My reports on the failure of State Department and the White House to treat the attack in Benghazi last September as a terrorist incident was confirmed today courtesy of White House officials. More importantly, they confirmed that State Department whistle blower, Mark Thompson, was telling the truth last week. Attkisson confirms Thompson’s account that Under [...]

The judgment of the intelligence community with respect to the attacks in Benghazi is very clear on two points–the video was not relevant and Al Qaeda was directly involved. Of particular note is this from the early draft of the CIA: The crowd almost certainly was a mix of individuals from across many sectors of [...]

Lost amidst the furor over the Obama Administration’s use of the IRS as a political weapon, bullying the Associated Press and failing to protect American diplomats in Libya is a new story of incompetence at the CIA. It appears, based on news reports from Russia and the US State Department’s muted response, that a CIA [...]

The convergence of the Benghazi coverup with the news that the IRS was targeting conservative groups and that Obama’s Department of Justice moved secretly to get the records of A.P. reporters and editors is shaping up to be the political equivalent of the Perfect Storm (you know, the movie that drowned George Clooney and Mark [...]

How dumb is Jay Carney? Seriously, to go before the White House Press Corp and insist that the White House and State Department only changed one phrase in the CIA drafted talking points–removing the word, “consulate” and inserting the phrase, “diplomatic facility.” Now, thanks to reporting from Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard and Jonathan [...]

I am working odd shifts and cannot routinely write. I will be addressing Juan Cole’s piece regarding the 10 so-called Benghazi myths. In the meantime, here’s my appearance on Geraldo last Saturday. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com So, with that little warm up let me address Juan Cole’s recent piece citing ten “myths” surrounding [...]

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl has now marked the start of what is likely to become a press feeding frenzy as the media herd concedes that there is fire beneath the smoldering embers of the Benghazi scandal. I say scandal because of the deliberate cover up by the Obama White House and the Clinton Department of [...]

State Department whistleblowers appeared on Wednesday before the House Government Operations and Reform Committee and proceeded to blow major holes in the deceitful narrative pushed by both Obama’s White House and Hillary’s State Department. Hillary in particular was damaged significantly today and exposed as the liar and bully many on the right have long claimed [...]

You knew this was coming. Facing accusations from State Department insiders of negligence and deceit, Hillary and some of her lackeys are trying to impugn the testimony of Mark Thompson even before Mark has had the chance to testify. The Hillary supporter, Dan Benjamin, who was appointed as the Coordinator for Counterterrorism, put out this [...]

I suppose your personal views about Israel determines what you think about its most recent bombing of Syria. Me? I think the leaders who authorized this action in Tel Aviv/Jerusalem are crazy and are putting Israel at unnecessary risk. Why? Up to this point the Sunni Arab world appeared to be united against Syria’s Bashir [...]

Lots going on with significant implications for the investigation into what really happened in Benghazi, Libya. First up? Excellent article at the Weekly Standard by Stephen Hayes detailing how State Department–Hillary Clinton in particular–changed what the intelligence community said about the role of Al Qaeda related group in the attack on our personnel at Benghazi: [...]

Yes sir. Leave it to the blind, deaf and dumb supporters of Barack Obama to lead with their chin. It is an easy punch in the puss for me. Our resident troll, writing under the nom de stupidity of Owen Von Richter III provided the following ignorant rebuttal to my earlier piece regarding the failure [...]

Why did the Special Ops guy agree to an interview with Adam Housely? Last night’s report on Fox makes it clear–Barack Obama is not doing his job as President and is turning a blind eye to the terrorist responsible for the death of Ambassador Stevens and the other three Americans last September: Watch the latest [...]

The news on Benghazi keeps coming and it is not good for Obama. After months of trying to cover up the truth of what happened, courageous men and women are coming forward. Fox News reported last night (accurately, I will add), that three career State Department personnel have obtained legal counsel in order to ensure [...]

I was the first to write about the high likelihood that Tamerlane Tsarnaev was radicalized by his mother and trained to make bombs somewhere in the Chechnya/Dagestan region. While the FBI continues to keep its investigation under wraps, emerging details point to the following sequence of events: 1) Tamerlane, distraught over the denial of his [...]

If you ever wondered the effect of emotional distress upon intellect, simply gaze at the visage of John McCain or Lindsey Graham or the myriad of Fox anchors fuming and sputtering over the audacity of a Federal judge to impose the 4th Amendment protection on a suspected terrorist who also just happens to be an [...]

I will admit that the title of this piece is deliberately provocative. But it is not far off the mark. I consider myself a traditional conservative, i.e., one who embraces the notion that my ancestors (19 of them) who fought in the American revolution fought against tyranny. As Boston and America freaked out last week [...]

As someone who supported Hillary’s campaign for President in 2008, I am not happy to write this. I admired the woman I met in her Washington, DC Senate office when I had the chance to brief her on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the fall of 2007. But I am shocked and ashamed [...]

A desperate media scrambles for a new story on the terrorism bombing of the Boston Marathon and is coming up with a hefty dose of garbage and misinformation. Example? Spreading the nonsense that this attack was ginned up solely on line by Tamerlane and Dzokhar, who reportedly read Al Qaeda’s Inspire magazine and decided to [...]

We have entered the tortured, Orewellian world of Animal Farm with the charges filed today against Dzokhar Tsarnaev in Boston: The Justice Department said Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, was charged in a criminal complaint unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. It said he is “specifically charged with one count of [...]
