First They Came For……….. Kirsten Powers’ Anger at the Media over DOJ’s Trampling on Freedom of Press

From Kirsten Powers @ Daily Beast:

It’s instructive to go back to the dawn of Hope and Change. It was 2009, and the
new administration decided it was appropriate to use the prestige of the White
House to viciously attack a news organization—Fox News—and the journalists who
work there. Remember, President Obama had barely been in office and had enjoyed
the most laudatory press of any new president in modern history. Yet even one
outlet that allowed dissent or criticism of the president was one too many. This should have been a red flag
to everyone, regardless of what they thought of Fox
News. The math was simple: if the administration would abuse its power to try
and intimidate one media outlet, what made anyone think they weren’t next?

For Ms. Powers’ full column:

Update: Latest reports show that the DOJ not only spied into James Rosen’s email accounts and phone records, as well as those of FOX News, including their phone lines at the White House, State Department, and Capitol Hill, but they also pried into the records of James Rosen’s parents in Staten island NY. Where is the outrage in the MSM?

Holder DOJ Seeks to Recruit “Dwarfs, Schizophrenics, and the Intellectually Disabled”…… The Latter Already Heads the DOJ!!

First of all, the PC term is “Little People”, and I can understand their recruitment. But SCHIZOPHRENICS and the INTELLECTUALLY DISABLED……

Holder Justice Department Recruits Dwarfs, Schizophrenics, and the ‘Intellectually Disabled’

The PJ Tatler has obtained documents from the Justice Department detailing efforts to recruit attorneys and staff who are dwarfs or who have “psychiatric disabilities” or “severe intellectual disabilities.”  On May 31, 2012, Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez issued a directive to affirmatively recruit people with these “targeted disabilities.”

This DOJ policy does not merely involve prohibitions against discrimination, but rather the documents reveal deliberate recruitment efforts to hire as attorneys and staff for the Department of Justice people suffering from psychiatric disorders and intellectual disabilities.  Moreover, applicants can “self-identify” their disability by means of the “Standard Form 256, Self Identification Disability.”

Those with “targeted disabilities” may be hired through a “non-competitive” appointment. That means they don’t have to endure the regular civil service competition among applicants, but can be plucked from the stack of resumes and hired immediately instead.

According to the documents, those with these “targeted disabilities” may be hired “before the position is advertised” and even “before the position’s closing date.” Moreover, lawyers with psychiatric disabilities and “severe intellectual” disabilities receive a waiver from the requirement that a new DOJ employee have practiced law for one year before being hired.

You can read the detailed Civil Rights Division “Hiring of Persons With Targeted Disabilities Policy” memo here.

Eric Holders Scolds Congressional Intern for TAKING NOTES; Photo ID Required for Interns to Attend

PHOTO ID was required for Congressional interns to attend a lecture by Attorney General Eric Holder as a part of their Summer Intern Program….. imagine that… PHOTO ID to attend a lecture by the man who says requiring photo ID to vote is discriminatory and disenfranchising,

From the Daily Caller:

Sources have confirmed to The Daily Caller that Attorney General Eric  Holder on Wednesday scolded an intern from House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy’s  office for taking notes during a lecture he gave on Capitol Hill.

According to one intern who was present, Holder had just started speaking  when he noticed a male intern who was standing on the side of the packed room  beginning to take notes with a pen and paper.

“Holder is talking and then he sees some kid taking notes,” the intern, who  asked to remain anonymous to protect his boss, said in a phone interview. “He  [Holder] asks, ‘Oh, why are you taking notes? Are you from the Washington  Post?’”

“He [the intern Holder scolded] is like, ‘no,’” the intern who spoke with  TheDC recalls.

“Then, he [Holder] is like, ‘what office do you work in?’” he continued. “And, the kid is like, ‘oh Kevin McCarthy.’”

He said, next, Holder responded, “’Oh, you’re one of those guys,’ kind of  like jokingly but meaning he was a Republican.”

Holder’s remarks apparently had an effect on the room, the intern who spoke  with TheDC said. ““Yeah, I was scared to take notes then,” he told TheDC. “No  one else whipped out pens and paper to take notes.”

“Fast & Furious” Gets Fast & Furious as AG Holder Requests and GETS Executive Privilege for Subpoened Docs: Welcome to Nixononia

A mere few days past the 40th anniversary marking the Watergate break in the led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, and the Obama White House now appears to be evolving past its Jimmy Carter reputation into the abyss of Nixononia……………

Just minutes before the House Oversight Committee is to vote on the the Contempt Citation against AG Eric Holder and move ot to the floor of the House, the AG has requested that the White House grant Executive Privilege to the documents that the House committee had been requesting regarding the botched Fast and Furious Operation that ultimately led to the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Of course, the White House immediately asserted the Executive Privilege.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) would not accept Holder’s offer of a “briefing” on the documents. The bottomline is: Who Knew What, When, and Are they Still Making Decisions?

Evoking one of my favorite actresses, Bette Davis, hold on, ’cause its gone be a bumpy ride!!

COUNTDOWN….. ObamaCare SCOTUS Watch, Holder’s “Fast & Furious” Debacle, Obama’s Immigration Ploy

So the COUNTDOWN continues as the US Supreme Court’s latest session nears its end.

     OBAMACARE was not among the Court decisions released this morning, but with just days left, the decision is forthcoming.

Over at the DOJ, AG Eric Holder haggles with Congress of the release of the documents relating to the botched “Fast and Furious” operation that has left AT LEAST ONE American dead as a result of the failure to monitor the operation properly.

     Then there was Friday’s mid-afternoon political ploy, with Barack Obama circumventing the laws passed by Congress regarding the immigartion status of those who came here as children, albeit illegally. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) summed up the actions of the Democrats regarding comprehensive immigration reform by saying that when Obama had the House and the Senate, he did nothing on immigration, despite campaign promises. That is because Democrats DO NOT want immigration reform, because it makes good political fodder EVERY election. The President’s Friday Immigration ploy is just like his gay marriage “evolution”: PANDERING !!!

So WHAT SAY YOU!!!??
