Hillary Rodham Clinton is responsible for the Obama administration’s disastrous war effort in Libya. According to a newly released email, Hillary’s aides explicitly congratulate their boss for effectively convincing President Obama to bomb Libya and destabilize its political infrastructure.
The former of Secretary of State managed to force the president’s hand, a difficult feat in it of itself; call it inception. In fact, Anne Marie-Slaughter (a name that’s perhaps too on the nose given the carnage seen in Libya today) Director of Policy Planning (January 2009 – February 2011) under the Clinton State Department, sent her boss a fawning email with the subject line: ‘bravo!”, praising an “exhausted”
In the wake of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death, President Barack Obama said he plans on nominating a successor despite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ‘s vow not to fill the seat until the election is over.
While Democrats in the upper chamber – including Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, both of which called for blocking former President George W. Bush’s nominations – have slammed the GOP for its decision not to consider a nominee until after a new president is elected, Democrats have not always held that stance. The Democrat-controlled Senate passed a resolution in 1960 preventing a
To hear Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia tell it, America’s freedoms don’t come from freedom of speech or freedom of the press.
It’s not the right to bear arms that keeps us free, nor is it the right to “be secure … against unreasonable search and seizure” or to a “speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.”
The reason America’s basic freedom has endured for more than 200 years, Scalia said Friday in a speech to the Federalist Society in Morristown, N.J., is not the amendments to the Constitution but the Constitution itself.
“Every tin horn dictator in the world today, every president for life, has a Bill of Rights,”
COOPERSBURG – In his continuing effort to stay in touch with constituents and understand their concerns, Rep. Justin Simmons (R-Lehigh/Montgomery/Northampton) is hosting three town hall meetings during the month of March.
“Town hall meetings provide an opportunity for me to listen to what constituents here in the 131st District have to say about the issues impacting their communities and legislation we are working on in Harrisburg,” said Simmons. “I encourage anyone with a question or concern regarding a state government-related matter
As state budget hearings kick off today, other negotiations are happening that could cost you a bundle. I’m talking about contract negotiations with government unions. Pennsylvania pays almost $100K per state worker in salary and benefits—including a $5,000 boost in benefits since last year.
The kicker? The contract negotiations where these benefits are decided happen behind closed doors. You, the taxpayer, find out the cost only after the contracts are finalized.
This is hardly “transparency.”
It’s time to end these secret deals that boost public benefits at taxpayer expense.
Contract transparency legislation currently before the House, SB 645 sponsored by Sen. Pat Stefano, would require that state
WAGNER QUESTIONS BUDGET SECRETARY ON FIRST DAY OF HEARINGS
HARRISBURG – Today the Senate Appropriations Committee kicked off three weeks of budget hearings, and Senator Scott Wagner (R-York) took the opportunity to question Secretary of the Budget, Randy Albright, about financial mismanagement throughout the Commonwealth, in particular, recently audited school districts and the state pension funds.
Due to the need to address the unfinished 2015-2016 budget, in addition to the 2016-2017 budget, two separate hearings were held with Secretary Albright. Wagner used the first hearing to question the Secretary about the Commonwealth’s financial state and education cost drivers.
“Do you firmly believe that Pennsylvania is in a state of financial crisis?” asked Wagner. He

What a shock.
Now that he’s at the White House—and facing GOP opposition to appointing a new Supreme Court justice in the mere months before a new president is elected—President Barack Obama seems to have changed his tune a decade after serving as a U.S. senator.
The Russian-Iranian military alliance continues to grow following the release of billions of dollars to Tehran under the recently implemented nuclear agreement, according to announcements made by both countries.
Iranian officials announced Monday that Iran would spend another $8 billion on the purchase of Russian-made arms. The sale comes as Moscow gears up to deliver to Iran an advanced missile air defense system as part of a deal that
