NRA Declines Debate With nObama
The question is this: Can the Second Amendment hold up before a freewheeling and possibly rigged debate? Should a defender of Liberty enter a situation where he or she is unfairly targeted and present their ideas to a potentially hostile audience, hopefully winning some over? While we believe that the truth ultimately prevails, the National Rifle Association declined to send a spokesman to defend its views on firearms to Barack nObama's face. CNN is scheduled to hold a town hall event with the chief executive to talk about the issue of "gun violence" in Virginia Thursday night. But as the NRA told the network through its spokesman Andrew Arulanandam, "The National Rifle Association sees no reason to participate in a public relations spectacle orchestrated by the White House." They're absolutely right about nObama's intentions, but perhaps this was also a jab at CNN, which regularly carries water for the administration. But in a way it's a lost opportunity. Now, more than ever, Americans need to hear that owning a firearm is not only not bad, but good. It's participating in American government.
As David French so aptly wrote in his response to nObama crying while announcing his executive orders on gun control, "Gun ownership goes to the heart of what it means to be a responsible citizen in our constitutional republic. It goes to the heart of what it means to be a responsible parent or spouse. It isn't merely about hunting, or the joy of an afternoon at the firing range, or 'looking tough.' It isn't about fear. It's about autonomy, independence, and a deep and self-sacrificial regard for the lives of those you love. It's about exercising the fundamental human right to defend oneself and others."
What would nObama have to say to that? -The Patriot Post

The Case for Clinton's Indictment
Will Hilly Clinton be indicted? This former U.S. attorney thinks so. Joe DiGenova, a Ronald Reagan appointee, says the FBI has "reached a critical mass in their investigation of the secretary and all of her senior staff, and, it's going to come to a head, I would suggest, in the next 60 days." He argues she'll be indicted because Attorney General Loretta Lynch won't be able to avoid it. "It's going to be a very complex matter for the Department of Justice, but they're not going to be able to walk away from it," DiGenova said. "They are now at over 1,200 classified emails. And, that's just for the ones we know about from the State Department. That does not include the ones that the FBI is, in fact, recovering from her hard drives. ... I believe that the evidence that the FBI is compiling will be so compelling that, unless [Lynch] agrees to the charges, there will be a massive revolt inside the FBI, which she will not be able to survive as an attorney general. It will be like Watergate. It will be unbelievable." Finally, he said, "The evidence against the Clinton staff and the secretary is so overwhelming at this point that if, in fact, she chooses not to charge Hilly, they will never be able to charge another federal employee with the negligent handling of classified information. The intelligence community will not stand for that. They will fight for indictment and they are already in the process of gearing themselves to basically revolt if she refuses to bring charges." Of course, only time will tell, but it sure would be earth-moving if he's right. -The Patriot Post

OPINION IN BRIEF
Victor Davis Hanson: "Over the last seven years, the world has become acclimatized to the lead-from-behind role of the United States. Under Obama, friends and enemies bet that America was conflicted about the wisdom and morality of the entire American-led postwar global enterprise and reacted accordingly. But — who knows? — the next American president may identify radical Islam as the catalyst for terrorism directed at the West. Cuba in 2017 may no longer be seen as a newfound friend but as an old-time violator of human rights. Next year, will the Islamic State still be seen as a 'jayvee' organization, or as an existential danger to the U.S. homeland? In all of these cases, uncertainty rather than assured continuity in present U.S. foreign policy is likely — largely because the stubborn and tone-deaf Obama administration has lost the support of the American public on almost all of its foreign policy initiatives, from signing the Iran pact, to dealing with terrorism, to handling China and Russia. Unfortunately, the predictable corrections under a new president in 2017 will make 2016 more dangerous than any year since 1980."

House Committee: No Funding
for New Gun Control
Tad Cronn
.
{politicaloutcast.com} ~ The House Appropriations Committee has warned the Department of Justice that it has no plans to approve funds for President Obama's latest gun control schemes... House Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies subcommittee Chairman Rep. John Culberson wrote in a terse letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch that any executive orders on gun control should not be paid for out of already approved funding. "I want to express the committee's expectation that the Department of Justice will allocate its resources to the enforcement of existing federal law," Culberson, chairman of the House Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies subcommittee..

Interview with Hilly Clinton
about Benghazi
Tom McLaughlin.
“Somebody’s lying,” I said to Hilly Clinton. “Who is it?” “Well, it’s not me,” she answered. “That’s all I can tell you.”.
Tom Eastman, Mark Guerringue, Hilly Clinton

This was last Wednesday when Hilly’s huge entourage returned to The Conway Daily Sun’s office for another interview. She’d been there in 2007 during her first presidential campaign but I was still teaching then and I missed it. This time I really wanted to be there, so I drove twenty-five miles in a snowstorm, hoping she wouldn’t cancel. She didn’t..
.
I inserted myself at this point, saying: “I have a specific question about that if I could interject.”

“…about it being an al Qaida-like group, Ansar al Sharia. Then you told an Egyptian diplomat in a phone conversation that it was a planned attack and not a protest. Umm, but then, when the bodies were brought back, you spoke to the family members and you told them, they say that you told them, this was a spontaneous demonstration. And then George Stephanopolous asked on This Week: “Did you tell them it was about the film?”

“Well, not me. That’s all I can tell you,” she continued. “But, you know, people were incredibly emotionally distraught. Let, let’s give everybody a little bit of breathing room here and recognize that, [pause] There — I mean I-I’m trying to remember what is in the public record and what isn’t. Let’s just say that some of the families didn’t even know that their sons were working for the CIA and were in Benghazi. This was a huge emotional blow, and I’m very sympathetic to that. I can only tell you what the facts were. That period when I talked to the Egyptian Prime Minister was in that bubble when we thought there was a terrorist group taking credit for it, and that’s what we said. And when they withdrew, and when the intelligence community, led by the CIA, basically said we don’t know yet. Because remember, the CIA and the intel community was guiding us about what they thought happened and we had to rely on that. We didn’t have any independent information or verification. All this material was coming in. The CIA was sorting it out.”

She went on, saying, “And if you look at the reports that were done, ah, by the minority on the Benghazi Committee, because it’s a much more reliable source than the Republican majority. They go through, chapter and verse, timing, about what happened, when, and the bottom line is what happened is that people were doing the best they could dealing with information that was changing, and the CIA wrote and approved the talking points that were used, ahh, and it was also true that from Egypt, to Tunisia, to Pakistan, the video was the primary spark that was sending people into protesting against our facilities. All of this was happening simultaneously. It wasn’t either/or as much as people want to get to the bottom of it. It was an amalgam of information and action.”

“Three different people — Tyrone Woods’ father said — about you — that you said, ‘We’re going to have those people arrested who were responsible for the death of your son.’ Sean Smith’s mother reported, ‘She [Hilly] said that it was because of the video.’ And then Glenn Doherty’s sister said that, “You chose to, in that moment, to basically perpetuate what you knew was untrue.’ So, all three of them say you told them that.”

Carly Fiorina
.
Coincidentally, that very morning I did a telephone interview with Carly Fiorina, the other woman running for president, and told her about the pending Clinton interview. I said if you could ask Hilly one question, what would it be? Without hesitation, Carly said: “Why did you lie? Why did you lie to American people the morning after the Benghazi attack?” I told her that’s exactly the question I chose. Carly’s interview deserves its own column, which is coming up next..
