On May 6 last year, when she tried to end the relationship, Buttel allegedly wrote: "No, I decide." [More]That's what constant reinforcement that their function is to control us does.
'I know you'd like to focus on language - that's not what the American people are focused on," Wasserman-Schultz told "Fox and Friends" Tuesday. "The American people are focused on job creation." [More]Actually, some will probably focus on domestic enemies.
Michael Moore: I needed round-the-clock protection from navy SEAL team [More]Well thank goodness this progressive champion of the little people could afford it!
Project Bombwalker? Were grenade/IED components allowed to ‘walk’ to cartels? [More]This morning's Gun Rights Examiner report reveals some ... uh ... explosive new charges. Vanderboegh and I have been sitting on this one since last Friday waiting for announcements to be made.
The absolutely nonviolent "nature" of his "offense" was defiance of their unconstitutional rules--and that is something they will not tolerate--no matter how well behaved their captive has been, and even if he is scheduled to be released in less than a year. [More]This morning's Gun Rights Examiner commentary decodes a personal message intended for all of us.
William Barton, Lieutenant, 1st NJ, "I was sent out with a detachment under Maj. Hollinshead, for the purpose of collecting, horses, cattle, &c., many of them having strayed the night before, on account of which the army was detained until 2 P. M. when we proceeded three miles, land continuing rich and fertil as before; encamped in the woods near the lake. Here a great plenty of pea vines, which our horses and cattle feed on. This day have intelligence that the garrison at Powles Hook was surprised and taken." [More]
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has acknowledged an Indiana dealer’s cooperation in conducting straw purchases at the direction of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Exclusive documents obtained by Gun Rights Examiner show the dealer cooperated with ATF by selling guns to straw purchasers, and that bureau management later asserted these guns were being traced to crimes. [More]Today's special Gun Rights Examiner report provides documentation that the government was aware that guns authorized for straw purchases were being traced to crime scenes.

Major John Burrowes, 5th NJ, "One of the soldiers found at this place this morning an old squaw in a bunch of bushes, she not being able to go off with them, was hid there to be safe. She is the greatest picture of old age I ever saw. The General sent for her, she was carried to his marque. The poor old creature was just ready to die with fear, thinking she was to be killed..." [More]
Especially relevant to prior reports in this column: Much of the correspondence focuses on straw purchasing suspect Jaime Avila, and a memorandum from AUSA Hurley to his then-boss, just-resigned U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, specifically opens detailing Avila's connection to the guns found at the Brian Terry murder scene. Burke, regular readers will recall, filed a motion with the court in the Avila case to deny victim status to Agent Terry's parents citing lack of a link between Avila's straw purchases and their son's murder. [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report shows how "law enforcement" officials immediately tried to mask the connection between their gunwalking and the death of a Border Patrol agent.
"Captive hunting for both native wildlife and exotic wildlife should be illegal," says the Humane Society's Casey Pheiffer. [More]Why?
Wouldn’t it be better to have local values and standards reflected in local rules? Isn’t home rule usually the best way to go? [More]So let me get this straight--you're advocating elimination of all federal and state gun laws...?
Thank you for all your help. Dad will not be released because there is no way to get him out of prison. There is not enough time. I want to thank you all for all your efforts. Thank you, Fincher Family [More]I'll have more to say on this later. Now is not the time.
The last time Boundary County ended up in the national spotlight happened to be this little incident... [More]Yep. It's only too bad this little incident didn't also make the national spotlight.

It also shows that everybody who was anybody in the administration was institutionally involved, not just ATF, and certainly not just ATF Phoenix, as some would like to confine investigations to. And among the recipients, one stands out--the last one on the list: NSC. [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a direct line of involvement to the very top that goes back years...
"We’re joined by Vincent Cefalu, an ATF Special Agent who helped blow the whistle on Operation Fast and Furious and has since faced retaliation. 'We allowed these guns to continue on in the hopes of establishing some sort of chain, or iron pipeline, which was so far from the truth,' Cefalu says. 'The only way to [track] the guns would be with crime scenes and dead bodies.'" [More]Today's second Gun Rights Examiner report features an inconvenient truth.
Ms. Jones, I have received no notification one way or another. Is that due to an oversight, was your response lost in the mail, or has not responding to my appeal been directed, and if so, by whom? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report chips away at a stone wall. No, I don't expect to knock it down, but a little erosion here, a little erosion there, why you never can tell what might leak through the breach...

Yes, I want to take away your gun. [More]Well, Cincinnati is only a few hours away. I suppose we could arrange for you to try.
You could mark that up to hypocrisy—artsy do-gooders only too eager to tell others what kind of light bulbs they have to buy won't make sacrifices when it comes to their own passions. [More]Welcome to the party, pals.
As long as that policy remains in shadows, as long as stonewalling on “Project Gunwalker” continues, answers to questions like which agencies and departments were involved--to what extent, for what purposes, and how high up in the administration knowledge and direction of operations went--will evade discovery.Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes blood seeping through a stone wall. Lots of it.
And perpetrators will evade justice. [More]

So here's the question: Will you do this as well? No excuses, right now, you're not doing anything else anyway, it will only take a minute...? [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner commentary asks you for something. Am I really asking too much?
Which brings to mind another case that took place in Boundary County a decade back—or more correctly, one that did not take place.

Ain’t it something? In order to protect public health from disease, we need guns—do it for for the children! [More]This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner commentary calls for immunization therapy.
Ulsterman(interrupts) —Staying with Congressman Issa. Can you just say straight on if you believe he will follow through on bringing a special prosecutor to investigate Gunrunner? Just a simple yes or no on that please…I never "rest assured." Particularly when I have no experience with the principals. But I do have hope.
Insider: That kind of thing will take more than just Darrell Issa. Good news is, it’s forming right now. I’ve told you that already and you have no reason to doubt it. The negotiations are currently underway for a special prosecutor and the signs are looking very-very good on that, which is a huge development for all of this – for what we have been working toward. But let’s not get into more details on that just yet – I don’t intend to help fuck this one up. Just rest assured it’s moving along, and at a much faster pace than I would have thought possible just a month ago. [More]
If a private gunwalker merits severe punishment, how much more do obstructionists sworn to uphold the law, who betrayed their official positions of power, engaged in conspiracy, and callously allowed people to die in order to advance an agenda? [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes there are those whose interests are served if the rule of law is dead--and unsurprisingly, they work in government.

"...who reportedly belongs to a militia group called Oath Seekers." [More]That right there discredits everything else these lazy parroting mouthpieces have to say. Because he didn't and they're not.

It would have been ethical for the Mercury News to disclose “reporter” Johnson’s sympathies and financial incentives, would it not? What does it tell us that they did not?[More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column shows how a journalistic con game works.
If a right to self-defense actually exists, it is in a very real sense the highest law of the land and all lesser laws must pay it deference. [More]That's what it's all about.

Now what is it that accompanies the president everywhere he goes? That’s right, the “nuclear football” that has the launch codes. [More]This evening's Gun Rights Examiner commentary asks if we would be punished for violating a "home rule" ordinance, why won't the president be? I mean, they even posted signs, for goodness sake!
In March they knew things were out of control. And Voth was giving official assurances everything was hunky-dory in April. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner report highlights chronic and habitual liars, with special guest stars Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich. I'd have loved to see Darrel Issa use some of these lines on Gunwalker Bill Newell.
He warned against drawing broad conclusions about misconduct cases that have implicated 50 officers in a kickback scandal...four officers mistakenly killed their plainclothes colleague...[an officer] was indicted on federal charges of dealing heroin...[a police major] had a social relationship with [the indicted officer] and appeared in a photo with him — and separately with another man charged in another drug case — [and] was transferred from that command....[More]But don't draw any broad conclusions.

Lee wins one of only eight medals awarded by Congress during the war–and the only one awarded to a soldier beneath the rank of general–for his role in this action. [More]
We know that the administration is hostile to small arms, at least in private hands. We know that political opponents of the administration are deemed haters. We know that these sentiments are shared by the overwhelmingly regressive establishment press.This afternoon's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes that if wolves ("reintroduced" or otherwise) are stalking us, it's better to make them howl than vice-versa.
And we know that this administration is not beyond…well, ”Project Gunwalker” (and all that it implies) to advance its agenda. [More]
That, evidently, is just the way Colin Goddard wants things to be. [More]This morning's Gun Rights Examiner commentary looks at two cases of violent crime that the Brady Campaign does not find offensive--or at least as offensive as had the victims defended themselves with guns.

On August 18, a Patriot spy from Bergen Town named Daniel Van Reypen was sent to the fort posing as a Loyalist seeking news. Returning that afternoon, he reported all was quiet, not having heard that Van Buskirk and 130 troops planned to march out that evening to intercept rebels reported in the area. Also unknown to Major Lee, Clinton had sent more than 40 Hessians to bolster the force. The garrison at Paulus Hook could summon more help from New York by prearranged signal, firing two cannons or hanging three lanterns on a signal pole. [More]
The regressive left habitually and falsely accuses Second Amendment activists of not caring about the rest of the Bill of Rights, but this shows that’s just projection and deflection masking their own hostility to all freedom... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column shows what a bunch of disgusting, hypocritical weasels populate the mainstream press. Sorry if I burst anyone's bubble about our heroic crusading journalist corps...still, seeing them actually partner with a collectivist politico to shut down anyone who's not a lichtblau is something it's in our interests to spread around...or it should be.

Issa’s office put out a rebuttal demonstrating factual errors and plagiarism in the hit piece, and showed in a follow up The Times even got the central premise of their hit piece wrong.

Interview guest: Bob Wright, 1st Brigade, New Mexico Militia [More]Today's lineup...
Adam Hubley, Lieutenant Colonel, 11th PA, "Several of our out continentals alarmed our camp by firing off several guns about 1 o'clock in the morning, in consequence of which light corps stood under arms. Several patrols were sent out to reconnoitre the front of encampment, returned near day-break, but made no discoveries--alarm proved premature. Gen. Hand, being ordered with the detachment under Gen.

“Those who are not in law enforcement are telling law enforcement what to do,” said Maggi Duncan, director of the Tennessee Association of Police Chiefs. [More]Yeah, no kidding, idiot. That she thinks it should be the other way around tells us all we need to know.
