Have you noticed the mainstream media persistently and unanimously demanding that Democrat Hillary Clinton finally start answering serious questions on current events and policy?
Neither have we.
Do you remember the three days of negative press coverage, including sexist suggestions, that Rand Paul got just for pushing back on one reporter’s questions about abortion?
We do.
Did you hear about the guy who worked for the Clinton Foundation for five years then joined Egypt’s jihadist Muslim Brotherhood?
He and 35 of his cronies just received life sentences. Another dozen or so have been sentenced to death.
Impeachable Offenses by Aaron Klein and Brenda Elliott
New York Times bestselling authors show how Obama has fundamentally abused the powers of his presidency and has done serious, sustained and impeachable injury to American society. Offenses documented in the book include (but are not limited to):
How ObamaCare is not only unconstitutional but illegally bypasses Congress, infringes on states’ rights, and marks an unprecedented and unauthorized expansion of IRS power.
How Obama has sidestepped Congress and already granted largely unreported de facto amnesty for millions of illegal aliens using probably illicit interagency directives and executive orders.
How the Obama administration recklessly endangered the public by releasing from prison criminal illegal aliens at a rate far beyond what is publicly known.
The president’s personal role in the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attacks, with new evidence about what was transpiring at the U.S. mission prior to the assaults – possibly impeachable activities in and of themselves.
Illicit edicts on gun control actions in addition to the deadly “Fast and Furious” gun-running operation intended, the book shows, to collect fraudulent gun data.
From “fusion centers” to drones to alarming Department of Homeland Security power grabs, how U.S. citizens are fast arriving at the stage of living under a virtual surveillance regime.
New evidence of rank corruption, cronyism and possible impeachable offenses related to Obama’s first term “green” funding adventures misusing public funds.
How Obama has weakened America both domestically and abroad by emboldening our enemies, tacitly supporting a Muslim Brotherhood revolution, spurning our allies, and minimizing the threat of Islamic fundamentalism.

Senate Democratic leadership seem determined to toss aside Senate rules in its rush to cover Obama’s Morsi-supporting, Muslim Brotherhood arming, red line drawing backside.
September 4, 2013: The Senate Foreign Relations Committee narrowly approved a modified war resolution (10–7) with one member, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), voting present.
September 9, 2013: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is poised to bring the measure to the floor, then put the vote to the full Senate as soon as Wednesday, September 11, 2013.
According to Senate rules, hearings should be notified seven days in advance, business meetings should be notified at least three days in advance, and members should have 24 hours to consider legislative text before having to vote on it.
Not to mention that this coming Wednesday is the anniversary of the lethal 9/11 assaults on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, United Airlines Flight 93, and our embassy in Benghazi which were all perpetrated by the anti-American, Muslim extremists Obama has been funding, arming and is determined to send our troops to support in Syria.

Senate Breaks Own Rules in Rush to Vote on Syria War by Josh Rogin – Sep 4, 2013
White House source says Benghazi attack was botched kidnapping [1:39]
White House Source states Benghazi Attack was attempted kidnapping of Ambassador Stevens.Arranged with Muslim Brotherhood as ‘October Surprise’ by Obama, who wanted to make release of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman more palatable to American people and to boost sagging approval ratings.
REMOVED U.S. Special Forces from a red-hot danger zone;
INSTALLED local militia with ties to Muslim extremists to “guard” the embassy;
IGNORED multiple signs that attack(s) were being planned for the anniversary of 9/11;
DENIED multiple requests for additional security;
LIED for weeks after the attack about what they knew and when they knew it.
SHORT STORY LONG – Here’s the timeline I’ve pieced together, with URLs at the end:
2011 March: Obama authorizes a military assault on Libya’s Gaddafi government, without obtaining the approval of Congress that is required by law. Only 47% of Americans approve of Obama’s action.
2011 October: The leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, dies. While Gaddafi was admittedly a seriously major creep, he had at least been keeping Al-Qaeda out of Libya. Extremists move into the leadership vacuum left by his death.
2012 February: The U.S. embassy in Libya requests — and is granted — an extension on their Site Security Team (SST) composed of 16 Special Forces soldiers who provided security, medical and communications support to the embassy. The State Department says the SST can stay four more months. That sets them up to leave Libya in August, shortly before the anniversary of 9/11.
2012 March: Eric Nordstrom, the State Department’s Regional Security Officer, sends a cable to Washington asking for additional diplomatic security agents for Benghazi. He gets no response.
2012 April: Two men throw an IED over the consulate fence.
2012 May: Militant Muslims attack the Red Cross office in Benghazi, then post on Facebook that they’re planning something for the Americans.
2012 June: Unknown assailants blow a ginormous hole in the consulate gate. Four days later, the British ambassador’s car is ambushed by militants with a rocket-propelled grenade. Another threat appears on Facebook.
2012 July: Nordstrom again asks Washington for additional security for the diplomats in Libya. Again, he gets no response.
2012 August: Family members of the Libyan militia protecting the consulate receive warnings about an impending attack. Ambassador Stevens wants the 16-special forces SST to stay longer; Washington orders them to leave.
2012 September 8: Members of the Libyan militia protecting the consulate warn U.S. diplomats that the security situation is “frightening.”
2012 September 10: The day before the anniversary of 9/11, Ayman al Zawahiri, the man who took over as head of Al Qaeda after Osama bin Laden was killed, issues a public call for Libyans to avenge the death of his Libyan deputy, Abu Yahya al Libi, who was killed in June by a U.S. drone.
2012 September 11: American embassies are assaulted in 20 different countries. In Cairo, attackers scale the U.S. embassy walls and replace the U.S. flag with the Islamist banner. The consulate in Benghazi is attacked by about 20 heavily armed men. Our people in the White House, State Department, military, FBI and CIA watch the attack going down in real time.

Ansar al-Sharia: Translation “Partisans of Islamic Law” is an Islamist militia group in Libya that advocates for the implementation of strict Sharia law throughout Libya. Category Yellow: Homeland Security uses a five color-coded threat level scale to label the probability of a terrorist attack and its potential gravity. Red is severe risk; Orange is high risk; Yellow is significant risk; Blue is guarded, general risk; Green is low risk.
Late on the night of September 11 to 12: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issues a statement that “some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.”
2012 September 12: Media outlets report that Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans were killed in an attack by well-armed militants. Reuters reports that some administration officials believe the assault “bears the hallmarks of an organized attack.” Reuters also reports there are indications that members of both al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and Ansar al-Sharia may have been involved in organizing the attacks. President Obama says he does not believe the “outrageous and shocking attack” was simply due to a protest that turned violent, but he never mentions either the video or the word terrorism. He just says, “My suspicion is that there are folks involved in this who were looking to target Americans from the start.”
2012 September 13: White House spokesman Jay Carney says “the protests we’re seeing around the region are in reaction to this movie.”
2012 September 14: Carney says the administration had “no actionable intelligence” that a 9/11 attack was being planned.
2012 September 15: A CNN reporter walks through the unsecured crime scene at the Benghazi consulate and makes off with Ambassador Stevens’ personal journal. CNN reads and uses Stevens’ journal entries in news reports, citing it as an unidentified source “familiar with Stevens’ thinking” and saying the ambassador had been concerned about a “rise in Islamic extremism” that posed security threats to him and his staff.
2012 September 16: Susan Rice, Obama’s Ambassador to the United Nations, appears on multiple Sunday talk shows, saying again and again that a protest over the video was the “proximate cause” of the four American deaths. Libya’s interim president Mohamed Magarief says the assault in Benghazi was not a spontaneous protest, but “was planned, definitely.”
2012 September 19: National Counterterrorism Center Director Matthew Olsen testifies before the Senate Homeland Security Committee that the assault was an “opportunistic” attack in which armed terrorists took advantage of an on-going protest. (Olsen was appointed to the position in 2011 by President Obama.)
2012 September 20: President Obama says, “What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests.” CBS reports that witnesses in Benghazi say there was no protest prior to the armed assault against the consulate. White House Press Secretary Carney declares it “self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.”
2012 September 21: Secretary of State Clinton says “what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.”
2012 September 25: In his address to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama makes repeated references to the video, but never mentions terrorism. Then he goes on ABC’s The View and, when asked about Clinton’s statement that “what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack”, Obama blames “extremist militias” and says “we’re still doing an investigation.”
2012 September 26: Libyan president Magarief tells NBC there was no protest prior to the armed assault against the consulate.
2012 September 27: Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says it’s “clear that there were terrorists who planned that attack.”
2012 September 28: The Director of National Intelligence (DNI), James Clapper, issues a statement kinda sorta taking the blame for maybe saying there had been a protest that got out of control. (Clapper was appointed by Obama in 2010 and is subject to his authority, direction, and control.)
2012 October 3: FBI investigators finally arrive at the crime scene in Benghazi, which has been unsecured since September 11. (One wonders what exactly constituted all the alleged “investigating” Obama et al. had been claiming they were doing. Isn’t securing the crime scene the FIRST thing you’re supposed to do?)
2012 October 6: U.N. Ambassador Rice says when she was yapping on all those t.v. shows about the video, she had “relied solely and squarely on the information the intelligence community provided to me and other senior U.S. officials.”
2012 October 7: The White House Disinformation Campaign on Libya Summarized [2:52]
2012 October 9: Senior State Department officials for the first time acknowledge that there was never any protest in Benghazi. Then they blame the whole “blame the video” thing on the intelligence community.
2012 October 10: Both Lt. Col. Andy Wood (head of the SST the State Department pulled out of Libya in August) and Eric Nordstrom (the State Department’s Regional Security Officer) testify at a House Oversight Committee hearing about how their repeated requests for more security in Libya were denied by Washington. Their testimony is confirmed by cables made public by Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).
2012 October 11: During the vice presidential debate, Biden says, “We weren’t told they wanted more security there.” He also blames the administration’s shifting explanations about the attack on the intelligence community.
2012 October 22: Members of the February 17 Brigade tasked with guarding the Benghazi consulate say that, on August 28, 2012, they received a tip about a possible attack on the diplomatic compound and that on the morning of 9/11, the consulate asked them to increase security, but later, for some unknown reason, said to never mind.
2012 October 23-24: ABC, CBS and Reuters all release the three emails reproduced above. Reuters notes, “The timing of the emails is consistent with what a senior State Department official told reporters at a briefing on Oct. 9.”
2012 October 24: When asked about the emails, White House spokesman Jay Carney said the White House knew about those emails as soon as they were received. The word he used was “instantaneously.”
2012 October 26: Fox reported that three urgent requests for military assistance for the Benghazi consulate were sent from the CIA annex. SOMEBODY told the CIA operators they were to stand down. Two former Navy SEALS, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, were at the CIA annex. They wanted to go help defend the consulate. They were ordered to stay put, but DISOBEYED that order. Both died heroically, trying to protect the ambassador and his staff.
I was talking about all this with Dearest and mentioned my blog of Oct 15, 2012 (see URL below) where I showed how President Carter’s approval ratings had gone above 50% for four months after our Tehran embassy personnel had been taken hostage. And I said, “I bet Obama was pissed they murdered Stevens instead of taking him hostage.”
Dearest said he would not be at all surprised if Obama had actually organized the whole thing. I was skeptical at first, but when he laid out his reasoning, I had to admit, disgusting as it is, it’s also plausible.
Suppose Obama made a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood, or somebody like them, to swoop into an unprotected compound on 9/11 and take Stevens hostage. And suppose that it was only because Doherty and Woods disobeyed orders to sit on their hands that said attackers found themselves getting shot at by two highly trained Navy SEALS.
Would not the likely outcome be that the attackers would assume they had been taken for suckers and take out their anger at Obama by publicly brutalizing and murdering the guy they were supposed to just kidnap?
Keep in mind, please, that we have NO EVIDENCE this is what happened. It just seems to make a lot of sense of all of the above, KWIM?
Consider if Stevens had been kidnapped and the American people had acted the way we usually do, rallying around in support of our leader during a time of national crisis. We could easily have been headed toward a sure Obama win on November 6th.
We may owe our national salvation to two heroic Navy SEALS. Had they survived, they would surely have been court-martialed. They knew that and ran into battle anyway, because it was the right thing to do.
It would be poetic to learn this is all true, seeing as it was Navy SEALS who risked their lives to get Osama bin Laden, only to have Obama claim all the credit then blab their identities and operational secrets to our enemies.
The White House has seized on the lame excuse of blaming 20 Middle East countries in flames over a stupid movie.The Libyan President has said the attacks were months in planning.McLame said protesters don’t bring RPG’s and heavy weapons to a demonstration.No matter,Obamao will use any excuse to defer blame from his disastrous foreign policy.Of course,the media will dutifully report anything he says as gospel.We all see what’s going on and it’s so frustrating to watch him get away with it.The Obama regime and the state department have circled the wagons and will take no more questions on why they took no action when reports said they were warned up to three months before the planned attacks to comemmorate 9/11.
Madame pantsuit personally ordered no Marine security for the Libyan embassy,but Valerie Rasputin received full Secret Service protection for her vacation to Martha’s Vineyard last week.
The Chicago teacher’s union got a new proposal late last week.Moby Dickless said they had to have 2 days to look it over.Apparently they had to find a kid who was educated in private school to read it to them.Yesterday they summarily rejected the proposal and Tiny Dancer is threatening to go to court to order them back to work.I heard an audio this morning from Karen Lewis saying ‘the elephant in the room is the closing of 200 schools.’ I always thought the elephant in the room was that brown behemoth.
It seems Romney is in a difficult position.Republicans want him to define what his plans would be as president and the administration sits on its hands waiting for their media lapdogs to shred anything he says to detract from this epic failure.Polls go up and down but it seems some repubs are panicking because they think obama should be dead and buried by now.
In Wisconsin the libs found a sympathetic judge in Madison to rule the collective bargaining rights law was unconstitutional.Of course,this will be overruled,but they never quit.They are fighting to get the voter ID law overturned,but the SOS said they would enforce it anyway.
This is being posted late because our power went out about 7AM as I was in the middle of typing this and just came back on 4 hours later.Oh,well.Caught up on some reading anyway.
A NOSTALGIC OBAMA USES WEBCAST TO RALLY HIS IOWA ROOTS
This man’s resentment over not being the center of attention constantly borders on the pathological.Remember he tried to call a joint session of Congress to talk about nothing to interrupt the first Republican debate? He has a sick need to insert himself into every conversation.Too bad there is no substance to him.
NEWT TO RUN FULL PAGE AD AGAINST ROMNEY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
I think Newt truly dislikes Mittens because he’s the only one who can fund himself.40% of the negative ads in Iowa were against Gingrich and paid for by Romney.
According to House rules and that darn Constitution,he can’t do this while Congress is in session.The GOP has been having sessions every third day so they are not legally in recess.That doesn’t matter a whit to this assclown.Won’t do what I want?Screw you,I’ll do it anyway.Try to stop me.
SNUFFLEUPAGUS:ROMNEY’S REASSURING OF CONSERVATIVES WILL ‘TURN OFF’ MODERATES
I was flipping through channels last night and accidentally landed on MSLSD for about 15 seconds. Rev. Tarbaby and Butch Madcow were on the panel. Rev. was chirping about the farther right Romney went the more moderates and independents would be drawn to Bozo. Sorry,Al. That dog won’t hunt. Independents are fleeing the plantation master in droves. Better get your vote fraud machine fired up–you’re gonna need it. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/scott-whitlock/2012/01/04/stephanopoulos-spin-romneys-reassuring-conservatives-will-turn-mod-0
