California Seizes Guns as Owners
Lose Right to Keep Arms

Bloomberg, by Michael B. Marois & James Nash Original Article

Posted By: SpeedMaster- 3/12/2013 3:07:45 PM Post Reply

Wearing bulletproof vests and carrying 40-caliber Glock pistols, nine California Justice Department agents assembled outside a ranch-style house in a suburb east of Los Angeles. They were looking for a gun owner who’d recently spent two days in a mental hospital. They knocked on the door and asked to come in. About 45 minutes later, they came away peacefully with three firearms. California is the only state that tracks and disarms people with legally registered guns who have lost the right to own them, according to Attorney General Kamala Harris. Almost 20,000 gun owners in the state are prohibited from possessing firearms, including convicted felons, those under a domestic violence restraining order or deemed mentally unstable.

Look surprised. “This is a joke. We’re wasting the president’s time and ours,” complained a senior White House official who was promised anonymity so he could speak frankly. “I hope you all (in the media) are happy because we’re doing it for you.” Another said the president was sincerely trying to find common ground with stubborn Republicans. “But if we do it,” the aide hastened, “it won’t be because we had steaks and Merlot with a few senators.”… This was predictable. The White House was warned by Democratic allies in Congress and on K Street that,

The first budget from Senate Democrats in four years includes nearly $1 trillion in new taxes but would not balance the budget. The blueprint unveiled by Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.) on Tuesday to her Democratic colleagues would also turn off the next nine years of the sequester and replace those spending cuts with a 50-50 mix of tax increases and spending cuts. The budget would dedicate $100 billion to economic stimulus in the form of infrastructure spending and job training. Murray argues that her budget cuts $1.85 trilion from deficits over ten years.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered the military to stop production of a controversial new medal pending a 30-day study of whether the award for drone pilots and cyberwarriors should outrank medals given for battlefield bravery. The Distinguished Warfare Medal, approved by former secretary Leon E. Panetta during his final days in office last month, was criticized by members of Congress and veterans groups because it was ranked above the Bronze Star and Purple Heart in the military’s order of precedence.

Republicans in the House and Senate are resuming their efforts to take a mandatory Census Bureau survey that they say is overly intrusive, and make it voluntary. Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) said on the House floor Tuesday that he would reintroduce legislation making the Census Bureau´s American Community Survey voluntary, after hearing more complaints from constituents that it asks too many personal questions. Census mails out 250,000 of these surveys per year to American households. The surveys ask dozens of questions, including whether the home has a flush toilet, when people go to work,

During a conversation about Republican Paul Ryan‘s House GOP budget plan, Fox host Bill Hemmer and Democratic Rep. Chris Van Hollen (MD) got into what can be described as a “fiery interruption-fest,” with the latter accusing Fox of not handling the topic in a “fair and balanced” manner. About midway through the conversation, Hemmer dismissed Van Hollen as having just repeated “talking points” on the Democratic Party’s desire for a “balanced approach” to fiscal reform — i.e., spending cuts and tax increases. The congressman did not take kindly to that characterization.

WASHINGTON — If President Barack Obama had piled up political capital with his impressive re-election, it’s largely gone. His approval rating has dropped to the lowest level in more than a year, with more voters now turning thumbs down on his performance than thumbs up, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll. The measure of how much people like him also has dropped. He’s still vastly more popular than Congress, particularly congressional Republicans. But in the biggest political clash of the year – over the federal budget and how

National Intelligence Director James Clapper warned that the sequester cuts as written “jeopardizes” national security, but — in direct contrast with President Obama — promised to implement the spending cuts more prudently if Congress will allow it. “Sequestration forces our intelligence community to reduce all intelligence activities and functions without regard to the impact on our mission,” Clapper — who said he would have to “let go” of 5,000 contractors — told the Senate Intelligence Committee today. “Congress directed that the National Intelligence Program use an even more set of rules to carry out these cuts than that

Fact check: Bloomberg claims more

“For the first time in the history of the world more people will die from overeating than undereating this year,” declared New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg last night on “The Late Night Show With David Letterman.” “Isn’t that remarkable,” Letterman remarked, before moving on to talk about how food companies get people addicted to their products. But Bloomberg’s claim calls for closer inspection. He’s not the only one saying it: a recent Global Burden of Disease study concluded obesity now a more serious problem than malnourishment in the world, with the exception of sub-Saharan Africa.

President Obama has often talked about the need to reduce the budget deficit. Before his run for the presidency, Senator Obama was rather harsh in his criticism of George Bush´s deficits. And in July 2011, during the debt ceiling crisis, the president even addressed Congressional leaders in a talk the White House titled "President Obama on Deficit Reduction: “If Not Now, When?” During the talk, he said: We keep on talking about this stuff and we have these high-minded pronouncements about how we´ve got to get control of the deficit

Principle: From fighting on the sequester to refusing to accept ObamaCare as a permanent fixture, Republicans are finding that truth-telling carries political benefits. The White House, meanwhile, is off balance. When President Obama proposed sweeping budget differences under the rug in 2011 by offering congressional Republicans a Gramm-Rudman-style sequester that would cut discretionary spending across the board,both the White House and GOP negotiators were certain it would never be triggered. When it became clear this year the sequester would indeed happen, the president was certain Republicans would blink. He had the advantage, after all, of the bully pulpit.

WASHINGTON — If Ashley Judd jumps into the Kentucky Senate contest to challenge Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell in 2014, expect to hear more about “All That is Bitter and Sweet.” That’s the title of Judd’s 406-page memoir, full of potentially harmful quotes that could end up being thorns in the side of the Hollywood actress and liberal activist during a campaign in a conservative-leaning state like Kentucky. Take Judd’s writing in the 2011 manuscript about how Tennessee — not Kentucky — is the place she seemed destined to live for the “rest of my life.”

What’s the purpose of Barack Obama’s “charm offensive?” And who is the target? In a long analysis in the New York Times on Monday, John Harwood and Dick Stevenson argue that Obama’s outreach over the past week is being undertaken with the goal of securing something along the lines of the “grand bargain” he discussed with Republicans in July 2011. Their lede demonstrates that assumption: “President Obama will go to Capitol Hill this week to try to salvage a big deficit-reduction deal, battling not only Republican resistance but also complaints from Democrats that he mishandled his last attempt.”
