Today marks a great victory for Second Amendment advocates in Massachusetts. As of this morning, a new version of H.4121 has been released by the House Ways and Means Committee.

The new number is H.4278. The new version is a tremendously different piece of legislation from the original version and that is a direct result of your efforts.   Continue reading “Massachusetts Gun Activists Force Rewrite of H. 4121 to Make Bill Neutral”

Emerging from a meeting on the border crisis with one of his harshest critics, President Obama said he and Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, don’t have a major disagreement about how to handle the problem, the challenge is Congress.

“There’s nothing the governor indicated that he’d like to see that I have a philosophical objection to,” the president told reporters. “The problem here is not a major disagreement around the actions that could be helpful in dealing with the problem. The challenge is: is Congress prepared to act to put the resources in place to get this done.”   Continue reading “President Obama Urges Congress to Pass Immigration Bills”

TWO MANHATTAN men were arrested early Monday after they piloted a drone close to the George Washington Bridge and nearly struck an NYPD helicopter, police sources said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is holding off for now on seeking new legal authority to send unaccompanied migrant kids back home faster from the Southern border, following criticism that the administration’s planned changes were too harsh.

Instead when Obama formally asks Congress for more than $2 billion in emergency spending Tuesday to deal with the border crisis, the request will not be accompanied by the policy changes that the White House had indicated it planned to seek, according to two congressional aides. The aides spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the matter by name ahead of the announcement.   Continue reading “Obama Backs Off Plans To Send Children At The Border Home Faster”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Monday that most unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border are unlikely to qualify for humanitarian relief that would prevent them from being sent back to their home countries.

The pointed warning came as the White House finalized a spending request to Congress detailing the additional resources President Barack Obama wants in order to hire more immigration judges and open additional detention facilities to deal with the border crisis. White House officials said they planned to send the more than $2 billion request to lawmakers on Tuesday.   Continue reading “White House: Most kids at border won’t stay in US”

The Fast and Furious scandal, if you’ve forgotten, concerned the bloody aftermath of a Three Stooges plan to let guns “walk” into Mexico so that federal agents could track down their eventual owners.

Right, right, it didn’t make much sense—except as the casus belli for a gun-grab. That was the NRA’s going theory from the time the scandal broke to whenever we stopped hearing about it. “Over a period of two or three years, they were running thousands and thousands of guns to the most evil people on Earth,” said the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre in 2011, with his usual lack of hyperbole. “At the same time they were yelling ’90 percent … of the guns the Mexican drug cartels are using come from the United States.'”   Continue reading “Gun-Running, the Abolition of Slavery, and the Border Crisis”

McDonald’s happy image and its golden arches aren’t the gateway to bliss in Bolivia. This South American country isn’t falling for the barrage of advertising and fast food cooking methods that so easily engulf countries like the United States. Bolivians simply don’t trust food prepared in such little time. The quick and easy, mass production method of fast food actually turns Bolivians off altogether. Sixty percent of Bolivians are an indigenous population who generally don’t find it worth their health or money to step foot in a McDonald’s. Despite its economically friendly fast food prices, McDonald’s couldn’t coax enough of the indigenous population of Bolivia to eat their BigMacs, McNuggets or McRibs.

Passengers using airports that offer direct flights to the US may be forced to switch on their mobile phones and other electronic devices to prove to security officials that they do not contain explosives, it was announced on Sunday.

“During the security examination, officers may also ask that owners power up some devices, including cell phones,” the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said in a post on its website. It warned: “Powerless devices will not be permitted onboard the aircraft. The traveller may also undergo additional screening.”   Continue reading “US-bound passengers may have to switch on mobile phones for security”

Ordinary Internet users, American and non-American alike, far outnumber legally targeted foreigners in the communications intercepted by the National Security Agency from U.S. digital networks, according to a four-month investigation by The Washington Post.

Nine of 10 account holders found in a large cache of intercepted conversations, which former NSA contractor Edward Snowden provided in full to The Post, were not the intended surveillance targets but were caught in a net the agency had cast for somebody else.   Continue reading “In NSA-intercepted data, those not targeted far outnumber the foreigners who are”

Gov. Rick Perry said Sunday that President Obama doesn’t care if the southern border is secure and that his failure to anticipate and stem the tide of Central American children entering the country indicates he is either “inept” or has an “ulterior motive.”

“What has to be addressed is the security of the border. You know that. I know that. The president of the United States knows that. I don’t believe he particularly cares whether or not the border of the United States is secure. And that’s the reason there’s been this lack of effort, this lack of focus, this lack of resources.” Perry said on ABC’s “This Week.”   Continue reading “Perry: Obama either ‘inept’ or has ‘ulterior motive’ for border failure”

Former NYPD police commissioner Raymond Kelly said Sunday that the Island State of Iraq and Syria poses a significant threat to America.

The advancement of ISIS, which has as much as $2 billion to spend on acts of mayhem, is “very, very problematic” and proof we live in a “complex and dangerous world,” Kelly said in a radio interview with John Catsimatidis.   Continue reading “Ray Kelly says ISIS is a threat to America”
