Congress, and the conservatives that currently lead it need to slap down Obama some more. In your face statements, declarations, and perhaps even an attempt at a law or two. The hysterics are quite comical and prove once and for all that Obama lives in a glass house with a fragile ego, and is not as powerful as he wants to believe. 1. Boehner invites Netanyahu to address a joint session. 2. 47 Senators send a letter to Iran explaining how our Constitution works regarding treaties and unratified treaties (executive agreements). What's next? The two we've already experienced were bounced...

The IRS has announced plans to follow up President Obama’s illegal grant of amnesty to persons in this country illegally with a program that will permit illegal aliens to receive tax refunds for taxes they never paid. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen defended the move as “a necessary component of the President’s vision for America’s future. The vast majority of these immigrants are poor. They will need substantial help if the President’s dream of transforming our culture is to become a reality. Diverting some of America’s excess wealth to these people via tax refunds is one way of making this happen.”...

“By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes” - MacBethWhat we know so far:The Clinton Conflicts of Interest Foundation did indeed receive contributions from foreign governments and corporations while Hills was conducting d’affaires of state.Hillary did in fact have her own private email system and server and her official, and possibly classified, correspondence were not archived, as required by federal law and State Department rules. Also, they were not, as required by federal law and court orders, included in State Department responses to requests from Congress and several FOIAs.Big Guy misremembered first finding out about the private email...

I found the original funny, but still incorrect. Enjoy the personal 'corrections'. Not too many posts, so excuse me if I didn't get it 100%. ********** A Democrat, Republican and Libertarian were walking down a path. "Help! Help!" shouted the man from the bottom of a 20-ft hole. "What's the problem?" asked the three atop who heard his pleas. "I dug this deep hole and now, I'm stuck at the bottom." "Here," roared the Democrat, "I'll help.", 'invested' $100 he taxed from the Libertarian, gave his buddy, the ladder maker, $25 pocketed $50 got a 'deal' on a 3-ft step...

a most appreciated tip o the hat to Freeper Texas Cajun for the CONCEP posted here on FR minutes ago.

The Clintons have always attracted scandals like black gabardine trousers attract lint from cheap white napkins. They’ve hosted two doozies in just the last few weeks: The Clinton Foundation continual receipt of donations from countries that then Secretary of State Hills was negotiating with on behalf of the U.S. government. Makes you wonder what the real “Clinton global initiative” is all about The private email server of Hillary Rodham Clinton while conducting official, “transparent” U.S. government business. Don’t worry though, if you were planning on Hillary being our historic, first female president, Bubba has established a new ethical standard against...

Panic overtook Jerusalem today as a black hole formed in central Israel. The event was caused by the continued accumulation of guilt by the Israeli left, until their shame became so dense that it collapsed in on itself, creating a singularity. Having been described as “being ashamed of their own existence,” the Left Wing have long been criticized for ignoring the realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, choosing instead to dwell on the guilt of crimes, real and/or imaginary, against the Palestinians. The Israeli Left maintains that such claims are Israeli propaganda designed to harm the Palestinians. RELATED: Israeli Forces attack...

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland – Something wasn’t right here. Not only was the hall suddenly overflowing, these were a different breed. Something subtly amiss grew increasingly creepy by the minute. Unthreatening enough not to cause panic but perceptibly subversive and sinister enough to trigger alarms. Then it became clear. It was an invasion. By an entirely alien invasive species. The polyester-blend nation of Stepford Republicans had seized control of the conservative conference known as CPAC. It was obvious the crowd for Jeb Bush had been imported. It wasn’t just the overflowing hall. Or the suspicious number of Bush stickers on lapels...

We finally managed to make it back home after an exciting day, and a wardrobe change, in Selma.It was quite a day, Big Guy gave a moving speech and explained again how We are the Wons we’ve been waiting for: "Look at our history.

No one can give me a compelling reason why we are forced to change our clocks twice a year. I say we abolish this nonsense, or at least split the difference by half an hour, and leave it alone. But, in lieu of that, I thought we could have a music thread for Saturday night featuring time-themed songs. I'll start it out with Simon and Garfunkel's, "Hazy Shade of Winter."

Story from a retired NYPD officer, starts out like this - One day, my partner Nicky and I responded to a call on Church Street in New York City. When we arrived, a woman was leaning out of a fifth story window yelling “Up here! Up here!” We ran up the stairs of the old five-story walk-up and saw that the old wooden door had been knocked in and was hanging by a single hinge. We went inside and met with a heavy set thirty-ish, latin lady who had been yelling from the window. She was clearly upset and sporting...

While GOP members of Congress seemed mostly impressed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech on dealing with Iran, President Obama was not. “He didn’t say anything new,” Obama complained. “It was just the same old story about Jews being threatened with annihilation. Iranian officials may have said on several occasions that wiping Israel off the map was their goal, but I have a feeling that they’re just bluffing. Even if they aren’t I doubt that they could succeed where the much more powerful Nazi war machine did not.” “And even if the Iranians did wipe Israel off the map...

Hillary Clinton, facing increasing investigations of her private email accounts while she was Secretary of State, and worried that the scandal could destroy her presidential prospects, sat down yesterday with Oprah (for an interview to be aired tomorrow on MSNBC) to explain that she is "addicted to pornography, and set up the private email system so that she could surf the net without violating federal regulations."

The revelation that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of an insecure private email account for top secret communications has even liberal commentators concerned. On MSNBC's TV news show Morning Joe, Lawrence O'Donnell, a self-described “practical European socialist,” observed that “e-mail system was set up obviously to defy the freedom of Information Act.” Co-Host, Mika Brzezinski agreed saying “this wasn't honest.” On the other hand, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf attempted to rebuff criticism by repeating Clinton's infamous “what difference does it make at this point?” remark the then Secretary of State made in her appearance before a Congressional...

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” - Booker T. Washington (1865–1915) Ricky’s own Department of Justice has been forced to...
