| Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will make her long-awaited appearance in front of a U.S. Senate panel tomorrow to testify about the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, and New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez will be on hand to preside over the hearing. Clinton will make her appearance at 9 a.m. in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which Menendez, of North Bergen, may chair if Sen. John Kerry is confirmed as Clinton’s successor. Republicans have called on Clinton to testify about the attacks in Benghazi, where four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed during a deadly

Bob Menendez, he of the prostitutes and the registered sex offender illegal alien intern, surely will get to the bottom of things. What a farce.

You´ve seen it all before.
Menendez will start with a long opening statement wherein he will dismiss the whole incident as an unfortunate but minor and understandable mistake.
Piaps will sidestep and shuck & jive, slither and duck and dive until they announce an upcoming vote down the hall and it´s all over.
I´m making jalapeno popcorn anyway.

Hillary´s State Dept., Obama are responsible for the three deaths. The despicable media tippy-toeing all around this matter because the Queen is involved, not to mention Obama. Why does nobody on the Republican side scream COVER UP when all the Benghazi survivors (State employees) are being hidden ad kept from talking to the Senators investigating??????? This hearing will be a gigantic zero !

Madame Secretary, your testimony on Benghazi will require a suspension of disbelief.
She will lie with a smirk. Mendenez and fhe other Senate Dems on panel will give HRC a standing ovation before and after her testimony. Her testimony will note that Ambassador Stevens did not have sex with that woman, Fatima Lewinsky. Afterwards, the body of one of Repub senators will be found next to the cannon in the same park as Vince Foster. Police will rule it a suicide although no gun will be found. That evening, Hillary will tell an enthralled and effusive Brian Williams that she has just rented a charming farmhouse in Ames, Iowa to rest and write. All will be wrong with the world, but no Dem will care.

Menendez presiding over Clinton testimony is about as effective and judicious as Holder presiding over Fast and Furious investigation. The HOUSE should investigate the bloody Benghazi attacks and arms running.

There is one name at the center of Benghazi and recently Mali - the Blind Sheikh. This was all about getting that monster out of prison and back to the Middle East where he will be hailed as a hero. Obama is on board with freeing the Blind Sheikh, he is just waiting for the right moment or circumstances to spring him from prison. The new dictator of Egypt Morsi demanding the Blind Sheikh should be released should send chills up everyone´s back. The Blind Sheikh was Osama Bin Laden´s spiritual leader and is as evil as you can get. He was behind the first World Trade Center bombing and he calls for the destruction of America and Obama just tried to send Egypt Billions in aid? What is going on here?

A hotly contested gun-control law that was passed in 2007 is finally ready to be implemented, Attorney General Kamala Harris said Friday: a requirement that every new semiautomatic handgun contain "micro-stamping" technology that would allow police to trace a weapon from cartridges found at a crime scene. The law, signed by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, made California the first state to require micro-stamping, which engraves the gun´s serial number on each cartridge. (Snip) But at a Los Angeles news conference Friday, Harris announced that micro-stamping had cleared all technological

A second ´house of horrors´ abortion clinic is being investigated in Texas, just days after Dr Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of murdering newborns at his Philadelphia termination center. Houston doctor Douglas Karpen is accused by four former employees of delivering live fetuses during third-trimester abortions and killing them by either snipping their spinal cord, stabbing a surgical instrument into their heads or ´twisting their heads off their necks with his own bare hands´. Other times the fetus was so big he would have to pull it out of the womb in pieces, Karpen´s ex-assistant, Deborah Edge, said

President Francois Hollande will decide by the end of July whether France should impose new taxes on technology giants like Apple and Google to finance cultural projects, a move that could feed into an anti-business image days after a spat with Yahoo!. The Socialist government asked former Canal Plus CEO Pierre Lescure to find new ways of funding culture during an economic downturn, in line with France´s "cultural exception" argument that such projects must be shielded from market forces. While far from becoming laws, the proposals could worsen tension between France and technology giants after Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg

"We´re broke, broke, broke," Worley told the party´s Executive Board in a special called meeting Frida. How broke is broke? Worley didn´t sugar coat the answer. "This is my 18th day as chair and thirty minutes after I took over on April 22nd the landlord of the building where our party headquarters are came in and said he wanted us out, that the rent was overdue and was always overdue,"

Trenton — Police officials are examining the response to a 911 call Sunday night that left a city man struggling with an intruder at his building without any officers arriving. Dan Dodson said it was 20 or 30 minutes before two officers eventually arrived in response to his wife’s calls to police telephone numbers. “We’re looking into it to determine if the proper protocols were followed,” Lt. Steve Varn said yesterday evening. Yesterday, Dodson said he was deciding where to buy a baseball bat in case someone else was able to slip into his home. He believes one of the two

The Internal Revenue Service relies on technology more than ever to sniff out tax cheats using robo-audits and data mining—but so far it has caught lot of minnows, and big fish are still eluding detection. Even as millions of people´s accounts are screened online and matched against their digital files elsewhere, the IRS´s data-detection tools come nowhere close to collecting the $400 billion in tax dodges estimated to take place each year. (Snip) Such profiles will likely include shopping records, travel, social interactions and information not available to the public, such as health records and files from

After superstorm Sandy struck, mountains of rubble were collected and taken to temporary storage sites. In Ocean County, those locations included a parking lot in Ortley Beach, a ball field in Bay Head, a recycling center in Berkeley. From there, trucks hauled it all to the county landfill in Manchester. The distances of those trips varied. But on bills submitted by the debris removal firm, they had something in common: They were all recorded as being just over or, in some cases, exactly 16 miles. Coincidence? Doubtful. Under the state’s contract with the cleanup firm, AshBritt Inc., 16 miles is

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
