Graham: I Will Block All Obama Nominees Until Congress Hears Testimony From Benghazi Survivors

 

 Well, at least he got this right.

More than a year has gone by since four Americans were killed in the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, and despite all the Capitol Hill hearings, Sen. Lindsey Graham isn’t satisfied with the information lawmakers have received. Thus, on Fox News Sunday, Graham again stated that he will continue blocking all of Obama’s nominees for executive branch positions until Congress hears from those on the ground during the attack.

“I shouldn’t have to do this—to make these threats,” he said. But until survivors are made available to Congress, he will.

“I don’t think it’s over the top to find out what happened to four dead Americans,” he said. “I don’t think it’s over the top to talk to survivors. The State Department interviewed these survivors.”

Dickens' London brought to life: Fascinating snapshot of Victorian street traders taken at the dawn of photography

Via WiscoDave

• The hard-hitting collection of London life in 1877 was taken by photography pioneer John Thomson
• Was one of the first photo projects to focus on working-class people and not the aristocracy or landscapes They are images of devastating poverty and life on London's streets that look like they come straight from the pages of a Charles Dickens book. 
  
  The collection, taken by pioneering photojournalist John Thomson in 1877, show what life was really like for thousands of Londoners in Victorian Britain. 
  
  Unlike most pictures taken at the time, they show the daily grind and backbreaking work undertaken by the capital's working-classes.

Famous comic flays Obama as lying 'maniac': 'If he wasn't the president, he'd be in jail or in a sanitarium'

Legendary comedian Jackie Mason has uncorked a full-blown assault on President Obama and his troubled attempt at providing health care for Americans.

“It’s such a ridiculous thing. The whole country’s walking around wondering if this guy’s really the president of a country. He sounds more like a maniac in an asylum,” Mason said in a radio interview Sunday night.

“He’s saying things that nobody believes. He was always lying every day of his life. Every time he talks it was a lie. The only time he tells the truth is when you didn’t hear from him.”

“This is becoming so ridiculous, that even the biggest liar can’t top himself,” Mason, 76, told host Aaron Klein on WABC in New York City. “He looks at you straight in the face, and tells you that if you want your plan, you got your plan, you keep your plan. Now, a month-and-a-half later, you got no plan, you lost your plan, and he tells you you still got a plan.”

Venezuela seizes US-owned oil rigs in dispute over unpaid bills

 

Venezuela has quietly seized control of two oil rigs owned by a unit of Houston-based Superior Energy Services after the company shut them down because the state oil monopoly was months behind on payments.

The seizure took place Thursday after a judge in the state of Anzoategui, accompanied by four members of the local police and national guard, entered a Superior depot and ordered it to hand over control of two specialized rigs to an affiliate of PDVSA, the state-owned oil producer.

Henry Arms Survival Kit

Via Oleg Volk

 

 Some things you keep handy just in case something unexpected happens. What if multiple friends show up unexpectedly for a spontaneous pool party at your house? You don't want to break out the china, crystal, or silver. Just give them the tools to not look like a bunch of drunken Neanderthals squatting over the kill: Dixie cups, paper plates, napkins, and plastic flatware. Give them items that are useful, cheap, disposable, lightweight, and don't take up much room.

That is a simple analogy for a short term, simple survival kit.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn And The Collectivist Killer Archetype

Via Peter

 

From one of the authors of A Failure Of Civility:

Read the words attributed last year to perhaps the most important and influential person in President Obama’s life. She’s been a mentor to Obama and his wife for years. No decision is made by Obama without it first being approved by Valerie Jarrett…

“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.”
- Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Barack Hussein Obama

The above words come from a woman who is most likely “the power behind the throne” in the Obama administration. Obama makes no move without her approval. She’s a committed communist and a very intelligent, angry and vindictive woman. 

You need to understand what is in store for you if you are an American who believes in our Founding Father’s Constitution, gun rights, individual liberties and freedom… and if America is totally lost to the control of people like Jarrett who will push to disarm us violently if necessary.

For those who haven’t read Matt Bracken’s essay and watched the video:

‘Democide: Socialism, Tyranny, Guns and Freedom’

…Concerned American has posted it again… read Matt’s essay and watch his video.

It’s critical to know what’s at stake besides just our ideals…

The authorities of many ideologies have employed brutal killers to deal with their ‘competition’ and opposition. But the following is an example of a particularly cold and calculating collectivist killer who orchestrated the mass murder shown in Matt Bracken’s video. Matt Bracken speaks for the souls of those Poles who can no longer speak for themselves. 

A look at this killer will also give you a glimpse into the mentality of Marxists, socialists, communists by whatever name you use to describe… collectivists.

NC: Police Refuse To Release Video Of Cops Shooting Unarmed Man

 Via LH

North Carolina police are refusing to release video footage and other evidence that could shed light on an unarmed man’s death at the hands of an officer.

According to Chris Chestnut, the lawyer representing the unarmed man’s family, the police department’s unwillingness to release the footage recorded by a police cruiser’s dash cam casts doubt on the integrity of an ongoing investigation.

Last month, 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell was shot and killed by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Randal Kerrick, who was responding to a late-night 911 call. Kerrick is facing voluntary manslaughter charges.

“We want the facts out in the public domain. Not part of them, all of them,” Chestnut said during a press conference on Tuesday, according to Reuters.

Police claim that the footage is not public record and won’t be released. The department has, however, released an audiotape of the 911 call  hat was made at the time. Ferrell was knocking on a door of an unknown household, and the audiotape reveals that the woman inside thought he was trying to break in.
