The only official at the State Department's bureau of Near Eastern Affairs to lose his job after the Benghazi attacks, shares that he’s been scapegoated by Hillary Clinton’s team.

Non-comprehensive, none-of-the-below, Washington-dictated energy policies guarantee decline.

The foreign policy of President Barack Obama regarding Syria is in question.

The most obvious lessons of the defeat of gun control and the push for illegal alien amnesty is that politicians don't matter. People do.

30 Americans – including 15 from the bin Laden strike-team unit, Navy SEAL Team 6, and two other SEALs – were killed in the costliest single-day loss for the U.S. military in the Afghanistan.

The ICE data reveals that Secretary Napolitano's claim that the releases involved detainees who committed non-violent crimes is just not accurate, said former NYPD detective Manuel Ortega-Sanchez.

So if I were investigating Benghazi, I’d be homing in on that 10 p.m. phone call. That’s the one between President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — the one that’s gotten close to zero attention.
Yes, because the "legacy" of one president is so much more important than the deaths of four people and the growing boldness of those who would attack us at home and abroad.
Bush was raked over the coals because he chose to stay calm in front of a group of young schoolchildren on 9/11 - yet today we hear that Obama's whereabouts when our consulate was being attacked in Benghazi, Libya is "irrelevant." Something smells, and it isn't Michelle's Arugula Surprise.
They SHOULD be. But time and time again, news junkies like us discover that not everyone shares our passion - the average American is likely to know more about Kim Kardashian's swollen ankles during her pregnancy than the scandals miring our executive branch.
Government forcing you to buy a product or service should have sparked a concern! The latest dirt on the IRS simply adds fuel to the fire.

Somebody in our high command let two former Navy SEALs die fighting off 80 radical Muslims.

It seems Ms. Abedin, accurately described by the New York Times as Hillary’s ”longtime aide and confidante,” spent her last months at the State Dept. not really at the State Department.

The United States economy – like that of much of the developed world – remains mired in the worst downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

How is it that, time and again, the most powerful man on the planet doesn’t seem to have a clue what is happening in his own government?

Conservative groups have told the media that the IRS asked for donor lists, Facebook conversations, copies of minutes and notes, and even lists of meeting participants.

With White House scandals dominating each news cycle, President Obama's newly minted media critics may prefer to ignore their own culpability in creating this unfolding debacle.
People like Michael Moore rely on hyperbole and sarcasm to make their point, while people like S.E. Cupp rely on facts. Unfortunately, too many people buy the hyperbole and enjoy the sarcasm. :-(

Do you believe the White House knew about the IRS targeting Conservative groups?

There are two reasons why impeachment would never result in the removal of President Obama from office.

On Sept. 12, 2012, President Barack Obama vowed to "bring to justice" the perpetrators of the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya.

Obama, at a press conference, explained there’s no “there” there in defending his administration regarding the events surrounding four American deaths in Benghazi.
I still think that the only reason the media is finally waking up is because the DOJ began snooping on THEM.
Seeing as Piers didn't seem to know what was going on for the past seven months regarding this scandal, he's hardly one to talk...

Well, this can’t be good. It appears that the official who oversaw the IRS office responsible for targeting conservative groups has moved on from that post and now heads the agency’s Obamacare division.

The film featured evidence that Obama’s real father was Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party USA operative who indoctrinated Obama into a Marxist ideology during his formative years in Hawaii.

It is fair to say that the nation is as divided today as it was in the decades leading up to the Civil War that came about by the decision to secede and thereby destroy the Union.

The decision to launch the air strikes was based on the understanding that a calculated risk now is preferable to facing a deteriorating security situation later.

Is Barack Obama a living menace to us? Or merely "misunderstood"? That is what Americans must decide.

The shocking video of the arrest of an alleged CIA agent this week on espionage charges certainly won’t rank as one of most heralded moments in the vaunted agency’s long history of derring-do.

Obama is using one of the oldest and most-underhanded political tricks in the book, a tactic some folks would call the “Potomac Two-Step.” Obama probably learned it from former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley…
If it doesn't have to do with college basketball brackets or pushing more of his socialist agenda on the American people, Obama doesn't seem to have much to say.
More ineptitude from the government that brought you the Tsarnaev Brothers.
Sergeant Schultz reporting for duty! "I know nothink!"

After days of media leaks and back-and-forth wrangling about administration officials’ deliberations on talking points about the Benghazi attack, the WH released documents showing that both CIA and State Dept.officials pressed for the removal of all references to al-Qaeda and previous terror activity in Libya.
Watching the leftists try to spin this is like watching an amateur juggler try to hold on to all of his balls. Eventually, they will come crashing down around his head...
So, Davie, does that mean you agree with conservatives and libertarians that smaller government is the answer? Somehow I don't think that's what you mean as you try to cover up for your old boss, but nice try.
NO, Mr. Holder - this is where you are confused: The AMERICAN PEOPLE deserve more respect from YOU. Get it straight.

Senator Alexander compared HHS Sec. Kathleen Sebelius’ fundraising for non-profits that support the ObamaCare law to the Iran-Contra Scandal. Since then, Sen. Alexander has asked the GAO to investigate her fundraising.

When I was getting ready to work at the State Department way back in the last century, Henry Kissinger gave me good advice: The only reason to write a memo is if you want it leaked.

While they pretend to champion privacy rights, top left-wing operatives have routinely ransacked and plundered through the private documents and personal records of conservative groups…

"We made some mistakes. We apologize," said Lerner.

After Obama was elected, I faced my first IRS audit shakedown after decades of filing income tax returns. Overdue coincidence? Perhaps.
Sure - we deny them asylum, but gave asylum (and money!) to a family whose sons ended up bombing Boston. Makes lots of sense, I know.
Another scandal? Good gracious, I'm starting to lose track.

President Barack Obama took his pro-amnesty road show down south of the border, and guess what? They liked it there.

Their uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, described both young men as "losers." Russian intelligence described the older brother, Tamerlan, as a suspected Islamist extremist.

The potential traumatic stressors involved in abortion are many. For most, they involve perceiving the pregnancy as a human being and the abortion being experienced as a traumatic death event.

When a liberal Obama enthusiast like Joe Klein starts comparing Obama to Richard Nixon, that spells trouble.
I've heard people saying that it'll be either the IRS scandal or the Benghazi cover-up that will be the undoing of the Obama administration. Personally, I think it's the snooping on members of the press - they're justifiably angry, and even more so, considering how they've carried the administration's water for so many years. Pop some corn, sit back and watch the fun.

Oops: IRS' Miller denies, then admits that IRS' actions motivated by partisanship [video]
May 21, 2013 12:51 PM
Poor Steven Miller … all the pressure of this morning’s Senate Finance Committee hearing on IRS misconduct is making it really tough to keep track of his lies. Earlier, he suddenly recalled that it had been his idea to plant the question prompting Lois Lerner to admit that the IRS targeted conservatives, after initially not […]![]()

Karma, again: Liberals already tying Oklahoma relief efforts to Superstorm Sandy aid vote
May 20, 2013 07:34 PM
Residents of Oklahoma are all too familiar with tornado season, but there’s a new cycle that’s popped up in association with natural disasters; every major storm in a conservative area is now followed by claims of “karma”-driven payback linked to the House’s Sandy relief aid vote soon after the new year. It happened after tornadoes hit Georgia […]![]()
Scandals, schmandals: @WhiteHouse claims Obama is ‘all smiles'
May 20, 2013 06:22 PM
Or ever. When Jay Carney said this afternoon that senior White House staffers kept bad news from the president, maybe he was telling the truth! We kid, of course, but that would certainly explain this offering from the White House Twitter account, sent out during Carney’s disastrous press briefing: All smiles in the Oval Office. […]![]()
