The IRS Scandal And The Politicization Of Justice
by Hans von Spakovsky and John Fund. If you want a good illustration of how Attorney General Eric Holder has politicized the Justice Department and its prosecutorial decision-making, all you have to do is look at what Justice has not done in just one part of the IRS scandal. Despite its agreement to settle a lawsuit filed by the National ... MOREComputer Crashes At IRS Now Reach Epidemic Proportions
by Patrick Howley. Another likely story from our unaccountable government. IRS Deputy Associate Chief Counsel Thomas Kane said in transcribed congressional testimony that more IRS officials experienced computer crashes, bringing the total number of crash victims to “less than 20,” and also said that the agency does not know if the ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: IRS Scandal Implicates Democrats
Using government power to limit political speech. "Special interests are planning and running millions of dollars" in ads, warns President Barack Obama. But despite their "benign-sounding names," adds Democratic operative David Axelrod, some of them are "front groups for foreign-controlled companies." Together, they are trying to ... MOREEdward Morrissey: Americans Are Giving Up on Obama
Relentless incompetence too glaring to ignore. Over the last several months, the American public has had a hard and clear look at the executive talent inside the White House, and has begun to despair for real leadership and competence. When leadership fails, people stop following. It appears in the sixth year of the Barack Obama ... MOREEd Krayewski: The Anatomy Of An Obama Scandal
In six easy steps. The Obama administration is
riddled with scandals, from guns going missing in Mexico under
Operation Fast & Furious to the revelations about the cover up
of long wait times at Veterans Administration hospitals. In fact,
these scandals have become such a regular occurence that we can now
glean a pattern in how ... MOREThomas Sowell: The High Cost Of Liberalism - Part Three
The wrong incentives. Income inequality has long been one of the liberals' favorite issues. So there is nothing surprising about its being pushed hard this election year. If nothing else, it is a much-needed distraction from the disasters of ObamaCare and the various IRS, Benghazi and other Obama administration scandals. Like so many other ... MOREInside the Corrupt Reality of Government In California
by Steven Greenhut. Incandescent hypocrisy. The only mild complaint against the
critically acclaimed TV series Breaking Bad is
that the premise is a stretch. It’s hard to imagine a
straight-laced high-school chemistry teacher, after being diagnosed
with lung cancer and struggling with money problems, becoming a
kingpin in the crystal-meth underworld. ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: A Rivalry Of Government Hackers
More evidence the government is not us. The government is caught up in another scandal in which federal agents have been accused of hacking into one another's computers. When the CIA was established in 1947, Congress and President Truman were concerned that it might not confine itself to spying. Its sole statutory purpose was to ... MOREYou're Wrong, Mr. Obama, The IRS IS Corrupt!
by Jay Sekulow. In the aftermath of an IRS targeting scandal that may have influenced the 2012 election,
in the midst of criminal and congressional investigations, while civil
litigation is pending in federal court, before a single deposition is
taken and while the IRS clings to tens of thousands of documents, the
president of the United ... MOREWalter E Williams: Schoolteacher Cheating
Another way no child is left behind. Philadelphia's public school system has joined several other big-city school systems, such as those in Atlanta, Detroit and Washington, D.C., in widespread teacher-led cheating on standardized academic achievement tests. So far, the city has fired three school principals, and The Wall Street Journal ... MOREThe Ugly Reality of the Chris Christie Bridge Scandal
by Rachel Alexander. It came to light last week that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s administration plotted with transportation officials to create traffic gridlock in Fort Lee, N.J., after its Democratic Mayor Mark Sokolich refused to back Christie’s reelection bid. Lanes were closed for several days in September on the George Washington ... MOREEd Krayewski: Four Washington Scandals That Still Matter
Despite the distractions. President Obama’s attempt to lead the United States into an intervention in Syria may have provided the White House a distraction from the summer of scandal, but they’re still there, festering. As the president waddles toward lame duck status, the various scandals will increasingly come to shape Obama’s second term. ... MOREBrian Doherty: Rand Paul Rises Above
Scandals likely to prove secondary to policy and ideas. The political world around the Pauls—retired Republican congressman Ron Paul and his son, sitting Kentucky senator Rand Paul—was roiled by mini-scandals last week. Treated as most consequential by national media was, naturally,
the one that touched on the senior Kentucky ... MORE
