Bloomberg Ballistic

Posted on September 5, 2011 | Leave a comment

Seems the Mayor of NYC has had enough since there were 24 people shot over a span of 24 hours this past Labor Day weekend. As of last night, no suspect had been arrested although police are hunting for one suspect, who they identified as 17-year-old Oneil Dasilva of Mount Vernon.

Bloomberg went ballistic yesterday, demanding stiffer federal gun laws.

Mayor, I have a suggestion, since your city has practically the toughest gun laws around, why don’t you just catch the suspects, throw them in jail and toss away the key instead? You’ll find that makes a real difference.

UPDATE: Unpatriot Acts?

Posted on August 26, 2011 | 1 comment

The war on civilians, aka citizens, with cameras.

Watch the video. It will explain a lot.

UPDATE: War on photographing police continues:

In its ruling, which lets Simon Glik continue his lawsuit, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston said the way Glik was arrested and his phone seized under a state wiretapping law violated his First and Fourth Amendment rights.

Full court opinion here and more info at his link.

UPDATEx2: Gibson Guitar Raided By DOJ

Posted on August 25, 2011 | 1 comment

Via GatewayPundit:

“The Federal Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. has suggested that the use of wood from India that is not finished by Indian workers is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because it is the Justice Department’s interpretation of a law in India. (If the same wood from the same tree was finished by Indian workers, the material would be legal.) This action was taken without the support and consent of the government in India.”

UPDATE: Gibson CEO gives press statemeent. Apparently, the DOJ also confiscated $500K of materials from Gibson back in 2009 and the CEO wants it back.

And then there’s this news item also.

Michelle Malkin posted on this as well. Quite a few worthwhile links in her article that are also must reads.

And the CEO is interviewed by Dana Loesch. This is an inteesting interview (audio only).

Even Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) hits on it a small bit.

UPDATEx2: Seems Gibson’s CEO is a Republican supporter and a competitor (Martin), as a Democrat supporter who also uses the same wood, hasn’t been touched by the DOJ. How about that.

Reminder:
DOJ files lawsuits against Arizona & other states for passing ‘self-defense’ laws the same as Article 4, Section 4 in the U.S. Constitution.

Why is it our DOJ is more interested in protecting workers in another country (that didn’t ask for help) rather than protecting the lives and sovereign properties of our own citizens from Mexican crime cartels?

This needs an answer. Seriously.

EXXON Fighting Oil Killers

Posted on August 20, 2011 | Leave a comment

Here. In the Gulf of Mexico. Our own regulators killed EXXON’s attempt to drill in the largest oil field of over a billion gallons discovered in 2007.
h/t Hot Air.

Per Investors Business Daily:

The Exxon discovery is the biggest in a decade. If put into operation, its billion barrels will be enough to make a dent in America’s oil dependency on foreign tyrants. If that isn’t a sufficient national security reason, what is?

Not to mention our thousands of jobs lost in the Gulf Coast area and beyond, revenues to the government funds lost, economic devastation, more funds lost to overseas oil companies, our oil rigs lost to other countries, etc., etc. etc.

Now what was that quote by candidate Barak Obama? Oh, yeah:
“Under my plan, electrical energy costs would necessarily skyrocket.”

Apparently, it isn’t just coal that provides energy, now is it?

He’s Full Of It

Posted on August 19, 2011 | Leave a comment

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) at a town hall event in New Jersey in the middle of this week let it be known that he wants to eliminate the rich.
And how wealthy is this 87 year old?
“… he is worth an estimated $50 million …”

Seventh richest D.C. Lawmaker.

Now, do you honestly think this man is telling you the truth? Think he would give up his wealth willingly? What a hypocrite.

Poisoning Our Kids To Control Us

Posted on August 13, 2011 | 1 comment

Can you say – exploitation? Van Jones’ organization, while not using that word, is doing exactly that.

Remember Van Jones? He’s the one czar that had to leave the White House Administration. Not because he is an admitted Communist, but as a 9/11 Truther that has been called out by Glenn Beck numerous times. And now Van Jones is using kids to try to change our country. Well, he has been – not just now.

The thing is, the kids in the videos (following this link) don’t truly understand the whole of what they are saying. They aren’t yet mature enough to get the full impact of the crafted message scripted for them. But you probably are.

Messages such as – remove the cap on the social security tax – we gotta stop letting corporations be recognized as people. We’re the people, they’re not! – clearly communistic, socialistic. Doesn’t Van Jones know that the “cap” on social security witholdings has been shifted upwards for years ? Who does he think he is kidding?

Do you really want to be influenced like this? By Van Jones and people like him?

I do not.

More Government Infringement On Farmers

Posted on August 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

Not only is it absurd, will this be the straw that breaks the farmers backs?

While driving more out of farming and growing ever more expensive food, if any, for the masses? You know, us?

What’s next? Taxing pitchforks out of existence?

STOP THE PRESSES ! Well, somebody has a head on their shoulders, thank goodness. The idea of having farmers take a CDL driver’s test is now nixed.

UPDATE: Reworking Rewriting History

Posted on August 11, 2011 | Leave a comment

At our own White House official website.

Who would have guessed such attitudes would be so brazen, so despicable?

Wow. Just – wow.

UPDATE: AHA !! Now we know the real reason. It involves (mistaken) White House policy versus legal (?) actions and rewriting their website content to get them in synch. Of course, the Supreme Court has better information on what they should do instead. Way to go, Chief Justice Roberts.

But if the guys at the White House thought they could get away with this, they didn’t read footnote 10 of Chief Justice John Roberts’s opinion for the court in Arizona Free Enterprise Club’s Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett (citations and extraneous quotation marks omitted): “Prior to oral argument in this case, the Citizens Clean Elections Commission’s Web site stated that ‘The Citizens Clean Elections Act was passed by the people of Arizona in 1998 to level the playing field when it comes to running for office.’ The Web site now says that ‘The Citizens Clean Elections Act was passed by the people of Arizona in 1998 to restore citizen participation and confidence in our political system.’ ”

The court had previously held that preventing corruption was a “compelling state interest” that justified some restrictions on political speech. But as the chief justice noted, “we have repeatedly rejected the argument that the government has a compelling state interest in ‘leveling the playing field’ that can justify undue burdens on political speech.” The commission, a state government agency, was altering its public statements to bring them into line with its legal defense–precisely what the White House is now doing.
