(Via Heritage)   Last week’s closed-door testimony by five CIA operatives who witnessed the attack on the U.S. special mission in Benghazi has finally created an opening for the congressional investigating committees.

The five CIA contractors, who testified in closed-door hearings before the House Intelligence Committee Thursday and Friday, were stationed at the “CIA annex” in Benghazi, about one mile from the U.S. special diplomatic mission. This was the facility that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tasked Ambassador Chris Stevens to turn into a permanent consulate, even though security staff there was totally inadequate.

I am so angry, I can barely type.  The only reason Harry Reid changed the rules today is because the Democrats are constructing a second term bailout of President Obama, while solidifying his legacy.  This maneuver today will effect generations.

It cannot be emphasized enough how TODAY, November 21st – 2013, will go down in history as the single most definitive day when your life changed.    The entire construct of the balance of constitutional checks and balances has been tipped.   THIS IS ABSOLUTE TYRANNY ! 
Obama/Reid have previously presented the most radical judicial nominees to federal courts all over the nation.    They have been blocked by the lack of minority consent – that is the intention of the Senate.    This is not a change to “filibuster” per se’, the use of that term is just obfuscation to make what has been done seem unimportant or technical.   What Obama/Reid are doing is blocking, avoiding, ignoring the concept of “minority consent”.   The concept of “minority consent” allows a minority to protect themselves from the tyranny of the majority.
Obama/Reid have just destroyed the essential framework of freedom and liberty protection that was cemented into the building blocks of our government by Thomas Jefferson.
President Obama will put the most radical of the federal judicial appointments on the DC 5th circuit.
The DC 5th district court of appeals hears most of the cases surrounding constitutional issues and challenges against legislation stemming from Washington DC.
What Obama / Reid are doing is insuring those legal cases/challenges can be squashed before they reach the Supreme Court.   This cements the ability of unconstitutional legislative bricks to set and destroy individual liberty and individual freedom.
Today, EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE CHANGED – You just haven’t noticed yet. (more…)

Rut Roh.   More exposure for Dems behaving badly, very badly.  In this latest case a  Director of Obamacare Navigators is exposed admitting his intent to collect personal data for use in establishing files or lists of enrollee information for political purposes.

Yesterday in the New York Post –  In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.
The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.
And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.
Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.
And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today (link)

On October 6th 2012 we posted the following article and video (copied here to set backdrop): (more…)

UPDATE – Oops, original post had wrong link to McDonough article —  Fixed now, Sorry.

WASHINGTON DC – […]  McDonough, speaking privately to Democrats in a closed session Thursday  afternoon, said the president’s hands were tied, to an extent, in trying to move  the policy to fit his promise.
“We do not have a deal where everyone who has received a cancellation notice  that they can re-buy. We can’t mandate that,” he said,  according to sources present. But, he argued, the new policy shifts the  burden for cancellations to state insurance commissioners and insurance  companies — an important political distinction. If a tea party Republican  contends that someone lost his or her insurance because of the law, McDonough  said “that is absolutely untrue.”
At one point, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) asked why the White House isn’t  doing more to blame insurers for policy cancellation notices.
McDonough replied that there are good actors and bad actors in the insurance  industry.
“I think it is dangerous to paint with a broad brush,” he said.  (LINK)

In essence Obama’s “fixer”, Denis McDonough, is saying there are people in the Insurance industry who are “with us“, and there are some “against us“.

The problem looks like this: (more…)

Coast to coast car salesmen are rejoicing, their paychecks are about to get massive increases as their sales commissions are about to skyrocket.  According to new definitions stemming from the White House, and new regulatory definitions from President Obama and his regulatory team, a customer “test drive” will now qualify as a sale. 

Yesssssir !!   Lucky Day, Lucky Day.

It has yet to be determined what impact this might have to the share value for auto-industry stockholders, or quite frankly the financial divisions who actually make up the bulk of the profits, but that’s just a pesky detail to be worked out.    
Here are the semi-full details so far: (more…)

Back in August the New York Times reported a national energy “Grid Test” was scheduled for November called “Grid Ex II”.      The pdf outlining the test has been removed/disabled (?).   Can anyone confirm this is going to happen Wednesday the 13th?   The Day after tomorrow.
WASHINGTON — [August 16] The electric grid, as government and private experts describe it, is the glass jaw of American industry. If an adversary lands a knockout blow, they fear, it could black out vast areas of the continent for weeks; interrupt supplies of water, gasoline, diesel fuel and fresh food; shut down communications; and create disruptions of a scale that was only hinted at by Hurricane Sandy and the attacks of Sept. 11.
This is why thousands of utility workers, business executives, National Guard officers, F.B.I. antiterrorism experts and officials from government agencies in the United States, Canada and Mexico are preparing for an emergency drill in November that will simulate physical attacks and cyber attacks that could take down large sections of the power grid.

It’s interesting to see how really smart people define the persona of President Obama.   Many psychological descriptives are generally discussed, assigned and presented for consideration by some insightful people.   All of whom are far, far smarter than I.
But, after watching Dear Leader in action for 5+ years, most of the presented descriptions just don’t fully reconcile for me personally.
I just don’t see him as that smart.
Nor do I think he’s cognitively pathological, emotionally narcissistic, or other various types of [ insert your favorite behavioral science aspect here].   I just don’t see it.
President Obama is a front-man, a dupe, a ruse or a puppet.   He just seems more Milli Vanilli than all of that traditional stuff which would put him as the coordinator, or even as an active participant.
Now, don’t get me wrong – the previous definitions would apply to his band; and I could rightly agree if his band was called the “Malignant Narcissists“.  Yes, that I could agree with. (more…)

….. “um, just because the cat had kittens in the oven, it don’t make em’ biscuits”…

There are many people talking about President Obama and Secretary of State, John Kerry, being so willing to sell out Israel by negotiating with Iran.
Indeed a deal to let the Iranians’ off the sanction hook was damn near pulled off, were it not for the French.
Yes, you read that right, France – the quasi socialist fromage’ nation which has elected an avowed Socialist to it’s head, yet the body electorate is increasingly returning to nationalism.  Go figure…..
…..But, well, then again, we have a right-of-center U.S. electorate body right here who have re-elected a self aware socialist in our White House.   Strange times, strange times.  I must digress.
The point is – were it not for France, President Obama and John Kerry would have given the Iranian Mullahs a win.   Why?
Despite the geo-political international 3-D chess game which might be sold as an explanation, nothing could be further from the truth.   Obama just needed a win – any win.
When you look historically at five year Political Obama, when the media pundits line up to deconstruct him [see obamacare] he will pull off a distraction for no other reason than to put a perceived BIG DEAL in his immediate resume’.
The deal is given a bold headline so the resume’ reader does not note the failure just afore it. (more…)
