| RUSH: I mentioned that the Senate Armed Services Committee hearings on the Benghazi consulate attack took place today. Up first, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Martin Dempsey testified, and he threw Mrs. Clinton under the bus here. McCain said, "Why didn´t you put forces in place to be ready to respond when all broke loose over there?" DEMPSEY: Because we never received a request to do so, number one, and number two -- MCCAIN: You never heard of -- of the Ambassador Stevens´ repeated warnings about the lack of security?

Dereliction of duty by a Commander in Chief who ignores pleas for help from Americans under attack: If this does not rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors, nothing ever will.

I don´t remember Hillary ever being asked, or volunteering the information, as to where *she* was the night of the Benghazi attacks. Does anyone know?

I think he was on a drunken bender, or else partying with Beyonce. Maybe both.

From 6 pm to midnight, where WAS Obama? There was nothing on his calander, and he left for Las Vegas the next day. He never touched base with Panetta or Hillary to keep up with what was happening in Benghazi during the night. He just disappeared...... POOF

Which 0bama are you referring to?
There are several of them, you know - - all interchangeable - - just as there were several Tommy Rettigs who were rotated in and out of the role of Lassie´s young master.

The fact that the White House was willing to volunteer that Obama went to bed when an American consulate was under siege , with the welfare of 30 +Americans , including the Ambassador , was unknown indicates that Obama´s actual behavior that night must have been much worse. The fact that he was not a participant nor interested in the unfolding national security crisis is textbook Dereliction of Duty. The media glosses over the fact that Obama was also MIA during a failed al Queda attack on a Northwest Airlines flight on final approach to Detroit on December 25, 2009. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was tackled by passengers as he tried to detonate a bomb concealed in his underwear on flight 253. Obama did not become aware of the attack until three hours later. Three hours is a long time for a POTUS to be MIA during a terror attack. " White House spokesman Bill Burton said Friday that Obama, on vacation in Hawaii, was informed of the incident about three hours after the plane landed. Obama then held a conference call with Homeland Security and counter-terror adviser John Brennan and NSC chief of staff Denis McDonough. Burton said that in a subsequent call, Obama instructed that all appropriate measures be taken to increase security for air travel.” Good thing that there weren´t other airline bombers. The Republicans grilling Brennan during his current CIA confirmation hearings must ask him about Obama being absent during yet another attack. For context , Reggie Love was along on this trip to Hawaii. A Do Not Disturb sign on their bedroom door is no excuse for this type of derelict behavior.

He knew what was happening the entire night. But he also knew the winds would shift and get ugly if the USA stepped in and he told us who he would stand with when that happens.

You know what?? Its over guys. OVER. No one but us here on Lucianne are interested. Oh, maybe a few on other sites, maybe a few others in DC, but for the most part, not enough are interested to make a difference. Boehner and his crew are wimps and pu$$ys, and will not stand up for the country. Chuckie Boy Scummer (intentional spelling) and his crew are more than willing and able to stand up to the pu$$ys, and Johnny Boy and others just bend over and take another..... Its OVER. The only thing left is to prepare to take care of our families. Maybe those of us who think alike can band together in our respective areas to help each other, and I would love to do that....but.....

Okay that still doesn´t excuse either of the two for not acting. Look what happened to the two ranking officers who did try.. Ordered stand down then relieved of duty. Where are the 39 rescued? Was Barry even in DC. it´s only a short jump to Chicago when you have rides on your side.

If it´s any consolation to the family of the four Americans murdered in Benghazi, Obama scrambled HIS jet to Las Vegas in a mere one hour, forty five minutes- the next morning.

During his sabbatical, a university professor wishes to come to Florida to interview me for a study he is doing on black Tea Partiers. He said he wants to find out why "you think the way you think." Why do I get the feeling this guy believes that black conservatives are a strange phenomenon, almost unique as discovering a Bigfoot? This professor is flying all the way to Florida to actually meet me, an extremely rare species -- a Blackus Conservativus. As believers in traditional values such as faith in God, family, and country, conservatives are viciously

Washington D.C. is not just a city of monuments, museums and millions of square feet of buildings housing a preponderance of left-leaning overpaid bureaucrats complaining about how hard they work, it is also the home of the American Political Establishment (APE). This monolithic body has evolved over the past eighty years as an ever increasing amount of political power once delegated to the states and the people has been seized by the federal government. Within this entity are two branches: the senior partner -- the Democratic Establishment -- and the junior partner -- the Republican Establishment.

Signs of ObamaCare´s failings mount daily, including soaring insurance costs, looming provider shortages and inadequate insurance exchanges. Yet the law´s most disturbing feature may be the Independent Payment Advisory Board. The IPAB, sometimes called a "death panel," threatens both the Medicare program and the Constitution´s separation of powers. At a time when many Americans have been unsettled by abuses at the Internal Revenue Service and Justice Department, the introduction of a powerful and largely unaccountable board into health care merits special scrutiny. For a vivid illustration of the extent to which life-and-death medical decisions have already been usurped by government bureaucrats,

Disarmament: President Obama has proposed targeting cuts in deployed atomic weapons of up to a third below levels achieved in a 2010 treaty with Russia. He wants a world without nuclear arms — specifically ours. Only a shameless politician could invoke the name of President Kennedy in Berlin to announce the nuclear disarmament of America. When Kennedy proclaimed "Ich bin ein Berliner" in June 1963, it was a statement of solidarity with the free people of West Berlin and a pledge of resistance to the tyranny that surrounded it. It was not an act of

War On Terror: President Obama is practically engineering a silent coup against flawed Afghan President Hamid Karzai, with whom we replaced the Taliban in 2001. He´s copying America´s worst mistake of the Vietnam War. A perfect comparison it may not be, but disturbing similarities exist between the Obama administration´s unfolding abandonment of Afghanistan´s corrupt President Karzai and the Kennedy administration´s betrayal of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem 50 years ago. Karzai on Wednesday backed out of impending talks with the Taliban after the U.S. announced its diplomats will negotiate directly with the country´s bloodthirsty former rulers.

President Obama insists his policies are driven by a "common sense" approach. He also speaks in terms of "we the people" and "the government is us." Such declarations are reminiscent of old Soviet posters displayed for all to see: "ALL POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE" and "PEOPLE AND COMMUNIST PARTY ARE ONE." But the real power in the USSR was in the hands of Communist Party leaders. They, in the name of the people, defined foes of centralized government as "enemies of the people." Similarly, Obama´s Department of Homeland Security has defined right-wing extremists as "those that are mainly anti-government,

RUSH: I´ll get to Obama and Germany. There were two things he did in Germany. He had a press conference with Merkel and he had a speech, the Brandenburg Gate. If you remember, in 2008 Obama went over to Germany and he requested at that time to speak at the Brandenburg Gate, and the Germans, boy, they were under a lot of pressure because back then Obama was The Messiah. He was making a tour of Europe on his messianic pilgrimage as part of his campaign. He requested to

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
