This is a Facebook post from Glen Doherty’s friend, Brandon Webb, who had to help pay to put him in the ground because our government hasn’t paid his death benefit or insurance payment to his family/estate.
While we have certainly have talked about how the State Department failed the men in Benghazi, and talked about Hillary Clinton’s role, Webb also puts another name on the failure to protect them that isn’t mentioned enough.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has rejected the terms of a GOP-created select committee on Benghazi, but Republicans are moving ahead without them.
A top aide to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told the Washington Examiner that the Benghazi Select Committee met today for the first time and plans to move ahead with its investigation, despite the missing Democrats.
“We made a fair offer,” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said. “We hope they appoint Democrats. At this point, it’s time to get to work.”
Pelosi, D-Calif., rejected the panel’s terms in letter to Boehner that was in response to GOP proposal about the select panel would operate.

Apparently 90% of the Nigerian girls who were abducted were Christian, which does not seem to have been addressed in the media. From the Nigerian Tribune:
“…However the fact that 90 per cent of them are Christian adds a sinister and frightening dimension to the whole horrific episode and it is glaring evidence of the fact that Christian girls are now being targetted by the Islamists and that those girls are being ’sold in the market’, being forced to convert to Islam and being turned into sex slaves…The bitter truth is that regardless of wherever you come from, whatever your faith is and whichever side of the political divide you stand, we all have a duty to get to the bottom of this matter, join forces, close ranks, find out what is really going on and bring this nightmare to an end. We must join hands with all men and women of goodwill and, together, we must fight this insidious evil that seeks to envelop our land and overwhelm our people.”
Maybe this is for CI, but Harvard is aggrandizing the next phase of American evolution: Harvard Will Host ‘Reenactment’ of Satanic Mass. This makes me ill, but it signals what will become of us Catholics over the next decades:
Concerning the “child-friendly” Satan statue, Greaves told CNSNews.com, “Our monument will stand in honor of those unjustly accused, the slandered minority, the maligned out-groups, so that we might pay respect to their memory and celebrate our progress as a pluralistic nation founded on secular law.”
The father of all lies, and a murderer, is now openly worshipped at Harvard U.

White House adviser John Podesta told reporters Monday afternoon that Congress could not derail the Obama administration’s efforts to unilaterally enact policies to fight global warming.
Podesta said that the president was committed to using executive orders to pass regulations under the Clean Air Act to limit carbon dioxide emissions that they say cause global warming.
The Times of India reports that Pakistani intelligence services were planning a terrorist attack against the Israeli mission in Bengaluru (also known as Bangalore) and the American consulate in Chennai (both are cities in Southern India). The reported plot was thwarted when Indian security officials interrogated a Sri Lankan national who allegedly was hired by a Pakistani agent to conduct reconnaissance of the two diplomatic missions. http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2014/05/report-foiled-pakistani-terror-plot-targeted-israeli-and-u-s-consulates.php
Rhodes … wrote Pres. Barack Obama’s 2009 Cairo speech A New Beginning.[9] Rhodes was the adviser who counseled Pres. Barack Obama to withdraw support from Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, becoming a key adviser during the 2011 Arab Spring.[10] In March, 2013, Rhodes declined to comment on his role in Obama administration policy decisions, saying, “My main job, which has always been my job, is to be the person who represents the president’s view on these issues.”[10]
Here’s an amusing quote from an early (2010) WaPo article on him:
“I always wanted to be a fiction writer,” Rhodes said.
Another Rhodes quote:: “We have used speeches … to respond to awkward situations and to push the agenda.”

For many years, the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled groups with values it doesn’t tolerate as “hate groups,” but now the organization is taking its attacks a step further, demanding Amazon and PayPal blacklist bloggers and websites that don’t fall in line with its leftist agenda.
Headlined “Financing Hate” in the group’s Intelligence Report publication, the Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC, listed 91 “hate groups” ranging from those clearly on the fringe to mainstream bloggers and websites such as Catholic Family News, Atlas Shrugs, Jihad Watch, WND and the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC. http://www.wnd.com/2014/04/amazon-now-urged-to-blacklist-haters/

The headline rate tumbled as 806,000 people left the civilian labor force, a development one market strategist called “shocking.” The labor force participation rate slumped to 62.8 percent, its worst of the year and near 35-year lows.
BUT, because of the perverse manner the Feds use for determining the “unemployment rate”, it dropped to 6.3%.
This is a VERY disturbing trend among LEOs, but ESPECIALLY from Border Patrolman well inside the interior where they have no business…or certainly no business like this.
