Faceoff
U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has set up a faceoff with Barack Obama's U.S. Justice Department over the agency's refusal to respond to demands from Congress for information about federal Operation Fast and Furious that apparently maneuvered dangerous weapons into the hands of Mexican drug lords. [Read]
With color commentary from...uh...well, you'll know him when you hear him.
Thought I posted this yesterday and just found it still in "drafts."
Close, But No Cigar
An arsenal found in Mexico included at least five assault rifles that U.S authorities trace to a federal operation gone badly awry, according to government documents.I was guilty of using "gone awry" myself early on.
The discovery appears to confirm for the first time fears cited by Republican lawmakers that a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation called Fast and Furious failed to stop guns from ending up with drug gangs in Mexico. [More]
And it's not really that they "failed to stop" the guns, is it?
Second ‘Gunwalker’ hearing to ‘examine tragic consequences of Fast and Furious'
“The reckless decisions of ATF and Justice Department officials in Operation Fast and Furious have devastated lives and put fear into communities on both sides of the border,” Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) explained. “By exploring this Justice Department sanctioned program, we can better understand the flawed process surrounding the genesis and implementation of an operation that put guns into the hands of criminals.” [More]
I just got this alert from the Oversight Committee press secretary via email, and it certainly warranted an immediate reaction via a second Gun Rights Examiner column today.
Hopefully, you'll agree this news warrants spreading, and will do so by sharing the link.
Police continue to dispel myth they are ‘only ones’ trusted enough to bear arms
These apples didn’t spoil overnight. And as I said, I have thousands upon thousands of examples amassed over the years, many of them corroborating that misbehavior has been either widespread or widely tolerated, and that those who were not engaging in it looked the other way and kept quiet about it. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column challenges Josh Sugarmann to see whose [list] is longer.

Will Holder Hold Preemptive Press Conference Before Hearings?
With that as caveat, a little bird told me that the title question is one worth asking.
I've actually heard more intriguing speculation, but at this point let's just see if anything comes of this.
We're the Only Ones with Sweet Jobs Enough
Felon, fired cop land sweet school jobs in Cicero and Berwyn district [More]And their "official" patron?
Pesek, board president of Morton High School District 201, had ties to a major drug dealer and an Outlaw motorcycle gang member.
Hey, "These are valued people who have served the district well and served the community well."
Seems like they're serving themselves pretty well, too.
Sticker Shock
Boy, if they freak out over "2" decals, what must they think of the "III's"? [Read]
And they really expect us to believe the Baltimore Police Department issues "intelligence bulletins"?
Hey, they're just listening to the advice of Waco Jim and his Southern Preposterous Lie Center handlers...

Ah, the good ol' UN...
I'm on an email list where I just received a warning about the implications of Missouri v Holland, which stated:
Ultimately, the sentiment represented by that Texas flag--how much of it there is and how strong the resolution of those who hold it--is going to decide whether those who would impose disarmament by international treaty on us will triumph, or whether we who would defy and resist will send them howling into the darkness.
I vote for number 2, but then again, I can't even get sunshine patriots to send emails, forward links or toss a few buck Mike's way. I can't even begin to count how many have opined that all our work on Gunwalker has been futile--like any of the naysayers ever predicted things would get as far as they have. Just the kind of companions I want to share a trench with to buck up the old morale before any shots have been fired!
Maybe we should have just kept our mouths shut, and talked about things that are safe, pragmatic, entertaining and fun!
Seeing how much like pulling teeth it is to get some to lift a finger and do something easy kind'a makes me wonder at times who's up for real sacrifices and risks...

"No doubt the great body of private relations usually fall within the control of the State, but a treaty may override its power."Yeah, that's what the plan is.

California politicians reveal total hypocrisy on ‘gun control’
Perhaps any population that would willingly turn over power to such heavy-handed, self-serving hypocrites is, as a whole, too ignorant to be treated like informed adults…? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary looks at some elite Californians, watches Ferris Bueller's Day (Almost) Offed, prepares for a faceoff and notices some off-target flak in the Pacific Northwest.
This Day in History: June 8
State of Massachusetts-Bay. In the House of Representatives, June 8, 1779. : Whereas it appears that an agreement was made between the four New-England states ... to keep up a certain number of men in the state of Rhode-Island, so long as the enemy kept in force there ... resolved, that eight hundred men, non-commissioned officers included, in addition to those ordered to be raised to be under the command of Colonel Jacobs, be raised to serve ... in the following manner ...

Issa releases witness list for first 'Gunwalker' hearing
"This hearing will examine the constitutional questions raised by both the Department of Justice’s refusal to comply with a Congressional subpoena as well as the withholding of documents from a Congressional subpoena," the release advises. [More]Today's second Gun Rights Examiner column shows careful preparations and a strong foundation being built.
Issa is serious about dispensing the Darrelax. No doubt certain people are already feeling the effects.
