Four Oregon lobbyists in Salem have registered as working for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control advocacy group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

According to the Oregon Government Ethics Commission, the group spent a whopping $781.59 during the first quarter of this year (January through March). The second quarter reports won’t be available until July. Bloomberg’s group reportedly is spending money in capitals across the country, pushing gun control initiatives.   Continue reading “Meet Bloomberg’s anti-gun lobbyists in Oregon”

The world needs a public service campaign to discourage kids from eating or drinking things on dares. It almost never ends well, and sometimes it can have extremely dangerous or life-threatening results.

A teenager in Virginia recently drank an entire quart of soy sauce on a dare, and the excess of salt in his body put him in a coma and nearly killed him.   Continue reading “Soy Sauce Overdose Puts Teen In Coma”

In a Spanish-language interview Sunday with the network Univision, Sen. Marco Rubio, the leading Republican on the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform group, made his strongest statement yet that legalization of the nation’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants must happen before any new border security or internal enforcement measures are in place, and will in no way be conditional on any security requirements.   Continue reading “Marco Rubio: In immigration reform, legalization comes first — ‘It is not conditional’”

My life has crossed paths with President Obama on multiple occasions. According to Obama, we were Columbia University classmates, both Pre Law and Political Science majors in the Class of ’83. I also ran against Obama in 2008 on the Libertarian Party Presidential ticket. What are the odds?

But something about “the Obama at Columbia story” has always bothered me. Earlier in the week right here at The Blaze I wrote about having just returned from New York, where I attended my 30^th Columbia University reunion. I celebrated with my esteemed classmates. Everyone except Barack Obama. As usual- he wasn’t there. Not a trace. Not a video greeting. Not a letter. I could not find any classmates who knew him.   Continue reading “Ghost of Columbia – Part II: Legendary Columbia Professor Never Heard of Obama”

In the last week we have been following British and French’s desperate attempts to push for a military intervention in Syria. It is far from being a secret that both British and French government are dominated by the Jewish Lobby. In Britain it is the ultra Zionist CFI (Conservative Friends of Israel) – apparently 80% of  Britain’s conservative MPs are members of the pro Israeli Lobby. In France the situation is even more devastating, the entire political system is hijacked by the forceful CRIF.   Continue reading “Syria – Israel Is Losing the Battle”
