A recent article by David Samuels at the New York Times Magazine, based on an interview with Obama's foreign policy guru Ben Rhodes, purported to explain how, and about what, the Obama administration lied to get public support for the Iran Scam. According to the article, the principal Obama lie involved who was the Iranian president when the negotiations with Iran began. It's much deeper and worse than that. As Paul Harvey would say, “Here’s “the rest of the story.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uogp40PeddI Iranian President Rouhani was elected on June 15, 2013 and assumed office on August 3d. According to Rhodes, negotiations started...

How in the world did Hillary, allegedly the smartest woman in the world, get caught with a treasure trove of state dept emails including classified state secrets on pervert Weiner's laptop? And this was supposedly after all such equipment and material was turned over to the state department and all such emails turned over per subpoena and sworn testimony? Why did the Secretary illegally have an unsecure home server to communicate state department messages? Why did the smartest woman in the world have a potential Islamic spy as her most trusted adviser and handler of state secrets? How did Hillary...

As you know by now, earlier this week the Obama administration struck a nuclear deal with Iran, claiming "the most intrusive inspections ever" were part of the negotiation process. First, lets take a step back to April when White House Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said the White House was demanding anytime, anywhere, 24/7 inspections. "We will have anytime, anywhere access to the nuclear facilities." As Guy has pointed out, Obama's Energy Secretary also said anytime, anywhere inspections were expected with a deal. But fast forward to this week and Rhodes is claiming anytime, anywhere inspections weren't ever on the table...

Secretary of State John Kerry was making a rhetorical comment when he said on Monday that Syria's President Bashar al-Assad would not hand over his country's chemical weapons. "Secretary Kerry was making a rhetorical argument about the impossibility and unlikelihood of Assad turning over chemical weapons he has denied he used," a U.S. State Department spokeswoman said in an emailed statement. "His (Kerry's) point was that this brutal dictator with a history of playing fast and loose with the facts cannot be trusted to turn over chemical weapons, otherwise he would have done so long ago. That's why the world...

I have been listening to Rubio’s arguments very closely the past few months, closer than most are. I learned that Hispanics are social conservatives who oppose both abortion and gay marriage (although the GOP dropped talk about that second subject anyway, too scared of offending young adults), and that this includes the ‘undocumented’ Hispanics. OK, so if Hispanics are so against Abortion then why do they all seem to flock to Dems and especially Obama? I learned that is because our anti-immigration (aka anti-amnesty, aka anti-illegal) rhetoric is offending them. So as soon as we support amnesty they will mostly...

You’ll be glad to know that, like with the Obama presidency before it, we have now moved from the “everything will miraculously change” portion of the Obama health-care pitch to the “I never said everything would miraculously change” portion. This comes from his speech selling health-care reform in Iowa today: Now, it will take about four years to implement this entire plan – because we need to do it responsibly and we need to get it right. That means that health care costs won’t go down overnight. But we have built into the law all sorts of measures to assure...

Obama Offers Rhetorical Support to Iran Protesters -- Is It Enough? FOXNews.com President Obama offered rhetorical support Monday to anti-government protesters in Iran facing a bloody crackdown, but some analysts say the United States should do more than just "bear witness" to the unrest. President Obama offered rhetorical support Monday to anti-government protesters in Iran facing a bloody crackdown, but some analysts say the United States should do more than just "bear witness" to the unrest. Obama, in his first public remarks since arriving in Hawaii on vacation with his family, said the United States joins the rest of the...

NEW YORK - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, elated by a strong collection of Super Tuesday wins, looked past Democratic rival Barack Obama to take aim at President Bush and his Republican allies. "You know tonight we are hearing the voices of people across America, people of all ages, of all colors, all faiths and all walks of life," she told supporters in a crowded Manhattan ballroom. The New York senator is seeking to become the first woman president, while Obama would become the first black president. Appearing onstage with her husband and daughter Chelsea, Clinton did not direct any criticism...

<p>The most striking thing about the uproar over Illinois Senator Dick Durbin’s comparison of American servicemen to ‘‘Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or ... Pol Pot’’ is that his grotesque comparison even caused an uproar in the first place.</p> <p>Of course his analogy was obscene. Of course he knew perfectly well that there is no equivalence between the treatment of several hundred Muslim detainees in Guantanamo — some of which may have been appalling, but none of which has been fatal — and the Nazis’ genocidal slaughter of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust or Stalin’s imprisonment of 25 million prisoners in Siberian slave camps or the mass murder by Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge of nearly 2 million of their fellow Cambodians.</p>

Are the Police and Courts doing a good job, are we still protected by the Constitution or do Judges and the Police make their own law.
