Trey Gowdy Reveals Info Lawmakers Learned After Nearly Nine Hours of Benghazi Testimony From Clinton Confidant | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Blumenthal and Gowdy declined to name the author of the memos, but emails released last month show at least one memo written by former CIA official Tyler Drumheller.

The evening after the September 2012 Benghazi attack, Blumenthal forwarded to Clinton an analysis of the situation from Drumheller which purported to contain information from “sources with direct access to the Libyan National Transitional Council as well as the highest levels of European governments as well as Western intelligence and security services.”

Columbia biologists "deeply regret" Nature retraction, after postdoc faked 74 panels in 3 papers - Retraction Watch at Retraction Watch:
"A team of Columbia University biologists has retracted a 2013 Nature paper on the molecular pathways underlying Alzheimer’s disease, the second retraction from the group after a postdoc faked data.
An April report from the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) found the a first author, former Columbia postdoc Ryousuke Fujita, responsible for “knowingly and intentionally fabricating and falsifying research in seventy-four (74) panels” in three papers: a 2011 Cell paper retracted in 2014, an unpublished manuscript, and this now-retracted Nature paper, “Integrative genomics identifies APOE e4 effectors in Alzheimer’s disease.”
The paper was touted in a Columbia University Medical Center press release as identifying “key molecular pathways” leading to late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. The paper fingered two potential molecular drug targets, as well."
...The Cell paper had been cited 150 times, according to Thomson Scientific’s Web of Knowledge. This Naturepaper has been cited 48 times, and has been designated as “highly cited.”

After Radical Muslim Cleric Confronts Cop on Camera, Listen to the Insult He Utters Behind His Back | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Radical Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary isn’t an unfamiliar figure to readers of TheBlaze.

He recently came close to saying that activist Pamela Geller should face the death penalty for her draw-Muhammad event in Garland, Texas. He also predicted Shariah law would be implemented in America, invited the wrath of Brad Thor following the Charlie Hebdo massacre when he declared no one has the right to insult Muhammad and claimed Jesus would be a Muslim if he were walking the earth today.

Here’s another resume bullet point for Choudary: He’s seen on video confronting a British cop as to why he’s wearing a wristband from Help for Heroes, a charity for British soldiers or vets injured as a result of their service."

Trigger-unhappy

Trigger-unhappy | The Economist
FOR an hour or two on a foggy morning last December, some students at the University of Iowa (UI) mistook one of their professors, Serhat Tanyolacar, for a fan of the Ku Klux Klan.
MrTanyolacar had placed a canvas effigy based on Klan robes, screen-printed with news cuttings about racial violence, on the Pentacrest, the university’s historic heart.
The effigy had a camera in its hood to record public reactions.
The reaction among some black students was to fear for their safety, and that is not surprising.
What is more of a puzzle—for anyone outside American academia, at least—is that students and UI bosses continued denouncing Mr Tanyolacar for threatening campus safety even after the misunderstanding was cleared up.
In vain did the Turkish-born academic explain that he is a “social-political artist”, using Klan imagery to provoke debate about racism.
Under pressure from angry students, university chiefs issued two separate apologies.

Calling America 'Land of Opportunity' offensive, University of California warns professors

Calling America 'Land of Opportunity' offensive, University of California warns professors | Fox News
Phrases such as “America is the land of opportunity” and “America is a melting pot" are "micro-aggressions" that could leave some students feeling discriminated against, according to a new faculty training guide put out by the University of California that one former professor in the system says shows "how crazy it's become."
The guide, which says those phrases and others can be interpreted by minorities as “denying the significance of a person of color’s racial/ethnic experience and history,” or that they “assimilate to the dominant culture,” is used across the vast, 200,000-student  University of California system. Specifically, it is for training professors in “faculty leadership seminars” that aim to “enhance department and campus climate toward inclusive excellence...”

The guide, first exposed by the student-run The College Fix, uses the same argument to condemn a number of seemingly innocuous statements, such as:

• “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.”
• “Affirmative action is racist.”
• “Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough.”
• “When I look at you, I don’t see color.”
• “I don’t believe in race.”
• “Gender plays no part in who we hire.”

Here’s Why You’re About to See Pro-Muhammad Billboards All Across America | TheBlaze.com

Here’s Why You’re About to See Pro-Muhammad Billboards All Across America | TheBlaze.com:

"A new pro-Muhammad billboard campaign is being funded by a Muslim group in an effort to counter negative narratives surrounding Islam, while simultaneously evangelizing.

Organized by the Islamic Circle of North America, a Muslim education group, the billboards have already been posted in cities in California, New Jersey and Florida, among other locations, in an effort to present Islam as a faith that embraces love, Reuters reported.

The giant placards, which are slated to appear in cities across america, include messages like: “Looking for the answers in Life? Discover Muhammad,” “Kindness is a mark of faith” and “Muhammad believed in peace, social justice, women’s rights.”

Freedom of speech is a wonderful right.  American's have the right to speak their mind and to voice concern.  Why are American's the target of hate when they express a pro-Christian, pro-American sign expressing their beliefs and rights?

Why are American's targeted when they display the symbol which expresses all of their rights and freedoms, the American flag.  Let's think about this, people claim our flag is offensive, yet it's the symbol which allows even those who wish to destroy us, the freedom to openly state they wish to destroy us on our own soil.

American's need to use their rights, while they still have them, to express their thoughts.  We need to stand up for ourselves because the executive shows no sign of preserving our great country.  

Radical thoughts and ideas need to be challenged.  I'd love to see every billboard with a pro-American sign.

Why Mass Transit Isn't Efficient

Why Mass Transit Isn't Efficient | PJ Media
"A few days ago, I needed to go into downtown Denver for a meeting.
This was somewhat complicated because I don’t currently have a working car, something that’s possible because I work at home, and Walmart delivers groceries.
(It’s called Walmart To Go, and I really do like the service.)
The People Who Know Better About Everything have been developing a massive mass-transit system for the Denver area for, I don’t know, maybe 30 years, and with a massive construction program with light rail that is supposed to make everything wonderful.
So, I investigated using the system.
Well, it’s about a half hour drive from my home to my meeting.
By “efficient, cheap, comfortable, and environmentally friendly” mass transit, the trip is nearly 3 hours: first I’d walk about 2 miles to catch a feeder bus into Boulder, then I’d catch the express bus to Denver, then I’d catch the 16th Street Mall bus to about 4 blocks from my destination and walk the rest of the way.
...“Efficient” is right out, not with a three hour commute one way.
“Comfortable,” well, have you ridden a bus recently?
And I’ve very very suspicious about the “environmentally friendly” part, because in order to have even faintly adequate service, most buses run nearly empty most of the time. 
It would be interesting to compute just what the actual carbon release is per passenger mile..."

"Two Florida parents were hit with felony neglect charges after their 11-year-old son was reportedly playing alone in the backyard for an hour and a half.
According to his mother, the boy arrived home before his parents and was locked out of the house, so he shot some hoops in the yard until they arrived.
A neighbor saw the child outside alone and called the local police.
When his mother and father arrived home, they were met by a police officer, who arrested them for child negligence..."

The Next Great European Financial Crisis Has Begun

The Next Great European Financial Crisis Has Begun
The Greek financial system is in the process of totally imploding, and the rest of Europe will soon follow.  
Neither the Greeks nor the Germans are willing to give in, and that means that there is very little chance that a debt deal is going to happen by the end of June.  
So that means that we will likely see a major Greek debt default and potentially even a Greek exit from the eurozone.  
...This is what a financial collapse looks like, and if Greece does leave the euro, we are going to see this kind of carnage happen all over Europe.

Officials over in Europe are now openly speaking of the need to prepare for a “state of emergency” now that negotiations have totally collapsed.  
At one time, it would have been unthinkable for Greece to leave the euro, but now it appears  that this is precisely what will happen unless a miracle happens…

Greece is heading for a state of emergency and an exit from the euro following the collapse of talks to agree a bailout deal, senior EU officials warned last night.

Europe must be prepared to step in otherwise Greek society would face an unprecedented crisis with power blackouts, medicine shortages and no money to pay for police, they said.

In the past, the Greeks have always buckled under pressure.  But this new Greek government was elected with a mandate to end austerity, and so far they have shown a remarkable amount of resolve.  In order for a debt deal to happen, one side is going to have to blink, and at this point it does not look like it will be the Greeks…

"The world’s financial markets are facing up to the possibility that Greece could soon become the first country to crash out of Europe’s single currency."

What Was Just Revealed About Hillary's 'Missing' Benghazi Emails Gives Gowdy New Ammo

What Was Just Revealed About Hillary's 'Missing' Benghazi Emails Gives Gowdy New Ammo:

"Remember all those times that Hillary Clinton, as well as the State Department she once ran, claimed that all of the former secretary’s relevant emails about Benghazi had been identified and provided, or would be provided, to the House Select Committee investigating the deadly attack? Remember how Clinton assured everyone that she was being transparent and forthcoming and had deleted from her private email server only those communications deemed “personal” — that all official, business-related communications had been turned over to State for review?

Well, as The Daily Caller notes of a new batch of previously undisclosed emails about Benghazi,"

Gap Inc. Will Close 140 U.S. Stores This Year — Just As Its Obama-Praised $10 Minimum Wage Takes Effect

Gap Inc. Will Close 140 U.S. Stores This Year — Just As Its Obama-Praised $10 Minimum Wage Takes Effect:
In February of last year, Gap Inc., which operates Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta stores, announced that it would raise its minimum hourly rate of pay for all U.S. employees to $9 in June 2014 and $10 in June 2015. 
As a result, it won "praise from President Obama who is pushing to raise the nation's minimum wage by a similar amount." 
The company said that the move would affect 65,000 employees who were making less.

The linked CNN Money report quoted an apparently confident Lynn Albright, a vice president at Old Navy, as follows: 
"We're coming from place where we can afford to make this investment." 
Maybe the company could afford it then, but based on today's store closure announcement, that's not so much the case now:

Gap closing 175 stores to be more 'vibrant'

Gap announced Monday it will close a quarter of its stores and cut 250 corporate jobs as it tries to chart the clothing brand back toward growth.

The company will close 175 stores across North America, not including outlets or factory stores, based on store performance. There will be additional store closures at European locations. About 140 stores will close this year. Gap will continue to operate about 500 Gap stores, plus 300 outlet stores.

Gap has been struggling to entice customers amid competition from fast fashion brands. Same-store sales fell 10% in the first quarter, compared with a 5% drop in the year-ago quarter.

... Gap declined to say how many employees will be affected by the store closures.

...At the time of the company's minimum-wage announcement, President Obama issued a statement, which said in part:

Today, I applaud Gap Inc. for announcing that they intend to raise wages for their employees beginning this year. But only action from Congress can make a difference nationwide....

Meteorologists Dismantle Bill Nye’s Alarmist Global Warming Claims

Meteorologists Dismantle Bill Nye’s Alarmist Global Warming Claims | The Daily Caller

Bill Nye the “Science Guy” is once again trying to blame global warming for a series of weather events happening around the U.S., but this time meteorologists aren’t having it.

Meteorologists criticized Nye’s claim that warm temperatures in Alaska and flooding in Texas are a product of man-made global warming.

As Tropical Storm Bill (no relation to Nye) was projected to make landfall in Texas, Nye tweeted:

Nye has been been relentless in trying to connect such extreme weather events to man-made global warming in recent months, to the point where actual meteorologists who study weather patterns are fed up with him.

Shovel Ready Missions

By Tammy Derouin

In this new era in which we live where everything must be politically correct and equally distributed, where’s the freedom?  First, being “politically correct” is a controlling mechanism.  What is politically correct to one can be offensive to another simply because it encroaches on freedom. 

Second, life isn’t fair.  Life, in many cases, is the result of your own actions or inactions.  Blaming those who have more is a left-wing cop-out.  True, you can’t control how you came into this world but you do have some control over where you go and how you leave it.  It’s up to each individual to find their own happiness.  Happiness is not a government subsidy. 

America is the best place to turn poverty into prosperity or to turn stumbling blocks into building blocks. Have we become so over sensitive that we must allow the government to regulate everything we do, see, hear, eat, think and say?  The truth cannot be regulated.  Manure, however, can be shoveled anywhere.  This administration has provided an endless supply of shovel ready missions.

I heard something rather interesting on the radio.  Unfortunately, it turned depressing, not the news, but the twist which followed...  

Hillary Clinton Campaign Shuts Out Reporter | TheBlaze.com

Hillary Clinton Campaign Shuts Out Reporter | TheBlaze.com:

"Pool reporters represent the other reporters in the news media who cover a candidate when the space for an event is too small to fit a large crowd of journalists. The pooler sends reports back to other news organizations, who can disseminate those dispatches in their own coverage. Thus, blocking pool coverage from a single reporter can block widespread media coverage."

Budget office: U.S. debt picture has 'worsened dramatically'

Budget office: U.S. debt picture has 'worsened dramatically' | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"Congress' budget office again warned that the U.S. faces a massive debt problem Tuesday, using stark language to describe the government's long-term mismatch between spending and revenues even as it slightly upgraded its projections for debt over the next 25 years.
"The long-term outlook for the federal budget has worsened dramatically over the past several years, in the wake of the 2007-2009 recession and slow recovery," the Congressional Budget Office reported in its long-term budget outlook for 2015 released Tuesday.
The Budget Office, a nonpartisan in-house think tank for Congress, projected that the federal debt is set to rise from 74 percent of economic output today to 103 percent by 2040, driven by spending on government healthcare and retirement programs and interest payments on the debt.

Muhammad Cartoon Contest Organizer Pamela Geller Describes the ‘Devastating’ Moment That ‘Shattered’ Her Belief About Freedom | TheBlaze.com:

“Clearly, the security apparatus has changed … you can’t go anywhere without an army,” Geller said of her current need for around-the-clock security after her cartoon contest enraged Islamic State members. “This is the price of freedom in America in 2015 for showing a little cartoon. That’s how bad things are.”

She went on to dismiss critics who claim that she’s simply trying to make a name for herself by holding events that some Muslims find offensive."


Have we really forgotten what life was like prior to this horrible event?  Pamela Geller is painfully aware of the threat that is facing our great country.  She has put her life on the line in the name of freedom.  May God bless her and keep her safe.

Inside Every Liberal Is a Totalitarian Screaming to Get Out: The Death of the Neighborhood

Inside Every Liberal Is a Totalitarian Screaming to Get Out: The Death of the Neighborhood:

Editor’s note: 
The following is the first in a series of articles that will center on the Frontpage motto: “Inside every liberal is a totalitarian screaming to get out.” 
Each piece will examine recent examples of leftist overreach and expose the totalitarian mindset animating these excesses. 

A policy at least two years in the making, and President Obama’s broadest attempt to fundamentally transform the United States of America, is moving forward. Unveiled in July of 2013 at the NAACP convention, a plan known as “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” (AFFH) will require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every neighborhood in America and attempt to “fix” these alleged problems. 
The move little more than social engineering on steroids, giving further credence to the slogan emblazoned on the Frontpage Magazine masthead: “Inside every liberal is a totalitarian screaming to get out.”

The final regulations are due out this month and HUD is pitching them as a plan to “diversify” America. 

“HUD is working with communities across the country to fulfill the promise of equal opportunity for all,” a spokeswoman for the agency explained. 

“The proposed policy seeks to break down barriers to access to opportunity in communities supported by HUD funds...” 

Carr: Nut case upping the ante on Granny Liz

Carr: Nut case upping the ante on Granny Liz | Boston Herald
Rachel Dolezal is Elizabeth Warren on steroids.
Granny was a fake Indian until she got what she wanted — tenure — and then she went back to being “Okie down to her toes,” as she put it.
On the other hand, Rachel — and may I call her “Racial”? — is a nut case.
She really believes she’s black.
Granny’s box-checking resembled a mob hit man’s crimes.
She did it for profit, for financial gain, period. Racial is like a serial killer; she can’t help herself.
It’s the difference between a professional arsonist and a firebug.
Granny claimed her parents had to elope because of the anti-Indian racism. 
(Forget the fact that they got married in the biggest church in the next town over, then immediately returned to their own tank town that same evening for a big wedding reception.)
Racial Dolezal upped the ante, big-time.
Her father — her made-up black father, that is — had to flee Jim Crow cracker justice in Georgia. She’s on the record as saying her imaginary dad took the midnight train, not to, but out of Georgia — so there, Gladys Knight and the Pips!

CLASS PROJECT: 6th graders target Apple over ‘child labor’ - EAGnews.org:
"BRISTOL, Conn. – West Bristol school library assistant Judy Michaud has created quite a group of global justice advocates.
Fourteen primary school students presented articles this week to parents, family members and local politicians as part of the West Bristol School Howler Newspaper Club, and their covering some pretty heavy political topics: child labor, human rights, hunger, gender equality, species extinction and other global justice causes.
...Students were allowed to select the topic of their choice,” the Howler reads.
“The assignment was to decide whether or not your topic was fine enough to ‘leave it alone’ or if instead your topic demanded society to ‘turn over a new leaf.’”
Miraculously, all of the students decided on their own to “turn over a new leaf,” Michaud, the student newspaper’s editor, told The Bristol Press.
“Meeting a few mornings a week, they had not only researched their topics and were working toward the arduous task of writing their pieces, but took part in lively discussion focusing on current events,” Michaud said..."

UK draws up contingency plan as Bank of Greece warns of 'uncontrollable crisis'

UK draws up contingency plan as Bank of Greece warns of 'uncontrollable crisis' - live updates | Business | The Guardian:

In a new report, the Bank of Greece warned that the country’s membership of the European Union, as well as the eurozone currency bloc, is now at stake.

It said:

Failure to reach an agreement would....mark the beginning of a painful course that would lead initially to a Greek default and ultimately to the country’s exit from the euro area and – most likely – from the European Union.

A manageable debt crisis, as the one that we are currently addressing with the help of our partners, would snowball into an uncontrollable crisis, with great risks for the banking system and financial stability. An exit from the euro would only compound the already adverse environment, as the ensuing acute exchange rate crisis would send inflation soaring.

Feds Can’t Verify $2.8 Billion in Obamacare Subsidies

Feds Can’t Verify $2.8 Billion in Obamacare Subsidies | Washington Free Beacon
CMS does not know if subsidies went to ‘confirmed enrollees, in the correct amounts’
The federal government cannot verify nearly $3 billion in subsidies distributed through Obamacare, putting significant taxpayer funding “at risk,” according to a new audit report.
...“[The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] CMS’s internal controls did not effectively ensure the accuracy of nearly $2.8 billion in aggregate financial assistance payments made to insurance companies under the Affordable Care Act during the first four months that these payments were made,” the OIG said.
“CMS’s system of internal controls could not ensure that CMS made correct financial assistance payments,” they said.
The OIG reviewed subsidies paid to insurance companies between January and April 2014.
The audit found that CMS did not have a process to “prevent or detect any possible substantial errors” in subsidy payments...
