The New York newspaper that drew criticism for publishing the names and addresses of hundreds of legal gun permit holders is doubling down by publishing the personal information of even more law-abiding gun owners. To great criticism, the Journal News published an interactive map showing the names and addresses of the legal gun owners in [...]
Right of center Americans have been ridiculing the vacuity of Sean Penn for years but he’s had his critics on the left as well and the Daily Beast recently joined that small group of left-wing sources critical of Penn with a devastating piece lambasting Penn’s pretensions at being a social commentator and journalist. There is [...]
Photo via The Poke I’ve got no idea who these people are, but I sure hope they didn’t use this family portrait on their Christmas cards.
Note from the Media: Occupy is mostly peaceful. Not all occupiers are violent, extremists with bomb materials…except when they are. Morgan Gliedman and her Occupy lover, Aaron Greene are headed for jail. Gliedman is 9 months pregnant. Wonder how Gliedman’s parents feel about raising their grandkid. NY Post: A detective discovered a plastic container with [...]
‘I never compare myself to Lincoln.” President Obama answering David Gregory’s “Is this your Lincoln moment?” question on Meet The Press. President Barack Obama speaking in Decorah, Iowa – August 15, 2011: “When you listen to what the Federalists said about the Anti-Federalists, and the names that Jefferson called Hamilton and back and forth — [...]
Imagine you are working for a company that is going bankrupt, but everyone you work with and your bosses are getting pay raises. Seem absurd? Not if you work for the failing federal government because President Obama has happily decreed that Vice President Biden, members of Congress and most federal workers are getting raises for [...]
For all the abuse the Old Media establishment has dished out to the National Rifle Association this month, polls show that the NRA is still more popular than the media. Gallup released a poll this month stating that the NRA stands at 54 percent approval. Fifty-four percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of the [...]
I’m beginning to think this President is at worst, a pathological liar or at best, Bipolar. A month ago, he was barking like a junkyard dog in defense of Susan Rice, after admitting he sent her out to lie to the nation. Now we get this from Obama on Benghazi (via MSNBC): GREGORY: In the [...]
From The Hill: The three bills are aimed at preventing a spike in dairy prices looming in the new year. Because Congress has failed to renew farm programs, an underlying 1949 law is slated to kick in. This would force the government to buy up American milk at inflated prices and the purchases are expected [...]
Well that was embarrassing. Turns out we were down for a few hours while I wasn’t looking. Usually I get text messages and other alerts if there is anything wrong with the site. It turns out I did get the alerts, I just didn’t have my phone near me to receive them… Oh well, it’s [...]
Well, as we are all aware of by now, the latest crisis being used to spook the bejesus out of Americans is the upcoming, scary-sounding ‘fiscal cliff.’ Though the fiscal cliff may indeed have the potential to cause some uncomfortable financial consequences for the American taxpayer, let’s not kid ourselves about the true motives behind [...]
The Journal News of suburban Westchester, New York caused outrage by publishing an interactive map showing the names and addresses of New York’s legal firearm owners. In a sort of two-can-play-that-game reaction, a New York blog decided to create a map showing the names and addresses of employees of the newspaper. The blog “Talk of [...]
On Sunday Senator Chuck Schumer tried to pass off the 1994 assault weapons ban bill that was canceled eight years ago as the reason that today’s violent crime rates have been down. In a discussion about gun control with Senator Chuck Schumer (D, NY) and Lindsey Graham (R, SC), David Gregory of NBC’s Meet The [...]
My previous post dealt with two “surprise” taxes buried in the new Affordable Care Act regulations. And for the past year, observers have been listing the plethora of new taxes scheduled to take affect in 2013, fiscal cliff or no fiscal cliff. But that isn’t the whole story. Far from it, in fact. All that [...]
…it is because she stands on the shoulders of giants. Forcing the law-abiding to present themselves and be registered by government agents has long been a staple of freedom-loving rulers. Why even today we see shining beacons of freedom taking the common sense measure of passing laws to register lawful users of an inanimate object [...]
Lots of arguments flying back and forth on gun control these days, and I came across and interesting piece from the other side. Other side of the globe, that is. From the glorious pages of Pravda comes this editorial from Stanislav Michin, reprinted from his blog Mat Rodina. I did a little editing to clean [...]

Long-time ABC News correspondent Sam Donaldson has a message for “The Tea Party.” He wants them to know it isn’t their country anymore. That is what he said on the Chris Matthews Sunday Show on December 23, anyway. Not only did Donaldson tell “The Tea Party” that they should be gotten “rid of,” but it [...]
Venture capitalist John MacIntosh proposes that a group of rich liberals purchase Freedom Group, the largest gun manufacturer in the United States, then systematically destroy it. Cerberus Capitol Management is selling its state in Freedom Group after the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS) put pressure on Cerberus to divest. The Freedom Group is one [...]
In a shameless rush to use the murders at Sandy Hook as a soapbox from which to show her ass to the law-abiding gun owners in America, perennial gun-grabber and all-around lackwit Dianne Feinstein (D, California) has released an outline of the gun control legislation she intends to introduce to the Senate in 2013. Drawing [...]
As I stated last week via the NY Times article, it looked to me like these folks were being paid off by being put on administrative leave. Emphasis added: Oh hey, look…Some resignations! With the Accountability report also came four resignations. Four is a nice round number to take the blame for what was ultimately [...]
When The Journal News published a listing of gun owners in the New York counties of Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam, readers and denizens of the interwebs were downright perturbed. One site, For What It’s Worth, turned the tables on Journal News Editor Cyndee Royle and the rest of her staff by publishing their public records. [...]
While everyone has been busy worrying about the “fiscal cliff,” a number of other regulatory and tax changes have gone by relatively unnoticed. Two of these involve the massive new Affordable Care Act regulations, which largely go into force on January 1, 2013. The first is a $25 billion tax that will be added to [...]
Washington D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier has affirmed that the department is looking into allegations that NBC’s David Gregory violated D.C.’s gun banning laws during a recent taping of Meet the Press. In a discussion about gun control on the December 23 broadcast of the NBC Sunday morning political talk show, host David Gregory brandished [...]
On NBC’s Meet The Press over the weekend, David Gregory was quite confrontational with the Vice President of the National Rifle Association over the organization’s idea of putting armed security guards in every school in America. But even as Gregory mocked the NRA for the idea, he seems to see nothing wrong with sending his [...]
