CNN Tells Republicans Go Sell Crazy Somewhere Else


CNN boss Jeff Zucker has let it be known that his network won’t be bullied by Fox News into covering Benghazi and that CNN won’t be covering Benghazi unless it becomes legitimate news. During a recent interview, CNN boss Jeff Zucker said, “We’re not going to be shamed into it by others who have political beliefs that want to try to have temper tantrums to shame other news organizations into covering something,” he said. “If it’s of real news value, we’ll cover it.”

This came from the man who runs a network that spend endless weeks obsessing over a missing airplane.
 
What Zucker was saying is that if Benghazi were to become a legitimate news story, CNN would cover it, but right now, Benghazi isn’t newsworthy, so no matter how much Fox News screams at the top of their lungs, CNN won’t be covering the story.

Dems Announce Starting Lineup for Team Pelosi

After threatening to boycott the upcoming Republican led Benghazi hearings, Nancy Pelosi must have realized that she'd be denying herself valuable face time from the media daily to give her spittle version of the days events, and gallantly  announced "Team Pelosi", the Democrat starting lineup for the big show. 


At quarterback is the always entertaining Rep. Elijah '"Hello is this thing on? " Cummings (D. Maryland) known for his expertise at not knowing when to shut up and feigning outrage at Republican committee chairman. Also announced as team member is Rep. Linda Sanchez (D. Cal) the less excitable sister of screeching banshee, Rep. Loretta  Sanchez (D. Cal.).
 
Other members are second-string house committee backbenchers, Tammy Duckworth (D- Illinois) Adam Smith (D-Washington) and Adam Schiff (D-Cal.) total unknowns to me and I'm assuming there as sacrificial collateral damage and keep the more power drunk House members from falling on their face like a wasted prom queen when the SHTF.

I'm sorely disappointed the Insane Troglodyte, Alan Grayson didn't make the cut. Surely he would have made possible dull hearing moments much more embarrassing events for the Dems, and an added baritone voice in the sure to come chorus of "We Have Already Covered This Before" you will hear over and over and .........  

He's So Angry He's Mad as Hell!


Congressional Neanderthal Volunteers for Benghazi Committee

Rep. Alan Grayson (Lunatic-Fla.) is willing to serve disrupt the committee established by House Republicans to investigate the 2012 attacks in Benghazi. In a Radio interview
Grayson said he has actually already talked to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Political Correctness and Dr. Ben Carson

Last night I had dinner with an old friend, a Regional Vice President of a large Book Chain. A life long liberal who admits to being embarrassed these day to say so, she told me something quite interesting that she found upsetting, personally and professionally. 

We have all heard of Ben Carson, one of the most celebrated neurosurgeons in the world. His book 'Gifted Hands' is the story of an innercity kid, with all the breaks seemingly against him, who through faith and hard work  became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital at age 33.

Gifted Hands, has been an inspirations to a generation that chose to listen to what he had to say, and undoubtedly influence many along the way.  It has been a staple of high school reading list for many years, especially predominately black schools. But no more. 

Large classroom institutional orders bought through book stores by school system administrators for his book are dropping dramatically. Once a book that remained in the top 100 of Amazon's book sales (consistently between #50 and 60) now has fallen to #261 and dropping. Why you ask? A black kid from Detroit makes good in the world and his story is no longer relevant? 

Ben Carson has been critical of not just the Health-care reform in it's present form, but also Barack Obama and his lack of leadership and direction he takes America. And to boot, he was never the Affirmative Action Plantation Negro many made him out to be. He is now no longer the hero, just another so-called Uncle Tom tool of the right with a PC bulls-eye on his back. Some speak of him as a possible VP candidate.

What is sad is the obvious prejudice of left-wing educators pointed at the very man, a black man, who's accomplishments are stellar in a world of poverty and hopelessness some who read his book come from.

This is the world of the leftist, and what they have created.

Millions Missing in State Dept. Aid Relief to Haiti

I'm Sure the Race Baiters at MSNBC Will Latch on to This Real Soon

Ulsterman
"A few Alternative Media are attempting to push the story out into Mainstream waters, and rightfully so. The hundreds of millions of dollars apparently bilked off the tragedy that was the Haiti earthquake of four years ago, is worthy of serious attention, and the Clintons are right up to their eyeballs in it…"
This man was head of the IHRC who reported to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
The Wall Street Journal just picked up the story, and had this to say about it:
"The news website Tout Haiti reported last month that two prominent lawyers have petitioned Haiti's Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes, demanding an audit of Bill Clinton's management of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC). There are powerful interests that won't want to see the petition succeed and it may go nowhere. But the sentiment it expresses is spreading fast." 
Four years after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake toppled the capital city of Port-au-Prince and heavily damaged other parts of the country, hundreds of millions of dollars from the State Department's U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), allocated to the IHRC, are gone. Hundreds of millions more to the IHRC from international donors have also been spent. Left behind is a mishmash of low quality, poorly thought-out development experiments and half-finished projects....."
"One former Haitian official puts it this way: "I really cannot understand how you could raise so much money, put a former U.S. president in charge, and get this outcome."
Most people are unaware that Bill Clinton, as head of the IHRC, acquired HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars from the U.S. State Department at a time when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.

Clinton’s ties to Haiti and millions in economic “aid” date back to Bill Clinton’s administration when he helped place Jean Bertrand Aristide back into power of that island nation. Shortly after, Clinton Machine donors began scooping up lucrative business contracts signed off by Aristide. Yeah, let sink in. I know, had me shaking my head too.
