FBI Denies Secret Comey-Obama Meeting Raises Integrity and Public Trust Issues

• The FBI will not expedite the release of documents about secret meetings between Comey and Obama
• Comey held a secret Oval Office meeting with Obama on Jan. 5, 2017
• The DCNF requested records of all meetings between the two

The FBI states it will not expedite the release of documents about secret meetings between FBI Director James Comey and former President Barack Obama, according to a letter the bureau sent to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Such information is not “a matter of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exists possible questions about the government’s integrity which affects public confidence,” David Hardy, the section chief for the bureau’s Record/Information Dissemination Section, told TheDCNF in a Feb. 26 letter.

Georgia governor signs bill nixing Delta tax break after NRA split

Via Billy

 

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal on Friday signed into law a tax bill that fellow Republicans used to punish Atlanta-based Delta in retaliation for the airline's decision to sever ties with the National Rifle Association.

The final version of the bill dropped a tax break worth millions to the airline. Until it was removed, the amendment would have renewed a jet fuel tax exemption taken off the books in 2015.

Marine Le Pen charged over ISIS tweets

 

The Strait Times

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen was charged on Thursday (Mar 1) for posting on Twitter gruesome images of purported atrocities by Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) extremist militants, prosecutors said.

The move by a judge in Nanterre, just outside Paris, came after the National Assembly voted in November to strip the National Front president of her parliamentary immunity over the three photos of ISIS violence posted in 2015.

Parkland kids: The return of the grieving activist

Via Billy

According to many gun-control advocates, 18-year-olds are too immature to handle guns – but are mature enough to advise us on gun policy. Thus we're told we must "listen to the voices" of the young Parkland shooting survivors. Not only that, we're not to question or oppose them because they're young, they're survivors and, by golly, because it's absolutely devastating to the anti-gun agenda!

There's something truly reprehensible about this situation, and it's not conservatives criticizing the positions of activist Parkland students such as David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez. It's that liberals are using the students as human props and human shields, letting them throw the punches and then condemning the assailed if they dare defend themselves.

Well, sorry, but as I wrote years ago in "The Grieving Activist," if you want to grieve, grieve. If you want to play politics, play politics.

But my sympathy for grieving ends when the use of grief as a political battering ram begins.

Bump Stock Your Glock with the Fast Fire Device on Indiegogo

Weapons developer Colin Despins has been working on a very clever and potentially very hot-button project, building a bump-stock for pistols. It’s more of a bump trigger housing by the looks of it, and it’s for sale for $299.

“Over the past two years I have been involved in developing a device of my own,” explains Despins.

“A device that will deliver (legal) full-auto-like joy to the freedom-loving masses.”

“I hope you have enjoyed our brief video demonstration, which illustrates just a fraction of what the device is capable of. Whats special about it?”
