Excerpted from The Los Angeles Times: One of the senators behind the compromise proposal to expand background checks on gun purchases will mount a Senate floor sales pitch Monday, part of a lobbying effort to ensure passage for the key piece of a larger guns bill when it comes to a vote this week.
When the Senate convenes Monday afternoon, Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W. Va.) plans to take to the floor to go through his proposal piece-by-piece to dispel what he considers misrepresentations from critics of tighter gun laws. He’ll then challenge colleagues who have any questions to come to join him in the chamber for an open debate, and stay there for as long as it takes to satisfy concerns.

According to this breaking story out of Connecticut, the newly passed Connecticut gun law will soon be struck down due to a ‘technicality’ that occurred due to the rush too pass this bill. According to attorney Peter Sachs, the governor of Connecticut just signed “a blank piece of paper.”
A Branford attorney has uncovered a legal and legislative technicality that he says has rendered the state’s new gun law null and void. In an exclusive interview set to air Sunday on “Face the State with Dennis House” on WFSB-TV, Peter Sachs says state lawmakers made a key mistake in their rush to get a bill passed, that he claims will leave them no legal choice but to begin the whole process over again.

The Economic Collapse – by Michael
Did you know that the greatest period of economic growth in American history was during a time when there was absolutely no federal income tax? Between the end of the Civil War and 1913, there was an explosion of economic activity in the United States unlike anything ever seen before or since.
Unfortunately, a federal income tax was instituted in 1913, and this year it turned 100 years old. But there was no fanfare, was there? There was no celebration because the federal income tax is universally hated. Sadly, most Americans just assume that there is no other option to an income tax. Most Americans just assume that it has always been with us and that it will always be with us. Continue reading “100 Years Old And Still Killing Us: America Was Much Better Off Before The Income Tax”

Walking up to a department store’s fabric counter, the pretty girl said, “I would like to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?” “Only one kiss per yard,” replied the male clerk with a smirk. “That’s fine,” said the girl. “I’ll take ten yards.” With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk quickly measured out the cloth, wrapped it up, then teasingly held it out. Continue reading “One Kiss Per Yard”
Dear Comrades,
Young Socialists across the USSA are noticing that the Department of Education and Indoctrination’s new Communist International Core State Standards Initiative, known as ‘Comintern Core’ or ‘ComIn Core,’ is being implemented across all administrative districts.
As students gather for mandatory education programs, they are learning not only about reading and writing, but also about the value of community and the necessity of Socialism for the survival of mankind. Continue reading “ComIn Core Being Implemented in All USSA Schools”

NEW YORK — Sometimes the bait is a small amount of cash in a stray wallet. Or a credit card. Even a pack of cigarettes can do the trick.
Police in New York City leave the items unattended – on subway platforms, on park benches, in cars – and wait to see if someone grabs them. Continue reading “NYPD ‘Lucky Bag’ Tactic, Use To Fight Theft, Comes Under Criticism”

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) – South Florida is fighting a growing infestation of one of the world’s most destructive invasive species: the giant African land snail, which can grow as big as a rat and gnaw through stucco and plaster.
More than 1,000 of the mollusks are being caught each week in Miami-Dade and 117,000 in total since the first snail was spotted by a homeowner in September 2011, said Denise Feiber, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Earlier in the week I posted on the New York man who had his firearm confiscated, purportedly for being on anti-depressant drugs (which I noted at the time is a treatment for a fairly common malady; making the confiscation akin to seizing someone’s broken arm for the crime of wearing a cast). As the story broke and started gaining narrative steam, NY state law enforcement (Erie) suggested that the whole thing had been an honest record-keeping mistake and that the mental health aspect of the story as it had been reported wasn’t true.

It’s now being suggested that Google Glass, the computers worn over the eyes, can be used to catch rogue stock traders before they wander off the reservation and destroy the firms they work for.
Google Glass records everything the wearer sees and says. So if all brokers are ordered to have them, their every move can be observed by company spies. Wonderful, right? Continue reading “Google Glass: obedience to the Matrix”

In order for the US to permit citizens of a foreign country to enter the US without a visa, that country must agree to certain conditions. Chief among them is reciprocity: that country must allow Americans to enter without a visa as well. There are 37 countries which have been permitted entrance into America’s “visa waiver” program, and all of them – all 37 – reciprocate by allowing American citizens to enter their country without a visa.
