Media Blackout: GAO Says Obama's Welfare Waivers Illegal.
THe General Accounting Office has announced that Obama’s welfare waivers, which end the work requirement set up during the Clinton administration, are illegal.
This news will be hidden from the public which hasn’t figured out that the BOOB TUBE and the other mainstream media are not the places to get information.
Congress was supposed to be involved in any changes in the welfare requirements. It’s Budgetary!
The House oversight committee is throwing the Fast and Furious issue, and Eric Holder’s obstruction of justice to the federal court system.
Holder has been stonewalling and withholding documents which have been subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee for months and months, as he tries to prevent discovery of his and the president’s complicity with the very illegal, Fast and Furious, gunrunning operation.
Over the weekend, Issa tweeted that he will sue Eric Holder for the information.
This ought to give Republicans something to talk about during the campaign season.
Listen to Rep.Mike Kelly exhorting Congress to address the cost of big government. You’ll want to give him a standing ovation. Let’s hope he stays on target.
The lead of Rep. Charlie Rangel over Adriano Espaillat has narrowed to 802 votes in the Manhattan-Bronx 13th district Democrat Primary. Meanwhile, a report that Latino/Dominican voters were turned away at polls, with a claim that their names were not on voting rolls, and that there was inadequate translation has led to a request for a federal investigation.
House panel votes 23-17 to place Holder in contempt of Congress – TheHill.com.
As expected, the 17 Dems of the house committee supported Holder, but the majority of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is sending the vote to place Holder in contempt of Congress to the full body of the house.
Obama is channeling Nixon, and after denying any knowledge of Fast and Furious, has now claimed executive privilege to conceal the details of the gun running operation.
Here’s Obama speaking against Bush’s executive privilege with respect to his firing of U.S. district attorneys.
NOW Obama invokes executive privilege to withhold fast and furious documents, the contents of which he previously claimed to have no knowledge.
House committee schedules contempt vote against Holder – Political Hotsheet – CBS News.
Pharmer has been waiting a long time for the House to begin proceedings against Attorney General Eric Holder, for his refusal to cooperate with their investigation of the gun running of the Fast and Furious operation in Mexico. Possibly Holder’s ridiculous claim, that emails mentioning Fast and Furious were not about Fast and Furious, was the tipping point.
The U.S. government sent guns to Mexico in order to raise controversy about their use by drug cartels, and use this as an excuse to undermine our Second Amendment rights.
The executive branch of government has assisted the killings by Mexican drug cartels in order to whip up antipathy towards American gun owners.
Congressional action against Eric Holder is long overdue.
Happy Weinerversary: The Lessons of WeinerGate.
Memorial Day is a more solemn type of holiday, but Congressman Anthony Weiner provided us with a circus sideshow over this holiday weekend in 2011.
Dana Loesch recounts the days during which the conservative blogosphere overwhelmed the hush efforts by the main stream media, and eventually propelled one N.Y. Democrat Congressman, Anthony Weiner out of office, for showing his namesake to young ladies on yfrog social media.
The main point has not the particulars of Weiner’s very stupid actions, but a demonstration that the New Media of online bloggers and real journalists is fully capable of overwhelming the tired OLD Media. Collectively, all of us can fulfill the watchdog function which is protected in the First Amendment. This is what Andrew Breitbart showed us.
Breitbart is here.

Anthony Weiner’s wife Huma Abedin gives birth to a baby boy, Jordan Zain Weiner – NYPOST.com.
On Dec 21, “sparkling wonder” Jordan Zain Weiner was born to former Congressman Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma.
Anthony (of the famous twittered photos- reminiscent of his surname) had better treat this kid like gold……. He owes him EVERYTHING.
The Stop Online Piracy Act, SOPA, by Lamar Smith as lead author, a Republican who needs a new job, is so bad that even Google doesn’t want it. They’re already pretty used to censorship. Pro-lifers are able to notice the disappearing content. Certain copyright owners such as those in Hollywood, would stand to benefit from SOPA, and have given us a new reason for boycotting them.
Congress is considering a bill which would give copyright owners and the agency that loves themthe ability to have whole websites deprived of advertisers and shot down due to potential infringement on just one page.
Compliance and continued operation would be impossible for sites which are driven by user content. Not only would the cost of policing be prohibitive, no one would want to go there anymore.
Jimmy Wales is contemplating a total Blackout of Wikipedia in protest over SOPA, which could inconvenience a huge number of people, and perhaps generate some email to Congress.
We could save the time, cost and inconvenience of proving the law to be unconstitutional by not allowing it to be passed in the first place. < < Just click and write your Congressman and tell him in flowery language that SOPA sux.
