| U.S. Sen. John Kerry breezed through a relatively easy hearing as senators quizzed him about the growing Iranian nuclear threat and President Obama’s actions following a terrorist attack in Benghazi before they vote on his confirmation as Secretary of State. “My sense is your confirmation will go through very, very quickly,” said U.S. Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn), the ranking Republican on the committee, later adding, “I know you’re going to be confirmed in the next very few days.” The most heated questions from members of the committee on foreign relations seemed to focus on other political players rather

So we have a traitor as Secretary of State. With all the stuff going on right now, I can almost write this off as inconsequential.

Do the Vietcong get to vote on Kerry´s nomination? Will considerations about Kerry´s judgment include John Edwards? As Kerry is a member of the 1% of the 1%, will Occupy Wall Street protest Obama´s choice of America´s representative?
So many questions, so little interest by objective, investigative journalists.

quid pro quo... Thanks RINO´s you are all idiots. even though I have some medals from vietnam and sometimes they make me cry, I would never allow someone else to throw them over the white house fence. He should have been court marshalled for his protesting on foreign soil while still in the military. Now we are going to allow this piece of work to make policy... Kerry your communist tatoo is showing

This is why I´m losing all respect for Republicans. Every Senator should vote against Kerry because of his Vietnam era history. What next... Jane Fonda for Secretary of State?

Oh yes this is the same John FNG Kerry that served in Viet Nam and wrote up his own ribbon citations; and was also a Winter Soldier oh yes;can´t America really do without him on the govt. payroll? He is a soup sandwich of the first order.

All that is left is for Obama to put Bill Ayers and Jane Fonda in his administration and the takeover and destruction of the USA will be complete. Stock up on provisions, weapons and ammo. The time is getting near I am afraid.

The 70,000 or so employees of the Department of State just tossed their cookies! John Fing Kerry represents the most reprehensible part of Partisan Politics. Not to mention his total lack of any redeeming character traits. Topping that, he is guilty of traitorous actions.

Word is the the Senate is happy to see him leave.
It´s like when you have an employee that you can´t get rid of but who is looking for another job. You give him glowing endorsement to everyone who calls asking for a reference.

Although Kerry is a flaming progressive, I doubt he is on board t promote The Muslim Brotherhood as leaders of the world. Obama may have a dissenting voice in the cabinet.
I will pray the Ketchup Prince wants to improve his place in history. As an anti war activist, I doubt he thinks it´s cool Oama drone bombs Muslim Brotherhood enemies from a secret list, hidden from congress.

Not so sure about that #16. I fighure that Kerry will be a rubber stamp for whatever Obama wants. Kerry was a traitor, is a traitor, he is a 1 per center, and a tax evading cheat. Ummm. . . . did I leave out anything?

If you don´t think kerry is on board to sell us out to the muslim brotherhood, look into the deal he helped broker for a giant mosque to get land and be built, real cheap with all kinds of benefits, in boston, ma. Kerry does NOTHING that won´t garner him money. He is still the traitor he was many years ago....with the help and happiness of the "republican" party.

Of course he breezed through it. He is, first and foremost, a member of that very elite club that was hearing him today. Beneath disgust, Al Franken is also a member and would be shown similar deference by the club should Obama be inclined to nominate him for some cabinet post.

The man received a less than honorable discharge. Protested a war with troops in harms way. Desecrated his medals (which he mostly didn´t earn). Negotiated on his own with our enemies. Falsely accused US troops of war crimes in the 1970´s and the 2000´s but that doesn´t matters because he is our "good friend across the aisle".
Man am I sick of the Republican cowardliness.

A major tea party group is planning protests at Internal Revenue Services nationwide Tuesday following revelations earlier this month that the tax agency had flagged organizations with the words "tea party" or "patriot" for additional scrutiny.The protests were originally scheduled only for Cincinnati, where the IRS has said employees responsible for the targeting were based. But Tea Party Patriots head Jenny Beth Martin tells Whispers she received requests to protest across the country. A call to action on the group´s web site tells supporters that "the IRS is out of control" and so

President Obama will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in California on June 7-8, the White House announced Monday. It will be Mr. Obama’s first meeting with Mr. Xi since he became president of China in March. They previously met in Washington in 2011 when Mr. Xi was vice president. The talks come amid heightened U.S. tensions over cyberattacks reportedly originating in China. But the Obama administration said it has been pleased with Beijing’s cooperation in trying to persuade North Korea to reduce its belligerent military actions this spring.

The Indiana attorney general’s office confirmed Monday it is investigating a security breach in which Social Security numbers and other personal information were posted online for roughly 44,000 low-income Americans who applied for a federal program that provides discount Internet and phone service. The program was nicknamed the “Obamaphone” during the 2012 election, though it actually started long before President Obama took office. Indiana reportedly has the highest number of applicants, roughly 17,400, who were signed up by TerraCom Inc. and the affiliated YourTel America Inc. Applicants from at least 26 states were exposed to the security breach,

WASHINGTON- Apple Inc. has used an elaborate web of offshore subsidiaries to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. taxes on $44 billion in foreign income over the past four years, a Senate investigation has found. Many of the tactics, such as cost-sharing arrangements, are common among large multinational corporations seeking to shift profits to countries with lower tax rates. The investigation did not find Apple violated any laws.But three of its subsidiaries in Ireland claim to have no responsibility to pay income taxes to any country, according to a 40-page, bipartisan report released Monday

Monday afternoon, ABC News released a chilling report that details what journalists have faced while trying to get some answers from the Cincinnati IRS office, which is where a majority of the Tea Party targeting took place. According to ABC, an "armed uniform police officer with the Federal Protective Service" "escorted" reporters through the public building. ABC says if the intent wasn´t to "scare off" employees who might talk, "it was the effect." ABC News is also hearing conflicting reports from Cincinnati IRS employees and the IRS Headquarters in Washington.

CINCINNATI- Few workers know the IRS Cincinnati office better than Bonnie Esrig, who worked there for 24 years. She retired from her job as a senior manager in January. Esrig said she did not recall any discussion of politics in the office. "Politics and religion were things people generally didn´t talk about at work," she said. Esrig did not work on political cases and was not connected to the applications at the center of the controversy. But she worked in the same office where fewer than 200 people were dealing with 73,000 applications for exemptions last year.

On her blog this afternoon, Fox News’ On the Record host Greta Van Susteren wrote that the Department of Justice should feel “lucky” they did not hack into her emails like they did with her colleague James Rosen several years ago. While that sounds like a veiled threat against the DOJ, Van Susteren was actually making a joke about how her personal email account mostly contains correspondence and information regarding her sick dog named Audrey: Had Justice hacked into my personal email account this weekend, they would have had to sort through all the emails from the vet

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
