| A number of pro-2nd Amendment groups have condemned a series of letters written by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel encouraging both Bank of America and TD Bank not to honor credit lines with gun manufacturers, but so far, Emanuel is not facing any legal action for his interference in a private contract. Last week, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel sent a letter from his office to two banks, Bank of America and TD Bank, asking each to suspend doing business with gun manufacturers in the hope that this will pressure these companies into helping gun legislation pass.

Both banks should consider suspending doing business in Chicago.

Hey Rahm have you thought about having some of your nearby thugs shifting their fire from Chicago´s citizens to Gun manufactures?

And the voters of this once great country have handed the White House and executive branch of the US government to the Chicago Mafia--twice.
And I didn´t even get my "free" Obama cell phone.

Politicians have all kinds of ideas for the bankruptcy of Bank of America. Write off their home mortgages, don´t lend to gun manufacturers, government forced loans to those who have no income. Yee HAA, democrats are wizards of finance and ruin.

Of course Rahm is the guy who also didn´t want Chick-fil-A to be able to do business in Chicago. Unbelievable. He gets to pick and choose what businesses will be allowed to operate there. What a thug.

Even before this letter from Emanuel, Bank of America has been asking gun sellers and manufacturers to close their accounts and has frozen the account of one of them..

And what would Bank of America and TD Bank do if people threatened to take their business elsewhere if they come close to complying with the thug?

#11 - Last Thursday I wrote TD Bank to tell them I would take my business elsewhere if the buckle. I have been banking with them (or a bank they bought) since 1990.

I can tell you one thing for certain: if either of these banks comply with Emmauels´ "suggestions" there will be a major pull-out of customers throughout the U.S. What a bunch of thugs these Chicago pols are (and I include our President and his illegal strikes against the Constitution).

Nope because no one will say anything, they will not arrest him just allow him to do it, he´s a friend of Obama and the news media might say something bad about them and not Rahm.

It has to be a court case. Only a court can stop him, and only another court can make him comply with the first court, and only a third court can .... there´s no other way and we can only hope there are some brave judges out there.

By seeking to ban just about all modern firearms produced and sold in the USA, the liberal Democrats are affectively attempting to put most of the conservative oriented US small arms and relating industries out of business, as those industries could not survive bidding on the diminishing number of military small arms contracts. If the liberal Democrats are successful they will also be eliminating the tens of thousands of well paying American jobs that now exist in those industries.
Notice that the liberal Democrats have nothing to say about the Hollywood movie, and the video game industries that produce an unending stream of very violent movies, and addictive and very violent video games, that give the unsound minds of young people with mental disorders who grow up in places like peaceful rural Connecticut towns, ideas as they set out on their own personal suicide missions, that by committing criminally insane mass murders they can draw worldwide attention to themselves. That´s because the movie and video game industries are big time liberal Democrat financial supporters.

This will come as a shock to those who believe the only significant news in recent weeks has been the Benghazi, IRS and AP/Fox News intimidation scandals, but there have been some significant developments on other issues. Consider the May 14 "Dear Colleague" letter by Republican Sens. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and John McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona. One sentence in particular stands out: "We, therefore, are notifying you of our intention to object to the consideration of any legislation that fails to meet any

Conservatives and Republicans would be unwise to pursue President Obama´s impeachment as my colleague Bruce Walker today argues. The odds are the effort would backfire, and there is a much more important goal that should be at the center of our political strategy: sweeping Democrats out of office in 2014 and 2016 in numbers sufficient to enact structural reforms, including replacement of the tax system and junking the IRS and outlawing public employee unions. President Obama is handing his opponents the means, if only they have the wit to pursue the bigger goal.

The battle lines are drawn for the November election in Virginia, with Democrats seeking to portray the GOP ticket that emerged from the party’s state convention this weekend as “extreme” and “all Tea Party, all the time.” (Snip) Now Democrats think they can discredit E. W. Jackson, the minister and lawyer the GOP nominated for lieutenant governor after four ballots this weekend. He told delegates on Saturday he was “not an African American, but an American” and vowed to “get the government off our backs, off our property, out of our families, out of our health care

Representative Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, says President Barack Obama may face impeachment over his administration’s response to the Benghazi attack. (Snip) Chaffetz’s tension with the White House has been building for months, ever since he took a fact-finding trip to Libya last October, less than a month after the terrorist attack. During that visit, he huddled with several U.S. diplomats, including Gregory Hicks, a former deputy chief of the Libya mission. But the heavy-handed tactics of the president’s advisers, he complains, sullied his investigation from the start.

Editor’s Note: Last week, Jay Nordlinger attended the Oslo Freedom Forum, the annual human-rights conference held in the Norwegian capital. I have a friend named Mileydi Fougstedt, who’s a Cuban journalist resident in Stockholm. Her first name is pronounced pretty much like “m’lady.” So when you’re speaking to her, you feel like you’re speaking to a high-class Englishwoman. (Snip) One of the speakers here is the prime minister of Tibet — the democratically elected prime minister of Tibet. I’m speaking, of course, of what’s called the “Central Tibetan Administration”: Tibet’s government-in-exile, located in Dharamshala, India.

Under President Obama, “justice” is anything but blind. (Snip) Our sources have provided Liberty Counsel an internal DOJ document titled: “LGBT Inclusion at Work: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Managers.” It was emailed to DOJ managers in advance of the left’s so-called “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month.” The document is chilling. It’s riddled with directives that grossly violate – prima facie –employees’ First Amendment liberties. Following are excerpts from the “DOJ Pride” decree. When it comes to “LGBT” employees, managers are instructed: “DON’T judge or remain silent. Silence will be interpreted as disapproval.”

It is a bizzaro world indeed when left-leaning Slate makes a better case for limited government than the Mitt Romney Campaign and the GOP establishment managed to make during the 2012 cycle. Yet for the second time in less than a week, two different writers from Slate have done so, making compelling arguments for conservatism, and tweaking the establishment at the same time for good measure -- simply by observation and common sense.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
