This is a day to remember the victims of the horrific shootings at a Safeway in Tucson, Arizona exactly one year ago today; honor the heroes who intervened that day; and wish Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords well on her continued recovery. R.I.P.: Judge John Roll, 63. Dorothy Morris, 76. Dorwin Stoddard, 76. Christina Greene, 9. [...]

Photoshop source: Ed Driscoll The Year in Obama Scandals — and Scandal Deniers by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 With 2011 drawing to a close, it is time to account. As an early-and-often chronicler of Chicago-on-the-Potomac, I am amazed at the stubborn and clingy persistence of President Barack Obama’s snowblowers in the media. See [...]

The ultimate tribute to murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry would be to evict Eric Holder and Barack Obama from Washington. Until then, this is a nice memorial from the House. Via GOP Rep. Darrell Issa: ISSA STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF BRIAN A. TERRY MEMORIAL ACT FROM HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WASHINGTON. D.C. – Representative Darrell [...]

Since this blog was founded in 2005 and before that, since the publication of Invasion in 2002, I’ve covered the blood-boiling deaths of law enforcement and border security officials who put their lives on the front lines for us — only to lose them in part because of government negligence, malfeasance, and refusal to do [...]

Holder, Blago, Richardson: Triangle of Sleaze by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 It was a rough week for the corruptocracy. White House officials better ho-ho-hold on tight because the sleigh ride isn’t going to get any smoother. On Wednesday, disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, D-Ill., received a 14-year prison sentence for scheming to sell [...]

News breaking on Twitter. Suspect description here: Suspect described as white male, gray sweat pants, gray hat w/neon green brim, maroon hoodie and backpack. On foot towards McComas.

Busy day in Washington today. If you’re not near a TV, you can watch the Eric Holder live testimony re. Fast and Furious and other matters here. Here’s how C-SPAN previews: Attorney General Eric Holder testifies before the House Judiciary Committee today about when he first became aware of the tactics used by the ATF’s [...]

The Accountability Charade by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 You can’t spell “accountability” without “A,” “C” and “T.” But in Washington, government officials routinely get away with “taking personal responsibility” by mouthing empty words devoid of action. Heads nod in collective agreement that mistakes were made. But heads never roll. The Obama administration has [...]

Attorney General Eric Holder’s status as the most shameless corruptocrat in the Obama administration has now been RE-confirmed. Fox News (h/t Christian Adams) reports on the DOJ’s cynical exploitation of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and his family that will leave you speechless (or using the most profane speech in your vocabulary): The Terrys watched [...]

Scroll down for latest updates… The Great Stonewall of Obama by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 The White House laments that America hasn’t built enough massive government infrastructure projects. Nonsense. At the rate it’s growing, the Great Stonewall of Obama may soon be the second largest manmade object visible from outer space. While many [...]

What he knew and when. Forget the circus. Here’s the real scandal. Attorney General Eric Holder is on the hot seat this morning at the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sen. Charles Grassley is pressing Holder on continued Fast and Furious stonewalling and lies. Holder has just dismissed as a “distraction” the scrutiny of his false testimony [...]

**Written by Doug Powers This should be interesting: CBS News has learned Attorney General Eric Holder has agreed to appear before the House Judiciary Committee regarding “Fast and Furious.” The hearing will take place Dec. 8th. Judiciary Committee member and head of the House Oversight Committee Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) had requested that Holder appear, [...]

Nope, you are not off the hook, AG Eric Holder. Not by a long shot. No way in hell. GOP Rep. Darrell Issa and Sen. Charles Grassley are back with a new letter demanding more information about the murder of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata and the tactics used while conducting surveillance on [...]

We first mentioned blog reports on a Project GrenadeWalker scandal last month. (See here). CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson is out with a new report on grenades crossing the border to Mexico. Government officials shrugged at the breaches because they deemed grenades “novelty items.” Details: CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson, who has reported on this [...]

Scroll down for updates…subpoena issued today… Nope. Eric Holder’s dodging and diversionary tactics yesterday didn’t work. Here’s the vid of him running away from Fast and Furious questions yesterday: The questions, lawsuits, and public outrage and frustration over Fast and Furious continue to grow despite Holder’s best efforts to change the subject. First up, new [...]

Question the timing. You betcha.

Eric Holder is on the hot seat, and GOP Rep. Darrell Issa’s cranking up the temperature. Sent this morning: WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder responding to his letter of October 7. The text of Chairman Issa’s letter to [...]

The other night on Hannity, I said we need an “Occupy Justice” campaign to protest the deadly corruption and incompetence that have infested our Justice Department from Day One of the Obama administration (vid here). A friend on Twitter wrote back that what we really need is a “Liberate Justice” movement to free Americans of [...]

President Obama will meet the press at 11am Eastern to peddle his “jobs” bill again. Yes, I hope the reporters bombard him with questions about Solyndra, LightSquared, the green jobs racket, and the union slush funds masquerading as economic recovery. But with so much Fast and Felonious news breaking, this is a prime opportunity to [...]

Three are dead. Seven are wounded, some in critical condition. Keep the victims and their families in your prayers. After going on a bloody early morning rampage in Cupertino, Calif., Shareef Allman is still on the loose. His friends and colleagues can’t believe their “peaceful” community activist friend would do such a thing. Time for [...]

Question: Why does Eric Holder still have a job? Answer: Because he has thrived on incompetence, stonewalling, and corruption his entire career. Why would the outcome of Fast and Furious be any different than all the rest of the scandals that make up his long track record of putting political interests of the public interest [...]

Bloodier and bloodier it gets. America, please pay attention. This is the deadliest, most dangerous scandal of the scandal-plagued Obama administration. GOP investigators and House and Senate watchdogs are doing all they can. Whistleblowers inside ATF and gun shop dealers across the country have risked their lives and livelihoods to tell the truth. They need [...]

In case you missed it — and believe me, the Department of Injustice is hoping you missed it on this 9/11 memorial weekend — yet another violent crime (perpetrated by a suspected illegal alien )has been linked to Obama Fast and Furious guns. Remember: GOP investigators have been demanding full disclosure from the DOJ on [...]

The truth is still seeping out, despite Team Obama’s best efforts to cover up and shut up the Fast and Furious whistle-blowers. Last week, we noted the latest evidence that the scandal went straight to the top and chronicled the desperate dance of the lemons. In discussing the quiet resignation of U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke [...]

We’ve heard from day one of this scandal that it went straight to the top. We’ve heard nothing but denials. Now, that there’s e-mail proof that it did, the White House insists they knew nuttin’, absolutely nuttin’, about how bad Fast and Furious was. The Los Angeles Times reports today (h/t William Amos): Newly obtained [...]

No one wants to talk about long-standing, brown-black tensions in southern California and elsewhere. When I do, I’m called a RAAAAACIST and accused of “trying to pit the Latinos against the African-American people.” Law-abiding victims of such violence know the truth, though. Ask the family of Jamiel Shaw. Or Cheryl Green or Shatavia Anderson. Today’s [...]

My column today keys off yesterday’s post on the “reassignment” of acting ATF director Kenneth Melson and the re-shuffling of several other Fast and Furious-entangled bureaucrats. The White House hopes the moves will quell spreading outrage over the deadly scandal. Not bloody likely. David Codrea, one of the bloggers who led breakthrough reporting on Fast [...]

Maybe it’s time to start a Jackboot Watch feature. We’ve got DOJ lawyers going after Gibson guitars. There’s the ongoing Fast and Furious debacle. Add the eco-nitwit rogues at the Interior Department. Then there’s the War on Lemonade Stands. And now, we’ve got the U.S. Attorney in Idaho filing federal charges against Jeremy Hill, a [...]
