“The U.S. effort in Benghazi was at its heart a CIA operation, according to the officials who briefed on intelligence.” WSJ, Nov 1, 2012

Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, finally appeared before the US Senate and House Foreign Relations Committees on Wednesday, January 23, after a long delay. She was asked many questions by the Congress about what had happened in Benghazi on September 11 and how this could happen. The problem with the responses she gave to these questions was that she focused on the narrative presented in the State Department Report that had been released a month earlier, and which is deeply flawed.   Continue reading “The Benghazi Affair: Uncovering the Mystery of the Benghazi CIA Annex”

The US House has approved a $612-billion measure to fund the military. The Obama administration and many Democrats opposed the defense policy bill for its alleged budgeting “gimmicks,” as well as its provisions for arming Ukrainian forces.

The House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2016 by a vote of 269 to 151. The bill authorizes $515 billion for so-called national defense spending, $89.2 billion for an emergency war fund, and an additional $7.7 billion in mandatory defense spending that does not receive authorization from Congress.   Continue reading “House passes Pentagon spending bill”

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Florida woman who fled to avoid the circumcision of her son was arrested Thursday for contempt of court, her attorney said.

Heather Hironimus went missing with her 4-year-old child nearly three months ago, going into hiding as her long court battle against the surgery reached its climax. Though her defenders said she was simply doing what she could to protect a child portrayed as “scared to death” of the procedure, a judge issued a scalding rebuke for her refusal to appear in court, charging her with contempt and issuing an arrest warrant.   Continue reading “Fla. woman who fled to avoid son’s circumcision is arrested”

OTTAWA – The Harper government moved to retroactively rewrite Canada’s access to information law in order to prevent possible criminal charges against the RCMP, The Canadian Press has learned.

An unheralded change buried in last week’s 167-page omnibus budget bill exempted all records from the defunct long-gun registry, and also any “request, complaint, investigation, application, judicial review, appeal or other proceeding under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act,” related to those old records.   Continue reading “Harper Government Retroactively Rewrites Gun Registry Law”

On Thursday afternoon the White House was locked down once again. This time it was because a man flew a remote-controlled aerial device over the White House fence. I guess the new spikes wouldn’t have made a difference in that situation.

The incident resulted in the park of the north side of the White House being placed on lockdown and investigated. That lockdown has since been lifted.   Continue reading “White House Locked Down AGAIN”

That is why on Thursday he told agency heads to prepare for the worst and asked them to list only the state’s most critical needs per the Associated Press.   Continue reading “Gov Scott Preparing For Shutdown”
