(WJLA) – Several charges are pending against a man who walked into a classroom on George Mason University’s Arlington campus and pepper sprayed a law professor.

The school says that on Wednesday afternoon during a law and literature class in this fourth floor classroom, intruder entered. He jumped up on the desk, announced that he was making a citizen’s arrest, and then pepper sprayed Professor Tyler Cowen in the face.
Cowen ran into the hall, and the intruder chased him until an off-duty officer who happened to be a student in class caught him at one of the building’s exits and held him until police arrived.
ABC7 was the only station there as police took the suspect into custody.
Ironically, the school says Cowen was teaching a unit on vigilantes — so some students may have initially thought that the situation was fake.

There were more than a few pained expressions worn by gubernatorial candidates during Tuesday night’s forum dedicated to issues affecting Massachusetts’s LGBTQ community, mostly after Scott Lively, an anti-gay candidate running to “advance a biblical world view,” responded to questions.
But state Treasurer Steve Grossman, who is a Democrat from Newton, was actually in physical pain, said campaign spokesman Chandra Allard. Grossman was in the throes of passing a kidney stone, something often compared to the pain of childbirth, during the 90-minute debate, she said.
The forum was held by MassEquality and WGBH at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square and included eight gubernatorial candidates — the five Democrats and three independents, all of whom showed their support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community except for Lively.
Grossman’s pain-level was a 10 on a scale of 1-to-10, Allard said, and yet he fervently answered questions on everything from transgender rights and mandatory sex education to issues facing youth and aging members of the LGBTQ community.
Grossman has suffered chronic kidney stones, getting them on and off for the last 30 years, said Allard. He woke up in pain at 3:45 a.m. Tuesday morning, but she said he insisted on continuing with the day, which included attending GetKonnected’s Diversity Game Changer Awards ceremony after the forum ended.
Word of Grossman’s stone — which has inspired a parody Twitter account — spread via the micro-blogging website, as did the news that he finally passed the stone, sometime during the awards ceremony.
“I’m grateful that I made it out, but I know some of my fellow stones remain confined. We must #FreeTheStones! #mapoli,”@grossmansstone tweeted Wednesday morning.

Feel justified.
Those of us on our side of the political fence, the conservatives opposing the democrats, liberals and RINOs, are having a sense of justice when they read the article below. This politician was a Brandy poster-boy for gun control, registration and the restriction of private firearm ownership.
He’s been busted for gun-running. Not selling just illegal firearms. No, he was selling, among other things, missiles and shoulder-fired rockets. In the indictment, documenting a meeting between Lee and an undercover FBI agent, the indicate contained, “Pg. 98-99: The undercover agent asked about the availability of shoulder fired missiles or rockets. Senator Yee responded ‘I told him about rocket launchers and things like that.’ Senator Yee asked (the agent) to provide an inventory list of desired weapons and he would see what they can do.”

Angry.
This section is about the continuing falseness of liberals—at all levels of political activity. On the local level, I filed for ‘Pub Precinct Committeeman and was unopposed. However, other ‘Pubs are being opposed—by dems and libs running for those same ‘Pub Committee positions. I wrote an article recently about Infiltration. This is another example.
But Infiltration is not the only, nor the leading tactic of dems and libs. No, they advocate the use of the oldest deception of all: Lies.
Well, now we know why the Washington Post did not want to invest in Ezra Klein’s “explanatory journalism” nonsense. Turns out it is just a left-wing propaganda tool trying to spin instead of explain.
Let us turn our attention to Matthew Yglesias, the Executive Editor of Ezra Klein’s new site. As my friend Pejman Yousefzadeh has well documented, Yglesias is just not that bright. He thinks Joe Lieberman is a dumb Jewish politician; was shocked to discover Senators represent the states as opposed to populations; was unaware of a black conservative tradition; couldn’t understand why Miami didn’t expand westward (hint: a giant swamp); had no idea an incumbent President had been defeated in primaries (Jimmy Carter lost 13 primaries in 1980 to Ted Kennedy and Jerry Brown); thought Bobby Jindal’s reputation for intelligence was just ethnic stereotyping; argued it was okay to lie about having kids; wanted to know why Egypt didn’t have a Parliamentary system as if it’d matter and, by the way, it already does have one; thinks there are too many banks; thinks no banks have been chartered in 2013 even though banks were chartered in 2013; and the list goes on.
More importantly, Matthew Yglesias believes it is okay for liberals to lie in debates. He claimed “Fighting dishonesty with dishonesty is sometimes the right thing for advocates to do”. After all, according to Yglesias, Republicans are bad people; there are few if any conservatives he respects; and liberals aren’t condescending enough to conservatives who make stupid arguments no matter how smart they are.
So it’s okay to lie.
Which brings us to his video at the JuiceVox Media website. He tries to explain the National Debt and out of the gate beings with a lie. He claims the national debt is $5 trillion less than the U.S. Treasury says it is.
Then he uses deficit and debt interchangeably.
Then he claims the U.S. Government can never run out of money.
He goes through all of this to conclude that the national debt, which he understated, is just not anything to worry about.
This isn’t education. It is not explaining. It is left-wing propaganda. It is also sponsored by General Electric. Why is General Electric sponsoring left-wing propaganda?
Perhaps they don’t know. After all, Yglesias himself says it is okay for the left to lie in order to win an argument.
Never forget whom we oppose—and why we do so. It’s truth versus deceit, as much as it is Liberty versus Tyranny. You must know for whom and for what you stand for, and for what you do not. It’s an easy choice for me. How will you choose?
