Glock to Army on SIG MHS Contract: Not So Fast

Glock is protesting the military’s decision to replace its current sidearm with the relatively new SIG P320-based XM17. The military selected the SIG design to replace the aging Beretta M9 series pistols in service late last year.

The protest, filed with the U.S. Government Accountability Office, needs a response from the U.S. Army Materiel Command by June 5th of 2017.

Until the Army responds to the protest the switch from Beretta pistols to SIG pistols will not move forward. Time will tell if this is a business formality or if it will alter the course of the Army’s hunt for their next sidearm.

No, Don Lemon, Loretta Lynch didn't recuse herself from the Clinton email scandal

Via Billy

Oh, Don Lemon. July 2016 wasn't that long ago.

Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch did not recuse herself last year from the federal investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server. Lynch also did not meet with Hillary Clinton on a tarmac as federal agents reviewed the former secretary of state's emails.

Watching CNN Wednesday evening, however, you'd think exactly the opposite.

"Loretta Lynch recused herself from any decision regarding Hillary Clinton because of that meeting of Hillary Clinton and Loretta Lynch, who was attorney general at the time, on the tarmac," Lemon said during a panel discussion.

The Wilson Times

The Sons of Confederate Veterans’ North Carolina Division will conduct its 29th annual Confederate Flag Day on Saturday at the historic state Capitol building.

Paul C. Graham of South Carolina will be the featured speaker and will deliver a presentation titled “Honoring Our Fathers.”

Graham holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philosophy from the University of South Carolina. A philosophy instructor, he has partnered with Clyde Wilson in founding and operating The Shotwell Press, which the Sons of Confederate Veterans describe as “a leading publishing house for books defending the South.”

Graham has written articles and reviews for numerous publications, including The Simms Review, The Palmetto Partisan and The Abbeville Institute.

Ceremonies will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday in the historic House of Representatives chamber in the Capitol building. A color guard will escort the flags to the well of the House — the same chamber where North Carolina adopted its ordinance of secession in May 1861. Ellis Selph and his band will provide period and patriotic music.

Organizers say the event will prove to be “inspiring and educational.” All members of the general public are invited to attend.

Mattis livid at reports disputing value of Yemen raid

Via Billy

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is hopping mad about media reports disputing his assessment that the U.S. special operations raid in Yemen last month yielded "vital intelligence."

Aides say Mattis is particularly upset about an NBC News report suggesting that so far none of the intelligence gathered in the raid, which cost the life of Navy SEAL William "Ryan" Owens, has proven to be either "actionable or vital."

"That is inaccurate," said a senior Pentagon official, who said while much of the intelligence is still being exploited, the cache of seized computers, cell phones, and hard drive has already produced leads as to where other al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula terrorists were located in Yemen, and their contacts.

‘American Sniper’ widow Taya Kyle slams Michael Moore’s comments: ‘It makes me sick to my stomach’

Via Billy

Fox News contributor Taya Kyle, the widow of “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle, said Michael Moore’s criticism of President Trump’s moving tribute to Carryn Owens made her sick to her stomach.

Ms. Kyle responded to Mr. Moore’s comments Wednesday on Fox News’ “The First 100 Days” with Martha MacCallum. The host played a clip of the liberal filmmaker railing against the president for a particularly powerful moment during his first joint address to Congress, in which he recognized the widow of fallen Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens.

Mr. Moore accused the president of “using” Ms. Owens as a political prop.

“This poor woman, this widow who has lost her husband, she is in desperate grief right now,” Mr. Moore said Tuesday night on MSNBC. “And to use that to put another notch on his belt … I mean, this is the sickness of this man.”

Barack Obama's close confidante Valerie Jarrett has moved into his new DC home, which is now the nerve center for their plan to mastermind the insurgency against President Trump

Via sauced07

Barack Obama is turning his new home in the posh Kalorama section of the nation's capital - just two miles away from the White House - into the nerve center of the mounting insurgency against his successor, President Donald J. Trump.

Obama's goal, according to a close family friend, is to oust Trump from the presidency either by forcing his resignation or through his impeachment.

And Obama is being aided in his political crusade by his longtime consigliere, Valerie Jarrett, who has moved into the 8,200-square-foot, $5.3-million Kaloroma mansion with  the former president and Michelle Obama, long time best friends.

Jarrett played a vital - if at times low-key - role in the Obama presidency. She lived in the White House, dined with the Obamas, and help shape his domestic and foreign policies.

Political Witch Hunt: France's Marine Le Pen loses EU immunity over IS tweets

Via Billy

Far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen was stripped of her European Parliament immunity Thursday after she tweeted images of Islamic State atrocities, paving the way for her prosecution by French authorities.

Prosecutors launched a probe in December, 2015 over the graphic pictures that the French National Front (FN) leader posted on social media, which included the decapitated body of US journalist James Foley.

"The result is clear, a big majority is in favour of the lifting of immunity," acting parliament speaker Dimitrios Papadimoulis said, after lawmakers in Brussels voted by a show of hands.

The ruling is effective immediately for Le Pen, a National Front MEP, European Parliament officials told AFP.
