Arizona DHS: Loughner not influenced by extremist group
The Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center, a division of the Arizona Department of Homeland Security, acknowledges to my colleague Ken Vogel that it produced a memo reported on by Fox News over the weekend that suggested the suspect in the Tucson attacks may have been influenced by American Renaissance -- a theory it now says the evidence does not support: David Denlinger, commander of the Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center ack...

Jeff Kass: Jared Loughner, Columbine and Diversion
Tucson shooting suspect Jared Loughner shared an unusual legal background, known as diversion, with the Columbine killers, as recounted in the New York Times. It may also be a window into the character trait of these mass shooters. "In September, Mr. Loughner filled out paperwork to have his record expunged on a 2007 drug paraphernalia charge," the Times reported. "Although he did not need to bother -- he had completed a diversion program so the charge was never actually on his record -- the i...

Rush Limbaugh Poetry: Democrats Helping Jared Loughner Avoid Jail
Let’s throw it to our top Arizona legal analyst, Rush Limbaugh, Esq., sitting in a hole of Excellent Broadcasting on the other side of the country: “This guy clearly understands he’s getting all the attention and he understands he’s got a political party doing everything it can, plus a local sheriff doing everything that they can to make sure he’s not convicted of Murder.” Poetic! Rush Limbaugh is using this opportunity of pundits’ examining their rhetor...

Gun bans won't work
Every time a person goes on a Killing Spree politicians start pointing fingers at each other. Liberals claim that the killings represent the need for better Gun Control.

Gabrielle Giffords in Arozona, Jared Lee Loughner, had serious mental problems. That is our problem with the present Gun Laws. We can’t keep ...

Media Pivots to Blame Gun Laws
Yesterday evening I was on AC360 to discuss the Arizona Tragedy with David Gergen and Roland Martin. While I personally like Gergen, his knowledge of Arizona’s Gun Laws and invalid premises on conceal carry were a disservice to our discussion. He presupposes that Jared Lee Loughner was a CCW permit holder, and thus, right to carry failed, which, to all knowledge Loughner did not possess a permit, a violation of AZ law.

Jon Stewart, Voice of Reason for the Left?
It truly is a sad day for politics and a terrible indictment of the Left and Liberal media in the United States, when the voice of reason seems to be a comedian, Jon Stewart.  Discussing the shooting rampage that took place in Arizona on Saturday, January 8, 2011, by Jared Lee Loughner, Stewart refrained from his usual funny take on current events to share his personal thoughts.  As BuddyTV says of Stewart's comments, "His reaction was, for the most part, serious, often ra...

Shootings show need to boost mental health system

Loughner Believed Grammar Has a Politics. So Did the First Grammarian
In the gymnasium of Conspiracy, Jared Lee Loughner's belief that "The government is implying mind control and brain wash on the people by controlling grammar" seems unusually tortured, not least because it inflicts on us his own vigorous desire to Be Free of the shackles of correct Speech. Recently, a connection has been drawn between Loughner's beliefs and the fringe of fantasy Scholarship, the writings of grammar conspiracy maven and self-proclaimed King of Hawaii, David Wynn Miller. As it tu...

Daniel Hernandez may have saved Gabrielle Giffords' life. Send us other examples of memorable interns!
Daniel HernandezWhen I was a junior in High School, I interned for Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois. I answered the phone. I created a database of important addresses. The one time I met her, I shook her hand and stuttered an unimpressive introduction. I did not, at any point, save her life. In other words, I was no Daniel Hernandez, the University of Arizona junior who may have saved the life of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords after she was shot in the head on Saturday. Not too many interns save their b...
