IRS commissioner ousted over targeting of tea party

Ousted is not quite what the President did. He accepted the acting director's resignation effective in early June when his acting assignment was set to expire anyway. The man will then retire with full pension.

All of this as a result of the outrage the President claimed in yesterdays primetime press conference.
It just seems like so little so late for something that has been going on since 2010.

United at last, thanks to IRS

"President Obama weighed in on the controversy Monday, calling the allegations “outrageous.” He vowed to hold whoever is responsible accountable".

He now has held them accountable. He accepted the letter of resignation from the acting director effective in early June when his acting assignment was set to end. He will then retire with a rather large Federal pension.
If only all of us could suffer the President's outrage in this manner.

Holder defends seizure of AP’s phone records

A common thread has emerged from both the Bengasi tragedy and the AP seizure. That is the Administration's efforts to conceal any reference to terrorist activity.
Perhaps if we simply don't talk about or admit it exists it will go away.
It's about time we get our head out of the sand.
In spite of what the President said yesterday about the AP seizure, CIA Director Brennan has said that there was never a threat to the American public.
This appears to be simply the Administration wanting to send a chilling message to the American press.

Justice Department to investigate IRS’ targeting of groups

Here we go again, now everyone involved in or questioned about the IRS scandal can just say "I can't comment because of the on going criminal investigation".

New downtown bar to be like a ‘street festival’

I commend Ryan for wanting to help move the downtown area forward and to give people another reason to visit the area. Living downtown and a downtown night life can and do mesh nicely in other areas. Why not here?

Local legislator wants gun surrender for “cooling off period” in domestic situations

“Federal statute requires most of those served with full protection orders to give up their weapons, but the law is rarely enforced. It’s time for Ohio to step up and protect victims from domestic violence,” Hagan said.

That's one of the things wrong with the system. Rather than enforce an existing law let's just pass another law which probably won't be enforced either.
That's what keeps politicians looking like they're doing something when they're just spinning their wheels.
I guess Hagan has started his run for the Senate.

Don’t blame Islam for bombings

I'm on board for not blaiming all muslems for the violence of a few criminals when the liberal administration quits blaiming all gun owners for the violence of a few mentally disturbed criminals.

Gun-control advocates, NRA say battle is far from over

It would seem that the anti-gun folks are more concerned with guns in the hands of Republicans than in the hands of criminals. Perhaps this is what they see as the problem.
I guess it's easier for this administration to focus all of it's energy on background checks on law abiding citizens than on the incredible debt and high unemployment.

Man killed after firing shot at Houston airport

I would bet a months pay that the TSA agent didn't shoot this man. My guess is based soley on the record of TSA in making our airports a safer place. TSA is a total waste of tax payer money and should be eliminated in favor of private sector guards who would be more respectful of the flying public. More TSA agents have been arrested in airports than terrorists.

DeWine to propose stricter gun sentences

In the above comment I meant to say "universal background check" instead of universal registration.
Of course in my opinion they are both the same thing.
To settle for the universal background checks instead of meaningful programs that treat the dangerously mentally ill and enforcing laws that punish those criminals who misuse firearms is to do little of nothing. it amounts to more burden on the law abiding public and does nothing to prevent the tragedies of late.
