The chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona is refusing to testify before Congress regarding Operation Fast and Furious, the federal gun-running scandal that sent U.S. weapons to Mexico.

Presidential candidate Ron Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy which aligns with our first president’s philosophy about foreign entanglements seems to be a thorn in the side of the established Republicans who feel Israel must be an exception even though its Prime Minister says they do not need the financial aid.

AG Eric Holder is trying to compare the time when forcing African Americans to pay a poll tax, or answer obscure questions about the Georgia constitution – common tactics to deny blacks the right to vote 50 years ago – to voter ID laws today. Is it possible to be so ignorant of history, partisan, […]

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich was greeted with a standing ovation when he was announced at a barbecue. Too bad the former House speaker wasn’t around to see it. He was inexplicably missing, and his absence forced the event’s moderator to ask awkwardly, “Can we check and see where the speaker is?” It was just […]
