President Obama vetoes Samsung patent ban on iPhone 4 and select iPads

The Obama administration has stepped in today to veto an import ban Samsung won from the International Trade Commission to prevent the iPhone 4 and some iPads from coming into the US. The move marks the first time since 1987 that a President has interfered with an ITC order. Such import bans, which effectively prohibit the sale of certain devices, have come under scrutiny from the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission as more companies are seeking the bans instead of punitive charges to harm their competitors.

this video is awesome

The police chief of a tiny borough in Pennsylvania's coal country, who also heads a militia formed to oppose any new federal gun control measures, has been suspended for 30 days after he posted a series of profanity-laced videos to YouTube in which he angrily fires several automatic weapons and uses the word  "libtards" in reference to liberals.

The Gilberton Borough Council voted 5-1 during an executive session last night to suspend Mark Kessler, saying he did not have permission to use the weapons he fired in the videos, The Patriot-News reported. The council did not suspend him because of the content of his videos. "It was just the misuse of borough property," Gilberton Mayor Mary Lou Hannon said.

The videos Kessler posted to YouTube are filled with angry antigovernment rants that became something of an Internet sensation. In one, he talks about conspiracy theories involving the United Nations and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. In another, Kessler offers basic firearms lessons, using a target of a clown he says represents Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

But the video that generated the most controversy was an "apology" he posted on July 15. In that video, he stands on an old strip mining road and fires several automatic weapons. "All you farging libtards out there, all you farging cry babies grow a pair of balls and man the farg up. All right? You're a bunch of farging Hoydas," Kessler says. "Oh, Chief Kessler said the f-word. I'm gonna say it again. farg you."

Kessler came to the attention of Hatewatch earlier this year when he drafted the "2nd Amendment Preservation Resolution," a proposed ordinance that would require his borough to "enact any and all measures as may be necessary" to protect the Second Amendment. Several months later, Kessler formed the Constitution Protection Force – a militia that garnered widespread support from many in the antigovernment "Patriot" movement.



In the aftermath of his recent videos, however, those who were once his biggest supporters have sought to distance themselves from Kessler's incendiary rhetoric.

Former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack's Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) removed Kessler from its list of law enforcement officers who have vowed to resist the federal government's efforts to enact new gun restrictions. Mack on Thursday told Hatewatch that he has reached out to Kessler to encourage him to tone down his rhetoric. "I don't think the founding fathers would be acting like that," Mack said, adding, "I've been taken aback by all this stuff he's been doing. ... I didn't want him to get fired. But man, oh man."

The Oath Keepers, an antigovernment group composed of military and police personnel, said it has nothing to do with Kessler, even though the chief sometimes wears clothing with the group's logo on it and has been praised by the group in the past. "Chief Kessler is not working with the Oath Keepers, nor is the Oath Keepers working with him," Elias Alias, who sits on the group's board of directors, said in an E-mail to Salon.

Kessler's future remains to be seen. On Thursday, he posted a notice online stating that borough officials plan to fire him during his suspension. He did not return telephone messages left by Hatewatch seeking comment, nor did Mayor Hannon. Earlier this week, however, Hannon told the AP that "the profanity and violence in [Kessler's videos] was upsetting." She said nothing of his future employment, except that Kessler had been a "loyal" public servant.

RNC Will Boycott NBC, CNN for Primary Debates If Networks Air Hillary Films
By  Katrina Trinko
August 5, 2013 11:47 AM

RNC chairman Reince Priebus announced today that if NBC and CNN go forward with their plans to make a miniseries and a documentary respectively about Hillary Clinton, the GOP will not partner with either network for any of the primary debates in 2016.

"It's appalling to know executives at major networks like NBC and CNN who have donated to Democrats and Hillary Clinton have taken it upon themselves to be Hillary Clinton's campaign operatives,"  Priebus said in a statement. "Their actions to promote Secretary Clinton are disturbing and disappointing."

"If they have not agreed to pull this programming prior to the start of the RNC's Summer Meeting on August 14," Priebus added, "I will seek a binding vote stating that the RNC will neither partner with these networks in 2016 primary debates nor sanction primary debates they sponsor."

The good news for Obama is that she could only protest until 2:30 pm, because she didn't want to miss the early bird special.

[Seabiscuit36]

There's a guy in Elkton, MD who is out on Rt 40 every day with signs saying "Impeach Obama", "Reinstate Glass Steagall", "Repeal Obamacare and Dodd-Frank".  I want to throw sharp objects when i see him.

"Reinstate Glass Steagall" doesn't really fit in with those other signs haha

[shorebird]

People who want to impeach Obama are stupid. Think of the alternative. Joe Biden, nuff' said.
