Washington buzzing about impeaching Obama - 'I'm not willing to take it off the table'

A Republican congressman says pursuing the impeachment of President Obama for his mishandling of the response to the terror attack at the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, is still an option, and he vows to continue digging at the “lies of highest magnitude” from the White House.

“I would say yes. I’m not willing to take it off to take it off the table, but that’s certainly not what we’re striving for,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told CNN.  Read More

This refers to the phone records for the AP from the House press gallery, which the DOJ admitted to looking at.  Read More

Senate Dems Have as Much to Explain as the IRS - Democratic chairman calling for hearings into IRS Demanded IRS to engage in that conduct in 2010

With Washington gripped by a trio of exploding scandals this week – from Benghazi to government spying on news outlets to thug tactics by the Internal Revenue Service – Senate Democrats seem to be hoping that if they just yell loud enough then voters will overlook a key role they played in at least one of them.

They quickly sensed the political toxicity associated with Friday's admission by the IRS that they selectively targeted conservative organizations for special government scrutiny, and so Democrats didn't waste any time springing into action. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus of Montana, for example, vowed congressional hearings and called the IRS actions "an outrageous abuse of power and a breach of the public's trust."  Read More

IRS Targeting of Conservative Groups Expanded Far Beyond Tea Party

The IRS's singling out of groups with "tea party" or "patriot" in their names is just part of the story. Agents also sought additional information from groups that were critical of government spending, the debt, taxes and those that seek to "make America a better place to live," according to an audit by the IRS inspector general.
The tax-collecting agency issued an apology and admitted on Friday that low-level agents in its Cincinnati office were responsible for placing additional burdens on conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. Such groups can receive 501(c)(4) status if they engage in some political activity, but their primary focus must be promoting social welfare.   Read More

Why Obama released embarrassing IRS bombshell - Michele Bachmann explains White House's willingness to take heat

By Bob Unruh

The Internal Revenue Service under the Obama administration – described by Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., as the “most feared government agency” – admitted Friday it targeted conservative and tea-party groups during last year’s election because of their politics.

Bachmann, a former tax attorney, told WND in an interview the IRS admission means the credibility of the 2012 election is in doubt.

Americans, she said, should be wondering whether Obamacare, which is to be enforced by the IRS, will target conservative voices opposed to President Obama with delays or denials of medical care.  Read More

New Jersey Dems Caught on Hot Mic Wanting to 'Confiscate, Confiscate, Confiscate ... Their Little Guns'

How many times have we heard establishment press members, particularly  broadcasters, insist that no one on the left side of the gun control discussion  wants to take away anyone's guns? Just a few examples include CNN's  Piers Morgan, CNN's  Carol Costello, and MSNBC's  Alex Wagner, even after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was  quoted in the New York Times before Christmas saying that "confiscation  could be an option." Currently, New York, as Hot Air's Jazz Shaw noted  in late April, actually is confiscating guns, based on "the exercise of  reasonable professional judgment" of "mental health professionals."  Read More

Administration Relying on Shoddy Benghazi Report to Absolve Itself of Blame

8:00 AM, May 12, 2013• By VICTORIA TOENSING

The White House has touted the Accountability Review Board (ARB) investigation of the Benghazi massacre as a review “led by two men of unimpeachable expertise and credibility that oversaw a process that was rigorous and unsparing.” In fact, the report was purposefully incomplete and willfully misleading.

The two men in charge of the ARB, Ambassador Thomas Pickering and Admiral Michael Mullen, a diplomat and military man respectively, have no meaningful investigative experience. Instead of letting the facts lead the direction of the investigation, the report appears designed to protect the interests of Hillary Clinton, the State Department higher ups, and the president.  Read More

Geraldo Rivera said Friday that his sources tell him the U.S. was involved in a secret mission in Libya to arm the Syrian rebels, which was the reason for the initial secrecy about the attack in Benghazi.

Evangelicals for Hamas! - Exclusive: Walid Shoebat warns of anti-Israel group speaking in U.S. mega-churches

Published: 15 hours ago - Walid Shoebat

The organization’s motto is “non-violent resistance against the Israeli Zionist occupation.” “Zionism is the obstacle to peace,” they write, and they want to “educate evangelical Christians” to “understand the Bible from a Palestinian Christian perspective,” which openly supports a “divided state” as the solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The main dynamo and sponsoring agent of these tours is Bethlehem Bible College in Bethlehem, Israel. Its Second International Conference was led by a Palestinian family, the Awads, including Sami Awad, Bishara Awad and Alex Awad. Claiming to be evangelical Baptists, the Awads were able to muster some influential figures. Several American evangelicals they recruited had taken action to bring them into American churches.   Read More

Obama admin 'speaking with a forked tongue '- Benghazi attorney: John Kerry 'spokespeople are lying'

The chief witness in Wednesday’s congressional hearings into the Benghazi terrorist attack was threatened and ostracized by the State Department for protesting the White House narrative on the deadly strike and largely ignored and disrespected by Democrats in the hearing, according to his attorney.

Former Deputy Chief of Mission Greg Hicks told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that the attack on the consulate in Benghazi was a terrorist attack and had nothing to do with a YouTube video as suggested by President Obama, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice. Hicks further testified that his superiors rejected all efforts to launch a rescue mission during the attack and effectively ruined his career when he objected to the official explanation behind the strike.   Read More

GOP sets groundwork for more Benghazi questions - Congresswoman promises, 'We're only getting started'

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration lied when it claimed the Benghazi attack was a demonstration by Muslims upset over an obscure online video portraying Muhammad as a pedophile, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told WND after Wednesday’s groundbreaking U.S. House hearing.

“The public is finally hearing that it was very clear from the very first moment that it had nothing to do with a protest or a video, that that was a complete fabrication, created by this administration, not based on any factual submission from anybody in the administration,” Gohmert said. “It was created after the fact.”   Read More

Bengazi tied to ... Boston bombing? - Common thread runs through deadly assaults

Published: 14 hours ago  -  Aaron Klein

TEL AVIV – There is a common threat that links the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attack to both the Boston Marathon bombings and the terror assault on the In Amenas gas facility in southern Algeria in January.

The thread runs through al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, one of the most deadly members of the al-Qaida conglomerate. AQAP previously attempted several major attacks within the U.S.

The group was the first al-Qaida member to comment on the Benghazi attack, releasing a statement arguing the assaults on the U.S. mission and nearby CIA annex were revenge for the death of Abu Yahya al-Libi, one of the most senior al-Qaida operatives.  Read More

My Assessment on Benghazi hearings - All the wrong questions al the wrong answers!

First we’re asking all the wrong questions.   Frankly the Weekly Standard already told us who altered the talking points.  It was the White House and State Department.  Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out and it’s done.  It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that there was a cover up.

The questions we should be asking are:

Who and why was Ambassador Stevens sent to Benghazi, one of the most dangerous cities in the world, on the anniversary of 911 with hardly any security?  Was the decision stupidity or treachery?

Why did the State Department hire elements of Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood to guard Stevens.  Why would anyone hire the enemy to watch the U.S. Ambassador to Libya while he was in Benghazi?  Part of that unholy alliance State hired for guards were elements of the February 17 Martyrs Brigade.  These Libyan militia members are closely allied to Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda and were hired by the U.S. State Department and stationed as residents inside the U.S. compound in Benghazi to protect the U.S. diplomats there.  We now know that these elements were “complicit” in the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack that killed Ambassador Stevens.  That was why the attacks were so well planned and successful.  Again we must ask stupidity or treachery.    Read More

Testimony: Elements of Militia State Dept. Hired to Station Members Inside Benghazi Compound Were ‘Complicit’ in 9/11/12 Terrorist Attack

(CNSNews.com) -- Elements of the February 17 Martyrs Brigade, the Libyan militia hired by the U.S. State Department to station members as residents inside the U.S. compound in Benghazi and to protect the U.S. diplomats there, were “complicit” in the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack that killed Amb. Chris Stevens and three other Americans, according to the testimony of Greg Hicks, who was the department's second-ranking diplomat in Libya at the time of the attack.

“Certainly, elements of that militia were complicit in the attacks,” Greg Hicks, the State Department’s former deputy chief of mission in Libya told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday. “The attackers had to make a long approach march through multiple checkpoints that were manned by February 17 militia."   Read More

Obamacare's secret plan: Destroy and 'rescue'-Exclusive: Dr. Lee Hieb explains how health bill creates disaster – on purpose

Tuesday, May 07, 2013  -  Lee Hieb, M.D.

The real name of Obamacare – a name known only to a few policy wonks and politically correct medical students – Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA. With a name like that, who could object to it? Who would be against “patient protection” or “affordable” when it comes to a government-funded program such as Medicare? Really, who would want “unaffordable,” though that’s generally what we get in government spending programs? But what does “Affordable Care” really mean?

Although Obamacare is fluid, being rewritten hourly, as of this moment, the plan is to create “accountable care organizations,” or ACOs. These will be defined by geographic areas that contain a certain number of patients. Currently, for example, a pilot ACO blankets a large area of northwestern Iowa.    Read More

More than 1,500 people have responded to say they plan to attend the event.

Here’s what Kokesh wrote in the original post [This, by the way, is a real bad idea]: 

On the morning of July 4, 2013, Independence Day, we will muster at the National Cemetery & at noon we will step off to march across the Memorial Bridge, down Independence Avenue, around the Capitol, the Supreme Court, & the White House, then peacefully return to Virginia across the Memorial Bridge. This is an act of civil disobedience, not a permitted event. We will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in submission to tyranny. We are marching to mark the high water mark of government & to turn the tide. This will be a non-violent event, unless the government chooses to make it violent. Should we meet physical resistance, we will peacefully turn back, having shown that free people are not welcome in Washington, & returning with the resolve that the politicians, bureaucrats, & enforcers of the federal government will not be welcome in the land of the free.   Read More
