Judge closes lid on allegations in ATF case

A federal judge clamped a lid on allegations of misconduct against several U.S. Department of Justice attorneys in a case involving retired ATF Agent Jay Dobyns of Tucson.

FBI Agents under investigation in murder of LaVoy Finicum.

An FBI agent is suspected of lying about firing twice at Robert "LaVoy" Finicum and may have gotten help from four other FBI agents in covering up afterward, authorities revealed Tuesday. The bullets didn't hit Finicum and didn't contribute to his death, but now all five unnamed agents, part of an elite national unit, are under criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department. Inspector General Michael Horowitz is leading the independent inquiry.

Even as Chancellor Merkel continues pursuing a deal with Turkey, Austria and its Balkan neighbors to the south have taken things into their own hands. With fences going up across the region, Greece is in trouble and the EU can't figure out what to do.

So if you’re against torture, the good news for you is that Donald Trump is too. On the other hand, if you’re for torture, the good news for you is that Donald Trump is too! Trump is a Rorschach ink blot. You get to project what you want. He is your wildest imaginations, all of your hopes and dreams, the caretaker of your concerns, and in short, everything to everyone.

Too bad.

Michael Bloomberg Will Not Enter Presidential Race

Extremely busy (and tiring) last few days.

Back home from the hospital into a bunch of stuff that had been postponed for more than a week. I am being excoriated in comments and emails by the Trump true believers/neo-Nazis/trolls for a variety of sins, including my "deliberate" ignoring the arrests of the Bunkerville Fourteen. The fact is that days ago I reached out to Jerry Delemus' wife with offers to help in any way I can but have as yet received no reply. When I get more, you will know more. In the mean time, it seems there are those who believe I am going to hell for disrespecting their new Saint Trump of Gotham City. I'll take my chances.

Another Trump-loving, pus-filled alternate universe heard from.

Trump as the neo-Nazis imagine him to be.

I ain't caching nothing... I am going to need my hardware when you Jew loving militia fags try and overthrow our glorious leader, Trump... Death to jew loving race traitors (that would be you)! When you coming to PA pussy?

Cruz: Brokered convention would lead to voter 'revolt'

Ted Cruz poured cold water on the calls to stop GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump during a brokered convention, warning that there could be hell to pay with the grass roots if they believe their will is being disregarded.

"Any time you hear someone talking about a brokered convention, it is the Washington establishment in a fevered frenzy, they are really frustrated because all their chosen candidates, their golden children, the voters keep rejecting," Cruz said Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). "So they seize on this plan of a brokered convention, and the D.C. power brokers will drop someone in who is exactly to the liking of the Washington establishment. If that would happen, we would have a manifest revolt on our hands all across this country." In Cruz's mind, there's one way to beat Donald Trump: "with the voters."

UK Royal Marine unit ditches the SA80 for Colt C8

A high-profile UK Royal Marine unit has been re-equipped with the Colt Canada C8 carbine to enhance its ability to protect the Royal Navy's nuclear deterrent submarine base and nuclear weapon convoys. The move makes the unit the first British non-special forces unit to completely drop the bullpup L85A2 (SA80) rifle used by the rest of the regular forces. Various UK special forces units already use the C8, which is designated the L119 in British service. . .

The logic behind the move was because the L119 has "reduced ricochet, limited collateral damage" features. Both the L119 and L85A2 are chambered in the NATO-standard 5.56x45 mm round, indicating that 43 Commando will be using a low-velocity round for its L119s. The Royal Navy said this was a "one-off" purchase and was not a signal that the Royal Marines 3 Commando Brigade was going to be re-equipped with new weapon.

"Lucky."

I guess so.

"Lt Edwin Wright of the 404th Fighter Group

Wright belonged to the Ninth Air Force, which, following the ground invasion of France in June 1944, moved its bases from Britain to mainland Europe in order to provide closer support to the advancing troops. This picture was taken near St Trond, Belgium.

It was not the first time Wright's aircraft had been hit on a mission. By the time this photograph was taken, the 19-year-old had completed 39 missions and survived being hit by flak six times.

Wright was considered a very fortunate man by his squadron, who nicknamed him Lucky for his ability to evade death. The hole here measured eight inches in diameter in an 11-inch propeller. If the damage had been an inch and a half over on either side, the blade would have severed and Wright would have been brought down.

Wright died, aged 34, from lung cancer."

Oath-Breaking Governor and LEOs Torpedo West Virginia ‘Constitutional Carry’

For the second year in a row, West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin vetoed a bill that would recognize the right of citizens 21 and over to carry a gun concealed without permission from state bureaucrats, the Associated Press reported Thursday. Tomblin was flanked by “dozens of police officers and deputies,” there to provide PR support and imagery intended to “legitimize” the governor’s flouting of “shall not be infringed.”
