He was even shot at a couple of times, but they missed.”                 When Joe arrived stateside from the war he was [...]

The IRS Scandal Is Improper And Illegal Political Competition

The IRS Scandal Is Improper And Illegal Political Competition

By: Edmund Jenks - West Coast Editor Democrats, who are famous for making a bunch of noise about Fairness, Equal Access, Voter Suppression, and Racial Discrimination ... "REDLINED" all requests by tax-exempt organizations that appeared to be aligned against a progressive political agenda. Many organizations were headed up by conservative Black, Hispanic, Female and Religious organizers, who wanted to educate potential voters and inform them of the consequences of tyranny (the kind they were being confronted with in their application process), and be able to bring fairness in the process of public discourse. This is by any measure, far worse than what had actually happened in the activities that created "Watergate" and what the activities were suppose to achieve - political [...]

Flashback: Hillary Rodham Clinton fired from Watergate, Why?

Flashback: Hillary Rodham Clinton fired from Watergate, Why?

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career. Why? “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.” Read More EO History: [...]
