It’s what they do: Obama’s State of the Divided Union [Darleen Click]

It’s who they are … More than 20 survivors of gun violence and their family members will be in the House chamber on Tuesday as President Obama gives the first State of the Union address of his second term. The effort, organized in part by Mayors Against Illegal Guns and congressional advocates of stricter gun laws, may be the first coordinated attempt to pack the gallery with a group of

Tautology 101: “Biden: We’re counting on ‘legitimate media’ for successful gun control effort”

With ‘legitimacy’ defined as that media which helps the government push its gun control agenda by ignoring how “mental health” provisions and “universal background checks” prepare the ground for government registries and defining “crazy” down.  Or, if you prefer, what comes to count as legitimate, per Biden,  is that media that backs the efforts of the state against the rights of the individual.  Whereas any media that acts as a

The search is over / you were with me all the while

When our 1993 Land Cruiser couldn’t pass emissions — we would have needed to have the intake cleaned, then replace some spark plugs and a few gaskets — we decided it was time to get a new vehicle. One not only from this decade but from this century, our other car being a 1994 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. We didn’t make the decision to move on lightly:  the Land Cruiser had

UK vs US: murder rate trajectory and the lie of gun control

Gun control has nothing to do with crime, or murder rates, or mental health, or protecting children — though there are unquestionably some well-meaning useful idiots whose opposition to gun ownership is based on those factors so easily attached to the debate. It is instead about people control, and more specifically, individual control, with the removal of self-protection and the protection of the family paramount to a final push to

“Must Watch Video: Is the NDAA Lawsuit Headed to the Supreme Court?”

Were Bush still President, we’d hear no end to this suit.  But because Obama has the reins — and as a progressive, all he does is axiomatically good and right and proper and, well, progressive — the propaganda arm of the statist coup has determined that you all needn’t worry yourselves over what is essentially a tool that, when put in the proper, progressive hands, will most certainly be used

“CIA Nominee John Brennan’s ‘Secret War’ And What Really Happened In Benghazi”

Is it special prosecutor time yet, or is Obama still too historic and popular for the GOP to bother doing the right thing and get definitive answers? From the NYPost: Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack on the US consulate because of a secret low-level war in which American hit squads took out leaders of al Qaeda militias, which retaliated in Benghazi. There was

“Where Was Obama on Night of Benghazi Attack? WH Isn’t Saying”

If I had to guess? Cheeseburgers and ESPN, followed by an early bedtime. So he could be nice and refreshed for his visit with Beyonce. Who rumor has it detests men with puffy eyes.But who knows? It’s all speculation, because evidently it’s none of our goddamn business. The White House isn’t saying where President Barack Obama was, what he did or whom he spoke to between 5:30 p.m. Sept. 11,

Pope Benedict XVI to resign

Becoming the first Pope to do so in 600 years — or since the later Middle Ages / early Renaissance (depending on which historian you use). — Making Pope Benedict far more progressive than score of Popes before him. And yet even he wasn’t good enough for Catholics like Andrew Sullivan, who continue to insist the Church evolve to suit them (and “the modern world”), rather than stick to a
