As Expected, Obama Begins New Year With Executive Actions: New ‘Clarifications’ Issued On Background Checks For Gun Purchases
By Joseph R. Carducci on January 4, 2014 

 

As you are well aware, it is very likely that 2014 will be the year of the executive action, at least as far as President Obama is concerned. He seems to feel stymied by the lack of movement in Congress over a number of issues and is now desperate enough to take matters into his own hands.

The first round began on Friday when our community organizer in chief posted two executive actions related to background checks for gun purchases on WhiteHouse.gov. According to the HHS and the Department of Justice, this will make it easier for states to submit mental health information to the federal background check system (NICS). Basically, these are ‘clarification’ actions to better define who is prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law due to mental health reasons           READ MORE

Gun myths destroyed in five minutes… from ABC’s 20/20?

This post-Heller segment from John Stossel in 2008 isn’t new, but is still one of the best defenses of the Second Amendment we’ve ever come across. It seems very appropriate to bring up today as the absurd anti-liberty politicians and police in Washington, D.C.,  force citizens to re-register their guns for the first time in American history.

The Year of the Dud

Victor Davis Hanson | Jan 02, 2014

 

Lots of things that should have happened in 2013 did not.
We were supposed to have long ago reached "peak oil" and an age of always-higher gas prices. Wind and solar power -- and a reduced lifestyle -- were our dismal future.
But someone or something did not cooperate with gloomy government predictions. After all the failed subsidized green companies, the postponement of the Keystone Pipeline, the radical restrictions of new gas and oil leasing on federal lands, and the promises for radical climate-change legislation curtailing carbon energy use, the United States nevertheless seems awash in old energy.
Gas prices have been going down. Oil and natural gas production is going up. America may soon be the largest coal exporter in the world. There is little worry over any more Middle East embargoes and cutoffs of oil.
Energy-intensive industries talk of relocating from Asia and Europe to a new America of cheaper electricity. The more the Obama administration wanted a landscape of alternative energy, the more it seemed traditional oil and natural gas gushed out of American soil.
Obamacare may take its place among Sasquatch, crop circles and the Loch Ness monster as one of the great hoaxes of all time.      View Full Article

Detroit police chief: Want crime to drop? Start carrying

posted at 11:31 am on January 3, 2014 by Ed Morrisse   James Craig just took over the office of police chief last summer, but he’s already making waves in Detroit. A reorganization of the police force in the bankrupt metropolis has resulted in a higher clearance rate in murder cases, and the murder rate dropped almost 14% in 2013 from its two-decade high in 2012. However, Craig has some advice for his fellow citizens in Motor City if they really want a drop in crime — arm yourselves:

If more citizens were armed, criminals would think twice about attacking them, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said Thursday.

Urban police chiefs are typically in favor of gun control or reluctant to discuss the issue, but Craig on Thursday was candid about how he’s changed his mind.

“When we look at the good community members who have concealed weapons permits, the likelihood they’ll shoot is based on a lack of confidence in this Police Department,” Craig said at a press conference at police headquarters, adding that he thinks more Detroit citizens feel safer, thanks in part to a 7 percent drop in violent crime in 2013.FULL STORY

Because animals exist.

By Drew DiSabatino - January 2, 2014

                       

In what should come as no surprise to anyone, picking furniture up off the street and putting it in your home without thorough inspection is a bad idea.

After owning the couch for exactly one weekend, Holly Wright and her boyfriend were shocked to see the snake slithering out of the couch (which is exactly how you should feel when a large reptile unexpectedly emerges from a fixture in your house.)

     
     lesson to be learned..... What that is, we're not exactly sure. Perhaps make sure and check street furniture for snakes ? Or it could be keep snake food on hand for dying reptiles you didn't know you owned? Maybe just stop picking up mystery furniture off the street?
     While it's nice that this story didn't end with any poisonous snake bites or a nest of eggs hatching and wreaking havoc [a la snakes on a plane] there's still an important lesson to be learned.
     It's probably safe to say the couch was disposed of after the incident, so street-scouring residents of Grand Rapids be careful, and to everyone else, still be careful, snakes are everywhere.

US snowpack in December is largest in a decade.......HEY, WARMISTS...WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOUR "GLOBAL WARMING " ?

Earlier this week, snow covered more than half of the continental United States, the highest this measure has reached for this date in a decade, according to government scientists. As of Dec. 15, snow covered 53 percent of the lower 48, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported. That's a significantly higher portion than in recent years. In 2006, for example, snow covered just 12 percent of the lower 48 states on the same date, according to Climate Central, a climate news website.

Wal-Mart recalls 'Five Spice' donkey meat in China after tests reveal fox

By Adam Jourdan, Reuters

SHANGHAI, China -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc has recalled donkey meat sold at some outlets in China after tests showed the product contained the DNA of other animals.
Wal-Mart will reimburse customers who bought the tainted "Five Spice" donkey meat and is helping authorities in eastern Shandong province investigate its Chinese supplier, the firm said late on Wednesday on China's Twitter-like Weibo. The Shandong Food and Drug Administration earlier said the product contained fox meat.

Kim Jong Un's executed uncle was eaten alive by 120 hungry dogs: report

By Eric Baculinao and Alexander Smith, NBC News Rodong Sinmun / Yonhap via Reuters, file

Kim Jone Un's uncle Jang Song Thaek is dragged into court by uniformed personnel prior to last month's execution.

 

BEIJING -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's powerful uncle was stripped naked, thrown into a cage, and eaten alive by a pack of ravenous dogs, according to a newspaper with close ties to China's ruling Communist Party.

The man who was believed to be in charge of training his young nephew to take over was executed as a traitor, indicating a shake-up in Kim Jong Un's regime. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.

Jang Song Thaek, who had been considered Kim's second-in-command, was executed last month after being found guilty of "attempting to overthrow the state," North Korea’s state-run news agency reported.

"Despicable human scum...worse than a dog" is how North Korean state media described the once-powerful uncle of leader Kim Jong-un. Jang Song Thaek was executed after admitting trying to "overthrow the state".

Duck Dynasty Family Partners With Mossberg to Launch Gun Collection

 Katie Pavlich | Jan 02, 2014        

The family starring in the hit A&E television show Duck Dynasty has partnered with gun company Mossberg to launch their own collection of shotguns, semi-automatic rifles and a semi-automatic pistol. According to CNN Money and Mossberg, the Robertson family will work on and sell the collection through their Duck Commander brand, which is family owned and separate from "Duck Dynasty" and the A&E network.

Phil Robertson and his sons are featured prominently in four video ads for the new guns on Mossberg's web site. Phil narrates one of the spots saying, "Do you know what makes me happy ladies and gentlemen? To blow a mallard drake's head smooth off."

And the Dopes Took Charge at Midnight

   

 John Ransom | Jan 02, 2014         

 

At the stroke of midnight, in different time zones, two dopes made history in 2014.
The first dope made history in New York City, when a politician left of Leon Trotsky was elected mayor of New York.
Yes, here in the United States.
His first order of business?
Get rid of horse carriages.
Yes. He's doing it because a liberal will do lots of things they can do, once given the power to, good idea or not.
In his bid to bring poor people and rich people closer together, he’s getting rid of horse carriages.
“We are going to quickly and aggressively move to make horse carriages no longer a part of the landscape in New York City,” Mr. de Blasio said at a news conference as reported by the New York Times. “They are not humane.”
Um, no…they’re equine.
Glad he can tell the difference between a horse’s ashhhh…ah, forget it.                                                                    
The second dope made history in 2014, at the stroke of midnight Mile High style-- that is mountain time-- when eight dope stores in the Denver area opened. They each can legally sell up to one ounce of marijuana per day to Colorado residents and lesser amounts to those from out of state thanks to 2012’s referendum or proposition or direct democratic vote that legalizes such sales.
Like de Blasio, Colorado can’t tell a horse’s ashhh…ah, forget it.

Police: Man Stole Brains, Sold Them on eBay

==================================================
Man arrested for stealing brain tissue from Indianapolis museum

updated 1/2/2014 3:20:48 PM ET 2014-01-02T20:20:48

Police arrested a man for allegedly stealing brain samples from an Indianapolis museum.

Investigators say 21-year-old David Charles broke into the Indiana Medical History Museum several times over the past year and stole jars of preserved human tissue. Police found Charles after learning about the tissues from a California man who told them he bought six jars of tissue on eBay for $600.
Police tracked Charles through Austin Rector, who had sold the jars to the man in California. After learning Charles had broken into the museum again early in the morning of December 15, police had Rector arrange to buy more jars of tissue from Charles.
Charles was arrested in the parking lot of a south Indianapolis restaurant after the purchase took place.
He is facing charges of burglary, theft and other charges related to apparent marijuana found in the suspect vehicle. Joshua Milan, 19, who drove Charles to the arranged sale, was preliminarily charged with theft and resisting law enforcement.

obamacare glitches: Gov't contract for troubled site has swelled; GOP targets Sebelius

===============================================

The government contract for the company that built the glitch-prone website for Obamacare has ballooned to three times its original cost, and some Republicans are demanding the resignation of the cabinet secretary who oversees it.

Since its launch, on Oct. 1, the site has been plagued by crashes as Americans to try log on and enroll for health insurance. The Obama administration has conceded that the launch has been rockier than it had hoped.
The U.S. arm of a Canadian company, CGI, had the biggest role of the many contractors that worked on the rollout. It won the contract in October 2011. At the time, it had an estimated cost of up to $94 million. By May of this year, that cost ceiling had swelled to $292 million.

WRITTEN BY Ann Coulter | Dec 31, 2013 ....It's really all about FREE SPEECH

The Anus Monologues

Ann Coulter | Dec 31, 2013

        

Unable to comment on the "Duck Dynasty" controversy last week due to my hectic Kwanzaa schedule, I am able to sweep in at the end and comment on the commentary.

Anyone who utters the mind-numbingly obvious point that A&E's suspension of "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson doesn't involve the First Amendment because a TV network is not the government, should be prohibited from ever talking in public again. You can bore your few remaining friends with laborious statements of the obvious, but stop wasting everyone else's time.

We know A&E is not the government. It may shock your tiny little pea brains, but free speech existed even before we had a Constitution. Free speech is generally considered a desirable goal even apart from its inclusion in the nation's founding document.

ST. LOUIS — A small Missouri brewery has responded to a cease and desist letter from Starbucks  the coffee chain giant a check to cover what it calls the profit from use of the word "Frappicino"   by sending  — a check for $6.

In his sarcastic response letter, Exit 6 owner Jeff Britton also wrote that the brewery "never thought that our beer drinking customers would have thought that the alcoholic beverage coming out of the tap would have actually been coffee from one of the many, many, many stores located a few blocks away." 
Exit 6 posted the letter on its Facebook site and responded with a letter to Kramer and "Mr. Bucks."................. The letter said Exit 6 would no longer use the term "Frappicino" and would instead refer to its beer as the "F Word."

Building explodes in downtown Minneapolis

A TERRORIST PLAN GONE WRONG  ???   WHO KNOWS ?

Thirteen people were injured — six of them critically — in a building explosion in Minneapolis that sent
flames shooting 20 feet into the air Wednesday morning, authorities said.
The ferocity of the blaze pushed back firefighters, who had to battle the flames from the outside with hoses. Not everyone was accounted for, officials said.
The three-story building on Cedar Ave. South housed
a  mosque, a halal market and 10 apartments. Rescuers rushed there after a blast and fire were reported at 8:16 a.m.
