Petition to the White House for Universal Recognition of States' Concealed Weapon Permits and an Interim Federal Concealed Weapon PermitWe respectfully request a call to Congress for legislation that would require every state to recognize and honor licenses for concealed firearms carry issued by every other state. A Concealed Weapons Permit issued by one state needs to be recognized universally within all states in the same way that all states recognize every other states' driver’s licenses. We also ask the President to create a federal Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) by Executive Order. The CWP would be issued to citizens until,...

Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron, both on their way out of office soon, seemed in a particularly light-hearted mood despite the day's grim and dominant subject matter. The pair laughed and joked with fellow leaders as they posed for a group picture and yukked it up as photographers kept snapping. Hours earlier Obama had sermonized about the deaths of five police Texas police officers upon landing in Warsaw, saying that 'when people are armed with powerful weapons, unfortunately it makes it more deadly and more tragic.' 'And in the days ahead we are going to have to consider...

The tragic shooting of twelve police officers and the murder of five by snipers in Dallas, Texas on Thursday night seems to confirm an argument against the Black Lives Matter movement -- namely that protests against the police foment a culture that endangers their lives and undermines the public's belief in law and order.A new book by Heather Mac Donald presents a very sophisticated argument. The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe presents evidence of a spike in crime over the past few years coinciding with the growing movement against police...

With all the debate and polls on who should be Trumps VP, real life circumstances points out where Trump will need help the most and who could help him the most. And that is Dr Ben Carson. The Balkanization of America is its greatest threat. Dr Carson is the only candidate who has shown the ability to lower the hostility between individuals and with different racial and cultural groups. The country is divided and to be any where successful Trump will need help uniting people. Anybody can guide him with the inner workings of government but only a high profile...

Hillary Clinton used a CNN interview on Friday to completely embrace the Democrats’ claim that white people and cops must change to help reduce the number of African-Americans killed in tense exchanges with cops. “I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have ‘The Talk,’ about, you now, how to really protect themselves [from police], when they’re the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with police,” Clinton told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “I’m going to be talking to...

MSNBC anchor Brian Williams has been hosting the live reaction to the horrible shooting in Dallas. On Friday, the journalist brought on a guest to claim that Black Lives Matter protesters have never been “anti-police.” Sherrilyn Ifill of the NAACP and Williams also hinted that more gun control was needed in the wake of the killing. Speaking of bringing people together, Ifill claimed, “That's what the Black Lives Matter protests have been about. That's what the policing protests have been about, they have never been anti-police.”In 2015, some Black Lives Matter protesters chanted, "When I say 'Oink, oink’ you...

Police say officers have been targeted in Tennessee, Georgia and Missouri in the aftermath of two high-profile killings of black men by law enforcement. The attack in Tennessee occurred hours before the killing of five police officers in Dallas on Thursday night during a protest. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says the attacker told authorities that he was frustrated by the recent killings by police of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. Police have not disclosed a motive in Friday's attacks in Georgia and Missouri, which have been described as ambushes. In a fourth attack early Friday, a motorist fired...

Israel has announced that it will be building 800 new housing units. Of these, 560 will be in Maale Adumim, a town of 40,000 located four miles east of Jerusalem, and 240 will be in three Jerusalem neighborhoods.State Department spokesman John Kirby reacted with unusually strong language: If it’s true, this … would be the latest step in what seems to be the systematic process of land seizures, settlement expansions, and legalization of outposts that is fundamentally undermining the prospects for a two-state solution. We oppose steps like these which we believe are counterproductive.Kirby added that Washington was “deeply concerned”:...

Will any of our Media outlets connect the dots? Connect the dots between the BLM, New Black Panthers and Social Justice Warriors and the Communist Party USA and now Islam. Too much? I don't think so. It's all there, right in front of them and they don't report on these connections. We all know, or should know that A.N.S.W.E.R and Int'l ANSWER have been involved and while they have been at this sort of crap for many years, there is no reason to discount their money and organizational influence. Just look at the signs they "Produce" and distribute for protest...

The terrible murders of five police officers in Dallas, with the wounding of seven more, was a coordinated attack following a Black Lives Matter Rally in the north Texas city. A wave of protests has swept the nation after two black men were killed, one each in Louisiana and Minnesota, this week. It was the deadliest single day for police officers in America since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 — but in this case, police officers were specifically targeted. Dallas police Chief David Brown said, “(They were) working together with rifles, triangulating at elevated positions in different points...

Katrina,A few weeks ago you suggested to a man that he should consider finding another church. My opinion is that shopping for a new parish shouldn’t be done before extensive prayer for your present parish.– C——————–Dear C, I don’t actually disagree with you; I’m not of a mind to advise superficial church-hopping, especially when it’s about something related to church decor, or a Mass schedule that suits one’s preference. There is a good argument to be made that remaining in your geographical parish is important in maintaining the strength of a community.That is not always the case, though. If...

For the first time in my life today, I was nervous taking a morning stroll down the streets of New York—well, if not completely scared, at least seriously tense. And this was 8 a.m. or so in a decent neighborhood, Amsterdam in the eighties to be exact. Admittedly, I was feeling a little jet lagged and not quite myself, just having returned from Europe last night. But the news on arrival that five cops had been slaughtered in Dallas (my plane didn't have Wi-Fi) was almost unbearable after having endured the "exoneration" of Hillary Clinton while I was away.What country...

As the family, about 30 people in total, began searching the beach, Frost, his twin brother Steve, and Martin saw kids digging holes in the sand around the place where the toddler had been last seen. The men began searching the holes, digging down deeper in them. That is when Martin felt the boy beneath the sand and saw his blue swim trunks. The 3-foot hole the toddler was digging had collapsed on top of him. According to Frost, finding the boy was not the joyous moment it should have been: “We started digging, and Jesse found this little boy,...

The State Department is reopening its internal review of Hillary Clinton's use of email now that the Department of Justice has completed its investigation, a department spokesman said Thursday evening. "Given the Department of Justice has now made its announcement, the State Department intends to conduct its internal review," State Department spokesman John Kirby said Thursday.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she doesn't want to think about the possibility of Donald Trump winning the White House, and she predicts the next president — "whoever she will be" — will have a few appointments to make to the Supreme Court. In an interview Thursday in her court office, the 83-year-old justice and leader of the court's liberal wing said she presumes Democrat Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Asked what if Republican Donald Trump won instead, she said, "I don't want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for...

U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown has been indicted on federal mail and wire fraud charges following a lengthy investigation of a bogus scholarship fund that made vast sums available for personal use. Her chief of staff, Ronnie Simmons, also was indicted. Brown, 69, faces up to 357 years in prison, a fine of up to $4 million and three years of supervised release. She pleaded not guilty on all counts.

In elections generally – but this one in particular – things are not always what they seem. Take the apparent exculpation of Hillary Clinton by FBI Director James Comey. The Democrats responded with a statement that the issue is now “resolved” because the target will not be indicted. But, not so fast. The failure to indict was not an exoneration, and what the public witnessed – the secret meeting between the head of Justice and target’s husband, the job offer to Clinton’s would-be prosecutor, and the FBI’s dossier of her misdeeds – was in effect a second trial, and it...
