| Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé Knowles are among celebrities campaigning for gun regulation in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary. The stars feature in a new public service announcement against gun violence for Demand a Plan after 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 children and six adults before turning the gun on himself at the Connecticut school last Friday.The one-and-a-half minute clip features the celebrity activists asking: ´How many more colleges? How many more classrooms? How many more movie theatres? How many more houses of faith?´ before lawmakers tighten regulations.

Here´s a plan. Let´s prohibit the use of guns in movies and video games. Then let´s allow mental diagnosis to be made part of a person´s background that is checked before they are allowed to buy a gun.

What a collection of ugly mugs. How many of you brain dead twits have armed personal security? I´m guessing 90-100%. You disarm first. Then walk the streets of South Chicago after midnight. If you do that then we can talk.

As William S. Burroughs once said, “After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it.”
People don’t stop killers. People with guns do.

We don´t hear anything about the carnage at the Clackamas Mall near Portland Oregon just two days before Sandy Hook School!!
A man with a semi-automatic weapon entered the Mall and began shooting random people.
Fortunately, another man with a concealed carry permit was in the mall, after helping his companion and her child hide, he ran toward the sound of shots.
He hid behind a column, and peeked out, aiming at the gunman. He hesitated, there were innocent civilians in the line of fire, he couldn´t shoot.
But the gunman saw the aimed weapon, dropped his rifle and pulled a gun to shoot himself.
Good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns!
Each day, at least 99.9999% of legal gun owners do not shoot their weapons in a crime.
Every year, 2.5 million legal gun owners stop/prevent a crime with their legal gun, the vast majority never actually shoot that weapon at the time.

When Beyonce recently had a baby, she had a wing of a hospital cordoned off and protected against the hoi polloi by ARMED GUARDS. Paltrow hates the USA so much she chooses to live in Europe. That renders comments from those two invalid. Aniston I only know as a bimbo who makes the front pages of the supermarket tabloids bemoaning the fact that she lost her man to another bimbo. None of them has the brains to make a cogent statement about anything.

Message to Beyonce, how did your husband make his money. Didn´t he initially make his money via drugs and gun violence, then by glorifying drugs and gun violence.
To the rest of these useful village idiots, you have no ground whatsoever to stand on and preach to anybody. Your industry has greatly contributed the the deviancy in this culture. The lack of morals and perversion in this culture comes from many sources, one of them being the movie and music business.
Everytime ANY of these fools speak up, remind them of what they have done to become so wealthy and hateful at the same time. These vile creatures have been laying low since the shooting because they are desperately looking for the talking points to put them on some moral high ground. Those talking points DO NO EXIST.
They think they can be embolden by the media and their master´s latest action. To Jennifer, get married and pregnant, you are pathetic. To Beyonce, not buying your pregnancy bit. To the rest of these parasites, get on your knees and pray.

Yes. If we had just put armed guards at our schools like like we do at our movie studios this wouldnt have happened. Liberals have declared our schools to be ´Gun free zones´. If your a mental loon hellbent on killing people where are you going to go? Places with armed guards or Gun free zones?

Liberals have sullied our culture...their vile Life styles, drugs, immorality, violence laden films...they hold much of the responsibility ...they have irresponsibly sold that lifestyle to our children.
I think there needs to be a cap on their salaries at one million dollars...Not ever over that amount per year . ......and a special tax on them and all their films ...to support guards in movie theaters and schools as punishment for what they have wrought on our children and society...it´s for the children after all... They should certainly approve of that...let Beyonce and Gwennith and Jennifer lead on that one... They live to blather so have at it Libtards.

Why does society including liberals like these twits put a higher value on white kids than black ones. I haven´t heard an PSA´s from them about gangbanger shooting sprees. They have to have pat downs at gangbanger´s funerals now.
One of the main reasons for these school shootings is the shooters involved were bullied themselves and internalized the anger an resentment. This turns to plans to get even.
It looks to me like this Conn. kid had a very extreme case of social phobia and his mom was pushing him to inter act with other people which he rejected so much,he went off half cocked.
Way back in the mid 80´s my daughter was afraid to walk down the hallways at schools because of thug name calling and sexual harassment.I can just imagine how much worse it´s gotten the last several years.
You have teachers unions who fight tooth and nail to keep kids trapped in their ugly schools.Obama opposed the school voucher system in DC before congress reinstated it.Of course his pearly kids go to a safe private school.The ACLU is always there to say government money can´t be used to indoctrinate a kid to a religious school.What they really hate is the kid learning values.

Here are some hard facts. Jennifer Aniston employs security from Screen International Security Services. She has 24x7 armed protection, she right now has a two-man team at her residence, and ANOTHER two-man team at her new residence. She has a special team that comes with her when she travels. ALL are armed and with her day and night.
As far as "assault" weapons are concerned, the Sandy Hook a-hole used a Glock and a Sig Sauer handgun, both are 9mm. Neither is an assault weapon. These are typical guns used by police and security guards. And by Jennifer Aniston´s armed security.
Screw you Hollywood.

ATLANTA – Luke Hancock came off the bench to score 20 points, walk-on Tim Henderson sparked a second-half rally with a pair of monster 3s and Louisville advanced to the NCAA title game Saturday night, escaping with a 72-68 victory over Wichita State. As the final buzzer sounded, a Louisville player tossed the ball high into the air and injured Kevin Ware stood up, thrusting his arms above his head. It was the 15th straight victory for the top-seeded Cardinals (34-5), who will play the winner of Syracuse-Michigan for the national title Monday night.

The Keystone XL Pipeline has emerged as a major issue in the Massachusetts special U.S. Senate election, with environmental groups committing nearly one-third of the $1.25 million in outside money already spent on campaigns. The biggest spender so far is the League of Conservation Voters, which has already spent more than $545,000 to help elect Democratic candidate and Rep. Ed Markey, who has a strong pro-environment platform. “Our field campaign is resonating with voters across Massachusetts,” said Navin Nayak, a political specialist for the group. “The people of Massachusetts want climate change champion Ed Markey representing them.”

Nor is it clear if the show will definitely remain a half hour, as the original Crossfire was, or go longer.

At the corner of Columbia Pike and Walter Reed Dr. in Arlington, Va., sits a stainless steel bus stop with a million dollar price tag. Yes, that’s right. The futuristic-looking bus stop cost $1 million to build. The so-called “super stop” boasts a heated concrete floor and a digital display board that shows when the next bus will arrive, but it doesn’t do much to keep commuters warm or dry (except for their feet). The stop leaves the people waiting for transportation exposed to the elements.(Snip) Some $800,000 of the money came from federal and state tax dollars via grants,

Now that it’s almost departure time for Julius Genachowski, Obama’s first chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, The Hill newspaper has noted one important sign of his priorities. In his four years at the helm, the FCC hasn’t issued one fine to Hollywood for indecent content on broadcast television. Now there’s a legacy. Hollywood sends its gratitude, Mr. Chairman, for an absolutely perfect record of inaction. Who says that in Obama’s America, your campaign contributions can’t buy regulatory paralysis in Washington when needed? Few media outlets noticed. Communications Daily described Genachowski’s perfect zero as a “restrained approach.”

The battle for the potentially pivotal votes of African American legislators on a bill to legalize gay marriage in Illinois intensified Friday — as opponents and proponents alike pulled out the big guns. Leading the opposition, Cardinal Francis George and a group of black ministers launched an aggressive campaign against same-sex marriage to be waged through radio commercials and telephone calls. Weighing in on the other side, national civil rights leader Julian Bond sent a letter urging legislators to grant equal rights to “my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.” George met with prominent Chicago area black pastors and bishops

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
