(Via American Thinker) First of all, there is no gun show loophole.

People who sell firearms at gun shows are licensed Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers to begin with. Other people can set up a table at a gun show to sell tee shirts, laser sights, hand grips and other shooting accessories. Unless they are FFL dealers, they cannot sell guns.

If you read articles by journalists who visited gun shows, read carefully what they write because you will discover they will mix buying a tee shirt with buying an AR-15 and state that is some cases, they didn’t even need a background check. The LIV reads the article and goes away thinking, “Wow, he bought an assault rifle at a gun show without any background check.” Actually he bought the tee shirt without the background check but combined multiple purchases to mislead the reader.

Watching how the Grievance Industrialist Jesse Jackson uses language to divide, obfuscate, ignore and avoid the reality of his own ideology is laughable.

An all black historically corrupt city council, together with a black mayor, in a predominently black city, have run the place into the ground.   [The race of the aforementioned is noted only because of the approach by 2-J’s]  Now 2-J’s has the nerve to say an emergency city manager (also black), designed to try and save the city, is the equivalent of a plantation owner because he is appointed by a white governor:

“As opposed to having a city council that’s democratically elected and a mayor, you’ll have a plantocracy, a plantation-ocracy, replacing a democracy,” Jackson said.

[…]  Jackson was joined by Detroit City Councilwomen JoAnn Watson and Brenda Jones, U.S. Rep. John Conyers and a union representative at a rally inside city hall that drew  about 100 people. He also called on the U.S. Department of Justice to intervene to protect Detroiters’ rights to vote. (more…)

There are just way too many things wong with this story….  Hopefully the aide will not be forced to confront a line-up….

MASSACHUSSETTS – A state representative in Massachussetts is being investigated after allegedly sending pictures of his genitals to a government computer.

The investigation is ongoing and the committee has not formally reprimanded the individual in charge, but it is being widely reported that Democratic State Representative John Fresolo is the one behind the scandal.

He allegedly sent ‘lascivious photos of his privates’ to a computer at the State House, and an aide complained to the Ethics Committee to start the investigation.

House Speaker Robert DeLeo has not confirmed any accusations in the case except that he did say there was ‘sufficient cause’ for an investigation.  (more…)

Progs are the most insufferable whiners when it comes to spending YOUR money.  DWS proclaims that budget cuts are forcing her staff to starve or something….. 

WASHINGTON DC – On Tuesday, FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her colleague VA Rep. Jim Moran openly whined about the impacts of spending cuts on their personal office budgets. Moran fretted that, with the looming sequester cuts, he may have to cut one staffer from his office. Wasserman Schultz upped his ante, however. She, almost literally, suggested that her staff were on the brink of starvation, due to the cuts. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Armed Services Committee chief Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) joined with Senate Republicans on Thursday to demand that President Obama take military action to end the Syrian civil war.

Levin and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) sent a letter to the White House urging Obama to consider “limited military options,” including airstrikes, to topple the regime of embattled Syrian president Bashar Assad. (more…)

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will introduce gun control legislation Thursday night that includes a proposal for universal background checks.

“Later tonight, I will start the process of bringing a bill to reduce gun violence to the Senate floor,” Reid said in a statement. “This bill will include the provisions on background checks, school safety and gun trafficking reported by the Judiciary Committee. I hope negotiations will continue over the upcoming break to reach a bipartisan compromise on background checks, and I am hopeful that they will succeed. If a compromise is reached, I am open to including it in the base bill. But I want to be clear: in order to be effective, any bill that passes the Senate must include background checks.” (more…)

Numerous people are only just now becoming aware of the lucrative industry of “grievance”.  Despite the growth of income potential from grievance industrialists over the course of many years, most people never really paid attention to it.   The Zimmerman case brings an opportunity to deliver sunlight to the scheme(s).

George Zimmerman is, on paper, being prosecuted by the State of Florida, but the state is not really his prosecution – The State is merely facilitating a process created by, structured by, and afforded by the Grievance Industry.

As we have previously outlined Angela Corey was chosen by Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi because Corey needed some quick credibility with the African-American constituency.   Corey was one of the Campaign Managers for Bondi – so the relationship is quite sympatico.

Bondi was the prosecutor in another previously successful Grievance Campaign against the State, “The Martin Lee Anderson case“.   In the Anderson case, Trayvon Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump, was also the lead civil representative for wrongful death claims by Anderson’s family.   In that case Pam Bondi and Benjamin Crump also cemented their friendship and quid-pro-quo arrangements.    Crump was out for money, Bondi needed political clout.

Duh…. Ya, think they would consider making car tires illegal if no car moved on anything except tires?….. Prolly.

(Via WeaselZippers) Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday the state is not rolling back the nation’s most stringent gun control measure by keeping 10-bullet magazines legal, even though they would have been outlawed in a bill that passed earlier this year.

Cuomo and legislative leaders in state budget talks plan to change the law that was passed in January before a provision kicks in banning the sale of 10-bullet magazines. The gun measure outlaws the purchase of any magazines that carry more than seven bullets, the nation’s most stringent limit. That would have put a severe limit on the sale of guns with industry standard 10-bullet magazines when the provision of the law went onto effect on April 15. (more…)

At a joint press conference with Obama at the Prime Minister’s Office following a lengthy meeting, Netanyahu said that with the entry of the new government, “Israel remains fully committed to peace and a solution for two states for two people.”
“We extend our hands in peace and friendship to the Palestinians… let us put aside all preconditions and work together to achieve a historic compromise and put an end to the conflict,” the prime minister said. (more…)

Understanding how and why George Zimmerman is being prosecuted in the Trayvon Martin shooting is a complex undertaking.   Most of the people with a ‘general sense’ of the case have no idea the depth of the alignment against him.

This week many people became aware of the name “Thomas Perez” because he is a nominee put forth by President Obama for a cabinet secretary position, Labor Secretary.  However, in his previous role as head of the Civil Rights Division of the Dept of Justice, Mr Perez played a key role in the George Zimmerman case.

It should be noted that Congressional Black Caucus member, Congresswoman Corrine Brown, played a key role in bringing race-based support from Perez to the forefront of the case.   Both Congresswoman Brown, and Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett, asked the Dept. of Justice to intervene in the case.   [All supportive documents are within this pdf]
