Before you read this excellent consideration by Clare Lopez outlining the serious possibility for Turkish involvement in the Benghazi attack, it is important to remember how close President Obama is to Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.   Erdogan is a severe islamist and both Obama and Erdogan are very friendly.

What she outlines in this report is extremely alarming to consider, given the nature of President Obama and Erdogan’s personal friendship and given the nature of Turkey’s involvement with the Syrian uprising.

(By Clare Lopez)  If reporting from the Washington Times is accurate, it looks like the Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin was in on the plot to attack the U.S. mission in Benghazi. According to an October 27, 2012 report, Libyan witnesses from the Benghazi neighborhood where the U.S. compound was located told reporters from the Associated Press (AP) that “150 bearded gunmen, some wearing the Afghan-style tunics favored by Islamic militants began sealing off the streets” leading to the facility “around nightfall.” (more…)

video added…..  If anyone was watching Fox News with Greta Van Sustern last night you witnessed an explosive interview with former Col Bing West. West outlines, once again, with specific certainty, that it is impossible for President Obama to have done what he has said he did. If President Obama said to Secretary Panetta and Chairman of Joint Chiefs Dempsey, “do whatever you need to in order to protect our people”, then an execute order would exist from Panetta / Dempsey to Africom General Ham to take action.

General Ham has publicly stated he received no such Order, or even a “request”, he has recently been replaced as Africom commander, and shockingly is now retiring: (more…)

The progs are proclaiming the gift of Dear Leader responding appropriately to the continuing disaster of Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy.   Indeed, yes, it appears that President Obama has actually engaged himself in a Regional Weather Disaster and a Regional emergency response.

Yeah, he’s doing his job.   But, *ahem* I hate to be all captain obvious but that is HIS job.  The number one job of ANY President is the safety and security of it’s citizenry.   So, yeah, he deserves the recognition that he is actually doing his job.

Sad, however, that we have lowered the bar of expectation to such a level we now congratulate the leadership of our nation for doing ‘what they are expected to do’,  No?  Have “we” lowered the expectation, or did an inept Presidency lower the expectation? (more…)

For any other President, with any other media, at any other time in our nation, this story alone would lead to impeachment…..   Congressional Oversight Committee has specific fact-based proof that President Obama collaborated with the Dept. Of Energy to steer green energy/stimulus funding money into Nevada to support Harry Reid’s 2010 election.   They openly admit as such.

WASHINGTON – President Obama claims that political considerations did not influence the Energy Department’s green energy loan program, but newly-released internal emails show that his administration subsidized Nevada companies in order to help Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., win his 2010 reelection campaign.

“And these are decisions, by the way, that are made by the Department of Energy, they have nothing to do with politics,” Obama said last week when asked about the green companies that have gone bankrupt despite receiving taxpayer support. (more…)

Mayor Slurpee McDonut does not want the visible admission that his city is looting central.    (Daily Mail)   Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz has begged for the National Guard to be called in and put a halt to an outbreak of looting after the superstorm.

SMASH AND GRAB: A woman appears to be making off with “kicks” at Mello Magic Sneakers on Rockaway Beach Boulevard yesterday.  (New York Post)

‘New York Governor Cuomo also acted quickly by activating the National Guard prior to the storm, and I urge him to allocate as many troops as possible to Brooklyn—troops from New York or any other states that can spare them,’ Mr Markowitz said in a statement.’ (more…)

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.” -Alexander Tytler

Hopefully everyone made it through the storm safely.   Please check in when you can and let us know what impacts your area is feeling.   Do you have power?
