“Having this debate year after year offers little certainty to agents utilizing these provisions to keep the nation safe,” said ranking member Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. “Short-term reauthorizations lead to operational uncertainty and compliance and reporting problems if the reauthorization occurs too close to expiration,” Grassley continued. “If these provisions are necessary, we should provide more [...]

2010 Rewind of Fox News
Posted: January 2, 2011 in UncategorizedTags: Fox news, Glenn Beck, Jon Stewart, Neil Cavuto, Right Wing, Sarah Palin
Fox News brought us a lot of good things to blog about in 2010. Good, that is, for us. If it weren’t for Sarah Palin spouting nonsensical words and dubious phrases and saying that the President of the United States has no ‘cojones’ over the Arizona law and Jan Brewer (‘cojones’ is a Spanish word, [...]

Sarah Palin has turned away from the juvenile forums of Facebook and Twitter, at least for a while, to release a new book – America by Heart. Well, in this case an excerpt. “We have to know what makes America exceptional today more than ever because it is under assault today more than ever,” the [...]
A Tea Party to Nowhere
Posted: June 4, 2010 in Current Events, News, PoliticsTags: Afghanistan, Interventionism, Iraq, Right Wing, Sarah Palin, Tea Party
By Philip Giraldi The Tea Party phenomenon has attracted a good deal of both good and bad attention in the media. Though it would perhaps be a stretch to describe it as a movement in that it has only limited organization and focus, it does tap into a genuine disconnect between the American people and [...]
The Hannity truth — I mean scam, and prostitute lover!

But then again, neither does Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck. [...]

People who have conspiracy theories about the government are thought to be ”crazy”. The Bilderberg Group, the CFR, the some odd intelligence agencies, Bohemian Grove, the Freemasons – it’s all hogwash right? Hollywood has done a great job in making people think that one well conditioned, muscle ripped man can take on terrorists or the guv’ment. But in reality we can’t. [...]

A friend of mine sent me an email not long ago explaining that he heard on the radio of a man saying that the president being “Commander-in-Chief” is a twentieth century myth. That he is only the C-in-C in times of war. War that is given to the Congress in the Constitution under article one, [...]
