Deception Leads to War
After Buchanan’s failed Star of the West mission to resupply Fort Sumter in early January, 1861, Lincoln attempted the same in early April while promising to maintain the peaceful status quo. Judge John A. Campbell was a respected Supreme Court Justice who tried honestly to facilitate a peaceful settlement between North and South, but was deceived by those leading the war party of the North. Unionists North and South advised Lincoln to abandon Sumter to avoid a conflict between Americans.
Bernhard Thuersam, www.Circa1865.com
Deception Leads to War
“Judge Campbell to the President of the Confederate States.
Montgomery, Alabama, May 7, 1861
Sir: I submit to you two letters that were addressed by me to the Hon. W. H. Seward, Secretary of State of the United States, that contain an explanation of the nature and result of an intervention by me in the intercourse of the commissioners of the Confederate States with that officer.
I considered that I could perform no duty in which the entire American people, whether of the Federal Union or of the Confederate States, were more interested than that of promoting the counsels and the policy that had for their object the preservation of peace. This motive dictated my intervention.
Besides the interview referred to in these letters, I informed the Assistant Secretary of State of the United States (not being able to see the Secretary) on the 11th April, ultimo, of the existence of a telegram of that date, from General Beauregard to the commissioners, in which he informed the commissioners that he had demanded the evacuation of Sumter, and if refused he would proceed to reduce it.
On the same day, I had been told that President Lincoln had said that none of the vessels sent to Charleston were war vessels, and that force was not to be used in the attempt to resupply the Fort. I had no means of testing the accuracy of this information; but offered that if the information was accurate, I would send a telegram to the authorities at Charleston, and it might prevent the disastrous consequences of a collision at that fort between the opposing forces. It was the last effort that I would make to avert the calamities of war.
The Assistant Secretary promised to give the matter attention, but I had no other intercourse with him or any other person on the subject, nor have I had any reply to the letters submitted to you.
Very respectfully,
John A. Campbell
To: General Davis, President of the Confederate States”

Experts: Iran Housing Nuke Materials in North Korea, Syria
Via Michael via NCRenegade
A top State Department official on Monday dismissed reports that Iran may be hiding key nuclear-related assets in North Korea and implied that she was unaware of the possibility, despite the publication this weekend of several articles by top analysts expressing alarm at the extent of nuclear cooperation between Tehran and Pyongyang.
Marie Harf, a spokeswoman for the State Department, dismissed as “bizarre” the reports, which described the transfer of enriched uranium and ballistic missile technology back and forth between the two rogue regimes.
The existence of an illicit Iranian nuclear infrastructure outside of the Islamic Republic’s borders would gut a nuclear deal that the administration has vowed to advance by Tuesday, according to these experts and others.

Passed 54–46: Senate Amendment 515—Vitter (LA) on Federal Role in Common Core
Louisiana Senator David Vitter proposed this budget amendment to reign in federal support for the Common Core by ending the ability of the U.S. Department of Education to pressure states to remain in the Common Core through waivers to No Child Left Behind (NCLB). If passed in the final budget, this amendment will eliminate the federal government’s ability to incentivize states to adopt or remain in the Common Core, thereby allowing states to opt out of the Common Core without receiving a financial penalty.
This amendment is especially historic as it marks the first time the Senate has voted to reign in the federal government’s involvement in the Common Core since Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which included the Race to the Top Program.
What Happens Next?
While it is not yet certain whether Congress will even be able to pass a federal budget that President Obama signs into law, or whether the final budget includes Senator Vitter’s Amendment 515, this is a significant step forward in the fight to end federal support for the Common Core and return educational control back to states and families.

Pence Buckles Under Powerful Gay/Media Blitzkrieg

Columnist Robert Knight tells Breitbart News, “Mr. Pence would do well to find out what Scott Walker had for breakfast when he faced down union mobs, the media and the ruling elites.”
Governor Mike Pence of Indiana seems to have caved into enormous pressure and will ask the state legislature for new legislation to make it clear that Christian florists and bakers could be forced to participate in weddings that violate their religious beliefs.
Last week, Indiana joined 19 other states and the federal government by enacting a law to protect religious believers from governmental encroachment on religious freedom. Such legislation was cited in the recent Supreme Court Hobby Lobby decision that determined religious employers could not be forced to supply abortion drugs to employees under ObamaCare.
In a packed press conference this morning, Pence did not give specifics about what the new legislation would say, only that he wants it to make clear that “Indiana businesses will not be able to discriminate against anyone for any reason.” He said the religion freedom bill he signed was never considered by him or the bill’s sponsors to allow a “license to discriminate.”

Patrick Henry On Why We Need the Parental Rights Amendment
Thomas Jefferson’s
position on the ratification of the Constitution was pragmatically
brilliant. He hoped that nine states would ratify the Constitution so
that the new government, which he believed to be essential, could begin
to operate. But he also hoped that four states would refuse to join in
the new government until a bill of rights was secured.
In short,
Jefferson wanted both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
By
the time Virginia’s ratification convention was underway, eight other
states had voted to ratify the new constitution. It was assumed that the
ninth vote was inevitable, probably coming from New Hampshire.
Accordingly,
Patrick Henry, a delegate to Virginia’s ratification convention, argued
against ratifying the Constitution in Virginia in hopes that Virginia’s
absence from the union would be of sufficient weight to force the new
Congress to propose amendments—including a bill of rights.
Patrick
Henry failed to defeat the Constitution in Virginia. But the vote was
close enough that he secured the promise of James Madison to press the
new government to adopt a bill of rights. As Virginia’s representative
in the new Congress, Madison made good on his promise, and nearly
single-handedly moved the Bill of Rights through Congress and out to the
states for ratification.
I
tell you this history not just because it is interesting in its own
right, but to set the context for Patrick Henry’s arguments in favor of a
written bill of rights. At the time, everyone agreed that human
beings have rights that are gifts from God. But they disagreed on what
basis the government is obligated to observe and defend those rights.
Those
who opposed a written bill of rights contended that rights are implied
in the law and history, and that by writing them down, we risk limiting
them. But Patrick Henry argued that implied rights, based on logical inferences and historical precedent, are not sufficiently protected.
We should listen to the wisdom of Patrick Henry once again:

Paralysis cluster cases linked to polio-like virus

A team of researchers led by UCSF scientists has found strong evidence that recent, alarming clusters of sudden-onset paralysis cases — most of them in California and Colorado — were caused by the same virus that was also responsible for hundreds of severe respiratory infections in U.S. children last year.
Particularly worrisome is that the enterovirus identified in the research is a new strain that appears to have mutated to become more polio-like, raising the prospects of future outbreaks of the disease, scientists said in a paper published Monday.

Another group of guns bills have been filed in the state Senate, making it likely that this session will revisit social issues -- an abortion bill has also been filed – in addition to the bigger themes of jobs and the economy.
Sen. Jeff Tarte, a Republican from Cornelius, has filed three of the gun bills.
Senate Bill 708 would create a new secret class of concealed weapons permit-holders, giving them the authority to carry handguns anywhere that law enforcement officers can, including into any place that posts a sign prohibiting concealed firearms.
Those qualified to carry the new “homeland security permits” would be given badges. They would have to undergo advanced training and other additional requirements that would have to be written by the state. The public would not be able to find out who has been given the permits.

As you remember, Operation Choke Point is being used to try to convince banks to shut off credit to gun dealers and manufacturers. But we expect the Crapo amendment will probably put one final stake in the heart of that vampire.

Duty
In regard to duty,
let me, in conclusion of this hasty letter, inform you that nearly a
hundred years ago there was a day of remarkable gloom and darkness --
still known as "the dark day" -- a day when the light of the sun was
slowly extinguished, as if by an eclipse.
The Legislature of Connecticut was in session, and as its members saw the unexpected and unaccountable darkness coming on, they shared in general awe and terror. It was supposed by many that the last day -- the day of judgment -- had come. Some one, in the consternation of the hour, moved an adjournment.
Then there arose an old Puritan legislator, Davenport, of Stamford, and said that, if the last day had come, he desired to be found at his place doing his duty, and therefore moved that candles be brought in, so that the House could proceed with its duty.

Ammo Test: Remington’s Ultimate Defense 38 Special +P
For this test, I decided to use a snub-nose revolver, a Ruger LCR 357.

For the first couple episodes of the Great GunsAmerica Ammo Adventure, we looked at some interesting rifle rounds: the new Sig Sauer 300 Blackout Match Subsonic and Doubletap’s new 6.8 Remington SPC 90 grain Bonded Defense. They’re both really interesting, and if you consider the results, high-performance rifle cartridges. Now it’s time to drift into every day carry territory. For the next few episodes, we’ll take a close look at really common caliber options that make up a large proportion of concealed carry firearms.
This week’s feature is the Remington Ultimate Defense 38 Special +P 125 grain. If you look at the new Ultimate Defense bullets, they might seem familiar. They share the design of the famous Golden Saber projectiles. One difference you may encounter in the product family is that Remington is developing some loads optimized for short barrel handguns. Projectiles for the Compact Handgun loads are intended to expand more easily at lower velocities generated from shorter barrel guns.

Every time I'm sipping wine with tortured tech types, they always explain to me that this is a mobile world.
Some things, though, are still a touch cumbersome. Flamethrowers, for example.
How delightful then that Monday sees the launch of the XM42. This nifty little thing claims to be the "the world's first commercially available handheld flamethrower."
You've always wanted one of those, haven't you? To attack those pesky garden weeds, for example. And to generally feel a little better about yourself.

Vladimir Putin scheduled the war to retake the Baltic States – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – for the first half of the last Final Four college basketball game. He anticipated, correctly, that the President’s focus would be on his brackets instead of Russia’s plan to recapture its former glory.
The signs were all there – prior aggression in Georgia, the invasion of Ukraine, the unscheduled “maneuvers” in both Russia and Belarus adjacent to the panicking Baltic States’ borders, the provocative military flights into their airspace and that of nearby Sweden. And the administration, fixated on pushing through its domestic agenda and a legacy-building nuclear deal with Iran at all costs, ignored them.
A week before, the Secretary of State had said in an interview that, “Russia has a legitimate interest in Eastern Europe that we in the West are bound to respect.” Putin had taken that as tacit validation of a Russian sphere of influence over its former subject states.

BILL & HILLARY FACING RICO RACKETEERING CASE FILED IN FLORIDA FEDERAL COURT
Via Billy
The
attorney, Larry
Klayman, reported that the RICO lawsuit accuses the Clintons of
engaging in a criminal enterprise during the last 10 years with the
goal of enriching themselves personally.
A
former Department of Justice prosecutor, now heading a public-interest
watchdog group, filed a RICO-related civil lawsuit against former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton and their lucrative
family foundation. The lawsuit filed on March 24 before the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of Florida alleges that the Clintons
and their foundation committed criminal violations under
the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

Secession Makes More Sense Than Article V Convention of States
Via Billy
The latest craze throughout many Tea Party groups is to
support the notion that our Constitution should be changed. This
ill-conceived idea didn’t just come from Mark Levin’s book, the “Liberty
Amendments.” It has been planned for decades and has been pushed by,
both, the left and the right since the 1970’s.
In order to achieve the ultimate goals of the globalist movement, the Constitutional re-writers must transform our existing form of government (a Republic). Remember, Obama used the words “fundamentally transformed” and Michael Farris calls it, “structurally changed.” The effort began with the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations in 1964 and is recently pushed through several Non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) such as ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council), on the right, and their counterpart on the left, the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL).
The last push for an Article V convention was done by the left (in 1995) and was supported by ALEC…now it’s being sold to the other side with ALEC at the helm.
Why the “Convention of States” Project won’t work
…but secession will

The Gruesome Story of a Murdered Tennessee Couple You May Have Never Heard – But That You Will Never Forget
Why have America’s leading organs of influence decided to demonize white, Christian men as the most uniquely evil group in the history of the world? Why is it necessary for students, especially of that ethnic group, to unpack their invisible knapsacks?
The answer is that these men are routinely targeted for politically-empowered looting, usually by their own wives, with the assistance of the state. This looting would not be morally palatable without a pervasive myth of uniquely white male evil. It would otherwise trip the moral alarms that might otherwise come up when dissolving a family for personal gain.
The growth in anti-white-male op-eds in influential magazines makes more sense when you look at the real lives of middle class men, which are often marked by either divorce or threatened divorce, which typically involves an enormous transfer of valuable assets from the man to his ex-wife. This expropriation would have been regarded as execrable even just 50 years ago, but with the assistance of a powerful guilt-myth, it goes down much easier.

Blacks Get Pilloried for Speaking Truth about Ferguson
Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart stopped toeing the
liberal policy line for just a moment. That was long enough for the Left
to denounce this black man as a race traitor.
“Sellout,” carping online critics called him. “House Negro,” snarled
others.
Capehart’s crime? In a March 16 op-ed headlined ‘“Hands up, don’t shoot’
was built on a lie,” he explained that he wrongly advanced the
narrative that exploded after the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed
18-year-old cigar thief, at the hands of former Ferguson, Mo., police
officer Darren Wilson. Capehart cited the Department of Justice’s final
report on Ferguson. DOJ says that eyewitnesses that day.

Hillary destroys evidence

The House Select Committee on Benghazi sent Hillary Clinton a subpoena for all her emails related to Libya on March 4. The committee statement on the issuance of the subpoena to Clinton is posted here. The committee followed up with a letter dated March 19 formally requesting Clinton’s email server. A PDF of the letter is posted here. After obtaining a two-week extension, Clinton attorney David Kendall responded by letter:
In a letter provided to the committee, Kendall said Clinton would not be turning over the server to a third-party for review and that the emails no longer exist on the private server located in her New York home.
“There is no basis to support the proposed third-party review of the server that hosted the hdr22@clintonemail.com account,” Kendall wrote. “To avoid prolonging a discussion that would be academic, I have confirmed with the secretary’s IT support that no emails…..for the time period January 21, 2009 through February 1, 2013 reside on the server or on any back-up systems associated with the server.”

Government supports dismissal of Ares Armor case against ATF

Lawyers for the Department of Justice submitted a memorandum Friday in the United States District Court, Southern District of California, in support of defendant’s motion to dismiss Lycurgan, Inc., dba Ares Armor vs. B. Todd Jones [successor name to be substituted], in his official capacity as Head of the San Diego Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The case involves Ares’ contention that ATF erred and overstepped its authority in declaring the firm’s EP80 polymer precursor receivers (“80 percent receivers”) to be complete receivers, and thus “firearms” as defined by the Gun Control Act of 1968.

How Long America? In Which the Unthinkable is Thunk
Is it possible for the United States to break up, either de facto or formally?
I wonder. The country is not a happy place. Today it is more consciously and resentfully divided, politically, regionally, racially and by sex and class than perhaps ever before. The rich prosper and the middle class sink. Three major racial blocs eye each other with fear and hostility. The hard left controls the media and government against the desires of much of the country, enforcing social engineering that is deeply disliked. Feminists make war on men, and destroy the schools and universities. Washington is widely loathed. Rules, laws, and regulations never voted on grow ever more burdensome and intrusive. Many quietly want out. The question is how to get there.
A breakup will not come by armed secession. We tried that, with poor results. It will come, if it does, by gradual degrees, by inadvertence, by quietly ignoring the central government, by incremental defiance. This has begun. Whether it will continue remains to be seen.

The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” -- Genesis 18:26
The Lower 9th Ward is America's version of Sodom, and God's judgement fell upon this area of New Orleans in 2005.
Almost ten years later, a white father of three found himself delivering a pizza to an address in the Lower 9th Ward.
And for the second time in six months, a white pizza deliveryman was murdered by blacks.

The Law of Unintended Consequences And Suicidal Pilots
Via Terry
The Law has been on vivid display with the suicide plunge of the Germanwings A320 into a French mountainside. It has been possible to see the heads of some of media types bulging under the pressure of trying to understand that there are no perfect decisions; that every decision involves compromise and needs to be based on trying to optimize conflicting outcomes. "We reinforced cockpit doors and now we can't break them down when we need to!!" "Someone has to DO something!!" As always, when you the hear that, at a minimum put your hand on your wallet. At worst, prepare to be railroaded "for safety".
I don't know that it has reached its peak, but the insanity certainly cranked up to 11 today on Fox News' "Bulls and Bears" business program with the first segment debating whether or not every cockpit in every plane, should live stream video of what's going on in the cockpit to the ground. The common argument was "it's cheap".
No. It's. Not. A single webcam is cheap. The infrastructure they're suggesting to minimize the occurrence of an incredibly rare act is absolutely not.

NC: Most voters believe concealed carry permits are necessary, survey says
Gun supporters and gun protesters alike have almost unanimously come together to draw the line on one aspect of the debate — that people need to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
With the help of Everytown for Gun Safety, a left-leaning advocacy movement, Strategies 360 recently released a report that found 88 percent of likely voters oppose concealed carry without a permit.
While usually polarized between the two sides, voters who support concealed carry — 57 percent — and voters who believe it should be illegal — 40 percent — agree there ought to be a permit system before buying a handgun.(Cause' no way they can buy one off the streets for $100..........)

BATFE "Air Force" Grounded Again
Via Jeffery
Days after the BATFE had its ears trimmed by Congress after trying to ban M855 ammunition, a D.O.J. Inspector General audit
has revealed that over the last few years, the agency spent hundreds of
thousands of taxpayer dollars trying to achieve one of its long held
ambitions, a private air force, of sorts.
Long held, indeed. In 1995, a mere two years after the then-BATF’s deadly debacle in Waco, Texas, the agency acquired 22 OV-10 “Bronco” warplanes from the military. Though designed to carry machine guns, missiles, rockets, and bombs, nine of the planes in the BATF’s squadron were “being used for surveillance and photography,” while the rest were for spare parts, the agency said.
The following year, NRA learned that the military had transferred the warplanes to the BATF through a dummy salvage corporation and a fictitious outfit called American Warbirds, Inc., which had offices in an unmarked building occupied by the BATF near Washington, D.C.

I did not want to give Ferguson and Fat Albert Garner in Staten Island a single molecule of oxygen, but we had some protesters a few weekends ago in my town, obstructing traffic and marching through the streets, chanting “Black lives matter” and “I can’t breathe” and “Hands up-don’t shoot”, and it really is aggravating. I don’t know who these five or six-dozen people think they are winning over by causing massive traffic backups and disrupting peoples’ dinners at the street cafes and restaurants downtown. I am just infuriated by the lies, and so many people being hurt by them. The bile and hatred on Twitter over this shit is horrendous… I’ve never seen anything like it. Racial relations in this country are in a terrible ebb tide, much degraded from just twenty years ago.
Black Americans, you have got to snap out of this. You have to stop listening to the media and the racial grievance industry. This shit is simply not true. If you believe these memes, there are only two possibilities: you are ignorant of the facts and too lazy or too stupid to go find those facts, or you are a knowing and willing co-conspirator in perpetrating this hoax. You are a chump, or an asshole, and quite possibly both.
