    n spite of Vice President Joe Biden’s threat in this morning’s gun grab task force meeting that “executive actions” are on the way, the legitimacy and survivability of such a move is by no means assured, as the gun ban juggernaut, reanimated following Sandy Hook, has encountered some unforeseen bumps in the road that have the potential of halting it in its tracks with no place to go that isn’t blocked.

    MONTEBELLO - A city commissioner was sentenced Thursday to four years probation for his fourth drunken-driving conviction. David Miranda, 43, was appointed to his position as civil service commissioner in March 2005. He also works for the Montebello Unified School District as a job developer, helping high school graduates find jobs. The terms of his probation include having his driver's license suspended for two years, serving 15 days in county jail, and serving 18 months in an alcohol rehabilitation program. The four DUIs are not the only legal trouble that Miranda has been in over the last 20 years. He...

    On 19 June American forces sealed off Baqubah and began attacking targets within the city. The immediate goal of Arrowhead Ripper was to free Baqubah of al Qaeda, by trapping and killing its members, but according to American officers here, public remarks by senior military officials may have flushed many AQI leaders before the attack. Despite this frustrating and significant setback, progress toward the end-state goal of Arrowhead Ripper—turning over Baqubah to Iraqi government control—appears to be working, at least in terms of the removal of the current AQI leadership and its quasi-government.

    Picture this: a man dressed in a dark overcoat and wearing a mask walks into a bank with a large bag and a shotgun. He walks up to the first teller window, shoves the gun in the teller’s face and demands all of the money in the register. Just as the teller starts filling the sack, the police arrive. One of the policeman quietly comes up behind the robber, bops him on the noggin and knocks him unconscious. Within seconds, FBI agents arrive and arrest the policeman for using too much force in capturing the robber. As they take the...

    A delegation of 30 French National Police officers and their superiors had come to the Calabasas station on a mission to learn how their American counterparts enforce the law. While in Southern California, the French officers will spend time on the roads to observe local law enforcement practices and will attend public events to see how the agencies deal with crowd control.

    There have been many postings on why the GOP lost. Blame is going everywhere except where it belongs. The people let it happen. You have to say one thing for the moon bats. They make themselves heard. They get out and stir sh!t up. They get media exposure. Most of the regular people write letters, send faxes, email, and call when they should be getting together with a million like minded citizens and scaring the heck out of the pols. With 80 million gun owners in the U.S., if just one tenth of them picked a weekend and headed for...

    Shadow Government of the United States and the Decline of America In spite of the difficulties facing America, there is still no other place I would rather live; however, our nation is at a crossroads, not unlike the difficulties faced by our forefathers. Many of the same conditions that prompted the Declaration of Independence prevail in America today. Of the indictments against the King of Great Britain, our Founders declared: "He has erected a Multitude of new offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People and eat out their Substance." There are literally hundreds of thousands of...

    CBN.com – NORTHERN GAZA BORDER- One major reason for the success of Hamas in the recent Palestinian elections is its widespread social network. The group that wants to destroy Israel also has a compassionate side when it comes to Palestinian Muslims. But the U.S. taxpayer may be helping to fund Hamas social services. CBN News sent a crew to Gaza to learn about Hamas' rise to success. When Hamas representatives were asked where would be the best place to see the group in action, they suggested the Al Wafa Charitable Society. The Al Wafa Society welcomed its visitors with pictures...

    As an enlightened, modern parent, I try to be as involved as possible in the lives of my six children. I encourage them to join team sports. I attend their teen parties with them to ensure no drinking or alcohol is on the premises. I keep a fatherly eye on the CDs they listen to and the shows they watch, the company they keep and the books they read. You could say I'm a model parent. My children have never failed to make me proud, and I can say without the slightest embellishment that I have the finest family in...

    JAKARTA, Indonesia - In the world's most populous Muslim nation, not everyone is entirely happy to see Americans in helicopters handing out food and water to the hungry victims of last week's tsunami. Though Secretary of State Colin Powell on Tuesday expressed hope that the sight of U.S. soldiers passing out aid would help ease anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world, many Muslims say they cannot ignore that the same U.S. military that invaded Iraq and Afghanistan is now engaged in its largest operation in South Asia since the Vietnam War. "It's true we need help from the U.S. right...
