Winston Churchill once said that Russia “is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” So is anything even remotely having to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton. And just as with the Russians, that is intentionally so. The

One way to tell if a law is genuinely needed to protect the public – as opposed to just an underhanded maneuver by politicians to protect themselves from the public – is to see to whom it applies and if

There is no doubt Barack Obama and everyone involved in advancing the Obamacare monstrosity would love for Judicial Watch to simply go away, but you know by now that’s just not going to happen. This is precisely what they were

Last week saw a somewhat surprising victory against the racialists running the Obama administration. It was surprising, not so much in the result, but in how it was achieved. I’ll explain via The Washington Post: Several Senate Democrats joined with

When Congress mandates the production of a report that documents the activities of the federal government, the American people ought to have easy access to these reports. Congress may ignore the information, but vigilant American patriots will not.  After all,

There is a new Obama IRS campaign to kill the conservative movement with proposed regulations and paperwork. You can do something about it. Judicial Watch recently launched a new web initiative to allow conservatives and conservative organizations to voice their

Letting terrorists off the hook is dangerous, but inviting a terrorist to dine at the Pentagon is downright dangerous and bizarre. But that’s exactly what happened when Anwar al-Aulaqi, the American-born terrorist ultimately assassinated by President Obama, was asked to

A pair of once high-rising politicians has experienced a precipitous fall of late. One, former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, was indicted for improperly accepting thousands of dollars in gifts from a supporter who sought his help. The other, New Jersey Governor

The Obama administration has mastered inventing bogus new exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) law. There is the infamous “spiking the football” exemption (AKA the “offending the terrorists” exemption) that I referenced recently that was used to keep

Judicial Watch recently announced that it reached a settlement in an August 30, 2012 lawsuit against the state of Ohio, which resulted in an agreement with Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted to take or continue to take a series of actions to further

There is little doubt that Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) is dodging a thorough, top-to-bottom, no-holds-barred investigation of the Benghazi terrorist attack. The only question is, “Why?” As the only non-governmental organization in the country litigating in federal

The Obama gang controlling the executive branch, back on its heels over President Obama’s lies about Obamacare, has doubled down on deception. As the destructive effects of Obamacare impact Americans of all political stripes, this Leftist command and control effort

Washington has become the Scrooge that ruins Christmas for those of us involved in public policy.  Instead of being a quiet period to commemorate the birth of Christ, enjoy time with our families, and to pleasantly work to deal with

Wouldn’t it be nice if American citizens could depend on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to actually enforce the law? It really doesn’t seem like much to ask of the nation’s top law enforcement agency. And yet, when it comes
