FOX News Charles Krauthammer hits the nail squarely on the head. Dear Leader bit off more than he could chew when he choose to attack gun control as a legacy initiative. It’s going nowhere because, despite what the media tells you, the majority oppose the idea(s). Senators and Congresscritters have been swamped by constituent calls about gun confiscation efforts.

Now Obama just uses the issue to generate campaign money. Period.

“All he wants now is the money… He’s lost on gun control. Do you think any of this is going to make any difference? It’s not going to make a bit of difference. Knowing all that he’s out there exploiting it as an issue. He’s not going to get the solution he wanted.”

(Via WeaselZippers)  NEW YORK  –  A New York father has had his firearms all but confiscated after the Suffolk County Pistol License Bureau suspended his pistol license indefinitely over a perceived threat made by his 10-year-old son and two of his classmates at school.

John Mayer, of Commack, N.Y., told TheBlaze that the incident occurred on March 1. It was like any other day, the father explained. He put his son on the bus and sent him off to school.

Later that day, Mayer got a call from school officials informing him that his 10-year-old son and two other students were talking about going to a boy’s house with a water gun, “paint gun” and a BB gun. There had reportedly been a school yard pushing incident the day before involving the boys, excluding Mayer’s son, and they were seemingly talking about getting even in some way. (more…)

(Via GWP) Last month Olander D. Cuthrell, a Virginia minister, said racists painted slurs on his home and torched it.  Cuthrell told police at the time of the arson, “It’s hard now sleeping… There’s no peace, there’s no sense of security.”

Yesterday Cuthrell was arrested and charged with two counts of felony arson.  He set the fires himself.  There was no hate crime.

VIRGINIA – A Petersburg minister whose Chesterfield County house was set on fire last month and sparked a potential hate crime probe has been charged with setting the fires himself.

Chesterfield police arrested and charged Olander D. Cuthrell, 41, of the 7800 block of Little Ridge Court, on two counts of felony arson. Cuthrell is a minister at Good Shepherd Baptist Church in Petersburg.

At about 4:30 a.m. on March 15, police were called to Cuthrell’s residence where it was reported that a car and a porch were on fire. Both fires were extinguished and no one was injured. (more…)

(Via Campus Reform)  The U.S. government is working to murder 2 to 3 billion people worldwide using genetically altered food and depleted uranium bombs, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan told students at a school-hosted speech at Tuskegee University late last month.

“[T]o cull, meaning to get rid of, two to three billion people is policy,” said Farrakhan. “Now here are the methods they are using to effect global depopulation: Depleted uranium bombs… genetically modified food.” (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy vowed to move swiftly on immigration  legislation despite calls from conservatives, including Sen. Marco Rubio, to  slow the process.

Reacting to a Rubio (R-Fla.) letter over the weekend calling for extensive  hearings on the soon-to-be-unveiled immigration bill by a group of eight  senators, the Vermont Democrat said his panel would “consider” holding a hearing  on the measure once it was introduced. But Leahy raised concerns that waiting  too long could undermine the larger effort to pass the comprehensive bill,  calling the matter “urgent.”

Senate “Gang of Eight”

“While you have conducted the process of the ‘gang of eight’ behind closed  doors, I can assure you that it has always been my position … that the work of  the Committee should be open to the public,” Leahy said in a Tuesday letter, (more…)

(Via Daily Mail) An American tourist who was attacked in Rio de Janeiro was gang raped in front of her boyfriend, it emerged yesterday.

The young woman and the Frenchman were apparently subjected to a six-hour ordeal by three men after flagging down a public transit van in the Brazilian city.

The horrific crime has sparked fear among visitors to the metropolis, which is set to host next year’s football World Cup as well as the 2016 Olympics.

A few minutes after the pair of tourists boarded the mini-bus on Friday night, the operators ordered the other passengers to get off and inflicted a ‘party of evil’ on the couple. (more…)

It’s comical to watch the liberal-left protest about North Korea’s provocations and statements about their intention to “Nuke” U.S. Cities.

Tonight I even saw Piers Morgan pose the question “when should the United States take action to defend itself, and launch a defensive attack”?

Yet, when it comes to Israel facing even more provocative intentions from Iran, and others, who have claimed a desire for total annihilation of their nation – Israel is not afforded the same right of defense.

Somehow, the leftist-progs find a way to reconcile this pretzel logic in their own little prog minds.

Sometimes it helps to just look at what was being said and espoused. Contrast what is stated and claimed in this video against the known truth – CLICK HERE  (there’s a full transcript at the link)

Progs exist in a world built on pure hypocrisy.   Smug, pontificating, good for thee – not for me….  Not In My Back Yard – hypocrisy. 

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — After George Lucas abandoned plans to build a movie studio along a woodsy road in Marin County, he complained about the permitting process in a place so environmentally friendly that hybrid-car ownership is four times the state average.

His next move, some here say, was payback for what Lucas described in a written statement as the “bitterness and anger” expressed by his neighbors.

The creator of “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” is working with a local foundation that hopes to build hundreds of units of affordable housing on a former dairy farm called Grady Ranch, where his studio would have risen.

Now Marin County is squirming at that prospect — and it is not a pretty sight. (more…)
