More Democratic buffoonery- a Benghazi "truth squad" | Tea Party:
"Former Bill Clinton hack turned Hillary Clinton hack Lanny Davis will form a “truth squad” outside the select committee on Benghazi hearings to put his own partisan spin on the hearings.
Good luck with that.
I do not expect chairman Trey Gowdy to put on a show.
As a prosecutor Gowdy never lost a case which means he knows which cases to dismiss or plead down and which cases to fight.
He is ready to fight but not with innuendos or half truths.
The public can expect to see a very professional investigation and it deserves nothing less.

Obama's Fake Brakes on Running to Economic Crash
Obama's Fake Brakes on Running to Economic Crash:
...The problem is that the administration is using a flawed economic model.
All of them subscribe to the progressive Keynesian economics model.
Amongst other things, this states that government can build up the economy by injecting stimulus money into it. That’s why we saw so many rounds of government stimulation when Obama first entered office.
However, we haven’t seen the promised results.
Their answer to that is that we need to do another stimulus.
The idea behind stimulus packages is that the government gets back $1.50 for every dollar they put into the economy.
There’s only one problem; that’s an unproven theory, not a known fact.
Looking at the recent stimulus efforts, it looks like the only ones who got anything were bank executives and executives of failing green energy companies.
The economy didn’t do a lick better. (Video first seen on Truthstream Media.)
So, where does this leave us?
I hate to say it, but we’re still on the fast road to an economic crash.
The only real questions are when it will happen and what will trigger it.
The new Fed Chairwoman has already gone on record stating that we can’t sustain the current national debt. With it growing daily, there’s no question that we are heading into troubled waters.
I hope your boat is ready.

"The former Treasury Secretary’s claim comes shortly after declassified White House emails revealed last month that the Obama administration coordinated with National Security Adviser Susan Rice after the 2012 assault on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, to portray the attacks as being “rooted in [an] Internet video” and not “a broader failure of policy.”

Iran says it has built copy of captured American drone, will take it on test flight | Fox News:
"Iran says it has “succeeded” in copying an American drone it captured in 2011 and will soon take the replicated aircraft on a test flight.
State television in Iran broadcasted images Sunday apparently showing a replicated US RQ-170 Sentinel drone alongside the original one, according to the AFP.
"Our engineers succeeded in breaking the drone's secrets and copying them,” an officer in the footage reportedly said. “It will soon take a test flight."

Bipartisan House bill calls on Congress to fly coach
Bipartisan House bill calls on Congress to fly coach | WashingtonExaminer.com:
A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill Monday that would prohibit members of Congress from flying first class on commercial airlines at taxpayers' expense.
"Members of Congress are public servants and should not receive special privileges at the expense of hard-working taxpayers," said Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Calif., one of the bill's initial four co-sponsors.
"It’s wrong that members of Congress can purchase luxury airfare with taxpayer money when many families in my district and across the county are struggling to make ends meet."
The "If Our Military Has to Fly Coach Then so Should Congress Act" seeks to extend to the legislative branch the same restrictions on first-class air traveled placed on many government employees.
"It's a very simple bill," said Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., another co-sponsor. "
At a time of massive deficits and with a national debt in excess of $17 trillion, members of Congress should not be using taxpayers' hard-earned money to buy luxury airline seats.
"If members of our military can't fly first class using taxpayer funds, neither should members of Congress."

Meebee ya ought to EFFIN vote!---------Establishment's new name, Effin Bar & Grill, draws mixed comments from Dalton Township residents
Establishment's new name, Effin Bar & Grill, draws mixed comments from Dalton Township residents | MLive.com:"DALTON TOWNSHIP, MI – The new name and a sign for a renovated bar on Holton Road was a hot topic at the Dalton Township Board of Trustees meeting Monday night, May 12.
Effin Bar & Grill’s name and sign drew a few complaints -- and one speech in support – during the public comments section of the meeting.
Dalton Township resident Janice Niles invoked obscenity law and a township ordinance in a speech trying to convince the trustees that the sign was questionable from a legal standpoint.
Township Supervisor Chris Hall said earlier that the sign was within the rules.
“I don’t feel that that sign is promoting the moral standards of our community,” Niles said."
EMP Attack On Power Grid Could Kill 9-In-10 Americans
EMP Attack On Power Grid Could Kill 9-In-10 Americans - Investors.com:Vulnerability: Expert testimony before Congress on Thursday warned that an electromagnetic pulse attack on our power grid and electronic infrastructure could leave most Americans dead and the U.S. in another century.
That dire warning came from Peter Vincent Pry, a member of the Congressional EMP Commission and executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security.
He testified in front of the House Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection and Security Technologies that an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event could wipe out 90% of America's population.
......Today an electromagnetic pulse event would be devastating. It wouldn't need a solar storm, just a solitary nuke detonated in the atmosphere above the American heartland. We would envy the horse-and-buggy era.
"Natural EMP from a geomagnetic superstorm, like the 1859 Carrington Event or 1921 Railroad Storm, and nuclear EMP attack from terrorists or rogue states, as practiced by North Korea during the nuclear crisis of 2013, are both existential threats that could kill 9-of-10 Americans through starvation, disease and societal collapse," the Washington Free Beacon quoted Pry as saying.

WH: 'Retrofitting Buildings...Is One Way to Create Jobs' | CNS News:"As job growth lags in the sluggish economic recovery, the Obama White House is pointing to climate change policies as a fix:
Efforts to reduce carbon pollution, far from costing jobs, will create them, a White House spokesman told reporters on Wednesday:
"Retrofitting buildings and modernizing them is one way to create jobs," Josh Earnest said. "It saves companies money in terms of their energy costs, but it also creates jobs in terms of people who are installing updated lighting, modern heating and cooling systems, and other things that make buildings more efficient."

But good wishes won’t get the girls back or bring their captors to justice.
It’s true that with each day the job gets more complicated. We’ve lost time. Intelligence reports suggest the girls have been broken up into smaller groups and sold off in different countries. And the Boko Haram Islamists plainly do not believe there will be any consequences for the evil they have done.
They are determined, like their brother Islamist terrorists, to prevent girls from being “corrupted” by education. And there is no atrocity they are unwilling to commit in pursuit of that goal.

Their goal is to trash the system altogether, specifically targeting free enterprise, individualism, Christianity and free speech.
Their goal is to remake America with some form of collectivist economy, and presumably some form of totalitarian government that could impose and maintain such a system.
They’re pursuing that goal by enlisting thousands of teachers from across the nation to push their ideas on naïve K-12 students.

MADISON, Wis. – When mainstream journalists cover the White Privilege movement, many do so in a frighteningly naïve manner.
They present White Privilege activists as well intentioned citizens who simply want to remind us that racism still exists.
But there’s far more to their message and agenda than that.
These people are not like the civil rights activists of the 1950s and 60s.
In those days activists criticized America because the benefits of democracy, personal liberty and free enterprise did not extend to minorities, particularly black Americans.
They fought for inclusion into the great American system, so that all citizens could have a shot at the American dream.
But today’s White Privilege crowd – largely elitist college professors and K-12 teachers – reject the idea of making the American system work for everyone.Their goal is to trash the system altogether, specifically targeting free enterprise, individualism, Christianity and free speech.

Pork, beef prices climb as grilling season arrives | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"Metro Detroiters can expect to pay more for that slab of ribs or juicy steak during this summer’s grilling season — a lot more.
Prices for all cuts of pork and beef are up from a year ago because of low supply, drought and illness.
The Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus, or PEDv, has killed millions of piglets in Michigan and 30 other states since May 2013.
As a result: The average retail cost of sliced bacon in March (the latest figures available) was $5.55 a pound — up 13% from last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Beef prices are up more than 5% from this time last year due, in part, to drought out West. Ground beef chuck, for example, was $3.74 a pound in March — up 10% from a year ago.
And those price increases have boosted the demand for chicken, driving its prices up, too, the bureau reported."

According to SOFREP, a military-oriented news site, Matt Bissonnette, one of the SEAL Team Six members on the raid, has claimed that the dying terrorist leader was twitching in his final moments and SEAL Team members pumped a few rounds into Bin Laden.
But SOFREP says that other sources have relayed to them that that is a dramatic understatement, that SEAL Team Six members pumped, at bare minimum, at least 100 rounds into Bin Laden’s body.
SOFREP reports, “[O]perator after operator took turns dumping magazines-worth of ammunition into Bin Laden’s body, two confidential sources within the community have told us.”
The report condemned the SEAL’s actions, however, calling the number of rounds fired “pure-self-indulgence” on the part of those on the raid.
