Then & Now

More than 40 years ago, the nation was shocked by the leak and subsequent publication of the Pentagon Papers. What they revealed was that the Nixon Administration had been lying to the American people about the Vietnam War and how difficult that conflict truly was.

What was scandalous then -- misleading the public on matters of national security -- is the way Obama routinely conducts business now.

Feds Blast Baltimore Cops

The Justice Department today issued a scathing report against the Baltimore Police Department (BPD). The report was initiated after last year's riots following the death of Freddie Gray.

During a press conference this morning, Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, said, "We conclude that there is reasonable cause to believe that BPD engages in a pattern or practice of conduct that violates the Constitution and federal anti-discrimination law."

Obama's Lie

Clearly stung by news reports that his administration paid a $400 million ransom to Iran, President Obama addressed reporters at the Pentagon last week and made this stunning claim:
 

"By all accounts, [the Iranian nuclear deal] has worked exactly the way we said it was going to work. It's not just the assessment of our intelligence community, it's the assessment of the Israeli military and intelligence community. The country that was most opposed to this deal acknowledges this has been a game changer. . ."

Paying Ransom To Iranian Thugs

Drip. Drip. Drip.  More facts emerged today in the Obama Administration’s payoff of $400 million in hard cold cash to the Mullahs of Iran for the release of U.S. prisoners being held in that radical Islamist country.  Now we have learned top officials at the Justice Department reportedly objected to the deal, warning Obama and Kerry that the “optics” were terrible and would appear to the public to be a violation of long standing U.S. policy not to pay ransoms.
