Depends On What Your Definition Of “Lie” Is…*Open Thread* »

Thursday brought two major hearings to Capitol Hill. The first was Attorney General Eric Holder on the whole “Fast and Furious” issue. After many half responses, non-responses, and dissembling left and right, came this little interaction between Eric Holder and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) in the video below:

Following The Money, All Washed And Clean »

That money would be Mexican drug cartel money all sparkly clean thanks to – wait for it – the DEA. Yes, the DEA, under Holder, has laundered millions – MILLIONS – of dollars for the Mexican drug cartels. How in the hell is Holder, and every single one of the administrators who went along with [...]

This And That *Open Thread* »

So we are back from our excursion to Grand Cayman for some snorkeling, good food, and a look at a possible vacation investment. There is a reason why I am mentioning this. I just have to share what one of the owners of the development said while we were chatting. She said she didn’t know [...]

Monday Night Open Thread »

Some mighty interesting stories making the rounds today. As many of us expected, the Supercommittee has failed. But it’s official now. Great. Well done, folks. Way to put party before country. Or, more to the point, way to put a campaign slogan for Obama before the country – it’s all those evil Republicans’ fault.

Holder On The Hot Seat Over “Fast and Furious,” And Guess Who Exposed The ATF Whistleblower *Updated* »

Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the US Senate yesterday to testify – again – about the “Fast and Furious” program. He admitted that he was wrong about when he knew of the program (surprise! Yeah, right.), which to me says he perjured himself, though I am not an attorney. But he continued to try [...]

Crazy Things Being Done By Our Government »

~Bumped up~ That are going to make my head explode. First, news that the ten executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are still operating in the red, and which are largely to blame for the housing crisis, got BONUSES. And I am not talking little bonuses, either. Those ten mo-fos got = and [...]

Secretary Clinton Claims “Fast and Furious” Was News To Her, And Voices Grow Against Holder »

Not long ago, I reported that there were questions as to whether or not the State Department had been in the know about the DOJ’s “Gunwalking” program due to the connections in Mexico. While I was out of town, it seems Secretary Clinton addressed that very question (major H/T to Artemis for sending me this [...]

Another Federal Agent Lost Due To “Fast and Furious”? *Updated* »

Sadly, so it would appear. You may recall a story from back in February of this year regarding two ICE agents attacked in a brutal assault down in Mexico. One agent was injured, the other, Jaime Zapata, was killed. Now it appears that Agent Zapato was killed as a result of a weapon from the [...]

DOJ Unclear On The Concept Of “Justice” »

I know I have been writing a lot about the Department of Justice, but they keep pulling stupid shit, so what choice do I have? Ahem. From the incredibly stupid “Fast and Furious” which has cost a number of lives to the recent revelation of the DOJ pulling its terror manual because it mentions Islam, [...]

“A Terror Attack Is Imminent…” »

So warns the United States Embassy in Kenya, as they warn Americans about the danger in traveling there now. While they will not say for sure who they think will be carrying out the threat, there is this to consider: The warning comes after Kenya sent troops across the border into Somalia to pursue Islamist [...]

Gunwalking? Make that “Grenade Walking.” The Plot Thickens… »

Or rather the insanity that is the United States’ “Gunwalking” program thickens. Turns out a new “wrinkle” to the program has been revealed. It wasn’t just guns that made their way to Mexican drug cartels under the auspices of this bone-headed program, but grenades as well. Intrepid reporter, Sharyl Atttkisson reported for CBS News brings [...]

“Bigger Than Watergate” »

So say Obama officials about the “Fast and Furious” program, according to Sharyl Attkisson (h/t to Helenk for this article). This story is moving fast now, with Holder being issued a subpoena by Congressional investigators finally (again, thanks, Helenk!). But I don’t want to get ahead of myself. What Ms. Attkisson said in a recent [...]

DOJ Finally Starts Enforcing Laws – Too Bad They Are India’s And Not Ours **Updated** »

Oh, how I wish I was making this up. But I am not. Yes, the DOJ cannot be bothered to prosecute what one DOJ long-term attorney, J. Christian Adams, claimed to be the “easiest case” he had ever had. He was referring to the voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia. Those [...]

“Operation Fast And Furious” Gets The Furious Part Right »

This has been an evolving issue, the ATF’s Operation Fast and Furious. In case you are unfamiliar with this program, here are the basics to this program: A U.S. law enforcement operation intended to crack down on major weapons traffickers on the Southwest border spiraled out of control as federal agents were told by superiors [...]

The Most “Transparency” And “Change” Money Can Buy »

Now, I know that many of us – members of the “reality based community” – did not believe for one skinny second that Barack Obama was ever going to be transparent or bring real change to the White House. Frankly, it is ludicrous on its face to refer to someone as “transparent” who refused to [...]
