Video: Rep. Jason Chaffetz's fiery speech on House Floor over Fast and Furious

This is strong stuff. There were two things that prompted Rep. Jason Chaffetz to speak loudly and forcefully to Democrats on the House floor today. The first has to do with an amendment to a Department of Justice spending bill. That amendment would prevent the use of taxpayer dollars from being used to lie to Congress, a clear reference to the February 4, 2011 letter Assistant Attorney General Ronal Weich signed that DOJ withdrew nearly one year later. The second was a plea to demand that Eric Holder comply with the subpoena that's been issued to DOJ with respect to Fast and Furious.

Democrats almost never break ranks, even when they know they're wrong but Fast and Furious is Watergate with murder. If the Republicans are resolved enough to see that fact get beaten into the consciousness of the American people, Democrats will be forced to break from their Party. It's really that bad. The question is: do Republicans have the stomach to go there?

Chaffetz shames the Democrats here.

Video Timeline: the Obama Administration's Gay Marriage Evolution

There always seems to be a new social issue that the Obama administration is either manufacturing or in the middle of. The latest involves gay marriage. It started with Vice President Joe Biden (no surprise there) and his appearance on Meet the Press this past Sunday.

Keep in mind that Obama's public position has been that he supports civil unions but that he is against gay marriage. Public opposition to gay marriage is strong and it's become rather obvious that Obama wanted to wait to come out in support of gay marriage until after the election. That's not going to happen because Biden reached into the pantry, pulled out a can of worms and grabbed a can opener.

Here's the VP endorsing gay marriage:



That exchange with Gregory led to an uncomfortable round of questions for White House press secretary Jay Carney, who has become quite adroit at impersonating a human pretzel.

See for yourself, via MediaIte:



After having his position on gay marriage mocked for more than 24 hours, Barack Obama came out today and told ABC's Robin Roberts that he supports gay marriage. Watching this, it should be rather obvious that Obama did not want to do this now; he wanted to wait until after the election.

Here ya go:



Now, Obama in 2008 at Saddleback Church:



Which brings us back to Joe Biden's "who do you love" comment...

Video: How Illegal Aliens get big Tax Refunds from IRS

In short, illegal aliens are allowed to work in the U.S. Since they don't have social security numbers, they are issued another type of identification number. With that number, they are allowed to take advantage of what's called an Additional Child Tax Credit. They have figured out that the more children they list on their returns, the more money they get back.

So what do they do? They list nephews and nieces.... who LIVE IN MEXICO!
