American Bar Association Says UN Arms Treaty Consistent With 2nd Amendment
“Though the amendment protects “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,” it does not protect the right to supply arms to persons who are not themselves among “the people” of the United States.”
DeMint Abruptly Announces Retirement
In a statement, the South Carolina Senator revealed that although he is leaving Capitol Hill, he’ll remain in Washington as the next president of the conservative Heritage Foundation, a prominent think-tank located just a few blocks from DeMint’s old office.
Polling Shows We Don’t Trust Major Media
From The Heritage Foundation, I’m Ernest Istook. Almost two-thirds of America–60%–don’t trust the media. Here’s one example of why. Mitt Romney released tax returns showing that last year he paid $1.9-million in taxes–a rate of about 14%–and gave away over $4-million. He got little praise for being unselfish, but was criticized for not deducting the entire [...]
Justice is Slow Regarding Fast and Furious
From The Heritage Foundation, I’m Ernest Istook. Operation Fast and Furious was a shameful plan by federal officials to let firearms be smuggled to Mexican druglords.

It’s Time To End Those Phony “Hate Group” Labels

Those reckless labels can be dangerous. This week an armed man–who volunteers on behalf of same-sex rights–brought a gun, 50 rounds of ammunition, and 15 [...]
Well-Known D.C. Homeless Man Peter Bis Reportedly Dead, Interviewed By TRNS In ’08
Peter Bis, a homeless man well-known to the Capitol Hill community, reportedly died Wednesday evening. Bis was often found perched out in front of the Heritage Foundation, counting down the days until the weekend and advising passerby to not go skinny dipping. In 2008, TRNS interns Brandon Plocinski and Elizabeth Sachs performed an interview with [...]
You Can’t Have It Both Ways
From The Heritage Foundation, I’m Ernest Istook. Has Medicare been robbed to pay the huge costs of Obamacare? Absolutely yes, Obamacare takes hundreds of billions of dollars out of Medicare and spends it on Obamacare instead. That will hasten Medicare’s bankruptcy by several years, perhaps happening just four years from now instead of twelve years from [...]
