… then quizzically poses the question, ‘gee, I wonder why’; to wit Don Mattingly in drag, aka Rachel Maddow, opines about structural advantages created by those pesky and brilliantly strategic republicans.
Yes, this is what they tell themselves – it’s never palatable to conceive the electorate are just sick and tired of Moonbat policies that always fail yet continue to return like the Phoenix from the ashes of retread socialism only to be tried yet again…
*Update w/correction* Potus signatory timeline is 60 days, congressional debate has 90 days.
This is important and those who understand the TPP deal need to begin pressuring your congress creeps immediately. President Obama has delivered the required “Notice of Intent” letter to congress.
The White House is legally bound to tell congress they intend to enter into a trade-deal. Obama has just made the text available to the public. In 60 days he can sign the agreement and send trade agreement to Congress for debate, vote and approval. Congress is allowed 90 days for debate after presidential signature. The letter below officially starts the clock.
President Obama is hoping to use Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays as strategic tools to run out the clock on any efforts to provide WH pushback on the anti-American deal:

Incredible expose’ article within Breitbart showcasing the depth of the trickery being played by the GOPe in their efforts to install Amnesty advocate Paul Ryan.
The article highlights a PBS documentary containing this video of House Freedom Caucus founder Representative Mick Mulvaney, and further goes on to show Machiavellian scheme constructed for several years:
UPDATE: Having watched the full PBS outline (Available Here) any conservative pundit, media outlet, blogger or activist who doesn’t immediately begin pulling back the curtain on this construct doesn’t deserve to be considered as legitimate.
The PBS story absolutely appears to be the initial thread to discover that Speaker John Boehner’s decision to abdicate his position, and the decision by McCarthy to withdraw from consideration, was/is a planned scheme to advance Paul Ryan specifically to attain immigration reform. (more…)
A recent article at Real Clear Politics hits on one of the key aspects of the Benghazi fiasco that recent media are hell-bent on hiding; Hillary Clinton, not President Obama, is actually the person responsible for the crisis in Libya.
Watching the House Select Committee on Benghazi hearings, it was interesting to note how no-one really went ‘there’ to give Clinton full ownership of the 2011 Libyan Intervention. So let’s review Clinton’s ownership.
It’s as if both congress and the media have forgotten those ridiculous 19-days in 2011 when Hillary was flying back-and-forth to meet with French Prime-Minister Sarkozy and plan their endeavors.
In the U.S. presidential adviser Samantha Power was bending Obama’s ear with declarations of a “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) the Eastern Libyan citizens from the boogie man narrative assigned to Gadaffi.
Meanwhile in New York, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was answering calls from her British and French counterparts who were similarly selling an interventionist message. Back in the White House, President Obama was reluctant to engage. It was Secretary Clinton working overtime to bring the President into the same line of thinking as herself. (more…)
“Based on the evidence developed in this investigation and the recommendation of experienced career prosecutors and supervising attorneys at the Department, we are closing our investigation and will not seek any criminal charges.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — No IRS official would face criminal charges arising from the political controversy over the processing of applications for tax-exempt status, the Justice Department announced Friday.
In a letter to members of Congress, the department said that while investigators had found “mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia,” there was no evidence of a crime. (more…)
When we wrote the Benghazi Brief we walked through almost two years of research data from February 2011 through September 2012. The brief describes the who’s, what’s, where, when and why of everything up to 9/11/12.
However, we did not have the specific “why” of the actual attack itself. Recent document releases fill in that aspect:
At 10:00am Eastern Time the House Select Committee on Benghazi will hold Hearing #4 – “The Testimony of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton”. (advisory)
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:00am and may run until 6:00pm depending on depth of questioning. Here is a live Stream Link:

“I don’t recall” – In a world where journalists were in-tune with events and stories, and in a world where journalists were driven to tell the truth behind events, those three words from Speaker of the House John Boehner would have caused every DC reporter to grab their steno pads and head immediately to his offices.
Alas, few people beyond the inhabitants of the “new media world” (internet) have an understanding of how consequential those three intentionally obtuse words actually are.
“I don’t recall”…
Those words are massive when contrast against a March 2011 President Obama finding memo which authorized a covert State Dept./CIA operation in Libya. That operation ultimately culminated 18 months later in the Benghazi attack, Sept. 11th 2012.
Speaker of the House John Boehner is, as a consequence of his position, a member of what’s called the “Intelligence Gang of Eight”. The finding memo would begin a process where then CIA head, Leon Panetta, would have briefed the “Gang of Eight” because specific congressional leadership would have the automatic position of oversight for the operation.
Key word “OVERSIGHT” !
In 2011 the Congressional Gang of Eight was: (more…)
JUNE 2015 – Washington, DC—Select Committee on Benghazi Chairman Trey Gowdy today released the following statement after the State Department Thursday evening informed the committee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not turn over all of her records related to Benghazi and Libya.
“The State Department has informed the Select Committee that Secretary Clinton has failed to turn over all her Benghazi and Libya related records. This confirms doubts about the completeness of Clinton’s self-selected public record and raises serious questions about her decision to erase her personal server—especially before it could be analyzed by an independent, neutral third party arbiter.
“This has implications far beyond Libya, Benghazi and our committee’s work. This conclusively shows her email arrangement with herself, which was then vetted by her own lawyers, has resulted in an incomplete public record. (more)
