(CNSNews.com) - Weeks after accusing President Bush of "shameful" behavior over the imprisonment of two Border Patrol agents who shot an unarmed suspected drug smuggler along the U.S.-Mexico border, a federal lawmaker turned up the heat further Wednesday, suggesting the president should be impeached if either of the two men is murdered in prison.

It has been 11 years since the horrific bombing and mass murder at the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. We have still not learned the truth. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) has announced that he will be holding hearings to learn the truth and examine a foreign connection. Jayna Davis, the one reporter in this nation who has never given up on pursuing the truth about the Iraqi connection, returned my phone call today. She is really steamed. According to Jayna, what Rohrabacher is doing is phony. The reason she knows it is phony is that Rohrabacher has not called one...

When President Bush arrives in Irvine on Monday morning to pitch his immigration reform plan, one of his party's best-known local standard-bearers will be maintaining a respectful — and politically careful — distance. Dana Rohrabacher, the nine-term Republican congressman from Huntington Beach, generally supports the president, but disagrees with his immigration policies. So Rohrabacher plans to sit out Bush's speech to the Orange County Business Council. "I don't want to be behind him looking glum and not applauding," Rohrabacher said. "So as not to be rude to the president — which I think is inexcusable — I think I'll just...

What was the meaning of the past remarkable nine days? You cannot stop the American people from feeling what they feel and showing it. From the crowds at Simi Valley to the hordes at the Capitol to the men and women who stopped and got out of their cars on Highway 101 to salute as Reagan came home--that was America talking to America about who America is. It was a magnificent teaching moment for the whole country but most of all for the young, who barely remembered Ronald Reagan or didn't remember him at all. This week they heard who...

ROHRBACHER DEMANDING NEW PROBE OF OKC Jayna Davis and I had an interesting phone conversation this morning. She is still waiting for a plane ticket to D.C. and an invitation to testify about the OKC bombing. Neither has been forthcoming. Is it good news that Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-CA) is demanding a new probe of the OKC bombing? Maybe. But is it going to really get to the truth about the Middle Eastern connection to OKC? Maybe not. Last year, David Schippers, famous for prosecuting both the Chicago mob and William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, flew to OKC to meet...

LOU DOBBS: Congressman Dana Rohrabacher of California ...has introduced a bill that would forbid anyone working in this country illegally from receiving Social Security benefits, and he joins us tonight from Capitol Hill. Congressman, good to have you with us. ROHRABACHER: Thank you very much. DOBBS: Correct my interpretation if it is wrong -- not only are the American people denied representation on immigration policy in this country, but the effect of a totalization agreement is to deny participation by the U.S. Congress, other than through veto. ROHRABACHER: I will have to say that this is an undemocratic way of...

It was shocking news that Patrick J. Buchanan, Ronald Reagan's communications director, is getting $500,000 to write a Bush-bashing book to be titled, "Where the Right Went Wrong." The New York Post quoted a publishing insider as saying, "They could put Michael Moore on the jacket of this book, and people would believe he wrote it." But the Post story also said the book "is scheduled to go on sale in early August, to coincide with the start of the Republican National Convention – at which Buchanan will be a commentator for MSNBC." With the exception of Joe Scarborough's show,...

June 17, 2004 -- JOINING the ranks of Bush-bashing books is one from a most unlikely source. The Thomas Dunne imprint of St. Martin's Press has agreed to pay around $500,000 to Pat Buchanan for an anti-Dubya book to be called "Where the Right Went Wrong." The proto-conservative will blast the Bush Administration for behaviors both domestic and foreign. He is particularly scornful of the U.S. foreign policy that has "ignited a war of civilizations" with the Islamic world. Publishing insiders say Buchanan's thoughts on the 43rd president are surprisingly out of character. "They could put Michael Moore on the...
