(Via TheBlaze ) A now-viral photo showing a long line of Connecticut residents waiting to register their guns and ammo is circulating across the Internet — and it’s sending chills down the backs of some gun owners.

From the Archdiocese of Washington tonight:
The Archdiocese of Washington is pleased that today the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued an injunction that prevents the Archdiocese and its affiliates from having to choose between paying crippling fines or facilitating the provision of abortion-inducing drugs, sterilizations, and contraceptives to their employees. The order prohibits the government from enforcing the HHS mandate’s objectionable requirements against the Archdiocese and its co-appellants pending further order from the court. (link)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Catholic organizations made a last-minute effort Tuesday to get the Supreme Court to block portions of President Obama’s health care law that will force them to provide health insurance for students and employees that includes birth control.
Several organizations, including the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Washington, the Catholic Diocese of Nashville, Catholic University and the Michigan Catholic Conference, asked justices to block the law until their arguments are heard. Parts of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, go into effect on Wednesday. (more…)
PENNSYLVANIA – Dreonna Breton was very concerned about her fourth pregnancy.
Now she and her husband, Jeremy, are worried about paying their bills after she was fired from her job as a registered nurse on Dec. 17.
“It’s a scary place to be,” she said. “We depend on my income heavily.”
Breton, 29, lost her job for refusing to be immunized against the flu.
And the Bretons, who live in West Donegal Township with their 19-month-old son, Westen, do not regret her decision.
“We know we did the right thing,” she said Thursday. (more…)
The Washington Times reports on the filing of federal Hate Crimes charges in connection with a “Knock Out Assault” that was videotaped:
Venezuela, in a squeeze for hard currency, devalued its currency for foreigners another 44%, following an initial devaluation of 32% by Chavez in February. The move is seen as a necessity to keep Venezuela from defaulting on sovereign debt when reliance on excessively high levels of public spending has been the tool of Chavez and his successor, Maduro, to maintain their grip on power. It is the 6th such major devaluation in a decade.
The move is essentially a bookkeeping sleight-of-hand – it allows the Venezuelan central bank to balance its books by “earning” more Bolivars for its oil export sales, at a time when overall sales volume has decreased dramatically.

UPDATE: (via TIME) […] The aide added that Obama only signed himself up, and not the rest of the First Family. Obama also did not enroll through the troubled Healthcare.gov or the D.C. exchange’s website. Aides signed him up in person over the weekend, due to the “complicated nature of the President’s case,” the White House aide said. “Some of Obama’s personal information is not readily accessible on the government databases used by the website for identity verification”.
The New York Times reports that middle class Obama voters are less than happy with finding out that their private plans are being cancelled, and that the Obamacare plans are much more expensive than their private coverage.
The Times describes them as “frustrated”. (!)
…. “We are just right over that line,” said Ms. Chapman, who is 54 and does administrative work for a small wealth management firm. Because their plan is being canceled, she is looking for new coverage for her family, which includes Mr. Chapman, 55, a retired fireman who works on a friend’s farm, and her two sons. “That’s an insane amount of money,” she said of their new premium. “How are you supposed to pay that?”

CALIFORNIA – A war of words has broken out over police force in California getting a new armored vehicle built more for a state of war than patrolling in the Golden State.
The Salinas Police Department recently issued a news release proudly announcing the arrival of the armored truck built to survive minefield explosions, which it got compliments of federal taxpayers as part of a program to convert military equipment to law-enforcement use. (more…)
By now everyone is aware the first Milli Vanilli family is on vacation again in Hawaii for the Christmas Holiday.
Just to remind everyone – this is the first President constructed without a home to go to for the Holidays. Not that he is vacationing in Hawaii, that’s not the point. President Obama and his family have no home, no roots, no center.
Much like his presidency is absent of any real compass point – so too is the actual person absent of any actual residence or home of origination.
[T]he President was able to secure the same house as last year in his favorite
Kailua beach neighborhood. An exact replica of the official White House
fence was once again flown out in advance to provide both security and privacy for President Obama and his family.
