With so much having already been written about Benghazi I have been hesitant to post about it, but I stumbled across something very interesting that could come into play when the Select Committee begins investigating not only what happened at Benghazi on September 11, 2012, but the cover up that followed and the continued attempts by the Obama administration to hide documents and information from Congress and the American people. A former elected official I follow on Twitter who appears to have contacts inside the Republican caucus in Congress has said the Jurney v. MacCracken Supreme Court decision in 1935 will be playing a role in the upcoming investigation. After reading about the case I can certainly see where this decision could have an impact on the proceedings. With former prosecutor Rep. Trey Gowdy running the committee I have every confidence he will use every possible leverage to get at the truth and this decision by the Court could […] → Keep reading

If things went as they should, President Obama’s State of the Union address to the nation this evening would be just a bit different than what he plans to say:
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, fellow citizens.
Tonight, I come before you to outline the reasons why the state of our union is poor. Very poor. I place blame on no one but myself. My policies have destroyed our economy, made unemployment skyrocket and raised our national debt by more than fifty percent.
For more than a year now I have lied to you about the events that transpired at our embassy in Benghazi. I knew within two hours that it was a terrorist attack but I ordered our military to stand down and, as a result, our ambassador and three other Americans were brutally murdered. I knew if the truth was known about my failure to act that it would severely harm my reelection so I […] → Keep reading

Last week at the University of Virginia, Attorney General Eric Holder had what The Daily Caller labeled a “friendly interview” and was asked if he would take back his 2009 remark that Americans are a “nation of cowards” on racial issues. “I would not take that back,” he replied.
In 2009 he spoke to his agency employees at an event celebrating Black History Month and said, “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been and we – I believe continue to be, in many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. Certain subjects are off-limits and that to explore them risks at best embarrassment, and at worst, the questioning of one’s character.”
In the interview last week he outlined his agenda for using his legal clout to equalize outcome for blacks.
The Daily Caller – During his tenure, Holder has greatly expanded the range of race-related lawsuits […] → Keep reading

Much has been made of the recent attacks on our embassies in Libya and Egypt and the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans. The Obama administration initially claimed the attacks were ‘spontaneous protests’ and scoffed at those who said these were planned attacks.
Last week the White House spokesman Jay Carney was finally admitting the truth, saying, “It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.”
Meanwhile, Obama was on Univision and responded to a question about whether the attacks were planned by saying, “We don’t know yet. We’re going to continue to investigate this.”
Why the difference of opinion on what happened? Why can’t Obama and his staff get their story straight? Before that can be answered there are two more reports that need to be examined.
First, in spite of the initial denials of the Obama administration, there are multiple reports of the US State Department having 48 to 72 hours […] → Keep reading
