Why Won't House Democrats Stop the Coming Tax Hike?

The answer of course is simple: the lame liberal ducks want their revenge for being cast out of power, and the next few weeks are their last chance to get even with America.

God Help Me, I Agree with Greenwald

My feelings about U.S. Army PFC Bradley Manning are well documented by The Google, which has my blog entries Let's Try Bradley Manning for Treason and Brad Manning, I Hope They Hang You High being the #1 and #2 search results for a search on "Bradley Manning traitor."

In my opinion, by turning over that massive amount of data to a foreign national—including the names of agents and informants that are risking their lives to help our efforts against terrorism—Manning's treason is on par with Benedict Arnold's treasonous attempt to hand West Point to the British. If I had my way, Manning would have a swift and just trial by a military court martial, be found justly guilty of treason by the overwhelming preponderance of evidence against him, and then executed.

I detest Bradley Manning... but the extended solitary confinement he has endured before even being tried sounds very much like prisoner abuse.


From the beginning of his detention, Manning has been held in intensive solitary confinement. For 23 out of 24 hours every day -- for seven straight months and counting -- he sits completely alone in his cell. Even inside his cell, his activities are heavily restricted; he's barred even from exercising and is under constant surveillance to enforce those restrictions. For reasons that appear completely punitive, he's being denied many of the most basic attributes of civilized imprisonment, including even a pillow or sheets for his bed (he is not and never has been on suicide watch).

If Manning had been convicted of a capital offense, I would not have such misgivings about his treatment, but treating him to this kind of behavior before he is even tried seems extreme. Do we treat even treat violent murder and rape suspects in the military with pre-trial solitary confinement for months on end like Manning has experienced?

Give him his day in court, and if he is found guilty, put him back in a small isolated cell for the rest of his life or strap him to a gurney and let the drip-drip-drip of poison end him. If convicted, pin a target to his chest and let a firing squad deliver justice.

But Bradley Manning, traitorous little bastard that I suspect him to be, is still entitled to defend himself in court, and it seems to go beyond the pale to treat him in the manner Greenwald describes and that the military doesn't dispute.

He deserves better that this, and as a nation of free men, we must demand better for the sake of our own souls, if not for his.

Horrors! Media Matters Freaks Over Email From Fox News Executive That Calls For Accuracy in Reporting on Climate Change

Lighten up, Francis:


In the midst of global climate change talks last December, a top Fox News official sent an email questioning the "veracity of climate change data" and ordering the network's journalists to "refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question."

Unless you've been living under a rock—or inhabit a cultish, community-based reality—you are well aware that the "science" of climate change science is being hotly debated, and has been for several years. This has been exacerbated by allegations of climate change scientists hiding and/or manipulating data, and of course the heavily-politicized nature of the subject.

Is it a scandal to point out that contested theories are, in fact, hotly contested?

It is for Media Matters, just one of along line of activist groups that has decided that using the near-certain threat of short-term ecological disaster is a great way to establish control over the general population in the service of their wider agenda.

Despite protestations to the contrary by those with vested political and financial interests, climate change science is a field of study in its infancy with significant room for debate.

Asking for reporters to note the controversial nature of climate science claims is the only responsible position for a news manager to take.

The real question Media Matters should be asked is why they refuse to push for that kind of transparency in other news agencies.

Justice Breyer Lays Down His Cards

Pajamas Media was kind enough to publish a piece I wrote about Fox News Sunday's interview with US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer on December 11th. Justice Breyer revealed himself to be a stereotypical leftist believer in a "living, breathing, Constitution," which is essentially Progressive-speak for ignoring the Constitution in favor of implementing Progressive policies. The article may be read here.

So That's What You Meant...Right?

One of the joys of teaching high school English is reading student writing. While many teachers in other disciplines recoil in horror at the amount of reading and grading English teachers do, we tend to enjoy it because it is in student writing that we see their progress and share their epiphanies, their sudden bursts of insight and understanding. On the other hand, we also experience the kind of linguistic pile-ups that can leave a sentence, a paragraph, even an entire essay battered and bleeding.

Over the years, I’ve taken to collecting the bruised victims of those collisions, and rather than patching them up, I cruelly allow them to live as written for the mirth and merriment of others. Sometimes, I can infer what a student actually meant. Often, well, there’s just no telling. You’ll see what I mean.

For your Christmas merriment, enjoy the small gift of these sixty examples of good intentions, yet bizarre accomplishments, from my students!

Anybody Bought Ammo Here?

The Sportsman's Guide has been used by my family over the years for stuff like hunting boots and camping gear, but I also noticed they seem to have a decent selection of ammunition, at what seems to be reasonable prices.

I'm getting low on 9mm practice ammo, and am due for a carry ammo refresh as well.

Has anyone bought from them before? Are their shipping rates and shipping times as reasonable as their prices seem to be?

Did Harry Reid's Incompetence Doom Obamacare?

A VA judge has struck down the individual mandate, and a mistake by the Democratic Senate may leave the entire law undone as a result.

If this ruling (certain to be appealed) stands, would Obamacare really be dead?

WaPo Reprises the "90% Lie", Whines for Selective, Ineffective BATF

The Washington Post rehashed the infamous and oft-debunked Mexican Gun Canard again this morning in a story they laughably call an "exclusive."

The only thing exclusive about this fabrication is that they are the only fools outside of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave still pushing it.


The foundation and the National Rifle Association aggressively challenge statistics that show 80 to 90 percent of the weapons seized in Mexico are first sold in the United States, calling the numbers highly inflated. After being criticized by the gun lobby, ATF stopped releasing such statistics this year.

"To suggest that U.S. gun laws are somehow to blame for Mexican drug cartel violence is a sad fantasy," said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action.

Cox said guns are coming to Mexico from other Central American countries and from former Mexican soldiers who have U.S. weapons and are now working for the cartels.

ATF disagreed, saying the biggest factors are the high number of dealers along the border and the convenient location.

When the Post reporter claims that the "ATF disagreed," he doesn't speak for the entire agency, just a regional supervisor that is either pushing a political agenda or lacks the big picture. Either way, his superiors have overruled his opinion with facts for over a year.


The myth that legal guns sales in the United States are responsible for Mexican drug cartel violence took another serious blow last week when an ATF official testified in Congress that only eight percent of weapons recovered in Mexico came through licensed U.S. gun dealers.

This figure is far lower than the 90 percent claim made previously as an appeal to reinstate ineffective gun laws that expired in 2004. The claim — still active among the less informed or serially dishonest — officially became myth during congressional testimony last week when Bill McMahon, deputy assistant director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, revealed the eight percent figure, how it was calculated, and where the 90 percent myth arose from.

Of the 100,000 weapons recovered by Mexican authorities, only 18,000 were determined to have been manufactured, sold, or imported from the United States, and of those 18,000, just 7,900 came from sales by licensed gun dealers.

The Post can't even get through their accompanying photo gallery without exposing their dishonesty; this FN MAG this South African Vector SS-77 machine gun certainly didn't come from a U.S. gun store.

Let's be clear: I am personally of the opinion that too many guns are heading south of the border from the United States, but the media and Administrations in both the U.S. and Mexico need to be honest. The number of guns imported from this country is dwarfed by the number of guns sold, stolen or given to the cartels by Mexican law enforcement and military sources, and from black market smuggling from Central and South America and Asia. You simply cannot get the machine guns and grenades the cartels favor in the United States. They come from corruption in Mexico and the same pipeline that bring in drugs from overseas.

The rest of the article is a complaint about just how dang hard it is for the ATF to prosecute criminals.

Bull.

You can give them all sorts of evidence, including pictures of felons with a gun in their hands, and they will actively fight against prosecuting them.

This article is about politics, not crime prevention.

Update: Per Big Country's expert eye, I've updated the post to correct the machine gun type in the photo. I await with baited breath for the media to explain how an American gun store is responsible for a weapon that cannot be sold on these shores.

Last Thing

© Brigid Durham

That last thing I saw was the a sliver of winter sky through a haze of gunpowder.

The last thing I heard was the report of fire, one last wild spurring of colors made sound, then silence.

The last thing I felt was an intake of breath, air drawing deep into me. I don't remember the exhale. I thought nothing could reach me. I never knew what hit me.

The Magic and Miracles of "Messiah"

It is, once again, the season of Christmas. Many people of many faiths celebrate the season. Some as a profound religious observance, others to take part in the giving, the music, the colors, sights, smells and tastes. But all can share in a centuries old tradition: George Fredrich Handel’s ‘Messiah.” A small taste of the magic of Messiah can be seen here. While I delight in sharing the honor of blogging here with Bob and Brigid, I delight too in sharing another honor, that of regularly performing with a fine choir and symphony orchestra. I thought it might be interesting, at this time of year, for our readers to experience a performance of “Messiah” from the stage, and to learn of its history, through the eyes of a classically trained singer, a first tenor, one of the many of the chorus. It is surely being performed near you. If you've never experienced it, you owe it to yourself and to your family to take advantage of the opportunity.

The Handy-Dandy, All-Purpose Entrapment Defense

On December 8, Muhammed Hussein--Antonio Martinez before his conversion to Islam--was arrested by the FBI. But why? Was the evil FBI engaging in racist, anti-Muslim profiling? Not unless one considers arresting Hussein after he actually tried to detonate a bomb which was, thankfully, an FBI supplied fake, at a Baltimore County military recruiting facility to be racist, anti-Muslim profiling.

This is yet another in a series of good catches on the part of law enforcement, catches wherein dedicated, home-grown jihadists, have been discovered and intercepted before they could actually kill innocent Americans on American soil. This is the good news. The bad news is that, as always, we have to be lucky every time and everywhere, and the jihadists have to be lucky only once and only here and there. This situation also illuminates a danger to which America is uniquely susceptible due to, as usual, politically correct good intentions. I’ll explore that danger and an effective, easily implemented fix to largely remove it as a danger in a multi-part series in the near future, but for this post, the issue raised by Hussein and his supporters is: Entrapment.

Entrapment is a term much bandied about, particularly by common criminals, defense attorneys, creatures of the left, community activists and organizers and increasingly, by jihadists. It’s an easy charge to make and one easily believed because most Americans don’t know what it actually is. Even the always annoying and often disgusting Geraldo Rivera--he of the Snidely Whiplash mustache--joined in the entrapment game, perhaps because of a race-based knee-jerk reflex toward defending Hispanic criminals. Appearing on the O’Reily Factor shortly after Hussein’s arrest, Rivera sagely observed that Hussein/Martinez was “just a gullible youngster,” and of course, accused the FBI of entrapment. Hussein, by the way, is 21.

The ‘Lectric Law Library provides a useful, and quite commonly understood, definition of entrapment (here):

And Just Like That, Bill Clinton Became President Again

Surreal:




"I've never seen anything like that," said MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur after cutting back following a press conference on the tax plan. It had begun with a surprise appearance by President Obama who then brought in a further surprise, none other than Bill Clinton, to help him explain the deal. However, after introducing Clinton and letting him begin to talk, Obama suddenly announced that he was leaving for a Christmas party and vanished, letting Clinton talk for 25 more minutes as if it was 1996! I guess it could have been worse. Obama could have left to go play hoops.

Seriously, what was the thinking here? This has to be one of the worst PR moves in the entirety of the administration. Obviously, Clinton is probably a more popular Democratic figure right now, but they had to imagine this would hurt Obama. I mean, letting a former president explain your tax bill while you head to a Christmas party? A Christmas party?

Consider this a test-abdication, of what could be the first Presidency ever quit by a POTUS who has come to the realization that he simply isn't up to the job for which he campaigned.

Betting sites should start odds-making on whether or not Barack Obama will simply quit the Oval Office, after discovering that governing is simply not something he has the intelligence, fortitude, or experience to do successfully.

Do I personally think Obama would quit the Presidency? No, not at all.

But then, I didn't expect him to leave Bill Clinton in charge at his press conference while he scurried away like a hen-pecked weakling, either.

Make sure you read Mike's take on this bizarre incident as well.

"It's Deja Vu All Over Again"

So said everyman’s philosopher, Yogi Berra. But it was “The Onion,” during the Clinton years, that wrote the immortal headline: “President Clinton To Feel Nation’s Pain, Breasts.” And just when Americans thought it was safe for wholesome, American breasts to once again roam free, the man responsible for diminishing the office of the presidency more than anyone ever thought possible poked his head into the White House Press Room and said “I’m baaaaaaaccckkk!”

For those just emerging from Afghan caves, President Obama met with President Clinton at the White House today. After their meeting, Mr. Obama held a press conference, accompanied by President Clinton. That’s when things got weird. Mr. Obama abruptly excused himself to attend a Christmas event, leaving Mr. Clinton to continue the press conference, which, as Mr. Clinton is prone to do, ran substantially longer than any press conference Mr. Obama has ever held. Words such as bizarre, surreal, inexplicable, even bull goose looney seem inadequate to describe the spectacle of Mr. Clinton, once again standing before the press in the White House, calmly and authoritatively taking questions as though he was still POTUS, as though he had--shudder--never left.

While Mr. Obama has certainly inflicted substantial pain on America with a great deal more to come as Obamacare, the bill we had to pass to discover its contents is, bit by bit, revealed, Mr. Clinton’s blast from the past was surely one of the strangest things ever done by any American president. Even for a President as utterly inexperienced and politically tone deaf as Mr. Obama, this was truly an epic feat, ironically accompanied today by the announcement by Gallup of the lowest ever approval ratings for Mr. Obama.

It’s well known that Mr. Obama is simply bored with the trivialities of the Presidency while simultaneously having no idea of the importance of related symbols. But can Mr. Obama actually be so empty-headed as to fail to grasp the symbolism of leaving his own press conference and turning it over to only the second president in US history ever to be impeached? At a time when Iran is planning to install missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads to America in Venezuela, when Iran is impeded in its quest for those warheads only by a computer virus, when the Koreas could be at war at any second, when even fourth rate nations feel free to insult and ignore America, when our nation is going bankrupt faster that Mr. Clinton could take a congressional phone call while simultaneously undergoing a, ahem, presidential staffing, America is in desperate need of strong, adult leadership. So Mr. Obama turns it over to Bill Clinton.

America’s only hope is that this is just a temporary glimpse into an alternate reality, or perhaps we are reliving a bad episode of “The Twilight Zone,” and as soon as we change the channel, it will all go away. The alternative is that Mr. Clinton will, all too soon, have an unimaginable amount of American pain to feel. American breasts, widely believed to be under wraps, could not be reached for a comment.

So, is Someone in Hot Water at the BATF?

After publishing Felons Can’t Own Guns. So How Did This Guy Acquire Three … Gun Companies? in October at Pajamas Media, I reached out to the BATF in an effort to try to understand why convicted felon Lee Franklin Booth hadn't been arrested for what appear to be clear violations of federal gun laws.

Several weeks later, after questions had reverberated from Washington, DC to the regional office overseeing the Carolinas, I was contacted by Charlotte-based BATF Special Agent and Public Information Officer (PIO) Earl Woodham on November 2.

I had a cordial 20-minute preliminary conversation with Agent Woodham outlining my concerns. He seemed to think that the regulatory end of the ATF had investigated Victory Arms before, but wanted to read the article. He said he was "getting hammered by a chain of inter-agency emails" and wanted to resolve the issue. At the same time, he understood that the Pardon of Forgiveness Booth was given would not allow him to possess firearms, and found that perplexing.

In that initial conversation—based upon my description of what we'd revealed—Woodham seemed to be of the opinion Booth had probably violated the law.

The cordial tone was gone from our next conversation, a very clipped and formal affair where Agent Woodham told me that after conferring with his colleagues (fellow BATF agents in Charlotte and Greensboro), that they had "no interest" in pursuing an investigation against Mr. Booth.

The abrupt shift in the official BATF response from Agent Woodham was stunning. I thought about his response, and wrote back to him in an attempt to clarify and understand the agency's position.


Good afternoon Agent Woodham,

I just want to make sure that I am accurately citing the BATF's position regarding Lee Booth and the allegations we've made against him in our Pajamas Media article and during our telephone conversations last week.

It is the BATF's position that Lee Franklin Booth is a convicted felon, and that his Pardon of Forgiveness does not restore his right to own firearms.

It is the BATF's position that the agency has looked into Lee Franklin Booth's business relationship with Detonics USA Industries, Inc,, Victory Arms, Inc, and the Victory Arms acquisition of Templar Consulting, and have found that while Booth is listed as a principle officer in these corporate entities in legal documents as CEO, and/or President, and that eyewitness testimony will reveal that he ran day-to-day operations of at least Victory/Templar out of a property that he owns, that this felon's involvement with these companies was not a crime, even though these associations appear to be in direct violation of 18 USC 923 and 18 USC 922(g) which both recognize Booth as clearly being a "prohibited person."

It is the BATF's position that a photo of convicted felon Lee Franklin Booth holding a pair of Detonics pistols, taken January 6, 2007 at 1:41:04 with a SONY DSC-T5 camera belonging to Lee Franklin Booth, witnessed by two individuals currently in possession of the photo, and willing to testify in a court of law that Booth both held and fired those firearms, is not worth additional investigation.

It is the BATF's position that the agency has no obligation to determine if Lee Franklin Booth illegally obtained a concealed carry permit in Guilford County, even though his attorney Dan Hardway of Angier, NC freely admitted Booth was issued a permit by the Guilford County Sheriff's Department in discussions with Pajamas Media legal counsel.

It is the BATF's position that all auditors and agents within the Greensboro, NC, BATF office followed the letter of the law and were not in any way influenced by Lee Franklin Booth's relationship with an IRS CID agent who administers the Victory Arms/Templar page on Facebook, and who restricted the public version of the site and his own personal Facebook page after the Pajamas Media article posted, even though he was never cited in the article.

It is the BATF's position that documentation amassed by the Pajamas Media legal team that apparently shows Booth in violation of federal and state laws, including an internal exhibit within Skipper and Detonics vs. Booth and Detonics Consent Order, Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction, labeled "Exhibit B," lists by serial number the 23 firearms Lee Franklin Booth took into his personal possession, is not something the agency is interested in reviewing, based upon the BATF's previous investigations into these allegations.

It is the BATF's position that their investigation into Lee Booth and his involvement is thorough, and that no further investigation is warranted.

Thank you very much for your time and clarifications on this matter. I want to document the BATF position precisely for my next article.

I then forwarded the same letter to BATF-Washington as well.

Agent Woodham never responded.

Someone else did.

On November 15 I spoke with Jan Kemp of the BATF Public Affairs office after being asked to call the agency's main number in Washington. I provided her with a copy of the above letter, and mentioned that I had questions I was trying to address regarding the kind of discharge Mr. Booth received from the Marines while in prison, and the status of the two Federal Firearms Licenses for Victory Arms. We also informed her of the expert analysis that confirmed the validity of a photo in the original article showing Mr. Booth literally gun in hand.

Two days later Ms. Kemp graciously wrote back to say that she was sorry, "but I don't have anything to tell you regarding this matter."

I wrote back:


Jan,

That is a very, very interesting response, and I do want to be fair in my characterization of it (nuance is lost via email very easily).

Is it the BATF's position that they do not owe the public an explanation for why field agents and supervisory agents in the Charlotte and Greensboro offices are purposefully declining to enforce clear and direct violations of criminal statutes in the case of Lee Booth, even though they agree (and I speak of Supervisory Agent Earl Woodham) he is a felon that cannot own guns?

Or are you saying that the BATF doesn't have anything to tell me because you do not comment on current investigations?

Ms. Kemp then replied, "ATF does not confirm or deny the existence of investigations." I've been told by various law enforcement sources that such a statement typically confirms the existence of an investigation. In this case, that might include an internal investigation of the Charlotte and Greensboro offices themselves.

It appears that before all is said and done, Lee Booth may not be the only person in hot water for his apparently criminal activity.

Made in America

Not too long ago, high school students in California were sent home for wearing the American flag on their clothing. They weren't doing so in a disrespectful manner, but as a show of support for their heritage. I'm beyond stunned.

The flag is not a symbol of political correctness. It is a sacred symbol of a nation. A representation of a promise of freedom. Freedom to life and liberty. The freedom for the law abiding citizen to protect their family and what they hold dear. Freedom to work hard and prosper and enjoy the fruits of your honest labor without fear that it will be forced from you to support the degradation of the Constitution. The flag is more than fabric, it's a promise. I am an American, and I will honor the flag, wrapping myself around it as a patriot would, to protect it, not wrapping it around words or actions to justify that which we know to be a breach of this promise.

The Spin Factory Shrieks

Think Progress—an organization built from the ground up to skew media coverage to the left—is complaining this morning because they were provided with a memo of a Fox News executive playing their game... and playing it just as well or better.


At the height of the health care reform debate last fall, Bill Sammon, Fox News' controversial Washington managing editor, sent a memo directing his network's journalists not to use the phrase "public option."

Instead, Sammon wrote, Fox's reporters should use "government option" and similar phrases -- wording that a top Republican pollster had recommended in order to turn public opinion against the Democrats' reform efforts.

Both sides play the spin game, and always have. Think Progress is particularly aggrieved at this particular example because (a), they had it, and (b) calling it the "government option" was both more effective and more accurate messaging than than their less-accurate "public option" construct.

There is nothing morally, ethically, or legally wrong in choosing the more accurate term "government option." We are, after all, talking about a government-run health-care law.

Think Progress is throwing a hissy-fit because Sammon sent out a memo because he wanted to make sure that his network used the more accurate and yes, more divisive description of Obamacare.

As much as these totalitarians would like to regulate the words we can use, they haven't managed to establish that level of control.

Then again, that is probably what irritates them the most.
