It’s all guns all the time as President Obama makes a big push for gun control. Part of the plan includes “Executive Orders.” The other part of the President’s plan includes new legislation that bans assault weapons.

More deals are being cut to eliminate any criminal prosecutions of top bank officials [...] Strategic defaulters, beware. The feds are coming for you.

The countersuit, signed Monday and made public Tuesday, seeks at least $1 million plus undetermined punitive damages from the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, who is accused of “falsely and maliciously asserting” she was attacked. The 18-page document accuses Diallo of malicious prosecution, abuse of process, false imprisonment, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. “Ms Diallo participated [...] By Thomas Sowell Translating the Left’s rhetoric, and other random thoughts How long do politicians have to keep on promising heaven and delivering hell before people catch on and stop getting swept away by rhetoric?
