Holder And FBI Admit Lying To Promote Obama Reelection
Thomas Lifson on seemingly fixed nature of politicians. In their efforts to promote the re-election of Barack Obama, our nation's premier law enforcement agencies presented false data to the American public about a "crackdown" on mortgage fraud. Fox News reports: The Justice Department and FBI have quietly acknowledged they ... MOREKen Allard: Generous Second Coat Of Benghazi Whitewash
More White House tactical air support from CNN. CNN spent an hour of prime time Tuesday night to air a special anchored by Erin Burnett,
“The Truth about Benghazi.” They claimed to have learned two vital
lessons from their supposedly extensive investigation of that tragedy:
It must never happen again, and politics trumped ... MOREThe Framers' Remedy For Presidential Lawlessness
Betsy McCaughey on defunding ObamaCare. Two weeks ago, the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee voted to strip the scandal ridden Internal Revenue Service of nearly one quarter of its 2014 budget as punishment for its targeting of political groups and its costly boondoggles. Shockingly, Senate Democrats voted to ... MOREBrent Bozell: Insulating Obama From His Corrupt IRS
It helps when the media ignores the issue. President Obama is announcing for the umpteenth time he's going to "pivot" to fixing the economy — as if that's ever worked before, since it is he who broke it. That said, Obama will pivot to tiddlywinks if that's what it takes to get out from under his mountain of scandals. On the White House ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Agency Girls Gone Wild
Too dirty to clean up their acts? Agency girls are going wild. Obama’s leading ladies make students partying on the beach look like amateurs. Misbehavin’ is a resume booster in Washington, D.C. But not the kind of misbehaving that you might think. There are no wet t-shirt contests. It’s a buttoned-up misbehavin’—personified by ... MOREDexter Wright: Impeach Eric Holder
Why isn't this a no-brainer? As the Washington media continues to trip over the stumbling blocks of administration scandals and echoes of Watergate bounce off the buildings across the Potomac River, the question comes to mind: Will there be impeachment hearings this summer as there were in the Summer of '73? There may indeed ... MORESales of '1984' Spike Amid NSA Spying Scandal
by Michael Winter. The revelations about government surveillance have introduced a new generation of readers to Nineteen Eighty-Four, as sales of George Orwell's dystopian classic soar. Sales of the "centennial edition" on Amazon.com had skyrocketed more than 5,800% as of Tuesday night. The novel that introduced the world to the all-seeing, ...

D.C. apartment building doubles as giant middle finger pointed at the White House
Donald Lambro: The Real Scandal Is Economic
Another scandal is Obama is clueless about. In the sixth month of his second term, President Obama is still putting his national security team together and trying to figure out what he wants to do during the remainder of his presidency. So far, Mr. Obama, who spends much, if not most, of his time delivering speeches and not much else, ... MOREMatt Welch: Baseball's Steroid Collusion With The Feds
Partners in the public-shaming biz. Tucked away inside ESPN's
blockbuster report last night that Major League Baseball is
preparing to hand out an unprecedented 20 or so steroid
suspensions—including to Hall of Fame talent Alex Rodriguez and
former Most Valuable Player Ryan Braun—as part of an agreement
reached with a performance-enhancing ... MOREGene Healy: Obama's Flight From Responsibility
"Hey, don't look at me -- I'm just the president!" That's the common thread in President Obama's response to his recent scandal eruptions, from IRS harassment of Tea Partiers to his Justice Department's spying on AP reporters. Like everybody else, Obama learns about these things via cable news, according to press secretary Jay Carney. ... MOREPoll: 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 ... MOREMark 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 ... MOREBarry Farber: Lois Lerner Is The New Chutzpa Champ
Move over Sweet Daddy Grace. Chutzpa is busting out all over. “Chutzpa” is the Yiddish word for a quality possessed by gutsy characters who bristle with unspeakable effrontery, the kind of person who could walk through a revolving door behind you and come out ahead of you. It takes chutzpa, for example, to shoot both parents and then ... MORE
Ariel Shearer: IRS Targets Medical Marijuana In War On Pot
The tea party has company. For the past several years, the Internal Revenue Service has been systematically targeting medical marijuana establishments, relying on an obscure statute that gives the taxing agency unintended power. The IRS has been functioning as an arm of justice, employing the U.S. tax code as a weapon in the federal ... MOREThe IRS Fiasco Is Only The Tip Of The Iceberg.
by Henry I. Miller. You certainly hear some amazing things in congressional testimony. Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS unit that determines whether organizations receive tax-exempt status, claimed last week that she had neither done anything wrong nor lied about her involvement in the discrimination against conservative and ... MOREIRS Scandal Shows Importance Of Privacy Protections
by Phil Kerpen. IRS apologists are furiously trying to change the subject from the outrageous targeting of political opponents by the IRS to a policy debate over forced disclosure of contributions to groups that engage in political speech. The story is that a deluge of applications forced the IRS to cut corners and the targeting scandal was an ... MOREUncle Sam Wants You ... Under His Thumb
by Jim Yardley. It's really difficult to keep track of the many ways that the Obama administration is chipping away at the freedoms and independence that were the foundations of our nation, bequeathed to us as a birthright. Let's just summarize the more egregious behavior of our Beloved Leader and his Apostles. Fast and Furious: The ... MORE
Bill O'Reilly: Assessing Blame
Why Kerry looks at us in a daze. So there I am coaching third base for my 9-year-old son's little league team. Man on second, one out. The batter hits a ground ball to third, and the fielder promptly boots it, so I send the runner in to home plate. He's ahead of the ball -- and then, suddenly, the KID STOPS RUNNING! He's tagged out. We lose by ... MOREDr. Milton R. Wolf: Tyranny In Our Time
American must repudiate the political class. Americans are beginning to recognize the disturbing similarities between President Obama and the fallen Richard Nixon, but the comparison that may matter more is between Mr. Obama and King George III. “He
has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of
Officers to ... MORE
