30,000 missing emails from IRS' Lerner recovered By Susan Ferrechio Washington Examiner November 21, 2014 | 4:36 pm Up to 30,000 missing emails sent by former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner have been recovered by the IRS inspector general, five months after they were deemed lost forever. The U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) informed congressional staffers from several committees on Friday that the emails were found among hundreds of “disaster recovery tapes” that were used to back up the IRS email system. “They just said it took them several weeks and some forensic effort to get these emails off these tapes,” a ...

Obama releases Gitmo detainees, setting up fight with GOP By Charles Hoskinson Washington Examiner November 21, 2014 | 12:12 pm President Obama has opened a new front in his hard line against the incoming Republican Congress by releasing more detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, against lawmakers' objections. The Pentagon announced Thursday that four al Qaeda fighters from Yemen, including a senior figure who facilitated travel to Afghanistan for Arab extremists, and a Tunisian extremist would be transferred to Slovakia and Georgia. The transfers leave 143 detainees at Guantanamo, which Obama has vowed to close. Republican lawmakers, who have been pressing the administration to ...
Will Scripted Ferguson Agenda Overshadow the Executive Amnesty Announcement?

“Fear is a very powerful weapon, it catalyzes, it causes division, it can be used as an excuse to remove even more civil liberties. Make no mistake America, there are reasons the media are portraying this, in this particular light. You are ALL being manipulated.” (random comment I read the other day…) History has shown that so many revolutions that many of us have cheered on over the years have turned out to be completely fabricated (or at the very least, co-opted) for an ultimate end game. Let me start this article by letting you know (in case you didn’t) that every massive rights movement in modern American history has ultimately wound up infiltrated… Every single ...
Reagan and Bush Offer No Precedent for Obama's Amnesty Order

Reagan and Bush Offer No Precedent for Obama's Amnesty Order Not only were past executive actions smaller, they didn't work. David Frum The Atlantic Nov 18 2014, 5:26 PM ET “What about Reagan in 1987? And George H.W. Bush in 1990?” This has become a favorite Democratic and center-left rebuttal to Republicans angry at reports that President Obama may soon grant residency and working papers to as many as 5 million illegal aliens. If Obama acts, he’d rely on precedents set by Republican predecessors. Surely that should disbar today’s Republicans from complaining? Surely not, and for four reasons. 1) Reagan and Bush acted in conjunction with Congress and in ...

No, ‘Prosecutorial Discretion’ Does Not Justify Obama’s Lawless Amnesty Obama’s planned action perverts the meaning of the legal doctrine. By Andrew C. McCarthy National Review November 20, 2014 12:36 PM Can the president make fraud and theft legal? How about assault? Cocaine use? Perjury? You’d have to conclude he can — and that we have supplanted the Constitution with a monarchy — if you buy President Obama’s warped notion of prosecutorial discretion. Tonight, Mr. Obama will unveil his executive order granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. According to news accounts, the criminal-law doctrine of prosecutorial discretion is the ...
A Law Enforcement Perspective on Obama’s Lawlessness

A Law Enforcement Perspective on Obama’s Lawlessness Dan Bongino Conservative Review After hearing the presidential address tonight, we all have to attempt to put partisan leanings aside and we must ask ourselves what type of country we want to hand over to our children. Although the President's speech addressed immigration, the real questions we need addressed are the role of law, order, the limits of government power, and the role of our Constitution. If, as the President claimed, the President of the United States can ignore whatever laws he disagrees with through "prosecutorial discretion", then what are the defining limits of his power? When I was a federal agent ...

White House hits TV networks for skipping immigration address By Hadas Gold Politico 11/19/14 7:33 PM EST The White House is exasperated with the major broadcast networks – ABC, CBS and NBC -- for skipping out on President Barack Obama’s Thursday primetime address on his executive actions on immigration. “In 2006, Bush gave a 17 minute speech that was televised by all three networks that was about deploying 6000 national guard troops to the border. Obama is making a 10 minute speech that will have a vastly greater impact on the issue. And none of the networks are doing it. We can’t believe they were aggrieved that we announced this on Facebook,” a senior ...

Obama to detail immigration order Thursday night By Dave Boyer The Washington Times Updated: 1:43 p.m. on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 President Obama said Wednesday he will use “my lawful authority as president” to issue a highly anticipated executive order on immigration in a prime-time address from the White House on Thursday night. In a video posted on Facebook, Mr. Obama said he will outline “some steps that I can take to start fixing our broken immigration system.” His action is expected to grant legal status and work permits for as many as 5 million illegal immigrants and touch off a firestorm with congressional Republicans. “Everybody agrees that our ...

Ferguson Protest Group Releases List of Targets, Including: Anheuser Busch, Boeing, Emerson Electric, Airport

The Justice for Mike Brown Ferguson protest group released its list of potential targets following the decision by the St. Louis County Courthouse on the Mike Brown case. The published map shows expected landmarks like the Ferguson City Hall and the County Courthouse. But it also marks things that have NOTHING to do with the Michael Brown situation, like Anheuser Busch and Boeing. Most telling thing is the mark for Emerson Electric. Emerson has been in Ferguson for at least 50 years, long before Ferguson became a minority municipality. Yet not only do they mark Emerson they make note of the CEO’s salary. Maybe they’re mutating into an extortion group straight out of the ...

By now is absolutely clear that as far as the GOP Leadership at least is concerned the answer is YES!.

Far from marking the Republican Party’s rebirth, the elections of 2014 foretell the possibility that the law of supply and demand—which operates in politics as well as in economics—will kill it in 2016. That is because the Republican Establishment has no intention of meeting the American people’s pent-up demand, expressed so forcefully in the mid-term elections, to turn America away from the direction in which government, under both parties, has shoved it over the past generation. The Republican Establishment, reading the results as a mandate to continue doing what it has been doing, will proceed as normal, and then be as challengeable as the Democrats in two years. The ...
Michael Brown’s parents make ABSURD demand about Officer Darren Wilson to the United Nations

While we await the grand jury’s decision about Officer Darren Wilson, the parents of Mike Brown are busy bees. They went before the United Nations to talk about police brutality and human rights violations. It’s unclear how Lesley McSpadden, Mike Brown’s mother, sees the role of the UN. It appears that she thinks they have authority over the United States. McSpadden is under investigation for a very violent crime, but that isn’t what she talked about at the UN, of course. “We need the world to know what’s going on in Ferguson and we need justice. We need answers and we need action. And we have to bring it to the U.N. so they can expose it to the rest of ...

The amazing and indefatigable Ann Corcoran has a piece up at her hyper-busy Refugee Resettlement Watch blog about Maine’s just re-elected Governor Paul LePage following through on a campaign commitment: Longtime readers know we have closely followed the controversy in Maine (archive here) where the state had gained a reputation around the country (and probably the third-world) as the state to go to and apply for asylum. Why? Because even as federal law does not say asylum seekers can get welfare during their wait for the legal process to play out, Maine was giving hand- outs to the “undocumented.” Republican Governor LePage vowed to reform Maine’s reputation as the ...
The Open Borders Libertarian Curse Cost At Least One Senate Seat

A Libertarian candidate in Virginia cost the Republicans a Senate seat and threw the election to Democrat Mark Warner. And this is only the beginning of what could be a long term trend of Libertarian spoilers as the GOP/GAP dependence on white voters inevitably increases. Libertarian Robert Sarvis took 53,000 votes in the Old Dominion, far greater than Republican Ed Gillespie losing margin of 16,700. [Republican Beasts Expectations but Concedes Virginia Senate Race, by Trip Gabriel, New York Times, November 7, 2014] That’s a significant 2.5%.

GLENVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — On Veterans Day, Justus Belfield donned his Army uniform one more time, even though he was too weak to leave his bed at an upstate New York nursing home. The 98-year-old World War II veteran died the next day. The Daily Gazette of Schenectady reports (http://bit.ly/1v95WZQ ) that Belfield had worn his uniform every Veterans Day since he and his wife moved into Baptist Health Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Glenville, outside Albany, several years ago. On Tuesday, the former master sergeant wasn't able to get out of bed to participate in the facility's Veterans Day festivities, so he had the staff dress him in his uniform.

Earlier this week in New York City I attended a talk by Nelson Hultberg of Americans for a Free Republic. It was a good talk, an evening well spent. Hultberg is a witty and persuasive speaker. His idea for a second-party opposition to the current Washington establishment deserves support. (AFR types eschew the phrase “third party” because they regard the current Washington establishment, correctly in my opinion, to be a single party with two wings.) I urge VDARE.com readers to check out the AFR website and Nelson Hultberg’s book, available there. If, as AFR hopes, their National Independent Party has candidates on your ballot in 2016, consider voting for them. ...
Washington Post Writer Fails to Fact Check Nancy Pelosi's Jonathan Gruber Denial

The Obamacare architect that dares not speak his name. At least from the lips of Democrats who nowadays are pretending to have little or no knowledge of Jonathan Gruber. The most prominent of the Gruber denialists is House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi quoted by Washington Post reporter Sean Sullivan whose story headline also featured this denial: "I don't know who he is. He didn't help write our bill." Gee. If Nancy Pelosi said that then it must be true! If you think me a bit too credulous for accepting Pelosi denial without checking her veracity, well that is exactly what Sullivan did. Absolutely no fact checking. Of course, in this Age of the Web, fact checking is ...

Obamacare's Foundation of Lies There is only one kind of lie, it's apolitical, and it cripples the best of intentions. By Ron Fournier National Journal November 12, 2014 A lie is apolitical, or at least it should be. If there is one thing that unites clear-headed Americans, it's a belief that our leaders must be transparent and honest. And yet, there seem to be two types of lies in our political discourse: Those that hurt "my party" and "my policies"; and those that don't. We condemn the former and forgive the latter—cheapening the bond of trust that enables a society to progress. This truism came to mind when I read a Washington Post story ...

Democratic Party Favorable Rating Falls to Record Low by Andrew Dugan Gallup November 12, 2014 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- After the midterm elections that saw the Democratic Party suffer significant losses in Congress, a record-low 36% of Americans say they have a favorable opinion of the party, down six percentage points from before the elections. The Republican Party's favorable rating, at 42%, is essentially unchanged from 40%. This marks the first time since September 2011 that the Republican Party has had a higher favorability rating than the Democratic Party. [snip]

Allen Fletcher, concerns “an alternative means of payment of certain criminal fines and court costs.” “Under the procedure, a peace officer making an arrest of a defendant (1) shall inform the defendant of: (A) the possibility of ...
