Two disturbing developments have occurred in the last couple of days that have gone relatively unnoticed compared to the recent IRS, AP, and Benghazi scandals. First, the senate is debating an expansion of the already broad powers of the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) so the U.S. can essentially engage any area in the world in the war on terror, including America. Which brings … [Read more...]
Benghazi is not a singular event. It’s not just about the death of the ambassador and three others. It’s not just about why help was not sent or even where Obama was all that time. Although these are important, the real scandal is what was going on in Benghazi and why was ambassador Stevens there in the first place and with very little security? I and others agree that Stevens was … [Read more...]
Here are the 7 Most Explosive & Informative Moments from Today’s IRS Hearing The U.S. House of Representatives, for the second time since the Internal Revenue Service scandal first broke, held a hearing on the agency’s targeting of conservative groups. But unlike yesterday’s Senate hearing on the same topic, Wednesday’s House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing was … [Read more...]
The usually-cocksure Jay Carney has rarely appeared so uncomfortable. “What I can tell you is that this president believes strongly in the First Amendment and is a strong defender of the First Amendment,” Carney insisted to a packed house of angry reporters last Tuesday afternoon. The White House had just been freshly stung by news that the Department of Justice had secretly raided the … [Read more...]
White House spokesman Jay Carney postponed the daily briefing amid bombshell revelations about the administration’s role in modifying CIA talking points on the Benghazi attack, and instead held a “deep background” briefing behind closed doors for selected reporters, according to Politico. Journalists at the meeting were permitted to use information presented by briefers, but not quote … [Read more...]
It turns out that Lois Lerner, head of the IRS tax exempt department, was involved in a "limited hang out" as they used to say during the unraveling of the Watergate scandal. Her disingenuous statement on Friday - seemingly out of the blue - has now become "inoperative" (another Watergate euphemism for lie). In fact, Lerner's statement didn't even begin to reveal IRS wrongdoing - wrongdoing … [Read more...]
Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) talks with reporters after voting against cloture on the confirmation of former Sen. Chuck Hagel to be the next secretary of state at the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 14, 2013 in Washington.

It has been repeatedly reported on some of our websites that President Barack Hussein Obama is guilty of multiple accounts of treason against the people and Constitution of the United States. He has not been charged with any of his many crimes because he controls the US Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice (Holder is just as guilty of treason as is Obama). The … [Read more...]
When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the documents were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story. ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as … [Read more...]
"Greg! We're under attack!" Wednesday on Capitol Hill, three impeccable witnesses offered the clearest evidence to date that the Obama administration’s response to Benghazi before, during and after the terrorist attack that claimed the lives of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, State Department employee Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen A. Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods, was a deadly … [Read more...]
Like the events surrounding Benghazi, Vallely said he believes the crash of the helicopter, which was carrying many men who only 93 days before had aided in the killing of Osama Bin Laden, has “a constant plethora of lies and deceit.” Military experts and the families of the soldiers killed in the August 6, 2011, helicopter crash in Afghanistan — the single largest loss of soldiers’ … [Read more...]
JERUSALEM – As the House Oversight Committee hears from witnesses presenting a chronological timeline that starkly contrasts with initial statements by the Obama administration on the Benghazi attacks, it is instructive to recall how the administration spent $70,000 in taxpayer funds on an ad denouncing an anti-Muhammad film. The ad aired on Pakistani television amid White House claims that … [Read more...]

The State Department seemingly made Hicks unavailable to the media, as the State Department switchboard had no information on Hicks’ whereabouts or contact information when Breitbart News asked for it in December and January. "I was instructed not to allow the RSO, the acting Deputy Chief of Mission, and myself to be interviewed by Congressman Chaffetz," Hicks told Rep. Jim Jordan … [Read more...]

Gregory Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission in Libya, told a House Oversight Committee the blunt reaction he received from U.S. military personnel after the order to stand down on a rescue mission for those in Benghazi. “They were not authorized to travel,” Hicks said in response to questions from Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) Wednesday. “They remained in Tripoli with us. The medic … [Read more...]
A former top U.S. diplomat in Libya described publicly for the first time the deadly events that took place in Benghazi last September, culminating in the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.

"We reject any and all attempts to sensationalize or misrepresent situations, in this or any other context. Having said that, we are concerned," the statement says. "While rejecting any conspiracy theory linking the reports above, we believe there are in some of these cases elements that are indicative of a troubling lack of respect for true religious diversity in our military. Furthermore, … [Read more...]
The Ansar al Sharia Brigade, the Islamist terror group linked to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, continues to operate freely in that Libyan city, according to U.S. military officials. The group remains active in the Mediterranean port city, operating patrols and checkpoints, and earlier this year reached an agreement with other Islamist groups allowing it … [Read more...]
Cruz would not be as boring, incompetent, ineffectual, or a constant liar and embarrassment that the current president is In 2008, a young, first-term Senator ran for President. His mother was an American citizen and his father was from Kenya. That did not deter him as he was designated a natural-born citizen and thus eligible to hold the office. He won and we have endured four years … [Read more...]
According to the source, when the attack on the Consulate occurred, a specific chain of command to gain verbal permission to move special-forces in must have occurred. SOCAFRICA commander Lieutenant Col. Gibson would have contacted a desk officer at the time, asking for that permission. That desk officer would have called Marine Corps Col. George Bristol, then in command of Joint Special … [Read more...]
The Democratic Party continues to espouse its new Mexican-sovereignty narrative that is meant to wedge a divide among Americans, and pander for Hispanic votes. With the immigration reform debate sucking the air out of Washington, D.C., President Obama’s recent remarks to Mexican students in Mexico City, Mexico, about how the current U.S. immigration system didn’t “reflect our values” … [Read more...]
The so-called "Marketplace Fairness Act" passed the Senate today on a 69-27 vote, meaning that businesses with more than $1 million in sales will be subjected to tax collection laws no matter where they're located in the United States. The bill would give state governments the blessing to collect tax on retailers across state lines. Andrew Moylan of the R Street Institute ran down some of the … [Read more...]
Firearms murder rate statistics are higher in states with more Gun Control regulations. As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the firearms murder rate statistics will probably receive the same reaction as the NRA Youth Day that happened over the weekend. Some in the media were horrified that kids as young as the Newtown victims were allowed to enjoy shooting a gun. The firearms murder … [Read more...]
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, and for two full weeks at the height of a presidential campaign, we were not only told by the Obama Administration that a YouTube video had instigated everyday protesters to spontaneously launch the attack, but that there was no evidence pointing to anything about a terror attack. The media knew the White House was lying, but still they vigorously … [Read more...]
