Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that to serve in the Trump administration, you must have “affection for racist and misogynist philosophy.” Host Jake Tapper said, “You’re on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. There are reports that a gentleman named Darren Beattie is going to be put forward to be Acting Undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs. That’s a key post. We should note, Beattie left the first Trump administration after the tide of criticism because he attended a conference tied to white nationalists. Beattie also posted on social media things like this, quote, ‘Competent...

I like Dr Ben Carson. I respect Ben Carson. I admire what he made of himself and how he's seemed to have lived his life. I agree with almost everything that comes out of his mouth. But what can this man possibly offer as a leader that we wouldn't simply get more-and-better of from Ted Cruz? Ben Carson is a good man, and it's difficult to 'attack' him on any specific major issue- he's said some dumb things about guns before, but generally there's not much daylight between our views. Alas, after enduring the utterly-unqualified Obama wreck the country, how is...

From deep within the bowels of America’s most beloved bureaucracy: The good news: free colonoscopies for everybody! The bad news: they’re part of the new airport screening protocol. Here’s one that didn’t make the cut: 6. Someone once said: “The nine most dangerous words are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” Do you know who said it, and do you think it’s humorous?

4 Cases have been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States that define the status of Natural Born Citizen.

Have you seen this, it was origonally aired on Conan O'brien..

The Obama doublespeak brigade appears to be sewing confusion as to the issues discussed in my previous post regarding exemptions for POTUS in EO 12968. As stated in the previous article, POTUS and VP are exempt from security clearance examinations for receiving classified information listed in EO 12968. However, Sections 5.2(5)(d) and (e) make it clear that if the agency head in charge of such classified info determines that the procedures listed within the EO cannot be invoked without risk to national security – then such provisions do not limit the agency head’s power to deny release of classified information....

A thorough review of national security clearance guidelines and federal statutes indicates that various heads of government agencies in charge of disseminating classified information should deny access to classified information to President Obama unless and until he undergoes a statutory background check and achieves a proper security clearance. This article stipulates that it is common practice for the FBI to grant full security clearance to elected officials such as Congressman and Senators. The same courtesy has been extended to the office of President and Vice President. This is done in recognition that these elected officials represent the will of the...

A controversial suit brought by a U.S. Army reservist has been joined by a retired Army two-star general and an active reserve Air Force lieutenant colonel. Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook filed the suit July 8 in federal court here asking for conscientious objector status and a preliminary injunction based upon his belief that Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. But before the issue got to court, Cook’s orders to deploy to Afghanistan were revoked. Lt. Col. Maria Quon, U.S. Army Public Affairs...

Now it's on to Normandy, to apologize to the Germans. It's the least an American president can do after the way the Allied armies left so much of Europe in rubble. There's a lot of groveling to do for what America accomplished in the Pacific, too. This prospect should appeal to Barack Obama, who relishes the role of Apologizer-in-Chief. Apologizing for manifold sins against civilization is not always easy, but it's simple enough: "Blame America First." You just open a vein and let it flow. In Cairo, Mr. Obama opened an artery.

Gang, The answer is in Chicago -- well, maybe it is, and maybe there are more questions, too. I called the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and spoke to a competent young man who told me that nobody would be required to check Obama's citizen status except the state government in which he resides and votes. So that would be Chicago. That is the place where the proof of his citizenship would have had to have been established when he first registered to vote in Illinois. What we need is someone in Chicago to investigate the circumstances and documentation presented when he...

Q: What kind of inquiries will the FBI make into my background? A: Credit and criminal history checks will be conducted on all applicants. For a Top Secret security clearance, the background investigation includes additional record checks which can verify citizenship for the applicant and family members, verification of birth, education, employment history, and military history. Additionally, interviews will be conducted of persons who know the candidate, and of any spouse divorced within the past ten years. Additional interviews will be conducted, as needed, to resolve any inconsistencies. Residences will be confirmed, neighbors interviewed, and public records queried for information...

In addition to saying that children should be "off limits" in the campaign, Senator Biden also said that he thought Gov. Palin is qualified to be Vice President. Recall that Biden could not say Senator Obama was qualified to be President during the Democratic primaries
