One odd incident might lend a person to ignore completely.  Like a flu that results in a slip n fall, which results in a concussion, which results in a “blood clot”…. all happening just before you are scheduled to testify before a congressional committee on Benghazi that might just contain questions that would destroy your carefully controlled career.

[…]  Sources close to the congressional investigation who have been briefed on what Thompson will testify tell Fox News the veteran counterterrorism official concluded on Sept. 11 that Clinton and Kennedy tried to cut the counterterrorism bureau out of the loop as they and other Obama administration officials weighed how to respond to — and characterize — the Benghazi attacks.  (link)

Two mysterious incidents, meh, maybe a little more attention.  Like, well, a fire that breaks out above your office in the State Department, and only above YOUR office – During the Thanksgiving holiday when no-one is around.

November 2012 – ….. an unusual fire breaks out, on a long holiday weekend, in the State Department building, in Washington DC, on the Seventh Floor [Office of the Secretary of State], and Eighth Floor [State Reception and only Public Tour venue] ……  You just can’t make this stuff up.  (link)

I’m not going to comment about what took place, you can watch it for yourself and decide.

However, there’s another aspect to think about.  This discussion panel mocking is reflective of their beliefs;  and they think it’s of value to broadcast their shallow mockery into peoples homes.
Just think about what level of intellect can actually reconcile such behavior.

Chattanooga Police arrest 32 violent criminals, drug dealers, and illegal gun sellers in a comprehensive multi-year sweep of criminals. The 32 people arrested in the crack down are all black. Immediately the regional discussion focuses on why all the arrests were black. Instead of addressing why the black community is killing itself, and others, with the drug dealing, drug culture use, violence etc. the community becomes more concerned with the race of the criminals against the backdrop of the arrests.

The Black Grievance Industry focuses on the perception of it being unfair to arrest unlawful members of society – because most, in this case all, of the unlawful members participating in the activity are black.

(News Channel 9) — Passions boil over at a community forum Thursday night where residents say a racial divide is splitting the city of Chattanooga. The forum was aimed at cutting down crime in the city.
It quickly turned from a discussion about fighting crime to an outburst of frustrations. (more…)

By now everyone is well aware of the New York Times article trying to point the blame of responsibility away from al-Qaeda in Benghazi Libya; the attacks on the U.S. compound in Benghazi which led to the death of FOUR Americans.
EVERYONE with a scintilla of intellectual honesty knows the Times Article is pure deflective Pro-Hillary propaganda.
It does not take words to destroy their insufferable claims.

The 2010 and 2012 class of Tea Party House Congressional members have done an outstanding job of holding the line amid attacks from both Democrats and Republicans.  Can you just imagine what legislative life would be like without their fight?
Ted Cruz appears on ABC This Week and discusses his meeting with them during the shutdown.   Jonathan Karl is just aghast at their united patriotic perspectives.

Were it not for the demands of the militant gay wing within the progressive caucus this Boy Scouting change would be of far less significance.    But… against the backdrop of recent events this change may just strike a more confrontational note.
However, that said, it seems obvious to me the storied ratcheting up of angst is just what the militant gays wants to happen.    There is no way all of these recent gender orientation events in the media could be considered *coincidental…..

[*I’m actually reluctant to post these continual media presentations because it might:  1.) just devolve into an anti-gay discussion, and 2.) play right into the intents of the media scripters.]

ASSOCIATED PRESS – The Boy Scouts of America will accept openly gay youths starting on New Year’s Day, a historic change that has prompted the BSA to ponder a host of potential complications – ranging from policies on tentmates and showers to whether Scouts can march in gay pride parades.
Yet despite their be-prepared approach, BSA leaders are rooting for the change to be a non-event, comparable to another New Year’s Day in 2000 when widespread fears of digital-clock chaos to start the new millennium proved unfounded.
“My hope is there will be the same effect this Jan. 1 as the Y2K scare,” said Brad Haddock, a BSA national executive board member who chairs the policy implementation committee. “It’s business as usual, nothing happens and we move forward.” (more…)

Yesterday we shared the story of the CoC announcing their intention to spend $50 million in order to protect and maintain establishment Republicans.     Yesterday the SCF (Senate Conservatives Fund) also sent out a distribution letter notifying supporters of the same issue.
However, the SCF misses the point when they note:

“The Chamber is pro-bailout, pro-stimulus, and pro-debt so it’s no surprise they want to elect more liberal Republicans.”

All of which is true but that’s not the primary impetus behind the current $50+ million for the 2014 election cycle.
The reason the Chamber of Commerce is willing to spend so much money to protect the Mitch McConnells of the world was openly discussed a few weeks ago when the Chamber President appeared on Neil Cavuto.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is heavily invested in two legislative constructs.   First, immigration reform.  Second, maintaining Obamacare.
John Boehner has promised to deliver immigration reform next year.  Nancy Pelosi openly admitted as such and it is widely expected to be the platform for President Obama’s entire State of The Union speech.
Bottom line – Establishment Republicans are going to deliver Amnesty legislation on behalf of the CoC request. (more…)

Because the economics behind this holiday season reflect the reality of fundamental change you probably will not see them discussed too much within the mainstream news; it just doesn’t fit the recovery narrative.
However, you don’t have to be an economist to understand Christmas expenditures.  It’s generally accurate that if your family spent less, the entire nation probably spent less for the exact same reason.
The worse news yet to reflect in the macro roll-up centers around Gift Card use.   Gift cards are not accounted for as economic sales on the shopping ledger until they are redeemed.  That statistic is yet to be determined.
(Via CBS)  […]  Deep discounts and extended hours could not get Americans to spend as much as stores expected this holiday season, so now retailers are cutting prices even more.
“Retailers overshot the mark, in terms of apparel supply,” said retail analyst Craig Johnson. “So there’s an imbalance of supply and demand in apparel, leading to all the dramatic promotions you’re seeing today.” (more…)

NEW YORK – CNN chief Jeff Zucker stressed in a year-end memo to staff that more changes are coming to the network in 2014.
“If you thought we did a lot in 2013, wait until you see 2014,” Zucker wrote in a memo published by Deadline Hollywood. “Real change that transforms an organization doesn’t happen overnight. I have talked a lot about broadening the definition of news. You have seen the start of that, especially at CNN, where we have begun to introduce new series, documentaries and films to augment our best-in-class breaking news coverage.” (more…)

Some people wonder why CNN is in such a poor state of viewership. In this clip from Anderson Cooper you can see exactly why the ratings of the media outlet are plummeting with exponential severity.
Most people know that Anderson Cooper is the son of fashion icon Gloria Vanderbilt, but look at this panel and you can understand why viewers tune out. Anderson’s panel includes gay activist and extremist Dan Savage, and gay activist and media reporter Andrew Sullivan. To them this is just a typical coffee table conversation – but when you think about it broadcast into peoples homes, well, you decide:
