Benghazi The Fault of Republican Underfunding: Sister of Ambassador Stevens

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/29/politics/stevens-family-clinton-benghazi-interview/index.html
snip:
The sister of the U.S. ambassador to Libya killed in Benghazi said she doesn't blame Hillary Clinton for Chris Stevens' death, instead pointing to Congress for under-budgeting the State Department.

"I do not blame Hillary Clinton or Leon Panetta (for Stevens' death). They were balancing security efforts at embassies and missions around the world," Dr. Anne Stevens, who has acted as a spokesperson for the family, said in an interview with the New Yorker published Tuesday.

"But what was the underlying cause? Perhaps if Congress had provided a budget to increase security for all missions around the world, then some of the requests for more security in Libya would have been granted. Certainly the State Department is underbudgeted," she added. "I would love to hear they are drastically increasing the budget."
Her comments will probably not be heard on Faux News or anywhere in the Reich Wing noise machine.

Tax Debate Over: Progressives Won

http://crooksandliars.com/2016/06/tax-debate-over-and-progressives-won
snip:
The Washington Post recently highlighted the economic divergence between California and Kansas. California is tied, with Oregon, for the fastest growth in the nation with 4.1 percent gross domestic product growth in 2015. Kansas was flat, at 0.2 percent, and the second half of the year recorded negative growth, placing the state in recession. Only West Virginia, Alaska and North Dakota performed worse.
The Reich Wing will respond by saying their state's poor growth rate was because of the ACA, or Benghazi, or Ebola, or Zika.

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) is scheduled to show up to serve his 15-month federal prison sentence today for a hush money case related to decades-old allegations of sexual abuse.
Well, at least with him in prison there's one less sexual abuser vote for tRumpt.

Reich Wing Refuse to Hold Official Hearings on Rethug Occupation of Federal Land

http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2016/06/18/3790115/congress-held-public-lands-extremism-hearing-finally/
snip:
The fact that this was an informal forum and not a full bi-partisan committee hearing did not go unnoticed. Panelists and members of Congress alike expressed disappointment in the issue’s lack of bipartisan attention.
“It’s a shame that this isn’t an official hearing of the Natural Resources Committee because this is a very serious problem as it relates to our federal lands, our federal law enforcement, but also to the safety and security of the nation,” said Representative DeFazio of Oregon. “Homeland [Security Committee] should also be holding hearings on this threat of domestic terrorism, but they’re not.”
In addition to sweeping the issue under the rug, committee members blamed the rhetoric and actions of Rob Bishop and other anti-park politicians for fanning the flames of these anti-government extremists.

Democrats make do with informal forum because the Reich Wing is too busy wasting money on Benghazi's Hannity witness to investigate homegrown terrorists.

Trump Planning to Meet with 400 Homophobic Evangelical Leaders a Week After Claiming to Be 'Friend'

of LGBT community.

This coming Tuesday, June 21, the Trump campaign will hold will host its highest-profileevent thus far to court evangelicals; "a private meeting with over 400 of the most bigoted, most homophobic and most influential anti-LGBTadvocates in the United States — from Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins to James Dobson, founder of the Focus on the Family — the bedrock of the religious right, which has been a prominent part of the base of the Republican Party for decades," the Huffington Post reported.

Drumpt will continue to get away with his bold face lies until the media decides to hold him accountable. Unlikely, because he makes them too much money in add revenues.
