Twenty-seven-year-old former Marine Jon Hammar of Palmetto Bay will be released Friday from a Mexican prison, according to U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.
Hammar was arrested over the summer in Mexico because he carried an antique shotgun over the border. He and his family and said it was an honest mistake.“No American should be in a Mexican jail for five months without being able to have his case in front of a judge,” said Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL). Nelson made a direct appeal to the Mexican ambassador to the U.S. “We’re grateful; this is a good Christmas present.”
In a recent photo, Hammar was shown in prison chained to a bed causing concern amongst his family. http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/12/21/ex-marine-to-be-released-from-mexican-jail-friday/

In the December 19th edition of TIME Magazine, Andrew Breitbart was honored in the publication's "Tribute to Those We Lost" for 2012. Andrew was a warrior, a new media pioneer, and a loving husband and father. He is terribly missed by all those here at Breitbart News. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/12/20/TIME-Magazine-Tribute-to-Andrew-Breitbart

As Republicans sift through the wreckage of the presidential election and Democrats brace for the 2014 midterms, there is one clear point of agreement between them: Independent voters no longer decide elections. [Independents went heavily for Romney. However, it was the under-informed and uninformed who learn all their news from the likes of Jon Stewart and David Letterman, Bill Maher and the like, who turned the election to Obama.]

We
live in an entertainment culture soaked in graphic, often sadistic,
violence. Older folks find themselves stunned by what a desensitized
youth finds routine, often amusing. It’s not just movies. Young men sit
for hours pulling video-game triggers, mowing down human beings en masse
without pain or consequence. And we profess shock when a small cadre of
unstable, deeply deranged, dangerously isolated young men go out and
enact the overlearned narrative.
If
we’re serious about curtailing future Columbines and Newtowns,
everything — guns, commitment, culture — must be on the table. It’s not
hard for President Obama to call out the NRA. But will he call out the
ACLU? And will he call out his Hollywood friends?

Democrats
and the media insist the Community Reinvestment Act, the anti-redlining
law beefed up by President Clinton, had nothing to do with the subprime
mortgage crisis and recession.
But
a new study by the respected National Bureau of Economic Research
finds, "Yes, it did. We find that adherence to that act led to riskier
lending by banks."
Added
NBER: "There is a clear pattern of increased defaults for loans made by
these banks in quarters around the (CRA) exam. Moreover, the effects
are larger for loans made within CRA tracts," or predominantly
low-income and minority areas.
