Buying Guns on Black Friday Becomes Tradition

        Buying Guns on Black Friday Becomes Tradition Under Obama Although much of the gun control push under President Obama has failed to result in new laws, it has succeeded in creating a new tradition where shoppers scoop up guns on Black Friday so they can place them under the tree on Christmas Day. Consider the numbers: in 2008, ABC News reported 97,848 background checks on Black Friday. In 2009, the numbers remained somewhat static but then began to grow exponentially as the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats began to flex their muscles.  By 2011, there were 129,166… View Article

Ford More Popular than Obama – Forbes says Impeach Obama Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has admitted to smoking crack cocaine and being a raging alcoholic, ranted about killing someone on tape and knocked down an elderly councilwoman – and yet he has a higher approval rating than the president of the United States.

The Canada-China Foreign Investment Protection and Promotion Agreement, commonly known as FIPA, is the most significant investor-state agreement signed by Canada since NAFTA…. View Article

The Tories held onto their two seats in the West, the Liberals held onto theirs in Ontario and Quebec. Move along folks, no story here. You could do this, as I say, only if you took extravagant care to ignore everything else that happened that night: If you focused myopically on… View Article
