On Friday afternoon, Fox News host Neil Cavuto took the rather extraordinary step of delivering a lengthy apology over his show’s use of Wayne Simmons as a terrorism expert, after it was revealed that Simmons had been arrested for allegedly lying about his ties to the Central Intelligence Agency. Cavuto told viewers that “it has come to our attention that a frequent guest on this show might not have been who he purported to be”

Wayne Simmons has been arrested after a federal grand jury indicted him on "charges of major fraud against the United States, wire fraud, and making false statements to the government," including allegedly falsely claiming he worked for the CIA. Simmons was a frequent and favorite guest on Fox News, and was one of the conservative media's purported experts on the 2012 Benghazi attacks. Simmons joined several prominent conservative activists and media figures in calling for the House to convene a Benghazi Select Committee.

A Fox News guest terrorism analyst was arrested on Thursday after a grand jury indicted him on charges of falsely claiming to have been a CIA agent for decades, US prosecutors said. Wayne Simmons, 62, of Annapolis, Maryland, bogusly portrayed himself as an “Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Officer” for the Central Intelligence Agency from 1973 to 2000, the US Attorney’s Office for Virginia’s Eastern District said in a statement. Simmons allegedly tried to use that claim to get government security clearances and work as a defense contractor. At one point he was deployed overseas as an intelligence adviser to senior...

'If you have a problem with America,  you have a problem with me!' -Gene Simmons Unlike many of today's less-appreciative-type immigrants -who entertain visions of conquest- traditional American immigrants of the 20th century (and their children) are among the most patriotic people you could ever ask to meet. They knew how good we've got it in this country -felt blessed for being allowed in- and where/are sincerely grateful for America's sacrifice on their behalf- you never heard any of this entitlement crap from them...What's that got to do with Gene Simmons?  He was actually born Chaim Witz in Israel on...

The twice-delayed trial of 76-year-old John H. Spooner, accused of fatally shooting his 13-year-old neighbor, got off to a slow start Monday, as cases backlogged because of last week's courthouse fire took up most of the morning. Jury selection is now expected to get underway at 1 p.m. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner requested a pool of 50 potential jurors, a larger-than-usual number due to the publicity Spooner's case has gained in the past year. Spooner faces a charge of first-degree intentional homicide after allegedly killing Darius Simmons in front of his mother. Spooner suspected Simmons of stealing guns...

The White House insists President Obama is "outraged" by the "inappropriate" targeting and harassment of conservative groups. If true, it's a remarkable turnaround for a man who helped pioneer those tactics. On Aug. 21, 2008, the conservative American Issues Project ran an ad highlighting ties between candidate Obama and Bill Ayers, formerly of the Weather Underground. The Obama campaign and supporters were furious, and they pressured TV stations to pull the ad—a common-enough tactic in such ad spats. What came next was not common. Bob Bauer, general counsel for the campaign (and later general counsel for the White House), on...

Local and regional media coverage of the 27-year-old Simmons, who allegedly punched a 70-year-old employee of Walmart on Christmas Eve, has been intense and each prospective juror was asked how he or she found out about the case.

Hip-hop Mogul Russell Simmons created a firestorm after making a comparison between Anti-Defamation League president Abraham Foxman and the Minister Louis Farrakhan. Foxman is calling the comparison, which occurred this week while Simmons was in Jerusalem for the Israel Presidential Conference, “outrageous and ugly.” During his now-contentious remarks, Simmons defended the friendship he has with Farrakhan and dismissed the radical faith leader’s comments on Jews. In drawing his comparison, the business leader claimed that Foxman has alienated African Americans just as Foxman has purportedly alienated Jews. While Foxman is outraged by the incident, some are coming to Simmons’ defense, claiming...
