Air Force whistleblower: We could have saved Benghazi victims

An Air Force whistleblower says his team could have provided reinforcements to the Americans under attack in Benghazi in September 2012, contrary to the Obama administration's claims that the military provided the maximum possible support for the embattled diplomatic staff.

"I definitely believe that our aircraft could have taken off and got there in a timely manner, maybe three hours at the most, in order to basically at least stop that second mortar attack and have those guys running for the hills," a man purportedly stationed at Aviano Air Force base in Italy told Fox News on the condition of anonymity.

We'll see how this plays out but several news sites are reporting that Russia claims to have over 20,000 of Hillary's emails. This could be a big problem for her. If she'd have followed fucking protocol this wouldn't have happened. And she wants to be president? I say fuck to the no!!!

Haven't you been paying attention, Steveo? Monker says Hillary gave the Kremlin permission to hack into her server. Sources deeply embedded inside the KGB speaking on the condition of anonymity called into TMZ today and said the Clinton Foundation had more porn on its hard drive than Xtube, SpankWire, and PornHub combined!

Yup. I'm trolling and loving it!

Gee, looks like Hillary has a double standard when comes to equal pay for women. It's OK as long it isn't coming out her bank account.

Gingrich: Hillary’s ‘Candidacy Would Collapse’ If Voters Knew the Clinton Foundation Pays Women 38% Less Than Men

Nobody’s defended it, nobody’s explained it,” he said of this wage gap. “If we can get across to every woman in America that here’s somebody who says all these strong words, but by the way, her foundation that she and her husband control pays men 38% more? Every time you hear her talk about her concern for women, just remember, they pay men 38% more at the Clinton Foundation.”

Gingrich is wrong. Hillary supporters are some of the least informed voters in American and will vote for her regardless of ANYTHING.

Hillary is counting on Obama to pardon her. Her and cop killer, Mummia. Probably Madoff too.

If she is charged, I wonder if "the wheels of justice" will move fast enough on the case to convict her this year? If not, then Obama wouldn't be able to save her.

I believe that he can pardon for crimes commited whether charged yet or not. I am not sure he would want to tarnish his legacy by pardoning her regardless. He doesn't gain by doing it and stands to have his name linked to condoning her foolishness for all of history if he does.

LOL, that scumbag has no shame, plus ya can't polish a turd. In regards to a "legacy", that would be the legacy of deceit and failures, one right after the other, seven full years and counting of that to be exact. O.B.A.M.A. - One Black Angry Male Asshole.

In regards to pardoning. I'm pretty sure they'd have to convict her before pardoning can be done. If they pardon before she's been convicted, wouldn't that mean she's guilty before due process in determining that she's guilty in a court of law? BTW - the skank ho is guilty as all sin.

Wow, I didn't realize Nixon was impeached and convicted before Ford pardoned him. You are so wise. Not.

You all do realize that the NSA probably has ALL of Hillary's Emails, and yours, and mine, and everybody elses...plus all of her phone calls, and faxes,etc....you all do know that, correct?

[The_Noble_Cause]

You all do realize that the NSA probably has ALL of Hillary's Emails, and yours, and mine, and everybody elses...plus all of her phone calls, and faxes,etc....you all do know that, correct?

And you do realize that separate intelligence agencies notoriously don't share information right? So what makes you think that the FBI knows what the NSA knows? For all we know, the NSA just uses complex algorithms to search for certain keywords in transmitted data. The NSA spying dragnet does not in any way invalidate what Hillary did.

Nixon was NOT impeached.

Wow, you are just so smart and up to date on things. That was just brilliant. JBlake must not have known that. If he wasn't impeached, then Ford couldn't have pardoned him, as JBlake knows.

Ah, OK. Just thought you all forgot that stuff that Snowden re-revealed. It does seem to take about 10yrs before people forget about it and someone new has to re-reveal this 'secret'.

[tj]

The only Presidents who have had articles of impeachment drawn against them are Andrew Johnson after the civil war and Bill Clinton. Neither were removed from office.

Nixon resigned when he knew that impeachment was almost a certainty. Ford pardoned him so that the country could move on. That move is what most historians believe cost him the 1976 election and gave us Jimmy Carter.

[The_Noble_Cause]

Ok. And do you realize Snowden has said repeatedly that Hillary's server got hacked by foreign governments? And that Hillary, an alleged "liberal" whose party helped end Vietnam by leaking the Pentagon Papers, considers Snowden a terrorist and wants him extradited? Snowden is probably the worst person you could mention to make the case for Hillary.

[Boomchild]

Found this quite humorous.

[Boomchild]

So just because Obama is a bigger racist, by liberal standards, then Trump, Hillary is about to lose a large block of voters.

Federal authorities plan to begin a series of targeted raids to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants, according to a government source who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

It's too bad that we don't hold illegal immigrants in detention centers like Australia does. That way it would simplify this process of deportation.

Before yesterday if I was out looking to pay and see a movie, if George Clooney's name appeared as one of the actors of a movie I was considering paying to watch, it wouldn't have effected my decision to pay the money to see it. Well. after hearing what he had to say politically yesterday, if I see that shit bags name on a movie I will spend my money elsewhere. Looney Tunes Clooney, SHITBAG!

Doing the math, Clinton has 2240 deligates to Sanders 1473. According to the Washington Post, 712 of Clintons Deligates are "Super Deligates". I had always heard it was 812, but WOPO says 712. With that math, Sanders trails Clinton by 55 Deligates without the "DNC fix". No wonder the DNC and Shultz are hammering Sanders to quit today. Myself, I don't see the Sanders voters voting for Clinton after they get screwed. Some of them will vote for Party, but I think many of them will go Trump or sit home. I don't blame them. Myself, I told people if Trump won, and the RNC put someone else in, I wouldn't vote. I don't see why Democrats would be different.

http://www.politico.com/2016-election/r ... nt-tracker

I see a lot of Sanders voters staying home. They won't vote for Hilary or Donald. Same on the Republican side with Trump. A lot of Cruz/Bush/Kasich/etc. voters will stay home as well. Too late for a 3rd party to make an impact this year, so it should be fun to watch.

[JBlake]

And Hillary knew nothing about this? Hahahahahaha......right. Just like everything else from this scumbag family.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/05/13/fl ... tcmp=hpbt4

Like to see who else was on those trips. Looney Tune Clooney?

[JBlake]

Trump and the RNC are smoothing things out. Only the hardcore like Graham, who got nothing while running, the Bush family and other RINO's are pouting about Trump. I see many, like myself, who were for several others voting for Trump now. His numbers are spiking.

What's also interesting is no matter what local media outlet I turn on over the radio, all the dems and libs are only talking about Trump. Only Trump this, only Trump that. It's like no one else is running, well of course until they mention whose side they are on. Funny. They mention Trump 99.9% more of the time than they do AzzBern & Skankary.

Uranium One again.

Ron says that he is “fully aware” of Hillary’s liabilities, yet concludes:

On foreign policy, there is more hope that [she] will take a course that asserts American leadership abroad.

You mean like the "reset button" strategy with Russia and the decision to take out Muammar Gaddafi in Libya? Give me a break. What is this guy smoking?

And that will only benefit Trump in the end. He is playing the media like a fiddle and they don't even recognize it.

CBS Head Les Moonves - "The money’s rolling in and this is fun. I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going."


Trump may be playing the media, but it's a symbiotic relationship. The fact that neither of you realize this, tells me you are the ones ultimately being played.

[steveo777]

I've never seen anyone like this guy (Trump) and I've seen a lot of elections in my lifetime. As polarizing as he is, I can't see how he doesn't get elected, if not just for the novelty. What do we have to lose? We've been having all these establishment politicians all these years. He might just be a breath of fresh air.

Lois Lerner Scandal Could Lead to Impeachment of IRS Chief
Rob Garver,The Fiscal Times

The long-simmering war between Republicans in Congress and the Internal Revenue Service is escalating, with the news that the House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings that could lead to the impeachment of IRS Director John Koskinen.

Koskinen, an experienced businessman who later moved into public service, was brought in to run the beleaguered IRS in 2013 after the revelation that conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status were targeted for special examination by IRS officials.

He stepped into a firestorm in taking the job. Congressional committees were already investigating the agency and Koskinen was frequently brought up to Capitol Hill to face intensely hostile questioning from lawmakers, frequently regarding things that happened before he arrived at the agency. The agency’s admission that it had failed to retain all the work emails sent and received by Lois Lerner, a key figure in the scandal, followed by a series of other failures to produce additional emails and the destruction of computer equipment that GOP lawmakers described as evidence, further soured Koskinen’s relationship with lawmakers.

In October of last year, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, introduced a motion to impeach Koskinen. “Commissioner Koskinen violated the public trust,” Chaffetz said. “He failed to comply with a congressionally issued subpoena, documents were destroyed on his watch, and the public was consistently misled.”

On Friday, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Virginia Republican who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, announced two hearings, the first of which will take place on May 24 and will review the results of the oversight committee’s investigation into Koskinen. Koskinen himself will be invited to testify. In the second hearing, lawmakers will hear advice from outside experts as to whether or not impeachment proceedings are justified.

“The fact that officials at the IRS wielded their power to target certain Americans for their political views is both outrageous and contrary to our nation’s values,” Goodlatte said in a statement. “Our government is supposed to work for all Americans, not for a particular partisan agenda. As a result of the IRS’ targeting, conservative groups were singled out across the nation, resulting in lengthy paperwork requirements, overly burdensome information requests, and lengthy, unwarranted delays in their applications.

“Despite repeated congressional efforts to get to the bottom of this matter, Obama Administration officials, including the IRS Commissioner, have consistently undermined the investigation. Over the coming weeks, the House Judiciary Committee will closely examine Commissioner Koskinen’s misconduct and the implications of his actions.”

The IRS had not commented on the announcement as of Friday afternoon.

Obama and Valerie Jarrett were behind this from the beginning. They couldn't care less if this guy gets impeached. He's more than disposable. It's a waste of time.

I would vote for Trump, but if he picks a Republican hack as VP, I can't. Why is he even meeting with Paul Ryan? Ryan represents the exact type of phony establishment politics that voters rejected. If voters cared about Paul Ryan's views on Conservatism, they would have voted for Jeb! or Rubio.

And so it begins. Proof that companies are going to cut staffing where they can due to the purposed raising of the minimum wage to $15\hr. Should this come to pass, I believe it is goning to send more people to the unemployment line then boost their earnings. Here is just one signal. Looks like Wendy's is looking to get ahead of the curve.

Wendy’s Serves Up Big Kiosk Expansion As Wage Hikes Hit Fast Food

Wendy’s (WEN) said that self-service ordering kiosks will be made available across its 6,000-plus restaurants in the second half of the year as minimum wage hikes and a tight labor market push up wages.

It will be up to franchisees whether to deploy the labor-saving technology, but Wendy’s President Todd Penegor did note that some franchise locations have been raising prices to offset wage hikes.

I remember after the Obamacare mandates were announced, Wendy's reacted to that as well. About a year ago I was in my local Wendy's and there was a huge back up on getting orders out. Customers were getting restless which prompted the manager to come out an apologize for the long delays. In doing so, he explained that upper management had cut employee hours back in order to avoid some of the mandates from Obamacare. So they did not have the normal amount of staff as they usually did.

If the FBI recommends to indict and the DOJ refuses, then the FBI will revolt. The evidence is overwhelming. As Johnny Cochran would say "If the server is private, the bitch must be indicted." And as Monker would say "That doesn't even rhyme. You guys should really be worrying about Trump blah blah blah."
