President Obama’s announcement that he has accepted VA Secretary Eric Shinseki’s resignation did not come as a shock to many of us, and neither did the shameless and revisionist nature of his statement. Obama called the Shinseki controversy a “distraction” (this is what he really means by that), praised Shinseki’s job performance at the VA […]

Parents warned: Big Brother owns your children
May 23, 2014 by
The Bible declares itâs the parentsâ duty to direct their childrenâs upbringing. The U.S. Constitution reserves the power of public education to the states and local governments.

Obama Admin Declares Al-Qaeda No Longer A Direct Threat To America, U.S. Intelligence Officials Revolt
May 22, 2014 by
Are you kidding me. When we learn the lessons of 9/11 from a so called moderate Muslim. Did you know that Anwar Awlaki was thought to be a moderate Muslim? How can you really tell the difference because of âTaqiyyaâ. He was the most dangerous ideologue in the World. We have yet to learn from […]

Rand Paul: Do We Continue to Arm the Enemies of Israel and the U.S. in Syria?
May 21, 2014 by
In September, the Obama Administration and many Republicans were pushing for the U.S. to intervene in Syria. I said no. We did not have an articulable national security interest in that country, and it was also unclear if we had any discernible allies in that nationâs civil war. Five months prior, my colleagues in the […]

May 18, 2014 by
On May 15, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on June 3 on amending the U.S. Constitution to limit political speech.

Soros-funded Liberals Abandon Ukraine to Putin
May 17, 2014 by
George Soros has been blamed by the pro-Russia crowd for sparking the anti-communist revolution in Ukraine.

May 17, 2014 by
The Obama administration, battling to tamp down yet another scandal, announced the resignation Friday afternoon of a top Veterans Affairs official amid mounting questions over patient deaths possibly tied to delayed care.

Will Hillary Clinton Ever Say ‘Islamic Teorrorists’?
May 14, 2014 by
What gave rise to Al Qaeda or modern terrorism in general? One could speculate or point fingers at people, certain situations, events or alliances, but at the end of the day, terrorists are almost exclusively individuals who have perverted a religion. Whether itâs the IRA, the Westboro Baptists, or Al Qaeda, the founders/leaders of these […]
Judicial Watch New Documents: IRS Targeting Came Directly From Washington D.C.
May 14, 2014 by
New documents obtained and released through a Judicial Watch lawsuit show the targeting of tea party and conservative groups came directly out of Washington D.C., not a rogue IRS office in Cincinnati.

Sagebrush Rebellion – The Threat to private property
May 12, 2014 by
For many or maybe even most Americans, reports that a rancher in Clark County, Nevada, was at odds with federal land bureaucrats, that scores of federal lawyers were litigating against him, and that SWAT-garbed and heavily armed federal law-enforcement officers had surrounded his place might have come as a surprise. WILLIAM PERRY PENDLEY is president […]

Big money funders of the Progressive agenda are accidently identified
May 11, 2014 by
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Democratic Party’s secret political puppeteers were unintentionally revealed this month after an attendee at the uber-liberal Democracy Alliance conference in Chicago left a list of contributing members behind.

Boko Haram and the Failure of Obama’s Counter-Terrorism Strategy
May 10, 2014 by
During Hillary Clinton’s tenure, the State Department failed to designate Boko Haram a terrorist organization, in spite of the fact that Boko Haram had become second only to the Taliban as the deadliest terrorist organization. Clinton will rightly have to bear blame for that, but the lack of a designation also reflects the much deeper […]
Why Do They Lie to Us?

Hillary Clinton, Boko Haram and Benghazi: The Real Scandal
May 10, 2014 by
Hillary Clinton’s leadership as Secretary of State regarding the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram could become at least as serious an issue as her decisions surrounding the attack on the U.S. consulate Benghazi.

Revolt against Common Core in full swing
May 10, 2014 by
The more parents and teachers learn about the one-size-fits-all education standards called Common Core and the data it gathers on children to serve the needs of corporations and the state, the more their anger builds. That anger has turned to action with a movement calling for this one defiant act. So far, it’s working. The […]

Top 10 Obama Human Rights Failures
May 8, 2014 by
Hollywood superstar and power broker Steven Spielberg has recognized President Barack Obama with the USC Shoah [Holocaust] Foundation’s highest award, the “Ambassador for Humanity.” It is an odd award to present to a president who has been called “dangerously silent on human rights.” Unlike the Nobel Peace Prize, which Obama won in 2009 in anticipation […]

Voter Fraud: An Existential Threat to America
May 8, 2014 by
It is difficult to describe the enormity of the crime being committed by the Obama administration and their Democratic allies.

White House aide linked to al-Qaida funder
May 8, 2014 by
There is a troubling common thread that links Hillary Clinton’s former chief of staff to the current special assistant to the National Security Council chief of staff of the military’s Islamic chaplain program. The thread is more radical than the Muslim Brotherhood. It is the Muslim World League, a group accused of financing al-Qaida fronts. […]
Senator Rubio Calls Charlie Crist A Phony, Embarrassment
May 8, 2014 by
