| Let's see. The United States suffered a deadly terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11, in which a sitting US Ambassador was murdered. Elsewhere, black Islamist flags were hoisted over four American embassies, following security breaches. The Obama administration lied about the cause and nature of the attack in Benghazi, misled the public about threats leading up to the massacre, and attempted to gloss over the outrageously lax security at the diplomatic outpost prior to the raid. They've dissembled and ducked tough questions, instructing journalists to stop asking about details of the massacre,

Obama has been lying since 'day one'. But, we knew that.
We are amazed at Obama arrogance. The complicit media is amazed at his skill.

The Benghazi consulate attack appears far more complex than Obama has stated. Ambassador Stevens was left unprotected to possibly give impression that he was on site to create a "cultural center"'. At same time, some 30 CIA agents were in Benghazi, apparently unknown to Libyan authorities. CIA mission involved monitoring al Queda and locating weapons from former regime. Al Queda terrorists attacked the consulate, which drove the CIA team out of Benghazi and Libya. Stevens and the 3 other dead Americans were victims of this al Queda attack on our intelligence operation. Stevens was fearful of the situation in Benghazi, and the CIA operation in or near the consulate was probably the reason for his fears. See latest Lucianne post.

Was Bengazi a Valarie Jarrett/hussein obama plot to perhaps replay a Hostage situation (Stevens to be kidnapped rather than killed) so that it would be a replay of Carter's situation before election. Only this time, the great "Won" would not have repeated Carter's failure in releasing hostages------then the one would be lauded on bended knee about how wonderful and what a force-full CIC and Leader he is. With Hillary's odd statement of her saying something to the effect that "this was not supposed to happen after all we have done for them." That situation got out of control. As I stated sometime back, he and the media would use FALSE poll results (skewed), a false flag event or a FAUX assassination attempt to put the total of the American population on his side to facilitate being re-elected. He's now tried two out of three incidents so far and the public is finally wising up to their efforts. Will the 3rd be put in play in October? I still say he and his cronies are responsible for ARAB SPRING - Code Pink in the middle of it as well.

We know now that the CIA had a horde of agents in Benghazi trying to locate weapons caches. The administration was fearful that the weaponry funneled by the CIA to aid the overthrow of Gaddafi would end up in the hands of Al Queda and affiliates. It is not a large leap to speculate that Stevens was in Benghazi as part of that effort, most likely to meet clandestinely with Al Queda or Al Queda affiliates to negotiate a US sequestration of those weapons. For that reason he was not accompanied by a high profile Marine security detail. His journal entries reflect his anxiety about the danger of his mission, a mission he was sent on by the Secretary of State and the President. The expression on Hillary’s face at the reception of the bodies back in the US reflects her anguish at having sent the Ambassador and his aides to their deaths.

No matter how much I read about what was really going on there, as opposed to what this regime wanted us to believe, I keep seeing this in articles -- "However, the administration continues to believe the attack was not pre-planned, but rather was the result of extremists seizing the opportunity presented by protests in neighboring Egypt against an American-made anti-Islamic video." Even now, more than two weeks after the attacks, and despite several countries immediately admitting that it was pre-planned and had nothing to do with the video. Why? It's the failed policies of Barack Hussein. Apology and appeasement do not work!

The Wall Street Journal has a big frontpage story today on the disability epidemic. It’s a good addendum to my column from last week. The unexpectedly large number of American workers who piled into the Social Security Administration’s disability program during the recession and its aftermath threatens to cost the economy tens of billions a year in lost wages and diminished tax revenues. Signs of the problem surfaced Friday, in a dismal jobs report that showed U.S. labor force participation rates falling last month to the lowest levels since 1979,

By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now. Look at movies like "Warm Bodies" and the coming "World War Z," the ratings for AMC´s hit series "The Walking Dead" (12.9 million viewers for its recent season finale) and $2.5 billion in annual sales for zombie videogames. Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released. A glance at Google GOOG -1.51%Trends reveals that in the past few years, interest in flesh-eating ghouls has far outstripped popular enthusiasm for vampires, wizards and hobbits.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

This country is an embarrassment. We can’t do anything right, least of all corruption. Look, when Venezuela’s populist demagogue Hugo Chavez died, word was he’d somehow accumulated an estate worth $2 billion. In the old days when the PRI party ruled Mexico uninterruptedly, every president got a single six-year term — and promptly retired at its close as a billionaire.And that was when a billion was real money.

Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather. It’s enough to make one doubt the “settled science” of the government-funded doom-sayers.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

WASHINGTON — A photo of the Obamas hugging that was released on Election Day 2012 has become the world´s most popular tweet on Twitter. A dressed-up version of Barack Obama´s State of the Union speech, packed with charts and graphs, is huge on YouTube. A playful picture of the president cavorting with a 3-year-old in a Spiderman costume is a favorite online. It´s all courtesy of the Obama image machine, serving up a stream of words, images and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding,compassionate and on the ball. In this world, Obama's family is always photogenic, first dog Bo is always well-behaved and the vegetables in the South Lawn kitchen garden always seem succulent.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air.
