FBI Requests For Data On Citizens Up 1000% Since Obama
Welcome to the surveillance state. Not surprising given recent revelations about the NSA, but as Michael Isikoff points out, the massive increase in requests for business records by the FBI under a provision in the Patriot Act, represents a sea change in the government's attitude toward privacy. The FBI has dramatically increased its use of a ... MORERand Paul Wants Answers On Gun-Running In Benghazi
by Emily Miller. Sen. Rand Paul suspects the U.S. was secretly running guns through the consulate in Benghazi to arm Syrian rebels.

MOREWhy Democrats Love To Spy On Americans
by Michael Hastings. Besides Senators Ron Wyden and Mark Udall, most Democrats abandoned their civil liberty positions during the age of Obama. With a new leak investigation looming, the Democrat leadership are now being forced to confront all the secrets they’ve tried to hide. For most bigwig Democrats in Washington, D.C., the last 48 hours has ... MORELydia Warren: Government's $1.9 Billion Citizen Data Mine
Where our rulers store all of our information. The personal data and private online conversations that the National Security Administration is accused of mining could be stashed in a one million square-foot, $1.9 billion facility in the Utah Valley. Concerns over what the government will store at the Utah Data Center have been ... MORE
Sasha Goldstein: Obama's Culture Of Corruption
IRS misconducted was prompted by White House. President Obama's administration, fronted by a "paid liar" of a spokesman, has created an anti-conservative atmosphere that led to IRS scrutiny of right-leaning organizations, top Republicans said Sunday. "The culture of the president calling Tea Party groups terrorists and tea-baggers, ... MOREGAO Now Investigating DHS Ammo Purchases
Why over a billion rounds? The Government Accountability Office tells Whispers it is now investigating large ammunition purchases
made by the Department of Homeland Security. Chuck Young, a spokesman
for GAO, says the investigation of the purchases is "just getting
underway." The congressional investigative agency is jumping into the fray ... MOREThomas Sowell: Shouting Louder
Volume is a poor substitute for substance. An old-time trial lawyer once said, "When your case is weak, shout louder!" Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shouted louder when asked about the Obama administration's story last fall that the September 11th attack on the U.S. ambassador's quarters in Benghazi was due to an anti-Islamic video ... MOREBrian Siegal: America Inching Toward Police State
Citizens under the microscope. Remember, remember the ninth of November. It was a day not unlike any other, but a day that is yet another constantly overlooked reminder of the terrible state of this great nation. It is the day David Petraeus’ resignation was accepted. So, wonderful American citizens, I’d like to take this time to have a ... MORE
Priest Accused Of Molestations Landed TSA Pat Down Gig
Has since earned promotion.

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 ... MOREDavid 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 ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Squealing Versus Killing
Finding the leaker is relatively unimportant. If you are still listening to those in the political class who are falling over each other to condemn leaks from the government to the media, you'd think the leaks had revealed private information in which the public has no legitimate interest, or perhaps a planned secret government mission to ... MOREJohn Ransom: Darrell Issa's Discovery Summer
Shining light in dark places. With the presidential campaign in full gear, expect Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform to expand his public probe of the Obama administration’s green crony program that included risky loans to below-investment-grade companies like now-bankrupt Solyndra. The ... MOREAn Extremist The Leftwing Media Is Happy To Ignore

MOREStephen Dinan: Arizona To Investigate Fed Gun-Running Op
Heavy-handed feds get payback from state.
