Maggie Goodlander is a DC insider. She and her hubby, Jake Sullivan, have gotten rich from “government service.” So rich, in fact, that in 2018 she and Jake bought a dacha in Portsmouth for over $1 million.
Benghazi
King Biden’s Shell Game
The heavy hand has fallen on Florida because Gov. DeSantis will not fall on his knees to a senile, god-king wannabe (Dementia Joe). A government-approved medication, monoclonal antibodies, that by all reports say work on COVID-19 (for those who can get it) are now being rationed in FL, where the need is very high.
If Biden Leaves Americans Behind in Afghanistan…
Calls for the impeachment of Joe Biden have reached Congress as terror and blood run unabated in Afghanistan. News coming from there paints the promise of a hell on earth even as thousands of American citizens struggle to escape along with citizens from many allied countries working there.
Susan Rice Takes a Swing at Trump and Hits Barack Obama Instead
The Left’s Russian obsession may have claimed fresh casualties. Susan Rice, while taking a cheap shot at Donald Trump and his National Security Advisors, exposed Brack Obama to an identical charge over the rise of ISIS. Dereliction of duty. Well, not exactly identical.
If Trump Tweeting About Marie Yovanovitch is an Outrage, What is “Obama Left Ambassador Chris Stevens to Die”?
As the Left loses their collectivist minds over Trump diplomacy in Ukraine let’s not lose sight of something. Marie Yovanovitch was recalled from Ukraine. Under Obama, Chris Steven’s was left to die. Murdered. His corpse dragged through the street by our enemies.
Emails Hillary Tried to Hide Found in Obama White House
Judicial Watch has been nothing if not persistent in its dogged pursuit of evidence. Armed with freedom of information act requests (FOIA) they have uncovered proof implicating high ranking officials in our government to covering up illegal behavior. Including Obama’s White House.
13 Days after Benghazi Ilhan Omar Tweeted “Allahu Akbar :) #LifeisGood”
We can’t know her mind on 9/25/2012. But we have a sense of her mind now. On September 11th, 2001 some people did something. This is also true of September 11th, 2012. Some Islamists said Allahu Akbar and killed Americans.
Obama Says Benghazi is a ‘Wild Conspiracy Theory’
Barack Obama likes attention, so he got up the other day and said stuff to get him some.
“But over the past few decades, the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the Republican party,” Obama said.
Obama then attacked Republican members of Congress, accusing them of embracing “wild conspiracy theories like those surrounding Benghazi.”
He got some.

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Ben Ghazi on a 9/11 Conference Call…
The scandal that wont go away keeps getting better. It looks like we can now speculate as to what Obama was doing while his Libyan Ambassador was under assault. Plotting his political out. Via Gateway Pundit: I think there is a bigger story here that will in time come out. The biggest scandal of all, … Read more

O on Terrorism, Striking Foreign and Domestic Intersections
Yesterday, the pusillanimous powder puff currently lounging in the Oval Office gave a speech on the “war on terror”. Below are some of the lines that struck me as interesting given the current maelstrom of power abuse scandals spinning around the great eared one.
Oblow-hardia:
“We will never erase the evil that lies in the hearts of some human beings, nor stamp out every danger to our open society. What we can do – what we must do – is dismantle networks that pose a direct danger, and make it less likely for new groups to gain a foothold, all while maintaining the freedoms and ideals that we defend.”
Naturally, the “networks that pose a direct danger” is in the eye of the beHolder. Given the recent lens that many more now peer through to clearly make out this administration’s penchant for abusing power and disrupting networks of American citizens it’s hard not to know what else he’s referring to.
Benghazi scandal: Massive coverup collapsing?
If so…well…this is breaking today from PJMedia: According to two former U.S. diplomats…pressure was put on General Carter Ham—then in command of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and therefore responsible for Libya—not to act to protect jeopardized U.S. personnel in Benghazi….Military contacts of the diplomats tell them that AFRICOM had Special Ops “assets in place that … Read more

“Can’t Keep Up…” – You and me both Steve
As Steve alluded to yesterday, the beast is so swollen, engorged on coercive bureaucratic fat, that it finally burst, raining juicy Big Gov abuse stories all over the land. Though the forecast predicted the fallout, I didn’t think so many would hit in one week. (The cynical side of me thinks that many of these stories would serve as a nice smoke screen distraction to redirect attention from Benghazi, but that’s just my cynical side.)
Big Gov can’t help itself. The chemistry for abuse is intrinsic to the beast and pushes through its swollen veins, suffusing every crevice. Hubris and power and a naked zeal to do as one pleases is the toxic cocktail that explodes when mixed in vast, opaque, honey combed cubicles and goes unchecked. This is the nature of the ginormous beast and it is impossible to oversee and manage. There are going to be abuses. There is going to be waist and inefficiencies. It happens in every entity that grows beyond itself whether it’s a company, a corporation, a code base (sorry for the nerd out), or with government. The difference is that with government, it has the power of the state. The power to seize, coerce and apply violence to do so. The power to acquire individual information, property, and throw down demands that the individual must labor to meet in order to “qualify”.
And this is the result.
Quick take on the biggies:
Benghazi and the depravity of our leadership
I blogged recently about the Benghazi disaster, about Mark Steyn’s column, and what was said about the column at Cold Fury. I want to re-emphasize it now: We have elected these people to positions of national leadership. Obama twice. Here’s Steyn, from his column, “The Benghazi Lie”:
Decisions have consequences – even on Mother’s Day
We just returned from a dinner out – courtesy of the Youngest who had asked if he could take TMEW out for Mother’s Day – a very pleasant time and not a single word about blogging or politics out of me (er, maybe that was the reason for “a very pleasant time”?). Yet, for at … Read more
At SteynOnline, “The Benghazi Lie.” At Cold Fury, “Steyn Stumbles.”
“Cold Fury”? It’s a blog site with an excellent analysis of a recent column by Mark Steyn (a citizen of the Free State of New Hampshire by the way). The writing at Cold Fury, Steyn Stumbles, is well worth reading. So is Steyn’s column, The Benghazi Lie. Both are well worth it.
