| The promise has an ominous sound. Provoking memories of the eerie music in “Jaws” when the shark circles the boat, Team Obama is revving up its campaign machine for the showdown over gun control. “We’re going to take this fight to the halls of Congress,” Vice President Joe Biden warned. “We’re going to take it to the American people. We’re going to go around the country making our case.” Do-do, do-do, thump-thump-thump-thump. America is gonna need a bigger boat to survive the onslaught of the permanent campaign.

No where in Obama´s gun push do you hear him mention crime because he couldn´t care less about it. People that commit crimes have been cheated by society,so they´re entitled to their gains.
The media is creating the prism that Obama has momentum on guns. In the real world he doesn´t and he´s messing with the wrong people. Cutting back on the length of an ammo clip isn´t going to feed anybody or help them make rent.

Members of Congres aren´t going to touch this issue. Especially vunerable Democrats in the Senate. It´s going nowhere! Lots of smoke blowing, that´s it!

Mark Steyn made a compelling argument yesterday. For all of you who believe "vulnerable" Senate Democrats will not support Obie´s pending gun legislation, keep in mind what happened with ObamaCare. Polls consistently ran against it, but that did not slow Obama. He doubled down with who knows what kind of pressure, plus payoffs like the Cornhusker Kickback.
What does he have to lose? Absolutely nothing. Who knows what kind of intimidation and pressure will be brought to bear on those Dem Senators from red states. They have no idea what is coming.

I accumulated another weapon with a large clip and much ammo over the weekend. I am starting to feel more secure. I cannot fathom that this idiot is trying to make me into a criminal. I paraphase but get exactly the drift of a New York senator last week when he said that there would have to be changes to Cuomo´s new gun control law making illegal all police and state trooper hand guns because they have a fifteen shot clip. He said we cannot have the criminals have more firepower then our policeman. Idiots, all of them.

I have called my weakling republican congressman and informed him that I do NOT support any further erosion of the second amendment.
His office did assure me that he is focussed on the mental health aspect of these mass shootings.
Involuntary confinement cannot be decided by the ACLU.
Hopefully other constituents took the time to call.

Thanks for the great post #6. I heard that yesterday and it stopped me in my tracks. These are evil people and will stop at nothing. I heard Peter King, R-NY on the radio Sun. and he would support "some" gun control. Beware!!!

Never underestimate how crazy a 2nd term president can get. Richard Nixon actually thought he could impose nationwide Wage and Price Controls via executive order.
I would welcome a push from this President for more gun control much like the British welcomed Napoleon´s forces at Waterloo. I do not believe that Obama´s forces are strong enough to defeat a square of free men.

Concentrate on your Sheriff, your county and State level politicians. You may have to educate them, but using the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution you can prove each of these has the authority to stop this BS. May have to educate yourself first, it ain´t rocket science friends.

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday said the House won't pick up the Senate immigration bill and pass it. "The House remains committed to fixing our broken immigration system, but we will not simply take up and accept the bill that is emerging in the Senate if it passes," said the statement from Boehner, his top three lieutenants and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction on immigration. "The House remains committed to fixing our broken immigration system, but we will not simply take up and accept the bill that is emerging in the Senate if it passes," the statement said.

President Obama offers only weasel words to explain deaths in Libya and IRS abuses. He’s the master of verbal evasion. House Republicans need to replace debate with action to hold the president accountable on these issues. To get to the bottom of why four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, House Republicans should issue a formal resolution demanding to know where the president was on the night September 11 and what role he played. Obama needs to be put on the hot seat. Benghazi- For eight months, the White House has maneuvered

Much has been written and said about the astoundingly tone deaf performance of White House spokesman Jay Carney during this past month of scandals. The former journalist has lost the confidence of the people who were once his colleagues due to his unwillingness to tell the truth about his own deceptive statements (never mind those he represents in front of the press) about the Benghazi talking points or even to acknowledge that he has changed his story. The same applies to the shifting story he has told about the Internal Revenue Service scandal

A nonprofit connected to Rep. Corrine Brown (D., Fla.) and run by a local political power player overbilled Medicaid by nearly $1.4 million, the Florida Times-Union reported. According to an audit by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, the Community Rehabilitation Center in Jacksonville overbilled Medicaid by nearly $1.4 million. Reggie Gaffney, a former Jacksonville Port Authority board member, runs the nonprofit, which provides medical services for mental illness, substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS for low-income residents. Brown’s daughter, Shantrel, is a lobbyist for Arlington-based Alcade and Fay, whose clients include the nonprofit. C

Former Cambridge neighbors of a Russian mixed martial arts brawler shot dead by an FBI agent early yesterday in Florida — after ?being questioned about his ties to the marathon bombing and a Waltham triple murder — said he was nasty. Ibragim Todashev, 27, also hung around with slain marathon bombing mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 — swilling beer and eating chicken on a stoop on Harding Street, they said. “I was the happiest person when they moved. ... It’s a little more peaceful since they left,” a neighbor told the Herald yesterday of the Russian buddies.

The 2012 election season was filled with angry cries of “voter suppression,” almost all of them regarding attempts by states to require voter ID and otherwise improve ballot integrity. Bill Clinton warned that “there has never been — in my lifetime, since we got rid of the poll tax and all the other Jim Crow burdens on voting — the determined effort to limit the franchise that we see today.” Democratic-party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said “photo-ID laws, we think, are very similar to a poll tax.” All of this proved to be twaddle.

The Justice Department’s secret seizure of phone records from The Associated Press and its monitoring of Fox News reporter James Rosen are nothing less than thuggish attempts to criminalize the practice of journalism — the only profession specifically protected by the US Constitution. Free and open inquiry is also the cornerstone of our democracy, a legacy of the Enlightenment that found its clearest expression in the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” By which the Founders specifically meant political speech. They understood that, even with the checks and balances

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 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

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
