Trey Gowdy Smacks Elijah Cummings Around Over Leaks/Stonewalling on Benghazi Committee with Epic 13-Page Letter
This is pure political gold - you just have to read Trey Gowdy's letter to Elijah Cummings. He deftly smacked him alongside the head over the Benghazi Committee and his leaks and stonewalling techniques that have done nothing but throw sand in the gears of the proceedings. It was epic and masterful. Gowdy simply eviscerated Cummings. I think he obliterated the two brain cells the man had left. The Democrats have done nothing but throw baseless allegations around concerning the Benghazi Committee. They have not called one new witness in months. No document requests have been made either. Cummings and his fellow Marxists finagled their way onto the committee to drag it down and kill it procedurally. It was all arranged and pre-planned. The only ones mischaracterizing testimony here are the Democrats. It's what they do.
From Townhall:
HILLARY WAS "HUMAN" AND "LIKABLE" LAST WEEK BUT SHE'S "TOUGH" AND "CANDID" THIS WEEK
For the last two weeks, Hillary has been presenting herself as “human” and “likable”, as promised by her campaign staff . This week, she’s “tough” and having “candid” meetings with the Soros-funded BlackLivesMatter extremists.Friday, October 09, 2015
‘VOTE FOR PAUL RYAN IS VOTE FOR AMNESTY': Luis Gutierrez Endorses Ryan For Speaker
Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) is endorsing Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for Speaker of the House of Representatives. Gutierrez, perhaps the most extreme open-borders advocate in Congress, was interviewed on MSNBC.
As CNN is now reporting, “Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez on MSNBC called Ryan one of the smartest men in the GOP. ‘He would be good for the country,’ Gutierrez said. ‘He would be good for the Republican Party. Paul Ryan is the kind of individual that would work with people on the other side of the aisle and that’s what we need.'”Gutierrez has worked tirelessly to expand immigration levels and open America’s borders up to the rest of the world. As Gutierrez once declared, “I have only one loyalty…and that’s to the immigrant community.”
Gutierrez and Paul Ryan have been longtime partners on efforts to open Americans borders. Indeed, Paul Ryan is arguably the most pro-amnesty GOP lawmaker in Congress, and even supports expanding immigration levels beyond many Democrats.
Many amnesty opponents believe that if Ryan had been House Speaker, rather than Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), the Gang of Eight bill would have been sent to President Obama’s desk.
As NumbersUSA’s Director of Government Relations told Breitbart News: “A vote for Paul Ryan is a vote for Gang of Eight style amnesty that includes massive increases in legal immigration and replacing American workers with foreign-born workers. A vote for Paul Ryan is a vote to continue Obama’s transformation of America.”
DOH: Marco Rubio Praises Obamatrade
While Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has declared war on Obamatrade, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) says he’s “very positive” about the President’s success in finalizing the deal.
“Rubio voted in favor of fast-track and has struck a favorable tone toward the overall deal,” writes The Hill.
Obamatrade collectively refers to Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which is the controversial fast-track mechanism for ramming trade treaties through Congress with minimum scrutiny, and the three major trade deals that would be guaranteed these “fast-track” protections before a page of them had been made public: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) and Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA).
Trade negotiators announced on Monday that they had reached an agreement on TPP.
In June of this year, Marco Rubio voted with GOP Leaders to pass fast track authority (TPA) and give Obama the power to ink globalist trade pacts before a single word of TPP, TiSA, or T-TIP were publicly available. Fast track authority lowers the 67 votes required to pass a treaty to a mere simply majority, it surrenders the 60 vote filibuster, and it forfeits individual senators’ ability to add amendments or changes to the trade deals negotiated by the president. It also allows the President to sign the agreement before Congress even votes.
BUMMER: Top Iranian General in Syria Dies of Natural Causes and Artillery Shells, But Mostly Artillery Shells
A top Iranian general responsible for shoring up the support of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was killed in a battle with anti-Assad forces outside the Syrian city of Aleppo, The Wall Street Journal reported (Google link) today.
Brig. Gen. Hossein Hamedani died at the hands of “Daesh terrorists” on Thursday while conducting advisory duties, Iranian state media said, quoting a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC.Although the statement used the Arab acronym for the extremist group Islamic State to describe those responsible for Gen. Hamedani’s death, the circumstances of his demise weren’t disclosed. The Iranian government, like the Syrian regime, tends to use “Daesh” and “terrorists” as catchall terms for all opponents of President Bashar al-Assad.
Gen. Hamedani, a longtime commander in the elite military unit of the IRGC, is believed to have directly overseen the organization of pro-Assad forces into groups such as the Popular Committees, which were later folded into the so-called National Defense Force.
Those groups were drawn largely drawn from Syria’s Alawite population and number between 150,000 and 190,000 men.
The European Union sanctioned Hamedani in 2011 for human rights violations, due to his role in suppressing the pro-democracy Green Movement protests after the stolen presidential election in 2009.
In January of this year, another IRGC general was killed in an airstrike against a joint Iranian-Hezbollah convoy on the Syrian Golan Heights. Israel is believed to have carried out the airstrike.

Clinton Emailed Identity Of Top CIA Asset Over Unsecure Server
Last night, Yahoo News broke another big development in Hillary Clinton’s growing email scandal. According the below report, Hillary Clinton used her secret email server to “pass along the identity of one of the CIA’s top Libyan intelligence sources,” material the government considers “some of the most protected information in our intelligence community.”
This latest shoe to drop underscores the recklessness of Hillary Clinton’s decision to skirt transparency laws with her secret email server.
NOTE: Hillary Clinton used her private email account to pass along the identity of one of the CIA’s top Libyan intelligence sources, raising new questions about her handling of classified information...
...On March 18, 2011, Sidney Blumenthal — Clinton’s longtime friend and political adviser — sent the then secretary of state an email to her private account that contained apparently highly sensitive information he had received from Tyler Drumheller, a former top CIA official with whom Blumenthal at the time had a business relationship. “Tyler spoke to a colleague currently at CIA, who told him the agency had been dependent for intelligence from [redacted due to sources and methods],” the email states, according to Gowdy’s letter. The redacted information was “the name of a human source,” Gowdy wrote to his Democratic counterpart, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, and was therefore “some of the most protected information in our intelligence community.”
And what did our genius Democrat frontrunner for President -- Bill's wife -- do with this highly sensitive information that, if disclosed, could get people killed?
In which I obliterate the Wall Street Journal's pathetic attempt to see Paul Ryan become Speaker of the House
Decrying a "toxic crack-up inside the Republican conference", the Journal says the real issues in Washington are the fault of the "Refuseniks" (the party's conservative base and its representatives, albeit a better epithet than "hobbits"). According to the WSJ rocket scientists, conservatives blame the GOPe "for all the country’s problems, not President Obama."
That kind of sheer unvarnished idiocy is not unexpected from the GOP, which now seeks to install Boehner Lite -- Paul Ryan -- as Speaker.
Let's put aside the reason McCarthy is rumored to have withdrawn ("perhaps McCarthy shouldn't have been schtupping Renee Ellmers on the side, the worst-kept secret in Washington").
No, the real problem -- as Leon H. Wolf reminds us -- is the GOP establishment itself:

HEY, LIBS: Here’s How to Create a Gun-Free America in 5 Easy Steps
Want to create a gun-free America in 5 easy steps?
Here's all there is to it:Step 1: Elect. For a gun-free America, the first thing you'll need is two-thirds of Congress. So elect a minimum of 67 Senators and 290 Representatives who are on your side.
Step 2: Propose. Then, have them vote to propose an amendment to the Constitution which repeals Second Amendment gun rights for all Americans.
Step 3: Ratify. Then convince the legislators of 38 states to ratify that change.
At this point, the Second Amendment is history, but you've done nothing to decrease gun violence. All you've done is remove the barrier for Congress to act.
Step 4: Legislate. Now you need to enact "common sense" reform...
Why Does It Feel Like a Depression for Most of Us?
“And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed.” – John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
Everyone has seen the pictures of the unemployed waiting in soup lines during the Great Depression. When you try to tell a propaganda believing, willfully ignorant, mainstream media watching, math challenged consumer we are in the midst of a Greater Depression, they act as if you’ve lost your mind. They will immediately bluster about the 5.1% unemployment rate, record corporate profits, and stock market near all-time highs. The cognitive dissonance of these people is only exceeded by their inability to understand basic mathematical concepts.The reason you don’t see huge lines of people waiting in soup lines during this Greater Depression is because the government has figured out how to disguise suffering through modern technology. During the height of the Great Depression in 1933, there were 12.8 million Americans unemployed. These were the men pictured in the soup lines. Today, there are 46 million Americans in an electronic soup kitchen line, as their food is distributed through EBT cards (with that angel of mercy JP Morgan reaping billions in profits by processing the transactions):
DEMOCRATS: The Pro-Crime Party. And Chicago is Proof.
They're always talking about gun control in Chicago. And it never seems to work.
With at least 60 murders citywide, last month was the deadliest September in Chicago since 2002, reports the Chicago Tribune.According to CBS Chicago, the explosion of homicides last month pushed the murder rate for the year to date to 21 percent above last year. Compared to 2014, shooting incidents were up 19 percent, and the number of shooting victims was up 14 percent. Overall crime - including robberies, burglaries, and thefts - was down 7 percent.

FBI SEIZES HILLARY STATE DEPT. SERVERS: Who cops a plea deal first, Huma or Cheryl Mills?
The FBI is so certain that this occurred that it has seized four (count 'em: four) State Department servers in order to forensically determine who perpetrated these crimes.
The FBI has seized four State Department computer servers as part of its probe into how classified information was compromised on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email system ... They are being checked by technical forensic analysts charged with determining how Top Secret material was sent to Clinton’s private email by State Department aides during her tenure as secretary from 2009 to 2013...
...The FBI is trying to determine the origin of the highly classified information that was found in Clinton emails ... the department also has been unwilling to say whether the private email system, used by Clinton and close aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, should be considered an official State Department network covered by FOIA laws.
JAYVEE TEAM: Nuke Smugglers Trying to Sell Dirty Bomb Material to ISIS to "Bomb the Americans"
If this is the Jayvee team, I don't think we want to see the varsity.
Over the pulsating beat at an exclusive nightclub, the arms smuggler made his pitch to a client: 2.5 million euros for enough radioactive cesium to contaminate several city blocks.
It was earlier this year, and the two men were plotting their deal at an unlikely spot: the terrace of Cocos Prive, a dance club and sushi bar in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova.
"You can make a dirty bomb, which would be perfect for the Islamic State," the smuggler said. "If you have a connection with them, the business will go smoothly."
MR. CRUZ GOES TO WASHINGTON: The Man the Establishment Loves to Hate Rips Democrat Plantation Politics
In his very first inaugural address, President Thomas Jefferson defined ‘good government’ as one that ‘shall restrain men from injuring one another’ and ‘shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement.’
This pro-liberty standard—embraced by our Founding Fathers and the Constitution—has served us well. Today, the United States stands as the most powerful and prosperous nation in history – a beacon of hope to people throughout the world
But there is a growing sense among many that our nation is in decline.
We have now seen years of sluggish economic growth, stagnant household income – the largest percentage of Americans not working since 1977 -- far too many who’ve simply given up any hope of having a job, of starting a business, of having a future.
Entrepreneurship—truly one of America’s defining traits—is hurting, badly. It is a tough time to own a small business in America today.

TREE RING BOY HARDEST HIT: Climate Fraud Implodes as Slight Order-of-Magnitude-Sized Math Error Discovered
Now about those so-called "scientists" that want those who do not believe the "climate narrative" prosecuted -- can we go after them under 42 USC 1983 and 18 USC 242 for attempting to deprive persons of their rights under color of law?
A MATHEMATICAL discovery by Perth-based electrical engineer Dr David Evans may change everything about the climate debate, on the eve of the UN climate change conference in Paris next month.
A former climate modeller for the Government’s Australian Greenhouse Office, with six degrees in applied mathematics, Dr Evans has unpacked the architecture of the basic climate model which underpins all climate science.He has found that, while the underlying physics of the model is correct, it had been applied incorrectly.
He has fixed two errors and the new corrected model finds the climate’s sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO2) is much lower than was thought.
It turns out the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has over-estimated future global warming by as much as 10 times, he says.
Do you know why science requires (1) the publication of your raw data, (2) the publication of all the manipulations, constants, formulas and other transformations you do to your data, (3) the publication of your methods (that is, your means of collection of data, how you decided what data to collect, etc) and your analytical process?
FORMER HOUSE INTELLIGENCE CHAIR: Of Course Islamic Law is Incompatible With the Constitution
NBC's "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd in a recent exchange with a presidential candidate raised an issue that should be discussed not only by all of the candidates, but debated and analyzed by the American people.
Is Islamic law (Shariah) compatible with the U.S. Constitution?
The question has no simple answer, but we have three recent examples of where regime change forced national leaders to determine Shariah's role in their governance, all failing to reach a definitive conclusion.
The first two followed interventions by the Obama administration, in one case actively and in the other passively, that facilitated the overthrow of stable authorities.
In Libya, NATO precipitated the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi's 42-year dictatorship. In Egypt, the U.S. sent clear and unambiguous indications that replacing President Hosni Mubarak with the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood would be acceptable, if not desirable.
In both cases new governments rose to power through American support.
I illustrate how events unfolded following Gaddafi's deposition in my upcoming book, "Architects of Disaster: the Destruction of Libya."
OH, MY: Hillary Email’s Company Worried About a "Cover Up", Had Extra Backups Made
Big developments today in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. According to emails uncovered by congressional investigators, the IT firm contracted to maintain Hillary Clinton’s secret email server became concerned about being roped into a “cover up” when they were asked to reduce email data after the State Department requested Clinton’s correspondence. Additionally, her deleted emails may still be recoverable as a SECOND company was involved in backing up the server.
Hillary Clinton hired a Connecticut company to back up her emails, and due to a technical glitch some may still reside on one of the firm’s “cloud” storage sites ... The disclosures, in a letter Monday from Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, heighten the possibility that some of Clinton’s more than 31,000 personal emails may still be recovered. She said last March that she deleted them all upon turning over her official emails to the State Department in December 2014.
...His letter to the chief executive of Datto Inc. of Norwalk, Conn., offers the first public confirmation that Clinton or her aides arranged for a backup of her email server after leaving office ... The letter also recounts a series of events that led an employee of Colorado-based Platte River Networks to air suspicions in an email as to whether “this whole thing really is covering up some shaddy sh**,” according to an excerpt of an email cited by Johnson, who is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Boehner Readies Final Surrender As Debt Ceiling Debacle Looms
It’s campaign season, and that means non-stop media coverage of candidate polls, quips, gaffes, tweets, emails, controversies, lies, and scandals. It all makes for a good soap opera. Unfortunately, it’s almost all irrelevant in the big picture.
The media prefer to focus on the sideshow rather than the 800-pound gorilla in the room: the looming debt crisis. Nothing that comes out of a pundit’s mouth or a Hillary Clinton email will close the $210 trillion long-term fiscal gap the U.S. now faces.
More immediately, Congress faces a likely debt ceiling debacle in the next few weeks.

BLUE STATE UTOPIA: Illinois enters fourth month without a budget; standoff could mean lights out at Capitol
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White warned the governor this week that the ongoing budget standoff would cause major problems at government facilities statewide, "including the possibility that the electricity could be shut off at the Capitol".
Please consider: "Illinois' budget standoff could mean lights out at Capitol" (the article itself disappeared from the IUSB website, so the link goes to the cached version):
TED KENNEDY’S PLOT TO DESTROY AMERICA TURNS 50
Fifty years ago today, Ted Kennedy began changing the face of the United States by ushering the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act through Congress. That legislation resulted in the fundamental transformation of the demographic, economic, social, and political landscape of nation, exactly the opposite of what its supporters promised.
The Kennedy immigration law abolished the national origins quota system, which had favored immigrants from nations with a similar heritage to our own, and opened up American immigration visas to the entire world.
While about nine in ten of the immigrants who came to the United States during the 19th and 20th century hailed from Europe, the 1965 law inverted that figure. Today about 9 out of every 10 new immigrants brought into the country on green cards come from Latin America, Africa, Asia or the Middle East.
The size of the numbers also grew exponentially as well. According to Pew Research Center, 59 million immigrants entered the United States following the Act’s passage. Including their children, that added 72 million new residents to the U.S. population.
In 1965, according to Pew, the country was 84 percent white, 11 percent black, 4 percent Hispanic and less than 1 percent Asian.
