Recently released figures have resulted in mixed interpretations among economists about the 2013 economic outlook. Some say the economy is on pace to achieve a modest recovery pointing to better than expected housing figures, and a relatively low amount of first time unemployment claims during...
Obama has bad intentions, according to Charles Krauthammer. News flash! Sure, it's a mess right now. But maybe a mess is what we needed to get this party in shape. It's a risky tactic Obama is taking, one which might just as easily backfire, as I noted in...

Much has been made of David Gregory’s alleged possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device during an airing of Meet the Press on December 23. In my mind there are two big questions to answer: 1) can the government prosecute Mr. Gregory; and 2) if...

It took five centuries before the strychnine of corruption and fatigue finally killed the Roman Empire (né Republic). It’s taken the U.S. about five decades to reach a point where such a suicidal whimper no longer seems unthinkable. If you want to know why we’re getting...

As we move into 2013 and the legal insurrections, we should learn from history. As Thomas Lifson at American Thinker points out, now that the major institutions have been surrendered, it's time to emulate the left, Here comes the Alinskyite Right: David Gregory and Piers Morgan have...

In Washington, people who are caught in possession of the type of magazine that Mr. Gregory had can face up to a year in prison, said David Benowitz, a criminal defense lawyer.“You would be arrested; you would most likely be charged with possession of an illegal magazine,” Mr. Benowitz said, adding that “depending on what time you were arrested, you would most likely be held overnight.”
Prosecutors and defense lawyers often work out a plea agreement in which defendants receive probation and have a misdemeanor charge on their criminal record, Mr. Benowitz said. If defendants have a prior criminal record or lose a jury trial, they could face a stiffer sentence.
Mr. Benowitz said the accusation from the police that NBC had asked for permission and then went ahead with showing the magazine “didn’t help Gregory’s case.”
Yeah, asking for permission is pretty damning when you ignore what you are told directly from the law enforcement authority and do it anyway.
Unfortunately, the otherwise great Greta has missed the point on this, Investigating NBC’s David Gregory? Really? Can we be any sillier?
We have so many serious issues of violence in this country — and even here in DC on our dangerous streets — that it is bizarre to me that anyone would spend (waste) 5 minutes investigating NBC’s David Gregory for this.One of the problems with the ever expanding gun laws advocated by Gregory and others is that otherwise law-abiding citizens get caught up inadvertently violating the law, like this soldier on leave from Afghanistan, while criminals do what they please and powerful people don't get prosecuted. The guns laws, as presently constituted and as proposed, turn us into a nation of men not of laws. What Greta doesn't understand is that David Gregory isn't being investigated because he's David Gregory; if he were anyone else, he'd already be in jail.
