Scandal: To the White House and Clinton campaigns, the Benghazi scandal just won't go away. A new congressional report says that the Obama White House and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton intentionally lied to the American people about the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. The lies just keep piling up.
The 800-page report, the culmination of two years of investigation, is another damning piece of evidence of Clinton's failure as the nation's top diplomat.
The report, from the House Select Committee on Benghazi, says that the White House knew it wasn't telling the truth when it told the American people that the attacks that led to the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stephens, were caused by a mob reacting to an insulting video posted on the internet.
But after reviewing new evidence, the Benghazi committee found conclusive evidence that Obama and Clinton were covering up the truth. Both had immediate access to intelligence that showed, in fact, that it was no mob but an orchestrated attack by Islamic terrorists on a U.S. diplomatic facility.
"It's largely undisputed that she had that information, and that's the way she articulated it privately that night," Rep. Mike Pompeo told the Washington Examiner in an interview.

United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice went on the Sunday talk shows on Sept. 16 and brazenly denied that the murders of Americans was a terror attack.
Congress found emails from State Department officials indicating that they knew she had lied. Some officials said in email discussions that Rice was "off the reservation."
"The horse has left the barn on this, don't you think?" one Libya expert at the State Department asked another in an email. "Rice was on FIVE Sunday Morning shows yesterday saying this. Tough to walk back."
In another email, an official commented on a news article with the title: "White House sees no sign attack premeditated."
"Can you believe this?" the official wrote.
Americans are right to ask themselves: Why did the White House lie to the American people? And why did Hillary Clinton lie to the parents and other survivors of those who were killed?
For Obama, he wanted to be able to declare victory over terrorism in the weeks before the 2012 election. Hillary's reasons were, like Obama's, political. She knew her policies in Libya were to blame, and didn't want knowledge of it to ruin her future political career. So she lied, rather than tell the truth.
Hillary's campaign has responded that this report is merely a political vendetta. Does a person who lied repeatedly to the American people and to the victims' families really deserve to be entrusted with the U.S. presidency, the most powerful elected position on earth?

Report form Bob Patterson Republican Candidate for the House of Represntatives

A deeply troubling, new report was released today showing that Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration failed our men in Benghazi in more ways than we ever knew. Among its findings:

"A Fleet Anti terrorism Security Team (FAST) sat on a plane in Rota, Spain, for three hours, and changed in and out of their uniforms four times." [pg. 154]

 
Four times!?

That's appalling.
But all Hillary Clinton can say is,"it is time to move on." And even worse, Donald Norcross has nothing to say.
Absolutely nothing about the failure of Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration to help our Ambassador, our foreign service officer, and the Americans who were there to protect them.
Sadly, this failure of leadership by Hillary Clinton and Donald Norcross is exactly what we've come to expect in South Jersey: politics and Party come first for powerbrokers and insiders like Donald Norcross.
South Jersey can do better; I will do better for South Jersey... but I need your help.
Please make the most generous contribution you can today. The June 30 FEC fundraising deadline is almost here.
We need elected officials who will hold politicians accountable no matter what party they belong to. We don't need powerborkers and political insiders whose main goal is consolidating political power.
Join our team and help put the insiders on the outside in 2016.

Britain Finally Has Her July 4th

Bravo, Britain

Editorial of The New York Sun | June 24, 2016

‘We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them re-imposed at a European level with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels. Certainly we want to see Europe more united and with a greater sense of common purpose. But it must be in a way which preserves the different traditions, parliamentary powers and sense of national pride in one’s own country; for these have been the source of Europe’s vitality through the centuries.’
* * *
Those are the words with which Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher set in motion the lunge for liberty that Britain has just taken. She was speaking, in September 1988, to the College of Europe at Bruges. Those who were in Belgium then will never forget it. Yet the mandarins of Brussels ignored her warnings, condescended to those who shared her concerns, and took Great Britain for granted. How we wish the Iron Lady could have been alive to see the vindication Britons have just delivered.
The vote to exit the European Union — to declare British independence — was unambiguous. Those who wanted to remain in Europe, pleading for permissions from un-elected commissars, lost by more than a million votes. In the privacy of the voting booth, Britons placed their bet on the “sunlit meadows” of freedom evoked by Brexit’s most eloquent champion, Boris Johnson (who came to his views in respect of the EU the same way the editor of the Sun did, by covering it for a newspaper).
Britain’s gamble is all the more remarkable for coming, as it did, in the face of what has become known as “project fear.” That is Prime Minister Cameron’s campaign to tilt the referendum he himself had called and to which he could have played neutral host. He tried to tilt it against, in Elizabeth II, his own sovereign, who stands at the head of a monarchy that has been sovereign for a thousand years. There are not as many molecules in a jackass as there proved to be editorials in the Financial Times warning against independence.

No doubt some will attempt to write off this vote as the fruit of xenophobia and bigotry. We wouldn’t gainsay the suggestion that these strands exist (elsewhere than in Britain, too); yet we doubt Brexit would have prevailed had that been what it was about. This triumph began to take off precisely when Mr. Johnson and the Tory minister of Justice, Michael Gove, as well as leaders like Lord Lawson, Thatcher’s chancellor of the exchequer, began pushing to the fore the principles of liberty and property and sovereignty.

What a sad thing that President Obama joined the campaign against British independence. He blundered in threatening that a vote for Brexit would strand Britain at the “back of the queue” for an American trade agreement; imagine FDR saying something like that to Churchill (not to compare the EU, even at its worst, to Hitler). One of the greatest advantages Brexit offers is the logic of an expanded special relationship with America, the vast British Commonwealth, and the entrepreneurial nations.

What an opportunity for America — and for the Republicans. Hillary Clinton trundled in behind Mr. Obama against the idea of an independent Britain, and the Democrats are going to have to deal with that. Donald Trump conducted himself far more wisely, saying that he would “personally be more inclined to leave” but stressing that he was not a British citizen and the vote was up to them. Let him and the Speaker, Paul Ryan, waste no time in pursuing a strategy to move Britain to the front of the queue for an American trade deal.

Finally let us spare a thought for Europe. It is involved in its own great struggle, and in the face of a revanchist Russia. And there has always been a danger that the Brexit vote could be interpreted as disunity in the West (a point that was made this week in the New York Post by one of America’s finest young journalists, James Kirchick). Yet it would also be a mistake to suppose that unity can be imposed on Europe by a socialist camarilla sitting in Brussels. The best defense for Europe is the kind of liberty for which Britain has just stood.

"The callousness of local officials and indifference of local and national media reminds me very much of an international incident that went viral on YouTube earlier this year in the eastern German town of Bad Schlema -- located in a region overrun by Muslim refugees.
A concerned grandfather whose granddaughter under the age of 10 was sexually harassed by Muslim migrants protested to mayor Jens Muller. In response to his plea for help, Muller told the elderly man to direct his family to "not walk in areas" where refugees would be.
"Just don't provoke them and don't walk in those areas."
The grandfather lamented at the public meeting: "You're not allowed to walk in your own city anymore."
To which the jaded mayor replied: "This is the way it is."
Thank goodness there are Americans still fighting against the collective shrug of sovereignty surrender. Louder, please."

Reading Between The (Head)lines

When nonproductive assets such as precious metals are worth more than productive ones like stocks and bonds that's not a good sign. (AP)

• 6/10/2016

Economy: You can learn an awful lot about what’s going on in the world these days just by reading a few of the headlines scrolling across your computer. Late last week was no different.
Three headlines in particular caught our attention: “Bond Yields Around The World Fall To Records On Growth Outlook,” “Why Big Investors Think It’s Time To Hoard Gold,” and “Baby Bust: 2015 Had Lowest U.S. Fertility Rate Ever, Down 600,000 Births.”
All of these seemingly disparate headlines have a very profound — and sadly, negative — message to deliver about global economic growth: Namely, the boom times are over. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Start with the bond yields. Some $10 trillion in global government bonds now carry a negative interest rate, with 14 countries now charging savers for the privilege of holding their bonds. Former Pimco bond guru Bill Gross called this a “supernova that will explode one day.”
Why is this so negative? As investors will tell you, in addition to signaling supply and demand for credit, government bond rates also serve as a useful forecasting tool for GDP. So the sudden collapse of bond rates around the world suggests investors are incredibly bearish about global economic growth and deflation for the next two to 10 years at least.
Then there’s gold. Gold has always been a store of alternative value in times of turmoil. So it’s no surprise that with a scary presidential contest in the U.S., Brexit in Europe, negative interest rates, an increasingly assertive China and Russia, and turmoil in the Mideast, that gold would start to regain its appeal.
But if, as the gold headline suggests, “big investors” are moving into gold, what does it also say? One thing: That nonproductive assets (gold, precious metals) are worth more these days than productive ones (stocks, bonds). That’s never a good sign.
Finally there’s the baby bust. Yes, fertility rates have been trending down for years around the world. But the U.S. had been an exception — until the Great Recession. Now our actuarial estimates for the number of workers, retirees and households are all going to have to be dramatically reduced. Since both population growth and productivity growth are both barely at 1%, it’s not very bullish for our ability to expand output in the long run.
As we said, it doesn’t have to be this way.
We got here because of bad policies, both on the fiscal side of government and the monetary side. Fed Chair Janet Yellen said last week that investors should stop looking to the Fed for guidance on interest rates. She’s right. There’s nothing else the Fed can do. It should stop sending conflicting signals to the markets — take some time off.
Instead, investors should turn their focus to fiscal policies, both in the U.S. and around the world. Meddling governments have raised taxes, spending, debt and regulation to such levels that productive investment is barely profitable. Not surprisingly, new business formation is weak and so is job growth.
How do we fix it? Reversing those disastrous policies through the ballot box is the only real fix left.

Our Wise Latina Justice Sonia Sotomayor Defends Trump

In the recent brouhaha about Donald Trump's complaint that a La Raza advocate is overseeing a trial in which Trump is the defendent, here's what Justice Sonia Sotomayor had to about judicial impartiality.

This wasn’t the only thing Ms. Sotomayor said, though.

She also held that “our experiences as women and people of color affect our decisions.”

And: The “aspiration to impartiality ... denies the fact that we are by our experiences making different choices than others.”

And: “Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences ... our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.”

And: “We may have different perspectives, either as some theorists suggest because of our cultural experiences or as others postulate because we have basic differences in logic and reasoning.”

And: “A difference there will be by the presence of women and people of color on the bench. Personal experiences affect the facts that judges choose to see.”

And a lot more along those same lines.

 Remember a vote that is not cast,  is a vote for Hilary.

A vote for a third party is a vote for Hilary.

If anything tell all friends and relations to vote for Republicans for Congress!

(Reuters) - Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee who has led a movement to derail Donald Trump's nomination, said on Friday he would not consider running for the White House.

In an interview with CNN, Romney said he will not vote for either Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, or Democrat Hillary Clinton in the Nov. 8 election.

(Reporting by Eric Beech in Washington)

Is that because Republicans would not vote for him in 2012? Why should Republicans listen to him now. Remember his gutless debate performance when he would not put away Obama. Then his running mate allowed the Clown Joe Biden upstage hinm and not call attention to his antics or even criticize. 

Trump may not be the proper candidate but will we miss another opportunity to take back our country with a Republican Congrees and Republican White-house?

Before It's Too Late: A Message to Our Friends, and Your Family, in Europe

Trump's Revolution

Our country is in decline — and NeverTrump doesn’t get it.

“Practical men who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist,” wrote John Maynard Keynes. Today we’re witnessing a populist backlash against political establishments, especially in the Republican Party, and the defunct economist who best explains it is Mancur Olson (1932-1998).

In The Rise and Decline of Nations, Olson described how a successful economy would descend into stagflation and immobility through a paralyzing growth of regulations and barriers to business entry. Interest groups will become more and more powerful until they strangle the economy with wasteful laws and red tape that transfer wealth to themselves at the expense of the economy as a whole. When that happens, Olson suggested, the best we can hope for is a revolution that pulverizes the special interests. The problem is that this ordinarily requires something like the kind of crushing military defeat Germany and Japan suffered after Word War II, and that’s not something anyone would wish on the United States.

On a smaller scale, however, parliamentary countries have shown themselves able to turn things around when voters have had enough and a majority government comes to power with a real reform agenda. With its sclerotic separation of powers, that’s harder to do in a presidential country such as the United States. Given gridlock and the lack of a legislative reverse gear, presidential countries must normally wait until their problems reach crisis levels before they can act.

And that explains the Trump revolution. His supporters understand that we’re in the kind of crisis described by Olson, one in which the country must continue to decline and in which our children will never have it as well off as we did, unless there’s a radical change. Sensing that, they’re willing to forgive the troubling things they hear Trump say, the personal invective, the attacks on a federal judge, the willingness to waterboard.

Don’t you get it, the NeverTrump people ask us? Yes we do. We’re not happy about it, and we’d like to think things like that would never happen. We like it when Trump reverses himself, as he often does.

But what about you, we ask them. Our country is in decline. Don’t you get it? Or are you simply too comfortable with the way things are? I once gave a talk to a group of conservatives about the rise of an American aristocracy, and a D.C. insider from the audience thought to correct me. Yes, he said, we’re going to Hell in a hand-basket, but this time we’ve got a lot of great little magazines and think tanks on our side. However bad it might be for the country, I’ve got mine!

These are the people who, conscious of their own salvation, gave us the distinction between themselves and the 47 percent of takers. I thank Thee, Lord, they pray, that I am not as they are, the unjust, the adulterers, the publicans with their Make America Great Again caps.

Their smug self-satisfaction reaches odious heights when they lecture us on the rottenness of Trump supporters. Here is National Review’s David French, on our moral failings. “Americans are killing themselves and destroying their families at an alarming rate. No one is making them do it. The economy isn’t putting a bottle in their hand. Immigrants aren’t making them cheat on their wives or snort OxyContin.”

In the circumstances, the unwashed Trump supporter can be forgiven for thinking that the scribes and hypocrites have given up on him. And if Trump chooses to shock them, so much the better. What the Trump supporter understands is another economic theory, called signaling: Promises are more credible when the promisor is willing to bear a cost in making them. Bankers are more willing to believe the guy who backs up his loan application by offering to mortgage his house, and we’re more likely to believe that Trump will clean out the stable if he shows that he’s willing to be politically incorrect.

And the more we wince, the more we believe his promises.

Dangerous talk, says the NeverTrumper, who is quick to detect a whiff of fascism in the air. Trump would rule like a strongman, they tell us. I don’t know where people have been, but we’ve been ruled by a strongman for the last eight years, and it’s not as if things would be much different under Queen Hillary.

As for fascism, that’s ridiculous. There’s a kind of person, remarked Hannah Arendt, who always feels as if the dark night of fascism is about to descend on the United States — but somehow it always lands in Europe. Americans don’t do fascism, and especially a guy from Queens doesn’t do fascism. If you’re looking for someone who’s intolerant, a jumped-up Robespierre, you’re more likely to find him in a college tearoom than in a construction site or in the Trump Tower. As for the NeverTrump crowd, they’ve shown they can give lessons in intolerance.

Tiger Woods

HERE IS SOME SIMPLY AMAZING INFORMATION.

Isn't it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years?

And, they even uncovered photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc.!

Furthermore, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a 9-iron from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade.

Not only that, they know which wedge!

And, each & every day, they were able to continue to provide America with updates on Tiger's sex rehab stay, his wife's divorce settlement figures, as well as the dates tournaments in which he was to play.

          ---------------------------------------

Now Barack Hussein Obama has been in office for over seven years, yet this very same press:

·Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors;

·Nor find any of Obama's high school or college classmates;

·Nor locate any of his college papers or grades;

·Nor determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard education;

·Nor discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's;

·Nor even find Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on racism.

They just can't seem to uncover any of this.

Yet, the public still trusts that same press to give them the whole truth!

Don't you find that totally amazing ?

NOW TELL ME THERE IS NO CORRUPTION IN THE AMERICAN PRESS.

Remember, you can not get the water to clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.

Ryan, Speaker of the House, endorses Trump

By James Arkin
June 02, 2016

After weeks of withholding his support, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan announced Thursday he plans to vote for Donald Trump for president this fall.
Ryan’s endorsement is a major step toward the entire GOP unifying around Trump as its nominee, and ends speculation that the nation’s top-elected Republican might not back his party’s candidate for president.
In an op-ed published in a local Wisconsin newspaper, the Badger State congressman cited the policy agenda he and House Republicans have been developing this year and said conversations with Trump about that agenda persuaded him to endorse.
“Through these conversations, I feel confident [Trump] would help us turn the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve people’s lives. That’s why I’ll be voting for him this fall,” Ryan wrote.
The endorsement comes one month after Ryan shocked the political world by saying he wasn’t yet prepared to back his party’s nominee. Since then, the two men have spoken multiple times, including at a highly publicized meeting brokered by Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. Many Republicans believed Ryan would eventually announce his support, but the speaker continued throughout May to say he wasn’t prepared to back the party’s presumptive nominee.

A source close to Ryan said he last spoke with Trump last week, and made the decision to endorse him earlier this week. The source said it was too early to predict whether Ryan would actively campaign for or raise money with Trump, or to predict what the speaker’s role as chair of the Republican National Convention would look like. The source added that Ryan’s focus remains on helping House Republicans to maintain their majority. A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Ryan said Thursday he’s talked with Trump “at great length” about broad GOP principles including limits on executive power and the importance of pro-life beliefs, but that the main focus of their conversations has been the policies Ryan is promoting, include reducing poverty, repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, tax reform, strong national security, and setting clear standards on executive overreach.
House Republicans have developed task forces to tackle these different issues and Ryan said they plan to roll out this policy agenda over the next month, starting with a plan to fight poverty that will be released next week. Ryan indicated that Trump would be supportive of that agenda.
“For me, it’s a question of how to move ahead on the ideas that I—and my House colleagues—have invested so much in through the years,” Ryan said. “It’s not just a choice of two people, but of two visions for America. And House Republicans are helping shape that Republican vision by offering a bold policy agenda, by offering a better way ahead.”
The source close to Ryan said the policies have been “fairly fleshed out” and that Trump is aware of policy details, not just broad ideas. The source said there was mostly a discussion of areas where there is broad agreement, and not about things where there is significant disagreement between Ryan and Trump, including immigration.
While Ryan avoided weighing in fully on the presidential race while the primary was competitive, he did speak out against Trump multiple times before the business mogul won the nomination, including denouncing Trump’s call to ban Muslims from entering the country and the fact that he didn’t immediately disavow the backing of David Duke, the former leader Ku Klux Klan leader. Despite now backing Trump to become the most powerful man in the world, Ryan said he would continue to speak out if similar issues arise during the campaign.
“It’s no secret that he and I have our differences,” Ryan said of Trump. “I won’t pretend otherwise. And when I feel the need to, I’ll continue to speak my mind. But the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement.”
Ryan’s announcement came as likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was delivering a major foreign policy address in which she questioned Trump’s ability and credentials to lead the United States. A Ryan spokesman tweeted that it was a coincidence that the announcement came during Clinton’s speech.
Democrats immediately pounced on Ryan’s endorsement, with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sending out a fundraising email to supporters within an hour of the news breaking. DCCC spokeswoman Meredith Kelly said in a statement that Ryan’s support of Trump was “obvious” and “inevitable.”
“House Republicans will be inseparably tied to their toxic frontrunner in November, case closed,” Kelly said.
