With the recent decision to arm the opposition fighting Syrian President Assad, the United States has effectively declared a proxy war on Syria’s indigenous Christians — a proxy war that was earlier waged on Christians in other Mideast nations, resulting in the abuse, death, and/or mass exodus of Christians. Ironically (if not absurdly) this proxy war on Christians is being presented to the American people as a war to safeguard the “human rights” and “freedoms” of the Syrian people. Left unsaid by the Obama administration is the egregiously inhuman behavior these jihadis visit upon moderate Syrians in general and Christians...

I've got that same funny feeling about Obama's Syria threat that I've had during other events in recent months. Right now we're seeing a highly visible 'public hearing' over the issue of Syria.. Why not another IRS scandal hearing, or Benghazi hearing or another hearing on the DOJ spying on Fox news? Obama and Congress seem to have whipped up a Syria hearing rather quickly, so what's the problem with doing so on these other issues? I smell a RAT! Why does Obama want to start a war with Syria and possibly the entire region? What is the REAL reason...

Josh Earnest, principal deputy White House press secretary, said he was not familiar with the murder of Australian jogger Chris Lane during Wednesday’s White House briefing. When asked by Fox News chief White House correspondent Ed Henry about the Chris Lane case, Earnest responded, “I’m not familiar with it, actually.” Henry explained the case in brief to Earnest looking for reaction to the Oklahoma shooting death of Lane at the hands of “bored” African-American teens who thought it would be “fun” to kill somebody. “This sounds like a pretty tragic case. I wouldn’t want to get ahead of the legal...

The White House continues to bar average Americans from touring “The People House” but nevertheless lavishes spending on all sorts of special invitees – from diners at last week’s Iftar dinner breaking the Muslim fast to sports teams and foreign diplomats. Soon after the outcry over the cancellation of tours due to the sequester, the White House promised to see what could be done to allow some visits to resume. But nothing was done and no one can visit – unless President Obama finds you useful or amusing. Favored guest have poured in this month, even though Obama was traveling...

If you don’t think there’s anything to the whole Obama fraudulent birth certificate thing… Think again. If you don’t think he’s terrified of the truth coming out via the Sheriff Joe Cold Case Posse and Mike Zullo’s investigation… THINK AGAIN!!!!! This Dictator and his band of socialist leg humpers are DESPERATE for a solution and they are trying to rush through legislation to cover his eligibility and other personal issues related to it. Friends and Patriots…That piece of legislation is cleverly hidden in one of todays most watched issues. It’s called… IMMIGRATION REFORM!!! Socialists want to render Obama’s ILLEGAL activities,...

If Speaker John Boehner, Marco Rubio or Leslie Graham think people who have ILLEGALLY crossed into the United States from Mexico will vote Republican, they are DELUSIONAL! We demand that our Congress refuse to consider ANY legislation brought by the Democrats until they STOP STONEWALLING AND BEGIN TO GIVE AMERICA ANSWERS on the IRS, DOJ, and Benghazi scandals! NINE MONTHS have passed since the terrorist attack in Benghazi and we STILL await answers on what happened during and after the attack. How long will this stonewalling continue? We want answers NOW and NO legislation considered until then.

Watergate investigator Bob Woodward of the Washington Post compares Barack Obama to Richard Nixon. Members of Congress say it’s about time to consider it. Rock legend Ted Nugent says Obama’s constitutional violations make him eligible. And even Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin has called for Obama’s impeachment.

WASHINGTON A group of anti-abortion activists in Iowa had to promise the Internal Revenue Service it wouldn’t picket in front of Planned Parenthood. Catherine Engelbrecht’s family and business in Texas were audited by the government after her voting-rights group sought tax-exempt status from the IRS. Retired military veteran Mark Drabik of Nebraska became active in and donated to conservative causes, then found the IRS challenging his church donations. While the developing scandal over the targeting of conservatives by the tax agency has largely focused to date on its scrutiny of groups with words such as “tea party” or “patriot” in...

On May 10, the DOJ announced that it had been spying on AP reporters as well as James Rosen of Fox News. These two entities are synonymous when this topic is discussed, yet the only proof provided so far is that the DOJ was spying on James Rosen. Although the media narrative is that the AP was spied on, there's been no evidence to substantiate this. Other than James Rosen at Fox, not a single AP reporter has been named. We already know the IRS was targeting individuals and groups based on their political beliefs. Conservative groups such as the...

The budget cuts known as sequestration were supposed to wreak havoc, forcing the shrinking of critical workforces including airport security officers and food inspectors. But since sequestration kicked in March 4, the government has posted openings for 4,300 federal job titles to hire some 10,300 people. The median position has a salary topping out at $76,000, and one-fourth of positions pay $113,000 or more, according to an analysis by The Washington Times of federal job listings. Altogether, the jobs will pay up to $792 million per year. Including job postings that have been open since before sequestration, the government is...

President Obama's arrogance and contempt for the rule of law is on full display now. As the 'Chicago crime syndicate' in the White House is further exposed by recent scandals, numerous Obama appointees and other employees prove themselves guilty as sin. And as hearings designed to isolate these guilty players showcase the rampant corruption in this administration, how does he respond? He doubles-down by shamelessly retaining, reappointing or promoting those who we would expect him to eject in shame from our government. Amidst these scandals, he is busy buying the silence of those around him with promotions, awards and other...

Watch commercial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QPU_FPgqiQ Another sick TV ad, this time brought to you by National Geographic. As if mocking American traditions wasn't bad enough, they had no choice but to air this on Memorial Day?

Majorities of American voters say their family will be worse off under the Affordable Care Act, and think it would be better to go back to the pre-ObamaCare health care system. A Fox News poll released Wednesday finds that while 26 percent of voters say their health care situation will be better under the new law, twice as many -- 53 percent -- say it will be worse. Another 13 percent say it won’t make a difference. Almost all Republicans (85 percent) and just over half of independents (51 percent) say they will be worse off under ObamaCare. Nearly half...

Ever since he announced he was stepping down as Tonight Show host Jay Leno has seemingly been harder on Barack Obama. Well on Monday's Tonight Show with Jay Leno that trend continued as Leno featured a clip of schoolchildren peppering the President with the tough questions that the press should be hammering him with on a daily basis. The following bit was aired on the May 20 edition of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: Watch Video Here JAY LENO: Actually President Obama made a surprise visit to a school in Baltimore on Friday. And these kids, you know...

Why hasn't a tornado buster missile or bomb been developed or at least tried? I realize that tornadoes are large and quick moving, but if there's enough time to prepare for one there should be enough time to attempt to stop one. Could a shock wave or some sort of electrical pulse wave from a strategically placed missile/bomb launched from a fighter jet stop a tornado, or perhaps disrupt its balance successfully enough to stop it's devastation on the ground?
