OBAMACARE (NON)SURPRISE. The Affordable Care Act was never about healthcare; it has been and will always be about control and power. For those of you dumb enough to have voted for it, enjoy....

AS DEBATE BEGINS, Senate background check proposal for gun sales lacks necessary votes. Good.

MORE ON expanded background checks. In addition to the possibility of registration and a whole host of other 'inadvertent' crimes, the Manchin-Toomey bill adds another tax on the innocent.

Note once again that the Liberal response to almost any perceived problem is to punish the innocent.

BOSTON MARATHON BOMBED; actor calls for gun ban. He seems to have a bit of trouble understanding that the Second Amendment refers to the right to bear arms; it doesn't contain a right to arm bombs....

JOHN KERRY speaks for the Obama administration.

THE “PRO-GUN” PROVISIONS of Manchin-Toomey are actually a bonanza of gun control. Based on my reading of the post, I'm even less enamored of the legislation than I was before.

MEDIA BIAS and the Boston Marathon bombing:

Get over yourselves. For one day, get over yourselves. For one day realize the purpose you claim to serve and distribute what the authorities are confirming as fact. Practice actual news gathering. A public is fearful. Cities are securing their public centers and people are hugging their loved ones extra tight tonight. If you’re an anchor or reporter your professional designation is a publicly-declared obligation to provide unfiltered information to this very public. The public doesn’t give a damn about your political leanings or what you think. Give them the facts.

For the MSM, 'facts' are whatever speculation promotes their causes.

UPDATE: More.

A LOOK INSIDE the immigration reform proposal. I'm impressed, but only with its complexity. Otherwise, no. The border control part can be 'unenforced' with the stroke of a pen, and no matter how good the rest appears on the surface, it's just amnesty without effective border control.

TAKE THE TIME to get immigration reform right. "[I]t's less important to get an immigration bill through than it is to get immigration right."

KURT SCHLICTER: Snob Rule. I'm thinking that it's past time to put the snobs at the pointy end of the spear.

SOLAR CONJUNCTION suspends communications between Earth and Mars. For the next couple of weeks, at least, the Mars explorers are on their own.

OBAMA is sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin' time. And we have very little left to waste....

HOME PRICES highest point in history for D.C. as liberals cry 'austerity'. It's a nice thought, but as I live in the D.C. metro area, I have to point out that my house is appraised (in 2013) at only 64.2% of it's appraised value at the peak of the real estate bubble in 2006.

OBAMA HAS your pension plan in his sights. Anyone with more than sh*t for brains should be thinking about keeping his/her IRA in a Cayman Islands bank....

SOME THOUGHTS for those [gun] control addicts who denigrate those 'right-wing extremists clinging to their guns and bibles'.

THINKING OUTSIDE the [education] box. College never was the answer for everyone; it's rapid descent into progressive dementia leads me to wonder if it's an answer for anyone.

INSTAPUNDIT reflects on the quality of the political class.

RIGHT ON. The Cost of the “Collective” Message to “Our Children”.

ERECT ME MAYOR and skip the real scandal.
