(Bearing Drift) “The immigrant story has been repeated millions of times, stories such as that of one man who passed through Ellis Island years ago. A fifteen year old Italian immigrant who spoke not a word of English–little did he imagine that his son Antonin Scalia would be appointed to the highest court in the land. There to uphold and protect our Constitution, the guardian of all our freedoms. Just one of many stories that shows us that every time we swear in a new citizen , America is rededicating herself to the cause of human liberty.”

(California Political News) Do you think that your local doughnut shop, taco business or pizza parlor could afford to spend $50,000 on “risk assessment” for each of the foods it serves–because they “could cause obesity or cancer?”
Should the legislature pass SB 747 Introduced by Democrat Senator Mark DeSaulnier hundreds of thousands of people will be forced out of work on Day 1 and tens of thousands of people that invested their money in businesses will lose their investments.
SB 747 known as the ‘Public Health Epidemic Protection Act of 2013’ would require the State Dept of Public Health, for every product intended for consumer consumption–to conduct a “risk assessment evaluation” to determine whether the product contributes significantly to a significant public health epidemic.
DeSaulnier’s bill would authorize the State Dept of Public Health to charge the manufacturer of the product for ‘reasonable costs’ of producing the risk assessment and will create a “Public Health (Slush) Fund” to be used by the department–to fund the nanny state program.

(FOX News) The Father of a Connecticut child is furious after discovering that his Son’s school is teaching children, “The courts have consistently determined that the Second Amendment does not ensure each individual the right to bear arms–The courts have never found a law regulating the private ownership of guns unconstitutional,” from a worksheet entitled: The Second Amendment Today.
Wrong on both points in light of District of Columbia-v-Heller (2008) Case No. 07-290 which held “The Second Amendment protects an individual right to posses a firearm…and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home–In sum, we hold the District’s ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self defense.”
