Excerpt: The emails show that while receiving updates about
the assault as it happened, Mills told then-State Department spokeswoman
Victoria Nuland to stop answering reporter questions about the status of

Also littered throughout the State Department emails,
obtained by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, are references to a
so-called Benghazi Group. A diplomatic source told Fox News that was code

Hillary Clinton's
only hope: To tame her worst habits, she’ll need a real primary challenge —
preferably from Elizabeth Warren. By Gail Sheehy
Excerpt: On the day after Hillary Clinton went on “60
Minutes” to hide the lies of her husband — 21 years ago — I rode knee-to-knee
with her in a small plane and listened to her rehearse her war strategy: “Pound
the Republican attack machine and blame the press.” The events of the past week
have confirmed a nagging fear: Those of us who’d hoped the controlling,
deceptive, defensive Clinton
of years past had grown into a more mature kind of leader are wrong. She has
reacted to a series of legitimate press reports raising serious questions about her
use of a private email server to conduct the public’s business while
secretary of state by going into bunker stance and attacking the messengers. We
have seen this face on Hillary too often before, and it is deeply unappealing.

May Be a Key to Addressing 'Pay-to-Play' Whispers at Clinton Foundation. By Ron Fournier
Excerpt: Disclosure: I've known and respected the Clintons since the 1980s,
when I covered state politics for the Arkansas Democrat (now
the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette)
and the Associated Press. .... And yet, a New York developer donated $100,000 to the foundation at about the same time
Hillary Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the
businessman's mall project. An aide close enough to Bill Clinton to be
considered a surrogate son, Doug Band, set up Teneo, a company that New
York Times columnist Maureen Dowd calls "a
scammy blend of corporate consulting, public relations, and merchant
banking." Band recruited clients from the foundation donor list while
encouraging others to donate. "Its marketing materials highlighted Mr.
Band's relationship with Mr. Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative, where
Mr. Band sat on the board of directors through 2011 and remains as an
advisers," according to a 2013 New York Times exposé.

Excerpt: “If you think to that iconic picture of her on a

sunglasses on — she has her hand-held device in her hand — we have no e-mails
from that day,” he said. “In fact we have no e-mails from that trip.”
Representative Gowdy said that “it strains credibility” to believe that Clinton would have sent no e-mails relevant to the
committee’s investigation on a trip “to Libya to discuss Libyan policy.”
White House Reset:
Obama Knew Of Hillary’s Private Email. By Neil Munro
Excerpt: President Barack Obama actually did know that
Hillary Clinton used a non-government email address when she was secretary of
state, but didn’t know the extend of her private email system, White House
spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday. “I would not describe the numbers of emails
as large. … He was not aware of the details of how that email address and that
server had been set up,” Earnest said. That’s a shift from Saturday, March 7,
when Obama
told CBS that he learned about Clinton ’s private email
system in the news.

Calling 911 To Report His Wife Stole His Cocaine
Hopefully not true: Hillary Clinton leaked intel to
hurt Israeli war plans, says watchdog attorney
Excerpt: On Tuesday, a former Department of Justice
prosecuting attorney said that he believes then-Secretary of State Clinton -- probably
using her unofficial and illegal email system -- was complicit in the leaking
of classified intelligence regarding military operation plans formulated by
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) to
destroy Iran's nuclear weapons program. In a Washington Post front page news story
on March 2, 2015,reporter Anne Gearan intimated that the likely reason
for the release of Israel's plans to a New York Times reporter was intended to
hurt the Israeli's war plans, since President Barack Obama and his staff --
including his top advisor Valerie Jarrett, herself born in Iran -- believed
Israel was willing and had the technical and strategic expertise to launch a
preemptive sneak attack on Iran in order to eliminate their nuclear threat. (If
this is true, it would be just if Hillary, Obama and Jarrett were in the first
city nuked by a terrorist A-bomb supplied by Iran . We are going to lose one.

The Disagreement is over what is "necessary."
Politicians and Bureaucrats always say "More!" ~Bob
Excerpt: Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), who heads the
Judiciary Committee, had previously questioned Clinton ’s use of a program that allowed some
political allies to work for the government while pursuing private-sector
careers. Grassley had sought e-mails and other documents from the State
Department. But he didn’t know, until last week, that Clinton
was exclusively using a private e-mail account that could contain relevant
information about Clinton ’s
use of the so-called “special government employee” program. Huma Abedin, a Clinton confidante and
adviser who was granted the special designation, also used the private e-mail
system.

Jean-Claude Juncker
calls for EU army
Excerpt: The European Union needs its
own army to help address the problem that it is not “taken entirely seriously”
as an international force, the president of the European commission has said. Jean-Claude Juncker said
such a move would help the EU to persuade Russia
that it was serious about defending its values in the face of the threat posed
by Moscow . However,
his proposal was immediately rejected by the British government, which said
that there was “no prospect” of the UK agreeing to the creation of an
EU army. (Most Europeans would not fight for their own country, never mind die

Obama: ‘Important’
Second Amendment Responsible for High Homicide Rates
Excerpt: Obama seems to not understand that places with the
toughest gun laws have the worst crime rates. Moreover, Obama hinted that the
individual right to bear arms–the very right protected by the Second Amendment–is
the result of a Supreme Court interpretation. On June 22, Breitbart News
reported that The Washington Post espoused this same liberal talking point,
claiming that the Supreme Court created an individual right to keep and bear
arms via the District of Columbia
v. Heller (2008) decision. (Whose Constitution was he teaching. --JB).
6-Year-Old Suspended
for Pointing Finger at Classmate and Saying, “Bang, You’re Dead”
EXCERPT: I know, this is such odd behavior for a 6-year-old,
warranting that he be suspended for a day. According to school officials, this
boy “threatened his peers.” He pointed his index finger at a student and said,
“Bang, you’re dead.” I believe the victim is in stable condition but may need
psychological counseling.
Excerpt: Charles Dorsey considers his elderly neighbor to be
“family,” and so when he saw a pair of men breaking into her home, he grabbed
his gun and went to her aid as his sister called 911. He encountered the two
burglars and held them at gunpoint. One of the men acted aggressively. That was a mistake.

armed robber at Starbucks on Congress
Excerpt: Two marines caught a man this morning who witnesses

investigators cataloged evidence scattered on the sidewalk; cash, blood and a
gun. Witnesses say inside a Starbucks, shortly after 9:00 am, a man held up the
employees with what turned out to be an air pistol. As the gunman tried to
escape he was chased down by two customers. It all played out in front of

Race Card News
‘The march is not yet
over,’ Obama tells crowd at foot of Selma
bridge
It never will be over as long as political power and wealth
can be accrued by promoting resentment and hatred, or benefits gathered by
assuming the victim mantel. ~Bob
Excerpt: Five years before, on March 4, 2007, Obama made a
speech saluting the 1965 civil rights march in Selma ,
Alabama , and claimed his parents were inspired
by Selma before
he was born. “There was something stirring across the country because of what
happened in Selma , Alabama , because some folks are willing to
march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So
don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma ,
Alabama . Don’t tell me I’m not
coming home when I come to Selma ,
Alabama .” This was a pretty
bizarre claim for a man who was born in Hawaii
and whose parents never had a real marriage, and were literally on different
continents by the time of the Selma
march of 1965. Selma didn’t bring his parents
together; they were officially divorced in 1964, and Obama’s father left
Harvard in 1964 and returned to Kenya
with another white American woman, named Ruth Baker, and they married there in
1964. His mother married Lolo Soetoro in 1965. The real story in no way
resembled Obama’s mythical narrative that Selma
inspired two people to fall in love and conceive a future president.
NY Times Crops Bush
Out Of Selma Picture, Highlights Ferguson
Excerpt: On the 50th anniversary of the march across the Edmund Pettus
Bridge in Selma , Alabama ,
The New York Times chose a front page picture of President Barack Obama, his
family, and civil rights leaders who were there at the time. Missing from the
photo, though only a few people down to the right, were former President George
W. Bush and his wife Laura. The Times also focused quite a bit of their story
on the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson ,
Missouri , even though the local
and federal investigations into that event found race had zero role in it and
they refused to bring charges. (NYT Motto: All the news that fits the

Protests held after
black man is fatally shot by police officer in Wisconsin
Excerpt: An unarmed 19-year-old black man was fatally shot
Friday night by a white police officer in Madison, Wis., touching off protests
and chants of “Black lives matter” that continued into Saturday. The police
chief on Saturday called the incident a “perverse perfect storm” of details
that for some appeared to fit the national narrative of officer-involved deaths
of black men. (As usual, both sides are establishing their narratives without
having the facts, though they hardly matter to the media. Everyone may have an
opinion, but only those present have an informed opinion--and every one of them
has reason to spin if not lie. ~Bob)
Excerpt: The unarmed Wisconsin teenager who was shot to
death last night during a confrontation with a Madison cop pleaded guilty last year to armed
robbery and recently began serving a three-year probation term for that felony
conviction, court records show. (Coming home from Rehab Monday, I passed a
protest march going towards the capital on East Washington Street . I was headed the
other way. Big banner, about 2150-200 people, at least half white, followed by
a line of frustrated drivers. I assume mostly UW students. I was a Vietnam vet in
college while the war was still on. I overhead one conversation that went:
"You going to the protest march Saturday?" "Where and what
time?" "Ten a.m. downtown." "Yea, I'll go. what's it
about?" If it's a protest, some students are in. A few years ago, a lot of
students signed a petition to ban "di-hydrogen oxide, which kills many
people every year and is now in our food and drinking water." (That's
H2O). I bet I could get up a march at UW to ban carbon-based life forms. ~Bob)

number. ...Eric Holder’s ignores the fact that nine black-run cities in the St.
Louis area with overwhelmingly black populations are currently

percent of their budget, an obvious violation of state law....If you are
beginning to detect an element of racism in this targeting of Ferguson by Eric

Obamacare/Government Healthcare News
Excerpt: The insolvent Iowa-based
health insurance cooperative, CoOportunity Health, had to be taken over in
December by Iowa insurance regulators. Iowa
and Nebraska ’s
Guarantee Associations — and state and federal taxpayers — are now on the hook
for millions in claims the insurer could not pay. CoOportunity Health wasn’t a
traditional health insurer. Rather, it was a taxpayer-funded, non-profit health insurance
cooperative (co-op) established under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The co-op program is plagued by numerous flaws. When co-ops were established,
they had no customers and no historical actuarial data to assist in setting plan
premiums. Startup funds and cash reserves were mostly borrowed from taxpayers.
According to industry data only
one of the 23 co-ops was profitable last year (a
24th co-op located in Vermont
failed before it even got off the ground).
Kill Obamacare, or U.S. healthcare will suffer same fate as Britain . By Dan
Hannan
Excerpt: A colleague of mine, a Conservative MEP, was
cremated last month. Except he wasn't: the hospital had released the wrong body
to the undertakers. A second funeral has just been held with his actual remains
— though, of course, nothing can be done for the family of whoever was cremated
in error. We take such incompetence for granted; it doesn't make the news. Even
when something happens that is atrocious enough to generate headlines — the
latest scandal being what an official report calls a "systemic
cover-up" of baby deaths in a hospital in North West England — no one
calls for the system to be overhauled. The truth is that, after 60 years of a
state monopoly in healthcare, most of my countrymen are unable to imagine any
alternative. It's a vivid demonstration of what Milton Friedman called
"the tyranny of the status quo".

Rocket attack
on UN base in Kidal kills 3, injures 12. By Caleb Weiss
Excerpt: Unidentified militants fired more than 30 rockets into
the UN’s base in Mali ’s
northwestern city of Kidal
today. The attack has left three people dead, including one
Chadian peacekeeper and two Malian children, and more than 12 injured. According to the BBC,
several rockets hit an adjacent camp for Tuareg and Arab nomads, killing the
two children and injuring many others. A UN spokesman said that the attack
was of a “very complex nature, in the sense that they used mortars and shells
from different locations; from the north and south of the base,” according
to Al Jazeera. No group has yet to take responsibility for this attack, but
al Qaeda-affiliated groups have conducted similar rocket barrages on UN forces
in the past.

List of Terrorist
Attacks
Excerpt: This list of
terrorist attacks committed by Muslims since 9/11/01 (a rate of about five a
day) is incomplete because not all such attacks are picked up by international
news sources, even those resulting in multiple loss of life. These are not
incidents of ordinary crime involving nominal Muslims killing for money or
vendetta. We only include incidents of deadly violence that are reasonably
determined to have been committed out of religious
duty - as interpreted by the perpetrator. Islam needs to be a motive,
but it need not be the only factor.

jury earlier this month. One of the files is a letter written by Atiyah Abd al
Rahman (“Mahmud”), who was then the general manager of al Qaeda, to Osama bin

Islamic State appears
to be fraying from within. By Liz Sly http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/the-islamic-state-is-fraying-from-within/2015/03/08/0003a2e0-c276-11e4-a188-8e4971d37a8d_story.html?hpid=z1
Excerpt: The Islamic State appears to be starting to fray
from within, as dissent, defections and setbacks on the battlefield sap the
group’s strength and erode its aura of invincibility among those living under
its despotic rule. Reports of rising tensions between foreign and local
fighters, aggressive and increasingly unsuccessful attempts to recruit local citizens
for the front lines, and a growing incidence of guerrilla attacks against
Islamic State targets suggest the militants are struggling to sustain their
carefully cultivated image as a fearsome fighting force drawing Muslims
together under the umbrella of a utopian Islamic state. (I sure hope all of
this is factual, and that it continues to just get worse. The graphic showing
the estimates of people who have come from around the world to fight for ISIS is extremely interesting. That is a lot of people! Many
of them from comparatively poor countries, so I wonder how they manage to get
the airfare to get there at all. But possibly the income that ISIS
got from robbing banks and selling oil has let them finance travel for people.
One thing about claims to have the backing of Allah in your endeavors is that
you need to get successful and stay successful for other Muslims to decide you
are right and they should join you. Once ISIS
really starts to take major hits and lose territory, the flow of people to come
to them will rapidly choke off. The battle for Tikrit now ongoing is an
important one. If the Iraqis do manage to drive the fanatics out of the city
completely, it will be a double victory, both getting the city back and
smashing the idea of ISIS invincibility. Let's
hope they pull it off. --Del )
