I do not know if this story is true, but it has the smell of a good story, or a very intelligent plant, from Breitbart:
On August 12, Joe DiGenova, attorney for one of the Benghazi whistleblowers, told Washington D.C.’s WMAL that one of the reasons people have remained tight-lipped about Benghazi is because 400 U.S. missiles were “diverted to Libya” and ended up being stolen and falling into “the hands of some very ugly people.”
The story would explain the Obama obsession with its continuing Benghazi cover-up and Mrs. Clinton’s willful ignorance of what was happening in the CIA annex. So what did Mrs. Clinton know and when did she know it?

New Jersey governor Chris Christie continues to act like he wants to primary Mrs. Clinton in ‘Sixteen. Christie continues to act like a presidential wanna be, albeit a democrat version, from Dan Riehl, Riehl World View:
Christie is a belligerent smear merchant and to disagree with him means to be attacked. He also has more in common with Obama than he does much of the GOP. He should change parties and challenge Hillary in 2016 if he’s set on running for POTUS.
A belligerent smear merchant, sounds like a Mrs. Clinton with balls. The libtards will love him.
I’ve been watching the argument between Diana West and her new book, aand a number of detractors, recently. Most notable is Ron Radosh, a man for whom I’ve had respect for a long time And I admit to not having read Diana’s book as yet. I’m looking into obtaining a Kindle copy later tonight. In keeping with the issue of complete fairness, I should point out that Ron is a fellow writer at Pajamas Media, and also that I’ve quoted and vehemently agreed with Diana in these spaces on several occasions.
That said, I have read a number of the writings in reaction to that book, including that of Radosh, and I find a number of things about all of this very disquieting. Many of the side voices we see, (I think myself correct in including as an example, David Horowitz of Front Page Magazine, who now seems taken with running articles written by Radosh) seem to question the “methodology” of West.
What I see here seems to fit a pattern that I’ve seen previously. The fact of the matter is that what we have here is a number of people defending themselves desperately from the conclusions that West and her work draws. Now, that may seem strange at first, but bear with me. The people objecting to West, and her work, particularly Radosh, it seems to me, have invested years in a particular methodology… one that is revealed as being totally inadequate to the task and invalid in the extreme if we accept West’s conclusions about the socialist penetration into our government from FDR forward. The vehemence of the response from her attackers seems to confirm that feeling.
There is another subtext to all of this which I find equally disturbing. That being that west has a tendency to subscribe to the thinking of the tea party, whereas Radosh and his defenders… (more particularly his defenders I think ) have a tendency to side with the establishment GOP. It’s no secret that the GOP as it stands right now, at least the GOP leadership, has been remarkably pliant to the desires of the UnAmerican left. I find this angle worthy of investigation.
As indeed I do the rest of what I mentioned here. My investigation will continue and I will write to those points as I find them.
For the meantime, I think their little doubt that there is something more going on here than meets the eye. There always is when the back and forth is this loud.
In the beginning, God created Men and Women. Then liberal legislators decided to created the transgendered. What was good enough for God is no longer good enough for California. For normal people, life is simple. Either you have a Johnson, or you do not. That is except in liberal states, like California, when a person’s God given biological sex has been equated to a passing mental condition, from Daily News (New York):
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers approved a bill Wednesday that would require public K-12 schools to let transgender students choose which restrooms they use and which school teams they join based on their gender identity instead of their chromosomes.
Some school districts around the country have implemented similar policies, but the bill’s author says AB1266 would mark the first time a state has mandated such treatment by statute.
Existing state law already prohibits California schools from discriminating against students based on their gender identity, but the legislation that passed the state Senate on Wednesday spells that out in more detail, said Carlos Alcala, a spokesman for the bill’s author, Democratic Assemblyman Tom Ammiano of San Francisco
Human beings are conceived, and die as, either one of two sexes, to wit male or female. Sex is a biological fact is not mutable based on mental hysteria, confusion or deceit I was born a male, and even if I were choose to wear a dress and urinate in the girls room, I would still be a male. California is choosing terrorize normal, non confused school children, and give free rain for sexual perverts to stroll in any restroom they so choose.
I think it is time get a group of Hell’s Angels to start urinating in the women’s rooms in the Sacramento capital. Further, I think second string male athletes should join the girl’s teams and end female participation in high school sports. What say you?
Obama said at today’s presser he doesn’t think so. Given, however, what we know of Obama, and his definition of patriotism, it seems reasonable to suggest Snowden is in fact a Patriot, on the merits of Obama’s statement.
Leaving aside the issues involving the constitutionality of the actions of the administration, of course.
Addendum: (David L).
Barack Obama denies that Edward Snowden is a patriot. It is an opinion, and Obama is entitled to his. However Obama also denies he is running a domestic spying program. Given that Obama is too stupid to understand what domestic spying is, I doubt that he understands patriotism either.
Is Snowden a patriot? I say no. Patriots do not defect to Russia. However, the interesting question is who is more patriotic, Snowden, or Barack Obama? Snowden revealed Obama’s widely suspected domestic spy program. In contrast the Obama administration consistently reveals classified information to booster the President’s sagging popularity. For example, we had no need to announce the closure of several American embassies and the specific source and specific means used to gather it. I mean Franklin Roosevelt never used his fireside chats to reveal we had broken the Japanese codes. Whereas the Obama administration leaked they were behind the Stuxnet virus. It is an open question on which side are both Snowden and Obama.
Son of Addendum: (Eric)
David, I’ll give you this…His going to Russia would have closed your case on Snowden not being a patriot, 30 years ago.Such a conclusion would be a no-brainer.
However, that world is history. I think it was Edward Abbey, who said something to the effect that a patriot should always be ready to defend his country against his government.
Consider the reality we are presented with by recent history; In an America where Muslims shouting “Death to America” cannot, by White House edict, be considered to be terrorists, but veterans shouting “protect the Constitution” can, and are, what we we have is a case where Snowden’s escape from the hands of the Obama White House, seem a reasonable course for a patriot to take. If we consider the un-american actions and positions of this White House, we must consider the possibility that disobeying that government entity, and revealing it’s dirty laundry, is patriotic.
A letter from Ladar Levison:
My Fellow Users,
I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit. After significant soul searching, I have decided to suspend operations. I wish that I could legally share with you the events that led to my decision. I cannot. I feel you deserve to know what’s going on–the first amendment is supposed to guarantee me the freedom to speak out in situations like this. Unfortunately, Congress has passed laws that say otherwise. As things currently stand, I cannot share my experiences over the last six weeks, even though I have twice made the appropriate requests.
What’s going to happen now? We’ve already started preparing the paperwork needed to continue to fight for the Constitution in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. A favorable decision would allow me resurrect Lavabit as an American company.
This experience has taught me one very important lesson: without congressional action or a strong judicial precedent, I would _strongly_ recommend against anyone trusting their private data to a company with physical ties to the United States.
Sincerely,
Ladar Levison

Say it is not so Mr. President. The Obama administration is waging a war on our Constitution.

Then what do you expect from a kid who doesn’t even know how to properly wear his belt. I will not say the three assailants look much like Barack Obama might have say thirty-five years ago. Waiting for comment from the good reverends Jackson and Sharpton. Shame there were no Todd Beamers in Florida.
Has the global war on terror returned? Color me skeptical. The Obama administration declares a global man made incident alert, from CBS News:
The terror threat prompting the U.S. government to close nearly two dozen embassies and consulates Sunday is the most specific, credible threat information in years, CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports.
Intelligence officers have reporting from a reliable source that a major plot is under way and that the team to carry it out has been selected and is in place, Miller reports.
The threat information has been described as the most specific and credible since the foiled plot to blow up British planes en route to the United States in 2006, Miller reports. The specificity ends there.
What authorities don’t have is the date, the timing or the target of the attack, which is why they have taken such an approach to warning potential targets, Miller reports.
Call me old fashioned, but I always thought of specific in terms of who, what, when and where.
Reax, Larry Johnson, No Quarter:
Time to throw the bullshit flag. The Obama Administration, apparently envious of the skill of the Bush Administration in using the threat of terrorism to fuel the fears of citizenry, is out with its own dire warnings and drastic actions.
Now I am just an old retired enlisted man, but it seems to me that the thing to do when you have credible intelligence indicating a pending attack, is to keep your mouth shut and plan an ambush. I battalion of Marines with air support could decimate an al Qaeda attack. Plus doing so could get Obama elected Pope.
Let the 2016 presidential campaign begin, from Allah Pundit, Hot Air:
The grim joke today on Twitter, per the news about U.S. embassies across the Middle East closing this weekend due to terror threats, is that “Al Qaeda is alive and Detroit is dead.” There’s your Hillary bumper sticker for campaign 2016.
The late ambassador Chris Stevens was not available for comment. Welcome to the arena, Mrs. Clinton.

The Clintons, B.J. and Mrs. B.J., don’t think much of women, from Oliver Knox, Yahoo:
“Democrats can’t have it both ways when it comes to the treatment of women and they should have the courage to condemn any politician that assaults, harasses, or exploits women,” he continued. “Anthony Weiner’s behavior toward women certainly is no worse than Bill Clinton’s and Democratic candidates lose all credibility preaching about a so-called ‘War on Women’ while standing alongside Bill Clinton to raise money and boost their campaign war chests.”
While the immediate goal is 2014, the overall strategy has the feel of a war game for Hillary Clinton’s potential run for the White House in 2016.
The Weiner isn’t much of man, but unlike his political benefactor, B.J. Clinton, Weiner never raped anybody. Likewise, Likewise Huma Abedin is just another political opportunist wife, but unlike Mrs. B.J. Clinton, Abedin is not defending a known rapist. If Weiner is not morally fit to be mayor of New York City, how can Mrs. Clinton be morally fit to President? The President should respect and defend all, not just her husband.
This has become a standing joke, from Weekly Standard:
According to political reporter Salena Zito, today’s economic speeches by Barack Obama represent the 19th “pivot” for the president
If Dim Won a/k/a Dumbo b/k/a President Barack Obama spend half as much time working on fixing the economy than he pretending to pivot to fix it, the economy would not be in need of being fixed.

Chris Matthews, in no particular order, is an idiot, a liar and a racist, from Charlie Spiering, Washington Examiner:
Chris Matthews: ‘I’m speaking now for all white people’
During a conversation on race and racial profiling on MSNBC on Thursday evening, “Hardball” host Chris Matthews offered an apology to his guests on behalf of all the white people. “We got to continue this conversation, gentlemen, privately and on television,” he said. “I mean a lot of people out there – I’ll just tell you one thing. And I’m speaking now for all white people,…
As Tonto might say, “Who we Paleface?”
The only people who refer to a white race are racists, and I, for one, do not consent to have an full blown idiot like Miss Chrissy Matthews serve as my spokesman. Do you?
I want you to read the above link. Absorb it.
It tells the truth of the matter about the Trayvon Martin sorry, George Zimmerman case. A truth that will not be retold by the leftists running the press. You’ll never see Team Obama even mention anything in that column. I’ve reposted it elsewhere and was called a dispicable human being for doing so.
The fact is, Zimmerman’s instincts were spot on. And that, I suppose, is what rattles the left and the race baiters most of all.
