BOSTON—Nearly two years after two pressure-cooker bombs ripped through a crowd of unsuspecting spectators near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon, a federal jury found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty for his role in the deadly attacks, which killed three and injured nearly 300.
The decision came a day and a half after seven women and five men began deliberations in the first phase of the trial and after 17 days of emotional and often gruesome testimony and evidence in the case. Jurors repeatedly saw horrific photos and videos of the bloody aftermath of the bombs. They also heard heart-wrenching testimony from survivors, including the father of the youngest victim of the attacks—8-year-old Martin Richard–whose body was literally blown apart by the second bomb.

HOUSTON (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday denied a Justice Department request to lift a temporary hold on President Barack Obama’s executive action that sought to shield millions of immigrants from deportation.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen refused to stay his Feb. 16 decision that granted a preliminary injunction requested by 26 states. The U.S. government wants the injunction lifted — allowing Obama’s action to proceed — while it appeals Hanen’s ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court in New Orleans.

Switching tactics, a liberal legislator from Connecticut (where else?) thinks she can pay gun owners to voluntarily disarm. And by pay I mean with taxpayer money, not with her own funds.
US Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) plans to introduce a bill that would give gun owners tax credits for surrendering their “deadly assault rifles.” Continue reading “Liberal Bill Would Pay Gun Owners To Surrender Their ‘Assault Rifles’”
