New Benghazi Testimony Confirms White House Had Time to Respond

PJ Media

Members of the House Intelligence Committee learned in a closed-door briefing yesterday that more contractors are corroborating the report that the Obama administration had plenty of time to respond to the attack on the Benghazi diplomatic facility.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) called the new information “outstanding testimony.”

“And essentially what they were able to prove today, they basically backed up the other contractors who were on the ground in the two previous hearings. So this is an ongoing investigation,” Nunes said Tuesday evening. “And I think they gave us a lot of good leads today and I feel very comfortable moving forward with where we are at today.”

Truck carrying radioactive material reportedly stolen in Mexico

Fox News

A truck carrying potentially “extremely dangerous” radioactive material has been stolen in Mexico, the UN atomic watchdog said Wednesday.

The truck was transporting a cobalt-60 teletherapy source intended for medical use to a storage center when it was stolen on Monday in Tepojaco, near Mexico City, the International Atomic Energy Agency said, according to Agence France-Presse.

“At the time the truck was stolen, the source was properly shielded. However, the source could be extremely dangerous to a person if removed from the shielding, or if it was damaged,” the IAEA was quoted as saying.

Mexican authorities were searching for the truck Wednesday morning, according to the report.

Sharia In Michigan: Dearborn Couple Threatened By Islamists For Openly Displaying Israeli and American Flag

 Freedom Outpost

The City of Dearborn, Michigan has been the center of Islamic activity in  America. The Islamic population has grown considerably and has taken over in the  area, and one wonders just how much of sharia has been advanced in the city. In  October, the “satirical” website National  Report posted an article about Dearborn entitled “City  In Michigan First To Fully Implement Sharia Law.” However, the article  doesn’t sound too satirical when looking at the facts. Especially right now,  when a couple is being threatened for merely displaying an Israeli flag and a  United States flag outside their home. That’s enough for those who say sharia  isn’t overtaking Dearborn to think twice. This couple isn’t just receiving idle  threats, but havingNazi  flags placed in their yard. Sound harmless? No threat from followers of  Islam is harmless.

 

Terresa  and Hussein Dakhlallah are terrified. For what reason would they have to be so  afraid? For the past two years they have been displaying both an Israeli and American flag  outside their home in Dearborn, Michigan. This is America, it is their right to  display the flags. More than that, it is a sign of true patriotism. However,  some in Dearborn don’t think so. This kind of display will attract unwanted  attention from the Islamists that rule the streets.

Their property  has been vandalized, and worse, the Nazi  flags have been left in their yard. Who would do this to strangers? Sharia  law abiding Muslims.

President’s Uncle, Living Here Illegally Since 1970, Granted Legal Residency

Weasel Zippers

Despite being here illegally, despite violating deportation orders and being arrested for a DUI. He came as a student and never left.

Via Boston Globe:

A federal immigration judge today allowed President Obama’s uncle, Onyango “Omar” Obama, to remain in the United States, following a hearing in which the name of the president was invoked by the 69-year-old Kenyan who has been living here for some 50 years.

US Immigration Judge Leonard I. Shapiro issued his ruling from the bench. He said he believed Onyango Obama was a gentleman, a good neighbor, paid his taxes, and met the criteria for legal permanent residency, commonly known as a green card.

“Welcome to America,’’ Shapiro said to Onyango.

During the hearing, Onyango Obama testified, “I do have a nephew. He’s the president of the United States.”

He also contradicted the White House’s assertion that the president had never met him. Onyango Obama testified that his nephew lived with him in Cambridge for three weeks while the future president was a student at Harvard Law School in the late 1980s.

Shapiro based his decision on a federal immigration law that allows people who have lived in the United States since prior to 1972 to apply for residency.

Why Are Veterans Being Stripped of Their Second Amendment Rights?

Freedom Outpost

Under Obama’s administration, there’s been a serious downsizing of our  military. I’ve got my own thoughts on that, but I’ll save them for another time.  Reality is, we’ve got a large number of people getting out of the military with  a ton of combat and military experience; men and women being thrown back into  civilian life. There have been several incidents already involving these vets  and their rights being taken away from them.

Recently, there was a vet that had to defend his home from a felon who was  trying to break in. He fired a warning shot in the ground to scare the guy off  and then told the police that his military training kicked in. Now whether  that’s true or not, or even if he went into combat mode, the guy was having his  house broken into. He clearly stated to the guy that was trying to force entry  into his home and that he was going to give him a warning shot if he didn’t stop  his forward progress. All he did was fire a warning shot into the ground, and  then the criminal ran off.

But  the focus wasn’t on the convicted felon trying to break into his house; it was  on the veteran who did everything possible to safely defend his home.

New Terrorist Threat From U.S. Citizens Is Big Worry

Family Security Matters

errorism: Senate Intelligence panel chief Dianne  Feinstein  contradicts President Obama’s claims of terrorist threats  diminishing. The FBI,  meanwhile, warns of Islamist U.S. citizens  attacking the homeland.

CNN’s Candy Crowley, who did so much during the second presidential  debate  last year to help President Obama get re-elected (defending his  false claim  that “I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American  people and the world  that” Benghazi “was an act of terror” the day  after), was shocked on Sunday  when Senate Intelligence Committee  Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.,  didn’t act as fellow Obama  cheerleader.

“I expected to hear, ‘Oh, we’re safer!'” Crowley responded when  Feinstein  gave a negative answer to Crowley’s question whether the  nation is safer than a  year ago, or two years ago.

Feinstein pointed out that “terror is up worldwide; the statistics  indicate  that. The fatalities are way up … there are new bombs, very  big bombs, trucks  being reinforced for those bombs,” plus “more groups  than ever” and “huge  malevolence out there.”

 

That’s far removed from Obama’s boast to Jay Leno in August that “the  odds  of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of  dying in a car  accident”; or his claim the same month that al-Qaida “has  been broken apart and  is very weak and does not have a lot of  operational capacity”; or his  announcement in May that America will no  longer wage what he called “a  boundless ‘Global War on Terror.’ “

What Feinstein warns are “more groups than ever” the president  downplays as  “less capable al-Qaida affiliates” who threaten only  “diplomatic facilities and  businesses abroad,” plus “homegrown  extremists.”
