.. she got caught in the act , and boy , and how ..
.. when she was interview [recently] by Brianna Keilor [of CNN] , she said that she had not been subpoenaed . Well , ….
.. Rep. Trey Gowdy [R-SC] is the chair of the House Select Cmte on Benghazi . This blog post [and video clip] shows the cover letter [and the actual subpoena] that was sent to Miz Hillary , personally . So , she damn well had to have known about it . Whoops …

.. you think that Mrs Clinton would actually give a fig newton about what people think about her . The great mass of politicians do . Sometimes , though , a politician has to make a tough call against his / her constituents ‘ interests . They may not like them , at first , but they will respect them far more for making that tough call . Miz Hillary does not even seem to know the meaning of the word ..
.. Her husband [Mr. Bill] almost always did , at least on the political side of things . He is probably one the best politicians in the DemoCrap party in the last 60 years . Unfortunately , he is a rare bird . The DemoCrap moderates have become about as rare as a do – do bird . Not only that , the Dem leadership [up and down the ladder] seems to be far more interested in destroying the GOP than doing wwhat is in the country ‘ s interests …

.. evidently he is nuts ..
.. former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland [who , however , passed up on the 2014 campaign] has decided to run for the U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2016 . Given circumstances , his opponent will likely be incumbent GOPer Rob Portman …

.. [link] to the blog post …
.. contrary to Mr. Obama ‘ s antics , Ohio is a fairly Red state . It always has been , and always will be so . So , Ted Strickland running against a Republican in a Red state for a US Senate seat is , in effect , a suicide mission ..
.. maybe not quite , but close .

.. now that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in favour of the plaintiffs [in terms of the injunction] , well , now , it should motivate the Federal Government to substantially and fully comply with Judge Hanen ‘ s order ..
.. well , now , Judge Hanen is now pissed ..
.. the Government is still making approvals of both D.A.C.A. and D.A.P.A. . Even though with the injunction they were told specifically not to . They are still up to it ..

.. Judge Hanen has summoned quite a few people to a hearing in August . Those summoned include the H.H.S. Secretary and the Secretary of Homeland Security . I would not be surprised of our new AG , Loretta Lynch , were not added to the list . She would deserve it , even though it was former AG Holder ‘ s inaction that contributed to all of this …
.. they should also bring their checkbooks . The judge is threating the whole crew with civil contempt findings if they have not fully complied with the original injuction . Somehow I get the idea that a finding of criminal contempt may not be far behind …

.. I really do wonder ..
.. much of mainstream Islam is , I reallydo believe , a peaceful faith ..
.. unfortunately , there is a very , very large strain of Islam that is and has been radicalized . How large ? I do not know for sure , to be honest . But the fact is that it is there , it is radical , and it is extremely dangerous ..

.. you wonder why ?? …
.. in the GOP ‘ s case , they simply do not trust him .
.. they want him to ” step up to the plate ” and make the case for the AUMF [war declaration] . The problem is that Obama will not do it . He wants something wishy – washy , one that greatly ties the hands of a Commander – in – Chief . Real bad idea …
.. [h/t — Newsmax.com]..
.. [link] to the blog news ..
.. that is the problem . Obama is a wuss . He will not lead . He wants his own hands tied . The GOP actually does not . So , POTUS is likely not to get his AUMF unless he fights for it …

.. no , it is not the GOP ..
.. the GOP actually , for the most part , supports POTUS . It is the Dems that are against ” Fast Track . ” They acted and voted down part of the trade bill just a few days ago …
.. the Fast Track trade Authority actually passed . However , the Trade Adjustment assistance part did not . Under the House rules for the debate , both parts of the bill had to pass for the bill to be considered passed . So , it failed . The Dems were the ones that were the principal guilty parties in this caper ..

.. the problem is Congress . The Republican Caucuses in both Houses of Congress are pretty much unanimous in their opposition to any agreement at all . The linchpin is the Democratic caucus [in each House] . If POTUS can keep the Dems mostly in line , then he can save the agreement . But with this crapola , the Dems will not hold …

.. that there was indeed a ” stand down ” order . There is no doubt about it . None . So , what is next ? ..
.. one needs to determine exactly who gave the order . It could be someone in the military chain of command . So , in that case , the order would have come from a senior officer , likely one of flag rank of some type . But the order could have come from somewhere else ..

.. you would expect that Alito , Thomas , & Roberts would be solid votes to uphold Friedrichs are the likelies , Justices Kennedy and Scalia . I would also count among the possibles one of the liberals , Justice Steven Breyer ..

… then there is Tony Kennedy . He literally is SCOTUS ‘ resident ” weather vane , ” that is the swing vote in may of the cases . he may well be a swing vote , but he is still nominally a conservative . One should try to remember that . So , in this case , he is a Yes vote ..
.. in arguments , Breyer was very leery about overriding the current precedent [Abood v Detroit Bd of Ed] . It does not mean that he will not do so . In recent cases , such as Knox v C.T.A , Breyer voted with the conservatives . It is possible , especially if he is given the majority opinion to write , that Breyer will do so again …

She has the courage of her convictions , and helped lead a group of her co – workers in taking on the C.T.A in their legal battle to seek their financial freedom from the agency fees that they believe that they have been unjustly charged ..
