| Democratic Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey seemed absolutely shocked and appalled Tuesday afternoon, when MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall kicked off their interview on comprehensive immigration reform by asking him about breaking news from the Associated Press regarding the arrest and deportation order against an intern in the senator´s office who is a registered sex offender. According to the report, the arrest was deliberately timed to fall AFTER the November 6 presidential election. "Do you know anything about this report, senator," Hall asked a visibly annoyed Menendez.

Back in 2005 Menendez pressured then Gov. McGreevey, a corrupt incompetent with sexual identity issues himself, to appoint the state´s first hispanic female as Attorney General - Zulima Farber.
Farber got the appointment without being vetted (Hey she´s a hispanic woman what else mattered?)
Turned out the broad had outstanding warrants for unpaid fines and was an absolute affirmative action dullard in office. Imagine, the state´s top law enforcement official was appointed with active warrants for her arrest!
She had to be fired within about a year after she used her office to get her criminal dirt-ball attorney boyfriend (a Mr. Hamlet Goore) out of a jam by inappropriately using her office to influence police....look it up.
So this isn´t the first time Menendez has been involved in something like this. He´s a disgrace to his office, hispanics and America. If he had one ounce of integrity he would have resigned years ago.

I´ve watched Tamron Hall on occasion and find she is a very tough questioner no matter who she is interviewing, Dem or Repub.

Menendez is a slimy worm. But, he starts a new six-year term now. Nothing shames him or his supporters, I suppose.

As usual, RAT scandals get reported the day after the miscreant gets elected to another term, to be long forgotten the next time the RAT miscreant runs for re-election.
Wasn´t Menendez also implicated in hiring ladies of the evening while vacationing at some big-wig donor´s luxury pad in the Caribean recently?
And as for MSNBC having someone to ask these questions: (1) Democrats routinely ignore or fail to have folks from FOX and other conservative leaning media folks show up at their press availabilities and (2) this proves the busted-clock-is-right-twice-a-day rule.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has endorsed gay marriage, becoming the third Republican to do so. In a statement on her website, Murkowski said supporting same-sex marriage is consistent with her values as a "lifelong Republican" who believes in "promoting freedom and limiting the reach of government." "I support the right of all Americans to marry the person they love and choose because I believe doing so promotes both values: it keeps politicians out of the most private and personal aspects of people´s lives -- while also encouraging more families to form

Serena Williams released a statement on her website Wednesday apologizing for controversial comments made in a Rolling Stone article about the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case. Her statement: "What happened in Steubenville was a real shock for me. I was deeply saddened. For someone to be raped, and at only sixteen, is such a horrible tragedy! For both families involved — that of the rape victim and of the accused. I am currently reaching out to the girl´s family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written in the Rolling Stone article.

Despite first lady Michelle Obama´s four-year campaign to wean the nation off Big Macs and Big Gulps, obesity in America rose last year, continuing an unbroken 15-year streak, according to new figures from the Centers for Disease Control. In an early release of some data in its 2012 National Health Interview Survey, the CDC said that 28.9 percent of adults are obese, a small but significant jump from 28.7 percent in 2011. Officials were hoping that 2012 would snap the trend. As a result, the CDC found that the nation´s obese population

During his speech in Berlin today, President Obama declared once again that the “decade of war” against terrorism was coming to an end. “The Iraq war is now over, the Afghan war is coming to an end, Osama bin Laden is no more, our efforts against al Qaeda are evolving,” he declared. Obama reminded the crowd that it was time for world to move beyond the mindset of perpetual war. “In America that means redoubling our efforts to close the prison at Guantanamo. It means tightly controlling our use of new technologies like drones. It means balancing the

Former Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) said Wednesday that he may mount a primary challenge to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in their state´s 2016 U.S. Senate primary. West told station WMAL that he could run for Senate "if I see people that are not taking our country down the right path, if I see people that are not standing up for the right type of principles, and putting their own party politics before what is best for the United States of America." Asked directly in he would rule out challenging Rubio, West responded, "Chirping... chirping... chirping." "We´ll see

The advocates of S. 744, the immigration bill under consideration in the U.S. Senate that would legalize many of the illegal aliens already in the United States, have argued that the proposed legislation would also secure the border and prevent future illegal immigration. However, the cost estimate of the legislation that was released on Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office says that the legislation would actually allow the flow of new illegal aliens into the United States to continue at a rate equal to 75 percent of the current rate of illegal immigration. This will be the case,

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

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

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

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.
