House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she opposes a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of lawmakers’ jobs.
“I don’t think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. “I think it’s necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded.” Continue reading “Pelosi: Congressional pay cut undermines dignity of the job”

Washington, D.C. — More than a dozen Members of Congress co-introduced legislation today that would reclassify marijuana for medical use and provide federal defendants the right to use state law compliance as evidence in medical marijuana trials, a right they’re currently denied.

It has been ten years since Susan Mokdad was MURDER by her captors at Coleman Prison on Valentine’s Day 2003 shortly before she was to be released. Susan and her father, Emilio Ippolito, founded Pro Se Litigant of Tampa Bay back in 1989, a group of about thirty concerned people, who had been shafted by government bureaucrats. The group became Pro Se Litigant of Florida in 1991, growing to over three hundred members. In 1993, they started Pro Se Litigant of America, which grew in membership to over 10,000 members throughout the Country, having member in every state of the Union.
In 1994, Susan and Emilio founded the Common Law Courts. The bureaucRats hated this movement even greater than they hated the Pro Se Litigants. Several black robed devils met in March of 1995, to discuss how to trash court motions filed by members of the Pro Se Litigants. That meeting resulted in a handbook of judges, which instructs judges on how to trash Pro Se Litigant filings.

There’s been a lotta talk about load weights lately (pic stolen from CA @ WRSA by the way). Years back there was a soldier loads study done in Afghanistan by the folks at the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL). For the unaware the CALL guys try and capture tips and info that will benefit the military as a whole. I dug a copy I had out and pulled the weight list they came up with and cleaned a lot of the stuff that you wouldn’t normally carry (anyone out there got a CLU or MWTS?). Anyway I’m putting this up for posterity and maybe you’ll find it useful. Continue reading “A Little Weight List”

No surprise here. One of the many reasons why I left Commiefornia as soon as I was able.
The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department is known in gun-rights circles for being stingy with concealed-weapons permits. Sheriff Lee Baca has total discretion over who is allowed to get a permit, and he hasn’t given out many.
As of May 2012, only 341 people had been granted them, according to sheriff’s records. Compare that with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, which had 1,754 permit holders in 2011, despite a population of just 2 million people to L.A.’s 10 million. The Kern County Sheriff granted even more, with 3,564 permit holders in a population of 800,000 people. Continue reading “Sheriff Lee Baca and the Gun-Gift Connection”

President Barack Obama is, arguably, the best gun salesman ever. Over 65 million guns have been purchased since the President took office in 2009. FBI background check statistics indicate that, over the last twelve months, Americans purchased a new gun every 1.5 seconds, a figure which suggests there is much more to the recent panic buying than people just stocking up to go hunting or sports shooting.
The following guns and ammo industry report indicates that every major gun and ammunition manufacturer in the country is running at 100% capacity, with many so far behind that they’ve stopped taking new orders altogether.

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced S. 54 on January 22, 2013. The bill, titled Stop Illegal Trafficking in Firearms Act of 2013, is a cleverly disguised gun grab. How so? According to Gun Owners of America (GOA) the bill “could end gifts and raffles of firearms, and possibly ‘necessitate’ gun licensure across the country.”
GOA’s Michael Hammond writes, Continue reading “Senate Gun Grab Bill Could Be More Disastrous Than Feinstein Bill”
