| Second Amendment: Alleged killer Christopher Dorner has provided the country with a vital lesson as the gun-control debate rages: The government´s officially sanctioned gun owners can slaughter innocents too. The fired Los Angeles Police officer and ex-U.S. Navy reservist terrorizing Southern California, allegedly killing three and wounding three, is no Adam Lanza of the unspeakable Newtown infamy, no Jared Lee Loughner, who allegedly murdered a judge and maimed a congresswoman in Arizona, no James Eagan Holmes, whom officials say murdered 12 and injured another 58 moviegoers in

What is happening to the police in this Nation? Are they becoming combat troops? Read William Norman Grigg on another blog for alarming examples of police going rogue, some of it caught on youtube videos.

Going rogue and trigger happy to boot. Good thing the police are such notoriously bad shots or those two Asian ladies would be dead instead of just in the hospital and expected to recover. A good definition of "riddled" can be seen in the picture of their pickup. Looks like they shot at least fifty rounds at these two women.

When violent crimes are being perpetrated, very seldom are the police there to protect the victims. When that happens, innocent people to keep from turning into dead victims, must have the wherewithal to protect themselves up until the time the police arrive, which in many rural regions of the country can be a very long time.

The police shot as many as the "bad" guy.
The bad guy is suppose to be a marksman yet he fired a full clip at the police car - see windshield. He missed most of his shots.
The police fired at 2 ladies delivering newspapers and fired without warning and missed most of the shots (great news!).
I am glad these guys are poor shots for the most part!

Yet Mr Dorner shares one trait with all these other killers - he´s a liberal. He supports the dems, Obama, and hates the right.
See any reason to look further for how to tell if someone shouldn´t own a gun? "Oh, you registered Democrat. Sorry..."

President Obama has been struggling to push his agenda through Congress and boost his popularity, but now there is another bit of bad news for him to chew on: A poll indicates that Obama would lose an election to Ronald Reagan, the champion of conservatism, if such a choice were possible today. And it would be a landslide. Fifty-eight percent of Americans would choose Reagan, according to a survey conducted by Kelton Research for the National Geographic Channel. Reagan, a Republican who won the elections of 1980 and 1984, would even

NORTH KOREA is a tiny dictatorship with a bankrupt economy, but its leaders are remarkably adept at manipulating global public opinion. In recent weeks, we have been exposed to yet another brilliant example of their skill. Scores of foreign journalists have been dispatched to Seoul to report on the growing tensions between the two Koreas and the possibility of war. Upon arrival, though, it is difficult for them to find any South Koreans who are panic-stricken. In fact, most people in Seoul don’t care about the North’s belligerent statements: the farther one is from the Korean Peninsula,

A group of high-profile social conservatives warned Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus in a letter this week that their supporters could abandon the GOP if the party seeks to change its position on social issues, particularly same-sex marriage. Thirteen social conservatives, representing various influential groups, wrote Priebus ahead of the RNC´s quarterly meeting this week in Los Angeles to sternly rebuke the conclusions of a post-election report that advised Republican elected officials to adopt a softer tone toward social issues.

Terrorism: As Syria´s Islamist rebels merge with al-Qaida, Secretary of State John Kerry mulls more U.S. support for them. Can anyone explain what President Obama is doing to the Mideast? ´How´s that hopey changey stuff workin´ out for ya?" Sarah Palin famously asked, mocking Obama´s campaign slogan. The same could be asked of "that Arab Spring stuff," largely sparked by President Obama´s 2009 Cairo University speech seeking "a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world."

Media Bias: A basketball coach who shoves and curses at his players merits constant coverage by a media also transfixed by Newtown. But a Philadelphia doctor on trial for murdering a woman and seven babies? It´s ignored. Those who get their news from the three major networks have probably not heard of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, now on trial in Philadelphia, charged with seven counts of first-degree murder and one count of third-degree murder for killing seven babies who survived abortions and a woman who died after a botched pain-killer injection.

President Obama is pitching his new budget proposal as a fiscal peace offering to Republicans, but the details suggest everyone should expect more conflict. The fiscal 2014 plan he released Wednesday is a very slightly modified version of his previous budgets that reduces the deficit by raising taxes and trading defense cuts for more domestic spending. The real news is that his budget ratifies much of the spending increase of the first term and tries to lock it in. He wants the feds to spend $3.78 trillion next year ($11,944 per American), which would still be 22.2% of national

Fiscal Policy: Shorn of its accounting gimmicks, the president´s budget isn´t a "balanced" plan to get the debt crisis under control. It´s a monument to fiscal irresponsibility. With much fanfare and a lot of media hype, President Obama unveiled his latest budget plan — two months late. An IBD review of Obama´s budget finds that, among other things, it: • Boosts spending and deficits over the next two years. Obama´s own budget numbers show that he wants to hike spending over the next two years by $247 billion compared with the "baseline," which even after

For young Europeans, it must be difficult to imagine the routine deprivation that existed behind the Iron Curtain when Margaret Thatcher came to power. As a refugee in London during the Eighties, I had to smuggle necessities to my family in Poland: toothpaste, shampoo, washing powder and, hidden in the parcels, miniature editions of books that were banned there. Occasionally, these were found and confiscated – including, in 1984, a copy of Nineteen Eighty-Four. Mrs Thatcher’s role in changing all this cannot be overstated.

In the immigration-reform legislation soon to be released by the Senate’s Gang of Eight, there will be a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants — but it will require proof of the border’s having been secured, and it will involve an arduous process that could easily take two decades for those eligible. The mark-up process for the Gang’s legislation will begin during the week of May 6. There will be no limits placed on how many amendments can be added, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. These are the broad outlines of the legislation: Modernizing the legal-immigration system.

RUSH: We played for you a sound bite of Melissa Harris-Perry. Melissa Harris-Perry is a professor at Tulane. She has a show at PMSNBC. She is a standard-issue leftist. There is nothing extraordinary about her, and by that I mean she´s not extreme; she´s not way, way far out there. She is a mainstream American liberal today. Folks, that´s very important. This is the woman who thinks that the whole notion that kids belong to their parents is outdated. That idea is cockamamie. The government is really the parent.

Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn´t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.
