So cute...watching the Justice Dept.Oversight Hearing


Posted: May 15, 2013

Rep. Mel Watts is babysitting. He came into the hearing with his grandson, had him sitting on his lap.

Holder stated he thought kids were only seen at confirmation hearings whereas everyone laughed. 

After the 2nd question, the little guy started getting antsy, so he handed him off to someone out of camera range at which point, the little guy started to complain, so Rep. Watts had to take him back. (He got another laugh over that.) The little guy settled down then and Rep. Watts could finish his question and answer time.

He also explained "for those that don't know, this is my grandson"  and smiled before leaving the room again. Laughing

That IS cute. Disruptive and perhaps not appropriate? - But cute overrides all that.

I hope we can all agree on at least that!

What Happens When You Can't Trust The FBI Or Dept. Of Justice?Sep 24, 2016
In a stunning Friday (isn't it always?) revelation, we found out that yet another key figure from Hillary Clinton's "rat pack" -- her former chief-of-staff Cheryl Mills - was given immunity in the email server investigation. As Ed Morrissey points out, that makes "at least five" -- who knows how many there really are -- who have received this treatment. So far that's techies Bryan Pagliano and Paul Combetta (more of him in a moment), John Bentel of the Office of Information Re ...

Justice Dept Gets Attacked For Trying To Protect Asian AmericansAug 03, 2017
The Justice Department was attacked as racist due to a false New York Times story claiming the DOJ was working to protect white students from discrimination. The Times story inferred that an internal personnel posting seeking volunteers to investigate “possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions” was meant to look at policies discriminating “against white applicants.” The Daily Caller first reported that a DOJ source s ...

Justice Dept. Is Suing S&P - Retaliation For Downgrading Our Credit Rating?Feb 05, 2013
I think it's vindictiveness on Holder's part because of our credit downgrade last year. Read the whole article. i only posted the beginning. The article is very long.   Was S&P supposed to use a crystal ball?  I think this is a sham, just like some of the other suits brought by this agency. Then there's the suits the DOJ DIDN'T bring against companies and/or people that they did have enough proof for but decided not to folow up on. WASHINGTON — The ...

Justice Dept. Turns Over More Than 64,000 Pages Related To Fast And FuriousNov 05, 2014
This caught my eye last night, but there was too much good stuff going on to post this. To me, the most telling sentence is: "In total, 64,280 pages arrived on Capitol Hill — all material that had been withheld from Congress by President Obama, who used executive privilege to keep the information from lawmakers." Now that the obstructionist Democrats are no longer in power in the Senate, maybe we can get some closure to all these scandals and hold people accountable for this, for Be ...

Little Oversight .. Home SchoolingOct 03, 2015
Here is a great article about home schooling in my state. The article states that home schooled kids are only required to take four standardized tests over the course of their education, but it doesn't say, that even if the child fails, there is nothing in place to cause them to be investigated or to remove their home schooling status. Otherwise, I think it was a good article. The contractor that reported this case is a friend of mine. He was appalled at what he saw happening to this child. ...

Obama Administration Yawns As Energy Dept.Sep 11, 2015
Two reports on Thursday should send alarm bells clanging to beef up the government's cybersecurity. Whether anyone in the Obama administration will hear them is another question.

Is it going to take a cataclysmic cyberattack before the Obama administration takes these threats seriously?” ...

Justice For Some RacistsFeb 27, 2017
Nice story on Fox News Atlanta today. "A judge sentenced two people to prison Monday for their involvement in a confrontation at a child's birthday party that involved weapons and the Confederate flag."

Nothing sweeter than the tears of racist rednecks getting their comeuppance for their act of terrorism against their fellow citizens. Story: http://www.fox5atlanta ...
