Katie Kieffer: The Two Most Beautiful Women

Beauty for the ages.    Two women are tied for the title of Most Beautiful Woman in America. Veritable goddesses, they show no trace of vanity. Their beauty is a gift to America and they deserve our attention. Unlike Victoria’s Secret Angels, these two women are ageless; their attractiveness becomes more apparent with time. They echo    ...

Poll: Americans Angry With DOJ's Intimidation Of Media

Federal tyranny is the only thing transparent.     The Internal Revenue Service scandal is just one hot-button issue that the Obama administration is facing. The other is the government investigating reporters. And new poll new numbers indicate, many Americans are not happy with the Justice Department snooping on the press, CBS    ... MORE

How Obama Is Embarrassing Democrats & Independents

by Kate Kieffer.   Democrats are blushing. And not because Anthony Weiner is back on Twitter, direct-messaging pretty young girls. Vice President Joe Biden has long held the title of “Liberal Loose Cannon.” But Biden is such a grand hugger and hand-shaker that Democrats still let him work the crowds, crossing their fingers that he won’t say   ...

Mark Baisley: IRS, State And DOJ: The Three Stooges

A peak at our slapstick government.       The recent testimonies before Congress have been reminding me of something for weeks and I just figured out what that is.  I call it 90-degree humor; the kind of joke that starts out in one direction, then takes a sudden left turn, leaving you fallen-over laughing. For instance: “If you were to line up every   ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: An Assault On Freedom Of The Press

Government's response to inconvenient truths.    The firestorm commenced by the revelation of the execution of a search warrant on the personal email server of my Fox News colleague James Rosen continues to rage, and the conflagration engulfing the First Amendment continues to burn; and it is the Department of Justice itself that is fanning  ...

Holder's Judge Shopping For A Fox News Subpoena

by Larry O'Connor, Breitbart News.  The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza, a bulldog on the DOJ/Fox News secret subpoena story, reports that the effort by the Justice Department to obtain the controversial court order was arduous, contentious and unsuccessful until finally a third judge acquiesced. The new documents show that two judges       ... MORE

DOJ Leaked Docs To Smear Fast & Furious Whistleblower

by Matthew Boyle.   The Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General published a new report Monday that confirms former U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke leaked a document intended to smear Operation Fast and Furious scandal whistleblower John Dodson. The DOJ IG said it found “Burke’s conduct in disclosing the Dodson memorandum     ... MORE

John Cassidy: A.P. Scandal Raises Spectre Of Big Brother

A reminder that the government is NOT us.   If the three-strikes rule were in effect, President Obama would be heading for the dugout, bat in hand. First the alleged Benghazi cover-up, then the kerfuffle about the I.R.S. targeting conservative groups, and now the revelation that earlier this year the Justice Department secretly seized two     ...

Eric Holder: If The President Does It, It's Legal

by John W. Whitehead, Rutherford Institute.    “I never thought I would see the day when a Justice Department would claim that only the most extreme infliction of pain and physical abuse constitutes torture and that acts that are merely cruel, inhuman and degrading are consistent with United States law and policy, that the Supreme Court would have  ...

Rand Paul: Rising In Defense Of The Constitution

Insisting on a meaningful Bill of Rights.   On Wednesday, I rose to begin a filibuster on the nomination of John O. Brennan to be director of the CIA. I stood up with the intent of speaking until I was no longer able to speak. I vowed to speak as long as it took, until an alarm was sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that our rights to ... MORE

Gene Healy: The Five Worst Op-Eds of 2012

The New York Times comes on strong.  For three years running, I've closed the Old Year with a seasonal burst of bile, my annual Five Worst Op-Eds column. As before, this year's malicious listicle rewards bad arguments and bad writing, with extra points for warped values. 5. Eric Posner, "The World Doesn't Love the First Amendment,"    ... MORE

Judicial Watch Names Ten Most Corrupt Politicians Of 2012

Obama wins another election.     Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2012 list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” The list includes: Attorney General Eric Holder,  Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL), President Barack Obama, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) ... MORE

Diane Dimond: America's War On Drugs Sputters To An End

A positive appraisal. I'm going to make a bold prediction. America's War on Drugs is now officially over. Oh, no one in Washington is going to make any sort of announcement to confirm this but take it from me -- our four-decades-old drug war strategy is now formally kaput. To be entirely honest, it has been sputtering along for years now accomplishing little and ... MORE

Jeff Lipkes: Taking Down The Second Amendment

Fast & Furious connects to the Trayvon Martin case. Very soon after his inauguration, Barack Obama decided to move ahead with plans to use the horrific number of deaths in the Mexican drug wars as a pretext for new gun control laws. On March 26, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder proposed a ban on "assault weapons" in order to reduce violence ...

Star Parker: Racial Politics Thicker Than Justice

Black Caucus circles the wagons around Holder.   When the House voted last Thursday to find Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt of Congress, members of the Congressional Black Caucus walked out. Why is the Black Caucus trying to make this about race? It’s about Holder’s refusal to turn over Justice Department documents     ...

Eric Holder's Contempt: Who Owns The Government?

by Mike Razar.   Who owns the documents being suppressed in the clumsy Fast and Furious cover-up? Murder-gate would be a descriptive moniker. Could some intrepid reporter ask the hapless Jay Carney if the POTUS believes that the U.S. Government is "of the people, by the people, and for the people"? If he believes that, then surely he   ... MORE

Rory Cooper: Obama's Fast & Furious Scandal Grows

Keeping the facts away from sunshine.  On the night of December 15, 2010, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was shot and killed by an untraceable assault weapon that was deliberately handed to Mexican drug lords by U.S. officials via Operation Fast and Furious. Ever since, the Terry family and Americans across the nation have asked how this could ... MORE

David Limbaugh: An Arrogant And Lawless Cover-Up

What is it that needs executive privilege protection?      Few principles are more important to our constitutional scheme than the separation of powers, which is precisely why President Obama's bogus assertion of executive privilege to thwart Congress' investigation into Fast and Furious is so inexcusable. Executive privilege is an important  ...

VIDEO: FOX NEWS: The Bad Witness


Fast and Furious! A Fox News team discusses the Eric Holder testimony before Congress that made Darrell Issa furious fast. A year after the fact, America's top law enforcement officer continues to claim no knowledge of who signed off on government's gunrunning scheme with Mexican drug cartels.
