Notes from the Resistance...
Obama Administration Approves 3 Million New Immigrant Workers in One Year -- Congress to fund ‘100 percent’ of Obama administration’s immigration priorities [More]I certainly am glad Republicans won control of both houses! What a difference that makes!
The board in charge of certifying law enforcement officers in Colorado will decide Monday whether to start requiring all agencies in the state to conduct psychological and physical evaluations before hiring applicants. [More]And spoil all the fun?
The expressions “silver bullet,” “pull the trigger,” “shoot from the hip” and “under the gun” are used in everyday language across our campus, and commonly even by those in leadership positions. I hear these and similar terms at least once a week, if not once a day. It always makes me cringe. [More]My, aren't you just a fragile thing.
A secret U.S. policy that prohibits immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas was reportedly kept in place over fears of a civil liberties backlash and “bad public relations.” [More]I mean really, why would they?
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today announced a ... registration process for owners of small unmanned aircraft (UAS) weighing more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams) and less than 55 pounds (approx. 25 kilograms) including payloads such as on-board cameras. [More]But don't worry-- the velvet glove on the iron fist is "streamlined and user friendly."
US town rejects solar panels amid fears they 'suck up all the energy from the sun'
A retired science teacher said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from growing [More]Hmmm....
The bishops must urge the faithful to support candidates who stand up to the National Rifle Association (NRA) and advance the cause of gun control. [More]Sorry Verm, aside from your wanting them to back abortion candidates, they focused on porn. You'll nonetheless be happy to know they retained language "supporting reasonable restrictions on access to assault weapons and handguns," but the call to political arms you wanted never happened.
I NEVER made the statement Mr. Williams claims. [More]Here's what Lee says.
The Florida Sheriffs Association would not comment Thursday. But Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, a staunch opponent of open carry, said the four amendments wouldn't make the bill acceptable to him --- or safe for people who openly display their guns.
For instance, he said, if an officer arrives at the scene of a crime and sees someone with a weapon, "At a minimum, they're going to be thrown down on the ground with a gun pointed at them --- or worse."
And if good citizen with a concealed weapon walks into, say, a bank during an armed robbery, Gualtieri added, "he's going to take one in the chest because he's a threat."Here's the modified story as appearing in The Daytona Beach News-Journal with the whole end of the original story cut out.
GOP attempts to insert language into the bill to impose tougher controls on Syrian and Iraqi refugees were unsuccessful. [More]That's for one of two reasons:
We are the people the totalitarian lobby is itching to disarm. And that’s why this latest bit of “official” domestic terrorism masked by the noble-sounding goal of keeping us all safe is so insidious, and has the potential to get extremely dangerous for everyone. Especially considering the confiscations being called for, and what that means to those who will not surrender their property or their rights to oath-breaking usurpers. [More]This one comes with snares and tripwires for all kinds of enemies of the state. You know, like Second Amendment originalists.
Since then, tens of thousands of our fellow Americans have been mowed down by gun violence. Tens of thousands. More kids have lost siblings. More parents have lost children. More husbands and wives have had to bury the love of their life. Sometimes, it’s hard to put specific numbers on this epidemic and its causes – because Congress has actually prevented the CDC, our leading public health agency, from conducting serious research into gun violence. Did you know that? Some years ago, they actually voted to make it harder for public health experts to conduct research into gun violence – but even after San Bernardino, they’ve refused to make it harder for terrorist suspects to buy semi-automatic weapons. [More]The guy is shameless.
