Bill Clinton Loses It Over Benghazi Hecklers At Campaign Rally

Bill Clinton Loses It Over Benghazi Hecklers At Campaign Rally [VIDEO] | The Daily Caller:
Former President Bill Clinton became angry when he was heckled by protesters during a campaign event in Bluffton, South Carolina on Friday.
The protesters demanded to know if his wife Hillary Clinton lied about the four American deaths that occurred during the attack in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.
...Another woman yelled out, “Hillary lied over four coffins! She lied and she lied to those families, so all those families are liars? I want to know. Did she lie?”
Clinton responded, “Are you going to give me a chance to answer?”
“Answer. Did she lie?” the woman said.
“No,” Clinton responded.
“Those families are lying?” The woman asked.
“Will you listen to me?” Clinton responded.
At that point the crowd began to drown her out as she shouted, “No, I’m not going to shut up!”
“Why are you trying to not listen to my answer?” Clinton inquired.
“I am,” she said.
“Are you afraid?” he asked.
“No. I’m not afraid because I know you’re going to lie,” she said.
Law enforcement grabbed the woman and began to lead her out of the room at that point, as she screamed “She lied!”

German Government Admits They Have Lost 130,000 Migrants.

UK OPEN Political Debate:
German Government Admits They Have Lost 130,000 Migrants.
"...German authorities do not know the whereabouts of 130,000 migrants, the government confessed today. 
It means that more than one in ten unvetted new arrivals from the Middle East have disappeared, somewhere in Europe.
Of the 1.1 million migrants who registered as asylum seekers in Germany in 2015, “about 13% did not turn up at the reception centres to which they had been directed,” the government said in a written reply to a question from a lawmaker from the Left Party.
The official government admission follows a previous calculation suggesting that the number of missing migrants could be as high as 600,000.
The Interior Ministry said that the migrants, who were initially invited into Europe by German Chancellor Merkel, may have travelled on to other countries or “slipped into illegality”...

“...Dusty 52, Center, we have you at 620 on the ground.”
And I thought to myself, is this a ripe situation, or what?
As my hand instinctively reached for the mic button, I had to remind myself that Walt was in control of the radios.
Still, I thought, it must be done – in mere seconds we’ll be out of the sector and the opportunity will be lost.
That Hornet must die, and die now.
I thought about all of our Sim training and how important it was that we developed well as a crew and knew that to jump in on the radios now would destroy the integrity of all that we had worked toward becoming.
 I was torn.
Somewhere, 13 miles above Arizona, there was a pilot screaming inside his space helmet.
Then, I heard it.

The Game Changed in Venezuela Last Night - and the International Media Is Asleep At the Switch

The Game Changed in Venezuela Last Night - and the International Media Is Asleep At the Switch | Caracas Chronicles:
Dear International Editor:
Listen and understand.
The game changed in Venezuela last night. 
What had been a slow-motion unravelling that had stretched out over many years went kinetic all of a sudden.
What we have this morning is no longer the Venezuela story you thought you understood.
Throughout last night, panicked people told their stories of state-sponsored paramilitaries on motorcycles roaming middle class neighborhoods, shooting at people and  storming into apartment buildings, shooting at anyone who seemed like he might be protesting.
People continue to be arrested merely for protesting, and a long established local Human Rights NGO makes an urgent plea for an investigation into widespread reports of torture of detainees.
There are now dozens of serious human right abuses: National Guardsmen shooting tear gas canisters directly into residential buildings.
We have videos of soldiers shooting civilians on the street.
And that’s just what came out in real time, over Twitter and YouTube, before any real investigation is carried out.
Online media is next, a city of 645,000 inhabitants has been taken off the internet amid mounting repression, and this blog itself has been the object of a Facebook “block” campaign.
What we saw were not “street clashes”, what we saw is a state-hatched offensive to suppress and terrorize its opponents.
Here at Caracas Chronicles we’re doing what it can to document the crisis, but there’s only so much one tiny, zero-budget blog can do.
After the major crackdown on the streets of large (and small) Venezuelan cities last night, I expected some kind of response in the major international news outlets this morning. 
I understand that with an even bigger and more photogenic freakout ongoing in an even more strategically important country, we weren’t going to be front-page-above-the-fold, but I’m staggered this morning to wake up, scan the press and find…
Nothing.
As of 11 a.m. this morning, the New York Times World Section has…nothing.

‘White Privilege Conference’ videos offer chilling glimpse into leftist indoctrination

‘White Privilege Conference’ videos offer chilling glimpse into leftist indoctrination | EAGnews.org
MADISON, Wis. – The annual White Privilege Conference sells itself as a gathering of people who want to bring all Americans closer together in an effort to build a more just society.
...But is the message conveyed to those educators really about racial tolerance and cooperation, and making the American dream more accessible to everyone?
Or is it an opportunity for radical left wing activists to attack the United States, white citizens and fundamental foundations of American culture, like Christianity and free market economics?
...It’s definitely not about “understanding, respecting and connecting.”
The U.S. is castigated as an evil, unjust nation that goes out of its way to keep people of color trapped in poverty and second-class citizenship.
“Racism is central to America,” said Professor Adrien Wing of the University of Iowa during her remarks to the conference. “It’s central to how the country was developed. It is central to how it operates right now. And if you don’t understand that you can’t actually understand how the country is developing and has developed.”
If the conference does not mean to “attack, degrade or beat up on white folks,” it has some work to do in that area.
“And then there are the little white families who live in the little white zones in little white gated communities and send their kids to little white academies,” said activist Leonard Zeskind during a conference workshop.
When asked if he thought those families live in gated communities because they are racist, Zeskind replied, “I sure the **** do.”

When Someone Argues “Not All Muslims Are Bad”, Show Them THIS EPIC Response

When Someone Argues “Not All Muslims Are Bad”, Show Them THIS EPIC Response | The Proud Conservative:
We always hear the argument that most Muslims are peaceful people, which is actually a true statement.
Most Muslims are in fact peaceful people, but there is one major problem that Brigitte Gabriel brings to light in the most epic way imaginable.
She destroys the poor questioner from the audience, but with facts.
There is an estimated 1.8 billion (give or take) Muslims on the planet, so if even a small percentage, or a large percentage as Brigette points out, of Muslims are radical or extreme, then there are potentially still hundreds of millions of Muslims out there that pose a threat to the rest of the world that are not Muslim.
WATCH Brigette Gabriel deliver, without a doubt, the best response you will ever hear to the notion of “not all Muslims are bad”.
In fact, memorize it and use it against those who make the claim…

"The State Department on Friday afternoon turned over 1,600 pages of new documents related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Libya, the House Select Committee on Benghazi announced.

The trove of documents, requested by the House committee nearly a year ago, could ultimately be released to the public if a Freedom of Information Act request is filed, but would likely contain redactions."

"In an internal message to employees obtained by Gizmodo, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote that he considers the behavior “malicious.”

“There have been several recent instances of people crossing out ‘black lives matter’ and writing ‘all lives matter’ on the walls at MPK,” Zuckerberg wrote. “Despite my clear communication at Q&A last week that this was unacceptable, and messages from several other leaders from across the company, this has happened again.”

It's nice to see that some of his employees are capable of thinking for themselves.

He added, “And what boggles my mind, is that the president is contemplating directing the military to knowingly break the law.”

Syria: high winds and technical difficulties hinder UN airdrop

Syria: high winds and technical difficulties hinder UN airdrop | Global development | The Guardian:
"The UN’s first attempt to airdrop food to thousands of Syrian civilians in the besieged city of Deir ez-Zor has been thwarted by high winds and technical difficulties, according to the World Food Programme.
The UN food agency, which organised Wednesday’s operation, said of the 21 pallets of food airdropped to the city,

  • four were damaged because their parachutes failed to open properly, 
  • seven landed in no man’s land and 
  • 10 drifted away and remained unaccounted for.

The mission saw a WFP-chartered Russian transport plane drop the equivalent of a medium-sized truckload of vegetable oil, lentils, rice and salt from an altitude of 7,000 metres (23,000ft).
Had it landed safely, the food would have fed 2,500 people for a month.
Unverified reports have suggested that as many as 20 people in the city have already died of starvation..."

New Report: Preschool Benefits Not Supported by Evidence

New Report: Preschool Benefits Not Supported by Evidence | Intellectual Takeout:
Would it be wise to wait before we spend millions of dollars on the alleged preschool panacea?"
As state legislative sessions kick into high gear for 2016, it’s inevitable that some lawmakers will suggest implementing a universal Pre-K plan.
This is because universal pre-K has become the silver bullet with which politicians try to lift the masses out of poverty while simultaneously improving academic performance in the public schools.
But before politicians pile on the pre-K bandwagon, they may be wise to look at the evidence first. According to a new report by Brookings scholar Dale Farran, the evidence of pre-K’s effectiveness is miniscule.
Farran writes:
“The proposition that expanding pre-K will improve later achievement for children from low-income families is premature.
Premature as well is the presumption that solid research exists to guide the content and structure of pre-K programs.
Despite more than 50 years of preliminary work on pre-K as an early intervention for young children from poor backgrounds, the field of early childhood education has a relatively small database to use as a guide to effective practice.”
Farran goes on to explain several reasons why the evidence for pre-K success is slim:
It’s based on old studies – As Farran notes, the main evidence for the effectiveness of pre-K is based on old studies, such as the Perry Preschool and the Abecedarian Project. 
According to Farran, these studies sought different goals (namely the increase of IQ scores among children labeled with “mild retardation”) than the one of “school readiness” which modern preschool proponents seek.
Furthermore, these studies incorporated elements not found in today’s preschools, including intense educational and parental-aid measures.
To say that today’s less intense pre-K programs can produce the same benefits as these old studies, Farran argues, is simply not supported by evidence..."

Hundreds show up for Kalispell (MT) refugee talk

Hundreds show up for Kalispell refugee talk - Daily Inter Lake: Members
An estimated 460 people turned out Tuesday in Kalispell to hear a Bozeman-based immigration speaker detail the reasons he believes settlement of refugees in the United States is a drain on national resources and potential threat to homeland security. 
Paul Nachman said immigrants often don’t assimilate and are a drain on state resources. 
He pointed out that the two brothers who carried out the Boston Marathon bombings were children of parents who were granted asylum from war-torn Chechnya.
...Nachman said the purpose of the United States is stated in the Preamble to the Constitution.
He focused on the part that says the people of the United States will “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
“So what the United States is about is benefiting the citizens of the United States, not rescuing the rest of the world from its distress,” Nachman said.
...After the event, Solomon said that most people came out because they wanted to learn about the refugee resettlement issue and how to speak out against bringing people into the country without proper vetting.
“I think they are ready, in an intelligent and humane way, to express their feelings and what they are standing for,” Solomon said.
The Obama administration announced in September that it intends to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees to the United States..."

Lawmakers: Administration Illegally Diverted Billions to Insurers

Lawmakers: Administration Illegally Diverted Billions to Insurers:
"Republicans on Capitol Hill are questioning the legality of a move by the Obama administration to give billions to insurers under a program implemented under Obamacare that they say is equal to an insurer bailout.
At issue for lawmakers on the House Energy and Commerce Committee is whether the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services violated the Affordable Care Act by diverting $3.5 billion intended for the U.S. Treasury to insurance companies.
“[Earlier this month], the administration announced that they would be using billions of taxpayer dollars to make payments to insurance companies under the Obamacare reinsurance program,” Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Penn., said Wednesday during a hearing with Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell.
“The announcement that the administration made represents an illegal wealth transfer from hardworking taxpayers to insurers,” he continued, “and this law is very clear—$5 billion of reinsurance fees must be returned to the taxpayers...”

Democrats run your city? You got Venezuela!----- Mobile food pantry aims to lessen effects of lead from Flint water crisis

Mobile food pantry aims to lessen effects of lead from Flint water crisis | MLive.com:
FLINT, MI – The sanctuary was full and pastor behind the pulpit, but there was no service taking place Wednesday afternoon at Prince of Peace Missionary Baptist Church in Flint.
Residents wound their way from the front door, through a registration table and waited to have their numbers called before heading downstairs and choosing food items dropped off a short time earlier by the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.
The mobile food pantry event at the Stevenson Street church, a partnership between the food bank and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, offered fruits, vegetables and non-perishable food items meant to combat the impact of lead exposure for up to 400 families.
Pastor Jeffrey Hawkins said the purpose of Wednesday's gathering was to "fight lead through nutrition, so it gives us an opportunity to help our residents out."
The food pantry is being paid for in part by a $28 million appropriations bill passed by state lawmakers and signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in January.
...."We all need help. We're suffering because of this water and high water bills and high electricity bills," she said.
"It just doesn't make no sense us paying for this water we can't use. "
...Other upcoming mobile food pantry events set to take place in the city include the following times, dates and locations:
Noon, Friday Feb. 26, My Brother's Keeper, 101 N. Grand Traverse Blvd.
Noon, Tuesday, March 1, Church Without Walls, 6202 Dupont St.

"President Obama is urging Congress to approve the closing of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, allow for the transfer of remaining detainees to the U.S. and try them in U.S. courts.

In calling for the policy change, Obama said the move would save taxpayers money without compromising security. In fact, Obama argues that America is less safe because of the facility."
