The Michigan Senate stoops to new lows of stupidity in its groveling for NRA dollars. As a firearm owner and CPL holder, I find this legislation incredibly idiotic. Hopefully Snyder will veto again.

CLP holders that have already been fingerprinted with the FBI, background checked, trained, will receive additional training.

Isn't that what the anti gun lefties always bitch about? Back ground checks, and additional training over top of additional training?

I get that you would rather have the gun free slaughter zones where anyone can walk in and face absolutely no return fire, but history has shown over and over and over and over and over that is highly ineffective to reducing mass causalities.

Saudi Arabia has ordered all of its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately.

DAMN. INTERESTING. Good coverage. Still, I have yet to find any coverage of this that marries the financial side to the political side. FOLLOW THE MONEY.


Saudi Arabia's attorney general says the kingdom has called in 208 people for questioning in a sweeping probe, estimating that $100 billion has been misused through embezzlement and corruption in past decades.

Saud al-Mojeb said in a statement on Thursday that seven people were released without charge, leaving 201 people still detained.

Critics and observers say the purge that has targeted top princes, officials, military officers and businessmen is a power grab by the crown prince to sideline potential rivals and critics.

An estimated 1700 bank accounts have been frozen.

Al-Mojeb says action was taken to suspend personal bank accounts, but did not disclose any figures. The government has also declined to name the individuals being questioned, saying it is respecting their privacy during this phase of the process.

$100bn. Saudi foreign reserves down from $700bn+ in 2014 to under $500bn now. Pretty easy to imagine they'll find significantly more in 1700 frozen accounts. Pretty easy to see an "anti-corruption drive" as financially motivated rather than just a consolidation of existing power. It may be a demonstration of already-consolidated power, but what it clearly is looking like is a financial windfall for a country with a very troubled financial future.

It's not like they have never been below 500bn in reserves.
