Liar liar pant suit on fire

The plot thickens. Hillary Clinton, the former secret secretary of state told the House Select Committee on Benghazi that she had turned in all pertinent emails that she kept on her unsecured server located in the bathroom closet of the Colorado company she used in direct disobedience of the law. Lucky for Hillary, she is above the law and most likely nothing will happen to her as the investigation plods along.

In fact, even if FBI Director James Comey refuses to bow to political pressure from the left, most would not be surprised to see Barack Obama pardon her with a slap on the wrist.

But as is her wont, Hillary lied again. The State Department received a bunch of emails sent between her and Gen. David Petraeus. She either forgot about them, or didn't turn them in after saying she gave the committee everything.

Hillary also lied about her claim that all work-related emails were handed over, but low and behold, 900 emails related to Libya were provided to the House Select Committee on Benghazi by the State Department.

The Petraeus and Clinton email exchanges were from January to February of 2009 and dealt with issues regarding personnel. State Department officials claim the emails were not confidential but they serve as proof that Hillary Clinton lies as easily as she breathes--and as often.

"In the last several days, the State Department received from the Department of Defense and the State Inspector General several copies of one email chain between former Secretary Clinton and then Commander of the US Central Command David Petraeus which were not previously in the possession of the Department," said John Kirby, the State Department spokesman who replaced two geniuses, Jen Psaki and Marie Harf. 

This simply adds to the growing concerns, lack of judgment, arrogance, refusal to offer a sincere apology to the American people for putting our national security at risk, and distrust of the woman who is the presidential Democratic front runner.

Hell, she even lied about not signing off on Huma Abedin's conflicting salaries while working for her and the Clinton Foundation. Huma is Hillary's personal aide and wife of Twitter aficionado, Anthony Weiner. 

I guess her lips were moving.

Jamal D. Ware, spokesman for the Select Committee on Benghazi, issued a statement on Friday:
"The State Department, which has failed to comply with multiple Benghazi Committee requests and failed to act in good faith, is now indicating it intends to foster a more cooperative relationship with the committee. It's curious the Department is suddenly able to be more productive after recent staff changes involving those responsible for document production."
 I can't wait to see if the FBI can recover any of Hillary's yoga emails and other personal correspondence on Chelsea's wedding and other "boring" stuff. I suspect it isn't at all as boring as Hillary pretends.

Will the General Betray Us

Bill Clinton had more extramarital affairs than Barack Obama attended Intelligence Committee meetings.  But Clinton didn't resign his presidency; in fact, he fought to keep his job.  David Petraeus, on the other hand, had an extramarital affair with Paula Broadwell, a woman who wrote a book about him aptly titled All In, and he resigns his post as Director of the CIA.  President Obama accepted his resignation just a mere few days before Petraeus is scheduled to testify about the mishandling of Benghazi, which resulted in the unnecessary death of American Ambassador Chris Stevens and 3 other Americans at the hands of Islamic terrorists.  Coincidence?  I don't think so.
All Bomber Jacket, No Bombs

To become Director of the CIA one must be vetted so extensively that the individual up for the post will reveal everything about himself, or have it revealed in the process.  By the time the vetting process is over, they will know everything about you--your hobbies, your childhood friends, their friends, how often your dog goes to pee, and where it does this, for example.  So to say that they just found out about this affair only three days after the election, and just a few days before testimony on Benghazi is scheduled to be heard, makes as much sense as Tom Cruise discussing his feelings about Scientology.  

But you can't blame the government.  After all, if the nation as a whole turned out and most people ended up voting for Obama, then they're gullible enough to believe anything they are told to believe just as long as it's being spun to them by the mainstream media or the Daily Show.

My wife told me this morning that she is finally getting over the election results.  She admits that she has been feeling a strong sense of gloom and doom, and I reassured her that she just has a case of them Obama blues.  We both laughed for a few seconds, then became quiet again.  It's serious what has happened, and I'm not sure what the long-term effects are going to be during this lame duck term of his.  I love America but it's in a tailspin.  Canada doesn't even want to do business with us like before because it's wiser for them to work with countries like India and China where they can get more for their products.

Yet I believe that we still will come back after the 'anointed one' is finished socializing us.  We are a strong nation with good people and maybe when he's gone off to that golf course somewhere in Illinois, we can stop hating each other on opposite sides of the aisle.  It has never been this bad in America where liberals and conservatives actually hate each other.  That's what Obama meant by 'revenge.'  How apt and how low this guy who finds himself as president is as his followers gloat from what will become a pyrrhic victory when his policies affect us all.

I find this week so very sad, but I think we have a chance to turn it around.


My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
