Obama’s Years of Collaboration with Terror Supporters

As the Obama administration seeks to move beyond a welter of scandals, a new report by investigative journalist Patrick Poole reveals that the frenzy isn't quite over yet. On top of the IRS's targeting of conservatives, the DOJ's seizure of reporters' phone records and the coverup surrounding the murder of four Americans in Benghazi, the White House's years-long collaboration with supporters of terrorism is finally getting the scrutiny it deserves.

Iranian Terror Cells Infest South America

Last Wednesday, Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman accused Iran of "infiltrating" South America and establishing intelligence networks aimed at carrying out more terrorist attacks in the region. Nisman said the effort has been ongoing since the 1980s in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Guyana, Surinam and Trinidad and Tobago. "These are sleeper cells," he explained. "They have activities you wouldn't imagine. Sometimes they die having never received the order to attack."

Obama’s Iraq Surrender

After almost a century of existence, the borders that form the modern Mideast nation states appear to be on the verge of disintegration. Part of the driving force behind this meltdown, as observers are beginning to acknowledge, is of course the intractable sectarian war in Syria. But a far bigger part of the picture is the accelerating destabilization of Iraq.

The ObamaCare Meltdown Begins

While Americans remain focused on the IRS's targeting of conservative groups applying for tax exempt status, two recently filed lawsuits reveal a far deeper level of alleged corruption at the agency. On May 2, a group of small businesses challenged the IRS's attempt to illegally implement health insurance subsidies contained in the Affordable Healthcare Act, aka ObamaCare.

The Perjury Rap Sheet of an Attorney General

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder remains in the eye of a largely self-inflicted storm. The House Judiciary Committee is initiating an investigation into whether Holder lied under oath when he testified before the Committee on May 15th regarding the Department of Justice's (DOJ) seizure of Fox News reporter James Rosen's emails.

Islam’s War of Annihilation Against Hindus

A thought-provoking essay written by Narain Kataria, president of the Indian American Intellectuals Forum, sounds a familiar alarm. "Hinduism Faces Eclipse" reveals that "the anti-Hindu forces within and without India are working in tandem on an insidious mission to destroy our civilization and culture, and obliterate Hinduism from the Indian soil." Kataria further contends that Indians are not facing terrorism, but worldwide jihad, which he calls a "fully globalized franchise...working overtime to destroy all non-Muslim nations."

More Benghazi Whistleblowers Ready to Step Forward

According to two former diplomats who spoke with PJ Media's Roger Simon, more Benghazi whistleblowers will emerge and blow a giant hole in the Obama administration's already shaky narrative regarding the deaths of four Americans.

Boston Bomber Linked to 9/11 Anniversary Murder of Jews

Early Wednesday morning, Chechen immigrant Ibragim Todashev, 27, was shot dead at his Orlando apartment while being questioned by an FBI agent and other law enforcement officials about his connection to Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Law enforcement sources report that Todashev was initially cooperative, but became violent as he was about to sign a written statement confessing to a triple homicide allegedly committed by himself and Tsarnaev. “The agent, two Massachusetts State Police troopers, and other law enforcement personnel were interviewing an individual in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing investigation when a violent confrontation was initiated by the individual,” said a statement released by the FBI. “During the confrontation, the individual was killed and the agent sustained non-life threatening injuries.”

IRS’s Lois Lerner Pleads the Fifth

Lois Lerner, director of the IRS tax-exempt organization division that targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny, put in a brief but self-serving appearance before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee yesterday. "I have not done anything wrong," she insisted in her opening statement.

Obama’s War on Fox News Reporters

In a stunning sequences of events that unfolded yesterday, it was revealed the Department of Justice's (DOJ) efforts to intimidate the media went beyond targeting reporters and editors at the Associated Press. Early in the day, the Washington Post reported that the DOJ not only seized the phone records of Fox News reporter James Rosen, but used his security badge to access records tracking his movements at the State Department, traced the timing of his calls with a Department security advisor suspected of giving him classified information, and obtained a search warrant to access his personal emails.

More Secrets From Huma Abedin

Huma Abedin, former Secretary of State Hillary's Clinton's long time aide with extensive ties to Muslim Brotherhood groups, was granted an arrangement by the State Department to do outside consulting work, even as she remained a top advisor in the Department.

Pro-Life Groups Confirm: IRS Targeting Began in 2009

The list of categories included in the IRS's effort to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status continues to widen. On Wednesday, the Thomas More Society, a Chicago-based public interest law firm, announced that cases they handled "demonstrate the agency's abuse of pro-life organizations in addition to those identified as 'tea party', 'patriot', or 'government spending' groups."

Desperate Holder Throws Underlings Under the Bus

In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder reinforced the notion that he is unfit to remain in office.

Eric Holder: The Culture of Corruption Enforcer

Just as the Obama administration’s IRS-targeting scandal has started to metastasize, a new controversy has erupted over the government’s monitoring of one of the nation’s largest press bureaus. Using a series of broad subpoenas, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) secretly obtained two months of telephone records belonging to reporters and editors working for the Associated Press (AP).

Obama’s MSNBC Whore

Yesterday, administration was involved in a cover-up. "If this was some effort on our part to try to downplay what had happened or tamp it down, that would be a pretty odd thing that three days later we end up putting out all the information," Obama said. "Who executes some sort of cover-up or effort to tamp things down for three days? So the whole thing defies logic." Equally willing to defy logic was Obama's MSNBC # Chris Matthews, who has been more than eager to carry water for the Obama administration. Indeed, Matthews' coverage of the unrelenting Benghazi scandal has distinguished itself as being particularly loathsome. Last Thursday, Matthews was in fine form. After acknowledging that Greg Hicks, former deputy chief of mission in Libya, had testified before the House that he had spoken with Hillary Clinton on the night of the attack and that Clinton's Chief of Staff tried to intimidate him into silence, Matthews downplayed the egregiousness of the former secretary of State's scandalous behavior.

The Taxman Cometh—For Obama’s Enemies

On Friday, an Obama administration with an already appalling track record of scandals added an equally egregious revelation to the list. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) apologized for what they characterized as an "inappropriate" targeting of tax-exempt conservative organizations, whose names included "Tea Party" or "Patriot," during the 2012 election campaign. Adding to severity of the debacle, the Washington Post reported Friday that the IRS division head "had no plans to release the information publicly, despite the confirmed wrongdoing."

Blow-by-Blow: How Obama & Hillary Left Americans to Die

Wednesday on Capitol Hill, three impeccable witnesses offered the clearest evidence to date that the Obama administration's response to Benghazi before, during and after the terrorist attack that claimed the lives of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, State Department employee Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen A. Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods, was a deadly combination of ineptitude, political calculations, and outright lying.

A Federal Takeover of Elections?

On March 28, President Obama issued Executive Order 13639, establishing a Presidential Commission on Election Administration "in order to promote the efficient administration of Federal elections and to improve the experience of all voters." The ostensible premise behind this effort is the idea that some voters were forced to wait too long in line to cast their ballots. Yet a growing number of critics see something entirely different: they see this as an attempt to initiate a federal takeover of elections.

Amnesty & the Bankrupting of America

A report released by the conservative Heritage Foundation threatens to blow a big hole in the so-called Gang of Eight's attempt to implement comprehensive immigration reform. An analysis of the costs associated with granting amnesty to 11 million illegal aliens is staggering: according to the report, taxpayers would be forced to shell out $6.3 trillion, even when the 10-year barrier preventing newly legalized individuals from seeking government benefits is factored into the equation.

Obama & Clinton’s Benghazi Lies Exposed

A searing new Interim Progress Report released by the GOP chairmen of five House committees reveals the disturbing extent of the Obama administration's deceit and manipulation over the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. As the 43-page document details, not only was gross incompetence to blame for the success of the attack that cost four Americans their lives, but a concerted effort at the highest levels of government was undertaking to cover up the debacle, deceive the public and shield officials, including then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama, from responsibility.
