On August 12, Joe DiGenova, attorney for one of the Benghazi whistleblowers, told Washington D.C.'s WMAL that one of the reasons people have remained tight-lipped about Benghazi is because 400 U.S. missiles were "diverted to Libya" and ended up being stolen and falling into "the hands of some very ugly people." DiGenova represents Benghazi whistleblower Mark Thompson. He told WMAL that he "does not know whether [the missiles] were at the annex, but it is clear the annex was somehow involved in the distribution of those missiles." He claimed his information "comes from a former intelligence official who stayed in...

During a sit-down interview with Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith, Anthony Weiner said he knows what his wife’s role will be in a Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign, but he’s “not telling.” That’s a big admission because it seems to be the first open verification of a Clinton run. And now the Clinton camp is firing back at Weiner saying it has no idea what he’s talking about.

President Barack Obama will give the Presidential Medal of Freedom ("PMF") to former President Bill Clinton, a man who was found by a federal judge to have lied to her face while under oath, at the same time his job description required him to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. The judge found Clinton in contempt of court. Obama now has the same job as Clinton did, so Obama must know something about the importance of national security. Yet Obama is giving the PMF to a man who endangered national security for his personal gain. During the investigation...

Everything is going swimmingly here on Walled-in Pond. Now that our case goods have arrived (a week without Cheetos is like a vacation without sunshine) the home seems to be stocked with most of the necessary amenities. There was a brief bit of drama over the artwork in the living pavilion. Certain people in the  vacation party felt it was a bit too stark, what with all those black and white pictures of…white people hanging on the walls. So we had our interior decorator ‘copter in on one of the Ospreys with Little Bo to spruce things up with a...

The Mainstream (Establishment) Media is trying to once again do the Republican vs Democrat thingy: that Obama has proposed some serious (cough, laugh) changes to the NSA spying program, and those wascally wepubs (Rep. McCaul and Peter King (R-GOP-e) are trying to thwart him. I never thought that I would see a recent liberal rally where hundreds marched (not reported by the MSM-e) where a person would be carrying a sign that said Snowden, patriot and Pelosi, traitor. And even the New York Times (Editorial Board, June 6th: Obama administration has lost all credibility on the issue of the NSA...

I don’t know when it became OK for people to be so open about the weird stuff they are into. I have always lived by the code whatever you do is fine as long as I don’t have to see it. It’s been a mantra for decades. However, since the dawn of the internet people have been very happy to share things about themselves that not everyone wants to know and most of it is downright obscene.

"Madam Presdent" the title on the NY Times Article. Can't excerpt as it is copyrighted. Would Maureen Dowd ever use this title on a female Republican or Tea Party Candidate?

(SNIP) Big Guy will do a fly-by “Meet the Press” at 3:00 where he and TOTUS will deliver a few comments to deflect criticism, deny culpability, accuse “Washington” of “taking their eyes off the ball” and blame Fox News for ginning up phony scandals; all while feigning just the right amount of anger and indignation balanced with a dollop of that refreshing youthful insouciance that makes Big Guy so irresistible. (SNIP) And we also announced this year’s list of recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom yesterday. The headliners for this years awards are Bill “Big Dawg” Clinton and Oprah...

The White House announced that President Barack Obama will award the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, to 16 recipients including television star and businesswoman Oprah Winfrey, legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee and former President Bill Clinton. “The Presidential Medal of Freedom goes to men and women who have dedicated their own lives to enriching ours,” Mr. Obama said in a statement released by the White House. “This year’s honorees have been blessed with extraordinary talent, but what sets them apart is their gift for sharing that talent with the world.” Mr. Obama will award the medals...

The seeds of the IRS targeting of conservative groups were planted by Eric Holder in 2001 when as deputy attorney general under President Bill Clinton he convinced incoming Attorney General John Ashcroft to seize the building of a conservative megachurch, says the church’s retired pastor. “Our church was taken over by the IRS in 2001 based on the recommendations of Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder to incoming Bush Attorney General John Ashcroft,” said Greg Dixon, former pastor of the Indianapolis Baptist Temple. “The church was the sacrificial lamb to pave the way for the future targeting of conservative groups. We...

Why was Big Guy on Jay Leno’s show last night? Because he had important issues he wished to discuss with world leaders and the American people. First, for Vladimir Putin, BO wanted to let him know that he’s “disappointed” with him for granting Edward Snowden asylum. "There have been times where they slip back into Cold War thinking and a Cold War mentality. What I continually say to them and to President [Vladimir] Putin, 'That's the past. We've got to think about the future.'" Putin winks Obama blinks Unfortunately, just like with those pesky Islamists, if they are at war...

If you can’t win, you might as well go down swinging. At senior citizens. At an AARP-Univision mayoral forum this morning, mayoral contender Anthony Weiner pulled out the age card to taunt his most vocal challengers, 69-year-old Doe Fund founder George McDonald. Weiner is 48. Before the debate, Weiner put a hand on McDonald’s back and said hello, prompting McDonald to reply: “I would appreciate if you would never touch me again.” Weiner retorted: “What are you going to do about it, grandpa?” according to two sources. A mild overreaction by McDonald, but in his defense, who knows where that...

In his first interview since his supervised release from prison, the filmmaker behind “Innocence of Muslims” told The Daily Caller that he “has no regrets” and promises more films and books about Islam. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula is the only person who has been imprisoned in the aftermath of the organized Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in which the ambassador and three other Americans were killed. He was wholly unconnected to the attack and was imprisoned on technical probation violations. “The first reason I am writing this book is to tell the world we...

On Monday, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's campaign launched an online campaign to pressure television stations across Virginia to not air "Fast Terry,"a documentary Citizens United has said was the "movie Terry McAuliffe does not want you to see." As Breitbart News reported, progressives in Virginia, in addition to state Democrats who already rejected McAuliffe once as their party's standard bearer in 2009, are worried that the film will permanently define McAuliffe as a heartless plutocrat who stiffed working class Virginians of all races. The film, which details McAuliffe's questionable business dealings and how he promised to build an electric...

A newly discovered tape of a phone call from Monica Lewinsky to President Clinton is said to vindicate the contention that the former President was “the innocent victim of a sexual predator.” On the tape the then 19-year-old White House intern can be heard offering to take her clothes off and hoping the President will “do what I want.” “We said all along that Lewinsky was a stalker,” former First Lady Hillary Clinton said. “The emergence of this tape proves we were right. A youthful seductress lured an older man with a legendary reputation for kindness toward younger people into...

This, of course, depends on your definition of hot. Quinnipiac’s poll today takes the political temperature of presumed 2016 presidential contenders without actually measuring support for their potential bids. The top two contenders don’t exactly surprise, but the story changes when looking at the intraparty results: New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are the hottest politicians on today’s Quinnipiac University Thermometer of voter attitudes toward the nation’s major political figures. The four lowest scores went to the congressional leaders of both parties. A surprise third place on the Thermometer goes to newly-elected Massachusetts Sen....

Jonah Goldberg, with an unerring eye toward focusing on what really matters, poses the question, what is so great about Hillary Clinton that makes her the obvious Democratic nominee in 2016 and the inevitable next president of the United States? I would add another question. What makes Ms. Clinton so much better than another well known female politician, namely Sarah Palin? Goldberg points out that Ms. Clinton doesn't really have any accomplishments to point to during her long career, as lawyer, first lady, senator, and secretary of state. She hasn't actually said anything of interest, except perhaps the ghoulish dismissal...

Andrew Cuomo has finally noticed no one, including him, has paid any real attention to the needs of upstate New York, but his actions and lack of actions tells us nothing has really changed. Governor Cuomo declares he is finally going to focus on improving the upstate economy, saying, “There has been no upstate focus…downstate dominates the legislature, because that’s where the people are.” We know, Governor; we’re the wan tail attached to that Great Dane, New York City. Whenever they twitch, we are wagged.

In his book Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky states “Tactics are those conscious deliberate acts by which human beings live with each other and deal with the world around them. In the world of give and take, tactics is the art of how to take and how to give. Here our concern is with the tactic of taking; how the Have-Nots can take power away from the Haves.� p.126Saul Alinsky’s 13 “power tactics� are inconsistent with Catholic teaching and prove to be anti-Catholic as you will see below. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and current community organizers have followed and do...

Similar to Imam Obama's, her presidency would be an historic first in many ways. Former Republican presidential candidate John McCain recently called Ms. Clinton a "fine" Secretary of State and observed that he would find it "tough" to choose were she and Senator Paul to be opposing candidates for the presidency in 2016. Senator McCain makes "tough" choices poorly -- like his RINO colleagues -- so why should he bother?We, however, need to make some choices and they need not all be "tough" ones. Mike at Make an Effort today contended, The only viable option left to us is a reformation within...

After three years on a vegan diet, former President Bill Clinton says he doesn’t crave steak. But cutting back on bread has been tough. "Heavily processed carbs, you really have to control that," Clinton told AARP in a recent interview about his eating habits. The former president, now 66, went on a strict diet after a health scare in 2010, and he says he's kept it up. [snip] Clinton, famous for his hearty appetite in the White House, has admitted before that he cheats sometimes.

You might think that the greatest hat trick artist of all time was Wayne Gretsky. You'd be talking hockey, and you'd be right. A hat trick, as many know, is 3 goals or more during a single game. This applies, as well, I believe with soccer. In this short piece, however, we wish to discuss the neo-hat trick of the Democratic Party. A neo-hat trick is scored by any of the democrat's beautiful frauleins who can make a simple claim: kissed by Filner, sexted by Weiner, and propositioned by Clinton. (We must point out that we mean, Bill...) How instructive...

A sex tape that Monica Lewinsky recorded for Bill Clinton at the height of their scandalous affair has leaked, during which the former White House intern is heard planning a secret sexual rendezvous with the president and declaring she is “too cute and adorable” to be ignored. On the audio tape obtained by The National Enquirer, Lewinsky at one point tries to seduce the commander in chief: “I could take my clothes off and start… well… I know you wouldn’t enjoy that? I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I...

I found this article on Instapundit last night: “PROTOZOAN RELATIONSHIPS: Social amoebae travel with a posse, have amazingly complicated social lives.”  It appears scientists have discovered a single-celled organisms that are actually “farmers.” Apparently they tote around two strains of bacteria wherever they go. One strain acts as “seed corn” to grow additional bacteria that then serve as an energy source for the “social amoeba” it travels with. The second strain of bacteria is a weaponized version of the first, butt since it’s toxic it provides protection for its host. Clever little protozoa: packin’ both guns and butter. Butt I...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is once again being honored with an award for her public service. Clinton will receive the American Patriot Award from the National Defense University Foundation at a gala dinner on Nov. 14. The award is given to “leaders who have strengthened America’s strategic interests and advanced global security,” according to a press release. “As First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton tirelessly worked to support and defend our nation and our allies around the world,” said Al Zimmerman, chairman of the NDU Foundation Board of Directors, in the release. Former award...

Republican Ken Cuccinelli has taken the lead in one Virginia gubernatorial poll as a federal investigation involving his Democratic opponent Terry McAuliffe’s business practices threatens to become “very damaging” for the Democrat. An impending Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General’s report is expected to be “very damaging” for McAuliffe, a Virginia political insider told The Daily Caller. “If your name is being brought up in Senate confirmation hearings, it’s not likely that it’s going to blow over,” according to the insider.

The major motion picture, the mini-series, and now — the documentary: CNN Films has tapped documentary filmmaker Charles H. Ferguson to direct a feature-length documentary about former Hillary Clinton, POLITICO has learned.“CNN is very pleased to be working with Academy-Award winner Charles Ferguson on the film, which will be released in theaters and air on CNN,� Allison Gollust, the network’s senior vice president of communications, told POLITICO on Monday.

Yesterday, CNN announced it was joining the parade of film projects on Hillary Clinton in the run-up to her likely campaign for president in 2016. It will produce a feature-length documentary, directed by liberal filmmaker Charles Ferguson, for release in theaters and then later show it on the network. It joins two other projects on Hillary that have been announced recently: a theatrical film called Rodham about Hillary’s days as a young lawyer on the Nixon House impeachment committee and a four-hour mini-series on Hillary starring Diane Lane that will appear on NBC. Politico reported that the sudden pile-on to...

That all depends on the meaning of  "sex" "phony."But I''m a GOOD little boy.There is a procedure through which the Obama Scandals can be deemed to be phony regardless of the facts. Consider the procedural device attempted to be used to "deem" ObamaCare to have been passed by the House without voting on it. Hence, anyone prepared to deem something false to be true or vice versa can easily deem any or all of the Obama Scandals phony. There are also other useful ploys. Some common definitions and synonyms for "phony" are provided at the link. In a bipartisan effort to be fair -- in...

BREAKING: US Benghazi Hero Waited 20 Hours For Help With a Shredded Leg – While Obama Campaigned in Las Vegas Diplomatic security agent David Ubben, like former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, ran into the Special Mission Compound (SMC) to help save US officials under siege in Benghazi. Ubben was struck by a mortar round that killed Woods and Doherty. His leg was shredded. Ubben was forced to wait twenty hours before a plane was sent to pick him up. While Ubben was waiting for help with a shredded leg Barack Obama was campaigning in Las Vegas.

It seems we will never be rid of the Clinton cancer. The name Terry McAuliffe ought to ring a bell. He was Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and is a major pal of the Clintons. For a time he was Chairman of Green-tech Automotive. Wonderful things happen to the Clintons and to those around them. Hillary made $100,000 in cattle futures and Terry McAuliffe turned a $100,000 investment in Global Crossing into $18 million. And here's how he did it: To whit: McAuliffe was a young business hustler with a glad-handing, back-slapping, used car salesman style from the get-go....

Clarksdale, Mississippi (CNN) -- Beaten. Dragged. Burned. The words leave attorney Daryl Parks' lips like a barrage of gunfire in the sanctuary of Chapel Hill Missionary Baptist Church, where people have gathered not for prayer but for answers. Some wear "Justice for Marco" T-shirts. They are enraged over the investigation into the death of Marco McMillian, a young black gay mayoral candidate, whose broken body was discovered dumped downhill from a Mississippi River levee on February 26. Parks' words suggest the most heinous of murders. Here in the Mississippi Delta, they conjure even more: a chilling history of racial hatred....

Down memory lane: 20-years ago today - the Clinton's personal lawyer, Vince Foster, turned up dead in Fort Marcy Park On a Monday night in July 1993, a 48-year-old lawyer called Vince Foster was found dead in a park near Washington DC. He had died from a gunshot wound to the mouth and his father's .38-calibre revolver, dating from 1913, was at his side. [Snip] In real life, Vince Foster was distraught at the prospect of being grilled about the shady affairs of Hillary Clinton. A clear case of suicide, then. Or was it? As the months passed, wild rumours...

The early stages of the 2016 presidential campaign are already underway. Hillary Clinton has held a steady, arguably insurmountable lead for the Democratic nomination, while the Republican nomination is much more fluid. Senator Rand Paul is the frontrunner, thanks to a drop in support for Senator Marco Rubio in Iowa over immigration reform. At this point, Clinton can essentially walk in and take the Democratic nomination. In Iowa, wins an incredible 71% of the vote. Of course, pundits will argue that Clinton seemed inevitable in 2008, but that was only because it was assumed that then-Senator Obama would not run....

The  Black sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, celebrated their 100th anniversary this week (imagine that: a BLACK sorority that’s 100 years old! In racist America!). And it seems that everybody and their grandmother helped them celebrate. Big Guy met with them yesterday afternoon. Ricky met with them on Monday to make his own critical points on the state of race relations in America. Echoing his famous 2009 speech about America being a “nation of cowards” on the issue of race, Ricky told the group that: (SNIP)“We must not – as we have too often in the past – let this opportunity...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is offering her prayers for the family of Trayvon Martin and, in her words, "every family who loves someone who is lost to violence." Clinton says this week has brought "deep, painful heartache" to many Americans. She says no mother or father should ever have to fear for a child walking down a street in the United States. Clinton discussed the case briefly during a speech Tuesday at the 51st national convention of a historically black women's sorority, Delta Sigma Theta. They are her first public comments on the slaying since George Zimmerman's...

I swore, no more discussion of the Zimmerman case. Butt then I read that Ricky was looking into charging him with a federal hate crime: murder “animated by racial hatred.” Wow! That’s surprising, considering that the jury didn’t believe George Zimmerman was racially motivated - or a murderer, the FBI couldn’t find any evidence of racial animus in his actions, and now this story, which seems to corroborate the fact that George Zimmerman was not only not a racist, butt an advocate for racial equality (h/t Gateway Pundit): …a drunk adolescent son of a Sanford police official attacked a homeless...

Hillary Clinton's apparently inevitable victory in the Democratic presidential primaries could hit a roadblock due to her age, former White House candidate Howard Dean says. "She's of my generation, not of the new upcoming generation out of the Barack Obama generation," said the former Vermont governor who was, for a time, front-runner for his party's nomination in 2004. "That's the only weakness she's really got." Dean told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that he believes Clinton, who will be 69 by the 2016 election, will face a primary battle and not be crowned as nominee. He said Govs. Martin O'Malley of Maryland...

Hey, if she can get them to pay it, far be it from me to argue that anyone should stop it from happening. Supply and demand, baby. It’s the same reason I have no problem with ballplayers making more money than some guy working to cure cancer - because when private parties freely enter into an agreement, God bless them. And they are, as the Washington Post reports: In the six months since stepping down as secretary of state, Clinton has addressed apartment-complex developers in Dallas, private-equity managers in Los Angeles and business executives in Grand Rapids, Mich. Still to...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie 46 - 40 percent among American voters in an early look at the 2016 presidential election, compared to her 45 - 37 percent lead in March, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. The former New York senator has a healthy 55 - 38 percent favorability rating, but the lesser known New Jersey governor has a 45 - 18 percent favorability, including 41 - 19 percent among Democrats, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. American voters blame both parties for gridlock in Washington, but they...

Being without friends is no fun. Remember that scene from The Bride of Frankenstein, the one with the old hermit? “Alone, bad,” the monster noted. “Friend, good.” Of course, Frank burned down the old hermit’s cottage, but that is the chance one takes when breaking bread and smoking cigars with a big, strong stranger who has a bolt through his neck. There are days when Uncle Sam must feel that no one likes him, what with people taking leaks on him, waging war against him, or burning down his houses. So, when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, she decided...

We’re still three years away from the 2016 general election and two and a half years from the Iowa caucus, but Hillary Clinton has already managed to grab top-rank political talent on the Left. Does she risk getting too far ahead of the pack and making herself into a punching bag for up-and-comers over the long haul? National Journal’s Jill Lawrence wonders if Hillary is peaking too soon for her own good: Crack organizers from President Obama’s campaigns are the latest political honchos to join the Clinton-for-President movement and, like others involved, they say they are just trying to make...

And I thought I was never going to warm to this kid... It's time- for JUSTIN OK, he's a ROYAL a-hole who can't sing and smokes/drinks too much- how's that any different than John Boehner? If Ted Cruz and Rand Paul don't pan out, maybe we'll have to run Bieber in the 2013 Republican primaries: at least he'd have a wrap on first-time female voters- of which we probably get about 5% right now. Seems to me 'beliebers' and the hopenchange crowd would have a large overlap of clueless sheeple- and ole Justin might be the only way we'll ever win over enough of them...
