Earlier in the month I reported on the media shield bill recently passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now that the bill is moving forward through the lawmaking process, a coalition of big media companies are putting their highly paid lobbying muscle behind it.

Big Media Conglomerates Pushing Shield Law”
And now the ultimate in “zero tolerance” stupidity. A school has expelled a boy from school because they heard he was playing with a toy gun in his own front yard.
Showing the essential hypocrisy just below the surface of all liberals, Paul Nickerson, a so-called “worker’s rights” activist in Maine, filmed himself harassing a ticket agent at a bus terminal after the agent misunderstood his ticket order. The liberal is heard telling the man that he hopes he loses his job to an electronic ticket machine. So much for “worker solidarity,” eh?
CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin is aghast that Republicans would try to defund Obamacare and she is sure that the founding fathers would support Obama’s signature healthcare law because, well, “it’s a law.”
It isn’t America any more when a parent can’t even ask a civil question at a town hall without having the jackbooted thugs that claim to “serve” the people forcibly ejecting him from the room. But that is what happened in the People’s Republic of Maryland this month when a parent was asking how the school curriculum would prepare kids for college.
Many in the media and the left claim that it is absurd when people say that the only reason Democrats care about amnesty is so that they can get millions of instant Democrat voters, but not every leftist tries to hide behind that lie. Some leftists, Like ACORN’s Bertha Lewis, are telling the truth. 
Former Progressive Congressman and now Fox News contributor Dennis Kucinich has interviewed Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad. The interview aired on Fox on Wednesday night, September 18.
CNN has announced that its HLN network will be helmed by television executive Albie Hecht starting September 30. Hecht is a long-time TV executive that has headed up several other channels, but he is also a big donor to the Democrat Party.
Proving once again that the Democrat Party is the “more loving” and “more caring” Party, a Democrat Party official in California told a female Republican operative who opposes Obamacare that he hoped her children would “all die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases.”
A textbook in Texas has been discovered teaching that Americans have no individual right to keep and bear arms, essentially telling kids that only the military–or an organized militia–can have arms under the Constitution.
The welfare state has grown too large to support any longer, says the Dutch King, Willem-Alexander. The King now says that the Dutch instead need to encourage a “participation society.”
The CEO of Starbucks Coffee shops has made a decision. He wants customers with the legal right to carry a gun to stay out of his coffee shops. But he lies when he says he is not anti-gun.
Before they had any facts at all, a handful of liberals in politics and the media immediately jumped on TV using the Navy Yard shooting to blame so-called “assault rifles,” and the AR-15 in particular, and others used the crime to push their political ideology. As it turned out, though, there was 
New York’s billionaire Mayor Michael “Nanny” Bloomberg is well known as a hater of our Second Amendment rights, of course, but he has been caught again lying about the true facts in order to push his ideology on the country. This time he was caught lying about how many children are shot in America.
Brandon Darby, one-time liberal activist and now a Breitbart contributor, is the subject of 
A leaked copy of a UN report on global warming says that scientist’s claims that global warming was going to destroy us were drastically wrong.
On September 11, the City of Chicago finally dumped its unconstitutional requirement that gun owners register their guns with the city.
We are hearing from many of our representatives that it just isn’t possible to defund Obamacare because the House rules say they can’t. This, as it happens, is just a dodge. The House has defunded separate things while passing the rest of a budget many times.
