WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Obama unveiled measures earlier in the day that will require individuals involved in trading firearms to obtain special licenses and carry out background checks of their customers. The US government would treat failure to comply as a criminal matter. “A pro-gun Congress will legally challenge the actions and stall them as it has done with immigration executive actions. A State of Emergency would block that,” Rosenberg said on Tuesday. Obama also pledged to increase funding… View Article

Swiss General Urges Citizens to Arm Themselves

Czech president says Muslim Brotherhood behind invasion of Europe Kurt Nimmo Prior to the mass rape by Arab and North African migrants on New Year’s Eve, a Swiss Army general warned unchecked immigration, social dislocation and a crumbling economy will ultimately pitch Europe into civil war. “The threat of terror is rising, hybrid wars are being fought around the globe; the economic outlook is gloomy and the resulting migration flows of displaced persons and refugees have assumed unforeseen dimensions,” Lieutenant-General André Blattmann told Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten last week.

Oregon standoff reveals how leftists desperately want armed government to execute private citizens

by: J. D. Heyes Well, that was quick. I’m talking about the mainstream media’s rapid assessment of the group that has taken over a building on federal land near Burns, Oregon. Needless to say, the assessment is more than a little bit hypocritical. Not unsurprisingly, CNN – which will “host” President Obama’s anti-gun “town hall” this week – was one of the first to declare Ammon and Ryan Bundy, and their group, “terrorists.” The network’s national security analyst and former Obama Administration official Juliette Kayyam said it first: Who the heck do they think they are?

Dame Edna: Sex-Change Surgery is ‘Self Mutilation’

Dame Edna: Sex-Change Surgery is ‘Self Mutilation’; Bruce Jenner is a ‘Publicity-Seeking Ratbag’ by James Delingpole People who undergo gender reassignment surgery are just “mutilated men.” Bruce Jenner is a “publicity-seeking ratbag.” It wasn’t me who said this (though I kind of wish I had).
