Napolitano: Impeachment Only Way to Stop Obama's Executive Actions Thursday, 13 Feb 2014 06:13 PM By Greg Richter The only way to stop President Barack Obama from nullifying duly enacted laws is impeachment, says Judge Andrew Napolitano. The problem is, neither Congress nor the American public have the guts for it. "The president is doing the opposite of what he was elected to do," Napolitano said Thursday on Fox News Channel's "Your World with Neil Cavuto." Napolitano is a former New Jersey Superior Court judge and a Fox News legal analyst. Urgent: Do You Approve Or Disapprove of President Obama's Job Performance? Vote Now in Urgent Poll When Obama ...

Dr. Ben Carson Blasts 'Gestapo' IRS Tactics Monday, 10 Feb 2014 06:57 PM By David A. Patten Dr. Benjamin Carson, the former director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital who is considered a possible GOP contender for the 2016 GOP nomination, told Newsmax TV on Monday that he and his family have been personally targeted by the IRS in retribution for his frank critique of President Obama’s policies at the February 2013 National Prayer Breakfast. Carson said audits and other harassment began in May or June of 2013 and gradually expanded to include family members, associates, and his charitable endeavors. "I’ve been quite I would say astonished at the ...

Mary Matalin: Hillary Won't Even Run Saturday, 08 Feb 2014 03:10 PM By Sandy Fitzgerald The wide variety of potential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination boils down to one question in many quarters — which one can beat Hillary Clinton? But to at least one powerful Republican consultant, Mary Matalin, the "Hillary" question is pointless. "Hillary Clinton’s lead is ephemeral," Matalin told Politico Magazine. "As soon as she gets in, if she gets in, she will be challenged and it will evaporate. Just the nature of the beast. I predict she doesn’t run." Matalin, who is married to former Clinton adviser James Carville, ...

Gingrich to Newsmax: Obama Makes Boehner's Job 10 Times Harder Friday, 07 Feb 2014 06:03 PM By Todd Beamon Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told Newsmax on Friday that President Barack Obama has made John Boehner's job "10 times harder than my job was in the 1990s." "I'm very sympathetic to John Boehner because I was fortunate," Gingrich, who served as GOP speaker from 1995 to 1999, told John Bachman in an exclusive interview on "America's Forum" on Newsmax TV. "I was fortunate to have Bill Clinton as a partner, where we could fight in the morning and then work out something in the afternoon. "My sense is that, with Obama, ...
The Continuing Al-Qaeda Threat

Appearing last week before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified that he could not say the threat from al-Qaeda is any less today than it was ten years ago. It was a shocking admission. Does he mean that the trillions of dollars spent fighting the war on terrorism have resulted in no gains? That those who urged us to give up some of our liberties to gain security have, as Benjamin Franklin warned, lost both? There may be reasons Director Clapper would want us to believe that the threat from al-Qaeda is as strong as ever. An entire industry has arisen from the government’s war on terror, and for both the government sector and the ...

As House Republicans prepare to sell out the country on immigration this week, Phyllis Schlafly has produced a stunning report on how immigration is changing the country. The report is still embargoed, but someone slipped me a copy, and it's too important to wait. Leave aside the harm cheap labor being dumped on the country does to the millions of unemployed Americans. What does it mean for the Republican Party? Citing surveys from the Pew Research Center, the Pew Hispanic Center, Gallup, NBC News, Harris polling, the Annenberg Policy Center, Latino Decisions, the Center for Immigration Studies and the Hudson Institute, Schlafly's report overwhelmingly demonstrates that merely ...
After BuzzFeed’s “killing Snowden” story, three unanswered questions
Post Date: 2014-01-28 07:30:06 by Ada

As the incendiary quotes from anonymous government sources Buzz-fed their way across the Internet over the weekend, many were outraged at the sheer hubris of it all. As TechDirt’s Mike Masnick notes, the spectacle of NSA and Pentagon officials appearing to making death threats against Edward Snowden – and making them for publication – suggests not just a few zealots who’ve watched too many spy movies, but a truly corrupted and lawless ideology pervading the national security state. On Twitter, by email, and in the comments section of my Pando piece aiming to contextualize Buzzfeed’s original report, some Obama administration defenders brushed all of this off by ...
We Win the NY Times Prize

The New York Times, whistling past the financial graveyard, paused over the weekend to smear the Mises Institute, Ron Paul, our other scholars, hardcore libertarianism, and me. Why? Because our ideas and our youth movement are gaining real traction. It is in effect a compliment. They have never faced opposition like ours before, and Ron Paul’s tremendous resonance with young people has only made things worse from the Times’s point of view. The Times wants opponents who play the game, who accept the presuppositions of the regime, and who are willing to confine themselves to the narrow range of debate to which the Times would prefer to confine the American people. The purpose of ...
ALMOST EVERYTHING IN “DR. STRANGELOVE” WAS TRUE

This month marks the fiftieth anniversary of Stanley Kubrick’s black comedy about nuclear weapons, “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” Released on January 29, 1964, the film caused a good deal of controversy. Its plot suggested that a mentally deranged American general could order a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, without consulting the President. One reviewer described the film as “dangerous … an evil thing about an evil thing.” Another compared it to Soviet propaganda. Although “Strangelove” was clearly a farce, with the comedian Peter Sellers playing three roles, it was criticized for being implausible. An ...

Rebel Delegates Scramble to Be Declared New Governing Body Reflecting how much the Geneva II “peace” conference has become about the United States dictating terms, Secretary of State John Kerry today told delegates at the talks that they have only “one option” to consider, and that’s the creation of a new government, and one that cannot allow President Bashar Assad’s involvement in any way. Though as recently as early last week Kerry was suggesting the talks might involve ceasefires and the like, in recent days he hasn’t presented the conference’s one and only goal as rubber stamping a new American-backed regime. That suits the Syrian National ...
Malicious Syria Bashing

Malicious Syria Bashing by Stephen Lendman It's longstanding. It began long before Obama's war erupted. It was nearly three years ago. Releasing a new report on Syria was strategically timed. It's out two days before sham peace talks begin in Montreux, Switzerland. It's filled with spurious accusations. London's Guardian discussed them. "Syrian regime document trove shows evidence of 'industrial scale' killing of detainees," it headlined. Syrian officials face potential war crimes charges, it said. A so-called "huge cache of 'evidence' (was) smuggled out of the country." "It show(ed) the 'systematic killing' of about ...

'The most destructive, dangerous president we've ever had' WASHINGTON — Worse than Richard Nixon. An unprecedented abuse of powers. The most un-American president in the nation’s history. President Richard Nixon Nat Hentoff does not think much of President Obama. And now, the famous journalist says it is time to begin looking into impeachment. Hentoff sees the biggest problem as Obama’s penchant to rule by executive order when he can’t convince Congress to do things his way. The issue jumped back into the headlines last week when, just before his first Cabinet meeting of 2014, Obama said, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone … and I ...
Warfare, Welfare, and Wonder Woman — How Congress Spends Your Money

Supporters of warfare, welfare, and Wonder Woman cheered last week as Congress passed a one trillion dollar “omnibus” appropriation bill. This legislation funds the operations of government for the remainder of the fiscal year. Wonder Woman fans can cheer that buried in the bill was a $10,000 grant for a theater program to explore the comic book heroine. That is just one of the many outrageous projects buried in this 1,582 page bill. The legislation gives the Department of Education more money to continue nationalizing education via “common core.” Also, despite new evidence of Obamacare’s failure emerging on an almost daily basis, the Omnibus bill does nothing to ...

A Tipping Point for Liberty Against Leviathan by Adam Dick Continuing revelations of the extensive scope of the U.S. government's mass spying program, piled on top of decades of foreign intervention and liberty suppression at home, can lead Americans to question if they should give up their work for peace and liberty. Nevertheless, there is reason for hope that pursuing this work will yield success. Speaking with host Neil Cavuto on Fox Business, Ron Paul Institute (RPI) Advisory Board Member Andrew Napolitano warns that the U.S. government has established a mass spying program so invasive that "we are close to a generation of Americans who will not even know what privacy means ...

Stanley Fischer's record of reckless neoliberal reforms should sink his appointment.

The Five Biggest Myths About Income Inequality by John Goodman "Inequality is the defining challenge of our time," according to President Obama. It's certainly the topic of the day for Paul Krugman, Joe Stiglitz and a whole raft of liberal pundits. But have you noticed that hardly anyone else is talking about it? When is the last time you heard a shoeshine person or a taxi cab driver complain about inequality? For most people, having a lot of rich people around is good for business. But if average folks are not complaining should they be? Unfortunately, a lot of what passes as serious commentary is actually myth. What follows are five examples. Myth No 1: Income for the ...

Rand Paul, R-Ky., would like to see him get a sentence less than death or life in prison.

Christie Won't Make the Conservative Argument By Jon Dougherty on December 29, 2013 The Sunday Read A new CNN poll has New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D) tied in a head-to-head 2016 presidential match-up. According to The Hill, that’s the third national poll this month to show Christie and Clinton tied. The third. And in each, pollsters are sure to mention that Christie is the only Republican who can beat Hillary in 2016, and that conservative alternatives to Christie, in particular, don't have a snowball's chance. Are you, like me, getting the feeling that, perhaps, our presidential choices have already been ...

And so I’m wondering: have we had an effect on the national discourse? I think the answer to that question is indubitably yes, although it’s hard to measure such things because so many other factors, entirely independent of us, have worked in tandem with our ongoing campaign: Ron Paul’s campaigns for the presidency, public ...

Obamacare: A Parasite Intent on Killing Its Host by Ron Paul As the health care debate rages on, there is one reality that even the proponents of this hostile takeover of health care by government cannot ignore -- and that is money. The government simply does not have the money for a new, expansive, public health care plan. The country is in a deep recession. The last thing we need is for government to increase and expand taxes to pay for another damaging, wasteful program. Foreigners are becoming less enthusiastic about buying our debt, and creating another open-ended welfare program when we cannot pay for what is already in place will not help. Champions of socialized medicine want to ...

Dismantling the Fourth Branch of Government By Jon Dougherty on December 22, 2013 The Sunday Read President Obama's plans for John Podesta demonstrates once again how the Executive Branch uses the massive federal bureaucracy to usurp power and unconstitutionally expand the power of the presidency. Every president since the founding of the country has appointed political friends and allies to high office. That much isn’t news. But President Obama’s hiring of longtime lobbyist and former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta is particularly disturbing not simply because of the reason why he was hired, but also because of the constitutionally unbalanced nature of American ...
