Speaking on Sunday at a campaign event for local Georgia Democratic candidates, former Attorney General Eric Holder flatly rejected former first lady Michelle Obama’s widely cited call for civility and instead seemingly urged Democrats to brawl with Republicans. “It is time for us, as Democrats, to be as tough as they are, to be as dedicated as they are, to be as committed as they are,” Holder told a crowd of campaign volunteers and candidates. “Michelle always says — I love her; she and my wife are like, really tight, which always scares me and Barack — but Michelle always says, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ No. When they go low, we kick ’em.”

A radical gun-control group, Lincoln-based Nebraskans Against Gun Violence (NAGV), is seeking to punish Lincoln’s honest hard-working gun owners for the acts of criminals. The group is proposing restrictive gun control mandates, sometimes called Child Access Prevention (CAP) laws, that would micromanage the lives of Lincoln’s law-abiding gun owners. If adopted, these measures would make it harder for Lincoln residents to protect and defend themselves while doing nothing to stop criminals.
