Backwards Cartoon
Via WRSA
I THINK THIS CARTOON GETS IT EXACTLY BACKWARD. Police don’t actually protect law-abiding citizens from criminals so much as they protect criminals from the much-rougher justice they’d get in the absence of a legal system.
Burglars would be hung from lampposts, and shoplifters would be
beaten and tossed into the gutter if there were no police, as in fact
happens in countries where there isn’t a reliable justice system and a
civil-society culture that restrains vigilantism. Reminder to the
criminal class: Ultimately, we’re not stuck in this country with you.
You’re stuck in this country with us.

Judicial Watch: FEC Must Investigate Democratic National Committee for Employing Illegal Alien to Craft 2016 Political Message
Via avordvet
Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission requesting that it investigate the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for having “knowingly hired” an illegal alien, Cindy Nava, to help craft the committee’s 2016 political message and communications. Judicial Watch filed its complaint on August 25, 2015.
A June 8, 2015, story in The Washington Post reported that the DNC hired Nava with full knowledge of what DNC chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) termed Nava’s “undocumented status.” The news report details that “Despite not yet attaining legal status, Nava is working for the Democratic National Committee as one of a crop of fellows from around the country helping the party organize ahead of a presidential election that President Obama predicted would feature immigration as a major issue.”
The Spanish language newspaper El Nuevo Herald reports that Nava would help coordinate DNC outreach to “women, youth, and Hispanics.”
Federal law prohibits foreign nationals from participating “directly or indirectly in the decision-making process” of federal, state, or local election-related activities.

‘Anti-gun stupidity’: Honolulu destroys $575G worth of police firearms
The
police who once carried the weapons were reportedly interested in
buying them, but Honolulu officials had them destroyed. (Ammoland.com)
Some 2,300 Smith & Wesson 9 mm handguns, including at least 200 that are brand-new and in unopened boxes, were issued to the city’s police department. But with the 2,200-member force upgrading to lighter and less expensive Glock 17s, the guns were set to be permanently holstered. While it is customary throughout the country for departments to auction the guns to law-abiding citizens, including the police who once carried them, or donate them to another department, Honolulu opted to destroy them.

Gun control groups accused of ‘swatting’ open-carry permit holders, putting lives at risk
Via avordvet
Rick Ector, of Detroit, recently told FoxNews.com that people carrying guns, whether openly or concealed, lowers crime.
Second Amendment groups are accusing the gun control lobby of putting law-abiding owners of firearms in danger by urging people to call the police on anyone carrying a gun in public.
As more states relax rules about open-carrying of guns, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has taken to social media to urge the public to assume gun-toters are trouble, and to call the cops on anyone they feel may be a threat.

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback 4 speed
Drool....:)
429/
To Ford’s incoming new president Semon “Bunkie” Knudsen, the company’s decade-long Total Performance program was an international success by every measure except one:
sales. The performance-oriented Knudsen wasted no time in solving the problem by appealing to the youth market, launching the 1968 428 Cobra Jet Mustangs into NHRA Super Stock competition and following that up with the Boss 429 Mustang, whose purpose was twofold: homologate the new 429 “Semi Hemi” engine for NASCAR and unleash what Roy Lunn of GT40 fame described as “really just a hairy, crazy road machine.”

SHOCK: As Americans Bought 170 Million Guns, Violent Crime Fell 51%
Via avordvet
This information squares with the findings of a Congressional Research Service (CRS) study covering the slightly shorter period of time from 1994 to 2009. For those years, CRS found that Americans purchased approximately 118 million firearms, and the 1993 “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide” rate of 6.6 per 100,000 fell to 3.6 per 100,000 by the year 2000. It eventually fell all the way to 3.2 per 100,000 in 2011.
On August 28, the NRA presented ATF and FBI data showing Americans have purchased “170 million new guns” since 1991, and violent crime has fallen “51 percent.”
The NRA tweeted, “Since ’91, Americans have acquired over 170 million new firearms and violent crimes have declined by 51%.”This information squares with the findings of a Congressional Research Service (CRS) study covering the slightly shorter period of time from 1994 to 2009.

EU migrant crisis: 'Schengen has now hit the buffers of the real world and is falling apart'
Via comment by Cav Med on Building the next Nazis
Nigel Farage, the UK Independent Party leader, told the
Telegraph: "It is clear the Schengen Agreement is crumbling, as recent
events are putting so much pressure on the political agreement.
"Schengen has now hit the buffers of the real world and is falling apart. In a crisis, national interests always prevail over European ideology."
Daniel Hannan, a British Conservative MEP, said: "The two pillars of European integration were Schengen and the euro. Both have now crumbled at the first crisis. I'm not asking the Euro-fanatics to apologise; I just want the rest of us to stop listening to them."

Hillary Intentionally Originated And Distributed Highly Classified Information
Via avordvet
A review of recently released e-mails shows that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton repeatedly originated and distributed highly classified national security information.
Clinton’s classified e-mail missives were not constrained to State Department staff, either.
She also sent classified information to Sidney Blumenthal, a former Clinton White House operative banned by the Obama White House.
An analysis by The Federalist of e-mails released by the State Department late Monday shows that scores of e-mails sent by Clinton contained highly confidential national security information from the beginning, even if they weren’t marked by a classification authority until later.
