Before we dig in, let’s be honest, shall we?Every human being in the history of mankind has lied — and every human being for the remainder of mankind will lie, as well. Thing is, it’s the degree of lying — and what they lie about — that sets some people apart from others. That said, this feels like a good time to visit the difference between compulsive liars and pathological liars. No one in particular, of course, just generally speaking.So I decided to stop by MedicineNet and see what they had to say about the whole thing.Compulsive liar: A liar...

To hear Hillary Clinton tell it, she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary, the conqueror of Mount Everest — even though she was already 6 years old when he made his famous ascent. On a visit to war-torn Bosnia in 1996, she claimed she and her entourage landed under sniper fire and had to run “with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base” — although videos of her arrival show her waltzing serenely across the tarmac, waving to the crowd. She blamed the 2012 attack on American diplomatic and intelligence-gathering installations in Benghazi on...

President Barack Obama said during a town hall meeting at the White House on Tuesday that he would never engage in a politics that was aimed at dividing people along the lines of race, ethnicity, religion or gender.

It looks as if Hillary Clinton just made the first gaffe of her new book tour, which is widely perceived to be a proxy for her still-unannounced presidential campaign. During an ABC news interview scheduled to air Monday night, Clinton recalled how she "struggled" to purchase "houses" after she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, left the White House. Both Clintons have embarked on a lucrative speaking career since then, reportedly earning over $100 million in speaking fees alone, and the conservative media quickly jumped on the seemingly tone-deaf remark. "We came out of the White House not only...

Last night, in an interview with the Boston Globe, Elizabeth Warren claimed that her parents were forced to elope because her father’s family objected to her mother’s Native American heritage: "In the 1930s, when my parents got married, these were hard issues,’’ Warren said. “My father’s family so objected to my mother’s Native American heritage that my mother told me they had to elope. [emphasis added] Breitbart News has obtained a copy of what it believes to be Warrens' parents’ marriage certificate from Hughes County, Oklahoma, dated January 4, 1932. The marriage took place in Holdenville, Oklahoma, the county seat,...

Barack Obama is everywhere. There's no escape... Tonight he will appear on that show's 1,000th episode to tell you and host John Walsh what a great job he and his administration are doing fighting crime in America... Obama's appearance tonight on "America's Most Wanted." It really is funny in a perverse kind of way

You Lie! Barack Obama told audiences time after time that, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,” under Obamacare. He demonized those who challenged this argument. This week we found out it was just words. Barack Obama finally admitted on Friday thay you will not be able to keep your doctor if Obamacare is passed. Glenn Beck discussed this stunning admission by President Obama: Obama finally admitted to the GOP you can kiss your doctor good-bye: The last thing I will say, though — let me say this about health care and the health care debate, because...

Obama Repeats '90 Percent' Stat for U.S. Guns Recovered in Mexico The White House stands by the president's use of the word "recovered" in describing the role firearms smuggled from the U.S. play in Mexico's drug war. By Major Garrett FOXNews.com Sunday, April 19, 2009 PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago -- What's the difference between "recovered" and "traceable" when it comes to firearms seized in Mexico's bloody war against drug cartels? The White House says none. But that's a distinction with a difference, even if President Obama used the words interchangeably last week to talk about the role firearms smuggled from...

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s cash-strapped presidential campaign has been putting off paying hundreds of bills for months — freeing up cash for critical media buys, but also earning the campaign a reputation as something of a deadbeat in some small business circles. A pair of Ohio companies owed more than $25,000 by Clinton for staging events for her campaign are warning others in the tight-knit event production community — and anyone else who will listen — to get their cash upfront when doing business with her. Her campaign, say representatives of the two companies, has stopped returning phone calls and e-mails...

Clinton didn't pay health insurance bills By: Kenneth P. Vogel March 31, 2008 10:53 AM EST Among the debts reported this month by Hillary Clinton’s struggling presidential campaign, the $292,000 in unpaid health insurance premiums for her campaign staff stands out. Clinton, who is being pressured to end her campaign against Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination, has made her plan for universal health care a centerpiece of her agenda. The campaign provides health insurance to all its employees, their spouses, partners and children – and that wasn’t interrupted by any lag in payments to insurance providers, said Jay Carson,...

May 13, 2005 — He charged into their lives like a knight in shining armor, claiming to be a Navy officer, an F-14 fighter pilot with a business degree, and with big plans for their futures. Women found his charms — and uniform — irresistible. Like Richard Gere's character from "An Officer and a Gentleman," Eric Cooper seemed like every woman's dream. And in fact, over a 10-year period at least nine women from the Houston area were married or engaged to him. Each woman says she was oblivious to his past relationships, and each woman was convinced she was...

WHEN NEWS broke in the New Hampshire Sunday News that John Kerry made up the story of Mary Ann Knowles having to work through her chemotherapy for fear of losing her health insurance, deja vu bells went off. Knowles, the New Hampshire resident and campaign volunteer he cited in his Democratic National Convention acceptance speech and used as justification for his health care plan, didn’t work through chemo because of an insurance problem. She kept working because her salary would have been reduced if she had gone on disability — a weighty prospect, to be sure. But, her husband told...
