Kevin Jennings hasn't come clean. There are still many unanswered questions about how he handled a high-school sophomore who he said confessed to a homosexual relationship with an older man. On Friday, Brewster came forward and gave a statement to Media Matters, a group with clear partisan ties to Democrats, in which the former student corrected Mr. Jennings' statement of his age and denied any sexual relationship. That, CNN and the Obama administration claim, is the end of the controversy. Hardly. The new information creates as many questions as it answers. . . .

Five years ago, Kevin Jennings - who now is President Obama's "safe schools czar" - threatened to sue another teacher who called him "unethical" in a Washington Times news article for ignoring a legal requirement to report a student's homosexual relations with an "older man." Mr. Jennings' lawyer wrote a letter stating that there was "no factual basis whatsoever for [the] claim" and that he was not "aware of any sexual victimization of any student, or that he declined to report any sexual victimization at any time." But if you are trying to cover something up, you should not be...

Quick vanity question: Glenn Beck just said the Obama administration is now SCRUBBING as much as they can FROM THE INTERNET to PROTECT their CZARS. Are we in the process of beating them to the punch?

An administration official said special advisers to the president, or czars, are not required to fill out the questionnaire that runs 7 pages and contains 63 questions. The entire questionnaire, the official said, is reserved for appointees who must win Senate confirmation. --- However, Fox News correspondent James Rosen spoke with 911Truth.org spokesman Mike Berger on Friday and Berger said Jones knew what the petition said and agreed with its contents. "He did agree with that statement and he did sign on to it," Berger said in a phone interview with Rosen. Berger said the group's "original board members individually...

Jones says he has become a distraction to the administration's healthcare agenda because of his videotaped insult of Republicans and his signature on a petition suggesting a 9/11 conspiracy.Reporting from Washington - Responding to a firestorm that raged on conservative talk shows and websites, the White House on Sunday announced the resignation of a top environmental advisor who had made fiery remarks about Republicans and signed a petition questioning whether the U.S. government had any role in planning the Sept. 11 attacks. Van Jones, a prominent Oakland community activist, issued a statement decrying "lies and distortions" and a "smear campaign"...

In the aftermath of the Van Jones mess the questions about the White House vetting procedure still remained. Are there a other people working at the White House with credentials that are much worse than Van Jones? If Jones was properly vetted, who overruled the vetting team and sponsored him to become part of the government? If the POTUS and his staff knew about Jones and his off the chart opinions, what does that say about the White House? Beyond his provocative statements, Jones is self described communist. Even though the cold war is long gone, that is still disturbing...

Obama choice of Czars in his Shadow Government has cast doubts about his judgement and raises questions about his plans for America that conflict with the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Here is video of Glenn Beck today reviewing the power of President Obama's 37 Czars that he has hired to advise him directly on a host of subjects. These 37 czars stand outside Obama's 15 Cabinet officials. Unlike the cabinet officials, the czars do not have to be confirmed by the Senate. Beck points out that the danger of Czars is that they not only may be giving advice to Obama, but they can easily dictate policy as well, concentrating a great deal of power in the Executive Branch of Government. Even Democrat Robert Byrd has warned Obama that what...

Jones likens Bush to a 'crackhead' in latest video gaffe By Tony Romm - 09/04/09 02:33 PM ET Another video of White House green jobs czar Van Jones has hit the Web today: This time, Jones labels former President George W. Bush a "crackhead" for his policy to lower the price of foreign oil. Although it is unclear when and where Jones delivered his diatribe, this latest video is the first in which the subject of Jones' remarks somewhat relates to his work with the White House Council on Environmental Quality. The clip picks up with Jones in the middle...

When even a Democrat like Senator Robert Byrd objects to President Obama setting up a collective leadership of Czars in the White House, perhaps it is time for Americans to look more carefully at what appears to be a replica of a Soviet-style Politburo. These appointees do not have to be approved by Congress yet play controlling roles in the lives of Americans.

Our new President has adopted the idea of having Czars to deal with special issues of importance. He has named about three dozen Czars dealing to address significant matters like global warming and executive compensation. Their appointments have become very controversial, as there have been complaints about them circumventing the congressional approval and oversight processes. I say damn these naysayers. I have come to embrace this idea despite the fact of being Jewish and having an aversion to Czars, due to a history of pogroms against my ancestors. And I just feel that we need a few more to round...
