Huma’s Moonlighting? No Problem … Just Don’t Mention Her Crescent-lighting

PJ Media

Well, well, well, the Huma Abedin controversy has finally hit the legacy media. Okay, okay — it’s not the Huma Abedin controversy, but it’s one Obama’s court stenographers apparently feel comfortable talking about.

It seems Ms. Abedin, accurately described by the New York Times as Hillary Rodham Clinton’s  ”longtime aide and confidante,” spent her last months at the State Department not really at the State Department. Despite maintaining her title as Secretary of State Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, she was permitted, upon returning to government service from maternity leave in mid-2012, to remain at home in New York with her newborn child and her husband, the disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner — he of the notorious Weiner all aTwitter photos. While the State Department was paying her $135,000 as a “special government employee,” Abedin was also permitted to moonlight as a “strategic consultant” for Teneo, a firm founded by Doug Band, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton. (Teneo, the Times informs us, advises such firms as MF Global, the brokerage firm whose investors were broken by Jon Corzine — the former New Jersey governor and Obama campaign bundler.) In addition, Abedin found time in her busy “special government employee”  schedule to do consultant work for the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation.

Rand Paul: My colleagues just voted to arm the allies of al Qaeda

Free Republic

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday, which voted overwhelmingly to arm elements of the Syrian opposition in a bill co-sponsored by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN). “This is an important moment,” Paul said, addressing his Senate colleagues. “You will be funding, today, the allies of al Qaeda. It’s an irony you cannot overcome.”

The legislation, which would authorize the shipment of arms and military training to rebels “that have gone through a thorough vetting process,” passed in a bipartisan 15-3 vote. Paul offered an amendment that would strike the bill’s weapons provision, but it was rejected along with another Paul amendment ruling out the authorization of the use of military force in Syria. (Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy was the only senator to join Paul in support of the weapons amendment.)

It’s an Obama World… Fort Hood Islamist Killer Nidal Hasan Paid $278,000 Since Slaughter

Gateway Pundit 

Nidal Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder.

Islamist killer Nidal Hasan has been paid $278,000 since he murdered 13 Americans in a terrorist attack in 2009. NBC DFW reported:

The Department of Defense confirms to NBC 5 Investigates that accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan has now been paid more than $278,000 since the Nov. 5, 2009 shooting that left 13 dead 32 injured. The Army said under the Military Code of Justice, Hasan’s salary cannot be suspended unless he is proven guilty.

If Hasan had been a civilian defense department employee, NBC 5 Investigates has learned, the Army could have suspended his pay after just seven days.

Personnel rules for most civilian government workers allow for “indefinite suspensions” in cases “when the agency has reasonable cause to believe that the employee has committed a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment may be imposed.”

Meanwhile, more than three years later soldiers wounded in the mass shooting are fighting to receive the same pay and medical benefits given to those wounded in combat.

I was just wondering…………….

Socialism is not the Answer

By 1 Dragon

I was wondering……. just how long it will take our Dictator in Chief to fly out to Oklahoma to push some more of his BS on America. After all, wasn’t it Rahm Emmanuel who said, never let a crisis go to waste. Besides, it would give him another excuse to hop on Air Force One and spend some more ou the tax payers money, but hey that’s just my opinion.

The Obama Incompetence Excuse – I’m Not Buying It!

Freedom Outpost

How many times over the last decades are we going to hear from Washington  leadership, especially in the Executive Branch, that they “didn’t know” or it  was some underlings fault?  I wonder how long the American people are going  to get scammed with those excuses before finally waking up.  There is a  basic and simple reason for these pleas of incompetence from perpetrators of  criminal behavior.  You don’t go to jail for incompetence or lack of  knowledge.  You do go to jail for intent and deliberate  illegal acts.  Possibly you could go to jail for negligence, but not nearly  for the same degree of punishment as if clear intent was proven.  You don’t  go to jail if you can show that the act was committed by some rogue employee and  you knew nothing about it.  Uh huh, and my Aunt Sadie was the Queen of  Sheba.

Let’s look at incompetence, just for the sake of argument.  We are all  so tolerant these days of fallibility.   So and so “didn’t mean to do  it.”  So and so was just a weak person and fell into a circumstance so and  so could not handle.  Poor so and so.  O.K. that might work for a  youngster who needs guidance.  But we are talking about the supposed cream  of the crop at the upper echelons of leading our nation.  How much slack  are you willing to give these people after they have landed in the most powerful  positions in the nation?  A lot of these folks are graduates of the  nation’s top law schools.  If you want to pretend they are incompetent, you  surely are kidding yourself.  Some incompetence could be applied, but not  at the highest levels and that alone is reason to remove them from their  positions.  Do you really think all of this amounts to incompetence at this  point?   And when incompetence meets malfeasance, how much of this is this  nation going to tolerate?

Obama Built This Forgery

American Thinker

I  don’t normally display lawn signs or bumper stickers during political campaigns;  I usually keep my voting preferences to myself.  (That’s the point of  secret ballots, right?)  But the November 2012 elections got me charged up  to the point where I felt the urge to do something public, and since my friends  already knew how I felt, I didn’t think I would be divulging any secrets by  doing so.

 

But  I didn’t like the bumper stickers offered by the campaigns, or any of the clever  ones being sold over the internet, because I was really against certain  candidates rather than for the opposition.  So I designed and  ordered my own, shown below in Figure OB:
