“Large police presence in Revere connected to Boston bombing”

FOX Boston: A law enforcement source tells Fox 25 that a large police presence at a home in Revere is related to the Boston Marathon bombings. The source said that a suspicious driver was pulled over by Revere police after driving past the State Police barracks a number of times. The driver reportedly had a “nervous demeanor.” The driver then led police, as well as the FBI, to a home

Breaking: pair of explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon [updated]

CBS: Several people have been hurt in two explosions near the Boston Marathon finish line, CBS Boston reports. There were two booms heard from near the finish line inside the Fairmount Copley Plaza Hotel. WBZ-TV says the medical tent near the end of the marathon course has been filled with many people who have been “gravely injured.” It happened around 2:45 p.m. outside Marathon Sports on Boylston Street, according to

On intent and perspective

The Founding Fathers, extremists: “Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American…[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but,

“The Pro-Gun’ Provisions of Manchin-Toomey are Actually a Bonanza of Gun Control”

I know. Shocking!  Dave Kopel, writing at Volokh: The Toomey-Manchin Amendment which may be offered as soon as Tuesday to Senator Reid’s gun control bill are billed as a “compromise” which contain a variety of provisions for gun control, and other provisions to enhance gun rights. Some of the latter, however, are not what they seem. They are badly miswritten, and are in fact major advancements for gun control. In

“Machin-Toomey Background Check ‘Compromise’ Regulates Transportation of Firearms, Ammunition”

Of course it does. It’s filled to the brim with poison pills and vague language that the progressives have already devised as strategy to exploit. Which they were able to do because they wrote the majority of the thing and crafted. the Trojan Horse viruses inside of it. Breibart: These new rules [for transporting firearms and ammunition] are on top of expanding background checks to cover every sale at a

“High court rejects challenge to NY gun law”

Because while compelling people to buy uniform, government-written health care policies is of course something the founders and framers intended, states using the force of government to make it nearly impossible for people to keep and bear arms to protect themselves — in direct contradiction to the Bill of Rights — is naturally none of the Supreme Court’s goddamn business. Chief Justice Roberts has a legacy to consider, after all,

“Libertarian” Bill Maher: The Second Amendment is “bullshit”

Look, I don’t know what this tool is carping about.  I mean, it’s not like seventeen-year-old hookers are permitted to carry concealed weapons — and Ann Coulter’s already demonstrated that she has no intention of plugging him.  At least, not with bullets. So he should probably just count his blessings and, you know, shut the fuck up.  Wouldn’t you say? Good. Glad I could help. (h/t Alex)

Thiessen: “Obama can’t blame Bush for deficits any longer”

Silly Mr Thiesssen:  of course he can.  Now, you may argue that such a position is implausible, and that it is based on assertions that are both logically and factually incorrect.  But that just means that your logic and your facts want to see the first ever historic half-black President fail. Because they’re racist. So let me ask you:  Why do you hate half black people, Mr Thiessen?  And does

“Why Zandi to FHFA could mean Obama mortgage principal reductions, mass refi plan”

Shit. And right after I refinanced, too. Jim Pethokoukis: If Mark Zandi becomes the new regulator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it could potentially be one of the most significant economic events of President Obama’s second term. Unlike Ed DeMarco, the acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Zandi, currently chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, favors the use of principal reduction by Fannie and Freddie to help some of America’s 6-7 million underwater borrowers
