 DOJ Planning Next Assault on Gun Rights 
If Barack nObama can't push gun control through the nation's lawmaking body, then he'll pile on the regulations. By November, the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are expected to finalize regulations that would restrict who is qualified to exercise their Second Amendment rights. "The regulations range from new restrictions on high-powered pistols to gun storage requirements," The Hill reports. "Chief among them is a renewed effort to keep guns out of the hands of people who are mentally unstable or have been convicted of domestic abuse. … As proposed, the regulation makes it illegal for some who has been convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense to own a gun." The Left has been test firing these regulations since 1998, but it is revising the proposed regulation binge because of Sandy Hook and "public health." Furthermore, what constitutes domestic assault and mental illness is subject to social mores, and rights guaranteed by the Constitution are not tied to majority rule.   -The Patriot Post

 Patriot Act Expires After Last-Minute Senate Fight 
The Senate allowed the Patriot Act to expire Sunday after opposition, led by Rand Paul, derailed the efforts of Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell to renew the act and endorse the NSA's mass metadata collection efforts. The chamber did, however, vote 77-17 to take up the House-passed USA Freedom Act, which would revise the Patriot Act to specifically prohibit the NSA's domestic spying program — a program ruled illegal by a federal court. Unfortunately, congressional efficiency being what it is, leadership waited too late to bring either bill up for debate, almost ensuring unnecessary drama. That means the good of the Patriot Act was thrown out with the bad. Yet as Reuters reports, "Intelligence experts say a lapse of only a few days would have little immediate effect. The government is allowed to continue collecting information related to any foreign intelligence investigation that began before the deadline." Fighting terrorists is critical, but collecting data from every American to create the proverbial haystack doesn't strike us as an efficient or trustworthy way to go about doing that. And it's time Congress took its national security responsibly more seriously than leaving important work to the last minute.   -The Patriot Post

  O'Malley Officially Challenges Hilly  
The symbolism was a bit off, or a telling example of what the future may hold if Martin O'Malley wins the White House. With the Baltimore skyline in the background, the former mayor of the city announced announced Saturday that he would seek the Democrat nomination for president. Between the idealistic socialist Bernie Sanders and the conniving politician Hilly Clinton, O'Malley doesn't seem to have much of a chance winning the Democrat Party's horse race. Publisher of the Rothenberg and Gonzales Political Report, Stuart Rothenberg, told the Baltimore Sun, "The only way he's going to have a path, is if [Clinton] stumbles. Right now, it's not about O'Malley and I don't believe it ever will be about O'Malley." While we know Clinton's track record on foreign policy, we know O'Malley's track record on domestic issues through his leadership in Maryland. It was he that brought tough, zero-tolerance policing to Baltimore — the policing strategy that contributed to the riots that recently rocked the city. Furthermore, it was the guitar-playing politician's progressive economic strategies as governor that drowned Maryland in taxes and waterlogged the state's economic engine. That economic policy caused Maryland to have the third slowest economic growth of all the states from 2011 to 2013, The Wall Street Journal reports — something the nation's economy cannot bear after years of implementing nObama's economic ideas.  -The Patriot Post

 Breaking the Tyranny of DC Gun Laws 
The left-wing ruling class in the District of Columbia continues its relentless fight against the God-given freedom recognized by the Second Amendment — the right to bear arms, the palladium of liberties. Of course, to the Left, the thought of a constitutional right that doesn’t involve the redefinition of marriage or legalizing the dismemberment of a baby in the womb seems ludicrous.
          This chapter in the ongoing saga revolves around a federal judge’s ruling last July that overturned the city’s 40-year ban on carrying firearms for self-defense. In response to the ruling, the leftist DC government designed a very restrictive right-to-carry permit process — one that approved as few applications as possible.
          That, too, has been struck down in a federal decision joining the Supreme Court's 2008 Heller ruling that overturned the District of Columbia’s complete ban on handgun ownership. Since that restoration of rights, over 3,000 handguns have been registered in DC, but only for use in protecting one’s home.  -The Patriot Post

 United Church of Christ and The "Big Lie"  
(Susan Warner) ~ In just a few weeks, on June 26-30, the opening gavel will sound on United Church of Christ (UCC) General Synod. Two of the many proposals this national Synod will entertain call on the church to divest from Israel, and one of them will propose declaring that Israel's actions towards the Palestinians constitute "apartheid."... The UCC, representing approximately 1.2 million members in 5,100 churches in the USA, is just one of the member churches of the World Council of Churches (WCC), which insists on making Israel the whipping boy of a misguided "peace and justice" agenda. In June, UCC member delegates will have an opportunity to determine the direction of their denomination. Sadly, the UCC delegates' choices regarding Israel will be based on documents, "proofs" and appeals built upon a foundation of lies, false choices and political fantasies that accuse Israel of being an "Apartheid State" and an "illegal occupier of Palestinian land."       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5862/united-church-of-christ

 Pentagon’s aviation plan headed for a dead stick landing  
(Mackenzie Eaglen) ~ It is time for Congress to end the charade and throw out the Pentagon’s annual aviation report—or demand that it be fixed... Otherwise, the plan will remain an expensive waste of time for both its readers and its writers. It has changed over time, making comparisons from year to year near impossible and rendering the document indecipherable. The report remains a messy and near-useless product that spurns the demand of Congress for a reliable assessment and outlook of America’s military aviation fleets. Further, these shortcomings are likely obscuring the extent of the problems of a smaller, older Air Force that faces currently insurmountable budgetary challenges in the next decade. Even through the fog of inadequate data, policymakers can tell that the Air Force is in a far worse position than previous plans estimated it would be in at this point in time. Saving America’s Air Force should be the focus of Congress, as that is the only true way to turn its aviation health (and reporting) around.       http://www.aei.org/publication/pentagon-aviation-report-dead-stick-landing/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=060115

 Deception Or Delusion? nObama Claims US Most Respected Country 
(rickwells.us) ~ nObama may be conducting his own opinion polls on the side, phrasing the questions in just the right manner as to elicit the desired response. It’s either that or he’s gone completely insane, or he’s just lying through his teeth again... Whatever the reason, nObama is inexplicably claiming that the United States is more respected now than it was when he took office. He then embarks on a fanciful trip into his world of make believe, explaining how wonderful he is and just how he imagines he was able to turn things around for us. Charles Krauthammer has a different opinion, as do a majority of world leaders and any clear-headed, rational thinking Americans. He cites a long list of examples as to why the nObama drivel is not a true statement, both as it relates to foreign policy and our problems domestically. He is insane.   http://rickwells.us/deception-or-delusion-obama-claims-us-now-most-respected-country-on-earth/

 West Wing Livid Over Military Revolt  
(gopthedailydose.com) ~ White House staff are reportedly livid following a series of publicly aired disagreements between President nObama and top military officials... Things became so bad this afternoon, a senior White House adviser is said to have yelled out during a phone conference with a group of Senate Democrats, “You remind those assh*les who they take orders from!” Two days earlier it was the top military officer in the nation, Army General Martin Dempsey, who informed Congress ground troops were to be a viable option in the war against ISIS. For days Barack nObama had stated publicly ground troops were not an option.     http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/06/01/developing-west-wing-livid-over-military-revolt-you-remind-those-asshles-who-they-take-orders-from/

 nObama Releases Lead Balloon – Pitches Iran Nuclear Arms  
(rickwells.us) ~ nObama is presenting his case that the best way to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons is to sign his deal that gives them nuclear weapons... He’s got his work cut out for him; it’s a tough sell. In a Friday interview with Israel’s Channel 2 television reporter Ilana Dayan, nObama said that a “verifiable, tough agreement” on nuclear weapons is the best deal for Israel and the world. That might be the case, but a verifiable and tough agreement is not what he’s “negotiated” with Iran. He’s put them on a timetable to nuclear weapons in fifteen years, with Iran refusing to allow compliance verification through on-site inspections. What he’s give Israel and the world is simply a nuclear weapons development agreement. To label it anything else is pure deception. nObama argues that military action won’t work to stop Iran. One thing we’ve learned after six years under this restrictive, bent-on-failure commander-in-chief, is that nothing works, militarily, under his direction. Yes indeed, he is insane.       http://rickwells.us/obama-releases-lead-balloon-pitches-iran-nuclear-arms-giveaway-to-israel-media

 Few Takers--Hilly Allows Men Buy Tkts. To Event 'Just For Women'  
(Jeff Dunetz) ~ What happens when you throw a fund raiser and nobody buys tickets? Well if you are Hilly Clinton you "invite" men... Successful attorney and champion of many liberal causes Silda Wall Spitzer (who is also the ex wife of client #9 Elliot Spitzer) threw a $2,700-per-person, “just for women” meeting with the presumptive Democratic Party nominee yesterday in New York, New York, the city so liberal they tax you twice.  Because there weren't enough rich/powerful women who felt like attending, at the very last minute they invited men to fill the 60% of the seats still unsold.       http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/06/no-one-wanted-to-go-so-hillary-allows.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=79bfb70930-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-79bfb70930-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-79bfb70930-291705165

Clinton-Foundation-Credit-Card--124117.jpg
 Hilly Gave Sweetheart Arms Deals To Clinton Foundation Donors  
(Jeff Dunetz) ~ Here's an interesting coincidence, countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation "just happened" to get approvals for a bigger cache of weapons from the Hilly Clinton-run Department than the countries that didn't donate... And the real interesting part about this revelation was it was discovered and published by the ultra-liberal Salon. The Secretary of State is in charge of “the continuous supervision and general direction of sales” of arms, military hardware and services to foreign countries. In practice, that meant that Clinton was charged with rejecting or approving weapons deals — and when it came to Clinton Foundation donors, Hilly Clinton’s State Department did a whole lot of approving."       http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/06/hillary-gave-sweetheart-arms-deals-to.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=79bfb70930-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-79bfb70930-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-79bfb70930-291705165

 nObama Silent? PA TV Teaching Kids Jews Are Barbaric Monkeys  
(Jeff Dunetz) ~ Remember on Israel's election day when President nObama flipped out when  Bibi Netanyahu complained that, "Arab voters are going en masse to the polls” and thus threatening the country’s “rightwing government."... Netanyahu didn't say stop them from voting he said so my supporters better come out and vote.  But that still is only part of what Bibi said soon after the video was posted, Netanyahu clarified that “what’s wrong is not that Arab citizens are voting, but that massive funds from abroad from left-wing NGOs and foreign governments are bringing them en masse to the polls in an organized way, thus twisting the true will of all Israeli citizens who are voting, for the good of the Left.” President nObama had a cow over what he claimed was Bibi's racism.  But if nObama is so concerned with racism why isn't he slamming the Palestinians for what they call Jews their official TV network? As reported by Palwatch.org:       http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/06/why-is-obama-silent-palestinian-tv.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=79bfb70930-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-79bfb70930-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-79bfb70930-291705165

 Congressman: Fourth Amendment “Is Not Absolute”  
(Suzanne Hamner) ~ In these trying days of political dog and pony shows with every Mitch, hanoi John and Nancy telling the American people what the Constitution says... it behooves every American to have a couple of copies of the Constitution of the united States of America and read it thoroughly, each time some politicians tells you what's in it. The latest interpretation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution has been brought forth by Sen. Angus King (I-ME). According to Sen. King, the Fourth amendment "is not absolute." Sen. King stated, "But the Fourth Amendment is not absolute. It said people shall be free of unreasonable searches and seizures. We are always trying to strike the balance between those two principles, in light of risk and in light of technology." It seems Sen. King left out a great deal of information imparted by the Fourth Amendment.       http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/06/congressman-fourth-amendment-is-not-absolute/

 Hamas-Affiliated Group Wins Seat on UN Body  
(investigativeproject.org) ~ A United Nations (UN) committee on Monday awarded "observer" status to a UK-based Palestinian organization, which advocates for Israel's destruction, Fox Newsreports... The Palestinian Return Centre (PRC), which allegedly serves as a Hamas front, earned the important designation on the UN Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), enabling the radical group to receive official UN badges and complete access to UN facilities. The PRC's new status also allows it to partake in UN debates in New York, Geneva, and Vienna. The UN Committee features a 19-member panel including countries notorious for committing human rights violations such as Iran, Sudan, Pakistan, Venezuela, Russian, and China.        http://www.investigativeproject.org/4862/hamas-affiliated-group-wins-seat-on-un-body

A Bush-League Candidate
Burt Prelutsky
.
.
     (burtprelutsky.com) - When Megyn Kelly asked Jeb Bush if he would, knowing what we know now, have invaded Iraq in 2003, it was not a gotcha question. She is not a liberal shill looking to eviscerate every GOP presidential candidate. She was actually giving him the opportunity to separate himself from his big brother, even though big brother George had already said that absent faulty intelligence, he would not have gone after Saddam Hussein.
.
     Jeb’s problem was that, like most politicians, he prefers the sound of his own voice to that of all others. He was so anxious to give his canned answer that he tuned out the all-important “Knowing what we know now.” The fact is we have all misheard and misspoken on occasion. The problem is that he didn’t immediately say, “Oh, sorry, Megyn, I was preoccupied, worrying about my father’s failing health” or something equally self-serving. Instead, he and his people wasted a few days trying to make sense of his response.
.
     In other words, like every other political hack, he relies on his staff to translate what he says into coherent speech. Frankly, I am sick of political handlers and spin-masters speaking on behalf of the political lamebrains. As I said, we have all committed verbal transgressions, but we didn’t job it out to twenty other people to explain what we meant to say. We did it ourselves.
.
     The more these buffoons rely on others to smooth over their gaffes, the less respect I have for them. And in some cases, you’d think that would be virtually impossible.
.
     ♦ Liberals are always accusing those of us on the Right, and I might add “in the right,” of confusing societal issues with political matters. They’re the ones who push for same-sex marriages; for abortions on demand, even for teenagers, even into the 35th week; and for an abandonment of drug enforcement laws; and then when conservatives push back, they cry “Foul!” Worse yet, they accuse us of bringing religion into politics, and even lambaste clerics for speaking out on moral issues.
.
     Political life is often determined by unpredictable events beyond our control. After all, in January, 2001, when he was sworn in, George Bush had no idea that within eight months, an Islamic sneak attack on New York’s Twin Towers would toss his political agenda out the window.
.
     On the other hand, when it comes to public policy dealing with moral issues, those are eternal matters, involving our values and our religious freedom.
.
     Speaking of liberals, they are constantly telling us that they’re the ones providing safety nets for the neediest and most vulnerable Americans; what they neglect to mention, however, is that it’s their economic programs and regulations that necessitate all those damn nets in the first place.
.
     ♦ But it’s not fair to simply blame the Democrats. After all, after 50 years, if 95% of blacks continue to vote for the presidents, senators, congressmen and mayors, who have profited from their dependency, you can’t argue that they’re blameless. And when Al Sharpton continues to show up at the riots and to further inflame the mob, and not once get tarred-and-feathered or ridden out of town on a rail, it becomes increasingly difficult to give the black masses a pass.
.
     In the bad old days, when generals were given to ordering their troops into suicidal missions (“Into the Valley of Death rode the 600”), soldiers were referred to as cannon fodder. It meant that their lives were inconsequential; that the only point of their needless deaths was to somehow reflect gloriously on the be-medaled frauds who watched them die from atop hills far from the bloodletting.
.
Today, the Democrats might as well refer to their black constituents as ballot fodder.
.
     ♦ The latest sign of the times is that in Oakland, CA, because so many black students are being suspended from school for cussing, mouthing off to teachers, fighting and unexcused absences from class, the city and school administrators have decided that the solution is to suspend suspensions. They will also end expulsions and transfers to other schools for multiple infractions.
.
     As I see it, they’re merely picking up on my suggestion to reduce crime in the inner-city by decriminalizing theft, rape and murder. So perhaps I’m partly to blame. It just never occurred to me that when I make jokes, Democrats would take them seriously.
.
     ♦ But it’s not just vote-trolling liberals who pamper and coddle the thugs. I mean, when the nuts from the Westboro Baptist Church disrupt military funerals, the media readily acknowledges that they’re a bunch of inbred misfits. However, when urban blacks chant: “What do we want? Dead cops!” we see elected officials defend them, and from the collective media we hear nary a word of moral condemnation.
.
     ♦ Another bone I’d like to pick with Democrats involves their parroting the demand that everyone pay his fair share of taxes. For one thing, there’s no such thing, especially when tens of millions of Americans not only don’t pay taxes, but receive some of the money the rest of us have to fork over. Besides, the federal government is no better than a drunken spendthrift, and could make out very nicely with half of what it receives if it didn’t waste so much of the dough we’re compelled to send to the IRS.
.
     But as if all that’s not bad enough, some of the loudest voices we hear calling for higher and higher taxes belong to such tax scofflaws as Charley Rangel, Warren Buffet, Al Sharpton and Timothy Geithner, liberals all.
.
     For a change, I would like to hear angry voices raised in Washington, D.C., as well as in our various state legislatures, about all those welfare junkies who don’t do their fair share of work. Or any work, come to think of it.
.
     ♦ Recently, as a great many people know, my computer was hacked and, as a result, they all received news about some product or service that had allegedly been mentioned by Oprah Winfrey. Of course they weren’t fooled. For one thing, the email address wasn’t mine. For another, I recall quite clearly how hard she sold Barack nObama in 2008, so I would never take her word about anything.
.
     But when one of the email recipients wrote to me, just to make certain I hadn’t sent it, I assured him he could rest easy. I went on to say that I would make all crimes that people commit for no other reason than to annoy other people, capital offenses. Why not? There are over seven billion of us, so we can easily afford to start thinning the herd of troublemakers. It would not only make life far more pleasant for the rest of us, but it would open up a lot of additional parking spaces and speed up the lines at the supermarket.
