'They Watched Them Die' : Father of SEAL Killed in Benghazi Attacks: White House 'Watched This Battle Happen'
Via avordvet
The father of Ty Woods, a Navy SEAL
who was killed in the September 11, 2012 terror attacks on the U.S.
Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, is speaking out on the latest revelations
on the alleged White House cover-up in the wake of the tragedy.
"The people of the United States as well as the families need to know what actually happened," Charles Woods told Sean Hannity. He called the select congressional committee "an answer to prayer."
Charles Woods called the newly released emails a "smoking gun," and said that a failure in the Obama administration's foreign policy directly led to the death of his son and three other Americans.
Woods told Hannity he believed he'd been lied to repeatedly. "Hillary Clinton came up to me and I gave her a handshake and a hug, and when I shook her hand she said to me, 'We are going to have the filmmaker arrested.' Even at that time she was trying to place a spin on what happened."
"It wasn't the result of a video," Woods said.

12.3%: ‘Total Unemployed’ Rate in USA
While the national unemployment rate declined from 6.7% in March to 6.3% in April, the rate for total unemployed workers in America, what the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calls the U-6 Measure, was 12.3% in April.
That 12.3% rate refers to “total unemployed,” says the BLS, and this includes the unemployed “plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force.”

Republican calls out reporter, gets kicked out the door
An Oregan Republican candidate for U.S. Senate is getting a lot of valuable free name recognition after a video of his highly unsuccessful endorsement interview with a Portland alternative newspaper has gone viral.
Mark Callahan recently joined other Senate candidates, hoping to win the chance to unseat Democrat incumbent Jeff Merkley, at the offices of the Willamette Week to, in the paper’s words, “explore questions that we think matter most to our readers.”
Oregon’s primary election is May 20.
As one of Callahan’s opponents, Republican Joe Rae Perkins – who was not present at the meeting but responding to questions by speaker phone – was answering a question, Callahan noticed a Willamette Weekly reporter, Nigel Jaquiss, writing “blah blah blah blah blah” on his notepad, and he confronted Jaquiss.
“You want to talk about disrespect? I see what you’re writing down there. You just wrote down ‘blah blah blah blah blah’ for everything that Joe Rae said. Joe Rae is a respectable woman. Why are you not respecting her by writing ‘blah blah blah blah blah’ on your notepad?” said an agitated Callahan, pointing his finger across the table.

North Korea Testing Engine for ICBM That Could Reach US
North Korea has recently conducted engine tests for an intercontinental ballistic missile that could potentially deliver a nuclear warhead to the United States, a U.S. think tank said on Friday.
North Korea conducted at least one engine test for the KN-08 missile in late March or early April, the think tank 38 North said, marking the latest in a series of tests for a missile believed to have a range of more than 6,000 miles.
Following the engine tests, the next stage for North Korea would be a test launch of the missile, according to 38 North, which is affiliated with Johns Hopkins University's U.S.-Korea Institute.
"As this effort progresses, the next technically logical step in the missile's development would be a flight test of the entire system," 38 North said in its report.
Commercial satellite imagery indicates movement and removal of missile stages and fuel tanks as well as changes in the flame trench that point to North Korea having conducted one or more tests in the two-week period from March 22, the report said.
South Korea's defense ministry declined to confirm the specifics of the report citing intelligence policy but said a long-range missile launch by the North could not be ruled out.
"It's not easy to conduct a long-range rocket launch right after a engine test but they may have had other things prepared," ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said.

KSP will not investigate fatal officer-involved shooting request by Sheriff's Department
Via Jeffery
Family and friends of 19-year-old Samantha Ramsey are overcome with grief — and demanding answers — after a cop fired four shots into a car the teen was driving. Ramsey was struck by one of the bullets and died on scene.
Dashcam footage shows the encounter seconds before Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Brockman fired four shots into a car full of teenagers. Brockman was standing on the highway in front of his vehicle as Ramsey slowly pulled her vehicle in front of him. He shined his flashlight into her face and appeared to signal her to stop the car, but she continues moving the vehicle out of dashcam view. Seconds later, Brockman fired four shots, causing the car to careen into a ditch, according to Fox 19.
Two passengers exited the vehicle. The driver, Ramsey, had been shot. She was taken away in an ambulance, but had died on scene, according to The Huffington Post.

Virginia Flaggers VMFA Update 5-1-2014
Like it has been for many of you, April has been an INCREDIBLY busy month for
the Va Flaggers. In spite of attending numerous Memorial Service and
Confederate History and Heritage Month activities, the Va Flaggers actually
STEPPED UP our flaggings at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, flagging THREE
times a week in most of the weeks in April.
The
milder weather has brought out plenty of foot traffic and lots of new
opportunities to educate residents, tourists, and museum visitors.

Bunkerville residents sound off about BLM, police, media
Via Susan
An emotional crowd gathered for a town hall meeting on Thursday evening in Bunkerville.
embers praised militia members gathered there in support of embattled rancher Cliven Bundy, but had nothing but vitriol for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie and the local and national media
.
"The day the militia [came] was the day I felt safe again in Nevada," one meeting attendee said.
The meeting was standing-room only. City council members had harsh criticism for the media's take on the standoff between Bundy and the BLM.
"I heard things said down there. And then when it came out on the air it was a completely different animal," Bunkerville Councilman Duane Magoon said.
"Tell the whole truth. Don't spin things to get your ratings," another council member added.
One council member criticized Gillespie, saying he's been AWOL in Bunkerville.
"I'm really disappointed in our sheriff for not being out here to protect the citizens who are out here," he said.
One after another, Bunkerville residents criticized the BLM, calling it an example of overreaching government.

Moms Demand Action: Or instant movement, just add crisis
Via The Feral Irishman
One of the first places any investigator starts with is a timeline.
Starting at the event and moving either forward or back through time
depending on what you are investigating. The Tragedy at Newtown
Happened at 9am on Friday December 14. Let us begin there:
Zero Day, Friday Dec 14
Dated
Moms Demand Action. What a neat story. Suburban stay at
home Mom Shannon Watts sees the horrific acts of the Shootings in
Newtown Ct. The Next day, she is so moved by the tragedy she runs out of
her yoga instructor class (tears streaming down her face no doubt) and
goes home and starts a Facebook page at her kitchen table to “vent her
frustration” and before she knows what happened, it’s a national
organization, born of a groundswell of grassroots support from angry
moms all of the country. It just goes to show the power one average
American has to lift their voice and be heard in the nation’s capital
over the din of the all-powerful gun lobby
What a romantic notion. Too bad it is 100% crap. There is
no way this group could have grown as fast as it did and garnered as
much media attention as it did without a great deal of pre-planning,and a
team of professional people working full time to make it happen. This
is Astroturf at its finest.
Zero Day, Friday Dec 14
