Two teenage victims of an acid attack in Zanzibar are being treated in a specialist burns unit in London as police were ordered to arrest a radical Islamic preacher suspected of inspiring the assault.

 

Acid Attack Victim Fakhra Yunus Commits Suicide

 

... "Acid attacks are prevalent in certain parts of Asia. According to the New York Times' Nicholas D. Kristof, who reported in 2008 that attacks were then at an all-time high in Pakistan, they are often the work of husbands who attack their wives as a form of revenge for refusing sexual advances or other proposals." ... 

MSNBC drops all pretense of being a news network; shows it is an arm of the Democrat Party

Another Round of Big Eddie’s Big Questions; Ed Schultz's poll questions are nuttier than ever.

'Behold his very serious audience’s responses to such questions as:

• Do you trust Republicans to help the unemployed in the new year? 97 percent do not.
• Do Republicans care about the well-being of any unemployed American? 95 percent say they are completely heartless.
• Do Republicans want to make poor people poorer? Absolutely they do, say 95 percent. Get more poor, you serfs.
• Is the almighty dollar Republicans’ true religion? 94 percent assert that money is indeed the GOP’s Lord and Savior.
• Will Republicans ever vote to advance women’s rights? 97 percent consider this a pipe dream.
• Do Republicans care more about obstruction or Americans? Guess what 98 percent picked.

What does all this say about MSNBC viewers?

Ann Coulter: Lockett & Load

Ann Coulter  "The next time liberals get indignant when we say they care more about criminals than the victims of crime, remember their hysterical weeping over Clayton Lockett....  (Tulsa World has the detailed account  and also News9)

From the Dallas Morning News

 "It’s not clear whether it took 43 minutes more for her to die, and we can’t ask her now if she suffered."

...

"This week we will review some facts about the case that The New York Times edited out of its capacious articles on Lockett. This is the information that was not fit to print. Next week, we'll discuss the death penalty, with particular reference to Clayton Lockett."
...
..."Stephanie walked in, and she, too, was beaten until she relinquished the keys to her truck. All three victims were locked in the bedroom with Bornt's infant child, while Lockett and Co. ransacked the home, pausing only to pull Hair out and gang-rape her. One of Lockett's crew orally sodomized her, then vaginally raped her. Lockett raped her vaginally, anally and orally"....
...
"These facts are not contested by Lockett, who, as he wrote in a letter from prison, "told that fool" -- the district attorney -- "I did shoot that bitch."
 ...
"This is the murderer whose recent execution has thrown liberals into deep despair."

Stephanie's parents' statement included these words:

"God blessed us with our precious daughter, Stephanie for 19 years. Stephanie loved children. She worked in Vacation Bible School and always helped with our church nativity scenes. She was the joy of our life. We are thankful this day has finally arrived and justice will finally be served."

UK Daily Mail has much more information on this. Lockett's video statement here.

Jonah Goldberg; In Defense of Capital Punishment   ... "As for humaneness, Lockett’s execution was botched — “inhumane” — in part because Oklahoma had to use a new drug regimen because death-penalty opponents had successfully lobbied the maker of a component of an earlier formula to stop making that drug available for executions."

 

Researchers call White House Climate report 'pseudoscience'

American Thinker  ... "This is the game the White House has been playing - they ignore current data and conclusions in favor of their overarching narrative of imminent disaster. It's dishonest and good on Cato for calling them out on it.

Alan Caruba: More Obama Climate Lies

 

“ 'Throughout his entire presidency,” said Kish, “Obama has promoted policies that have discouraged the use of our vast energy resources, including blocking the Keystone XL pipeline, slowing energy development on government lands and water, and forcing new restrictions on all forms of energy that Americans have used to become the number one economy in the world. Under this administration, even cows are not spared as emission sources that must be controlled in Washington.' ”

 

 

Harry Reid: Koch Addict

Chip Bok

 

"Dana Milbank says, “The time has come to stop the denial and to admit that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has a Koch problem.” The Koch (pronounced “coke”) brothers donate millions to conservative and libertarian political causes. To Harry Reid that makes them “immoral and unAmerican. He thinks they have Republicans hooked. Here’s a link to a YouTube montage posted by Washington Free Beacon in which Reid mentions the Kochs 134 times.

"I think I’m developing a Harry Reid habit."

Forbes: As The Obama Era Ages, Scapegoating Mounts    "The Obama era is now recapitulating the FDR years in terms of the broken promises, the manufactured distractions, and the scapegoating. In the absence of definitive recovery from economic crisis come baseless, grandstanding charges against “malefactors of great wealth,” as FDR put it. The tribulation which the Philadelphia businessmen are going through reflects the spasm of envy and self-justification that puffed-up regimes of Democratic governance experience when they fail."

Obama’s Telling Silence  ..."Huge majorities of Palestinians refuse to accept “Israel as the homeland for the Jewish people,” ... “recognize Israel, but not as a Jewish State, in exchange for maximum territorial concessions” – very deliberately preserves the ideological basis for future war against the Jewish State. That’s why recognition of Israel’s Jewish character has been a central Israeli demand since at least the Olmert government.

...

"The French long ago came around to Israel’s position on recognition, with Foreign Minister Alain Juppe establishing it in a speech and then circulating the text for emphasis. President Obama, in his AIPAC speech today, pointedly did not."

...

"Just to be clear: the president certainly recognizes Israel as a Jewish State. He just doesn’t seem to think the Palestinians should have to. That’s a recipe for continued distrust between America and the Jewish State – the Israelis will find themselves unable to rely on American backing on even the most basic issues – which in turn will ensure that the peace process remains moribund."

 

What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Apartheid?   "In Kerry’s defense, a number of commentators have pointed to Israeli leaders who have argued the same point, ...Indeed, many genuine friends of Israel—of which Kerry is undoubtedly one—have warned of the apartheid scenario, doing so often in service of specifically deflecting claims that Israel is already an apartheid state. Let the peace process fester, these pro-Israel voices warn, and that calumny could one day become true. But is this admonition accurate?

The Benghazi hearings

Hat tip to Lucianne for all the research below.

Benghazi panel will have 7 Republicans and 5 Democrats  But Harry Reid will not be starting a Senate investigation.  No sir, ain't gonna do it.

What Obama Did on September 11, 2012   ... "On September 11, 2012, war was the last thing Obama wanted or needed as well. He had already bagged Osama bin Laden, pacified al Qaeda, and liberated Libya -- or so he repeated endlessly. Foreign policy was alleged to be his electoral strong suit. Given the political dynamics, Obama retreated, just as the Clintons had, to the family quarters. There he would spend the night translating national security data into electoral strategy. For the next two months he did what the Clintons did after the demise of TWA Flight 800: he just kicked the investigatory can down the road and hoped that the media would not call attention to the kicking. If the Clintons could get away with it, why not he?"   Jack Cashill

Poll: 72% want the truth about Benghazi   "Just over half the nation wants further investigation into the September 2012 terrorist killings of American diplomats in Benghazi, Libya, in part because an even larger percentage of the country does not believe that President Obama´s team has told the full story about the simmering scandal. Rasmussen Reports revealed in a new poll that 51 percent want the investigation to go forward. The House last week ordered up a special panel to investigate the killings of the U.S. ambassador and several others and how the administration handled the crisis."

Obama Admin Withholding 7 Page Email About Fox News’ Benghazi Report Citing Executive Branch Deliberations…   "Fox news learning new details of a seven page email — circulated at the highest levels of the white house – apparently to come up with a media strategy to deal with a Fox News report- is being withheld by the state department, citing executive branch deliberations."

Meme watch  "The release of administration e-mails concerning the Benghazi scandal has reignited the debate over White House spin and deceit over the attacks and the blame game that followed. Here’s a look at some recent graphics making the rounds on social media."

Police investigate threats against Trey Gowdy

Politico 

"The U.S. Capitol Police are investigating threatening emails against Rep. Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina Republican recently tapped to lead a special panel probing the Benghazi terrorist attacks.

"The investigation comes after POLITICO reporters and journalists at other outlets received two emails on Tuesday warning that Gowdy would be harmed because of his role in investigating the 2012 attacks.  More...

Comedians Have Failed the American People in the Age of Obama

American Glob linked to the following post with this introduction:
"Saturday Night Live acts like Romney won in 2012, liberals continue to falsely attribute a Tina Fey quote to Sarah Palin, Funny or Die has become an arm of the Obama administration and the most liberal late night host in America is taking over for David Letterman. It wasn’t always this way.
"In fact, it has only been this way since Obama became president."

Court jester journalists   "Comedy gave us a respite from politization.  If you were powerful, you were eventually a target.  Rich, famous, scandalous, popular, unpopular – no matter.  Our comedians and comedy shows would always speak truth to power and serve as the great societal equalizer.
No longer.  Something deeply disturbing is happening in comedy. Not just here or there, but broadly. Comedians and those in comedy writing are choosing political sides. By force or by choice – they’re drawing political battle lines instead of writing punch lines."

How important is Steven Colbert to the left? I’ll put it to you this way. Bill Clinton follows exactly ten people/organizations in the world on Twitter. One of them is Steven Colbert.

"Comedian Patton Oswald tweeted his support of a column penned by conservative author and radio host Mark Steyn. Oswald’s liberal friends and fans have been blasting him on Twitter for daring to show support for anything Steyn has to say.

"Steyn’s column title, ironically?" “The Slow Death of Free Speech.”

And never forget this guy from 2008: Russell Brand, MTV VMA Host, Begs America To Elect Obama, Rips Bush In Monologue   ..."Again and again, Brand _ a confessed former sex addict _ poked fun at young sex and abstinence. Speaking of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter's boyfriend and would-be father, Levi Johnston, Brand sympathized with him: "That is the safe sex message of all time. Use a condom or become a Republican!"

Sharyl Attkisson: Emails Reveal White House Hid Truths About Benghazi Attack but not about where Mr. Obama was that night

John Boehner will create a House Select Committee to investigate the White House cover-up of the al-Qaeda attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. At the time the president knew nothing about the cover-up. He was too busy not knowing about the IRS targeting conservatives.   Argus Hamilton

Reason TV    " 'If we knew everything then that we know now, one week after it happened, I think that would have been really devastating to [Obama's reelection] campaign," says former CBS reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, referencing the 2012 Benghazi terrorists attacks. Recently revealed White House emails suggest that the Obama administration may have attempted to mislead the American public by placing the blame on an Internet video and not Islamic terrorists, which would have raised questions about Obama's foreign policy strategy."
 

...

" 'As one whistleblower put it to me: things have never been worse for people who try to speak the truth inside the government about illegalities and wrong doing. In their view, and I tend to agree, every administration is more clamped down and closed than the one before it. And the next one starts at the finishing point. It's very hard to make it go backwards. There are rules being implemented now against journalists and the type of work that we do that I think will be very hard to unwind.' " 

 

Visitor Logs: Did Obama Have “Debate Prep” Meeting on September 11, 2012, the Day of the Benghazi Attack?

"Here is an interesting tidbit from the White House Visitor Logs for 9/11/12: Obama met with three people, at an unknown time, for “debate prep.” (BUT SEE the “MAJOR UPDATE” below: while it’s clear that Obama’s debate prep people visited, it’s not clear from official records whether they met with Obama.)

The GOP just tapped the Democrats' worst nightmare to lead Benghazi investigation

INDEPENDENT JOURNAL REVIEW  "House Speaker John Boehner has officially chosen Rep. Trey Gowdy to lead the congressional hearings on the terror attacks that left four Americans dead in Benghazi, Libya.... (more)

Boehner taps Rep. Trey Gowdy to lead Benghazi select committee
" 'Trey Gowdy is as dogged, focused, and serious-minded as they come.  His background as a federal prosecutor and his zeal for the truth make him the ideal person to lead this panel," Boehner said in a statement on Monday afternoon.
" 'I know he shares my commitment to get to the bottom of this tragedy and will not tolerate any stonewalling from the Obama administration.  I plan to ensure he and his committee have the strongest authority possible to root out all the facts.  This is a big job, but Rep. Gowdy has the confidence of this conference, and I know his professionalism and grit will earn him the respect of the American people.' ”
