Anti-pesticide activists falsely blame new pesticides for bee colony problems.

by BETHANY STOTTS

Three brewing scandals have formed a vicious trifecta that threatens to sink the Obama Administration.

"Osama bin Laden is dead. And the remaining leadership of al Qaida is on the run, but the ideology of violent Islamist extremism is rapidly spreading."

If Islam isn't Islam, what is it? What is it about Islam that prompts jihadist violence? Can it be "reformed" without turning it into another California cult?

Planned Parenthood, which rakes in hundreds of millions in the abortion business, actively discourages women from going to crisis pregnancy centers.

If the crony odor and the potential for abuse that this “epic” arrangement poses don’t chill your bones, you ain’t paying attention.

The resistance to Obamacare is writing a new chapter in U.S. history. It may well become the most unpopular law since Prohibition became an Amendment to the Constitution in 1919.

A recent decision by the United Nation’s foreshadows an ominous future for free societies should Muslim entities like the OIC achieve their goal of having “Islamophobia” defined internationally as a form of prejudice.

Hearings in both houses of the U.S. Congress must probe the reliability of the IRS to manage a program that’s one-sixth of the U.S. economy and that will make decisions on something as important as citizens’ health care.

Recently President Obama argued that there was confusion surrounding the events in Benghazi that led to the death of four Americans including the ambassador.

The State Department has been made to believe that the Islamist agenda and the beliefs and values of all Muslims are one, which is a grave mistake.

The June 14th presidential election in Iran may already have a foregone conclusion -- and it's likely an ill wind blowing form Tehran.

It’s too early to speculate about impeachment, but if evidence of White House involvement pops up, it’s not unthinkable. What’s concerning now is reaction at the grass roots. Americans are rapidly losing faith in government.

MAY 21, 2013

The countries that make the top 20 countries, places where women thrive according to these criteria, are (in order)...

Non-comprehensive, none-of-the-below, Washington-dictated energy policies guarantee decline.

The foreign policy of President Barack Obama regarding Syria is in question.

The most obvious lessons of the defeat of gun control and the push for illegal alien amnesty is that politicians don't matter. People do.

30 Americans – including 15 from the bin Laden strike-team unit, Navy SEAL Team 6, and two other SEALs – were killed in the costliest single-day loss for the U.S. military in the Afghanistan.

The ICE data reveals that Secretary Napolitano's claim that the releases involved detainees who committed non-violent crimes is just not accurate, said former NYPD detective Manuel Ortega-Sanchez.

So if I were investigating Benghazi, I’d be homing in on that 10 p.m. phone call. That’s the one between President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — the one that’s gotten close to zero attention.

MAY 20, 2013

Somebody in our high command let two former Navy SEALs die fighting off 80 radical Muslims.

As the conservative website Politically Incorrect reports, state prosecutors in Kassel announced that they would not press charges against the creator of a cartoon showing a crucified Jesus hearing a vulgarity from God.

It seems Ms. Abedin, accurately described by the New York Times as Hillary’s ”longtime aide and confidante,” spent her last months at the State Dept. not really at the State Department.

The United States economy – like that of much of the developed world – remains mired in the worst downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

How is it that, time and again, the most powerful man on the planet doesn’t seem to have a clue what is happening in his own government?

Conservative groups have told the media that the IRS asked for donor lists, Facebook conversations, copies of minutes and notes, and even lists of meeting participants.

With White House scandals dominating each news cycle, President Obama's newly minted media critics may prefer to ignore their own culpability in creating this unfolding debacle.

MAY 18, 2013

There are two reasons why impeachment would never result in the removal of President Obama from office.

On Sept. 12, 2012, President Barack Obama vowed to "bring to justice" the perpetrators of the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya.

by CAPT. GARY HARRINGTON, US NAVY (RET.)

Obama, at a press conference, explained there’s no “there” there in defending his administration regarding the events surrounding four American deaths in Benghazi.

MAY 17, 2013

The film featured evidence that Obama’s real father was Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party USA operative who indoctrinated Obama into a Marxist ideology during his formative years in Hawaii.

It is fair to say that the nation is as divided today as it was in the decades leading up to the Civil War that came about by the decision to secede and thereby destroy the Union.

by STEVE EMERSON, YAAKOV LAPPIN

The decision to launch the air strikes was based on the understanding that a calculated risk now is preferable to facing a deteriorating security situation later.

Is Barack Obama a living menace to us? Or merely "misunderstood"? That is what Americans must decide.

Admittedly, the Benghazi episode vastly eclipses every aspect of Watergate. This is a scandal in which the “cover up” actually began before the main event, and in many ways directly contributed to it.

The shocking video of the arrest of an alleged CIA agent this week on espionage charges certainly won’t rank as one of most heralded moments in the vaunted agency’s long history of derring-do.

Obama is using one of the oldest and most-underhanded political tricks in the book, a tactic some folks would call the “Potomac Two-Step.” Obama probably learned it from former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley…

MAY 16, 2013

Senator Alexander compared HHS Sec. Kathleen Sebelius’ fundraising for non-profits that support the ObamaCare law to the Iran-Contra Scandal. Since then, Sen. Alexander has asked the GAO to investigate her fundraising.

Live, then, if you can, on the tiny dribble of useful information produced by the Palestinians in their as yet non-existent state.

Financial promises made under different conditions and assumptions are null and void, period.

When I was getting ready to work at the State Department way back in the last century, Henry Kissinger gave me good advice: The only reason to write a memo is if you want it leaked.

It is predicated on the belief that we are nearing a point in history where war as we know it has disappeared.

While they pretend to champion privacy rights, top left-wing operatives have routinely ransacked and plundered through the private documents and personal records of conservative groups…

On Benghazi and the IRS, Obama's "dogs of war" are coming back to bite him.

Alec Baldwin: IRS scandal ‘has a whiff of Breitbart'

May 23, 2013  09:41 PM

The IRS targeting scandal has mushroomed into a front-page story, generating outrage from both sides of the political aisle, and Alec Baldwin still thinks it must be some sort of meaningless right-wing political scheme. Unfortunately, Baldwin’s fans seemed to buy his rhetoric hook, line, and sinker. @ABFalecbaldwin You mean that raw sewage miasma that induces […]

Benghazi talking points scrubber promoted at State Department

May 23, 2013  08:55 PM

Combine this with the pending appointment of Susan Rice as National Security Advisor, and you'd almost get the feeling that people involved in this scandal are actually being rewarded for their behavior.

If that really is a bus we hear approaching, it should have been here years ago.

Convenient! IRS' Lois Lerner placed on paid ‘administrative leave'; Ace smells a ‘pivot'

May 23, 2013  05:36 PM

You really can smell the pivot attempt, can't you? It smells suspiciously like fear.
