• Dem. Congressman: Susan Rice’s Benghazi Talking Points ‘Absolutely’ False

  May 5, 2013 at 3:06pm

  The “administration” response was a lie to begin with. Who told the American people about it?

  The President… NO. The White House spokesman, Jay Carney… NO.
  The Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton… NO. The Asst Secstate…NO. The Asst Secstate for the Middle East… NO. The Deputy Secstate for Physical Security…NO.

  They wheeled out UN Ambassador Rice….WTF??? What did her duties/functions have to do with Libya and the attack on the compound? Gee, I guess the Interior Secretary, the Commerce Secretary, or even the white house janitor was unavailable.

• 25-Year-Old U.S. Diplomat Killed in Afghanistan Attack — First Diplomat Killed Since Benghazi

  April 7, 2013 at 3:31pm

  Folks… Don’t get your panties in a bunch over the term “diplomat.” This is simply an old-world definition for “foreign service officer.” The State Dept is broken down under two major categories: Foreign Service Officers, which are the “white collar,” employees that will work their way up the embassy/consulate food chain for positions. The other is the technical/support/administrative employees (blue collar worker bees). Those are the commications, logistics/supply, secretarial, security, etc. staff members. From the article, she worked in the Public Affairs Office. Definitely, by her age, not on top of the departmental food chain.
  Disclosure: I was the Navy Ship Coordinator, working in the United Arab Emirates (Nov 2000 – Apr 2002). My “workplace” was at the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi (in a back room space within the Defense Attache Office)… but technically, did not work for the State Dept. My “****” belonged to a U.S. Navy logistics command (COMNAVLOGCENT) based out of Bahrain.

• Wild Vid: Off-Duty Cop Tackles Homeless Woman as She Viciously Attacks and Holds TSA Agent in a Headlock

  April 5, 2013 at 9:38pm

  The TSA agent was worthless. Most of the incident was “grappling”. The off duty police officer subdued the woman. What is the TSA agent doing? Backs off and just stands there. When the other TSA agents converge on the scene… do they help the police officer? No. They go to their co-worker. I think the majority of TSA staff were the bottom of the barrel from other federal agencies/departments. They jumped on the “new” agency band wagon because they were failing within their old agencies.

• Rejected: Gun Store Cancels AR-15 Purchase by Gabby Giffords’ Husband

  REALINDEPENDENT’s earlier post (Mar 25, 1:17pm) regarding the 2nd Amendment. “If you read
  that and think it wasn’t the Founders plan to have a national guard or Militia if you will. And not for everyone to have a gun for whatever reason they want. You are lying to yourself and others.”

  Thanks for showing your ignorance of the “founders’ plan.” Let’s just look at their actual words:

  “Who are the Militia? They consist now of the whole people, except for a few public officers.” George Mason

  “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” Thomas Jefferson

  MY FAVORITE: “The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.” Thomas Jefferson

  “…to disarm the people is the best and most effective way to enslave them…” George Mason

  “Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.” George Washington

  “The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference they deserve a place of honor with all that is good.” George Washington

  “Americans have the right and advantage of being armed – unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.“ James Madison

  “Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion… in private self-defense.” Jo

• That Suicide at a Florida College on Monday Was Actually a Massive Plot to Massacre Students Gone Wrong

  March 19, 2013 at 8:46am

  AP… figures. How about we come up with a more accurate definition for the lib press. In all future news stories, just use “SCARY-LOOKING BLACK” when describing the weapon. Feel free to add a pause and “EEK!” to show your emotions. Example: “The suspect had a scary-looking black rifle…Eek!”

• Woman to 911: Please Send Officer to ‘Scare the Sh** Out of My Kids’ … Police to Woman: Welcome to Jail

  March 15, 2013 at 1:03pm

  She should talk to my Mom… She had no problem scaring the **** out of us (5 kids) all by herself. Kids 1 and 3, and she can’t handle them??? Wait until they’re teenagers. Article didn’t say if she was married or not… don’t know if she could use the big guns “wait until your Dad gets home.”

• White House Cancels All Public Tours and Blames Sequester

  March 5, 2013 at 3:55pm

  The “one” is now taking a page out of leftist (D) mayors’ handbook. No tax increases = I cut police, fire, ambulance/EMT services and trash pickup. Now as mayor, I will retain my wife and her three worthless sisters (my assistants don’t you know), my deadbeat cousins, etc. down in the municipal motor pool (who either don’t so up to work, or if they do, play solitaire or surf porn on city time). God forbid, I take some cuts that are logical: Like instead of grass cutting in the city parks every week, change it to every other week.

• Burn: NBA Commissioner Says Obama’s ‘Not That Good’ at Basketball — ‘He’s a Lefty, He Goes the Same Way Every Time’

  October 27, 2012 at 12:25pm

  Priceless comment: ‘He’s a Lefty, He Goes the Same Way Every Time’…. I agree, and I’m NOT talking about basketball. Gov Romney should use this in his stump speeches.

• Unless You’ve Been Shot at by the Taliban ‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’: Allen West Weighs in on Urinating Marine Scandal

  January 15, 2012 at 11:30am

  Agree with Rep West except on two points: (1) You’ll never win an argument by adding “unless you’ve (fill in the blank), shut up.” Everyone, right or wrong has their opinion. (2) On top of the Commanding Officer’s (CO) Article 15 hearing, he added a General Officer’s Letter or Reprimand. No need to get a General involved. Just let their CO handle it has his level.

• ‘Kids Make Stupid Mistakes’: Perry Slams Obama Admin’s Reaction to Urinating Marine Scandal

  January 15, 2012 at 11:18am

  Was the Marines conduct wrong? Yes. Should they be punished? Yes. I’m sure they have all been trained on the proper handling of enemy dead. However, the it should go is via the military’s non-judicial punishment system (Article 15, UCMJ). My two cents: senior person present: reduced in rank by one paygrade. The rest: reduced in rank by one paygrade, suspended (suspended is a way of holding a punishment over their heads… if they don’t get into any further trouble (usually 3 to 6 months), the reduction portion of the punishment goes away. If any of the participants are E-1 (and can’t go down in rank any farther), prohibit their chance for advancement for 3 to 6 months. I liked what Rep West had said on the subject, except for one thing. He wanted to add a general officer’s letter of reprimand to the mix. Thought that would be overkill. Just let their commanding officer handle it at his level.
