Obama Promotes Benghazi Terrorism Talking Points editor to Assistant Secretary of State

 DailyCaller
The woman responsible for completely removing references to terrorism from the Benghazi talking points has been nominated by President Obama to become an assistant secretary of state.

Victoria Nuland — the State Department spokeswoman who famously altered the talking points regarding the Sept. 11, 2012 attack — will become assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs if the nomination clears the Senate.

It’s a toxic nomination for the president to put forward, particularly as congressional Republicans hammer the administration for failures in readiness and response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Nuland is a central character in those criticisms, having expressed “serious concerns” about any mention of terrorism.
Four Americans died in the terror attack, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens.

I KNOW...... WE'LL TEACH HER A LESSON SO SHE DOES NOTHING LIKE THIS EVER AGAIN, WE'LL PUT HER ON PAID ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE !!!

Obama Denies Role in Government

Posted by Andy Borowitz

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—President Obama used his weekly radio address on Saturday to reassure the American people that he has “played no role whatsoever” in the U.S. government over the past four years.
“Right now, many of you are angry at the government, and no one is angrier than I am,” he said. “Quite frankly, I am glad that I have had no involvement in such an organization.”

The President’s outrage only increased, he said, when he “recently became aware of a part of that government called the Department of Justice.”
“The more I learn about the activities of these individuals, the more certain I am that I would not want to be associated with them,” he said. “They sound like bad news.”
Mr. Obama closed his address by indicating that beginning next week he would enforce what he called a “zero tolerance policy on governing.”
“If I find that any members of my Administration have had any intimate knowledge of, or involvement in, the workings of the United States government, they will be dealt with accordingly,” he said

Man shot by FBI had ties to Boston bombing suspect

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A Chechen immigrant shot to death in Florida after an altercation with an FBI agent implicated himself in a triple slaying that officials believe may have been connected to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, authorities said.

Ibragim Todashev's Chechen roots and mixed martial arts background mirror that of Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old Boston bombing suspect killed in a shootout with police days after the April 15 terrorist attack. The two also had lived in the Boston area.

Todashev, a 27-year-old mixed martial arts fighter, was fatally shot by authorities early Wednesday at his Orlando home during a meeting with the agent and two Massachusetts state troopers, authorities said. The agent was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Three law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Todashev had lunged at the FBI agent with a knife. However, two of those officials said later in the day it was no longer clear what had happened. The third official had not received any new information.

The FBI gave no details on why it was interested in Todashev except to say that he was being questioned as part of the Boston investigation. However, two officials briefed on the investigation said he had implicated himself as having been involved in the 2011 triple-slaying in a Boston suburb that authorities believe may have been connected to Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release details of the investigation.

Public records show that Todashev resided in nearby Watertown, Mass., last year.           READ STORY

Impeaching Holder is a Good First Start

John Ransom | May 23, 2013        

Conservatives have alleged that progressives have been engaged in a callous attempt under this plutocratic administration in creating artificial crises so that the plutocracy can abridge citizens' rights.
I mean further than they’ve already abridged them.
And until now the press has ignored this vast right wing conspiracy theory time after time: Fast and Furious, Solyndra, TARP, HARP, Benghazi, the IRS, Gun Grabbing, Libya, Iran, Syria, Russia, stimulus spending, the Boston Bombing and the phony math on Obamacare.
Wisconsin’s Jim Sensenbrenner summed it up during a House hearing on Fast and Furious when he said: "There is really no responsibility within the Justice Department,"
He was right. But why stop there?
There is really no responsibility in the White House either; or at the State Department, the EPA, the FBI, the Department of Labor or the Defense Department.
Because Sensenbrenner should have included the executive branch of the federal government, the SEC, the IMF, SCOTUS, Congress and just about everyone from the rank of bird-Colonel on up in his indictment. The government has seemed strangely reticent about getting to the bottom of any of many missteps that the Obama adminstration has produced for years.
When Attorney General Eric Holder responded to the House committee on Fast and Furious by comparing those hearings to the hearings conducted by Senator Joe McCarthy in the 1950s on communists in government, the press was delighted.
“Have you no shame,” cried Holder in mock righteousness, displaying that the administration has neither shame nor a responsible adult in charge. 
His tone was a bit more mature once press reporters found out that they weren’t just allies of the plutocracy, but targets as well.
Holder went from mock righteousness to mock ignorance as he stood before the House committee investigating why his department decided to spy on press reporters, saying:
·      "I was not the person involved in that decision,"
·      "I am not familiar with the reasons why the subpoena was constructed in the way that it was because I'm simply not a part of the case."
·      "I do not know, however, with regard to this particular case, why that was or was not done."
·      "I simply do not have a factual basis for answering that question."
·      "Again, Mr. Chairman, I don't know."
·      "I assume he was, but I don't know."

We are excited and proud to present to you the latest painting by the brilliant artist Jon McNaughton. The painting is entitled "Liberalism is a Disease". Thank... you, Jon, for reaching out to us. We are honored.

There is a 2 minute video on his Facebook page that explains this painting further at http://on.fb.me/10PSdFY. We encourage you to go to his page, like it, and follow his work. It is amazing!

Jon shared with us his reasoning behind this painting and we absolutely love it! In his words "I like to paint pictures that express how I feel about what is happening in America. We have a disease. It’s infecting every aspect of our society and it’s time we did something about it. Some of these people I really like and some I don’t, but for the sake of our health, our children and our sanity, we need to take drastic action quickly. What if we could bring them all together, put them on a deserted island and quarantine them for say a hundred years? They believe they have the answers to everything, but every liberal idea I’ve ever seen has led to total failure. If they were right, their new island home would be a utopia before long. Let’s look at the most liberal communities in the country. New York City, Detroit, Chicago…how are they doing?

Yes, I say let’s quarantine them and let nature take its course."

How can we expect accountability when the investigators are linked to obama ?

U.S. Attorney Investigating Fox News Donated to Obama

                     

 

---

The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen - the man responsible for the aggressive surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News - is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns. At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit:  

Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama's campaigns. He gave $250 to Obama's U.S. Senate campaign in 2003, a year before Obama, then an Illinois state senator, emerged on the nation's political radar, according to campaign finance records. 

Furthermore, in June of 2012, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) questioned Attorney General Eric Holder about the appointment of Mr. Machen to head-up the leaks investigation. During the questioning Sen. Cornyn revealed that not only was Machen a donor to the Obama campaign, he was also a volunteer for Obama for America. Cornyn called into question whether he could conduct the leaks investigation in a fair and non-partisan way.

By Offering Statement Proclaiming Innocence In IRS Scandal, Lois Lerner Lost Right To Invoke 5th Amendment  

 

By Susan Duclos

Lois Lerner,  the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, attempted to have her cake and eat it too, so to speak, by offering a statement proclaiming her innocence in any wrongdoing, before stating that she was invoking her fifth amendment right.

By doing so, she lost her right to invoke the fifth amendment, according to House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, who says because of that Lerner will be hauled back to appear before the committee again.

Video of Lerner's statement below:


Via Politico:

Issa dismissed her from the committee room once it became clear she wouldn’t answer questions.

Lerner’s decision to speak at all immediately triggered a dust-up among lawmakers who were confused about whether she gave up her Fifth Amendment protections when she made an opening statement.

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), a former federal prosecutor, said Lerner lost her rights the minute she started proclaiming her innocence, and that lawmakers therefore were entitled to question her. But Ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings of Maryland said hearing rules were not like those of a courtroom.

During the incident, Issa did not flat-out say whether or not Lerner had indeed waived her rights but instead tried to coax her into staying by offering to narrow the scope of questions.

By the afternoon, Issa was taking a harder stand.

“The precedents are clear that this is not something you can turn on and turn off,” he told POLITICO. “She made testimony after she was sworn in, asserted her innocence in a number of areas, even answered questions asserting that a document was true … So she gave partial testimony and then tried to revoke that.”

He said he was not expecting that.

“I understand from her counsel that there was a plan to assert her Fifth Amendment rights,” he continued. “She went ahead and made a statement, so counsel let her effectively under the precedent, waive — so we now have someone who no longer has that ability.”

Had she invoked the fifth amendment from the very start, the legality of it would not be an issue, but by trying to publicly declare her innocence of wrongdoing before the committee, she in effect, started testifying without invoking her fifth amendment rights, then invoked so the committee could not cross-examiner her..

It should be interesting to see what legal experts have to say about this.

London terror attack leaves 1 dead near barracks

CASSANDRA VINOGRAD, AP

A tent is erected near the scene of an attack in Woolwich southeast London ...

LONDON (AP) — In a brutal daylight attack which raised fears that terrorism had returned to London, two men with butcher knives hacked another man to death near a military barracks Wednesday before police wounded them in a shootout.

In a shocking video broadcast on British TV, one man gestured with bloodied hands, waving a butcher knife in the air and shouting political statements against the British government as pedestrians milled about a body lying motionless on the street. Bloodstains coated the street.

British officials said the attack appeared to be an act of terrorism, possibly motivated by radical Islam.

The two suspects remained hospitalized on Wednesday night but their identities and that of their victim were not known. One of them was reported to be in serious condition.

4 Americans killed since 2009 in US drone strikes

PETE YOST, AP
1 hour ago

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that four American citizens have been killed in drone strikes since 2009 in Pakistan and Yemen. The disclosure to Congress comes on the eve of a major national security speech by President Barack Obama.

In conducting U.S. counterterrorism operations against al-Qaida and its associated forces, the government has targeted and killed one American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, and is aware of the killing by U.S. drones of three others, Attorney General Eric Holder said in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy.

Al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric, was killed in a drone strike in September 2011 in Yemen. Holder said three other Americans were killed by drones in counterterrorism operations since 2009 but were not targeted. The three are Samir Khan, who was killed in the same drone strike as al-Awlaki; al-Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman, a native of Denver, who also was killed in Yemen two weeks later; and Jude Kenan Mohammed, who was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan.

"Since entering office, the president has made clear his commitment to providing Congress and the American people with as much information as possible about our sensitive counterterrorism operations," Holder told Leahy, D-Vt. "To this end, the president has directed me to disclose certain information that until now has been properly classified."

"The administration is determined to continue these extensive outreach efforts to communicate with the American people," Holder wrote.

Let’s Exploit Liberal Hypocrisy

Kurt Schlichter | May 20, 2013

     

Some establishment types are shaking their heads as they warn conservatives that we must not politicize the Administration’s Benghazi bungling, its Obamacare shakedowns, its AP records grab or its IRS abuses.

Like hell we mustn’t. We must. Big time.
The last couple weeks’ revelations of fresh and compelling examples of the kind of duplicity and petty tyranny we conservatives have been screaming about for five years have presented us with what military folks call a “seam.” A “seam” is the border where two different units meet, and it is generally the kind of weak point you want to drive your forces into in order to split your opponent’s front and rout him. These latest scandals have revealed a seam between two elements of the liberal coalition, the liberals who actually believe some of what they say and the cynical leftists who merely crave power.
Let’s split that seam.
But to do so, conservatives must ignore the voices of the fussy and the fainthearted and ruthlessly exploit it. We can and should – and must – politicize the hell out of these shameful imbroglios         View Full Article

It’s Mutiny! (Dems Throw Obama Under The Bus)

Nowadays, picking a scandal to talk about is like shooting fish in a barrel – especially considering the last couple of weeks.

The DOJ acquiring Associated Press phone records…
The IRS targeting Tea Partiers…
Today there are whispers of an EPA scandal about to drop…
What could possibly be next? Audits delivered to us via drone strikes?
Truth is, any one of these scandals could spell the end for Obama. And out of all the chaos, the crème de la crème is still Benghazi. It has to be. American lives were lost.

Shocking Report: IRS Handed Out Nearly $100 Million in Bonuses Since 2009

Washington Examiner executive editor: “This is indicative of the culture of pay without performance.”

by Fox News Insider              

There is a new report by the Washington Examiner claiming IRS Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner took home tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses, and she is not alone. Nearly $100 million went toward agency bonuses since 2009 during the period when the IRS was targeting conservative groups, according to the report. Washington Examiner executive editor Mark Tapscott joined Neil Cavuto to discuss the findings.  He said that about 16,000 of the IRS’ 97,000 employees got bonuses that averaged about $5,500 per year. What were the bonuses based on? Tapscott said, “The civil service bases its performance award system on a number of factors, many of which are very vague, escape definition and generally leave a great deal of discretion to whomever you work for.  Trust me, they have very little relationship with the kind of bonuses people get in the private sector for actually producing.”  He added, “This is indicative of the culture of pay without performance, which is typical of federal civil service.”

Massive Pre-Positioning Of Armored Vehicles! – Houston Area Alert / Update On Houston From Former Military Intelligence Officer

Saturday, May 18, 2013 18:16

I have been told about a holding pen in the form of warehouses being used
to store armored vehicles. The holding location is the Port of Houston; I
believe it is a 21 mile complex. Port workers were surprised at the
discovery, some were asking questions. Far as types and numbers unknown at
this time.
These vehicle are being shipped at night on flat bed trailers and by box
trailers to avoid attention. I personally have seen trains with flat bed
cars loaded with armored vehicles in the Alvin, TX area. One was even
  parked in the middle of town on a side track waiting it’s turn to go. The
most I have seen is about sixty vehicles and support gear being moved at
one time.
I have been told that there are 12 DHS or FEMA preposition supply
warehouses in the Houston area. I have no way of confirming this. I believe
there is one in Alvin, TX. What I know of the building being used is that
it is owned by a military contractor. Has rent a cops there 24/7 and no
activity. Police have told me that they have received calls about activity
at the warehouse at night.

To the /libtard/trolls/koolaidaid drinkers/asshats who want to say we are picking on their messiah about the umbrella     incident ...here's some facts you can put into your pipe and smoke:

According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P10...20.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella.
The commander in chief of the American armed forces today forced a violation of Marine Corps regulations, so he wouldn’t get wet.
