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
If Obama administration officials thought the controversy surrounding the bin Laden death images was put to rest after the Supreme Court refused to consider Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, they could not be more wrong. Judicial Watch
“I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone – and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.” “That’s the good thing about being President. I
When it comes to silencing political opposition, the Obama administration often wields a big stick – say, for example, using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to block the nonprofit applications for organizations deemed too “patriotic,” or subjecting these organizations 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
A federal court recently scuttled Judicial Watch’s lawsuit on behalf of Kawa Orthodontics’ challenge of the Obama administration’s delay of the so-called “employer mandate” provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, but we’re not going away
Unfortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up Judicial Watch’s challenge to the Obama administration’s keeping the post-mortem images of Osama bin Laden and his burial at sea secret. This is a decision that not only undermines the public’s
Judicial Watch’s Corruption Chronicles blogger Irene Garcia, formerly with the Los Angeles Times, recently wrote on the latest Benghazi developments: It’s no coincidence that, days after prominent conservatives–including Judicial Watch–and family members of Benghazi victims demanded action and accountability, House leaders released classified
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
The government contracting process is supposed to be transparent, fair, and subject to open bidding so the American people can have confidence that politicians and their appointees in the federal bureaucracies do not engage in the behavior of rewarding campaign
If there is any single name that has become synonymous with Barack Obama’s corruption of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), it is Lois Lerner. Few can forget her stern visage as she took the Fifth Amendment before a House Oversight
Judicial Watch has long been on the trail of the corruption and deceit that were part and parcel of former First Lady Hillary Clinton’s National Taskforce on Health Care Reform. I’m pleased to report that we have scored another breakthrough,
Evidently, we can now add “World War II veterans” to the list of the Obama administration’s political enemies. Last Wednesday, the National Park Service blocked access to the national memorials and attempted to arrest World War II veterans who were
Just days into the Obamacare occupation and our government-run health insurance “market” is in complete chaos. A massive system breakdown–or a “glitch” if you believe Obama–has caused mass frustration for consumers trying to wrap their heads around the behemoth healthcare
I recently wrote about a Judicial Watch lawsuit seeking records from the Obama Defense Department regarding the U.S. Air Force’s decision to remove the words “So help me God” from the oath given to USAF inductees. This shocking departure from
There has been a wave of attacks against religious freedom inside the United States Military. There was the Air Force officer who was forced to remove a Bible from his desk because it might offend someone. There is the military
The name Huma Abedin might be best known to you as the wife of disgraced former Congressman and former New York Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner. But it is her relationship with Hillary Clinton and the U.S. State Department that is
How bad is Obamacare? In July, President Obama himself unilaterally rewrote the law. Why? Because businesses started cutting hours, slashing benefits and reducing staff to avoid paying a hefty $3,000 per-employee penalty/fine/tax–whatever you want to call it–mandated by Obamacare. And
On January 21, 2009, the day after assuming office, President Barack Obama promised his senior staff and cabinet members that “transparency and the rule of law” would be a fundamental feature of his presidency. On September 4, 2009, the Obama
President Barack Obama, on his first full day in office in 2009, promised, “Let me say it as simply as I can: transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.” Time has given the lie
When Judicial Watch began the battle to obtain photos and videos of the raid that led to Osama bin Laden’s capture, killing, and burial, we promised not stop until we exhausted every single legal remedy available to us. Last stop:
President Barack Obama, on his first full day in office in 2009, said, “Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.” Time has given the lie
ACORN is back in the news. That’s right, the supposedly defunct, defunded and bankrupt organization that fixed elections for liberal candidates is STILL alive and well. Judicial Watch recently released documents from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
With a struggling economy and government debt piling up, President Obama promised to look at the budget line by line. Well, I’ve got a few lines he can examine. How about starting with the taxpayer-funded personal junkets taken by Obama
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) work of Judicial Watch has one purpose: to lay bare for the American people the inner-workings of government. Transparency is the antidote to corruption and FOIA law requires government officials to err on the
Ever see a high pressure sales job on a used car lot? You know, where the salesman with the slicked back hair and the bad cologne tries to stick you with a lemon. His job is to get you off
“The necessity of conducting the global war on terror should not render the U.S. government so afraid of its own shadow that it refuses to release truthful information to the American people when required by FOIA.” This was an argument
You have probably heard about stealth amnesty, the Obama administration’s campaign to bypass Congress and enact policies that provide amnesty to a wide variety of illegal immigrants, including those convicted of serious crimes. While the policy begins at the very
“Approach with caution.” That’s the instruction the FBI gave to agents who spotted Anwar al-Aulaqi on September 4, 2002, according to new records obtained by Judicial Watch. And yet, the very next day, al-Aulaqi, identified by the FBI as a
In Judicial Watch’s effort to follow the law and uncover the truth behind what your government is not telling you, JW obtained information concerning the activities of a new federal agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which is every
The American people are in an uproar over the revelation that the National Security Agency (NSA) has gathered billions of phone and Internet records from millions of American citizens. In response, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has now
Judicial Watch forced The Department of State to release the first seven photos depicting the aftermath of the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. diplomatic and CIA facilities in Benghazi, Libya. The release of the photos on June 6,
