Resigned? Fired? – They’re STILL on the Payroll

Posted on by

In a corrupt government, one can expect slime at every turn.

The Benghazi 4 have now been given the finger once again by the State Department 4.

Those reported to have resigned or been fired have NOT and now, according to the New York Post, will be KEEPING their State Department jobs.

Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell, who “resigned” in the wake of a State Department internal investigative report has, in fact, ONLY resigned an “appointed” position and is STILL on the State Department payroll.

Boswell is simply moving to a different desk.

The other 3, including Charlene Lamb, were NOT fired…THEY are on “administrative leave” and ARE expected to be back at work in the State Department shortly although, probably at different posts.

Seriously…

WHAT THE HELL?????

We have a Secretary of State who “suffers a concussion” but never goes to a hospital, never has a CT scan and is well enough to work from home but far, FAR to “concussed” to appear at a congressional hearing and now, 4 who we were told, were FINISHED at the Department of State who, in fact, are FAR FROM finished there.

If that’s not enough…We have the soon to be nominated John Kerry to fill the Secretary of State position.

John Kerry…

ENOUGH ALREADY – Arrest Hillary and Obama

Posted on by

The report that Hillary Clinton has been waiting for, before she agreed to testify regarding Benghazi has arrived and it’s little wonder why she now has a headache.

“…a pervasive realization among personnel who served in Benghazi that the Special Mission was not a high priority for Washington when it came to security-related requests, especially those relating to staffing.”

“Systemic failures…”

“Leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus.”

The security posture at the Benghazi consulate was “short-term, transitory” and “relatively inexperienced” — and ultimately “inadequate.”

The review board “found little evidence” that the guards provided by the militia “offered any meaningful defense”

The attacks “were unanticipated in their scale and intensity.”

U.S. officials were unable to find Ambassador Stevens “for several hours.”

So far, there is now one single thing, in the non-classified portions of the report, which states anything…ANYTHING different than what we, at The National Patriot, have reported.

Not one single thing.

In the 3 months since the terrorist attack in Benghazi which took the lives of 4 Americans, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has steadfastly refused to testify until this “internal report” had been concluded.

Odd isn’t it…That within a week of the report being made public, Clinton had a…stomach virus and…suffered a “concussion” which will prevent her from testifying at tomorrow’s hearing?

Just plain good damned timing is what I’d call it.

Oh…She’s well enough to “work from home” but far, far too incapacitated to show up and answer questions.

What’s next…Memory loss???

Friday Fume

Posted on by

I have our CHRISTMAS lights up…we got our CHRISTMAS tree up and decorated with CHRISTMAS ornaments and we sent our CHRISTMAS cards out to our troops.

LIBERALS on the other hand…Have been VERY busy trying to OUT STUPID each other!!!

What else is new?

I know all my Patriot friends have been plenty busy getting ready for CHRISTMAS too so…I’ve been paying attention FOR them and…here are the results.

It’s Friday Patriots and…

I’m fuming.

A DEAL WAS STRUCK YESTERDAY IN THE SENATE!!!

No…NOT on something as trivial as the LOOMING DEBT CRISIS or the FISCAL CLIFF…

THAT would have been silly.

THIS DEAL…engineered by that short bus dipstick Harry Reid…

WILL ALLOW SNACKS IN THE CONGRESSIONAL AUDITORIUM FOR A SPECIAL SCREENING OF…”LINCOLN!!!”

Saints be praised.

The senate’s head GOOBER struck a deal to get RAISINETS!!!!

Apparently there’s nothing pressing happening in DC so the inmates can watch a movie in the asylum.

“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” isn’t available on Netflix this week???

THESE MORONS NEED TO GO TO THE THEATER LIKE LINCOLN NEEDED A HOLE IN THE HEAD!!!

Still too soon?

Weekend Edition: Obama Plan a Bridge to Socialism

Posted on by

As the “fiscal” cliff looms, there is another, perhaps more disastrous cliff of which congressional conservatives should be vary.

In Obama’s “plan” presented last week by tax cheat Timmy Geithner, are some just crazy ideas.

Obama, who ran on raising taxes by $800 billion dollars is NOW demanding $1.6 TRILLION in tax hikes.

If soaking the so-called rich, those who make $250,000.00 or more, many of them small business owners, was going to cause higher unemployment and a stalled economy, what then will soaking them for twice that amount do?

Faced with that sort of government theft, small business owners will NOT expand, will NOT invest, will NOT hire and WILL lay off employees to offset their losses.

In many, MANY cases, small businesses will ALSO raise their prices to consumers thus causing their customers to cut back on THEIR spending.

Combine the two and unemployment rises while the GDP falls.

Basically, the Obama “plan” calls for massive tax hikes and then leaves the spending cuts…dangling.

Obama says, give me the tax hikes NOW and we’ll talk about spending cuts…later…maybe.

Also included in his “plan” is another $50 billion dollar STIMULUS.

Why? Are there more green energy companies that have yet to go bankrupt?

Obama is acting like he has a mandate from 99% of the people to hike taxes in the 1% but, that simply is NOT true. He was “reelected” by a smaller margin than in his 2008 original election and, nearly half the people voted to send him packing.

In fact, the whole “tax the rich” and blow off the spending cuts “plan” only has the support of 11% of the people according to recent polls.

Gallop places the number of people who want “major cuts” to government SPENDING at 92% although, in Obama’s plan, we’ll discuss spending cuts sometime down the road…maybe.

NOT included in Obama’s goofy “plan” are any measures to stabilize Medicare or Social Security.

NONE.

NADA.

Zip, zilch zero.

Oddly, according to Gallop polls, 88% of the people WANT Obama to do something to save Medicare and Social Security.

It seems to me that 88% IS a mandate…92% IS a mandate but…11% is NOT.

So, let’s recap…

Nobody Died From the Use of White Out

Posted on by

Good grief.

Now Congress is going to hold hearings, being people in and question them regarding talking points.

Congress?

WRONGRESS!!!

Rather than try and find out who changed the talking points that went from Petraeus to who-knows-who and back to Petraeus where, apparently he didn’t recognize his own memo…

How about we try to learn what actually LED to the need for those talking points to begin with before we delve into “Who put the bomp In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp???”

Instead of going full on to discover who used white out and removed “Terrorists” to be replaced with “”grumpy film critics” why aren’t we going balls to the walls to find out the following???

Why were all the requests for added security in Benghazi denied and who exactly denied those requests?

Why was security DOWNSIZED in Benghazi and who made THAT call???

Why, after 234 terrorist attacks in Libya over 16 months, 48 in Benghazi, 2 on our Consulate, 2 attempts on the life of the British Ambassador and both the British and the Red Cross pulling OUT of Benghazi was it deemed unnecessary, despite the repeated pleas for more security even by Ambassador Stevens himself, to ramp up security as the anniversary of 9-11 approached???

Who exactly was watching in real time, on 9-11-12, in the State Dept. and in the White House and possible in the Pentagon as the attacks took place???

WHO ISSUED THE ORDERS TO STAND DOWN???

Reality vs Made For Reality TV Administration

Posted on by

With this Imperial administration’s tight ties to Hollywood, It’s no wonder that the happenings in Washington now seem more like a reality show schedule.

What’s missing from the line-up is NEWS but, most socialists regard the  Daily Show as their primary source of hard hitting investigative news.

With this in mind, let’s break out the TV Guide and see what’s on for YOUR viewing pleasure!!!

This week…On CSI Benghazi…

The senate is holding a “hearing” today regarding who knew what and when did they know it regarding the terrorist attack in Benghazi which ended in  the deaths of 4 Americans.

Hillary Clinton who KNOW who knew what and when they knew it…

WASN’T there but not for lack of an…”Invitation.”

Hillary couldn’t be bothered because she already had pressing plans.

Drinking wine down under.

The Head of the CIA who knows full well who gave the “Stand Down orders won’t be there either because…HE was having an affair and resigned.

What a miracle of timing THAT is huh?

General Ham and Rear Admiral Gaouette  who ALSO know from whom the “Stand Down” orders emanated won’t be there.

They have been relieved of duty because THEY didn’t want to FOLLOW those orders.

Tough break.

The Secretary of Defense. Yes…Leon Panetta. HE’LL be there…right?

Nope.

He’s going to be in Australia too because, apparently, Hillary needs a designated driver or something.

Obama, one suspects, is hiding under his desk as he will not be available either.

So basically, nobody of consequence will be answering questions from senators.

Business as usual…Move along…Nothing to see here.

Weekend Edition: Petraeus – A 4 Star Scapegoat

Posted on by

General David Petraeus, head of the CIA, resigned last week.

His resignation was sudden and it was…

Convenient.

Just days AFTER the election and just days BEFORE he was scheduled to testify before congress regarding the terrorist attack in Benghazi…General David Petraeus resigns.

Why?

Because of an extramarital affair? An affair uncovered by the FBI due to emails sent between Petraeus and his biographer with whom he was involved?

Those emails were sent, back and forth from Petraeus to Paula Broadwell, the “other” woman on his personal Gmail account. NOT his official CIA email which would lead one to believe that anyone attempting to hack his email would have ended up seeing ONLY personal messages and NOTHING to do with the closely held secrets the head of the CIA would be privy to.

Naturally, an affair opens someone such as Petraeus to blackmail but, that’s ONLY if someone such as Petraeus wants to keep the affair a deep dark secret and is willing to do ANYTHING to maintain that secrecy.

Petraeus, obviously, was NOT about to do that. In fact, by revealing the affair and “walking” away from his distinguished career, he proves he’s not willing to protect his private life over the security of the nation or the people he directs.

It seems that the FBI investigation uncovered this affair MONTHS ago. And if there was some concern over his ability to keep state secrets this all would have come to an end…MONTHS ago.

Also, by law, if the FBI comes to the knowledge of something that rises to the level of a threat to national security, they must inform the white house and the Senate Intelligence Committee immediately.

They did NOT.

Supposedly, James Clapper, the National Intelligence Director didn’t know anything about this until election day. Obama supposedly didn’t know about it until election day and…Diane Feinstein, head of the Senate Intell Committee didn’t find out until it hit the press last week!!!

So…Why NOW?

National Suicide or a Call to Arms?

Posted on by

So…..

Who would have guessed that Americans would enjoy free birth control pills, punishing success, food stamps, welfare, reduced freedoms, a weak national defense, appeasement of Islamists, high unemployment, a staggering and growing national debt, borrowing money from China, jacking up taxes, government control of your healthcare decisions  and killing their unborn children to this degree?

Who would have guessed that the American people would just keep digging from the bottom of a mine shaft to nowhere?

What’s the matter America?

Gas prices not high enough yet?

Your share of the national debt hasn’t hit 4 times your annual salary?

The dollar hasn’t been devalued far enough yet to suit you?

Not enough Constitution hating legislators on the Supreme Court yet?

What is it for Christ’s sake???

What’s it gonna take to wake up more than just die-hard engaged conservatives???

The Arab Spring Parade down Main Street of YOUR town?

I mean…Detroit is a rat hole and Dearbornistan is being run by the Muslim Brotherhood and yet, Michigan still votes for socialists.

On the East Coast…New York and New Jersey…people are homeless and those who still have a home don’t have electricity, don’t have heat, can’t buy gas, garbage and debris is everywhere and non union workers are chased out of town but, THEY still vote for MORE government.

The SAME “more government” who isn’t doing a damned thing to help them.

Hey…Jersey…Staten Island…Not thirsty enough yet???

Maybe we just don’t have enough Americans getting killed by terrorists on the other side of the world because the very people who should be protecting them AREN’T and they’re telling those who COULD have to “STAND DOWN!!”

Conservatives have had quite enough thank you very much but…

State Dept. RUNS For Cover Up Cover

Posted on by

After the State Department said:

“The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions,” it said. “We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.” – From the Embassy in Cairo

“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the internet. America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear – there is no justification for this, none. Violence like this is no way to honor religion or faith. And as long as there are those who would take innocent life in the name of God, the world will never know a true and lasting peace.” – Hillary Clinton

“To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose to denigrate a great religion and provoke rage. But as we said yesterday, there is no justification — none at all — for responding to this video with violence.” – Hillary Clinton

“In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated. We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo.” – Susan Rice

And…

“I would simply say that … the comments that Ambassador Rice made accurately reflect our government’s initial assessment.” – Victoria Nuland

They came out in the dark of night on Tuesday and said:

Weekend Edition: Cover Up? What Cover Up???

Posted on by

“Based on information provided to the committee by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya, the attack that claimed the ambassador’s life was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in Libya in the months leading up to September 11, 2012. In addition, multiple U.S. federal government officials have confirmed to the committee that, prior to the September 11 attack, the U.S. mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security in Benghazi. The mission in Libya, however, was denied these resources by officials in Washington.” 

That is just PART of the language used last week by oversight committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, as they demand answers regarding the terrorist attack in Libya…NOW MORE THAN 3 WEEKS AGO!!!

Let me tell you something…

The Chain of Command Here is EXTREMELY SHORT!!!

The Consulate in Benghazi had ALREADY BEEN THE TARGET OF 4 ATTACKS IN THE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DEADLY ATTACK AND ONE OF THOSE PRIOR ATTACKS…WAS AN IED AT THE GATE OF THE CONSULATE WHICH BLEW A HOLE BIG ENOUGH FOR…40…PEOPLE TO WALK THROUGH!!!!!

Requests for increased security would have gone to the State Department.

Hillary Clinton IS the Secretary of State.

Her boss is Barack Hussein Obama.

THAT’S IT!!!

THAT IS THE ENTIRE CHAIN OF COMMAND!!!

Now…for any liberals reading this…
