Much has been said about the various Sheriff’s Departments around the nation stating their position they will not enforce any Federal confiscation of firearms from their citizens.
Remember as you watch these, the county Sheriff is the highest constitutional officer in every jurisdiction. They can refuse to comply. Yes, constitutionally they can. They can, but they will NOT.
Sorry, to be brutally honest, but no-one is willing to go “Ruby Ridge” outrage.

Not to worry, it’s only a drill…
Nevermind, it is only a training exercise….
Um, what exactly are they drilling, or training, FOR?
Seriously, everyone is reporting on “what” they are doing.
Fine. I get that.
Gun Laws and the Fools of Chelm – By David Mamet
Karl Marx summed up Communism as “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” This is a good, pithy saying, which, in practice, has succeeded in bringing, upon those under its sway, misery, poverty, rape, torture, slavery, and death.
For the saying implies but does not name the effective agency of its supposed utopia. The agency is called “The State,” and the motto, fleshed out, for the benefit of the easily confused must read “The State will take from each according to his ability: the State will give to each according to his needs.” “Needs and abilities” are, of course, subjective. So the operative statement may be reduced to “the State shall take, the State shall give.”
The Algerian Hostage Slaughter was a direct response to the French counter-offensive in Mali against the Islamist Jihadists. The Islamic terrorists responsible for the Algerian attack came from, and used weapons from, Libya. Even Hillary Clinton recently admitted as such.
Simultaneous to, and as a direct consequence of, this French/U.S. Mali escalation, all foreign nationals were recently recommended to evacuate the areas of Eastern Libya (Benghazi).
The United States is now providing military assistance, logistics, support, transport and refueling for French troops in their fight for Mali.
Turkish President Erdogan took over the primary gatekeeper spot from Mouamar Kaddafi after his death. Going back on the timeline on U.S. Benghazi support and weapons shipments for the “Rebels”, you might remember Turkey being opposed; Not opposed because Erdogan approved of Kaddafi, quite the contrary; Opposed because they wanted to increase the certainty of an Islamist, not moderate, victory. This is the same reason Turkey wanted to control the recipients of “any” weapons headed to Syria.
Also, think back to September 11th 2012, and the last official diplomatic envoy who met with Ambassador Stevens before the consulate attack began, Turkish Ambassador Ali Kemal Aydin; When the envoy was leaving, somehow they navigated the al-Qaeda roadblocks that were formed moments earlier and surrounded the neighborhood.

The only good thing from these debates is the doubling down by the insufferable water-carrier Moron on the issue which further slides him toward the land of perpetual irrelevance.
The ridiculous points again are evidenced: “the first step“, which we all know is EXACTLY their point. This is only the first step, at least he admits it. Secondly, this entire Pierced Moron mantra of “I don’t want to stop the second amendment” is insufferably moot. Pierce is a TV personality, the real people who do matter on this issue do indeed proport to remove all guns: Mayor Bloomberg, Senator Feinstein, Mayor Corey Booker, Governor Cuomo, Senators Schumer and Blumenthal et al, along with Attorney General Eric Holder have all advocated for the forced removal of “ALL” guns from law abiding citizens.

It is well noted the industrial legacy media is not covering this story. Imagine if one of George Bush’s Cabinet Members had created fictitious e-mail accounts to skirt transparency laws and hide their communication. EPA Head Lisa Jackson, aka Richard Windsor, ain’t just quitting because she wants to pursue another career choice; She’s quitting because her secret communication was found out and may indeed damage the Obama administration……
WASHINGTON DC – Republican lawmakers on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee warned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Thursday they may take “formal action” to pry information from the department regarding outgoing EPA administrator Lisa Jackson’s use of secret email addresses.
Committee Republicans in a letter said the agency failed to properly respond to requests for records about the use of non-public email accounts by EPA officials, including Jackson.
The GOP-led committee implied a subpoena could be issued if the EPA does not meet its requests, warning “failure to respond may result in formal action requiring EPA’s compliance.” (more…)
For almost a year, and through four refused FOIA requests, we tried to get the 911 call tapes from the Virginia Pilot Beatings. Fox News Bill O’Reilly was able to twist enough arms and aired the call tapes (Thur) on his show.
