Media begins noticing ‘Project Gunwalker’

The hold-out reporters I’ve been speaking with have been insisting we give them our sources and the documentation provided to the Senate. For those, aside from saying “No way,” all I can advise is that trying to approach this developing story from the totality of its scope may be presently undoable--my sense is that much of the validation will only come out with further disclosures from those who now have the testimony and the documentation to corroborate it.  And from those compelled to testify.

Under oath.  [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column notes the story is getting some limited attention. It's incumbent on those of us who want to see it get more than that to keep pressing.

BREAKING NEWS: Grassley Writes Melson on Project Gunwalker

Something funny is going on in the Project Gunwalker investigation, and by that I mean peculiar funny, not ha-ha funny. Anyway, I thought I'd point that out before it gets "corrected" so that maybe we can figure out together if it has any relevance.

Figures, the entire Middle East is about to blow up with radical regime changes, some suspect with no small amount of cause precipitated by the subversives at our ship of state's helm, and this idiot decides it's a fine time to visit Haiti to promote our vital national interests:

I wonder if in their investigative zeal if  WaPo "Authorized Journalists" James V. Grimaldi and Sari Horwitz have lifted finger one to look into "Project Gunwalker" allegations?  You know, just to make sure we've covered all the bases before shilling to have the government throw even more money down the rathole?

Why not ask them?

New York City Investigates Arizona Gun Show [More]

Didn't these evil control freak SOBs get warned not to try this crap in South Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia...?

I think Arizona ought to send investigators to New York and tape a few gun sales taking place on their streets in spite of the best efforts of all the king's horses...and then post it on You Tube.

Or better yet, just dip Bloomberg's little rats in a big salty vat of transfats and blow cigarette smoke at them. 

The question here: Who are the "investigators"?  I doubt they're NY cops--more likely Arizona private dick fascists for hire.  Out the m...........s.

The softest targets would be so-called “gun free zones.”  And no doubt “assault weapons” would be used.

This Day in History: January 31

We have just now received very unpleasant intelligence from the West Indies, Mr. Bingham 'tis said writes from Martinico that General Grant had possessed himself of the Island of St. Lucia. Count d'Estaing having block'd up four British Ships of the Line, which were Iying in the Bason or Harbor, landed a body of Troops and attempted to force one of the Enemys works, these were severely repulsed, and the Count after having sustained a loss of upwards of fifteen hundred Men, had desisted from the Enterprise, and retired. He had been reinforced by four Ships of the Line from France, and two captured English Frigates. I have not time to enquire into particulars, but as the Account is against us, there is no ground for suspecting exaggeration. [More]
