(New York Times) The former Port Authority official who personally oversaw the lane closings on the George Washington Bridge in the scandal now swirling around Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said on Friday that the governor knew about the lane closings when they were happening.

In a letter released by his lawyer, the official, David Wildstein, a high school friend of Mr. Christie’s who was appointed with the governor’s blessing at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridge, described the order to close the lanes as “the Christie administration’s order” and said “evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference” three weeks ago.  (continue reading)

Initially the politically correct and fearful authorities did not want to admit this was a crime of specific intent.   However, once they were going to release the bus video they needed to back-track and admit the actual motive.    If they did not admit the obvious their PC-ism would have been widely recognized by the public.

FLINT, MI – Police say a Mass Transportation Authority bus driver was punched in the face as part of the so-called “knockout game” that’s gained national attention.

The “knockout game” has been blamed for attacks in several cities and involves suspects punching strangers for no reason.

The Flint bus incident occurred around 6:40 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, when a man was attacked while driving the bus.

The driver suffered several facial injuries, according to police. Another teen filmed the incident as it took place.

Police originally said the incident occurred because one of the suspects was upset about having to pay a bus fare, but further investigation showed it was a planned attack, said Flint police Capt. Collin Birnie.

“This was planned, orchestrated and filmed,” he said. (more…)

Last night Sean Hannity interviewed Rand Paul and Ted Cruz together on his 10pm Fox show.   The discussion included points of contrast between conservative principles and establishment Republican positions.

However, the very last question put to both of them was whether or not they will help up and coming conservatives with endorsements or support in the GOP primary races?

Rand Paul said: “I will stay out of any race that involves an incumbent“.   Looking toward Paul, Ted Cruz responded: “I’ll likely do the same“.

Sorry folks, but that makes them both self-serving fraidy cats. (more…)

Behind the scenes, groundwork has been laid for a federal government confiscation of your tax-deferred retirement accounts such as IRAs.  They’ve been quietly working it through backroom committees since 2007.  You see, Uncle Sam has a spending habit….and he’s got it bad.   Now, he sees Americans with $19.4 trillion in retirement savings, and he’s generously offering to help them manage it.  What could possibly go wrong?

We point out the liberal media bias with such frequency it can actually numb your psyche to what’s actually taking place.    However, this video presentation is exceptional in showcasing just how biased the media is to protect President Obama and liberal political narratives.

Watch as CBS spits figuratively on Thomas Jefferson’s Free Press:

Any questions ?

President Obama and his administration fully supported and formerly endorsed Egypt’s now deposed President Morsi.

Morsi is on trial for opening the jails, releasing the Muslim Brotherhood members, and for aiding in a jailbreak of convicted terrorists and murderers.

Remember, despite the concerns of the Egyptian people…. Hillary Clinton glowingly endorsed this man.

Go to the :30 moment in the video.   Morsi is behind bars in the courtroom pacing like a wild animal and then as soon as the judicial panel sits down he begins yelling:  “who the hell are you”?  “Do you know what I am”?  “What I will do to you”? (more…)

Ever since Obama took office rumors have been running rampant about the possible seizure of people’s IRA funds…or plainly stated, the government generously helping to manage your retirement savings.  Wait no longer.  Buried towards the end of the following AP report is the following:

… Obama will also announce executive actions on job training, boosting employment opportunities for the long-term unemployed and expanding retirement savings for low- and middle-income Americans.

The retirement savings proposal is geared toward workers whose employers don’t currently offer such plans. The program would allow first-time savers to start building up savings in Treasury bonds that eventually could be converted into traditional IRAs, according to two people who have discussed the proposal with the administration.

Although this isn’t yet the mandatory IRA, it’s certainly a step in that direction.  Remember what they did in Poland?  Don’t worry…I’m sure the government is just trying to protect your retirement account from terrorists.

When Clinton, Rice and Power launched operation R2P in Benghazi Libya they specifically helped the Libyan “Rebels” to overthrown Kaddaffi.   This gave the al-Qaeda operatives, who made up the majority coalition of the “rebels”, immediate access to weapons warehouses and massive stockpiles of ManPads (Man Portable Air Defense Systems), otherwise known as surface to air missiles – the missiles were a specific manufacture coming originally from Russia.   20,000 such missiles immediately went missing.

This past weekend one of those missiles was used.

All five soldiers in the helicopter were killed, security officials said.

“This is what everyone has long assumed could happen, and it is a confirmation of those fears — that substantial and advanced weaponry came into the country in the aftermath of the Libyan war,” said Michael Wahid Hanna, an Egypt scholar at the Century Foundation in New York.

New York Times – Islamist militants shot down an Egyptian military helicopter in the Sinai Peninsula with a surface-to-air missile over the weekend, raising new alarms about the terrorist insurgency that developed there in response to the military takeover last summer.

 WASHINGTON — An Oklahoma congressman said Monday that he will host Charles Woods, father of former Navy SEAL and Benghazi terrorist attack victim Ty Woods, at Tuesday’s State of the Union.

“As a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, I understand the importance of knowing that America leaves no one behind. I am honored to host the father of a true hero,” Rep. Jim Bridenstine, Oklahoma Republican, said in a statement.

His office characterized the invite as a way to make sure the September 2012 attack in Libya “will not be forgotten” in the House chamber, where President Obama will deliver his speech.

Woods was one of four Americans killed that day, in what authorities have concluded was a terrorist assault on the U.S. diplomatic outpost and a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya. (read more)
