| The National Rifle Association blasted Thursday´s meeting with Vice President Joe Biden, stating "this administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation´s most pressing problems." Biden´s task force promised the meeting would be one of many scheduled this week, so the group can gather input before recommending actions on gun control.But the NRA disputes that was the purpose of the meeting. "We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe," the statement reads, "and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment.

How shocking, they were more concerned with attacking the Second Amendment rather than keeping children safe. s/o

Did NRO seriously expect something positive to come out of the meeting? It´s all posturing by twiddle dum and twiddle dee.

Bravo, Gentlemen.
I would hope that one of them would have made that little subtle Obama "gesture" in Biden´s direction at some point during the meeting.

This should come as no surprise. The government is full of dunces who pretend to be getting input from all sides, when in fact the thing was decided a long time ago. I don´t know why they even bother pretending any more.
The ORIGINAL Nazi party was far more efficient than this wanna be.

Surely it is obvious that meetings and negotiations with Leftists are only for show and that the Leftists themselves have no interest in other ideas or proposals. I am not at all sure it is good strategy to continue to participate in this charade.

The NRA really had no choice but to show up for this sham meeting. They knew the fix is in already..,but the PR would have been terrible had they not participated.

Is there a way to start a discussion of how this administration is using sandy Hook in the same way as Fast. And Furious?

Liberals are fakes. Everyone knows it. They specialize in predetermined outcomes. At my public school workplace I see an endless series of travesties. Over the past decade I´ve been told scores of times that the admInistration wants input from the teachers, which is a lie. The liberal administration asks us to participate in surveys, which they use to justify bad decisions that are already made. I never do the surveys. Ever. The final insult is that these liberals all think they are so smart and that everyone else is stupid:

Yet the msm or Pravda Press keeps giggling and saying that Obama and Biden do not want to take away our 2nd amendment rights. Fools, of course they do.

Not to worry. Since these hacks don´t read the bills they pass, the punk can´t use an EO because of his "signature accomplishment."

Memo to NRA leaders: I hopt to God you know these madmen had you at the meeting purely for optics. They mean to have our guns and will lie, cheat and steal to get them. They hate you and want to destroy you.

Best defense is a good offense. I think the NRA needs to go into these meetings asking for financing to arm the entire population.

The Boy Scouts of America today voted to lift its longtime ban on admitting gay Scouts but will continue to exclude openly gay adults from leadership roles. The vote by its 1,400 national membership came as no surprise to gay rights advocates, who hailed it as a first step to ending discriminatory practices in the 103-year-old organization. The ruling by secret ballot at a national convention in Dallas means that mothers like Jennifer Tyrrell, who is a lesbian, will still be excluded from the Boy Scouts.

Although White House Chief Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler claims to have learned about the IRS audit scandal only last month, she had three unprecedented one-on-one meetings last year with the Treasury Department’s chief lawyer, who has known about the inspector general’s investigation of the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative nonprofits since at least June 2012. The Treasury lawyer in turn has a long history of extreme left-wing agitation. Christopher J. Meade, Treasury Chief Counsel, met with Ruemmler on September 27th, December 11th, and December 13th, 2012, according to White House Visitor Records requests.

The full text of President Obama´s "Future of our Fight against Terrorism" address, as prepared for delivery: It’s an honor to return to the National Defense University. Here, at Fort McNair, Americans have served in uniform since 1791– standing guard in the early days of the Republic, and contemplating the future of warfare here in the 21st century. For over two centuries, the United States has been bound together by founding documents that defined who we are as Americans, and served as our compass through every type of change. Matters of war and peace are no different.

President Barack Obama condemned “in the strongest terms the appalling attack" that killed an off-duty British soldier in a London suburb. “There can be absolutely no justification for such acts, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim, the police and security services responding to this horrific act and the communities they serve, and the British people,” Obama said in a statement the White House released Thursday. Obama also reaffirmed the “special relationship” between the United States and the United Kingdom.

President Obama is using his national security address today to reject the "Global War on Terror." "Beyond Afghanistan, we must define our effort not as a boundless ‘global war on terror’ – but rather as a series of persistent, targeted efforts to dismantle specific networks of violent extremists that threaten America. In many cases, this will involve partnerships with other countries. Thousands of Pakistani soldiers have lost their lives fighting extremists. In Yemen, we are supporting security forces that have reclaimed territory

President Barack Obama knows the dangers of not going far enough or fast enough to stop the climate crisis. History will celebrate his decision to lead us toward a clean energy economy that solves climate change and creates long-term, sustainable jobs for Americans. But achieving this awesome goal requires that we reject the TransCanada Corp.’s proposal to build the Keystone XL pipeline, which would cut through the heartland of America. This is a simple decision for a president who supports protecting our climate and creating jobs. Returning our economy to stable growth requires Americans to

What does a murderous jihadist terrorist have to do to get some recognition for his cause? You hack a British soldier to death in broad daylight on a London street while shouting “Allahu akbar” and then “swear by the almighty Allah” that you’ll never stop fighting, and the U.S. broadcast networks still can’t bring themselves to utter a word about Islam. True, the ABC CBS and NBC evening broadcasts called the attack “terrorism,” but for all the information they gave viewers, the attackers might have been Basque separatists or animal rights zealots.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.
