Obama Administration Releases 68,000 Illegal Immigrant Criminals

The ICE document showed that its agents encountered 193,357 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions last year, but issued charging documents for only 125,478. As noted above, 67,879 charged and/or convicted criminals were released.

“ICE released 68,000 criminal aliens in 2013, or 35 percent of the criminal aliens encountered by officers. The vast majority of these releases occurred because of the Obama administration’s prosecutorial discretion policies,” Vaughan wrote in a memo that drew from the ICE document. She noted that ICE classifies illegal immigrants as criminal if they have been convicted of a crime, excluding traffic offenses.

FK – That’s bigger than Bowling Green, KY. The commies want the illegals here so they can get them to vote commie.

The Internet tsunami: 8 big insights on what it disrupts next

The world wide web remains one of the greatest disruptive forces in human history. On an average day it can give you access to a vast wealth of human knowledge from a simple search box, show you snapshots from the lives of friends and family spread across the planet, provide a world-class education for free, crowdfund solar power in ways that governments can’t afford, redistribute food that would have been wasted, and sweep corrupt rulers into the dustbin of history.

Not bad for a 25 year-old.

Last week we celebrated the 25th anniversary of when Tim Berners-Lee first proposed the world wide web. While the web technically rides on top of the Internet—which had its origins a couple decades earlier—it was the web that turned the Internet into a world-shaping phenomenon. And today, the two terms are virtually synonymous among the masses.

“When the cost of collecting information on virtually every interaction falls to zero, the insights that we gain from our activity, in the context of the activity of others, will fundamentally change the way we relate to one another, to institutions, and with the future itself,” said Patrick Tucker, author of The Naked Future. “We will become far more knowledgeable about the consequences of our actions; we will edit our behavior more quickly and intelligently.”

GM slammed at hearing for failing to address 57-cent defect linked to deaths

General Motors’ new CEO, Mary Barra, and the head of the nation’s auto safety watchdog testified Tuesday before a House subcommittee, on the defect in small cars that is linked to 13 deaths.

Fueling the outrage over the malfunction, DeGette said lawmakers obtained documents showing how GM had actually looked at possible fixes for the defect in 2005, but determined it would be too expensive to address.

The “unacceptable cost increase,” she said, turned out to be 57 cents apiece.

FK – We need a few basic laws to hold these corporate workaholic greedy assholes personally responsible for what their corporations do, up to and including the death penalty.

GOA: Time to Repeal Gun-Free Zones!

It was previous base shootings like this one that prompted Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) to introduce H.R. 3199 last year, a bill to repeal the ban on carrying firearms on military bases.

Rep. Stockman blasted the glaring double-standard that keeps our servicemen disarmed.

“Why are civilians at a restaurant allowed to defend themselves but soldiers trained in firearms aren’t?” Stockman asked.  “Why can’t we extend common sense gun laws like open carry to our soldiers?”

FK – Those responsible for instituting ‘gun free zones’ including the newswhores who support them should be tried for treason and murder.

Lawless Obama Shreds More Constitutional Protections for Steel Core 5.45×39 Ammo

A couple of points need to be made:

(1) First, the heavily-abused “armor piercing ammunition” ban was yet another gun control measure slammed through by Senator Bob Dole with the acquiescence of certain “pro-gun groups.”

(2) Second, if anyone wondered why we have fought for almost thirty years to oppose efforts to make the definition of “armor piercing ammunition” much broader, malleable, and subject to abuse, this recent ATF action is their answer.

We have defeated Obama’s efforts to rewrite this definition by statute.  But it is clear that, if the Obama administration can’t get Congress to pass an ammunition ban, it will ban ammunition on its own accord.

FK – It’s way past time to shut down the BATF Nazi trash, arrest and try for treason all BATF employees, give their retirement plans to their victims and repeal the ‘law’ they enforce. End of discussion.

Connecticut gun control now in full effect

According to The Blaze via The Conservative Angle, as of today long guns cannot be sold or transfered unless the citizen has one of the following documents — a permit to carry handguns, a long gun eligibility certificate, or a certificate of eligibility for handguns, all of which must be issued by the state.

In addition, only those with the documents listed above will be allowed to purchase ammunition, unless that citizen has an ammunition certificate issued by the state.

And having a hunting license will not give hunters the ability to purchase long guns for hunting. Hunters must have a certificate from the state that specifically allows them to buy long guns.

FK – We need to bulldoze those NE commie states into the Atlantic and let them swim to Europe where they belong.

Pop Tart Gun Ban Could be a Thing of the Past in Florida

Florida’s proposed law, according to Emily Miller at the Washington Times, has become known as “The Pop Tart Bill.”

The legislation got its nickname from an incident involving Josh Welch, a 7-year-old Maryland boy who was suspended from school in March 2013 for chewing his strawberry Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.

The House legislation lists the types of games that cannot get a kid into trouble, such as “brandishing a partially consumed pastry or other food item to simulate a firearm or weapon.”

Schoolchildren also will be allowed expressly to use a “finger or hand to simulate a firearm,” draw a picture of a weapon and possess a “toy firearm or weapon made of plastic snap-together building blocks.”

FK – What about toy soldiers and small toy guns that might inadvertently be placed into a child’s backpack? Oh my goodness…
