• (UPDATED) ‘Stunner’: Congressman Claims AP Phone Scandal Involved House of Reps. ‘Cloakroom’

  May 16, 2013 at 5:13am

  In reply to E.Z. Las Vegas.

  PS:

  I am not psychic. I saw the House of Representatives phone records were listed in a Fox story on the 20 lines that were investigated. The story was when the scandal initially broke.

  Congress may not care about us, or a dead Ambassador, or much else for that matter. But when their OWN privacy is violated, I am pretty sure that they will be more than a little concerned. That is why this story will now have legs, and I would be surprised if it just disappears off the radar screen.

  Then, of course there is the minor Constitutional question, if that dirty old rag means anything anymore.

• (UPDATED) ‘Stunner’: Congressman Claims AP Phone Scandal Involved House of Reps. ‘Cloakroom’

  I had sent an email to Doc Thompson on this very subject when it came to my attention on March 14th at 3:32 am…

  It read…

  Did you notice that one of the phone lines tapped by the Justice Department was
  the House of Representatives beat reporter?
  Might there not be some separation of powers questions about Holder tapping
  conversations of House members ans staffers with the AP beat reporter?

  NO one seems to be asking this question….

  Now they finally are. It begins.

• ‘No Possible Justification’: Associated Press Livid After DOJ Secretly Obtains 2 Months of Its Phone Records

  May 13, 2013 at 7:42pm

  From Fox news…
  …and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery,

  Do you suppose that John Boehner might be concerned that Eric Holder was tapping conversations of he and his staff with Associated Press Reporters? What POSSIBLE bearing could such a tap have on underwear bombing investigations?

  John Boehner, there is a chance that this Justice Department is out to get you and your staff, as well as your colleagues and their staff, Now what are you going to do about it? It is YOUR HOUSE that is being watched!

• Families of Slain SEAL Team 6 Members Are Making Serious Allegations Against the Government

  In reply to pwatkins.

  It was a very weird interview. Maybe he is depressed, or in grief, or was just emotionally drained by the 8 hours of hearings today,
  Or maybe he was following Glenn’s advice from days gone by “there are things I believe that I shall never say.” Or maybe he has some knowledge of something that he didn’t want to accidentally divulge.
  Whatever is going on, this is definitely not the type of interview we are used to seeing from Mr. Woods.

• Families of Slain SEAL Team 6 Members Are Making Serious Allegations Against the Government

  In reply to Cromshand4128.

  I’m not sure, because officially Seal Team Six doesn’t even exist, but I think that there are more than 25 of them. It is even possible that there is a Seal Team Five that can be promoted, or a Seal Team Seven, that we will never know about.

  With that having been said, there are some very weird things about this case. Like why did this story not get huge press coverage when it happened? Why were 25 Seal Team Six members on the same chopper…when even the Bin Laden raid used multiple helicopters?

  Finally, I find it curious that the story indicated that the helicopter was shot down by the Taliban…usually, when we read stories of crashes in that part of the world, they are “weather”, or “mechanical failure” or “pilot error” so as to avoid providing encouragement to the enemy.

  Instead, we gave a shout out to the Taliban, not only telling them they shot down a US helicopter, but a plum of a target at that. VERY interesting…..almost sending them a message that we are very aware that they knew precisely who they were killing.

  You don’t tug on Superman’s cape. you don’t spit into the wind, you don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you DON’T……
  Sell out people who gather intelligence, conduct sophisticated clandestine military operations, and topple governments for a living.

  If the CIA, the Secret Service, Special Forces, and Pentagon brass ever become convinced that they are being systematically neutralized by the government they serve, and that the press and the Congress does not have their back, then we may find out just how accurate all those spy novels and movies can be in real life.

  I pray that day never happens. but in the shadowy world these folks live in, appearance is often reality, and in the words of Dr. Johnny Fever of WKRP in Cincinnati, “When the world is out to get you, paranoia is just sound thinking.”

• Biden Wants Pastors, Rabbis and Nuns to Tell Their Flocks: Enacting More Gun Control Is the Moral Thing to Do

  May 7, 2013 at 4:18pm

  A brief history lesson:

  I was taught that the Founding Fathers were so disgusted by the Church of England (which I understand was created to allow Henry the VIII to get rid of his wives, one way or the other), that they created the first amendment in which Congress shall make no law establishing a religion, nor prohibiting the FREE EXERCISE thereof.

  Their clear intent was the separation of STATE FROM CHURCH. Leave it to progressives to get it exactly opposite, and then ignore both views.

  In addition, I’m sure he who shall not be named meant to say “representative republic” rather than democracy.

• Bill Maher: It’s ‘Ridiculous,’ ‘Quaint’ & ‘Nonsensical’ to Think 2nd Amendment Can Prevent Tyranny

  May 4, 2013 at 5:15pm

  Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

  And all of those French and Warsaw Ghetto reistance fighters should have just peacefully gone to the gas chamber like good little sheeple, rather than inconvenience their Nazi overlords.

  Also, we need to give this country back to Britain, Spain, France and Mexico.

  By the way Bill, how do you plan to protect your family, and your stuff when the organic fertilizer contacts the rotary oscillator?

• Curbing Corruption Begins With Breaking the Political Class and Term Limits

  May 1, 2013 at 4:57pm

  You have to term limit the staffs, because they run everything already, and if you put in a bunch of amateur politicians who can’t even find the restrooms on Capitol Hill, that will get MUCH MUCH worse.

  I want MORE accountability from the Congress, not a lot LESS. And less is what you get under most term limit plans.
