NATIONAL ARCHIVES WANTS ANSWERS FROM HILLY
Politico: “The National Archives has formally asked the State Department to explain how Hilly Clinton’s emails as secretary of state ended up on her private email server rather than a government system. In a letter sent earlier this month and obtained Wednesday by POLITICO, National Archives and Records Administration official Paul Wester asked State to report on whether federal records had been ‘alienated’ and what steps the agency is taking to address the situation. ‘NARA is concerned that Federal records may have been alienated from the Department of State’s official recordkeeping systems,’ Wester wrote to Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Margaret Grafeld.”
[WashEx: “Add the Keystone XL oil pipeline to Benghazi and Clinton Foundation fundraising as subject lines being sought in legal cases against former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton and her missing emails. The liberal Friends of the Earth Wednesday filed a Freedom of Information Act demand for emails that they say Clinton never produced under an earlier request.”] -Fox News

Double standard - Daily Caller: “Failure to sign a formal separation agreement can have dire consequences for rank-and-file State Department employees, an agency whistle-blower told The Daily Caller. That is in stark contrast to what happens to top-level officials such as former Sec. of State Hilly Clinton if they refuse to sign the separation form, OF-109. Ramifications for lower-level State Department employees include the withholding of retirement benefits and possible investigations conducted by the agency into why employees declined to sign the form, whistle-blower Richard Higbie says. By signing OF-109, agency employees affirm that they have turned over all records - classified or unclassified; emails or physical documents - pertaining to official government business. Whether or not Clinton - who used a private email account hosted on a private server to conduct official business - signed the document when she left office in Feb. 2013 was finally answered on Tuesday by State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki.” -Fox News
Running against GOP Congress already - Hey, what happened to the “warm purple space?” WaPo: “[Clinton] is already running her presidential campaign, against the Republican Congress. And the GOP is only happy to oblige. The prospective 2016 Democratic candidate is seeking to use the priorities and record of congressional Republicans as a foil, highlighting early GOP stumbles and attempting to change the subject after weeks of rough media coverage of her private e-mail system and of foreign donations to her family’s foundation. In blasts of rapid-fire Twitter messages just this week, Clinton accused Republicans of waging a war on women, playing politics with a black nominee, shortchanging students, endangering the economic recovery and trying to yank health-care coverage for 16 million Americans…” -Fox News
The Judge’s Ruling - From the danger to national security to a lack of compliance with federal records laws, Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano ponders the legal jeopardy Hilly Clinton email scandal presents and asks: “What if all this lawlessness and secrecy was orchestrated by Clinton herself -- a person devoid of a moral compass and disdainful of compliance with law and a habitual stranger to the truth? What if she is presently the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for president? What if the Democrats don’t care?”

WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE...
Appalachia is the scene of flooding each spring, as melting snow mixes with rain and overwhelms narrow river valleys. But before dams and floodwalls were built to control the torrents, major rivers also frequently flooded. And if you had been in Pittsburgh on this day in 1936, you would have seen the aftermath of the worst of them all. Floods, triggered by rain and the rapid melting of heavy snows surged through the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers, which meet at Pittsburgh to form the Ohio. The steel capital of the world was inundated with rivers running 21 feet above flood stage, wiping out much of the crowded downtown and ruining the U.S. Steel plants on the banks of the rivers. Authorities estimated 45 people were killed in Pittsburgh and thousands were left without homes or work as the country watched newsreels of the devastation. But what began in Pittsburgh would wreak even more damage downriver, especially in West Virginia. As many as 150 more people would be killed and whole communities were wiped out. The same conditions brought terrible flooding on the other side of the Eastern Continental Divide as well, with devastating results all the way from New England to Washington, D.C. So, if you are tempted to complain about the weather… -Fox News

Al Jazeera America is Running Out of People to Fire
(Daniel Greenfield) - What do you get when you combine Al Gore’s low performing lefty MSNBC alternative news channel with an oil state that sponsors terrorism? The answer is a cable news channel that even fewer people watch...Struggling Al Jazeera America is cutting jobs and replacing most of its daytime lineup with an overseas news feed in its latest reshuffling. Velshi’s show was the only one that anyone actually watched. And by anyone, I mean 16,000 people. I would check, but it’s not worth bothering even for the schadenfreude. Suffice it to say that no one watches Al Jazeera. And now it’s cutting airtime for the only show anyone did watch.

nObama Attempting To Negotiate Iran Into Position As New Ally
(rickwells.us) - Charles Krauthammer takes exception to the deceptive language and outright lies which are present in the nObama statement to Iran and the nuclear giveaway he’s working to negotiate...Krauthammer says, “This is the ‘president’s’ mendacity continuing to a degree that is really quite remarkable.” He quotes nObama’s statement that “there are people on both sides and beyond,” which Krauthammer says translates into Republicans at home and Israelis, “who are against a diplomatic resolution.” “That’s a lie,” says Krauthammer, “They are against this diplomatic resolution, the deal he’s doing, that any observer will tell you paves the road to an Iranian nuclear weapon that is legitimate and accepted by the international community. It is a disaster. That’s why it is opposed. People aren’t opposed to diplomacy; they are opposed to a specific deal.” http://www.rickwells.us/krauthammer-obama-attempting-to-negotiate-iran-into-position-as-new-nuclear-ally-in-middle-east/

Rep Louie Gohmert – It’s Time To Bomb Iran
(rickwells.us) - Rep Louie Gohmert (R-TX) was interviewed on the “Washington Watch” program by host Tony Perkins on the March 18th program, with the conversation turning to the Marxist agenda that is being promoted by the current occupant of the White House...They discuss how the regime is not only pressuring other nations to bend over backwards to adopt the pro-homosexual posture being displayed in his White House, but how it is also failing to act in the persecution of Christians and other minorities in the path of Islamic terrorist groups such as Boko Haram. Perkins asks Rep Gohmert where the relationship between the United States, under this “president,” and Israel goes from here. Rep Gohmert says he hopes that Israel’s right to defend itself might finally be recognized in the Congress and offers his view that it’s time to take out Iran’s nuclear program militarily.

nObama Says The Iranians Promised Not To Make Nuclear Weapons
(rickwells.us) - Judge Pirro believes that “Signing any agreement or deal with Iran would be a disaster. It would be a problem for me and it would be a problem for you.” ...She plays a propaganda piece issued by the White House in which the occupier of that building describes the “best opportunity in decades to pursue a different future between our two countries.” Iran is one of the countries Obama is referring to and it would appear that the other is the United States, as currently it is “his to destroy.” He then goes on to tout just how wonderful our relationship with the terrorist nation that just forced us to close our Yemeni embassy is and how now is the right time to trust them with nuclear weapons. Judge Jeanine isn’t sold. She says, “I don’t want to have a different experience with Iran. In fact, I don’t want to have any experience with Iran as long as the Ayatollah Khamenei is running the joint. I personally am not on a suicide mission. I’m looking to hang around as long as I can.

“Death to America” as Hanoi Kerry hails progress on nuke deal
(Robert Spencer) - How they must be laughing up their sleeves in Tehran at Hanoi Kerry and the rest of the American fools so eager to give them everything they want on a silver platter...Iran’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei called for “Death to America” on Saturday, a day after President Barack nObama appealed to Iran to seize a “historic opportunity” for a nuclear deal and a better future, and as US Secretary of State Hanoi John Kerry claimed substantial progress toward an accord. Khamenei told a crowd in Tehran that Iran would not capitulate to Western demands. When the crowd started shouting, “Death to America,” the ayatollah responded: “Of course yes, death to America, because America is the original source of this pressure. http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/03/khamenei-screams-death-to-america-as-kerry-hails-progress-on-nuke-deal?utm_source=Jihad+Watch+Daily+Digest&utm_campaign=1c2e56b1ed-Daily_Digest&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ffcbf57bbb-1c2e56b1ed-123451509

This Sign Is Going VIRAL And It’s Pissing Off Liberals
(AmyElizabeth) - Just a few decades ago, America was anti-communist and fought valiantly in the name of freedom and democracy...But when you look at the facts today, communism didn’t die with the U.S.S.R. Instead communists are alive and well in America, they’ve just changed their party affiliation to Democrat…“We used to hunt communists. Now we elect them.” If you are not convinced by this statement, let’s take a look at President nObama’s actions. http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/03/22/photo-this-sign-is-going-viral-and-its-pissing-off-liberals-should-we-put-these-up-all-over-America/

Secretary of State Hanio John Kerry told Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi last week that he "expects a decision very soon" on the full restoration of U.S. military aid.
Will nObama Support Egypt's War on Radical Islam?
(Raymond Stock) - Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi continues to reach out to America for help in rallying the forces of good against a rising tide of evil—the ever-spreading virus of militant Islam...And so far we are still snubbing him. As I have written before in this space, Sisi appears to be a surprising successor to the heroic British leader who first rallied his own people, then appealed to the New World to join not only his, but humanity's, cause against the Nazi menace—which is in many ways similar to the Islamist one today. After meeting with Sisi last week at the giant Egypt Economic Development Conference (EEDC) in the southern Sinai resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Secretary of State Hanoi John Kerry said on March 14, "I really expect a decision very soon," about restoring the full $1.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid, largely suspended since the ouster of former President Mohammed Morsi at widespread popular demand in July 2013. It should of never been stopped in the first place. http://www.meforum.org/5124/egypt-war-radical-islam

Iranian Military Endorses Plan to Attack US with Nuclear EMP
(Drew Curry) - It’s something right out of a spy novel, after translating an Iranian secret military handbook US officials are on the alert about a possible nuclear electromagnetic pulse explosion that could send the United States back to the Stone Age...This startling new information flies in the face of Iran’s supposed support for a peaceful nuclear resolution and only confirms what Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Congress about. “Iranian military documents describe such a scenario — including a recently translated Iranian military textbook that endorses nuclear EMP attack against the United States,” said Dr. Peter Vincent, Executive Director of the task force on National and Homeland Security. http://www.tpnn.com/2015/03/20/iranian-military-endorse-plan-to-attack-us-with-nuclear-emp/

Veterans still can't get medical help on time
(Greg Corombos) - If you think the lies and cover-ups exposed in last year's Veterans Administration scandal are over, just ask a veteran who still can't get medical help on time...Now this "incensed" Republican has come out swinging, calling out the liars and slamming nObama because of this one special freedom he's trying to take away from America's wounded warriors. Months after the Veterans Administration scandal exploded in the headlines, top officials are still lying and hiding information from Congress, and President nObama is actively trying to roll back the freedom of veterans to seek health care outside of the government system. http://www.wnd.com/2015/03/veterans-still-cant-get-medical-help-on-time/

“If U.S. Jews knew truth – would they fund New Israel Fund?”
(pamelageller.com) - As the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) noted, “… the New Israel Fund (NIF), which for years has held itself out to be a liberal, pro-Israeli group righteously promoting the building up of civil society and aiding minorities in Israel...is a leading promoter of organizations that advocate boycotting, divesting from, and imposing sanctions upon, Israel (BDS). This undercuts any claim it might make to being a mainstream, liberal, pro-Israeli organization.” As a reminder, “16 groups funded by the NIF provided 92% of the damning statements quoted from Israeli NGOs in the U.N. Goldstone Report on the December 2008-January 2009 hostilities in Gaza.” (Caroline Glick, ‘The NIF and the next war,’ Jerusalem Post, February 5, 2010) http://pamelageller.com/2015/03/if-u-s-jews-knew-truth-would-they-fund-new-israel-fund.html/

Burt Prelutsky
(burtprelutsky.com) - In the wake of Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress and the American people, nObama said he heard nothing new. Proving that his ears, in spite of their humongous size, don’t work too well, he also said that Israel’s prime minister was calling for war. Unlike nObama, I, who watched and listened to the entire speech, heard Netanyahu call for additional sanctions. I also heard him voice what every sane American believes -- that a bad deal is far, far worse than no deal with the theocratic gangsters in Tehran.
Isn’t it peculiar that it was the original sanctions, which nObama opposed, that got Iran to the negotiating table in the first place, yet nObama fears that the mere threat of additional sanctions will drive Iran away? Just where does he think they’ll go? With an economy in tatters, thanks to the free fall in oil prices, the mullahs are at greater risk of a revolution than they’ve been since the uprising in 2009. It was an uprising, by the way, which might have even led to a change of regime if only the wimp-in-chief had taken advantage of the moment to show support for the freedom-starved Iranians.
We are told that the emperor Nero fiddled while Rome burned. With the world now going up in flames, it seems our own Nero is out golfing.
♦ During the endless analysis of Netanyahu’s remarks, I kept hearing that he didn’t ask for our military assistance and that Israel, in its 67 year history, never has, as if that’s a good thing. Why shouldn’t we fight for and alongside Israel? After all, we’ve taken up arms to protect Bosnia, Kuwait, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan, and not one of those places is an American ally. Furthermore, thanks to NATO, we would do the same for Poland, Turkey, Romania, Croatia, Albania and Greece. And thanks to SEATO, we would go to bat for France, Bangladesh and the Philippines. When you get right down to it, Israel is just about the only place on earth where we wouldn’t get involved. That makes no sense, either morally or militarily.
♦ Proving that women can be every bit as rude and arrogant as men, Nancy Pulosi made a point of turning her back on Netanyahu during his speech. But rather than be offended, I’m betting that under his breath, Netanyahu muttered, “Thank you, God.”
♦ Someone sent me a cartoon recently which showed nObama standing at a podium and announcing: “You have my word…if you like your Constitution, you can keep your Constitution.”
But it might just as easily have been Eric Holder saying those words. He is without doubt the most repulsive individual to have ever been at the helm of the Justice Department. Now, as a parting shot as he leaves the post, he has decided that the police department in Ferguson, MO, is racist. Boy, talk about your pot calling the kettle names!
Holder based his conclusion on the fact that the Ferguson cops arrest more blacks and that black motorists are far more likely to face traffic stops than white drivers. It’s bad enough when people like Holder, Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, play that particular race card while ignoring the statistical fact that blacks commit violent crimes at a far greater rate than other groups. But it is particularly galling in this case because a bit of research on my part disclosed that Ferguson has a population of 21,203, of whom 14,297 are black. Of the remaining 6,906, 6,206 are white, with the other 700 divided among Asians, American Indians, Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.
Even Holder shouldn’t be too surprised that in a town where they constitute two-thirds of the population, blacks will just naturally have more interactions with cops than will Native Americans, Asians, white people and Martians.
♦ Speaking of which, Jason Riley, an editorial board member of the Wall Street Journal and frequent Fox panelist, recently gave a speech at Hillsdale College on the subject of race relations and law enforcement. Among the facts spelled out by Riley, a black man, is that the black crime rate has risen exponentially in the years since the Great Society gave us the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, not to mention affirmative action.
What’s more, although we are constantly being told that it’s all because of drug-related crimes that our prisons are teeming with young black men, Riley points out that blacks, who constitute a mere 13% of the nation’s population, represent 37.5% of our prison population, and that if you dismiss drug-related crimes, that number would only drop to 37%.
Yet another inconvenient truth is that police officers, whether black or white, are six times more likely to be killed by a young black man than the other way around.
♦ The latest stink bomb tossed at the cops took place here in L.A. when a bum on Skid Row took umbrage at a police order, grabbed for the cop’s gun, and was killed for his troubles. Skid Row is what passes for an insane asylum here in Jerry Brown’s California. Thanks to a limited budget in spite of record high state taxes, we allow our crazies to wander freely. In fact, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., the homeless are allowed to sleep on our downtown streets. What they’re expected to do between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. is anybody’s guess. But if they happen to get into trouble with the law and grab for a cop’s gun, you can count on the L.A. Times and the ACLU to make a federal case out of it.
Inasmuch as this particular bum was a black man, I assume that Loretta Lynch, who it appears will be the next Attorney General, will call for an immediate investigation of the LAPD’s race policies; even though since 2000, there have only been 12 fatal shootings by the department, and not all of those involved black suspects.
Heck, when you consider L.A. drivers, graffiti “artists” and the morons who insist on blasting their car horns as they drive through our tunnels, I’m sorely tempted to shoot that many on a typical weekend.
♦ Speaking of murders, Vladimir Putin’s most severe critic, Boris Nemtsov, was recently shot dead in the streets of Moscow. In the famous words of O.J. Simpson, Putin has vowed to get to the bottom of it. In fact, when O.J. gets out of prison in a few years, perhaps he could don his deerstalker cap and join in the search.
♦ Finally, I am still hoping that some court somewhere can put the kibosh on the FCC’s decision to allow the federal government to regulate the internet. Not since the voters decided to give nObama an additional four years in which to destroy America has there been a more catastrophic brain freeze.
Putting the federal bureaucrats in charge of the internet is like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop or the bull in charge of the china shop.
