Connecticut Actively Trying to Price People Out of Their Second Amendment Rights...
His plan, unfortunately, comes at the expense of those exercising their Second Amendment rights to bear arms.

Background check fees may also see a modest increase from $50 to $75. Based on these numbers, the permits would....

FEDS STILL ADVERTISING SAFE ZONES FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS
“This policy is designed to ensure that these enforcement actions do not occur at nor are focused on sensitive locations such as schools and churches,” ICE’s “Sensitive Locations” policy post still states.
CBP's "Sensitive Locations FAQ" list of safe zones is so extensive that just about any illegal alien can escape arrest as long as they follow these simple rules, as CBP explains - providing a virtual “how-to” guide for illegals
Locations covered by these policies would include, but not be limited to:
Andrew Napolitano: 9th Circuit Ruling ‘Intellectually Dishonest’
Napolitano said, “The statute specifically says the president on his own, by proclamation, meaning he doesn’t have to consult with anybody else, can make the decision. The decision to ban is not reviewable. Judges are incapable of second-guessing the president on it. For that reason, he may be thinking the Supreme Court is going to invalidate it.”
“I don’t know which way the Supreme Court is going to go and I don’t know which court he had in mind, but this is an intellectually dishonest piece of work the 9th Circuit has produced tonight because it essentially consists of substituting the judgment of three judges for the President of the United States when the Constitution unambiguously gives this area of jurisdiction, foreign policy, exclusively to...
VIDEO: PROFESSOR TELLS STUDENTS “DO NOT OPEN YOUR HEART TO WHITE TRUMP SUPPORTERS”
According to Campus Reform, Dr. David Perry (chair of the Communications Studies department) at Saint Joseph’s, went on a tirade condemning white voters and making outrageous claims.
The whole thing was caught on an audio tape, and kudos to the student for doing it because sometimes there are consequences to this kind of thing. Like this Orange Coast College student that faced the possibility of being punished for recording a professor’s anti-Trump tirade.
This of course is all following the fact that many professors were resorting to abandoning regular class time to protest Trump.
Perry started out by making it clear that he had disdain for white people that voted for Trump.
“As someone who fights for liberal values, I am not sympathetic to the white voters who make over $50,000 a year and said that ‘we are going to vote for Trump,’ those people, I am not sympathetic to and I do not believe that you have to open your heart to them.”Perry went on to talk about how Trump voters have in some way dehumanized minorities:
“If you are a person of color in this room, if you are a woman in this room, you do not have to open your heart to them. They told you you’re not a person and it is okay to deal with that how you want.”

Establishment Republicans peddle growth-killing carbon tax at White House
On the campaign trail President Trump came out against enacting a carbon tax. “I will not support or endorse a carbon tax!” he tweeted May 13, 2016. White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus previously said that Trump’s “default position” on climate change is that “most of it is a bunch of bunk.”
Priebus, National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn, Ivanka Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner, were supposed to meet with former Treasury Secretary James Baker and others. The pro-carbon tax group reportedly includes former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, former Walmart chairman Rob Walton, and New America Foundation founder Ted Halstead, but it was unclear at time of writing if they were expected to attend the meeting.
According to Moran,
The insiders would impose a $40 per ton tax on carbon, and potentially increase it in the future. Conservatives on Capitol Hill and Pennsylvania Avenue oppose a carbon tax. […] At $40 per ton of carbon, the plan would raise $300 billion in revenue, and add 36 cents per gallon to gas prices. James Baker has said that they would reallocate the funds in the form of rebates, a family of four would receive $2,000 a year.
James Baker is trying to sell the carbon tax as “something that does not increase, build government, that is conservative, that is free market.”
Some right-of-center groups in Washington like the R Street Institute support carbon taxes, as Michael Bastasch and Steven J. Allen reported in the August 2013 issue of Green Watch. A handful of scholars at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) appear to favor such taxes.
“Conservatives should seize the opportunity to once again emphasize the superiority of free markets over central planning,” R Street’s Andrew Moylan wrote in 2013. “A revenue-neutral carbon tax with regulatory reform could do exactly that.”
Marlo Lewis of the Competitive Enterprise Institute thinks a carbon tax would be disastrous.
The political choice facing the American people is in no small part that between a Republican Party that is anti-tax and pro-energy and a Democratic Party that is anti-energy and pro-tax. This clear product differentiation is an asset for the GOP. Republicans are truly the Dumb Party if they...

Massive ESPN Financial, Subscriber Losses Drag Down Disney’s First-Quarter Sales
Well, that did not happen, and ESPN appears to be a sinking ship, dragging parent company Disney down with it.
Bloomberg reports that ESPN badly hurt Disney’s first quarter sales, falling well short of projections.
According to The Wrap, “Cable networks, particularly ESPN, have been an albatross on Disney’s stock price even as the company’s two other major prongs, movies and theme parks, continue to perform well. As cheaper TV alternatives began to proliferate, ESPN hemorrhaged subscribers during the course of 2016 and is now at less than 88 million, compared with a peak of 100.1 million in 2011. At an estimated $7 per subscriber, that dip has been a substantial hit to Disney, especially considering media networks made up 49 percent of Disney’s profits during fiscal 2016.”
In other words, everyone else at Disney met or exceeded their projected goals, except for ESPN who lost more than twelve million subscribers in just under six years.
But, the problem for ESPN goes deeper than just losing subscribers and money. The Wrap explains, “At the same time, rights fees for the live sports ESPN specializes in broadcasting continue to go up, as there’s plenty of competition for one of the few pieces of programmed television that still delivers monster ratings. ESPN will pay $7.3 billion for content this year – the biggest price tag among all media companies. Operating income at Disney’s cable networks division — primarily ESPN — plunged 11 percent compared with the same time the previous year. Disney attributed that drop entirely to lower ESPN revenue.”
Less cash on hand means less cash to purchase rights to sporting events, which can prove particularly harmful to an entity that considers itself a sports network. Now, Disney and ESPN have laid much of the blame for their subscriber loss at the feet of ...
A MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SECURITY BREACH IN CONGRESS
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.
Last year, eight members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issued a demand that their staffers be granted access to top secret classified information.
The signatories to the letter were Andre Carson, Luis Guiterez, Jim Himes, Terri Sewell, Jackie Speier, Mike Quigley, Eric Swalwell and Patrick Murphy. All the signatories were Democrats. Some had a history of attempting to undermine national security.
Two of them have been linked to an emerging security breach.
The office of Andre Carson, the second Muslim in Congress, had employed Imran Awan. As did the offices of Jackie Speier and Debbie Wasserman Schultz; to whom the letter had been addressed.
Imran Awan and his two brothers, Jamal and Abid, are at the center of an investigation that deals with, among other things, allegations of illegal access. They have been barred from the House of Representatives network.
All three of the Pakistani brothers had been employed by Democrats. The offices that employed them included HPSCI minority members Speier, Carson and Joaquín Castro. Congressman Castro, who also sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, utilized the services of Jamal Moiz Awan. Speier and Carson’s offices utilized Imran Awan.
Abid A. Awan was employed by Lois Frankel and Ted Lieu: members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Also on the committee is Castro. As is Robin Kelly whose office employed Jamal Awan. Lieu also sits on the subcommittees on National Security and Information Technology of the Committee on Oversight and...
Former Classmate: Keith Ellison Would Rant About Jewish Slavers, Called Jews ‘Oppressors’
 |
| Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) has dominated the endorsements game in the race to become the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee. |
That anecdote is buried in an otherwise complimentary profile of the congressman from Mother Jones. Ellison recently came under renewed scrutiny for his past defense of anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in the student paper, and for inviting Stokely Carmichael to give a campus speech in which he accused “Zionists” of collaborating with the Nazis.
One of the campus critics of Ellison (who then went by ‘Keith Hakim’) was an editor of the Minnesota Daily Michael Olenick. Olenick told Mother Jones that Ellison argued in their conversations that blacks and other oppressed groups “could not be racist toward Jews” because “Jews were themselves oppressors.”
“‘European white Jews are trying to oppress minorities all over the world,'” Olenick said Ellison would tell him. “Keith would go on all the time about ‘Jewish...
