“Please, tell the world what she’s really like,” implored Patricia Smith when recounting Hillary Clinton’s aggressive on-air denial of the facts of their private conversation about the death of her son, Sean Smith, in the 2012 attack on the US embassy in Libya.

The interview comes on the heels of a new report compiled by House Republicans that accuses the Obama administration of deliberately responding to the assault slowly – for political gain. It also adds to the evidence against Hillary Clinton, who as then-Secretary of State flatly denied telling any of the victims’ families about the video Innocence of Muslims, which emerged online shortly prior to the terrifying attack and was later presented by the Obama administration as the suspected motivating factor behind it.   Continue reading “‘She lied to me, then called me a liar on TV’: Mother of slain Benghazi victim on Hillary Clinton”

Gov. Bill Walker’s administration said the checks had to be reduced in order to save the program. The veto “preserves that ability to provide a check to every citizen in this state forever,” his budget director, Pat Pitney, said.   Continue reading “Alaska governor limits annual oil-wealth checks to $1,000”

An FBI agent testified during a Wednesday detention hearing that a Tooele County man showed no remorse when he thought — incorrectly — that he had bombed a Bureau of Land Management cabin on the Arizona Strip the night of June 21.

The federal defender for William Keebler, meanwhile, said undercover agents proposed the explosive types, drove Keebler to the location, placed the bomb, handed Keebler a remote trigger and told him to press the button three times.

Keebler knew the cabins to be unoccupied, said Lynn Donaldson, and his actions amounted to “an extreme act of disobedience, in the nature of vandalism.”   Continue reading “FBI agent: Investigation of alleged attempted bomber began after his involvement at Bundy Ranch”

THREE OUT OF FOUR Americans think government corruption is widespread. Donald Trump became the Republican nominee for president in part by claiming he couldn’t be bought. Bernie Sanders almost grabbed the Democratic nomination away from one of the most famous and powerful people on earth by decrying the influence of big money.

Yet by overturning the bribery conviction of Bob McDonnell, the former governor of Virginia, the Supreme Court this week just extended its incredible run of decisions driven by the concern that America has too many restrictions on money in politics.   Continue reading “Supreme Court Eliminates Political Corruption!
