Pro-gun activists hijack Bloomberg’s new anti-gun Facebook page
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced this week that he plans to spend $50 million of his vast wealth to create a “gun safety” group that he hopes will “outmuscle” the NRA, according to The New York Times. But the new group, “Everytown for Gun Safety,” was a little too slow on the draw when it came to getting control of the group name on Facebook, with pro-gun activists acquiring the name first.

CLINTON ADMIN FEARED INTERNET'S ABILITY TO DEMOCRATICIZE NEWS 3 YEARS BEFORE DRUDGE BOMBSHELL
Three years before Matt Drudge changed the world and how news would be consumed, President Bill Clinton's White House feared that the Internet was allowing average citizens, especially conservatives, to bypass legacy gatekeepers and access information that had previously been denied to them by the mainstream press. Drudge forever changed journalism in January of 1998 when he reported that Bill Clinton had a sexual relationship with a White House intern and that Newsweek killed the story to protect its ally in the White House.

Facebook Launches Feature to Help Users Find Nearby Friends
Mobile Facebook users will soon be able to find 'Nearby Friends' by using this new feature. The good news is that you must opt-in to use it, so your geolocation data won't be shared by default. If you choose to participate, you might want to be a little more selective on who you 'friend' on Facebook in the first place.

Boko Haram Claims Responsibility for Easter Week Bus Bombing
ICC Note: The attack, taking place the morning following Palm Sunday celebrations, killed more than 70 and wounded more than 100.

Friday, April 18th marked the seventh anniversary of the brutal murders of three Christians at the Zirve Publishing house in Malatya, Turkey. On April 18, 2007, two Turkish men, Necati Aydin and Ugur Yuksel, and one German national, Tillman Geske, were brutally tortured and killed at the Christian publishing house in eastern Turkey.

School Girls Continue to be Held by Radical Islamic Terrorists
ICC Note: More than 80 school girls abducted from a secondary school in Chibok, one of only a few predominately Christian towns in northern Nigeria, continue to be held by their captors, suspected Boko Haram militants. Meaning "western education is a sin," Boko Haram continues to destabilize Nigeria by murdering, pillaging, and abducting innocents, in many cases Christians. Designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the U.S. Department of State, the Islamic insurgency holds ties to Al-Qaeda and other known terrorist networks. ICC continues to call on the international community and Nigeria for peace and free practice of religion throughout Nigeria.

Democrats Confront Vexing Politics Over the Health Care Law
When Franklin D. Roosevelt established Social Security, he created generations of loyal Democrats. When Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare into law, he built on that legacy, particularly with older Americans. And when George W. Bush instituted a new prescription drug benefit for Medicare, it helped reclaim elderly voters for Republicans. But President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, the $1.4 trillion effort to extend health insurance to all Americans, is challenging the traditional calculus about government benefits and political impact.
