| On Sunday night, Spanish-language station Univision— one of the only networks to provide critical coverage of President Obama’s failures in office instead of cream-puff interviews — broke open the Fast and Furious investigation, revealing new evidence of weapons smuggling and displaying shocking new images of the bloody aftermath of the government-supported gun-smuggling program. The Univision report undermines the integrity of the recently released DOJ inspector general report on Operation Fast and Furious, already heavily criticized as an attempt to whitewash criminal activity within the Obama administration.

Kudos for having cojones, Univision. I just wish everyone could see their reporting, not just Spanish speaking people.

This may be good but it's worth noting that all civilians are prohibited from owning guns in Mexico. Therefore all guns entering the country go to the criminals. The presence of guns in the hands of free and honest citizens prevents crime. So....while Mexico may be helping us pursue Mssr. Holder & Co. they are still very wrong headed about gun control.

I had never heard of project gang walker or project gun walker until this article. Those are very scarey because they are being used in select big cities and states for the purpose of harming citizens to turn the population against gun use.

What poster 4 said. Gang walker? Are you kidding??
This scandal may be exponentilly bigger than anyone can conceptualize.
As more is revealed about it, the more it becomes obvious that the operation was designed as groundwork for a giant gun grab.
As for me, I intend to grab a tight rein.

The tough questions Univision asked Obama just exposed how worthless and corrupt the Liberal Plantation mainstream media are.
We have a infantile, complicit and toxic media. Time for a change.

And Hispanics will overwhelmingly vote for Obambi despite the fact he runs guns to drug cartels so that innocent Mexicans can be slaughtered. Hispanics voting for Obambi is like Jews voting for Hitler. It makes no sense at all.

This is all well and good. But it is just a set up to clear the way for some Mexicans to sue the American taxpayer for deaths caused by these guns. The truth is, whatever murders were committed with Fast and Furious guns would have been committed anyway. There are plenty of other guns in the hands of Mexican criminals.

Just like American Jews, Hispanics must realize that Obama, his administration and the Democrat Party are not their friends and do not care. The American Media is a disgrace and should be ashamed the it took the work of Univision to reveal the details of this bloody atrocity and cover up by the Obama administration. The American Media is complicit and in collusion obviously with Washington Democrats in the cover up as well.

They call AK47s "Goat's horns"! Maybe Obama and Holder thought the cartel was shopping for real goat horns? They aren't that bright, you know? They probably don't know many Mexicans. Or, they didn't get it. Busy raising funds, and what not.

Univision was co-founded by and owned by - until a few years ago when he sold his interest - Jerry Perenchio, a former Hollywood agent and promoter (his roster included Elizabeth Taylor) - who is a huge supporter of Republican PACs and candidates and is fiercely anti-illegal immigrant.
A. Jerrold Perenchio, known as "Jerry," made the bulk of his fortune selling Spanish-language broadcaster Univision for $13.7 billion in 2007 to a consortium led by fellow Los Angeles billionaire Haim Saban.

Although his original co-founders were Mexican and Univision is Spanish language, you could not call it a Mexican television station.

FTA: Univision also uncovered evidence of weapons being smuggled from Texas: two gun-smuggling programs similar to Fast and Furious are rumored to have put thousands of additional weapons in the cartels’ hands in operations larger than Fast and Furious.
On June 6, 2010 two illegals Damaso Rueda-Cabrera (20) and Arnulfo de la Cruz Sanchez were stopped by Laredo Police with 147 assault rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition. The were charged with immigration crimes and served 10 and 45 days respectively.
On Aug 1, 2012 Damaso Rueda-Cabrera (30) and Rene Chapa were sentenced to 80 months and 70 months for arms trafficing. The story is that Chapa hired an under cover ICE agent to transport the guns and ammunition and the trap was sprung when Cabrera met the truck.
Sounds to me like this was clean up after Fast and Furious blew up.

I don`t believe the country at large cares one wit about F & F, Benghazi or any other Scandal of the Week. These things come and go during the standard `news cycles`. Since most people get their `news` from Big Media and BM doesn`t cover the story properly, these things tend to fade away after time. People simply get tired of hearing about it and move on. Holder was found in contempt of Congress back in late June, almost 100 days ago. What has happened since? N-o-t-h-i-n-g. Nothing will come from the Benghazi fiasco either. It`s business as usual. Congressional investigations do nothing.

It's amazing that to get a fair/truthful report of events we are forced to go to foreign reporting. Outside of Fox witch I think is getting more liberal I start by thinking anything I read or hear is probably a contrived report of half truths or misleading facts(lies).

Again, it all boils down to network media millionaire "stars", like 1% Diane Sawyer, Scott Pelley, Brian Williams acting as the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, censoring the real news like TRAITORS TO THE TRUTH, protected by their MAFIA MEDIA union contracts, big salaries, all the networks, all lobbying sponsors, and Fox TV EVEN, all the same "containment safe" guys or they would not be allowed on the air. Glenn Beck, Andrew Napolitano became too straightforward, honest and lost out, lost their shows, too direct, TV including FoxTV, is "Containment City" so many subjects are taboo, blocked out, never discussed. We're in giant economics and dictator-czar-executive order TROUBLE and you will not see hear any of it on TV. Only the INTERnet is open city to the truth, and your average person TV watcher just sits there with fast food, big sugared drinks and soaks up the brainwashing from the Gobellesian Sawyers and Lettermans every night. The internet allows in, does not bar information from the outside, like Canada Free Press, and a few of the UK sites

If Romney is nimble he will say to Univision immediately that he will prosecute those responsible no matter how far up it goes. They are very passionate about this and it's a big issue to them. Obama will just make more of the same excuses that they aren't buying. He's liable to lose a lot of the Hispanic vote over this if Romney handles it right.

Twenty gunmen hired to assassinate a bunch of seemingly innocent teenagers? Hired by whom? What a perfect way to start a wave of outrage against guns. If the government has sunk low enough to hold a secret, illegal gun sale, it's also low enough to use them. Washington has been infiltrated by the entire Chicago black crime syndicate.

An IRS supervisor working in Washington told congressional investigators that she personally reviewed applications from groups for tax-exempt status, in testimony that appears to show the agency’s scrutiny of conservative groups extended beyond the confines of the office in Cincinnati. Holly Paz, who was a supervisor in the Internal Revenue Service’s tax-exempt status division, indicated during an interview with congressional investigators that she did review such applications, but indicated that she believed “tea party” meant political advocacy in general — not necessarily conservative groups.

WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency sweeps up data on millions of cellphones and Internet communications under secret court orders. But as it mounts a rigorous defense of its surveillance, the agency has disclosed new details that portray its efforts as tightly controlled and limited in scope, while successful in thwarting potential plots. On Sunday, officials said that though the NSA is authorized to collect "geolocational" information that can pinpoint the location of callers, it chooses not to.

t looked bad last week, but it looks much, much worse now. The federal government has been spying and lying. The only comfort is that, apparently, it´s been largely incompetent at both: Nobody believes the lies, and the spying wasn´t even able to catch the Tsarnaev brothers. Not long ago, the Director of National Intelligence assured us that the federal government does not "wittingly" spy on Americans. That has turned out to be a lie.

Perhaps a suddenly firearm-friendly President Obama can put in a good word for Jared Marcum. In April, Marcum, an eighth-grader at Logan Middle School in Logan, W. Va., was arrested when he refused to take off his NRA t-shirt. The New York Daily News reports: The clothing kerfuffle began when Marcum wore a shirt bearing the NRA’s logo and a hunting rifle. As he stood in line in the cafeteria, a teacher ordered him to either change shirts or turn it inside out. Marcum declined and was sent to the office, where an officer

Syria is turning out to be a sort of Spanish Civil War of our age, with Hezbollah and Iran playing the role of fascist Italy and Germany, and the Islamic nations and jihadists that of Stalin’s Russia, as the moderates disappear and the messy conflict becomes a proxy war for greater powers, with worse to come. There were always problems for the Obama administration intervening in Syria besides the usual bad/worse choices in the Middle East between authoritarianism and Islamic extremism and the president’s own preference for sonorous sermons rather than rapid action

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
