Trey Gowdy – Did you apologize because you “said it”, or did you “meant it”?
Unfortunately the details of her murder are so horrific to comprehend they make the current racial anxiety in the headlines seem small, yet also potentially more explosive.
…When the fire department got there, she was walking down the road on fire. […] They squirted lighter fluid down her throat and in her nose…
Yes, Jessica was white; and no, by all accounts her killer(s) were not.

If the insufferable politicos can get beyond their talking points there might be something of value to be learned. Alas, history does not lend to a sense of confidence in the latter goal, or the former disposition.
WASHINGTON DC – MIT professor and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber will testify on Capitol Hill Tuesday [today] about his role in selling the 2010 healthcare law to “stupid American voters” through deception and non-transparency. The hearing will be held by the House Oversight Committee and Gruber will have to field questions from Chairman Darrell Issa and angry lawmakers about the legislation.
Gruber became infamous just a few weeks ago after a Philadelphia financial consultant and citizen blogger started pulling and publishing multiple video clips of him at various events discussing Obamacare. During those events, Gruber admitted the redistribution of wealth in the legislation was purposely covered up along with the fact that Obamacare is indeed a tax. (read more)

To quote the Obama administration: “Call it the stupidity of the American voter, or whatever“, but for obvious reasons the beltway oxygen is being sucked into telling the story of the Senate Committee Intelligence report on “Enhanced CIA Interrogation Techniques”, while ignoring the fact that another pentagon report has yet to surface.
As the CIA report is breathlessly awaited by the leftist storytellers, and media – but I repeat myself, almost no-one is asking about releasing the Army investigation into Bowe Bergdahl which has been complete for three months.
Obviously one report, the CIA report, allows a story to be told which will disparage U.S. interests; the other report, Bergdahl, represents a political risk. To the latter, back in October as the investigation was announced to be complete:
[…] Army spokesman Wayne Hall said the review process likely would be lengthy, and that “the Army’s priority is ensuring that our process is thorough, factually accurate, impartial, and legally correct,” according to the report.
The Army is looking into whether Bergdahl had deserted his post in Afghanistan or was away without leave before he was captured, which would be violations of, and punishable, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. (link)
Alas, the CIA interrogation report appears to hold a more favorable opportunity for story telling: (more…)
(MediaIte) In the 2014 midterms, independent candidate Greg Orman nearly unseated GOP incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS), but eventually lost by a ten-point margin. This was sad for the Democrats — not just because it helped the GOP take over the Senate, but also because a Democrat-affiliated Super PAC had secretly poured $1.5 million into his race.
According to documents filed to the FEC and found by Bloomberg,, Senate Majority PAC, run by former advisors to Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), quietly donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to two pro-Orman Super PACs after October 16th. This is important, because this magical time after this date is known as the “veiled disclosure period”: Basically, people can donate millions of dollars to a PAC during this time, and legally, do not have disclose this transaction until after the election. (Technically, it’s not secret money, but it kind of is.) (more…)
