This Forbes article is several years old now, but it is the best thing I have seen about the Benghazi betrayal:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/peterferrara/2012/10/25/benghazi-obamas-actions-amount-to-a-shameful-dereliction-of-duty/
This is as good as any explanation I have seen for Obama and company’s refusal to lift a finger to help their Ambassador and his protectors. From the article:
–Just one hour flight time away were U.S. Air Force bases that could have been rousted in minutes to send fighter planes and attack helicopters that could have routed the attackers in minutes of fighting. As Investors Business Daily editorialized on October 24, “Within an hour’s flight time from Libya, at the large naval air station in Sigonella, Italy, and at bases in nearby Aviano and Souda Bay, were fighters and AC 130 gunships that can be extremely effective in dispersing crowds or responding to a terrorist assault.” But the order for the rescue never came. Maybe because Barack Obama did not want to offend Muslim sensibilities by such a show of force.–

Interesting link about 19th century Arctic ice conditions. Many are under the impression that it was colder there in the 19th century than it is today. Arctic exploration records tell a different story.

Need evidence that Global News is totally in the tank for the socialists?
I went looking for a link to the video of Notley and her pals laughing at Bill 6 tonight to post it to another forum. Guess what? The video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Global News. I guess they don’t believe in fair use.

This clips starts with Donald Trump making his argument for a moratorium on Muslim immigration to the U.S. of A., which is based on both terrorist attacks and the data from high quality surveys about the percentage of Muslims in America who believe jihad violence against Americans in the United States to be justified(25 %) and those who want, either whole or in part to be governed by Sharia Law in America(51%).

Teflon Donald in the news again.
Judge slams Teflon Don during Miss Universe Pageant,
then Steve Harvey announces the wrong winner. ha.
Then best comment: Auto 22..
–
First Rhonda Rousey endorses Bernie Sanders and takes a shot at Trump, she’s beaten to a pulp.
Then Tina Tey & SNL mock Trump as a “Racist” entire show & now Tina herself is whining because she’s being called a racist for some other stupid thing she did.
Then Miss Universe’s judge insults Trump during the pageant and the pageant crashes at the end.
Folks, it is no wonder (Teflon)Donald Trump never reveals his weaknesses when asked in interviews. He is a living breathing Achilles. Saul Alinsky arrows simply bounce off of his chest. You attack him, your life falls apart or you’re out of the presidential race. It is a fascinating tale whether you support him or not and is something we’ve never seen in our lifetime.
Dear Donald Trump, I know you read SDA..
As far as anyone knows, I am the first blogger that ever called you (Teflon Don.)
When you become president, maybe invited me to the Rose Garden for a beer,
We will talk about the presidential medal of freedom after I get you drunk..

““heavy” pollution”.
…-
“Pollution Chokes Chinese Cities as Smog Spurs Indoor Warnings”
“Concentrations of PM2.5 — particles considered the most dangerous to health — rose to as high as 176 micrograms per cubic meter at 11 a.m. in Shanghai, indicating “heavy” pollution, according to the Shanghai monitoring center.
Levels were at 222 near Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, that city’s municipal monitoring center said. The World Health Organization recommends daily exposure of no more than 25 micrograms.”

I’d rather be waterboarded than listen to 20 minutes of that witch.
The video is blocked even on The Rebel site so Global has managed to have it taken down. It looks to me like Global may have excerpted part of the video you linked to, broadcast it on their newscast and is now claiming copyright ownership. So Global believes in fair use for themselves but not for anyone else.
I know we discussed this on SDA sometime in the past but it was ignored by the Richmond council and now the problem of having a chinese enclave with a majority population is getting attention once again.

Small wonder why people have given up on politicians and are looking for a non-politician for a fresh start. $ trillion budgets and pushed through before anyone can go through them.

Mkelley re: Benghazi; Trump will resurrect this disgusting example of incompetence and mendacity I think, if he gets the chance, which seem more likely every day.
Meanwhile in Canada, we get what others voted for, the ninny state where wasting $billions is sound governance:
“Liberals agree to revoke spanking law in response to TRC call.”
A move to open parents and teachers who spank children to the possibility of criminal charges is unlikely to pass through Parliament unopposed.”
But Kathy Lynn, the chair of a British Columbia-based organization called Corinne’s Quest, which opposes legalized spanking, says her group is “thrilled” with the TRC’s recommendation. Ms. Lynn says the repeal of the spanking law is one of the calls to action that the Prime Minister can do quickly and easily. And she does not believe it will meet a wall of resistance.
“I have even been talking to some of the faith groups and they are quite happy with it,” she said in a telephone interview. “There will be a little bit of push back, but not like there used to be. We are really becoming a country that believes we do not want to be violent and, you know, violence in the home starts with hitting kids.” Or is it from not spanking and letting kids rule the roost? Spanking demonstrates decisive children parental authority for those who choose to use it and kids find out there are mildly uncomfortable limits to their willful behaviour.
Certainly more ignorance and bigotry from faith haters is what’s needed to stop parents from being parents. We all voted for that eh? Making some corrupt native leaders unaccountable, thus giving them a free ride to abuse their constituents will make the natives’ situation so much better will it? I think not – look how well it’s worked so far.

Want to see how F’ed up and convoluted the whole nightmare in Syria is?
A long but great read by Seymour Hersh with this nugget…
In July 2013, the Joint Chiefs found a more direct way of demonstrating to Assad how serious they were about helping him. By then the CIA-sponsored secret flow of arms from Libya to the Syrian opposition, via Turkey, had been underway for more than a year (it started sometime after Gaddafi’s death on 20 October 2011). The operation was largely run out of a covert CIA annex in Benghazi, with State Department acquiescence. On 11 September 2012 the US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, was killed during an anti-American demonstration that led to the burning down of the US consulate in Benghazi; reporters for the Washington Post found copies of the ambassador’s schedule in the building’s ruins. It showed that on 10 September Stevens had met with the chief of the CIA’s annex operation. The next day, shortly before he died, he met a representative from Al-Marfa Shipping and Maritime Services, a Tripoli-based company which, the JCS adviser said, was known by the Joint Staff to be handling the weapons shipments.

“The Super-Collapsing El Niño! …NCEP CFSv2 N. Hemisphere Surface Temps Plummet 1°C In A Single Week!””
“After the global temperature anomaly reached a peak in early December, 2015, we witnessed the global mean temperature plummeting massively in just a single week in mid December. The temperature anomalies of the northern hemisphere even fell a full 1°C:”
“So it is certain: 2015 will not be a record warm year!
The cause for all this – and the high warm deviation over November and early December 2015 and the recent plummet – is the powerful but in no way record-setting El Niño event, which likely reached its high point in November/December 2015.”

IMHO Hersch is dodgy as a reporter and these assertions were widely disseminated, though obviously suppressed by the mediocracy. But if there is any fact behind the idea of diplomatic involvement in arms dealing, not only will Trump know about it but he will use it against Clinton, with great prejudice. It won’t matter that he once thought she and Obama were OK. Nor is he afraid of her army of lawyers from the Clinton Foundation, having his own battled hardened hired guns.
He won’t be cowed away by blowhard tantrums as other GOP candidates would. Again in my view, with Carly Fiorina in tow as VP nominate, he will mop the floor with Hillary in debating and campaigning. In any event, as in our recent PM winner Trudeau, a compliant media can be relied upon to order the voter to choose Clinton because that’s “what Americans want.” Begging the question memes are what they like best after all. Trump, like Harper should have, has already ditched the media and the establishment in favour of a grass roots populist appeal to the independent (and possibly new) voter, unfettered by concerns over financial supporters’ sensibilities.
Unfortunately in the now present economics addled states of America, that doesn’t guarantee a POTUS win for the GOP, so Trump’s grassroots style is probably their only chance anyway. I suspect many of the RINOs need to do a re-read of the preamble to their constitution to understand the kind of liberty Trump is talking about to gain an understanding of the frustration of voters with brokerage politics.
In Canada we call it peace, order & good government (2/3 doesn’t work), not the incompetent statist disasters we nee throughout NA and Europe; not that the rest are any better. Americans call it life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (would that be one or two out of three?).
The Dems will have to rely on voters believing they are more affluent, freer and happier than before (and maybe they are to some extent) but again the Dauphin showed us that reality is a tougher sell than pop politics and pre-packaged false narratives. Too bad for the Dems neither Trump nor the public seem interested in their sound bytes a the ready, feigned crises of global warming, Islamophobia and the gun culture.
How ironic that it is now Donald Trump offering hope and change to the American people!!! What delicious blowback.
While they’re in the process of banning spanking because it’s (somewhat) violent, maybe we can remind them that taxation is theft and they can move to ban that too.
