We're the Only Ones All Ryled Up Enough

A Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper faces federal civil rights charges alleging he unlawfully arrested and kidnapped a man in January.

...The complaint, which federal authorities revealed Friday, also charges Ryle with brandishing a gun during the crime. It does not specify Ryle's relationship to the other man.[More]

Not specified?

I gotta wonder what Immigration and Customs Enforcement is doing joining with the FBI and state DCI that would result in an arrest?

The details are too scarce on this to pass "Only One" judgment yet. It's not like I have a high level of trust where the feds are involved.

One Nation, Under Allah

In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation's most qualified — Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted — has been submitted to the White House. [More]

Now I know the First Amendment states "CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." but I thought it was pretty much settled law that that "wall of separation" Jefferson referred to in a letter meant the application was now mandated to be drilled all the way down to villages putting a creche on public property...

Now we get hiring preferences based on profiling?

Oh well, I'm sure Americans United Against Non-Marxist Church/State Partnerships will get right on it--just like they and the IRS did with "Snuffy" Pfleger...

Besides, what kind of fool thinks the Constitution applies to the federal government...? Hell, they build "temples" to "enshrine" their gods.

I'm just waiting for the Islamic fundies to grok that the graven image of Muhammad on the Supreme Court building is blasphemy, and merits a fatwah.

Progress on the Mexican Drug War Front?

A "friend" of Vice President Joseph Biden's daughter, Ashley, is attempting to hawk a videotape that he claims shows her snorting cocaine at a house party this month in Delaware. [More]

You know--that drug war where the administration says Mexican cartel suppliers are using U.S.-supplied "assault weapons"...?

So the answer is obviously to disarm you and me--with a new ban even more stringent than the one Joe tells everybody he authored...?

Got it?

Although perhaps the title needs to be corrected--maybe I should change "Progress" to "Progressive"...?

What Does 'Operation Southbound Steel' Tell Us About Smuggling U.S. Guns to Mexico?

The ATF Atlanta Field Division put out a "request for information" on March 26 "advising law enforcement agencies of a firearms trafficking trend that involves the movement of illegal firearms from Atlanta, GA to Mexico." [More]

So--where are all those "assault weapons"?

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column brings you information you won't get anywhere else. I will not be surprised if it results in a visit. So I'd appreciate any here who are so inclined to help me shine lights and bang pots. You can do that by sharing this link far and wide, including with other media outlets.
