Hillary’s interview with Greta Van Susteren: so much hypocrisy, it wouldn’t even fit inside a pants suit
Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren sat down with outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to discuss – among other things – Egypt and Benghazi. Those expecting Greta to be a bit tougher on Clinton than was the stable of gelded Republican Senators and Congressmen last week were disappointed but there were some revealing moments. […]
Did Hillary commit Perjury… twice in one day?
In two otherwise pathetic performances by Republican congressmen – save for a few exceptions – who laid down like subjects in front of Queen Hillary, there were two exchanges – one during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing and the other during the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing – where the Secretary of State may […]
The Truth about the shooting of Democratic Congresswoman who now sits on Joe Biden’s Gun Control task force
In 1978, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) was a legal aid to Rep. Leo Ryan (D-CA), the only U.S. Congressman to be murdered in the line of duty. In 2011, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) almost became the second. Speier barely survived the trip to Jonestown, where an insane preacher had moved his insane Temple, but not […]

After the sale of Al Gore’s Current TV to the Arabic news network, Al Jazeera America is expected to broadcast from New York. Via World Atlas: In 2006, the Dubai Ports World (DPW) […]
Al Jazeera’s Doublespeak
A common refrain we hear from those who defend Al Jazeera’s purchase of Current TV is that over the last decade, it is an entity that has decided it wants to become a legitimate news organization and that Al Jazeera English is nothing like Al Jazeera Arabic. Is that not the recipe for doublespeak, where […]
CURRENT Jihad TV?
**UPDATE** It appears that while Al Gore attempted to sell Current TV before the deadline in order to save nearly $9 Million, that didn’t happen. Awwwwwww. Current TV, Al Gore’s brainchild, has been fledgling and flailing for quite some time. Luckily for him, not only was Gore able to sell his ownership stake for $100 […]

State Department accountability over Benghazi worse than thought
Upon release of the Accountability Review Board’s (ARB) report on what happened in Benghazi, it was learned that the group singled out no individuals for discipline – the bureaucracy itself was identified as the party most responsible.

Accountability Review Board’s findings on Benghazi: No one Accountable
The ‘Independent’ Accountability Review Board (ARB) – established by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to investigate the attack in Benghazi on 9/11/12 – has reached at least one bizarre conclusion in its unclassified report. That conclusion appears to run counter to what Clinton herself said approximately two months earlier when asked about the State Department’s role […]

Another Benghazi / Fast and Furious parallel? State Department employees not allowed to talk
The parallels between Operation Fast and Furious and the 9/11/12 attack in Benghazi continue to mount. The latest example comes courtesy of Kerry Picket. She is reporting that Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who serves on the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees, says the State Department is not allowing him to talk to any of the survivors […]
Video: Did Hillary out-do Bill’s ‘meaning of is, is’ Gaffe over Benghazi question?
The following is the definition of hypothetical: (of a proposition) highly conjectural; not well supported by available evidence. When it comes to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s appearances on five separate talk shows to give the demonstrably false White House talking points, it’s not hypothetical; it’s fact. It’s also factual to say that Secretary of State […]
New York Times Interview with Innocence of Muslims filmmaker raises question about YouTube channel
There was an interesting tidbit found toward the end of a 6-page article written by Serge Kovaleski and Brooks Barnes of the New York Times – in which the two reporters revealed the contents of their interview with Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the man behind the Innocence of Muslims video.

Republican Senators boiling after meeting with Rice
Regular readers know that we’ve been more than just a little critical of Republican Senators like John McCain and Lindsey Graham when it came to how best to deal with the situations in Libya, Syria, et. al. but in this particular case, they’re right to keep up the pressure on U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice. When […]
