IRS Employees Angry Over Severe Double Standard on Taxes
This news makes the fact that Congress confirmed Tim Geithner as head of the Treasury Department even more egregious and hypocritical. Did you know that IRS employees can lose their jobs if they fail to report even a few hundred dollars of income? And yet their boss failed to pay his taxes for multiple years. [...]
Obama Nixed Military Request for Radar So As Not to Offend….North Korea
15. April 2009
Because what’s more important than appeasing a rogue nation about to directly violate international law? Collecting precise data that could be important to the national security of the United States? This is what happens when you idolize Jimmy Carter’s policies. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates denied permission for the U.S. Northern Command to use the Pentagon’s [...]
American Legion Responds to Obama DHS Report
14. April 2009
One of the most egregious aspects of the Obama Department of Homeland Security’s report warning of “rightwing extremism” is the part about military veterans. In case you don’t remember, here’s what the report said: (U) Disgruntled Military Veterans (U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to [...]
DHS Warns of Federalist, Right-Wing Behavior
14. April 2009
A report issued by Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security warns of “rightwing extremism”, spokesmen have confirmed to Michelle Malkin.

William Gortney, commander of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, in a briefing for reporters, said U.S. Navy SEAL snipers perched at the back of the USS Bainbridge — a guided-missile destroyer floating about 30 yards off the 28-foot lifeboat where Phillips was being held — opened fire [...]

Captain Phillips Free; Navy SEALS Kill 3 of Four Pirates
12. April 2009
Excellent outcome. No money exchanged, no ground lost. It looks like Captain Phillips of the Maersk Alabama jumped overboard the lifeboat once again, but this time the US Navy SEALS were waiting. Three of the four pirates are dead and one is in custody. U.S. intelligence official tells the Associated Press Sunday that an American [...]
Of Course: ASU Set to Cave On Obama Honorary Degree
10. April 2009
It was inevitable. The school’s policy is to bestow honorary degrees on politicians only after they’ve left office? So what? It’s not like Barack Obama is a politician; he’s a doctor of HopenChange. He’s a Messiah. Insults against the Messiah can not stand. “There was no intended slight,” Crow said by telephone from his office [...]
