The numbers aren’t certain, but it looks like at least 90% of gun owners in New York State are ignoring the April 15 deadline to register under the state’s SAFE Act — and law enforcement officials are standing with them: While gun registration may be exceedingly popular south of the Tappan Zee Bridge, and in […]

What do you do if you’re a teenage boy, trapped on a bus, with a powerful teenage girl punching and kicking you? In this case, you stop her assault, incapacitate her with an excellent rear-naked choke, and then ask if she’s okay once she’s no longer a threat: An alleged bully was in for a […]

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) isn’t pulling any punches. On Thursday, the House Oversight Committee held former IRS agent Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress, only one day after the House Ways & Means Committee sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder asking him to prosecute Lerner.

The law isn’t as strict as many would prefer, I suspect, but it certainly will deter people from abusing the public trust: The Alabama Legislature has approved a bill to drug test welfare applicants who have had drug convictions within the last five years. The House of Representatives voted 73-27 for the bill Thursday. It […]

Under the Affordable Care Act, the American people were promised better care for less money. Conservative — and, especially, Tea Party — concerns about the unlikeliness of these goals actually happening were ignored. Now, California CBS affiliate KPIX-TV is reporting things aren’t so grand in one of the country’s most liberal states (via The Washington […]

This is a fantastic move by UPS. Kudos to them for standing up to the thugs in their own company: UPS is firing 250 Queens, N.Y., drivers for walking off the job during a 90-minute protest in: February. The company dismissed 20 of the workers after their shifts Monday and issued notices of termination to another […]

This needs to happen more often: Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, known for his outspoken defense of the right to life and the natural family, has signaled his support for denying Communion to Catholic politicians who publicly endorse activities gravely contrary to the moral law. The bishop wrote recently to a pro-life activist […]

This is sure to cause some more fireworks between Reps. Issa (R-CA) and Cummings (D-MD): A committee aide tells National Review Online the panel will “make an announcement on the contempt process for Lois Lerner sometime today,” and a GOP congressman confirms that committee chairman Darrell Issa: has indicated: the vote will take place “next week.” Lerner […]

It’s far too early to tell if there is a direct relationship, but it’s certainly possible: In July of 2013, Illinois became the last state in the union to enact a concealed carry law. In January of this year, the state began accepting applications for permits. This week, Chicago police announced that the city’s first […]

A Freudian slip? Probably: MAHER: Then why doesn’t your party come out against the Second Amendment? It’s the problem. ELLISON: I sure wish they would. I sure wish they would. MAHER: Really? Because I never hear anybody in the Democratic party say that. But they say, ‘I am also a strong supporter.’ ELLISON: You have […]

This can’t be good: Islamic law is to be effectively enshrined in the British legal system for the first time under guidelines for solicitors on drawing up “Sharia compliant” wills.

Remember, voter fraud doesn’t exist: Former Bolivar City Council member Brenda Woods has been convicted of three counts of procuring illegal voters in the city’s 2009 municipal elections. Three people testified, two of whom are related to Woods, that they had felony convictions on their records in May of 2009 when voted. At the time, […]

It appears the two women, who were in a relationship, were somehow allowed to adopt two of the three children they were abusing: Eraca Dwan Craig, 31, and Christian Jessica Deana, 44, were both arrested at the scene on suspicion of felony child cruelty, false imprisonment and other charges. The women, who are domestic partners, […]

Sometimes, I wish I could just go into the woods, build myself a little house, and just live a peaceful, quiet, contemplative life, perhaps with some farming. Or at least stop reading the news, and be willfully ignorant of what goes on in the world. After reading this article, I’m feeling the urge: A man […]

The headline provides all the information any reader needs about this story — with the exception of the fact that local government is actually listening to this guy’s complaints, and was ordered to give him a small amount of money — but I suppose John wants a blog post longer than one sentence.   The […]

When I first read this article, I actually had sympathy for the government’s position. In short, they argue that the tree fort in question could collapse on a public sidewalk, endangering the public, and the city would be liable.   At first glance, this is potentially very reasonable. However, if you follow the link above, […]

In the middle of last week, a gun store owner in California was standing up against ATF allegations he said had no basis in reality. He even got a judge to provide an injunction, protecting him and his business from the federal government’s claims.   Allegedly, the ATF ignored the injunction, breaking into his business […]

So there’s this guy. He build a pond on his property. And now the EPA is trying to nab him for $75,000 per day in fines. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claims Johnson violated the Clean Water Act by “building a dam on a creek without a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers,” according […]

Seriously. He does: The earthquake that rocked L’Aquila Italy in 2009 provides an interesting case study of botched communication. This natural disaster left more than 300 people dead and nearly 66,000 people homeless.

It looks like Louisiana and the federal government need some food stamp reform: A south Louisiana lingerie store has posted on its front door to indicate it accepts most credit cards, including the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. Kiss My Lingerie, in Gonzales, sells adult specialty items. The store moved into the Magnolia Shopping Center […]

Last week, it came out that Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), one of the most bombastic Democrats in Congress, was accused of physical and emotional abuse by his wife. The two, who have been separated for several months, also had a physical altercation in early March that led to Grayson’s wife claiming he assaulted her. However, […]

Having a famous — or infamous — father has its benefits and detractions, I imagine. Unfortunately for Jeremiah Wright’s daughter, it’s more the latter in a recent crime spree: Jeri Wright was found guilty of a: fraud scheme that siphoned thousands of taxpayer dollars intended for a not-for-profit work and education program known as We Are […]

Huffington Post is in quite a snit over the continued success of the law Texas Senator Wendy Davis failed to stop with her mob rule/filibuster combination. Abortion clinic after abortion clinic is shutting down because of it: Two abortion clinics on Thursday join the growing list of Texas providers shutting down because of restrictions passed […]

For years, Tea Party rallies were bedeviled by Lyndon LaRouche supporters carrying signs with extreme language and controversial images. The mainstream media often said the signs were signals of extremism among Tea Party activists, even though LaRouche is a cultist lefty. One of those fans has made it to the runoff stage of the Democratic […]

For young people, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is an unmitigated disaster. Higher costs, worse care…the nightmare goes on.

Here’s something to amuse you on a largely slow news weekend — CNN had a roundtable discussion asking if Putin is “bullying” President Obama. From FrontPageMag: Yes, this is officially where we are now. Soft power, smart power, diplomacy. All of it has come down to one of the propaganda newscasts for a world leader […]
