"Those who do possess either an assault weapon or a large-capacity magazine, as defined in the text of the bill, on July 1, 2016, will need to either modify the weapon to magazine to “render it permanently inoperable or such that it is no longer an assault weapon or large capacity magazine” or give the firearm over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to be destroyed; gun owners will have an Oct. 31, 2016 deadline to do so.

Newspaper Editor Calls for Gun Owners to Be Treated Like Sex Offenders

Newspaper Editor Calls for Gun Owners to Be Treated Like Sex Offenders
Of all the dumb ideas that anti-gunners come up with this one has to be near the top of the list.  
But the paranoia of ignorant anti-protectionists would be laughable if it weren’t also directing the steps of our president.

The editor of the Baltimore Sun Tricia Bishop has come up with her own clever plan to equate being a gun owner with being a sex offender.  
Apparently in her mind they are equally disturbing even though gun ownership is not only protected by the 2nd amendment but is also one of the biggest deterrents in thwarting the very crimes committed by sex offenders.

Here is what the editor wrote in her column:

I’m less afraid of the criminals wielding guns in Baltimore, I declared as we discussed the issue, than I am by those permitted gun owners. I know how to stay out of the line of Baltimore’s illegal gunfire; I have the luxury of being white and middle class in a largely segregated city that reserves most of its shootings for poor, black neighborhoods overtaken by “the game.” The closest I typically get to the action is feeling the chest-thumping vibrations of the Foxtrot police helicopter flying overhead in pursuit of someone who might be a few streets over, but might as well be a world away. But I don’t know where the legal gun owners are or how to ensure that their children, no matter how well versed in respecting firearms, won’t one day introduce that weapon to my daughter.

And so, as President Barack Obama announced plans this week to tighten background checks for gun buyers and increase gun tracking and research, I thought, that’s all well and good, but how about adding something immediately useful: a gun owner registry available to the public online — something like those for sex offenders. I’m not equating gun owners with predatory perverts, but the model is helpful here; I want a searchable database I can consult to find out whether my kid can have a play date at your house.

There are so many things wrong with these comments we could write 10 posts on a simple rebuttal, but we will leave the comment section below for that and simply write about a few glaring issues with this argument.

Did you notice how Bishop says she is more afraid of law abiding gun owners than she is of the crooks and criminals who carry guns to carry out their crimes?  
So, this is the frame of mind we are dealing with here.  

Never mind that more gun deaths take place at the hands of those who illegally own them, but it’s often the law abiding gun owner that is able to stop or deter a crime, as we have reported hundreds of times in our defensive gun use section here..."

The morally repugnant response to the Cologne sexual assault gang

The morally repugnant response to the Cologne sexual assault gang
Does Germany's leadership class secretly want to destroy the European Union?
 I'm beginning to wonder.
The news from Cologne, of the mass, semi-coordinated sexual assault of women revelers on New Year's Eve started dripping out on January 4 and 5.
And those first news stories, the ones that quoted the mayor of Cologne, or the ones that appeared in premier publications, like the The New York Times, had something strange in common.
They all framed the story in this way: Something regrettable happened in Cologne on New Year's Eve, and it could be really bad because it will cause people in Europe to think bad thoughts about immigrants, refugees, and migrants, or about the politicians who are committed to swelling their ranks in Europe.
"Reports of Attacks on Women in Germany Heighten Tension Over Migrants," said the respectable media.
The real scandal, it was implied, was not that these hundreds of allegedly North African and Arab men had groped, harassed, robbed, and raped women in the street.
Or that the police were inept or unwilling to stop it.
It was that this minority of a minority had, inadvertently, cooperated with the real evil stalking Europe: the populist backlash against mass immigration and its political enablers.
Less than a handful of the rapists have been arrested for the crimes they committed in the sight of police that night.
Europe's political class has already set about firmly scolding anyone who draws the wrong conclusions.
...It is hard not to notice that the European Union is failing in the tasks for which it was founded. 
It was founded in the horror of the Holocaust.
And now its policy on migration is creating societies that are deeply hostile to Jews. And Jews have responded by evacuating Europe.
...If Europe begins to unravel in 2016, the proximate cause will have been the events in Cologne around midnight on Jan. 1.

A National Disgrace.  Obama's anti-American policies have weakened our military.  
Do you remember when we were the strongest nation in the world?

1,272 Milwaukee school employees make over $100,000 a year

1,272 Milwaukee school employees make over $100,000 a year | EAGnews.org:
"MILWAUKEE – It’s hardly a secret that Milwaukee Public Schools dug a deep financial hole over the years with overgenerous benefit packages for employees.
As far back as 2010, Milwaukee City Alderman Bob Donovan pointed out that the district was spending 74 cents on employee benefits for every dollar in salary.
The average teacher had benefits worth more than $40,000 per year, pushing total compensation packages for many teachers above $100,000.
Donovan called the situation “unsustainable and overly generous,” and he was absolutely correct.
...In the 2013-14 school year, for instance, an amazing total of 1,272 MPS employees had salary and benefit packages worth more than $100,000.
By comparison, the Seattle school district had only 313 employees receiving compensation packages worth at least $100,000 in 2014-15.
The San Francisco district had 769 that year.
All 1,272 of those MPS employees received five-figure benefit packages. The cost of benefits for individuals ranged between $23,000 and $90,000.
...With so many educators making very good money, one might assume that MPS students are getting a great education.
But that’s apparently not the case.
In 2013-14 the district received an overall score of 51.1 on a scale of 100 from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
That means the school district “failed to meet expectations.”
So maybe, just maybe, some of those 1,272 employees are just a bit overpaid?"

Montage: 140 Unfulfilled Obama Promises from Past SOTU Addresses

Montage: 140 Unfulfilled Obama Promises from Past SOTU Addresses :: Grabien - The Multimedia Marketplace:
"... President Obama deliver(ed) his final State of the Union address, which the White House says will refrain from the usual "laundry list" of new proposals. 
That's probably a smart strategy, based on how successfully he's delivered on past State of the Union promises.

Looking back, the numbers aren't pretty. 
From 2009 through 2015, Grabien counts 140 promises that remain unfulfilled. 

We should note that many of these promises are duplicated from one year to another. 
For example, almost every year he has pledged to pass comprehensive immigration reform, overhaul corporate taxes, reduce regulations, and close Guantanamo Bay. 

Don’t have time to read all 140? 
Here are some of the most notable:

• Curing cancer (promised 2009, 2010, 2015)
• Freezing government spending for three years (2010) and five years (2011)
• Colonizing outer space (2015)
• Going “line by line” through the budget, eliminating needless programs (2009, 2010)
• Inventing “material thinner than paper but stronger than steel” (2014)
• Passing health reform that will let Americans keep their insurance (2010)
• Converting sunlight into liquid fuel (2015)
• Passing comprehensive immigration reform (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014)
• Closing Gitmo (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015)
• Ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (2014)
• Passing a law that will prevent mass shootings (2014)
• Keeping earlier promises he’s already made (2013)

The full list is below. Montage above. Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments.

2009

1. The stimulus bill will create 3.5 million jobs over the next few years, 90 percent of which will be in the private sector.

2. Create program that will enable Americans facing foreclosure to lower their mortgage payments and save their homes.

3. Double the supply of renewable energy within the next three years. 

4. The “largest ever” federal spending program on science will yield breakthroughs in energy, medicine, science, and technology.

5. Lay down 1,000s of miles of power lines to connect Americans’ homes to these new sources of energy.

6. Reduce Americans’ energy bills by “billions of dollars.”

7. Cure cancer “in our time.”

8. Use stimulus funds to spend on preventive health care, which will get federal health spending “under control.”

9. Use the savings that result from the stimulus’ reform of health-care to reduce the deficit. 

10. Cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term in office.

11. Go “line by line” through the federal budget to eliminate wasteful and ineffective programs – saving $2 trillion over the next 10 years.

12. Never raise taxes “a single dime” on any family earning less than $250,000.   

13. Stop the growing cost of Medicare and Social Security.

14. Make Social Security sustainable.

15. Create tax-free savings accounts for all Americans.

16. Close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay.

This General Will Probably Be FIRED For What He Just Said About Obama... He Doesn't Care

This General Will Probably Be FIRED For What He Just Said About Obama... He Doesn't Care:

"It’s not the first time senior military officials have clashed with Obama. By the look of things, Kelly’s comments could make him a target of the Obama administration — but it seems clear he’s more willing to tell America the truth than keep his job at any cost.

If only we had more officials like him, perhaps Obama’s social engineering of the military wouldn’t have happened in the first place."

SolarCity and the Silver Spoon

SolarCity and the Silver Spoon - NetRight Daily
If you own a business — maybe a taco stand, a dress shop, or an insurance agency — you know it takes a lot of hard work, good market analysis, a better product or service than your competition, and advertising.
Add in a bit of luck, and you hope to grow your business — though vacant storefronts and boarded up buildings in towns and cities across America show that isn’t always enough. Each going-out-of-business sale represents the death of someone’s dream.
If, however, you are a politically favored business — say solar — your story is different.
Your growth is dependent on government generosity. 
And, when people, who may never buy your product or use your service, balk at underwriting your venture and convince their Congressmen to take away the taxpayer largesse, like a badly behaved toddler, you threaten to take your marbles and go home—leaving former staffers unemployed and customers without service.
Such is the story of SolarCity — which has taken advantage of the favored status and bilked government programs to grow into being the nation’s largest installer of rooftop solar panels.
Despite that distinction, SolarCity still loses millions of dollars.
SolarCity doesn’t manufacturer solar panels — though, thanks to $750 million in funding from New York’s taxpayers — that will soon change....”

Imagine That: Supposedly Mythical 'No-Go Zones' Are Back in the News — But Not at U.S. Media Outlets

Imagine That: Supposedly Mythical 'No-Go Zones' Are Back in the News — But Not at U.S. Media Outlets:
Despite reports and statements containing the term coming out of Germany during the past week, searches at the Associated Press on "no-go zones," and even on "no-go," return nothing. 
The New York Times has no recent report identifying European no-go zones, but has at least demonstrated that it might be getting over its nearly allergic reaction to the term by observing that parts of Ramadi, Iraq recently liberated from Islamic State control are "no-go zones because they have yet to be searched for booby traps left by the jihadists."

"No-go zones" again became news because, despite U.S. media outlets continued denial of their existence, several officials in Germany once again used the term.

After the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris a year ago, Andrew McCarthy usefully and succinctly described no-go zones as follows:

Islamic enclaves ... (in France are) referred to as "no go zones" because the indigenous populations discourage the presence of non-Muslims who do not conform to Islamic standards of dress and social interaction, and of public officials - police, fire-fighters, emergency medical teams, and building inspectors - who are seen as symbols of the state's effort to exercise sovereignty in areas Muslims seek to possess adversely.

...Yet the term "no-go zone" has been virtually blacklisted by the U.S. establishment press..."

Not good-----Bottom falls out on oil, commodities, stocks

Bottom falls out on oil, commodities, stocks - NetRight Daily
West Texas intermediate oil is crashing through its $30 a barrel support level in search of a new bottom, amid the ongoing correction in China, weak demand globally and no signs of production slowing down.
While that is generally good news for consumers of products like gasoline, the worst may be yet to come for oil producers, not just overseas in Saudi Arabia, Iran or Russia, but also including those domestic producers who have been at the heart of the oil shale hydraulic fracturing boom.
Overall, crude is more than 73 percent off its previous high of $116.32 in April 2011.
The $30 support level is already worse than during the financial crisis, when it bottomed at about $39 a barrel in Feb. 2009.
How low could oil go?
“Three major investment banks — Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc. — now expect the price of oil to crash through the $30 threshold and into $20 territory in short order,” reports the Wall Street Journal’s Bradley Olson and Erin Ailworth.
$20 a barrel for oil?
Yikes.
Those are levels not seen since the early 2000s, right at the beginning of the commodities boom that was led by the rapid expansion in emerging markets like China, Brazil and others.
Now that those emerging markets are in a full scale correction, it appears the price of oil is finally reverting to the mean.
But, it’s not just oil.
Food is dropping too.
...With everything seemingly moving in a single direction, perhaps that is why the Royal Bank of Scotland recently issued a client note stating, “Sell everything except high quality bonds. This is about return of capital, not return on capital. In a crowded hall, exit doors are small.”...

BREAKING: US Senate Makes Major Announcement That Concealed Carriers Will LOVE

BREAKING: US Senate Makes Major Announcement That Concealed Carriers Will LOVE:

"With nearly 1.4 million new concealed carry permits being issued each year, it only makes sense that a national reciprocity law be enacted to protect law-abiding holders of CCW permits to cross freely from one state to another without worrying about breaking neighboring state’s gun laws.

Thanks to the newly GOP Senate, such a law could become a reality soon. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn will reintroduce the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act which would allow permit-holding gun owners to carry and lawfully in other states that have concealed carry laws."

San Francisco moves to mandate gender neutral bathrooms

San Francisco moves to mandate gender neutral bathrooms « Hot Air:
Upon reading the headline,
I’m guessing that the first reaction among many of you was something along the lines of, What? You mean they didn’t already?
Because if there’s one place in the country which has traditionally been on the forefront of the SJW movement it’s San Francisco.
How did they not already have a sizable tranche of laws in place mandating what people do in bathrooms, showers and locker rooms?

But shocking as it may seem, they didn’t, and the City Supervisor is on the job, setting things to rights. (Time Magazine)
On Monday, San Francisco Supervisor David Campos took the first substantive steps toward changing that when he announced plans to introduce a bill that would make many city bathrooms gender-neutral.
The measure would mandate that all single-occupancy bathrooms in the city be relabeled as places for all genders, rather than solely “men” or “women,” and that new buildings constructed in the city have a gender-neutral bathroom on each floor. The bill would also go beyond similar laws in other cities by putting in place sweeping enforcement mechanisms, including a complaint process handled by the Human Rights Commission, an LGBT rights organization, and adding these facilities as a standard checklist item for building inspections.
The measure, which is expected to pass easily, will add San Francisco alongside Philadelphia, Seattle, Washington, D.C., West Hollywood, Calif. and Austin, Texas, to the list of cities with gender-neutral bathroom provisions.
This is one of those good news bad news stories and anyone who’s been following the parallel battles around the nation can likely spot the fly in Dave Campos’ ointment right out of the gate.
First the good news: if this is implemented as worded it’s really of no matter to anyone and won’t cause any problems. 
The wording of the proposal simply says that a single user bathroom which is unisex must be provided in government and public spaces.
So what?
Do you know what the difference is between a ladies room with a single stall / sink and a gender neutral bathroom with one stall and sink?
You tear the sign off the door.
When the door is locked it’s occupied.
When it’s not, you open the door, go inside, lock the door and use it regardless of your gender.
No fuss.
No muss.
No problem.
My doctor’s office has two of them just like that and it’s never been an issue.
Now for the bad news.
The Social Justice Warriors will never in a million years be satisfied with that type of statute and Campos is probably already getting an earful over it.
You see, the San Francisco proposal is far too sensible..."

Cry Baby In Chief

By Tammy Derouin

The executive certainly isn’t wasting any time, is he?  The lame wolf has predictably shown his great big eyes, ears, teeth… i.e., his intentions, all the better to devour us and our Constitution.

Just when you think a new low cannot be achieved, Viola! The wolf reaches into his hat of magical tricks to hypnotize and paralyze his dependent audience.  Those who are continuously dazzled by his smoke and mirror act can no longer see true reality. The side effects of buying into so many illusions without questioning the consequences is that eventually you are convinced that the suffocating smoke is necessary to survive and the clean, clear air is destructive.

The executive has dazzled his followers into believing that everything he says is true.  If anything, we should have learned that every statement he makes should be considered highly suspicious and questionable.  Unfortunately, he is rarely questioned.  If he were, he would have been exposed for the charlatan he is, a long time ago.  The press has only helped with the deception by not pressing him for the truth.  Instead, the executive enjoys cream puff questions with no substance.  Unchallenged statements become facts much like false statements become truth simply because they are continuously repeated.

His latest stunt is an embarrassing low.  This past week the executive officially became the Cry Baby In Chief.  He will stop at nothing to impose his will.  If you didn’t see his latest attempt to undermine our Constitution, you missed quite the performance.  He mocked human emotions and intelligence by manufacturing fake tears in yet another attempt to destroy our Second Amendment rights.

This was a performance worth watching.... 

The Why Questions

The Why Questions | The Z Blog:
I’ve had some exposure to corporate security and one of the things I’ve noticed is that much of it is based on what I think of as the “why questions.”
The protection of things like data is based on thinking about why someone would want the data. 
The more obvious the answer the more obvious the reason to guard the data.
Banks put money in vaults because it is obvious why people would steal it.
On the other hand, the great capers are often based on going against the grain of the why questions. For example, why would anyone break into the office of a psychiatrist?
There’s no obvious answer so in most cases the offices are not secure.
Dr. Lewis Fielding’s office was burgled in 1971, because one of his patients was Daniel Ellsberg, a notorious enemy of the people, who was in league with lunatics trying to bring down the government.
This caper from Wall Street is another good example of how “why” questions control how people guard information.
You can be sure there was not a lot of people wondering why hackers would steal press releases, but now we know why and you can be sure the security of such things will be much higher.
The other value of focusing on why questions, one useful for reading the news, is to see who in the press is asking or even thinking about the why questions in a story.
The proof that our press is mostly a public relations department is that they never ask the people in charge a why question. 
They don’t want to know why.
The Hillary e-mail story is a great example of what I’m getting at with the why questions.
The only question to be asked of Hillary and her flaks is “Why did she create a secret, off-the-books, email server?”
The facts show there was a rush to create this thing in time for her to start at the State Department. That was not a random act. 
There’s a reason and knowing the reason is pretty much the entire story.
Now, normal people familiar with the Imperial Capital think they know the answer.
She wanted to avoid FOIA requests and Congressional oversight.
This has become so common in DC with the bureaucracy that it is fair to call it normal. 
When the people in the Borg are plotting malice or mischief, they do it through private chat, e-mail and even Facebook.
Big fish do it strictly to avoid Congress, which is a violation of law by itself..."

Warmest Year on Record Is Still Bad News for Climate Models

Warmest Year on Record Is Still Bad News for Climate Models | Cato @ Liberty
"Yesterday, Jason Samenow of the Washington Post asked me for a brief comment on NOAA’s upcoming pronouncement of the warmest year in their record.
Jason runs CapitalWeather (or “CapitalWeatherGang” or “CWG” to those in the know in Washington) for the Post, and it is a very popular site as he may be the best forecaster around when it comes to D.C.’s hard-to-predict winter weather.
Here is what I sent to him:
Whether or not a given year is a hundredth of a degree or so above a previous record is not the issue. What IS the issue is how observed temperatures compare to what has been forecast to happen. John Christy and Richard McNider, from the University of Alabama (Huntsville), recently compared climate model projections to observed lower atmospheric temperatures as measured by two independent sources: satellites and weather balloons, and they found that the average warming predicted to have occurred since 1979 (when the satellite data starts) is approximately three times larger than what is being observed. 
CWG would give itself probably a D- if it forecast 12 inches of snow and got only 3.
FYI, here’s the comparison, through 2013 (it was published in 2014).

News Station Puts Concealed Carry Permit Holders to the Test in Realistic ‘Good Guys’ vs. ‘Bad Guys’ Scenarios | TheBlaze.com:

"Active shooter situations are usually quick and surprising — so just how prepared are concealed carry holders?

WFAA-TV decided to find out. Building off the National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre’s famous statement that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” the news station decided to put a group of “good guys” to the test and enlisted the help of Shawn Clary, a SWAT team member and tactical instructor with 22 years experience as a “bad guy.”
