Mexican troops arrest two in shooting of US Border Patrol agents

http://twitter.com/#!/Reuters/status/253636660200361984

Reuters is reporting tonight that Mexican troops have arrested two suspects in the killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Nicolas Ivie, who was shot and killed early Tuesday near Naco, Arizona. A second agent was injured as the two were on patrol at Brian Terry Station.

The two suspects were detained just miles from the site of the shooting, according to Mexican officials. At least one Univision reporter wondered if the gun used in the killing was connected to the Obama administration’s Fast and Furious operation.

Someone had to ask:

@ShannonBream were they Obama and Holder?

— Leo Rutten (@leoks) October 3, 2012

Update:

Fox News reports that the shooting may have been accidental and that no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting on either side of the border.

CBP's Self says possibility Ivie died in a "tragic accident, result of friendly fire" doesn't change fact that he made ultimate sacrifice.

This climate march photo-slam tweet featured in NY Post is awesome

http://twitter.com/#!/mike4libertyCA/status/514058099754143747

The tweet pointing out the utter hypocrisy of trash-leaving climate marchers was featured in this New York Post article:

Climate change marchers love the earth, litter on the streets http://t.co/qgY8hL3nWg

— New York Post (@nypost) September 22, 2014

The tweet? It’s beautiful:

Litter left by the #PeopleClimateMarch. Their love for the earth is so real, they couldn't even use a trash can. pic.twitter.com/uhB7JxBN8f

— C (@chelsea_elisa) September 21, 2014

It has been retweeted well over 1,000 times and rightly so.

@chelsea_elisa @AngryCBrown Typical liberal hypocrisy.

— Joan Farouqi (@pasandkat) September 21, 2014

Yep.

But, wait … stupidity enters the mix too.

@chelsea_elisa @AmericaHipple Maybe, but poor photo to demonstrate. Note green straw sticking out the side – it IS a garbage can, just full

— Timothy Choi (@TimmyC62) September 21, 2014

Um.

@TimmyC62 @AmericaHipple that's not a garbage can that's a mailbox.

— C (@chelsea_elisa) September 21, 2014

Reality is hard.

As for the sure-to-happen hate aimed at the Twitter user for daring to speak the truth? Stay tuned.

iPhone users still freaked out by Amber Alerts; toddler in Flint, MI found

Back in January, Twitchy noted that iPhone users were flooding Twitter with complaints and concerns about Amber Alerts:

iPhone users with the iOS 6 operating system received the message. Many Twitter users were awoken by the loud sound; a disturbing number of iPhone owners didn’t know what the nationwide warnings of abducted/missing children even were. Even more were unaware that their iPhones carried the alerts. For the ignorant: The messages are part of a new national cell phone emergency alert system “relying on Broadcast SMS to push notifications to smartphones for weather threats, Amber alerts and Presidential alerts. The system went live in New York City at the end of 2011, and should be live in most of the United States.”

Well, it happened again tonight.

RT if you just got that Amber alert. #WTF

O-Bam! Stacey Dash blasts Obama with single snark-word [video]

http://twitter.com/#!/Wellfonder/status/428567604995710976

As Twitchy readers know, actress Stacey Dash is still on receiving end of vicious hate and demise desires. The reason why? mainly because she actually is a Republican. That doesn’t suit the oh-so-tolerant Left.

Ms. Dash isn’t cowed and continues to talk truth.

http://twitter.com/#!/REALStaceyDash/status/430542486571069440

O-Bam! We come across everything you performed here, Ms. Dash! The @BarackObama Twitter account incessantly tweets away lies aided by the term “FACT” before all of them, as if which makes the lies real. Nailing with one well-placed snark word? Achieved!

Ms. Dash in addition weighed in on what she agrees had been best elements of Sunday night’s Super Bowl.

http://twitter.com/#!/REALStaceyDash/status/430148909642825728

Amen.

http://twitter.com/#!/smiles813/status/429044738528772097

Hold speaking genuine truth to energy, Ms. Dash.

‘Like pajama-clad pantywaists?’ REALITY! These replies to @BarackObama tend to be full of win

FACT! Mary Katharine Ham has slogan for President Pants unstoppable and lying liar Jarrett

Lesson not learned: Obama utilizing ‘FACT’ once again; people respond with truth

Reality to power: people turn Obama’s Romney ‘fact’ untrue narratives into pesky information about Obama

Clubhouse Cancer: Baseball fans bash Josh Beckett

http://twitter.com/#!/AnthonySabatin0/status/200962420095725569

Boston Red Sox star pitcher Josh Beckett is at the center of another baseball controversy. Just one day after the team announced the right-hander would miss a game due to a strained latissimus muscle, he was seen playing a game of golf as if he had never been injured at all.

To make matters worse Beckett continues to deny seeing anything wrong with his actions. When asked about it he became arrogant and refused to apologize.

“We get 18 off days a year,” Beckett said. “I think we deserve a little time to ourselves.

“I’ll spend my off days how I want to spend them.”

Fans were not at all pleased with Beckett’s attitude.

Not sure what Josh Beckett doesnt get. You make millions, when you are hurt you dont golf. Couldn't say I dont care louder if he screamed it

— Cameron Ginder (@cdginder2) May 11, 2012

Beckett doesn't seem to understand that the issue isn't just golf. It's playing golf while you're "hurt" enough to miss a start. Dope.

— Mike McMahon (@MikeMcMahonCHN) May 11, 2012

Beckett clearly doesn't get it!! If u r too injured to pitch and help ur team u have no business on a golf course!! #truth

— Lori (@lomartin33) May 11, 2012

Really Josh Beckett? What a typical #RedSox player

— Gage Fairleigh (@GageFair) May 11, 2012

Josh Beckett's remarks shows what is wrong with the #RedSox right now. No accountability. No discipline.

— the Don (@DonnieBeezer) May 11, 2012

Josh Beckett playing golf doesn't just "look bad". It IS bad. tells us he wasn't hurt, or doesn't care if he got hurt worse.

— Bob Halloran (@BobWCVB) May 11, 2012

Is it really news any more that Josh Beckett is a dumbass?

— Fake Craig Counsell (@craigcounsell) May 11, 2012

Josh Beckett says he only gets 18 off days a year. Apparently he is not aware of this "offseason" thing that most jobs don't have #redsox

— Dan Ivers (@DanIversNJ) May 11, 2012

Everytime someone plays hooky from work to play golf & then messes up beyond belief it will be referred to as pulling a Josh Beckett. #MLB
