The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee issued a new subpoena today for State Department Secretary John Kerry to testify about the release of documents on the Benghazi terrorist attack, saying that the State Department was engaging in “slippery tactics” particularly in now trying to offer “a more appropriate witness” to testify in place of Kerry.

The committee also said that barring a claim of “executive privilege,” the State Department was legally obligated to comply with the subpoena.   Continue reading “Issa Subpoena’s Kerry Again — Barring ‘Executive Privilege,’ State Dept. Must ‘Comply’”

The controversial High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is scheduled to be dismantled this summer after more than 20 years since its creation in 1993. The Anchorage Daily News reports that the $300 million HAARP could be taken over by the University of Alaska, which jointly funded the program along with the Air Force, the Navy, and the Defense Research Projects Agency (DARPA), but hasn’t yet volunteered to cover the $5 million a year operation costs.   Continue reading “Air Force Dismantling HAARP Due to “Other Ways of Managing the Ionosphere””

If you want to know how to break into a bank, ask a successful bank robber. And so if you want to know how to cast an illegal vote ask a Democrat, for they surely know how its done. Very rarely have Republicans been caught in the act, but Democrats, they know every trick in the book; matter of fact they probably have a road manual on how it is done. As this November election looms the Democrats are looking to salvage some victories. Current polls predict a Republican Senate, this in itself is sending shivers down the backs of the liberal progressive ballot stuffers.    Continue reading “Voter Fraud – The Democrats Know All About It”

I, and I’m certain many of my readers will agree when I say, “Kudos” to Cheryl K. Chumley and her employer, the Washington Times, for covering the story concerning the Utah Congressman, Chris Stewart, who, accordingly, “is mulling a measure to cut funding for any ‘paramilitary units’ that work for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other federal regulatory agencies.”   Continue reading “Utah Congressman Set to Propose Funds Cut for Paramilitary Units at BLM, IRS and Other Fed Regulator”

Police questioned the mother of a 1-year-old girl after the tot was found to be extremely intoxicated at a northwestern Pennsylvania hospital.

Erie police say the baby’s blood-alcohol content was 0.289 percent when she was brought to Saint Vincent Hospital on Wednesday. In Pennsylvania, adult drivers are considered legally drunk at 0.08 percent, meaning the baby’s blood-alcohol level was more than three-and-a-half times as great.   Continue reading “Drunk Baby Girl Nearly 4 Times Above Legal Limit: Police”

SOMA, Turkey, May 16 (Reuters) – Riot police fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse several thousand protesters on Friday in a Turkish mining town still grieving the death of some 300 workers in the nation’s worst ever industrial disaster.

Anger has swept Turkey as the extent of the disaster became clear, with protests aimed at mine owners accused of ignoring safety for profit, and at Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s government, seen as too cozy with industry tycoons and insensitive in its reaction to the tragedy.

There is an old saying that used to apply to the news media, “If it bleeds it leads.”

In other words, the news media loves to sell sensationalism. Remember the cry on the streets back when the local newspaper was king?

“Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” That was what the newspaper man barked as he peddled his papers filled with the latest news “hot off of the presses.”    Continue reading “The New Media Saved the Day at the Bundy Ranch”

International outrage is mounting over the death sentence a Sudanese judge ordered for the pregnant wife of an American citizen — all because she refuses to renounce her Christian faith.

Meriam Ibrahim, 26, was sentenced Thursday after being convicted of apostasy. The court in Khartoum ruled that Ibrahim must give birth and nurse her baby before being executed, but must receive 100 lashes immediately after having her baby for adultery — for having relations with her Christian husband. Ibrahim, a physician and the daughter of a Christian mother and a Muslim father who abandoned the family as a child, could have spared herself death by hanging simply by renouncing her faith.    Continue reading “International outrage grows for Sudanese woman sentenced to death for apostasy”

Milwaukee police who forced their way into a gun rights advocate’s home without a warrant, took her for an emergency mental evaluation and seized her gun were justified under the circumstances and protected from her civil rights claims, a federal appeals court has ruled.

Krysta Sutterfield, who twice made news because of her practice of openly carrying a handgun — at a Brookfield church and outside a Sherman Park coffee shop — drew police attention in 2011 after her psychiatrist reported a suicidal remark Sutterfield made during a difficult appointment.   Continue reading “7th Circuit upholds warrantless entry, seizure of gun rights activist”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Hope Keown was reading the newspaper in her kitchen when she noticed a face she hadn’t seen in years. Staring up from the page was her estranged stepfather’s mug shot, next to a story about how he starved himself to death in a Kentucky prison.

The story triggered tears, confusion and a torrent of memories about James Kenneth Embry, the man she knew as “Kenny” and “Spider Red.” She recalled the good times, such as when a sober Embry helped with homework and folded laundry. But there were also the drugs, alcohol and disappearances that lasted for days or weeks until he finally drifted away for good.    Continue reading “Tears for relatives after fatal hunger strike”
