we need to close the Dept of Education............the Feds in DC do NOT educate 1 single child....but they do have a SWAT TEAM.........U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General special agents broke into a California home at 6 a.m. Tuesday and reportedly roughed up a man because of a student aid issue involving his estranged wife. His wife was not present. "In 2010, the Post’s Valerie Strauss reported that the Education Department was purchasing 27 Remington Brand Model 870 police 12-gauge shotguns to replace old firearms used by Education’s Office of Inspector General, which is the law enforcement arm of the department. DoE said the guns were necessary to help enforce “waste, fraud, abuse, and other criminal activity involving Federal education funds, programs, and operations.” ...(full comment)

Snowden is not a hero leaker, he is a traitor pure and simple. The press is just as culpable for making him out to be some sort of hero. However these leaks are not newsworthy in any way shape or form. We were spying on China, stop the presses, we have been spying on them since 1949 and them on us. We have also spied on our allies, again no news. This too has been going on for decades. Google- Jonathan Pollard, who was jailed in 1987 for spying for Israel and the lists go on. So why the sudden media hysteria and shock? Liquidate the leak and let us get back to pretending the world is all soft and cuddly.

Time and time again, we’ve seen illegal alien criminals harming American citizens after law enforcement authorities, following sanctuary policies, sent them back onto the streets. (In fact, as JW previously disclosed, one of the Boston bombers should have been deported in accordance with the law.)" ...(full comment)
