That’s a bad-sounding headline, right there, and people interested in election integrity can be forgiven for shaking their heads in disgust at a Supreme Court that, it appears, doesn’t care if thousands of people who are not eligible to vote in US elections just waltz in and cast ballots alongside US citizens. Considering the ramifications [...]
We are all witnessing a number of interesting reactions to the latest scandals revealed regarding this administration, the NSA’s collection of all American Verizon customer’s phone call information and,now, the collection of e-mail and other documents from a host of Internet companies. One of the most telling is the attempt to excuse this intrusion by [...]
It’s been 1 scandal after another for the Obama administration over the past 6-8 months and there remain several serious, unanswered questions about literally every one of them. The bombshell-du-jour centers around the collection by the National Security Agency (NSA) of phone call metadata of all of Verizon Wireless’ customers, suspected of any illegal activity [...]
So when letters that tested positive for ricin were sent to the President and to various members of Congress who have been outspoken in their advocacy of gun-control measures, the theories as to the identity of the sender ran from being a member of the Tea Party to a typically disgruntled member of the NRA.

The IRS reportedly also held up conservative pro-life groups in their little unbalanced application of US tax laws over the past three years and what they were demanding in order to allow people the same treatment as the Administration’s friends was no less than their freedom of speech: IRS officials refused to grant tax exempt [...]
In case you’ve missed it, the IRS has admitted that its agents have deliberately targeted for increased scrutiny, outright harassment, and unjustified delay conservative groups with real or imagined connections to the Tea Party and the like. In short, they have explicitly come out as being precisely the dangerous, civil-rights-trampling, overreaching governmental power abuser that [...]
With the capture of the second bomber we are now in a position to be far more deliberate and thorough in moving the investigation forward. We know a lot more now than we did just 3 days ago but there’s more we need. There’s also some stuff we don’t need. This may sound premature but [...]
A letter that was sent to Senator Wicker (R-MS) tested positive for ricin, an extremely powerful poison.
