| Honesty in Immigration By Newt Gingrich The thousands of people we have seen marching in the streets of our cities and the planned May 1 boycott to protest U.S. immigration policy are the product of two decades of a fundamentally dishonest immigration system. For more than 20 years, the United States has failed to control the borders or enforce immigration laws while many U.S. businesses have profited by breaking the law. In turn, the U.S. government failure to enforce the immigration laws has encouraged outright defiance of federal authority by certain state and local jurisdictions. Adding insult to this deplorable state of affairs is an immigration bureaucracy that has been slow, cumbersome, rude, heartless, and incompetent in the discharge of its duties. http://nationalreview.com/comment/gingrich200604261230.asp Gary Jackson President Blackwater |

Analyst Say a Nuclear Iran is Years AwayFrom our friends at The Terrorism Research Center (http://www.terrorism.com)Western nuclear analysts said yesterday that Tehran lacked the skills, materials and equipment to make good on its immediate nuclear ambitions, even as a senior Iranian official said Iran would defy international pressure and rapidly expand its ability to enrich uranium for fuel. http://www.terrorism.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=WarReports&file=index&view=1121 Deaths During Police InterventionBy RICHARD PARENT, Ph.D.A 35-year-old male with a history of bipolar disorder fatally stabbed his 9-year-old son on the front lawn of the family residence. After shouting that he had “killed Satan,” he began removing most of his clothing. Summoned to the scene, six officers approached the irrational subject. They employed pepper spray to gain control of the combative male, handcuffed him, and “hog-tied” his legs to restrain him while they placed him in the rear of a police vehicle. As this occurred, the man suffered a massive heart attack and died. A subsequent coroner’s inquest determined that his death resulted from excited delirium. Two police officers responded to a report of a “male acting crazy and taking his clothes off.” When they arrived at the scene, they saw the man, wearing only his underwear, standing in the street. When the two officers tried to reason with him, a fight ensued. Several people in the area came to the aid of the officers in their attempt to arrest the violent, combative individual. Upon achieving control of him, the officers handcuffed the man who suddenly went into coronary arrest. The officers administered CPR but to no avail. A subsequent coroner’s investigation determined the cause of death as a cocaine overdose. http://www.fbi.gov/publications/leb/2006/april2006/april06leb.htm#page18 Getting Started: Registering with Grants.Gov is as Easy as 1, 2, 3Find, apply, and register to submit your grant applications online through Grants.gov.

FRANKS REVIEW |
Service Equipment Review:Rapid Deployment Body Armor Bag
While I was at SHOT Show, I ran into a gentleman who was presenting information about a "new gun bag". Okay... I have to admit that at first I wasn't interested. I mean, it's SHOT Show. Everyone has something new to show and the large majority of them are purely there to make a buck. Very little of it actually answers a real need. Of that, even less answers a need had by the people who work behind guns. After I got a little information my curiosity was up. After I got to actually examine the product, and test it myself (done pretty quickly but thoroughly just the same) I was quite enthusiastic. In today's world of Active Shooter / Immediate Response training, EVERY COP should have their long rifle in one of these Rapid Deployment Body Armor Bags. This is an innovation we've been waiting for. |
