| Rand Paul’s filibuster united and excited disparate wings of the conservative movement, but not everyone is happy. Over at the Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol writes, [P]aul’s political genius strikes us as very much of the short-term variety. Will it ultimately serve him well to be the spokesman for the Code Pink faction of the Republican party? How much staying power is there in a political stance that requires waxing semihysterical about the imminent threat of Obama-ordered drone strikes against Americans sitting in cafés? And as for the other Republican senators who rushed to the floor

I don´t know why Bill Kristol even has a job, writing his opinion. I doubt that there are very many people who value his opinion on anything.
I don´t get this in-your-face, we are better than you, we´re smarter than you, condescension from these mush mouth morons. They are doing the job of forming a third-party, themselves.

This country has been taken in a tragic direction in the past decade and in the past 4 years in particular. The powers of the executive branch have exploded and promise to continue doing so. Normal checks and balances of the courts, media (such as Kristol), and Congress offer no resistance. In shock over this, ordinary Americans spent time and money they didn´t always have to deliver to the House in Nov. 2010 the means to save this country. The gift didn´t go over all that well. Rand Paul at minimum has provided the first resistance to exec. branch. Mr. Kristol is grasping the chandeliers while being shown the door (an image I borrowed from Ms. Crowley).

The GOP has become a home for war mongers, tax cutters and other single-issue ideologues. The political/industrial complex owns both parties and they have made the rules to exclude Third Ways from a voice much less power. We have a lot of work to do if we´re going to avoid another national bloodbath.

Ruby Ridge and Waco mean nothing to Kristol. The US government killed civilians because of their stands on the second amendment. Weaver and Koresh could have changed the outcome, but does that give the government the right to use snipers to kill an unarmed woman holding her baby or use tanks to attack a compound where they knew children were living? Napolitano lists returning veterans among terrorist risks to the U.S. Obama says punish your enemies and if they bring a knife you bring a gun.

F&B is pablum too many of us have believed, but they like other news outlets have an agenda and their guest selections tells us that the power in/of the RNC lay with the mcain/Rove wing, thus dismissing Rand Paul´s filabuster as "fringe",or good, but naive.

If Sen. Paul deigns to respond to Code Pink (Slime), the words of President Reagan would do well, "they may support me but I don´t support them."
He could go further. Code Pink (Slime) is waging war against the United States. Sen. Paul could say, "That´s funny, because Code Pink (Slime) is who I had in mind when I asked about people waging war against the United States on our own soil: drone ´em."

If I understand Kristol and Krauthammer, they don´t think there´s an imminent threat of drones being used against US citizens. But that misses the point! The point Rand Paul was trying to make was that the Constitution doesn´t allow the government to kill its own citizens with drones--not now and not ever. Whether or not Obama plans to use drones against citizens, who is to say that someone won´t in the future. We now have Obama on record as saying he agrees with Paul on the Constitutionality issue. That is significant and calls attention to this issue, should it ever come up again.

The remains of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev have been buried in a Muslim cemetery in Doswell, a small community in central Virginia about 15 miles from the state capital of Richmond. Tsarnaev’s remains are interred at the Al-Barzakh Cemetery, the first Muslim cemetery in central Virginia, according to the woman who helped arrange the burial and to the Islamic Funeral Services of Virginia. The burial was coordinated Martha Mullen, 48, a Virginia woman who saw news reports about the protest outside the Worcester funeral home where Tsarnaev’s remains had languished for nearly a week, and decided to help.

DHAKA, Bangladesh - A seamstress buried in the wreckage of a collapsed garment factory building for 17 days was rescued Friday, a miraculous moment set against a scene of unimaginable horror, where the death toll shot past 1,000. Reshma survived, in remarkably good shape, by eating dried food that was in her area and drinking spare amounts of water with her. She was discovered on the second floor of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, where crews have been focused on recovering bodies, not rescuing survivors, for much of the past two weeks.

WASHINGTON — Five days before two bombs tore through crowds at the Boston Marathon, an intelligence report identified the finish line as an "area of increased vulnerability" and warned Boston police that homegrown extremists could use "small-scale bombings" to attack spectators and runners at the event. The 18-page report, similar to others sent to police and first responders before major events in the Boston area, was written by the Boston Regional Intelligence Center, which is funded in part by the Department of Homeland Security and helps disseminate intelligence information to local police and first responders.

‘Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?” That was how then–Secretary of State Hillary Clinton famously brushed off the question of when she knew that the attacks on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were, in fact, a terrorist assault and not a “protest” of an anti-Islam video that got out of hand.

Republicans on Thursday boycotted a congressional hearing for President Obama´s nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, putting the nomination in doubt and enraging White House officials who dismissed the act as the most blatant case yet of GOP obstructionism. The boycott was a major blow to Gina McCarthy´s chances of winning a filibuster-proof confirmation vote in the Senate, given that, without the Republicans, progressives can´t even get McCarthy through committee. Republicans said they refused to move ahead on McCarthy until the EPA adequately responds to their questions about her,

CLEVELAND — The twin brother of kidnap victim Michelle Knight yesterday recalled his shock at seeing her alive for the first time in more than a decade. “When I saw her, she was white as a ghost,” Freddie Knight, 32, told The Post. “But she told me, ‘Come over here and give me a hug. It’s been ages!’ ” “She was happy to see me. It was emotional. She even recognized me — even though it had been 11 years.” Freddie, who is estranged from their mom, Barbara, was the first family member to see Michelle after her escape.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula deserves a place in American history. He is the first person in this country jailed for violating Islamic anti-blasphemy laws. You won’t find that anywhere in the charges against him, of course. As a practical matter, though, everyone knows that Nakoula wouldn’t be in jail today if he hadn’t produced a video crudely lampooning the prophet Muhammad. In the weeks after the attack on U.S. facilities in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others, the Obama administration claimed the terrorist assault had been the outgrowth of a demonstration against the Nakoula video.

The secretary of state was back in Washington on Thursday, begging the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to take it easy on the poor Iranians. Enough with the sanctions, he said. Secretary Kerry has joined decades of his predecessors, buying into the latest version of the 30-year old illusion that we can make a deal with the Tehran regime if only we deal properly and humbly with them. He said there was a “window of opportunity” for a couple of months. It doesn’t much matter if he really believes this legend,

One question left mainly unaddressed by yesterday’s hearing on Benghazi — and by others, as well — is the lack of preparation by the Obama administration and the US military for the potential for attack in Benghazi. After all, terrorist attacks had been increasing steadily since the fall of the Qaddafi regime in 2011. Other Western nations had already withdrawn from Benghazi due to the security risks in the region, specifically from the radical Islamist terror networks able to operate freely in eastern Libya because of the removal of Qaddafi.

It is Ford’s first visit back to Syria since he left in February, 2012, when the U.S. embassy suspended operations in Damascus as the opposition effort to oust Syrian President Bashar al Assad developed into a full-blown civil war. Since then, Ford has become the Obama administration’s point man on Syria and point of contact with the Syrian opposition. A U.S. official confirmed Ford’s secret visit, which occurred along the Turkey-Syria border. He briefly crossed into Syria

As a presidential speech writer for the first Bush White House, I am always very interested in what presidents say in their formal speeches. They know, of course, that their remarks will be widely covered by the press, studied by analysts, and influential in contemporary political debates. For that reason, presidents rarely speak off-the-cuff, and their every word is carefully chosen for exactly the message the White House wants to convey to the public. Their graduation speeches, like all presidential addresses, go through many drafts and are reviewed by high-level administration officials

The most notable takeaway from Jay Carney’s incomprehensible Friday appearance had little to do with his Klingon grammar. Carney does not represent the historical value of the event – you should be wise to forget his performance, and instead take note that he was flanked by the entire room, without exception. Do not underestimate the significance: the Obama administration has not faced such an onslaught of truth-seeking since he took office in 2008, and further, no Democratic administration has been charged from all sides like this in recent memory.

Harkening back to a Mitt Romney press conference on September 12, 2012, which addressed the Benghazi attacks only in passing while focusing instead on the assault on the American embassy in Cairo, Egypt, Carney suggested that Romney had tried to target the innocent Obama administration for telling the truth about Benghazi. “Republicans, again, in this ongoing effort that began in the hours after the attack when Mitt Romney put out a press release to try to take political

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the document were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story. ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensive edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.

It comes after State Department whistleblower Gregory Hicks testified Wednesday that he was shocked when he saw Susan Rice blaming a protest for the attack on numerous talk shows. Martha MacCallum discussed the next steps in the investigation of what happened in Benghazi with Hicks´ attorney, Victoria Toensing.

Shortly before last November’s election I took part in a Fox News documentary on Benghazi, whose other participants included the former governor of New Hampshire John Sununu. Making chit-chat while the camera crew were setting up, Governor Sununu said to me that in his view Benghazi mattered because it was “a question of character.” That’s correct. On a question of foreign policy or counterterrorism strategy, men of good faith can make the wrong decisions. But a failure of character corrodes the integrity of the state. That’s why career diplomat Gregory Hicks’s testimony

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for inappropriately flagging conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status. Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said organizations that included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status were singled out for additional reviews. Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington.
