The SUSAN RICE and JUG EARS VON CHICAGO HACK .....Benghazi LIE is starting to congeal, like a pool of blood starts to clot.
Here is the LIE. CLAPPTARD, redacted info about Ansar al sharia/Al Qaeda for SECURITY PURPOSES. He was just trying HELP. And Obama sent out Susan HACKTARD Rice to tell the story that Obama was LYING ABOUT, without ANY KNOWLEDGE of CLAPPERS (totally lie-o-riffic) intervention.
Sorry friends, Does not pass the smell test. I would rip these motherfuckers to shreds in a DEPOSITION.

Questions of a kind the press does not know how to ask:

"Gloria, do you think that because of your entry into the case, and your calling an immediate press conference, many more people will come to know that the judge in the custody case awarded custody to your client's husband, finding that your client was 'unstable' and 'lacking a moral compass?'"

"To this point, how have you served your client's interests?"

[Gus]

Oh Dear Danube. Do you mean that the "unstable and lacking morality" ruling, will not NOW be brought to the ENTIRE PUBLICS attention!!!

Gloria Alred uses women, more than Bill Clinton did. Then discards them.

[RichatUF]

Thanks Gus, I'm here to entertain.

Not sure how much the Thanksgiving news dump that Clapper's office edited the talking points will make a difference. Recall that during the 90's our embassies were bombed, an airbase in KSA was bombed, and the USS Cole was bombed (all during a low level war with Iraq). Since the NASDAQ was rallying to 5000, hardly anyone cared.

[RichatUF]

Didn't Gloria use Nikki, the unfortunate Whitman housecleaner, to "good" affect. Unbelievable that Meg could dump a cool $120 million into her campaign and lose to the 60's retread, Gov. Moonbeam.

[Gus]

Rich, when the Cole was bombed, did the administration watch it for 7 hours in real time, then LIE and CONSPIRE to cover it up?

[RichatUF]

The administration was not cooperative during most of the investigations and really didn't want answers (hence "the wall" and "bring them to justice"). They wanted the stories off the front page and terrorism far away.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Several Thanksgivings ago my mom took her children, spouses, and grandchildren to NYC for the parade. Stayed in the Times Square area.

She was horrified later to learn that my nieces and siblings just watched the parade on TV in the room. Not us. Red, the Diva, and I with my parents watched it all from in front of the Starbucks on 7th.

Later we went to see the Christmas show at Radio City which was very fun. Surprisingly so.

Oh, and the girls and I went to see the balloons at the Natural History museum Wednesday night. What a hoot.

So I better go read now. Watching the parade in person has done nothing to discourage watching the parade by TV since.

Happy Thanksgiving to All.

[centralcal]

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving Day.

I am on ham duty today, so my job is easy peasy - don't have to brine it or stuff it. The turkey and all the other fixin's are being done by my daughter and her hubby. Yay!

[henry]

Happy Thanksgiving! A good day to watch football.

[Jack is Back!]

CC,

You should have written your last comment in an Indian (Hindu) accent since it was 711th so far.

Happy Turkey Day.

Not so sure how the brahmans in Brookline are feeling about Turkeys this year. Seems they have a criminal element amongst them.

Happy Thanksgiving to all in JOMLand!

Happy Thanksgiving all!!!

Extraneus, I loved your 9:59 post yesterday.

We should stop fighting their so-called ideas and stick to fighting their lying and sleazy schemes and candidates. That's what's beating us, not their ideas.

And the Bill Whittle video that Jim Ryan linked is great.
I tell ya, we SO need a man that is confident & strong right now. A bully for truth. I'm starved for it. A Rumsfeld, Joe 'you lie' Wilson, a bit of Newt,...

[Janet]

Bill Whittle speech link again.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

[James D.]

So it's official: Jesse Jackson Jr. has resigned. Wonder if he got his pension deal?

I wonder if, since he and his campaign and family and the Dems clearly knew he would be unable to serve, they could be stuck with the bill for all the costs of his sham election two weeks ago, and the costs for the special election that will have to be held to replace him?

Ha, ha. Funny, I know.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

James, I wonder how his vacated seat gets filled.

Does the Governor get to sell it, or is there some other system?

Our Thanksgiving editorial. Thanks for the Eeyore/Pollyanna reference I "borrowed."

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Each of us has something to be thankful for.

Wherever and whenever people find themselves, they are better equipped to move mountains than almost all the rest of the matter in the universe that simply careens across space and time unaware and uninterested in what is going to happen next.

Individuals are equipped to learn ever more about what is happening around them. They can develop the skill to check and recheck what they think and why. They can project the consequences of various actions into the future and discard the silly ones. They can think, move, and laugh.

Along the way, individuals needn’t be either Eeyores or Pollyannas.

The world is what it is, and our job is to make the best of it. We can’t manufacture rights that don’t exist in Mother Nature. Instead, let’s each of us undertake responsibility for doing the best we can.

Each of us may shine for only a brief moment in time, but while we do, we can play the cards we have been dealt to the best of our ability. Joy comes from creating splendor just because we can.

Yes, each of us has something to be thankful for. On our part, we are thankful for you.

Happy Thanksgiving to JOM and thank you for being here.

[Janet]

Really, really interesting post about the Richard Windsor email account at EPA.

Federal agencies just taking marching orders from leftist organizations. The MFM do too.

[Old Lurker]

Happy Thanksgiving folks.

A little something I took from Twitter. Food for thought:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Glorious day on the Front Range yesterday. What a country. Bought a100# of liquor at AJacks and a 100# of ammo at the Firing Line. The ammo is my hedge fund for when the SHTF. It will be worth its weight in gold. ;)

While commiserating with DIL about the mess we are in, she offered that all those single mothers we are not reaching have only one source for all that they know: the hags on the View. How the hell do you counter that?

[Extraneus]

Yeah, Janet. Remember the Miguel Estrada memo?

“[The groups] also identified Miguel Estrada (D.C. Circuit) as especially dangerous, because he has a minimal paper trail, he is Latino and the White House seems to be grooming him for a Supreme Court appointment. They want to hold Estrada off as long as possible.”

(Staff Memo “Re: Meeting with Civil Rights Leaders Yesterday to Discuss Judges,” Sent to Senator Dick Durbin (D, IL), November 7, 2001).

Always loved that "he is Latino" part.

[narciso]

No, kidding, central, LOL, there was a whole lot of craziness over there;

"Another site gives SNAP recruiters tips on how to “overcome the word ‘no’” when seeking to sign up new recipients..."

Is this a joke?
"Are there no Democrats with virtue who will decry this madness?"

Why aren't the people who are promoting this in jail? How can it be legal to take things you are not entitled to have?

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

So EPA Jackson says - The name came from that of a family dog when Jackson lived in East Windsor Township, N.J., an EPA official said Tuesday.

Problem is there was a real Richard Windsor - "Richard Windsor was a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enforcement attorney who, in 1997, began working for Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). In an article announcing Windsor's new job staffing a PEER sponsored environmental hotline,..." He was tied into Browning (from the Clinton Admin.....who apparently had some erasing computer info problems of her own! What a pack of sketchy liars!

I am totally down basic, being gigantic wouldn't be enough of an attention getter already, make these red using a yellow indy!!

Looks like sacburberryecharpe is blown away into incoherence from my EPA post.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I thank Providence every day for our great county, our host and you all. xoxo from South Florida - enjoy!

[clarice]

happy Thanksgiving.

[Danube of Thought on IPad]

Have a wonderful holiday, all. My favorite: lots of family, no tree, no presents.

Forty-ninth anniversary of the CIA/Military-Industrial-Complex hit on JFK.

[Porchlight]

Country not county. :)

[Jack is Back!]

So were is everyone today?

I see Porch has given up South Texas for South Florida and Clarice must be on the Left Coast with the Wolverine. No travel for us. Staying put and letting the club do our cooking for us. Early Turkey meal at 1:00 with one of Frederick's school friend's family (the Russian lady I mentioned who could not believe she left socialism for the USA and is now back where she started from).

Meanwhile in Denmark the smell keeps getting more odious.

[Janet]

Thanks for that Estrada link, Extraneus.

[Captain Hate]

I'm stuck in Cleveland since Detroit was fogged in and they couldn't hold our connecting flight to San Fran. So right now I'm not feeling particularly thankful about that; nor how fly off the handle Mrs H gets at times like this. I was perfectly happy to fly to Detroit late and then, if they couldn't find a way to get us out there quickly, have them put us up for the night.

Anyway, happy Thanksgiving to those of you having a more normal day.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Sorry you're stuck Captain.
Just got done with a storm out here and the forecasts say we should have good weather til Dec 1st, so it should be OK once you make it.
Hope Mrs. H gets back on the handle soon.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

[Danube of Thought]

Second prize is two nights in Detroit.

[Janet]

You & Mrs. Hate can divert to DC & come on over for a Thanksgiving dinner...we've got plenty!

We had a group of 11 over last night...so today is just baking the Turkey & some sweet potatoes. Left overs for everything else....but there is quite a bit.

OT - My daughter's boyfriend is gonna be on Fox tonight at 10 (Greta's show), in a pre-taped segment on the Estate tax & farms. Look for Scott. Naomi is spending Thanksgiving with his family today.

Beautiful day here in Northern Virginia....

[peter]

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in JOM land.

[Stephanie]

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

[Janet]

Wouldn't it be great if the WaPo showed an interest in those EPA emails....like they did with Sarah Palin's emails? They asked readers to help find something on Palin. Will they do that with Jackson? Will they demand copies of the emails & then post them online?

[Jane on IPad]

Merry Thanksgiving from NH.

Hope you get out soon Capt.

[caro]

Bill Whittle. Brilliant. We need more like him. He should have been Romney's speech writer.

My son and dil are cooking today and I am only providing the cranberries. And peas. Pea add color to the plate. We will be eating in Old Town, Park City.

Happy Thanksgiving and blessings to all at JOM.
