Delta News
Former Fed Judge Oliver Wanger Earns Trial Victory
Hmmm...coupled with Judge Wanger's first public speaking event immediately after his retirement from the bench was at the Southern California Water Committee's 4th Quarter dinner in which his parting shot off the stage was (paraphrasing)...blah, blah, blah and guess what folks? I was born and raised in Beverly Hills....looks like some chumminess paying off as stated in the article. Amazing?  What was amazing was how easily Resnick got out of testifying to anything under oath.
The trial in Black's courtroom was supposed to dig deeper into the water-for-pistachios allegation against Paramount. A key witness was going to be billionaire Stewart Resnick, who owns Paramount. Because of Wanger's trial-ending move, Resnick no longer has to testify.
"It's pretty amazing," Wanger said of the trial's quick ending.

Armed Citizens Thwart Criminals
GodFatherPolitics.com
But liberals like Bob Costas, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton want to disarm Americans and take away their ability to defend themselves.  They only see the evil that some people create by using their guns illegally.  They seem to be blind to incidents where law abiding citizens use their guns to prevent those evil people from making them victims.

CalPERS Seeks to be New California 'Octypus'
CalWatchDog.com
The Wall Street Journal calls CalPERS’ assertion of unlimited powers a “ploy.” Real octopus animals squirt an “ink” that serves to keep themselves hidden or as a decoy from predators. Expect some of the same from CalPERS.
