On my way into work on Thursday morning I listened to Jeff Kuhner of WRKO in Boston interview Walid Shoebat and it was some of the most riveting radio I have ever listened to. This was unbelievable radio and I found the audio of the interview at The Right Scoop and just had to share it with all of my readers.
During this interview he even discusses the Obama family’s ties to terrorism, at 30 minutes in length it is a must hear. Walid Shoebat is probably the foremost authority on Islamic terrorism so please make the time to listen to this:
The Department of Justice confirms Eric Holder knew about the James Rosen search warrant
As I wrote about in this post yesterday, it was reported that Eric Holder was the person who signed off on the search warrant to monitor James Rosen’s personal email while labeling him a co-conspirator in violation of the Espionage Act, and if this is true it appears as if Eric Holder perjured himself in Congress last week when he claimed the following:
In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy
The Department of Injustice has now confirmed that while we still don’t know if Eric Holder actually signed off on the search warrant that he was indeed involved in the discussion:
The U.S. Justice Department said on Friday that Attorney General Eric Holder and other senior officials vetted a decision to search an email account belonging to a Fox News reporter whose story on North Korea prompted a leak investigation
The latest Justice Department statement said the highest levels of the department were involved in the search warrant used in Kim’s case. The process included discussions Holder took part in, according to the statement
Last week, while under oath, Eric Holder testified in front of the Congress and he stated that he not only had nothing to do with the AP scandal but that he also never even heard of any cases where the government was pursuing legal action against the press:
In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy
That is an interesting statement indeed considering yesterday it was reported that it was he who signed off on the warrant to investigate James Rosen as a potential co-conspirator in violation of the Espionage Act.
Eric Holder signed the warrant targeting James Rosen, Barack Obama orders Eric Holder to investigate
During his speech today Barack Obama said that he was very worried about journalists being targeted by the Department of Injustice for simply doing their jobs:
“Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs,” President Obama said. “Our focus must be on those who break the law.”
Because he is so worried about journalists being targeted he asked Eric Holder to conduct a review of the Injustice Department and Eric Holder has agreed to do just that:
“I have raised these issues with the attorney general, who shares my concern. So he has agreed to review existing Department of Justice guidelines governing investigations that involve reporters, and will convene a group of media organizations to hear their concerns as part of that review. And I have directed the attorney general to report back to me by July 12th.”
Shortly after Barack Obama made this announcement it was reported that it was none other than Eric Holder himself who signed the search warrant to investigate reporter James Rosen as a possible co-conspirator in possible violation of the Espionage Act for attempting to do his job, and the warrant also allowed for the targeting of Rosen’s parents.
In other words it was Eric Holder who targeted a reporter, and his family, with the possible intent to punish him for doing his job–precisely what Barack Obama railed against earlier today. In essence Eric Holder has been charged with investigating himself.
In my opinion this should be a fairly quick investigation culminating in the resignation of Eric Holder if Barack Obama is true to his word. I will not be holding my breath as I wait for justice to be done…..
Taking a break from the national politics and scandals of the day for it is time to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the New Hampshire primary.
Over the years many people have complained about the influence a small state such as New Hampshire has in selecting the presidential candidates of both parties but most people probably do not know why New Hampshire enjoys the first in the nation status it currently does in the election process. In fact, to be clear, I did not realize why either, but it is because the New Hampshire primary was the first primary ever.
Up until 1913 the party insiders chose who would be the delegates to the conventions but that changed in New Hampshire when the Bullock Act was passed–for the first time in this nation’s history the people would choose who would represent the parties at the conventions instead of the party bigwigs. This was the first primary in the nation.
And then in 1952 a law was passed in New Hampshire which would allow the people to actually vote in the primary for the presidential candidate they preferred in the parties to represent them, creating the system which is currently in place all across the nation. For the first time in United States history the people had direct input in the presidential race. This had a direct impact immediately:
That year, Granite Staters chose Sen. Estes Kefauver over President Harry Truman in the Democratic presidential primary, prompting Truman not to seek a second term.
To this day New Hampshire law requires the Secretary of State to ensure the New Hampshire primary is the first in the nation and now you might have a little insight into why New Hampshire holds this issue in such high regard.

The big news of the day to come out in the IRS hearing–aside from the claim that Lois Lerner might have accidentally waived her fifth amendment right–and I have a problem with this because a constitutional right is a constitutional right and the claim seems dubious to me although I am no lawyer–is the news that the IRS conducted their own internal investigation in May of last year and concluded they did “inappropriately” target conservative groups but did not bring it to anyone’s attention.
The IRS knew months before the election the department was in error and nothing was said until they decided to preempt the Inspector General report which came out last week–months after the election when it was too late for these groups to participate in the election. Read more…
Where? Who? Why? These are the three big questions surrounding the Benghazi attack and the cover up which followed. Where was Barack Obama during the attack? That should be a very easy question to answer but to this point either nobody knows or they do not want to say. Who put the youtube video language in the 12th edit of the talking points thereby changing the original–correct–motivation for the attack to the lie which was promoted for so many weeks? We still do not know who was responsible, but we do know it came from the State Department. Why was Chris Stevens in Benghazi at a time when it was known the situation on the ground was deteriorating? If this story is true we may soon know the answer and it could be very damaging to both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
