Martin O'Malley mocks Hillary Clinton's 'inevitable' nomination
Hillary Clinton may be the presumptive Democratic frontrunner in the 2016 presidential race, but she is by no means the party's 'inevitable' nominee, a likely challenger said Thursday.
'Maybe that's the way it is today,' former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley acknowledged on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' program.
'Most years there is the inevitable frontrunner. And that inevitable frontrunner is inevitable right up until he or she is no longer inevitable,' he added.

DICK ACT of 1902 . . . CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN)
THE TRUMP CARD ENACTED BY CONGRESS FURTHER ASSERTING THE SECOND AMENDMENT AS UNOUTCHABLE
The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws. It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities.
The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, the unorganized militia and the regular army. The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy.
The Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The President of the United States has zero authority without violating the Constitution to call the National Guard to serve outside of their State borders.
The National Guard Militia can only be required by the National Government for limited purposes specified in the Constitution (to uphold the laws of the Union; to suppress insurrection and repel invasion). These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call upon the National Guard.
Attorney General Wickersham advised President Taft, "the Organized Militia (the National Guard) can not be employed for offensive warfare outside the limits of the United States."

Mysterious Spy Cameras At Post Offices
DENVER — Within an hour of FOX31 Denver discovering a hidden camera, which was positioned to capture and record the license plates and facial features of customers leaving a Golden Post Office, the device was ripped from the ground and disappeared.
FOX31 Denver investigative reporter Chris Halsne confirmed the hidden camera and recorder is owned and operated by the United State Postal Inspection Service, the law enforcement branch of the U.S. Postal Service.
The recording device appeared to be tripped by any vehicle leaving the property on Johnson Road, but the lens was not positioned to capture images of the front door, employee entrance, or loading dock areas of the post office.
An alert customer first noticed the data collection device, hidden inside a utilities box, around Thanksgiving 2014. It stayed in place, taking photos through the busy Christmas holidays and into mid-January.
Managers inside the post office tell FOX31 Denver they were unaware customers were being photographed outside and that the surveillance was not part of the building’s security monitoring.

Audio Annoyances
Last week, The New York Times published an essay from Barron H. Lerner, a primary care physician who described his struggle with misophonia, an irritating condition in which “certain sounds can drive someone into a burst of rage or disgust.”
Perhaps you or someone you know is also driven up the wall by the sound of say, knuckles cracking or incessant sniffling.
If this sounds familiar, you may be pleased to know that, when Dr. Lerner asked readers to submit their own biggest audio annoyances, food-related noises ranked among the top five most annoying sounds.
Knuckle cracking rankled 8 percent of readers, nail clipping disgusted 10 percent, and nose sniffling distressed a solid 17 percent of readers.
Finally, however, the top two spots were reserved for food-based audio.
Gum snapping drove 18 percent of people crazy, while the final, most rage-inducing noise was soup slurping, which plagued one in four readers, or 25 percent.
The Times has also provided short audio clips of these sounds, if, for some reason, you need to test yourself.
Navy SEAL who shot and killed Bin Laden is offered a job at Fox News
Fox News has hired the former Navy SEAL who is believed to have shot and killed Osama Bin Laden as a contributor.
Former Team Six leader Rob O'Neill will offer military expertise and analysis across various daytime and primetime programs, the network announced.
The decorated ex-solider, who has been involved in more than 400 combat missions and deployed a dozen times, was profiled in the channel's documentary The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden, last year.

LaRouche: O'Malley is Right about Glass-Steagall
Since last Friday, March 6, in Concord, New Hampshire, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has been pressing his exploratory bid for the 2016 Democratic Presidential nomination around the central issue of the restoration of Franklin Roosevelt's Glass-Steagall law of 1933, overturned in 1999.
Obama, Selma, and Anti-Communism as Racism
When Rudy Giuliani dared to name Frank Marshall Davis (Communist Party card no. 47544) as an influence on a young Obama, liberals ripped their garments and wailed “blasphemy!” Rudy’s unpardonable sin reminded them of all sorts of noxious behavior. And in some cases, it reminded liberals of -- what else? -- racism.
“This week’s race to the bottom, led by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, is proving why Americans are learning to hate politics and the media,” stated Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Giuliani even used an old racial dog whistle of the Civil Rights era, communism.”
To illustrate Rudy’s effrontery, Todd played a clip of this blatant display of racism: “[Obama’s] grandfather introduced him to Frank Marshall Davis,” said Rudy, “who was a communist.”

Truck driver in Amtrak crash in NC has history of violations
RALEIGH, N.C. — The truck driver whose failure to maneuver an oversized rig through a railroad crossing derailed an Amtrak train and injured 55 people this week is a convicted felon with a long history of traffic citations, court records show.
John Devin Black, 43, has been cited for at least a dozen traffic violations, including speeding and driving with a revoked license multiple times, according to records reviewed and confirmed by The Associated Press.
In Illinois, Black was arrested in December 2012 and charged with exceeding the permitted weight limit on his load. He was quickly released on a $177 secured bond, but then failed to appear in court the following month.
Black also served prison time in 1997 after being convicted of felony child abuse in North Carolina, and his other criminal convictions include assaulting a woman, violating a domestic violence protective order, and repeatedly writing worthless checks.

Hillary Suffers From 'Clinton Privilege'
Hillary Clinton suffers from "Clinton privilege" — an expectation of entitlement, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said Thursday on "The Five."
"It's like white privilege," Gutfeld said. "You feel like you're entitled to everything that you want."
In Clinton's case, she believes she is entitled to the presidency, Gutfeld said, explaining, "The White House is the pony that she was promised … for letting this young man, Barack Obama, go first. Remember, she deserved it, but she let him go. This was the deal, and she's ticked off."

No One Read Hillary’s Emails Before Deleting Them
(Breitbart) -- Looks like we’ve got our answer to one of the lingering questions I listed after Hillary Clinton’s train-wreck press conference! It was Question Number 8, to be exact:
Clinton insists that the 30,000 emails she has deleted – purportedly about half of the correspondence stored on her server – was personal in nature. Who made that determination, and what criteria were used? Even if her claims are taken at face value, it seems unlikely Clinton herself reviewed the messages one at a time. Who assisted her in this task, and what security clearance did they possess?
The answer, courtesy of Time: nobody read the emails before deleting them.
For more than a year after she left office in 2013, she did not transfer work-related email from her private account to the State Department. She commissioned a review of the 62,320 messages in her account only after the department–spurred by the congressional investigation–asked her to do so.
And this review did not involve opening and reading each email; instead, Clinton’s lawyers created a list of names and keywords related to her work and searched for those. Slightly more than half the total cache–31,830 emails–did not contain any of the search terms, according to Clinton’s staff, so they were deemed to be “private, personal records.”

D.C. firefighters accused of assaulting police officers in 2 separate incidents
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Two D.C. firefighters—one a rookie, the other a veteran hailed as a hero after nearly losing his life in a fire—are under arrest for two separate incidents. Both are accused of assaulting a police officer, among other charges.
On Tuesday evening D.C. police say a dark sedan was speeding down Anacostia Road. Its back passenger door was open and someone was trying to jump out. The car sped through a stop sign—nearly striking two pedestrians—before running a red light. When officers finally stopped the vehicle on Croffut Place SE and tried to arrest the driver, police say he “… head butted and kicked Officer Roccato in the shin and chest.”
Richard Kirkpatrick, a rookie D.C. firefighter, was arrested.
In a separate incident Saturday night, Anne Arundel County Police responded to a call for a fight at the Irish Channel pub in Gambrills, Md. over a bar tab. Police arrested Charles “Chuck” Ryan, a veteran D.C. firefighter who was severely burned battling a house fire in 2011.
Police say Ryan was “… assaulting the officer by kicking his legs … Ryan verbally threatened the officer and made racially disparaging remarks …”

FCC Cites Soros-Funded Group 46 Times In New Regs
New internet regulations finally released by the Federal Communications Commission make 46 references to a group funded by billionaire George Soros and co-founded by a neo-Marxist.
The FCC released the 400-page document on Thursday, two weeks after it passed new regulations, which many fear will turn the internet into a public commodity and thereby stifle innovation.
“Leveling the playing field” in that way has been a clear goal of Free Press, a group dedicated to net neutrality which was founded in 2003.
As Phil Kerpen, president of the free-market group American Commitment, first noted, Free Press is mentioned repeatedly in the FCC document. Most of the references are found in footnotes which cite comments by Free Press activists supporting more internet regulation.
One argument made against the FCC’s regulatory push is that the general public is largely happy with its internet service. Support for net neutrality was seen as the domain of special interest groups like Free Press.
The activist group has big money behinds its effort. It has received $2.2 million in donations from progressive billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and $3.9 million from the Ford Foundation.

Sen. Vitter Introduces Bill to 'Prevent Birthright Tourism'
(CNSNews.com) - Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) is trying once again to advance legislation that would confer American citizenship on babies born in the United States only if those children are born to U.S. citizens or legal resident aliens.
Vitter said the amendment, attached to the Victims of Trafficing Act, would "prevent the practice of birthright tourism," where foreigners come to the U.S. for the express purpose of securing American citizenship for their babies.
“It’s astounding that we’re allowing foreign citizens to exploit the loopholes of our immigration system in this manner, and Congress has the obligation to stop it,” Vitter said. “This practice comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of the 14th Amendment, and we can stop the massive problem with some simple clarification.”
The 14th Amendment states that citizenship extends to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
Vitter's legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to prevent children born in the U.S. of foreign national parents from gaining automatic U.S. citizenship unless one of the parents is: (1) a U.S. citizen or national, (2) a lawful permanent resident, or (3) an alien performing active service in the U.S. Armed Forces.
