Operation American Spring reveals plan to dismantle Obama’s America, starting Friday

The organizers of Operation American Spring don’t really expect their demonstration to dislodge some of the nation’s top elected officials.

At least, not right away.

These Two Aren't Spineless Democrats + You Get Two For The Price Of One!

Bill and Hillary Clinton are fighting back against critics as if they are waging another campaign, the clearest sign yet that, perhaps, they are. The former secretary of state and her former president husband are defending their records, showing off their health and humor and raising money for fellow Democrats, fresh indications that Hillary Clinton has her eye on running for president in 2016.

The Benghazi Bandwagon Wants To Visit The Senate

Three dozen Republican senators are calling on Majority Leader Harry Reid to establish a select committee to investigate the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

In a letter released Thursday by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the 37 Republican senators said the Senate only has a “partial view of the facts” about the attacks on a U.S. compound that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
