[WSJ] The U.S. Labor Department on Monday said it hasn’t made a decision yet on whether to delay Friday’s October jobs report, the final reading on the labor market before next week’s federal elections. (more…)
…. And Karl Rove kisses Juan Williams 🙁
I’ll quickly look for links to this breaking story but Fox News Coorespondant Jennifer Griffin is now reporting: “on the ground annex sources are telling her directly” when SEAL’s Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed orders to “stand down” they instead “walked” while under fire to the Consulate compound from the CIA Annex.
They walked there, approximately a half mile, retrieved the consulate employees, and walked them back to the Annex. Woods and Doherty were not in an armored SUV as previously reported. They were on Foot and they were taking fire while doing so. (more…)
(From Douglass J Hagman @CFP) According to the U.S. government, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed during a spontaneous protest at the consulate office in Benghazi by a frenzied crowd of Muslims outraged over an obscure internet video. Recently released “sensitive but not classified e-mails” from Stevens to the U.S. Department of State painted a picture of poor security for U.S. personnel and the embassy, which was obviously true but had little to do with the events of September 11, 2012.
The failure to dispatch an extraction team or otherwise rescue the men during a firefight that lasted upwards of nine grueling and tortuous hours was not the result of any intelligence failure, but caused by our unwillingness to widen the conflict and expose the nature and scale of our true mission in Benghazi.

But the Dear Leader loving U.S. Media is furiously working to beat back the fire…
Dionysius (II) was a fourth century B.C. tyrant of Syracuse, a city in Magna Graecia, the Greek area of southern Italy.
To all appearances Dionysius was very rich and comfortable, with all the luxuries money could buy, tasteful clothing and jewelry, and delectable food.
He even had court flatterers (adsentatores) to inflate his ego.
One of these ingratiators was the court sycophant, Damocles. Damocles used to make comments to the king about his wealth and luxurious life. (more…)
Funny how they never seem to “correctly calibrate” the voting machines until someone complains, huh? Oh yeah, and the Auto-Obama-Vote virus seems to have travelled from Greesboro to Jamestown and on to Pleasant Garden too… huh, funny that.
NORTH CAROLINA – It’s the little voting machine that could. In Guilford County, North Carolina, some residents who cast ballots for Mitt Romney found their votes switched to Barack Obama. Writes MyFox8.com:
[Bur-Mil Park voter] Sher Coromalis … says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she entered her vote the machine defaulted to President Obama….
Marie Haydock, who also voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location, had the same problem.
Well, ever since observing Al Gore, I knew that machines leaned Democrat. However, a North Carolina elections official posits a different theory. Again from MyFox8: (more…)
Generally, I retain a common sense approach at reviewing Media Bias. Either it is, or, it is not evident. Sometimes the accusations by conservatives about bias are reactionary; other times they are solidly founded. However recently, the overwhelming evidence of CNN bias and their specific agenda is becoming far less than subtle.
Subtle would be: The CNN Candy Crowley manipulative control of the Presidential debate #2.
Subtle would also be: The CNN removal of Intelligence/Security analyst “Fran Townsend” from the airwaves when the leaked state dept Benghazi e-mails hit the sunlight. They replaced her with a white house spokesperson. (more…)
Knowing what you know now about:
Now watch Obama answer questions:
Is he lying? You decide.
Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”
So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need? Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators. Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.
It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need? (read more)
