Glenn Greenwald is out with another piece about the NSA: The Obama administration for more than two years permitted the National Security Agency to continue collecting vast amounts of records detailing the email and internet usage of Americans, according to secret documents obtained by the Guardian. The documents indicate that under the program, launched in […]
During an open and televised hearing of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, House Republicans decided to out a CIA base Benghazi. The hearing, which was in fact nothing more than another witch hunt conducted by Darrell Issa, the following occurred: Through their outbursts, cryptic language and boneheaded questioning of State Department officials, the committee […]
Since Barack Obama took the oath of office there has been a rise of anti-government extremists. It seems like we hear about some new group being arrested every couple of weeks. Now the FBI is warning about this growing threat: Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement […]
Ever since President Obama announced plans to cut defense spending the right has been up in arms, accusing him of “gutting the military”. Sadly though the Republicans aren’t the only ones upset over it: Panetta said the U.S. Army would still have about 37,000 soldiers in Europe even after it withdraws two of its four […]

That image is the iconic mark of the end of World War 2, when Americans took to the streets to celebrate. Yesterday President Obama announced that the rest of the U.S. troops serving in Iraq will be home by year’s end. He didn’t top gun onto an aircraft carrier and stand in front of a […]
I am stealing this from Bob Cesca because I have never read more truer words. Andrew Sullivan: To rid the world of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi within six months: if Obama were a Republican, he’d be on Mount Rushmore by now.
