Greta Van Susteren had Karl Rove on her show, Friday night, to discuss the Holder/AP/Fox News scandal in the wake of reports that Eric Holder approved the search warrant for James Rosen’s private emails.
Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on a controversial search warrant that identified Fox News reporter James Rosen as a “possible co-conspirator” in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized seizure of his private emails, a law enforcement official told NBC News on Thursday.
Rove was probably chomping at the bit to get on the show, knowing what Holder recently testified before Congress:
“First of all you’ve got a long way to go to try to prosecute the press for publication of material. This has not fared well in American history… In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material.This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy.“
That was a direct lie. Did Holder take an oath? Probably not, weasel that he is.
The “conventional wisdom” has been that Eric Holder’s days are numbered, but the Regime would wait until the scandals died down before Holder would be asked to step down (so he could leave with his head high.) But methinks this thing is going to happen sooner rather than later. The a spot under the bus with Holder’s name on it waiting for him.
UPDATE:
Confirmed, he did take an oath. Holder has a perjury problem.
@edmorrissey @guypbenson The committee specifically said it was suspending the “no oath” courtesy.

“Here’s a guy who says that the IRS openly discriminated against groups on the basis of their politics, but the action was not a political action.

PJ Media: TRIFECTA: IRS, AP, Fox & Benghazi Scandals Prove the Extreme Corruption of the Obama Administration:
Trifecta told you so. The AP, Fox News, IRS, Fast & Furious and Benghazi scandals prove that the Obama Administration has brought Chicago style politics to the nation’s capital. If the culpable parties in the Obama Administration escape prosecution, will the intimidation of President Obama’s enemies continue unabated?

Mediaite: Mark Levin Call Obama A LIAR Says He Knew About IRS Scandal:
There’s a lot of interesting material here, but the most novel information is from Schoen, who asserts that National Security Advisor Tom Donilon has been leaking to the press in a quid pro quo to keep his own name out of the discussion. If that’s true, and Schoen seems positive that it is, calling him a “leaker par excellence,” the administration must be aware of it. So, when we compile a list of key people that the administration is evidently trying to protect from scruitiny, badly in some cases, we have to include Donilon with Hillary and with Sarah Hall Ingram, the last in the IRS scandal. Hillary, as we know, was never interviewed in the Mullen-Pickering report, and Issa has now subpoenaed both Mullen and Pickering to appear before his committee and explain the alleged deficiencies of their report. In his testimony before Issa’s committee, Mark Thompson stressed that it was very unusual from his perspective that the Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST) should not have been activated under the circumstances (whether or not they could have reached Benghazi quickly enough to save anyone), and that in essence they were cut out of the decision-making loop. This week we have learned that their division, established under Bush the Younger, had been demoted de facto under the Obama administration. The Counterterrorism Security Group (CSG), was never convened on the evening of 9-11-12, although it is supposed to play a central coordinating role under exactly the circumstances presented by the Benghazi attacks. Whether the recalcitrance was the result of a general administration disdain for Bush-era policies or the usual half-assed hubris, or both, we don’t yet know.
The segment begins with an excellent discussion about the IRS hearing, yesterday. And towards the end Shoen made a very savvy point about how the Regime is handling all the scandals, calling it “the big lie technique.”
“There is not a direct nexus between what they’re saying, and what’s coming out, he said.” Exactly what I’ve been saying. And he ended on this note – “the Obama agenda effectively is dead.” Exactly what I said in the car coming back from BlogCon to Duane Lester and Thomas LaDuke. And they weren’t sure they agreed.
No, Obama and his grotesque Regime have finally gotten a comeuppance. Now that people have finally figured out how deceitful and corrupt they are, they will not be trusted on ANYTHING. They cannot, must not be allowed to continue to run roughshod over the Constitution.
Republicans in the House and Senate need to drop any and all bipartisan cooperation with the Regime’s agenda, immediately. (I’m looking at you Marco Rubio and John Boehner.) Holder’s on the way out. Obama is finished.
How big of a wake-up call are the Obama scandals, especially the ones surrounding the seizing of phone records from the Associated Press and the IRS’s targeting of conservatives? So big that two of the media’s most shameful and shameless gun control advocates — Joe Scarborough and Piers Morgan — have finally conceded that arguments made by pro-Second Amendment activists against the expanding of background checks might not be so ridiculous.
The jig is up – it’s time to start undoing the damage.

84% of all Colorado sheriffs have filed a lawsuit against the new gun law that passed earlier this Spring in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting. The sheriffs are hoping to have the new restrictions invalidated because they believe they violate the Second Amendment.
The Colorado Legislature passed two laws that are set to take effect July 1 which limit the size of the of ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and expand background checks to private and online firearm sales.
Sheriffs from 54 of the state’s 64 counties are involved in the lawsuit because they believe it’s their duty to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
Goth Andrew De Leon Amazes The Judges With His Voice:
Conservative radio talker Mark Levin appears to have touched off the investigation into Internal Revenue Service targeting of conservative political groups back in March 2012.
In a letter last year on behalf of the Landmark Legal Foundation, an organization he heads, Levin requested an investigation into what he called “misconduct.”
Along with targeting tea-party groups, the IRS may also have given extra-special attention to the tax-exempt status of some Jewish groups for political reason.
The passionately pro-Israel organization Z STREET filed a lawsuit against the IRS, claiming it had been told by an IRS agent that because the organization was “connected to Israel,” its application for tax-exempt status would receive additional scrutiny. This admission was made in response to a query about the lengthy reveiw of Z STREET’s tax exempt status application.
In addition, the IRS agent told a Z STREET representative that the applications of some of those Israel-related organizations have been assigned to “a special unit in the D.C. office to determine whether the organization’s activities contradict the Administration’s public policies.”
Barack Obama owes his presidency in no small part to the power of rhetoric. It’s too bad he doesn’t appreciate the damage that loose talk can do to America’s tax system, even as exploding federal deficits make revenues more important than ever.
At his Arizona State University commencement speech last Wednesday, Mr. Obama noted that ASU had refused to grant him an honorary degree, citing his lack of experience, and the controversy this had caused. He then demonstrated ASU’s point by remarking, “I really thought this was much ado about nothing, but I do think we all learned an important lesson. I learned never again to pick another team over the Sun Devils in my NCAA brackets. . . . President [Michael] Crowe and the Board of Regents will soon learn all about being audited by the IRS.”
Just a joke about the power of the presidency. Made by Jay Leno it might have been funny. But as told by Mr. Obama, the actual president of the United States, it’s hard to see the humor. Surely he’s aware that other presidents, most notably Richard Nixon, have abused the power of the Internal Revenue Service to harass their political opponents. But that abuse generated a powerful backlash and with good reason. Should the IRS come to be seen as just a bunch of enforcers for whoever is in political power, the result would be an enormous loss of legitimacy for the tax system.
The House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight has thrown down an investigative gauntlet to the Internal Revenue Service, demanding that the agency hand over by next Wednesday every communication in its records that includes the words “tea party,” “patriot” or “conservative.”
The committee is also demanding of the IRS that by next Wednesday it provide the committee with the names and titles of all individuals who were involved in targeting conservative non-profit groups for more intensive review of their applications for non-profit status.
“The IRS cannot target or intimidate any individual or organization based on their political beliefs,” Cantor said on Friday. “The House will investigate this matter.”

The brother of a top Obama administration official is also the president of CBS News, and the network may be days away from dropping one of its top investigative reporters for covering the administration’s scandals too aggressively.
CBS News executives have reportedly expressed frustration with their own reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, who has steadily covered the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack in Libya since late last year.
“Network sources” told Politico Wednesday that CBS executives feel Attkisson’s Benghazi coverage is bordering on advocacy, and Attkisson “can’t get some of her stories on the air.”
Attkisson, who is in talks to leave the network before her contract expires, has been attempting to figure out who changed the Benghazi talking points for more than five months.

2013 NRA Annual Meetings: Rick Perry:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry addresses the crowd at the NRA-ILA Leadership Forum, an event of the 2013 NRA Annual Meetings in Houston, Texas. Perry argues that gun control sells the false premise that it is solving a problem, when all it does is make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves.
“The media and the political elites, they denigrate us and they cringe at the sight of long lines at gun shows around this country. They mock Americans buying firearms at a record pace…they don’t get it because they don’t get America,” LaPierre said.
After President Barack Obama said the NRA “willfully lied” to the American people about defeated gun legislation last month, LaPierre noted how Obama had tried to reassure gun owners during his re-election campaign.
“Liars? Really?” LaPierre said. “This from a man who spent his entire re-election campaign saying he supported our Second Amendment rights and would never try to take anyone’s gun away. And he calls us liars?”

SEAL Chris Kyle’s wife Taya Emotional Speech at NRA-ILA Leadership Forum:
Before Taya Kyle, the wife of slain Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, even said a word, the crowd at the National Rifle Association Leadership Forum was on their feet giving her the longest standing ovation of the day. Just before she took the stage, a video honoring Kyle was shown at the Houston event.
“I challenge anyone to tell me there isn’t evil in this world,” Kyle said, her voice drenched in emotion. “From the days of Cain and Abel, we know all too well there will always be evil. But that evil shouldn’t take away our freedoms. In fact, the only way to defeat evil is by taking advantage of our freedoms.
Kyle went on to talk about the side of her husband that people never knew.
“First, promise me that you won’t think of Chris solely as a hero. He wouldn’t want that. Instead, I ask you to see him the way he would’ve wanted you to see him. As just an everyday boy who did his best at what he loved, growing into an everyday man, loving his God, loving his country…and loving his family,” she said, wiping a tear from her eye as the audience interrupted her with applause.

Now from a state that is quickly becoming a basket case via Revealing Politics: (NSFW) Sen. Owen Hill finds the right words:
Colorado Senator Owen Hill found the best words to describe a complete overhaul of Colorado’s election scheme. If signed into law, the bill would allow for the same lax standards of registration and voting as is currently written into CO law but extended to election day. For registration it’s merely the last 4 digits of a Social Security number if the registrant claims they don’t have a Colorado ID. For casting a ballot the standard is as low as an unspecified utility bill, a pay stub, or a bank statement. In theory a person could walk into a vote center give any four unverifiable digits, a “utility” bill and cast a ballot,

Bill Whittle, PJTV /Afterburner: Enemies of the State:
When the sequester first took effect, the Democrats who run Washington said they would only replace it with tax hikes – not smarter spending cuts. Then, earlier this week, as thousands of Americans waited on the runway because of the FAA’s manufactured flight delay crisis, Harry Reid dropped legislation to replace the sequester with phony savings – not actual spending reductions. But today, Democrats joined Republicans to adopt our targeted “cut this, not that” approach to cut wasteful spending.
The Obama administration called Hillary Clinton’s decision to sign an April 2012 cable authorizing the reduction of security for American diplomatic missions in Libya “standard protocol.” “It is standard protocol that cables originating from the department in Washington go out under the authority of the current secretary of state with their signature, i.e. their name, typed at the bottom,” White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters. “In this way, this secretary, Secretary Clinton and others before her, sign hundreds of thousands of cables during their tenure,” he explained, maintaining that Clinton did not mislead Congress when she testified that the cable in question was not brought to her attention.
Carney was challenged about the findings contained in a 46-page report on the attack in Benghazi, Libya released yesterday by five House committee chairman.
HBO’s Bill Maher interrupted his show to warn a politically correct guest about the dangers of radical Islam. Are liberals like Bill Maher finally realizing that radical Islam is a threat to U.S. security, or is the liberal comedian having a unique awakening? Find out what Trifecta thinks.
Glenn Beck discusses Saudi / Islam terrorism and American leaders’ lackluster attempts to call it what it is. He tells of what armed Islamists did in Beslan Russia, 2004, when they held over 1,100 people captive in a school (mostly children) for 3 days and killed more than 330 of them. Horrifically sad.
Russia is very familiar with Islamic extremists. Russia warned the United States FBI and CIA about Mr. Tsarnaev in 2011 (who was involved in the Boston Bombing in 2012), informing them that he was a follower of radical Islam. The FBI opened an investigation on Tsarnaev and closed it shortly after interviewing his relatives and finding “no evidence he was tied to terror groups.” They failed to discover his online reading interest of learning about building explosive devices from “Inspire”, the online English magazine of the Qaeda affiliate in Yemen.
Justice Department officials confirmed to multiple news outlets Friday night that Tsarnaev did not receive a Miranda warning and instead will be questioned by a special interrogation team in the hope that he could give up more information, such as whether he and his brother acted alone or if they received training or direction from anyone abroad.
But Aitan Goelman, who served as a Justice Department attorney for nine years and prosecuted the Oklahoma City bombing case, said Saturday that he thinks the government is taking a risk in invoking the exception that says police do not need to give Tsarnaev the well-known warning and can still introduce any statements he makes in court — because it might not hold up.
“The government is taking a chance in interviewing the suspect without reading his Miranda rights,” Goelman said on Fox News.

On Tuesday, Rep. King told radio host, Steve Malzberg, that based on what he’d heard from people he’d been talking to, he wasn’t sure the Saudi National had really been ruled out as a suspect. This was after it had been widely reported that the Saudi was no longer a person of interest.

ICE union leader, Chris Crane was on Greta Van Susteren, last night to voice his concerns about the immigration bill that has been crafted behind closed doors without the input of the very people who should be involved – immigration law enforcement. At the 11th hour, with a hearing scheduled for next week, Marco Rubio finally called and set up a phone call to get the ICE union’s input, which only gives them the weekend to go over the entire thing.
“How are we going to have time to go through this 1,500 pages of legislation and have an impact?” he asked.
He also wondered, “why do we have the AFL-CIO and the Chamber of Commerce, basically big unions and big business that really don’t have the experience of insight that we have – why are they behind closed doors in these secret meetings, having a part in this legislation, and law enforcement doesn’t?”
Greta suggested that Rubio’s move might have been a cynical ploy to show that he had reached out to ICE before his appearances on the Sunday talk shows he’s scheduled to appear on, tomorrow. Not cool, if true.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents’ union president Chris Crane called on Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio to abandon the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” in the U.S. Senate pushing immigration reform on Friday in a statement obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.
“Senator Rubio was asked during a recent interview that ‘if you don’t get enforcement first, or securing the borders first, is that a deal killer for you?,’” Crane said. “And he replied ‘Absolutely…Because we will be right back here again.’ But the outline from the Gang of 8 offers legalization, or amnesty, before enforcement is accomplished. Senator Schumer admitted as much: ‘we’ve come to a basic agreement, which is that first, people will be legalized…Then, we will make sure the border is secure.’ I would then respectfully call on Senator Rubio to follow through on his commitment to the American people — and his pledge to accomplish enforcement before legalization – and to leave the Gang of 8.”
Rubio still has an opportunity to leave the group if he wants. The Washington Post reported earlier this month, Rubio “can just say Democrats rushed it, or didn’t allow enough amendments.”
Chris Crane, president of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, which represents ICE agents and which is part of the AFL-CIO, said he was worried about threats of “union retribution” against lawmakers who vote against legalization this year.
His criticism underscores a fascinating split within the labor community as Congress prepares to debate immigration. Most labor unions back the push to grant legal status and citizenship rights to illegal immigrants, but the unions representing immigration law enforcement are generally opposed to that policy.
Mr. Crane has been particularly outspoken in challenging the leadership of AFL-CIO, the umbrella union that has been part of the negotiations to try to write a bill. While AFL-CIO has been involved, Mr. Crane charges that his requests to be part of talks have been rebuffed by both the White House and the so-called Gang of Eight senators that is writing a bill.
While specifics are scarce, it’s a safe bet that the panel won’t be focused on stopping voter fraud, or making sure that members of the military are not disenfranchised. No. It’s focus will be about making voting easier. What can we do about long lines? Should we extend early voting even longer?

The Obama administration and its controversial Department of Homeland Security are under fire for sending what is being described as a “chilling” message to U.S. Border Patrol agents demanding “obedience,” Liberty News Network (LNN) national correspondent and law-enforcement advocate Andy Ramirez revealed in an exclusive video report (see below) calling for Congress to investigate. The word “obedience” was defined on the official TV screens as: “quickly and cheerfully carrying out the direction of those who are responsible for me.”
Reliable sources inside the agency confirmed to Ramirez, who also serves as president of the Law Enforcement Officers Advocates Council (LEOAC), that the controversial message demanding “obedience” was displayed for agents on TV monitors in the San Diego and Tucson sectors last week. In his explosive video for LNN exposing the scheme, Ramirez also provided a picture of the “propaganda” graphic that he obtained from a source within Customs and Border Protection (CBP) who requested anonymity.
Andy Ramirezdiscussed the propaganda that surfaced last week at Tucson and San Diego’s Border Patrol Sectors for Liberty News Network:
When the bank foreclosed on the Laney Supermarket grocery store, managers were left with thousands of pounds of food and nowhere to put it. So, they moved non-perishable items to the parking lot for those who might need it. As news of the give-away spread throughout the neighborhood, a crowd numbering in the hundreds quickly swooped in. But the goods never made it into the hands of people who desperately needed, as local police barricaded the stockpile of food. They called in a disposal company and tossed every bit of it into the trash, angering many of those who had hoped they could take some of the food home.

Rome Reports: Bosch´s ´Seven Capital Sins´ showcased in Rome for the first time:
Throughout the course of the budget debate, Democratic Senators have repeatedly suggested their budget contains a “balanced approach,” a rhetorical description that has no accounting value. (Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) went even further last night and repeatedly said his party’s plan called for “balancing the budget.”)
But as Sen. Sessions pointed out this morning, “They know they don’t have a balanced budget. They won’t tell the American people they don’t have one. They just use the word. But it’s not in their document. Where and when do we hold people accountable in this United States Senate for an accurate [description] of legislation? It’s wrong.”
To view for yourself the budget tables with the Democrats’ own numbers (in other words, before one even begins to strip out all the gimmicks and accounting tricks), please click here: http://1.usa.gov/YwdsbM. Note that cumulative deficits will amount to $5.198 trillion, and the nation’s gross debt will climb to $24.365 trillion by 2023.
“They know they don’t have a balanced budget. They won’t tell the people they don’t have one….they just use the word!” Sessions exclaimed. Where and when do we hold people accountable in this US Senate for an accurate statement of legislation?! It’s wrong! So we have counted, so far (this is pretty incredible) they’ve used the word balance 191 times! Does that reflect a guilty conscience, or something? That we want people to think we have a balanced budget, we think we have a plan to get at a balanced budget? Oh! We have a balanced approach…what does that mean? It means ZERO. The American people need to know, this plan has no vision for America. “
gopweeklyaddress: 3/23/13 – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) Delivers Weekly GOP Address On The 1st Democrat Budget In 4 Years:
For the first time in four years, Senate Democrats have produced a budget, yet unfortunately their spending blueprint grows the government, not the economy, according to U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) in the Weekly Republican Address. By contrast, the budget Republicans passed in the House of Representatives this week reduces spending and debt and balances in 10 years. “Budgets are economic documents, but they’re much more than that. Budgets reflect the moral choices we make as a nation and shape the kind of society we will build for the future,” Lee says. “We want dollars and decisions in your hands and not in the hands of bureaucrats. We know that if you can keep more of your hard-earned money, you’ll use it to help your community, to save for your child’s college tuition, and to deploy it in ways that will create jobs and grow your local economy.” The Senate Democratic budget, by contrast, raises taxes, increases spending and debt and never balances. “They think you don’t send enough of your money to Washington,” Lee says.

The argument is between a woman with a “Lesbian Avenger” t-shirt (these people really seem to groove on novelty sexual politics t-shirts), who only likes women and probably doesn’t like dudes, and a “trans-woman,” which some people might call a “dude,” who’s arguing she’s a woman. This does not go over well with the pro-woman feminist lesbian.
And before anyone says I’m bigoted against the transgendered, hey, I’m just quoting the lesbian on this point.
An incredible twist comes when a gay guy says he’s a lesbian at 6:20 or so. That’s where it kicks up to an Inception type level.
And by the way, if you did get all the way through the video, like I did, don’t call yourself a Hero just yet.
Two key quotes: “She’s delusional” and “You’re a f*&%ing lunatic.” Another key quote: “No one wants to date you.”
The greatest exercise in Platonic logic comes at 5:50. Let me quote the gay guy/lesbian (I don’t know) verbatim. He gets very angry when, as he claims, the lesbian attempts to define his body. He objects thus:
“I’m not talking about my body! I never mentioned my body! I actually asked you to try to define my body and you seemed unable to give an answer!”
Wait, what?
I don’t know. I think the general point is that we must stop encouraging the Dumb to be “political.”
I would urge you to head to the Conversationfor more thoughts on what you just watched, (if you got past the first 30 seconds.) Some of the YouTube comments are fairly entertaining, as well.

3/21/13 – On Thursday night, conservative radio host Mark Levin attacked Fox News host Bill O’Reilly and the “has-beens” at CNN for their “hit” on Rep. Michele Bachmann after she was caught racing away from a CNN reporter confronting her over factually inaccurate claims about the president’s “lavish” White House living. On Tuesday, CNN reporter Dana Bash attempted to confront Bachmann over her claims that the president has an extraordinarily luxurious lifestyle, but was famously met with deflection and a race away from the camera. On The O’Reilly Factor last night, the eponymous Fox host criticized Bachmann for her “trivial attacks on President Obama [that] are obscuring serious problems in this country,” emphasizing that the congresswoman’s “small ball” behavior “trivializes” the real issues at hand.

For almost 13 hours on Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) led a filibuster on the Senate floor that called attention to the Obama administration’s refusal to share its case for why the president can target and kill U.S. citizens without oversight. Joined by about a dozen different colleagues throughout the event, Paul hammered home questions surrounding positions advanced by President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Obama’s nominee to head the CIA, John Brennan. The entire filibuster is viewable at C-SPAN’s website.
Here’s a condensed version of the issues under debate, featuring Sen. Paul, President Obama, and actual drone surveillance footage.
For all of the late-night punch-drunkiness that eventually ensued on Twitter (well, at least on my feed), yesterday’s 12-hours-plus filibuster led by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is among the most electrifying and insipiring events in recent political memory. The point of the filibuster – which derailed a confirmation vote on John Brennan as Barack Obama’s CIA head – was to call attention to the president’s insufficient answers to questions about his policy of targeted killings via drones and, one assumes, other methods.
As Sen. Rand Paul R-Ky. approached the 8-hour mark of his filibuster in protest of the Obama administration’s drone program, his colleague Sen. Ted Cruz R-Texas approached the Senate floor to read tweets in support.
In a rare moment of complete honesty, Colorado Representative Claire Levy (D-Boulder) and sponsor of one of the many gun control bills making their way through the Colorado legislature, admitted that her bill may not actually reduce violent crime:
“I make no assertion that this bill will either increase or reduce violent crime, that is not the premise of the bill.”
Gun control. It’s pretty broad topic and no matter who you are, you’ve probably heard a lot about it lately, especially if you live in Colorado, the epicenter of the national gun control debate.
Fear of firearms keeps most of my college-aged peers from owning or carrying a gun. Going into my junior year at the University of Northern Colorado, I was one of them. I had grown up around my dad and brother’s shotguns and hunting rifles, but I didn’t believe I needed a weapon to defend myself. The very idea of carrying a handgun made me uncomfortable. Nothing would ever happen to me in Greeley, Colorado.
Then, everything changed in the early hours of a mid-May morning. I was sleeping in my college-area apartment when a stranger broke in through a closed window. He snuck into my bedroom.
During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun control Thursday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) shot down a proposed amendment to her “assault weapons” ban that would exempt military veterans from the gun ban. She also made some questionable claims.
Pushing a ban on high-capacity magazines, Feinstein argued that it is “legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.”
Here’s her dubious rationale:
“The time has come, America, to step up and ban these weapons. The other very important part of this bill is to ban large capacity ammunition feeding devices, those that hold more than 10 rounds. We have federal regulations and state laws that prohibit hunting ducks with more than three rounds. And yet it’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines. Limiting magazine capacity is critical because it is when a criminal, a drug dealer, a deranged individual has to pause to change magazines and reload that the police or brave bystanders have the opportunity to take that individual down.”

Andy McCarthy was on with Mark Levin tonight and they were discussing what is going on with Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, Bin Laden’s son-in-law. McCarthy brings us up to speed on who he is and how he was caught, and then explained how he believes the Obama administration and Holder are using Ghaith, who is already in our civilian court system, to get the federal judges to invalidate the military commissions and move KSM into the civilian court system as well. And this way, Obama and Holder get what they want and they can blame it on the federal judge.

YAFTV: Andrew Klavan Speaks Before The Young American Foundation:
What started as an emergency evacuation turned into an all night gunfight resulting in the deaths of two former Navy SEALs – Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty – genuine heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice when they were hit by mortar fire – just minutes before reinforcements arrived and the all night ordeal ended. This film commemorates the actions of the CIA GRS operators who rushed into a full blown firefight outmanned and outgunned, as well as the DSS protective specialists who joined them in fighting off a coordinated siege until morning arrived.
This is the first short film in a proposed series entitled Amazing Ops which will feature awe-inspiring stories of extraordinary valor that are all too often under-reported or overshadowed by politics. Amazing Ops focuses its lens squarely on the actions of the elite operators who carry out astonishing missions — in fact, we consider it our mission to faithfully represent the skill and bravery of these real life superheroes – those who gave their lives, those who made it out alive, and those whose identities must remain unknown – but whose stories demand to be told with credibility, reliability and authenticity.

Bill Whittle on the Frankfurt School:
This segment from Bill Whittle’s speech at a grassroots conservative event is the most important speech anyone could ever hear. It reveals in full the Trojan Horse-esque influence the Frankfurt School of socio-political thought has wrought on North American society.
Even as we speak, the tendrils of the Frankfurt School are desperate to expand into every facet of North American society. Critical theory has spread its wings in the form of globalization studies, post-colonial studies, white privilege theory and all sorts of other evidence-free ideological preserves sucking not only the confidence out of North American society, but sucking dry the resources of the university departments within which they have taken root.

Stockton has a Political Action Committee, Western Representation PAC, that is spending $25,000 from its cash reserves on the rallies in addition to money they have raised for the events; he said about $9,000 has come in thus far. TheTeaParty.net is sponsoring the events as well.

(Occurred on 2/14/13) – Featuring Lee Doren from the “HowTheWorldWorks” YouTube Channel, With more details about President Obama’s drone program emerging, many have criticized what they perceive to be a double standard — in terms of transparency and accountability. Under George W. Bush, goes the argument, such a program would have faced more scrutiny. Obama did face some tougher questioning yesterday, but wasn’t from cable network or magazine: It came during a Google+ “fireside hangout.” A little over a half hour into the interview, Kira Davis, a conservative video blogger and stay-at-home mother, questioned the president, critically but respectfully, on his promises of transparency, particularly in light of recent issues like drone strikes and Benghazi.
