The Justice Department is obstructing the congressional investigation of a U.S. law enforcement operation intended to crack down on major weapons traffickers on the Southwest border, according to the embattled leader of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Ken Melson, the acting director of the ATF, lobbed the accusation when he sneaked in for an interview with congressional investigators on July 4, two days ahead of his scheduled interview with the inspector general about the operation known as "Fast and Furious," Fox News has learned.

Six months into their first term, a band of Republican freshmen are fed up with the tortoise pace of the Senate and have resorted to guerrilla warfare to take on the establishment — and it’s causing headaches for leaders of both parties.

SEEKING ILLEGAL ALIEN VOTES NO MATTER THE COST TO AMERICANS

OBAMA ASKS SUPREME COURT TO PROTECT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT

The Obama Administration recently asked the U.S. Supreme court to halt the scheduled execution of Mexican national of Humberto Leal, Jr., 38. Leal has been imprisoned since 1995 when he was convicted of raping a 16-year-old American girl in a field before caving her head in with a rock.  During that trial, Leal’s lawyers even argued that the teenage caused her own death by falling on a rock after she attacked Leal.

Leal is one of 51 Mexican nationals sitting on death row through the U.S. who had earned protection from former President George W. Bush in 2008 when their cases were ordered to be reviewed after the International Court of Justice at The Hague filed a complaint that the men had not been given proper opportunity to seek advice from the Mexican Consulate. The Supreme Court later overturned Bush’s order only to have Obama once again interfere with the American justice system.

Obama’s reason for interfering: Mexico does not have the death penalty. Well, Mr. President, Leal wasn’t in Mexico where he belonged when he raped and killed an innocent 16-year old AMERICAN girl, now was he?

Probe finds cheating by educators in Atlanta school district

By Douglas Stanglin, USA TODAY


 

Special state investigators have uncovered a decade of organized, systemic cheating in the Atlantic school district by scores of educators, including 38 principals, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Gov. Nathan Deal, who released a two-page summary of the report, says "there will be consequences" for educators who cheated on state-mandated tests in Atlanta public schools.

WHAT IF THERE IS NO LIMIT TO SPENDING?

What if President Obama didn't engage in class warfare?
By David Limbaugh,
What if -- instead of blaming Republicans, big oil, the "wealthy" and corporate jets -- President Obama had used his recent news conference to say the following?

Sponsor

"Look, I've tried my solutions, and they've had ample time to work. If they were going to work, they would have done so by now. So I'm going to ask my party to join with Republicans in focusing on the national debt instead of ginning up envy, jealousy and animosity among people who earn different amounts of money. I'm going to prove that I share the American people's fear about this debt crisis and that I recognize there will have to be structural reform to entitlements. It may involve some cuts in benefits, but if we don't do this now, eventually everyone will lose his benefits, because Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are headed for insolvency -- and much sooner than we thought.
"Endless government spending, I now see, will not stimulate economic growth. I should have accepted that before based on the historical evidence, but my professors kept insisting that Keynesian pump priming would work if we would just spend enough money. But $800 billion wasn't enough? Come on, fellas, whom do we think we're fooling here?

Checking my blog stats, in the last week I had 17 page views from Iraq, knocking Iran out of the top ten for the first time I’ve noticed since I started checking. It’s only fair to tell them that “Bob Hall” is just a pen name. My real name is “Joe Biden.”

OBAMA KNEW - HOLDER KNEW - ATF GUNRUNNING TO MEXICO

Whistleblower Testifies Obama Obstructed Fast and Furious Investigation
By Ben Johnson, The White House Watch

The chief congressional investigators of Operation Fast and Furious released explosive testimony from the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) that they say indicates the Obama administration tried to stonewall Congress, deny witnesses the ability to testify freely, and fire employees who refused to conceal damning information. According to acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson not only did the Justice Department play fast-and-loose with Fast and Furious, but other government agencies may have known – and funded – the straw purchasers the ATF program was designed to catch. The agency’s investigation, which has resulted in at least two deaths, may have been entirely unnecessary. 

NO COLA FOR SENIORS BUT A TAX ON SS BENEFITS IS OBAMA'S DESIRE

Raise the limit on my credit cards... let me raise the taxes on ALL Americans through the roof and then... and only then... will I agree to talk about cuts to my out-of-control spending that will NEVER materialize anyway.

Give me everything I want and do it now or, so help me, I'll cut off payments to our men and women in uniform and Social Security checks to our nation's senior citizens... and I'll blame it all on you.
 

CLIMATE CHANGES

A Modest Proposal

Here’s a proposal: Governments concerned about climate change, carbon emissions, and mankind’s assault on the environment should ban above-ground buildings. In fact, the United Nations should require all new construction to be below ground. Instead of building up, let’s build down! After all, a conventional 30 floor building can require a 100 foot deep excavation for its foundation. Putting the entire building underground requires......

CHRISTIANS 'TAKE HEED'

The Religious Right uniting with Religious Renegades, Part 3

There’s an old saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” meaning that people who believe they are doing good often end up doing evil. It’s the law of unintended consequences. Unfortunately this is what has happened to some--not all--religious conservative organizations. I know of altruistic Christian activists, both conservative and liberal, who believe they are doing God’s work, but in their effort to “right wrongs” they have utterly failed.......

FEDERAL JUDGE SAYS: "CONSTITUTION IS UNFAIR"

Equal treatment under law 'completely unfair', judges rule

One wonders just what is next from the extreme liberals on the federal bench. Will they declare the U.S. Constitution, as a whole, unconstitutional, and substitute their own strange notions in its stead, rather than proceeding as they are now on a clause by clause, and case by case, basis with the founding document of our Republic? Thomas Jefferson once said that liberty is gained by inches. But, were he alive today, he would ruefully note that we are losing ground by the yard in the fight for freedom every day......
