In a detailed look at Donald Trump’s first year in office – which Democrats and their media allies have persistently tried to tie in knots – veteran political writer Paul Bedard lays out a strong case in the Washington Examiner for putting the president clearly in the winner’s column.
Listing 81 accomplishments, from the economy and jobs to improving America’s trade position and national security, Bedard covers lots of ground. From all indications, according to Bedard’s narrative, the president is doing what he promised. He is making America great again, say supporters. |

The Giffords Law Center for Prevent Gun Violence filed a lawsuit this week in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California against the Justice Department after the agency did not respond to multiple Freedom of Information Act requests. |

Hundreds of people turned up Saturday morning for a well-publicized gun buyback opportunity that officials hope will make the community safer. It was so popular that many left without their hoped-for holiday cash. Lured by the promise of $100 to $200 per weapon, with no questions asked, participants schlepped bags full of pistols, rifles and shotguns, many of them old and rugged. “My brother in Arkansas rabbit-hunted with it all last year,” Willie Shelton, 67, of the city’s Penrose neighborhood, said of a pump 20-gauge shotgun that hadn’t been oiled in a long time. “It was just sitting in the corner, and I heard on the news that I could get $150.” |

Last year will go down in the history books as a year when NRA members won what some would call more than our fair share of the battles we fought in trying to save the Second Amendment. But as we leave 2017 behind and enter another new year, one thing is for certain—the need to fight for our right to keep and bear arms is greater now than ever before. |

The event was a nod to the 18th-century custom of firing cannons and muskets to celebrate Christmas and express joy, according to Colonial Williamsburg.

Walking into a firearm shop can be overwhelming if you don’t know much about guns, according to Kelsey Scribner. “Typical gun stores are very intimidating,” she said. “If you don’t know what questions to ask or what you’re looking for, they don’t always make you feel welcome.” But that’s not the environment customers will find at the Wyoming Gun Company, said Scribner, who opened the business with her husband, Jeremy, and her parents, Jerry and Marcia Davis, on Nov. 16. The shooting center and retail store is a family-friendly facility that welcomes both gun aficionados and novices.

Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin had other municipalities in mind Tuesday night when his city became the first in the nation to ban bump stocks, a device that can turn semi-automatic rifles into guns that can fire nearly as fast as automatic weapons. Someone, he reasoned, had to be first. Drafted after a Las Vegas gunman used a bump stock during the deadly Oct. 1 mass shooting that left 59 dead and hundreds injured, the ordinance bans the possession of a gun with such a device attached within city limits.

In theory at least, the worst of the Christmas hub-bub is behind us all. We hope you’re down to making memories to cherish always, and of the sort not tied to commercial things. Such can certainly be a pleasure, and especially when given. Either way, we wish you joys wrought of meaning and not merely sensation. Right around the corner is the New Year. We expect we’re not alone in the impulse to take on something new or better (like dumping some holiday-acquired pounds, for starters!), but we’ve got two particulars in mind—be more deliberate in our training, and get back to better long gun skills.

Not one U.S. Senator representing the West Coast states of California, Oregon and Washington voted in favor of tax reform, which may leave them having to explain to voters – who are also taxpayers – why not, considering what a Bellevue small business announced, and this outfit is not alone. Bellevue-based APPS Portamedic, according to KIRO News, the CBS affiliate in Seattle, is giving bonuses to its employees. The company will pay lower taxes.
