BENGHAZI: New Email – Spec Forces Spinning Up Were Turned Back: Rescue Interrupted!

Maggie's Notebook

According to the video below [ Sharyl Attkisson at Full Measure], the following Benghazi-related email has become available for the first time in 3three years. A Special Forces Team in the air, on the way to Benghazi was turned back after failing to be granted the Commander in Chief’s [Barack Obama] approval  to cross into Libya.

Why the Left Loathes Western Civilization

"I am referring to the Left, not to liberals. The latter generally venerated Western civilization. President Franklin Roosevelt, for example, frequently spoke of defending “Christian civilization.” Today, the Left would revile any Westerner who used such language as xenophobic, racist, and Fascist."

Dennis Prager at NRO  This month Stanford University students voted on a campus resolution that would have had their college require a course on Western civilization — as it did until the 1980s. Stanford students rejected the proposal 1,992 to 347. A columnist in the Stanford Daily explained why: Teaching Western civilization means “upholding white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism, and all other oppressive systems that flow from Western civilizations.” The vote and the column encapsulated the Left’s view of Western civilization: In Europe, Latin America, and America, the Left loathes Western civilization." . . .

"If the Left actually cared about human rights, women’s rights, gay rights, or freedom of speech, religion, and the press, it would be wildly pro-Israel. But Israel, in the Left’s view, is white, European, and colonialist; in other words, Western. And the Palestinians are non-Western."

 "Bible-based religions affirm a morally judging God. For the Left, that is anathema. For the Left, the only judging allowed is Leftist judging of others. No one judges the Left. Neither man nor God."

Dennis Prager is a nationally syndicated radio talk-show host and columnist. His latest book, The Ten Commandments: Still the Best Moral Code, was published by Regnery. He is the founder of Prager University and may be contacted at dennisprager.com.

FBI Rewrites Federal Law to Let Hillary Off the Hook

comicallyincorrect.

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY  "There is no way of getting around this: According to Director James Comey (disclosure: a former colleague and longtime friend of mine), Hillary Clinton checked every box required for a felony violation of Section 793(f) of the federal penal code (Title 18): With lawful access to highly classified information she acted with gross negligence in removing and causing it to be removed it from its proper place of custody, and she transmitted it and caused it to be transmitted to others not authorized to have it, in patent violation of her trust. Director Comey even conceded that former Secretary Clinton was “extremely careless” and strongly suggested that her recklessness very likely led to communications (her own and those she corresponded with) being intercepted by foreign intelligence services.

"Yet, Director Comey recommended against prosecution of the law violations he clearly found on the ground that there was no intent to harm the United States." . . .

The FBI releases the free-range Hillary back into the wild

Comey speaks: Hillary skates! [further updated]  . . . "This is shocking!  Comey’s job is not to decide what a reasonable prosecutor would do.  That is the prosecutor’s job.  He is openly providing protective cover for Loretta Lynch, sparing her from the backlash that would come her way if the FBI recommended prosecution and he demurred.

"The outrage mounts." Thomas Lifson.

Numerous corroborative sources included in this article.

Funny that there is little said in the news about this: Wikileaks releases 1,200 Clinton emails from Iraq war  . . . "Will emails showing Clinton to be a liar damage her campaign?  Even her supporters don't think she's trustworthy, so it's not likely that any revelation from the emails will kill her chances.  But the emails will, if nothing else, serve as more proof of Clinton corruption."  Rick Moran

"Complete whitewash."

. . . Somewhere, David Petreaus and dozens of others prosecuted in the past are crying.

"Legal Insurrection readers called it:

The most breathtaking and frightening fix in American history.  . . . "Doubly frightening because of what it augurs for all our futures if Hillary Clinton should prevail in the November elections. At the center of this corruption – but hardly alone - are the criminal Clintons – the Bonnie and Clyde of American politics - and their Democratic Party allies; but we should not fail to mention also the Republican enablers who would rather fight each other and appease their adversaries than win the political wars. "   Doug Ross Journal

Trump Just BLASTED The FBI & Hillary In This DAMNING Video
"The rigged system may have helped Hillary Clinton escape criminal charges, but the FBI Director did indict her today for her incredible lack of judgment and honesty. Watch her LIE over and over again. Unbelievable! ‪#‎CrookedHillary‬ ‪#‎RiggedSystem‬"
More Clinton parsing? Notice the use of the phrase "marked classified". Could this mean she sent and received classified material that was cut and pasted into emails, leaving out the markings?

CAN HILLARY SURVIVE?  "I agree with Roger Simon, who writes: “Did Comey Actually Destroy Hillary Clinton by ‘Exonerating’ Her?”

He may have let her off the hook legally, but personally he has left the putative Democratic candidate scarred almost beyond recognition.

By getting out in front of the Justice Department, the FBI director, speaking publicly in an admittedly unusual fashion, was able to frame the case in a manner that Attorney General Loretta Lynch in all probability never would have." . . .   John Hinderaker 

RESTRAINING OUR WAY TO UNRESTRAINED GOVERNMENT  "My point, though, is that this may be another case of a non-leftist making a strained decision that favors the left out of respect for the democratic process — i.e., a strong reluctance to disturb its outcomes. In other words, the decision seems like the product of restraint."

Hillary’s Banana Republic  " Tuesday morning, FBI Director James Comey stepped up to a podium and calmly and methodically demolished every single Hillary Clinton lie, spin, and evasion regarding her misuse of classified information. Months of deception blew up in her face. And then Comey decided to make her president of the United States." . . .

OBAMA'S FINAL-YEAR FOREIGN-POLICY PRIORITY: 'GAY' RIGHTS

"President building legacy of forcing others to accept LGBT agenda"

WND

. . . “ 'For eight years everyone’s tried to figure out Obama: Why did he pull our troops out of Iraq, creating ISIS, and why does he release top terrorists from Guantanamo during wartime?” Kupelian asked. “Why, with our economy in shambles and terrorism in the homeland an increasingly gruesome reality, does Obama ignore reality and obsess over phantom menaces like global warming and transgender discrimination?

“ 'And now – with the world on fire, fueled largely by his disastrous presidency – why is he making global gay rights his final-year foreign policy priority?”

"Some chalk it up to Obama’s extreme left-wing ideology while others say he’s sympathetic to radical Islam. Some psychiatrists, according to Kupelian, even suggest the president suffers from a mental illness such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

“ 'But, while these and other explanations are by no means mutually exclusive, they miss the point,” Kupelian said. “Obama, whose values were shaped during his formative years by communists, Muslims, anti-American racists and criminals, has a spiritual problem: He is secretly attracted to everything wrong, and repelled by genuine goodness.”

Hey Hillary, Happy Independence Day! Wikileaks Sets Off Fireworks Releasing Emails!

"Only in America can you be under FBI investigation AND run for president. This is truly an amazing place. #neverhilary #hillno #nomoreclintons"

Wayne Dupree

. . . "On June 16, Julian Assange said he would release emails captured from Hillary Clinton’s Secretary of State private email server that was not secure and he’s finally done it.

"Wiki Leaks has her emails, and we are supposed to believe that the Russian’s, Chinese, Iranians, North Korean’s and ISIS never saw anything on her unsecured server. This is just too good. Hillary supporters will ignore it, but the undecided, independents won’t and believe or not, six percent of the populace determine the election.

"So uhh…this looks like she wanted something sensitive sent as non-sensitive doesn’t it? You can search for more information, search here: https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/"

. . . 

"Mainstream media will just sweep it under the rug. It’s a shame no media outlet uses good old fashioned investigative journalism. They could have had a field day these last seven plus years.

"It’s a shame that Wikileaks is more reliable than the government. Plus, it’s a shame this woman is allowed to run for office. Imagine anyone else was under FBI investigation and running for president. We would have lost our minds, but Hillary pulls the gender card and gets a free pass.

"Too bad, they can’t get their hands on the ones that the President and Clinton do not want to be published until after the election. It would be interesting to see what Obama and Clinton do not want people to see. If Clinton wins the election, nobody will ever see them. I hope Trump wins so we can see just what went on."

Shocking Development Out of Lynch-Clinton Tarmac Meeting

Independent Sentinel

Billy Bubba Clinton

"This could be what Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton discussed on the tarmac in Arizona this past week – a job. An article in the New York Times discussed Mrs. Clinton’s interest in having a cabinet comprised of half women. She’s not looking for qualifications, she’s looking at gender.

"She’s also looking at saving herself from an indictment. Down in the article, it says this:

She [Hillary] hopes to reassure progressives with her executive actions, which would also include new protections for undocumented immigrant parents, as well as her personnel appointments. Having women make up half of her cabinet would be historic (in recent years, a quarter to a third of cabinet positions have been held by women), and Democrats close to Mrs. Clinton say she may decide to retain Ms. Lynch, the nation’s first black woman to be attorney general, who took office in April 2015.

"Is that what Bill told Lynch – don’t indict Hillary and you keep your job?

"Expect eight years of this garbage if Hillary wins.

If You Seek a Monument, Look Around You

Cat Rotator's Quarterly   "What should a country remember? What should it forget? Some say we should remember only the times where the nation failed to live up to ideals, to mourn in sackcloth and ashes forever. Others say we should honor those who fought for the ideals of the country. And a lot are setting out or raising their flags, heading to small town parades, firing up the grill, checking the smoker, assembling the ingredients for ice cream sundaes, or flan, or other good stuff, and ignoring the entire philosophic argument. I think they’re the wise ones. They remember that the US is different, and celebrate that without worrying about who might care.

"It is easy, especially for those immersed in mass culture, to forget just how unusual the US is. It is the only country founded on a set of ideas that place the government behind the citizens. All powers are derived from the consent of the governed. The country’s founding idea is that the citizens agree to allow the government to have some of their powers, so long as the government behaves, for the greater good. The state, be it a monarchy, oligarchy, council of elders, or elected officials, does not grant rights to the citizens. The citizens loan powers to the government. That is totally bass-akwards to most of the world." . . .

Independence and Identity: What Israel Knows, Europe Has Forgotten, and America May Yet Remember

http://terrellaftermath.com/

Abe Katsman   "The Fourth of July is beautiful.  Independence Day marks arguably the most consequential positive political event in history and deserves every bit of the enthusiastic celebration with which it is observed.  Yet the day goes by insufficiently appreciated by so many – a symptom of the erosion of our American identity. 

"For some perspective, let's start by looking at Memorial Day.  In Israel.

Israel.  Yom Hazikaron (Israel's Day of Remembrance) is ushered in by a wailing siren.  Everyone – even drivers on the freeways – stops in his tracks for a minute of mournful silence.  The somber mood of the day is everywhere: no hot dogs or barbecues; no sales at the malls.  No rock music on the radio; no Friends reruns or light entertainment on TV – just reflective songs, unvarnished war documentaries, heart-piercing interviews with families of fallen soldiers, and coverage of countless memorial ceremonies at the nation's cemeteries.  It is a poignant day, dripping with tragedy, loss, sacrifice, and suffering – but also with heroism, pride, honor, and gratitude.

"Does that sound like your Memorial Day?" . . .

Why this year you must REFUSE to celebrate “the 4th of July”

. . . "We live in a nation wherein our leadership just changed the Oath of Allegiance (legal) immigrants to our nation must take so as to exclude the former requirement to pledge to defend America. We live in a nation where our leader, the President of the United States of America, while standing on foreign soil, apologizes for our nation’s behavior and calls America “arrogant.”

"Where our countrymen plea for assistance to our leaders to come save their lives but instead are left to fend for themselves and perish.

"We are currently being led by individuals for whom our sense of national pride is foolishness and the acknowledgement of American exceptionalism is viewed as a delusion of imperialistic grandeur. “How dare we think we’re better than anybody else?!”

"Well you know what? We are." . . .

The Real Story Behind The Clinton-Lynch Meeting

"By not recusing herself, she remains in control and is letting us know that a deal has been cut between her and the Clintons...a Supreme Court nominations perhaps, a position as dean at a major law school, or simply cold cash. It could be anything."

Joshuapundit

"Here's the narrative we're being expected to believe...Bill Clinton and Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch just happened to run into each other at the Phoenix Arizona airport and had a friendly little chat for 30 or 40 minutes on AG Lynch's private plane about golf and grand kids.

"That didn't pass the smell test with anyone but the most gullible true believers. For one thing, anyone familiar with the security arrangement involved in this sort of thing for ex-presidents and a standing Attorney General knows that this kind of meeting is arranged far in advance. Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch may want the peasants disarmed and helpless, but they have 24-7 well armed security provided for them by the taxpayers wherever they go and whatever they do. Not only that, but even for private planes takeoff has to be coordinated and scheduled with the airport and kept to that schedule unless there's a major emergency or maintenance issue.

"And it's also obvious that the agenda for this meeting was also planned in advance. Chatting about grand kids and golf doesn't take 30 or 40 minutes.And heart patients usually don't subject themselves to triple digit temperatures by choice unless it's something vital." . . .

. . . "Yes, you got that right. We're not just talking about Mrs. Clinton. The head of America's Department of Justice, the chief law enforcement officer in the nation met secretly with bill Clinton, whose also under investigation by the FBI." . . .
