"You're Out Of Order! We're Asking You To Leave!"

Here's how New Jersey's tyrants -- you know, the worthless sleaze whose bills we pay -- handle testimony they dislike from an eloquent, effective serf at a hearing on yet another bill to disarm us.
Thanks to Jordan Bell for sending -- and to James Kaleda for his awesome courage. Thanks as well as to the folks who stood with him, applauding, giving Mr. Kaleda a well-deserved standing O, and hissing at Our Rulers for their despotism. |

CISPA Sponsor Mike Rogers May Go On To Lead The FBI
posted 05/14/2013, 9:18 PM (Techdirt) [Category: Politics/Corruption] We've often heard stories of politicians passing legislation soon before they left office, only to have that very same legislation help them in their next job (coincidentally, we're sure). So it does seem interesting that Rep. Mike Rogers, the main champion behind CISPA, the privacy-destroy cybersecurity bill, is apparently a top candidate to head the FBI -- so much so that the FBI Agents Association, representing 12,000 FBI agents, has officially stated that it would like him to take the j...

Obama on Drugs
posted 04/23/2013, 7:28 AM (Mises Institute) [Category: Politics/Corruption] President Barack Obama is famous for many things, including two best-selling autobiographical books. In those books, he openly admitted to using illegal drugs as a young man, specifically marijuana. So, one would think that he would be amenable to reforming drug laws and sentencing guidelines, or even legalizing marijuana.
Instead he has been two-faced on the issue. He suggests that things can be better managed and that drug prohibition has certain unintended consequences, but whe... (more) |

Oh Look, Rep. Mike Rogers Wife Stands To Benefit Greatly From CISPA Passing...
posted 04/18/2013, 10:19 AM (Techdirt) [Category: Politics/Corruption] It would appear that Rep. Mike Rogers, the main person in Congress pushing for CISPA, has kept rather quiet about a very direct conflict of interest that calls into serious question the entire bill. It would appear that Rogers' wife stands to benefit quite a lot from the passage of CISPA, and has helped in the push to get the bill passed. It's somewhat amazing that no one has really covered this part of the story, but it highlights, yet again, the kind of activities by folks in Congress... (more) |

posted 04/17/2013, 9:19 AM (CNSNews.com) [Category: Politics/Corruption] (CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama asserted Tuesday the Boston Marathon bombing was an “act of terror,” a term he avoided in his first statement just hours after the explosions that killed three and wounded more than 100.
“The FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism,” Obama told reporters at the White House. “Any time bombs are used to target civilians it is an act of terror. What we don’t yet know, however, is who carried out this attack, or why, or whether it was plan... (more) This just in: Obama admits he's a terrorist. |

Justice Department Seeks To Keep Secret The Names Of Prosecutors Of Aaron Swartz
posted 04/05/2013, 1:14 AM (Jonathan Turley) [Category: Politics/Corruption] The Justice Department was once all too eager to announce its prosecution of Aaron Swartz and issue press releases on how they piled on additional counts against him. However, after Swartz committed suicide in response to its unrelenting prosecution, U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz and the Justice Department now want to keep the names of prosecutors in the case a secret so that they will not be held accountable for the abusive case.

Golden State Gun Grab Lays Groundwork for Mass Disarmament
posted 04/02/2013, 1:02 AM (Michael Tennant) [Category: Politics/Corruption] A recent news story demonstrates the dangers of letting the government know who owns guns and determine who is permitted to own them. The state of California “requires most weapons sales go through a licensed dealer and be reported,” writes Bloomberg, and it sends agents around to confiscate weapons from people the state has decided are unfit to possess them, “including convicted felons, those under a domestic violence restraining order, or deemed mentally unstable.”...

As the nation awaits the Obama administration's response to marijuana legalization votes in Colorado and Washington, Tuesday saw a two-pronged attack on the whole notion. On the one hand, former drug czars and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) heads lined up to urge the administration to act now to strangle legalization in its crib, while on the other, the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) warned that allowing states to legalize would violate international drug control treaties.<...
