With all the illegal minors Jeh Johnson has let run wild in our country - and then LOST ... one would think he'd be concerned about being painted with the Anthony Weiner brush.

Hey Jeh, where are all those young children who the DHS 'lost'? Why didn't YOU Jeh just put the children on an airplane and send them home to their parents? Are some in Chicago whore houses Jeh?

The purpose of congress used to be, first and foremost, the legislative power, and second, oversight of those charged with carrying out the law.

It is why I’ll sit out the congressional portion of the election.
