THE ULTIMATE TIMELINE: The Diabolical "Fast and Furious" Scandal

By Renee Nal

Below is a painstakingly detailed timeline surrounding the events and the people involved in the gun-walking program which leaves this author with absolutely no doubt that the purpose of the Operation was to justify a so-called “assault weapons ban.”

In the wake of the revelation that Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was in possession of a .50-caliber rifle (that can “take down a helicopter“), a reminder is in order about the true nature of Operation Fast and Furious.

A PRICE ON EVERY AMERICAN'S HEAD: Concerns Mount Obama Paid $1.7 Billion in Ransom to Iran

By The Tower

There are growing concerns that the $1.7 billion payment the United States released to Iran last week amounted to a ransom for the freedom of American hostages held by the Islamic Republic, The Wall Street Journal reported (Google link) Thursday.

According to the Journal, the money was wired to Tehran at around the same time that the regime allowed thee American captives– Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, Marine veteran Amir Hekmati, and Cristian pastor Saeed Abedini– to depart the country on a Swiss air force jet. Two other Americans were also freed, though one chose to stay in Iran. In exchange, the U.S. released seven Iranians charged or convicted for smuggling prohibited items to Iran and other crimes. Washington also agreed not to pursue 14 other Iranians, including two wanted for transporting troops and weapons to Syria in support of dictator Bashar al-Assad.

IRS WIPES ANOTHER HARD DRIVE: Sackless GOP Leaders Issue Sternly Worded Memo in Response

By Kathryn Watson

Leading members of Congress are ripping IRS officials for erasing a computer hard drive after a federal judge ordered it to be preserved.

“The destruction of evidence subject to preservation orders and subpoenas has been an ongoing problem under your leadership at the IRS,” Committee on House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz and Rep. Jim Jordan, wrote in a letter to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen late Thursday.

PARANOID: Fear, hate and conspiracy theories have destroyed Hillary Clinton’s campaign

By Daniel Greenfield

Hillary Clinton’s political future is caught between an old hippie and the FBI.

Under fire, her collapsing campaign is retreating into paranoia and conspiracy theories. The Intelligence Community Inspector General, an Obama appointee, is being accused of conspiring with Republicans. The rise of Bernie Sanders is being attributed to “dark money” and political enemies by Clintonworld.

Marco Rubio Says He Won't Reveal His Position on ObamaTrade Until After the Primaries

By Julia Hahn

With the Iowa caucus less than two weeks away, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is refusing to answer questions about how he would vote on the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal until after voters have gone to the polls.

Rubio’s decision to conceal his position from voters comes after he previously declared that TPP would be a foundational “pillar” of his hoped-for presidency if elected.

According to a report from the Tampa Bay Times, Rubio told reporters on Jan. 7 that he will not reveal his position on the very trade deal he voted to fast-track until May 18th— two months after Super Tuesday.

OBAMA ARMED EL CHAPO WITH .50 CAL: Media Ignore Yet Another Fast and Furious Outrage

By Roger Aronoff

The liberal media avoid reporting on President Obama’s many scandals at any cost, and Fast and Furious is no exception. Despite the media’s studied avoidance of these scandals, their impact continues. When Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents discovered that a weapon from Fast and Furious was found in Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s Mexican hideout, there was virtual silence from the mainstream media.

HAD THEY JUST READ MY BLOG IN 2014: Jeb Bush's Donors Could Have Saved $150 Million or More!

Who could've predicted the complete and utter collapse of Jeb Bush's campaign?

Oh, wait, I did -- back in 2014.

But, first, there's this news out of the Bush aeroplane with engines aflame, its wings off and is now auguring into the tarmac at 400 mph:

The blame game does not go public until the end is near and the blame game is suddenly going very public with Team Bush.

An open letter to Fareed Zakaria from The People's Cube

By The People's Cube

Fareed Zakaria can dish it out but can't take it

CNN host Fareed Zakaria is now calling to censor social media because he was offended by The People's Cube satire about his writings. Without mentioning that our satire was a hyperbolic buildup on his own recent writings, Zakaria cries for government protection of his hurt feelings, making it clear that he can dish it out but can't take it. Taste your own medicine, Fareed.

WHERE IS THE INDICTMENT???

By Karl Denninger

If anyone else had done any of what Hillary has done, they'd already be in the dock and probably already have had their trial.  They certainly wouldn't be running for President.

Fox News exclusively obtained the text of the unclassified letter, sent Jan. 14 from Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III. It laid out the findings of a recent comprehensive review by intelligence agencies that identified "several dozen" additional classified emails -- including specific intelligence known as "special access programs" (SAP).

That is far more-serious than "garden-variety" classified data.

NEW HILLARY EMAILS CONFIRM: Democrats to Nominate First Openly Socialist Presidential Candidate

About two weeks ago, I wrote that we should "Stick a fork in Hillary, because she's done."

In that particular case, emails revealed that then-Secretary of State Clinton had instructed aides to strip classification headers from secure documents and send them over insecure channels. Which, by my count, was felony #336 committed by Ms. Clinton and her aides, who conspired to co-mingle State Department, Clinton Foundation transactions, and related criminal activity using a private email server that operated outside public scrutiny.

Today's news really does mean the demise of Clinton's campaign. The intelligence community's inspector general reported to Congress that he "had discovered “several dozen” classified emails, including messages containing what’s known as 'special access programs' (SAP) information":

HONEST DON: "Trump Lies About 2000 Call for Assault Weapons Ban" --Robert Farago

The, eh, more passionate Trump supporters are alive and well and living in the comments section of this blog, buzzing with conspiracy theories and stories of Cruz's changes in policy positions. That's fine. As I've said countless times before, I would support Donald Trump in the general against a Democrat, because I'd support Dennis Rodman or Porky Pig against a Democrat.

With that said, any policy position Ted Cruz has ever altered pales in comparison with Mr. Trump's earlier support of assault weapons bans, extended waiting periods to purchase firearms, partial-birth abortions, and gay marriage. Trump's acolytes insist that the year 2000 was a very long time ago. So let's ignore the fact that Trump endorsed an open Communist -- Bill DeBlasio -- for mayor of New York in 2013, stating that he's a "smart guy" who will be "a good mayor". No, let's skip that point for the moment.

Instead, let's reflect upon Mr. Trump's more recent willingness to openly lie to the firearms media about his past support for restrictions on the Second Amendment. As The Truth About Guns' Robert Farago noted a few months ago:

GRAVITAS: Can Mr. Trump’s Supporters Help Me Understand His 24-hour, 180˚ Turnabout Over the Weekend?

After months of complimenting his rival for the GOP nomination, Senator Ted Cruz, Donald Trump engaged in a weekend of diatribes, insults and name-calling that was truly and spectacularly bizarre:

If you are like most ordinary Americans, you probably spent the weekend watching the NFL playoffs, or spending time with your family, or trying to avoid the freezing cold that gripped most of the country. You know, anything other than watching the Democrats “debate” or the political nonsense on Twitter and the cable shows.

Which is regrettable, because people who were paying attention finally got to see what The Donald is like...

Is This the Most Terrifying Photo of 2015?

Aside from a terrific economy, the next president of the United States will inherit a delightful global security landscape.

Red China is building islands in the Pacific and threatening its neighbors. Russia annexed Crimea and portions of Ukraine after Hillary's infamous "Reset" stunningly failed to strike a chord with Vladimir Putin.

"SLAVE LABOR": Hillary Confidante Cheryl Mills Pushes Manufacturing in Ghana with its 23¢ Minimum Wage

By Richard Pollock

Cheryl D. Mills, long-time friend and confidant of Bill and Hillary Clinton, is promoting a 23 cents-an-hour wage in the West African nation of Ghana to lure textile and apparel industry companies to invest there even as the former secretary of state advocates a $15-an-hour “livable wage” here.

Mills’ newly formed firm, the BlackIvy Group, LLC., makes the pitch with a powerpoint presentation that was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Return to Dachau

By Baron Bodissey

After seventy years, a camp has been opened again at Dachau.

But it’s not the kind of camp that was there in 1943. No, not at all.

Now the German staff wait on the Untermenschen who have been welcomed into Germany. They cater to their every need and never punish them, no matter the seriousness of the crime. Now the residents of the camp can spend their time watching TV, and may eat as many meals as they want. Now the guards at the camp are required to act as the servants of the “refugees”.

CRUZ TAKES THE HIGH ROAD: Trump Booed in South Carolina After Caustic Insults of Texas Senator

By Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Donald Trump had a literal meltdown on Twitter issuing a bizarre series of personal insults, screeds, and disjointed attacks on Ted Cruz. I guess the honeymoon is over. Too bad, they would have gone well together. Ted Cruz mocked him for it. His retort was epic:

AWESOME: After Obama Pays Nearly $2 Billion in Ransom to Iran, 3 More Americans Reportedly Kidnapped

Barack Obama will pay Iran $1.7 billion in a "settlement" that frees several of the many American hostages Iran is illegally holding.

Obama's statement suggests that the settlement, most of which is interest, is tied to the latest hostage release... "With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well." It sounds a lot like the hostage releases were linked to the amount of money Obama is giving Iran. Which wouldn't be surprising.

This is on top of all the other sanctions relief Iran will be getting.

UNEXPECTEDLY: GOPe Elites Sucking Up to Donald Trump In Last-Ditch Effort to Stop Ted Cruz

I like Donald Trump and would support him for president if he were the nominee. Even with another northeastern liberal Republican -- Scott Brown, who Trump has floated as a VP candidate -- on the ticket.

But my clear favorite is Ted Cruz, because he's the one Constitutional conservative who actually goes to war for what he believes. In 2013, he single handedly shut down the government in an effort to defund Obamacare (a promise that Mitch McConnell made to voters in Kentucky that he quickly abandoned). He called out his own party's leader on the Senate floor for lying to conservatives. He's meant what he's said and he's said what he meant, something precious few politicians ever do.

What does Donald Trump actually stand for? What do we call the Trump movement? Does it have successors as Cruz appears to be to Reagan?

Given a choice between Cruz and Trump, it would appear the GOP establishment has figured it can work with the Donald. So says the Washington Post and many others:

While No One Was Watching, Obama Took Control of the Courts

By Sara Noble

The New York Times wrote in 2014, “Democrats have reversed the partisan imbalance on the federal appeals courts that long favored conservatives, a little-noticed shift with far-reaching consequences for the law and President Obama’s legacy.”

It didn’t favor conservatives but there was a dramatic shift to the far left.

The appellate is under the control of leftists and ACLU types. They own the Court of Appeals.

As he has done by ignoring Congress and the Supreme Court of the United States, Obama has been eliminating voices not his own. He has been erasing the Separation of Powers and our Constitution. He has been obliterating states rights.The judicial branch was also on the agenda.

RAD: Rubio Launched Obama’s Gang Of Eight Immigration Surge a Day After Boston Bombing, Defying Pleas To Stop

By Julia Hahn

In a remarkable exchange during Thursday’s Republican presidential debate, Fox Business moderator Maria Bartiromo defied establishment media norms by challenging Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) about his desire to dramatically increase the nation’s already record-high rate of green card dispensations.

The donor-class favorite seemed dumbstruck by Bartiromo’s direct question, dodging it completely. Rubio declined to explain why he worked with the Chamber of Commerce and Chuck Schumer to engineer the largest expansion of immigration in American history— an expansion which, according to Pew polling data, is opposed by a minimum of 92% of GOP voters.
