[NATIONALREVIEW] Following yesterday's House Oversight Committee Hearing with Benghazi whistleblowers, Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D., D.C.) ...Congresswoman-for-life (non-voting) from the District of Columbia. Originally elected in the Lower Paleolithic.
echoed on MSNBC Hillary Clinton's ... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Everett ... infamous "What difference, at this point, does it make?" line, asking, "What's the big deal here?"
She dismissed the idea that there were any new revelations, saying, "I dare anybody who covered that hearing to tell me what new he heard."
Norton, who sits on the oversight committee, explained to Reverend civil rights hustler Al Sharpton ...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor... that she would like to move on from the issue: "What're we doing back here? We had Benghazi I with Susan Rice, now we're having Benghazi II with Hillary Clinton. Enough Benghazi."

And Benghazi II with HIllary says that Benghazi I with Susan Rice and the YouTube show was completely made-up. Of course that's a big deal.
One could consider her a partisan hack but I think she is simply really, really stupid and she should be spoken to as if she were a child for making this sort of statement.

rjs, why they want to blow by this has nothing to do with a lack of intelligence but a surfeit of evil.
The Dems are virtually all on board with being the proprietors of a police state with unlimited and unchecked power.
Make up charges and throw someone in jail for political cosmetics? No problem.
Hang out an ambassador and friends to be murdered? No problem, more lipstick for the pig.
Don't let the putative checks see any info. that might be embarassing? No problem.
#4
Why do we care what the holder of an office that has no Constitutional powers says or "thinks"?
Let her run for a real office with a constituency not made up of ignorant racists and see if she can win.

AlanC, I understand that but I think thta mocking is more powerful/effective than trying to provide a logical arguement on what they are trying to do.
[NPR.ORG] I'm guessing that the strategy calls for building up their strength among Hispanics, the dead, and emigres from Caliphornia, New York, Illinois, and other nifty places where industry is dying or dead and no connection is seen to Dem policies. At some point it is expected that these folk will outnumber the original, primitive, Texans who waste their time drillin' for awl, raising cattle, and farming instead of spending it productively on gay marriage, having abortions, and raising taxes.

Democrats Hope For A Bright Future In The Lone Star State
Yes, it's called Austin. Remember per Article IV -
Section 3.
New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.
Just break off that portion to be their own little Blue Paradise and leave the rest of Texas to its prosperity.
#2
What they will do is pick who is going to run on the Dem side and pour in tons of cash for tee vee commercials. Unfortunately Texans will be at the church bible study, out back bar-b-cuing and debating if Obama is the anti-Christ and what is good horse sense versus real bull sh.t in general.
#3
I think this is a pipe dream hoping to get Republicans to spend time and resources defending their hold.
Someone needs to have a national add comparing the economies in the worst states and the best states and then show who is governor of said states. Should have done that during the last election.
"You might loath the Republicans from crazy things you've heard, but their economic policies work."
#4
Sorry, RJ, but it ain't a pipe dream. I posted the below on a 'Burg thread about two years back:
"I'm currently working my way through a book recommended by Hugh Hewitt: The Blueprint: How the Democrats Won Colorado (and Why Republicans Everywhere Should Care) Some damned sobering reading about how four rich Colorado leftists orchestrated the Dem takeover of the Colorado statehouse, waged "lawfare" against Republican candidates, and basically destroyed the Colorado Republican Party. The techniques worked out by this 'Gang of Four' are being replicated by leftists nationwide, and we underestimate them at our peril."
Colorado used to be solid Republican territory, but the efforts detailed in The Blueprint delivered both houses of the state legislature into Quislingrat hands in the 2012 elections...and of course, the first thing the Quislingrats started working on was writing election fraud into state law via mail-in ballots and same-day registration. These people are dangerous, richly financed, highly disciplined and very, very patient...and they must not be underestimated.

Yes, agreed Ricky,
I observed the 2012 election marveling at the "unserious" endeavors of the Obama campaign- the Clooney/ Sex in the City Celebuvote efforts. The Social media reach out was exactly what drove the GOTV of the "moveable" low info voters. Team Obama is using predictive analytics to data mine every voter in the USA, collecting "likes" and data points along the way, and now have close to 8 years of Big Data to mine...all with expertise supplied by Facebook/ Google/ technology wiz kids locked in the restricted dark room at Chicago Obama Campaign HQ.
Access to this data base is what will keep Hillary loyal to Obama, as well as all the "chosen" future winners of the dem party.
They wiz kids see something moveable in Texas.
[USNEWS] Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a newly elected Republican with a penchant for making headlines, filed an amendment that would bar undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States from ever earning citizenship.
There are an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally, and a bipartisan immigration reform measure would create a pathway to citizenship over the course of 13 years by requiring those people to pay penalties and back taxes, as well as learn English. Conservatives opposed to reform decry the path as amnesty, but Democrats say they will not support reform that does not cope with the immigrants already living in the U.S.
Cruz also filed amendments that he says would "strengthen border security measures; reform the high-skilled temporary worker program; modernize, streamline and expand legal immigration; and prohibit federal, state or local entitlement benefits for those here illegally."

I agree with Cruz. If you enroll in classes at the prestigious Columbia University under false pretense, you do not graduate.

One of the principles of fairness, and occasionally even the America legal system, is that you should not profit by breaking the law. Bank robbers are seldom allowed to keep the money. Successfully sneaking into the country should not be a qualification for citizenship. Although, it might indicate an aptitude for holding public office.
#5
Don't even raise the issue. Some fed prince judge will simply strike it down and issue the fiat that they must be provided citizenship. No target, no ruling.
Cummings is Congressman-for-Life (D) representing the Best of Baltimore.
[Real Clear Politics] CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I'm saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted, I guess all of you said this, he wanted to make sure we learn from this.

Spin, political spin, and more political spin.
Now for the webster definition;
...the end of life; the total and permanent cessation of all the vital functions of an organism.

This is a legit scandal exceeding Watergate is every way.
It shocks me to see the Democrat tools shill for the Obama administration.
Is he untouchable? We'll find out.
#3
so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death.
I watched most of the hearing live. First, he speechified and made it about himself. Then this nonsense came out of his mouth. It is to the witness' credit that none interrupted to ask, "excuse me, but WTF does that mean, anyway?"
#5
Don't ask or expect anyone to save your sorry congressional a$$ if or when the bad guys come for you.
Trust is a two way street. You just knocked yourself out of the loop.
Just a part of life, eh? You know what Steven went through before he was finally killed? Nice little cycle of life, eh?
I want to vomit.

This congressman is a symptom of the slow death of these one-time United States.

Death is a part of life, all right. Murder, not so much.
pjmedia BRYAN PRESTON spends something like 7 hours live blogging with a synopsis of each Rep's questions and witnesses' answers as they happen....
Don't have 7 hours for re-runs? Based on your reading speed and how much you want to comprehend --- take at least 10 minutes and ferret out some important information from this hearing......
Most Obamanauts prolly don't know what a tin-foil hat is for. An e-mail from OFA - Organizing For Action, an Obama re-election group it seems. I forget how I got on their list, but this is really comical!
Break out the tin foil hats, folks.
House Speaker John Boehner and the chairman of the House Science Committee are both unsure whether the science behind climate change -- the stuff that shows pretty clearly that carbon pollution produced by humans is damaging our environment -- is real.
Instead, they're on the record saying things like this:
"The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know, when they do what they do, you've got more carbon dioxide." - John Boehner, April 2009
As long as our members of Congress continue to develop their own theories behind climate change, we will fall further and further behind in our ability to make actual progress on this issue.
Make them do better. Add your name to join OFA's team that will hold climate deniers in Congress accountable: Link snipped. We don't need to contribute to their insanity...
We owe it to our environment and our economy to start having real talk on climate change.
Join us -- and we'll be in touch with next steps soon.

Yep, sign op/ like / send us $ 3 for a chance to breath the same air as Michelle and I.... All for future use as a data point in the OFA predictive analytics machine.
And if you think that you, as a typical Rantburgerr, who has never "liked" a progressive website in your life don't have a voter preference profile in the OFA data mine.... I have a tin foil hat for you!

I believe our combustion of fossil fuels is causing climate change. SOME climate change. I don't have a clue if such change is of net harm or benefit. I am quite sure we cannot actually DO anything to stop it - every organic molecule we choose not to oxidize will be oxidized by someone else soon enough, all to our own economic loss. Accept what we cannot change, and know the difference.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
