Lots of talk about “expanding” background checks for firearms purchases. Lots of reasonable people on both sides of the argument disagree what that would mean. But so far no one seems to have suggested the obvious – probably because so few in the argument have ever actually participated in what goes into buying a firearm. …
Until recently I imagine that most of the country, much like myself, knew little or nothing about Humberto Leal Garcia, the illegal immigrant* who became a vicious rapist and murderer back in 1994. At any given moment there are probably thousands of animals locked up in our nation’s penitentiaries for crimes similar to Humberto’s, and …
This is what they were talking about when they coined the term ‘man-caused-disaster.’ It wasn’t an act of war. It wasn’t the result of political extremism. It wasn’t a racist reaction to the country’s first (half) black President. It wasn’t a statement on illegal immigration nor Arizona’s efforts to combat same. It was one asshole …
Some years ago, the point was made that freedom of movement was an essential component of American freedom. I wish I could relate the source of my enlightenment on that point, but it escapes me at the moment. I’ve always remembered it on some level, because it is so obviously true on so basic a …
Think the conspiracy theorists are completely out of touch? Not on this one. Court allows countries to join challenge to Arizona Law In a new twist in the fight over Arizona’s immigration law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday asked a federal court to disallow foreign governments from joining the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit to …
Seems quite reasonable to me. A Platform for Restoring ‘Peace Through Strength’ In a world characterized by growing threats to freedom and the U.S. Constitution, America’s exceptional role, and indeed our country’s very existence, is at risk. We believe such times demand a robust, comprehensive national security posture appropriate to today’s threats, and tomorrow’s. Toward …

The decision involves the case of Xavier Alvarez of Pomona, Calif., a water district board member …

It’s not the military’s policy. RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Lawyers for a gay rights group asked a federal judge Friday to impose an injunction halting what they called the military’s unconstitutional “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Congress created the bill, President B.J. Clinton signed it into law. Don’t blame the military for U. S. Law.
Lynne Stewart is off to the big house for ten long years… Judge nails the bitch to the wall for demonstrating “lack of remorse.” Awesome. U.S. District Judge John Koeltl sentenced Stewart, 70, today in New York. A federal appeals court in November ruled that his first sentence didn’t reflect the seriousness of her actions. …
So stop making bad jokes and get to work doing what the people want.
I just filled out my 2010 census form. I didn’t hesitate to check “Some other race” in response to question 9, and write in “American”. I invite every American to do the same, regardless of ancestry. Kudos to Michelle Malkin and Theodore Roosevelt.
It occurred to me on my drive to work today, that Obama’s statements yesterday would only make it harder to put terrorists on in New York City. He referred to, basically, ‘a fair trial and a speedy execution’. No lawyer in the world would neglect to bring this up at trial. A quick check now …
Lindsey Graham schools the Attorney General of the United States on the finer points of law. Holder stammers. Continuously.
Somehow I doubt it, but I’d say it’s probably a good start. Corruption lands ex-Louisiana congressman 13 years ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Prosecutors called a former Louisiana congressman’s corruption the most extensive in the history of Congress. His punishment delivered a similar message. William Jefferson, who famously hid $90,000 cash in his freezer, was sentenced Friday …
