Here she is days after the attack on the Sunday shows, saying that it was ‘spontaneous reaction to video’, despite knowing full well it was a terrorist attack.

Some of the lies on the video:

1. “Our best information at this point is that it was a spontaneous reaction to what had happened hours earlier in Cairo, almost a copycat.” There was never any intel from the folks on the ground claiming there was a protest, and there was no reason to believe that one had taken place. The only source of this story was the Obama regime.

2. ‘Extremists’ joined the protests. Who just happened to be carrying RPGs and were connected with Al Qaeda.

3. No actionable intelligence to suggest an attack on Benghazi was imminent. Well, then you are dumb beyond words, and anyone who argues this like our Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should never hold the position of Commander in Chief. You had two prior bombings at the consulate, one in April by former security and one in June by Al Qaeda. You had multiple other countries pulling out of the area including Britain, because the situation was so unstable. You had specific threats against the life of Chris Stevens. Yet not only did you not increase the security, you pulled the one temporary team that they did have in August, the month before the deadly attack.

4. She claimed that they had ‘significant numbers of security in Benghazi’, another lie, and that Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were some of the security for the consulate. That of course was untrue, they were not regular security. the regular security had been farmed out to people who included Al Qaeda operatives.

She also went on Face The Nation, right after the Libyan Minister who said very clearly it was a terrorist attack based on his intel which as we now know included email communication that it was from Hillary Clinton. His look after what she said was priceless, and I’ll never forget it, he couldn’t believe what she was saying, or that effectively she seemed to be calling him a liar. The him referred to in the following video is the Libyan Minister.

But will anyone care?

Via Breitbart:

Hillary Clinton admitted to the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Thursday evening that she broke the law in handling security for the U.S. consulate there.

Under patient but persistent questioning from Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN), Clinton admitted that she had not signed a waiver for security arrangements on the site, as required by the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (SECCA), 22 USC § 4865 2(B)(ii).

Complete raw footage from the Planned Parenthood videos surfaced Thursday on the conservative website Got News?, whose editor said he had gotten it from a House staffer despite lawmakers’ pledge to keep it confidential.

Editor Charles Johnson released the full footage Thursday even after the National Abortion Federation got a temporary restraining order a day earlier prohibiting any dissemination. Johnson vowed to “contest any unconstitutional prior restraint of speech.”

USA theme night was also considered offensive…

Via Breitbart:

A high school in Arizona has banned pro-Donald Trump clothing at a Friday football game because it would be “racist” or “offensive.”

Corona del Sol High School in Tempe, Arizona – with a student body known as “The Tribe” – is set to face off against Marcos de Niza High School Friday in an anticipated rivalry game. The game was supposed to have a “USA” theme. But that theme was considered problematic and thrown out.

“The Tribe tweeted out that the theme for the game would be “USA,” and students should wear red, white and blue. Administration recognized that this theme had negative connotations,” according to a statement Thursday by the Editorial Board of the Corona student newspaper.

“This is not something that can be denied—past games, even as far back as over eight years ago, have showcased themes and chants that appeared racist or offensive toward Marcos [school]. The theme was changed to “Orange Out” after the administration decided it was best to avoid any possible offensive connotations the theme would have.”

The student publication informed students that “Students dressed inappropriately will not be admitted.”

The German government is willing to use army vehicles to ship refugees back to their homelands, German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday.

The story broke earlier the same day, when German newspaper Bild reported the government was looking into the use of Bundeswehr aircraft as one way in which federal and state governments could deport asylum seekers whose applications had been rejected.

“Obviously, the usage of the Transall (Army transport aircraft) is not ruled out,” von der Leyen confirmed. “But only in the event that all civilian transport capacities are exhausted and if it does not affect the German army’s priority missions.”

Struggling to cope

The news comes as Berlin searches for ways to speed up the deportation process in an effort to ease the burden on local governments struggling to cope with Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II. The country says it’s expecting more than 800,000 refugees this year.

According to the article in Bild, the number of asylum requests in Germany is currently far greater than the number of deportations.

While many of the refugees arriving in Germany are fleeing war in the Middle East, as many as a third are considered economic migrants and are likely to be deported.

Warning: This isn’t an article from The Onion. Obama’s Department of Education is proposing that schools spend a week celebrating illegal aliens, including an “undocumented immigrant awareness day.” Can “Celebrate Destruction of America Day” be far behind?

The document, which was released on Tuesday, also urges schools to provide welcoming environments for illegal alien students by hosting events such as “Undocumented Week.”

The guide also provides tips for schools and educators on how to support illegal alien youth who are in high school and college. It also provides information for non-citizens on how to access federal financial aid[.]

Remember this when our military ends up needy. It wasn’t Congress.

Via Washington Post:

President Obama exercised his veto power Thursday for just the fifth time in his presidency, rejecting a defense authorization bill because of the way it would sidestep budget limitations for the military and because it would restrict the transfer of detainees being held at Guantanamo Bay.

The White House said that the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would tap an overseas contingency operations account designed for emergencies and war costs and use it as a “slush fund” to avoid budget restrictions. Those restrictions — known as sequestration — would impose offsetting across-the-board cuts if spending passed certain levels.

I really wanted him to wipe the smirk off her face. But she clearly believes she is going to skate.

Via Weekly Standard:

Trey Gowdy, the Republican chairman of the House’s select committee investigating the Benghazi attacks, spent several minutes at Thursday’s hearing questioning former secretary of state Hillary Clinton over the unusual advisory relationship she had with an old friend who had business interests iin Libya.

Gowdy’s line of questioning, which built on questions from previous Republican members of the committee, explored Clinton’s email exchanges with Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime Clinton friend who was blocked from taking a job at the State Department by Barack Obama. Blumenthal had been passing along information about Libya to Clinton on her personal email address.

‘Non-specific threat’ opens the door for abuse, exactly the reason you need warrants and adherence to the Constitution.

Via AP:

A new policy allows the Secret Service to use intrusive cellphone-tracking technology without a warrant if there’s believed to be a nonspecific threat to the president or another protected person.

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Seth M. Stodder described to a House subcommittee Wednesday the department’s policy on the use of cell-site simulators.

Civil libertarians and privacy advocates have long expressed concern about the suitcase-size devices, known as Stingrays, which mimic cell-towers to scoop up electronic data that can be used to locate nearby phones and identify their owners. The devices don’t listen in to phone calls or capture text messages, Stodder said.

Via Life News:

After a Houston-based Planned Parenthood abortion clinic was caught selling aborted baby body parts, state investigators conducted a raid today on multiple Planned Parenthood abortion clinics across the state.

Texas officials raided several Planned Parenthood facilities today in an unprecedented move that follows on the heels of pro-life Governor Greg Abbott announcing earlier in the week that the state would further de-fund the abortion business. Abbott said this week “the gruesome harvesting of baby body parts by Planned Parenthood will not be allowed,” but so far the state has released no evidence of illegal activity by the group.

But Democrats who approve all manner of wasteful spending care more about covering up for Hillary than they do for the four people who were killed.

Via FreeBeacon:

The amount of taxpayer funding that has gone toward the investigation into the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, is less than the amount the federal government has invested in “Origami condoms” and studies on why lesbians are obese.

Democrats are very concerned that the Select Committee on Benghazi is wasting taxpayer dollars. Leading Senate Democrats, including Minority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), are demanding that the RNC reimburse the government for the cost of the investigation.

Rep. Linda Sanchez (D., Calif.) said it was a “gross misuse” of millions in taxpayer dollars. Ranking Member of the Benghazi committee Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) began his opening statement during the hearing with Hillary Clinton on Thursday saying, “Republicans are squandering millions of taxpayer dollars on this abusive effort to derail Secretary Clinton’s presidential campaign.”

Via Daily Mail:

The 21-year-old man, who launched a sword attack on a school in Sweden and stabbed two teachers and two pupils, stopped to pose for pictures with students before continuing his horrific spree.

Wearing a mask and holding a sword already covered in blood, the attacker, stands next to two young students at the school, seconds before stabbing a teacher, who died at the scene.

Another teacher was rushed to hospital alongside the injured students, two boys aged 11 and 15. The 11-year-old later died from his wounds.

The MailOnline understands the suspected killer to be Anton Lundin-Petterson, from Trollhättan, north of Gothenburg.

A federal watchdog plans to send the U.S. Secret Service a formal warning Thursday about the security risks of overworking its employees — after discovering two Secret Service officers asleep at their posts, according to three government officials familiar with the findings.

The inspector general who oversees the Secret Service is expected to issue a management alert about the incident this week, as early as this afternoon. That formal designation indicates investigators have found a problem so urgent or sweeping that it requires swift attention from senior management.
