President Obama Refers to Himself a Whopping 76 Times in 33 Minute Speech on Guns

Michael Cantrell We often joke about how self-absorbed and narcissistic our Commander-in-Chief is — well it’s not really humorous because he really is self-obsessed — but the sheer number of times he referred to himself during his gun control speech today is astounding. From Grabien: He spoke about his support for the Second Amendment, his background as a constitutional law professor, his critics, his frequent trouble locating his iPad, and perhaps most memorably, his anger when thinking about child victims of mass shootings. If it’s starting to sound like Obama made frequent mention of himself, that’s because he did. In… View Article

Obama Can Call State of Emergency to Stop Legal Action on Gun Controls

US President Barack Obama could implement a state of emergency in order to prevent legal challenges to his executive gun control regulations, US advocacy group National Gun Victims Action Council Secretary Martha Rosenberg told Sputnik. 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

Blattmann said public discourse is “dangerously aggressive” and “social unrest can not… View Article

Confederate graves vandalized in North Carolina cemetery

The backlash against US Confederate symbols spilled into a North Carolina cemetery when a number of graves were vandalized with anti-racist graffiti. Nine graves in the Confederate section of Historic Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh were targeted just before the New Year, most of them belonging to high-ranking officials.

The cemetery, which is privately owned, contains the graves of hundreds of foot soldiers,… View Article

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? Let’s begin with what… View Article
