should be considered a terrorist group, that prepping for natural disaster(in tornado season like they'd said people should, yet!) should be considered suspicious and so on?
Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano repeatedly misled lawmakers about one of her department’s signature initiatives, the special centers where state and local police share information about terrorism with their federal counterparts, a key lawmaker who helped author a damning report on the project said in an interview Thursday.
A bipartisan report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations states that Ms. Napolitano and her department failed to report to Congress serious problems with the so-called “fusion center” program.
“She was not straightforward to the committee about what she actually knew at the time and what had been documented by [the department’s] own look at the problem,” the subcommittee’s senior Republican, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, told The Washington Times on Thursday.
What? Napolitano & Co. lied? And covered-up? Who could have imagined such a thing?
Mr. Coburn said the department had deliberately stonewalled the subcommittee’s oversight function.
Department officials “threw up roadblocks in every area. They didn’t want this
report to come out because they knew how bad it was,” he said.
But don't worry, Homeland Security spokesman Matthew Chandler dismissed the report as “out of date, inaccurate and misleading.”
Of COURSE it is, has to be, right?
About all those non-union people connected to GM who were screwed out of their pensions? Yeah, Obama was connected to that being done. Anybody surprised?
A lot of people have talked about how bloody awful Obama was in the debate; I wasn't surprised by what I read, for two reasons:
A: Had you ever listened to any of the recordings of him when he went off teleprompter? Unless he was in a audience of total supporters(and sometimes even then), he's awful; stuttering, hesitating, "Uh, ah, uh," on and on. Someone would talk about how wonderful a speaker he is, I'd mention those, and they'd either ignore it or dismiss those as 'cherry-picking'. Well, in a way they were: they were the ones the major media never played if they could avoid it; they didn't fit the image of Obama as The Great Orator. So a lot of people had either never heard those, or- if they heard about it- dismissed. So when he did it in the debate...
B: Like everyone pointed out, with very few exceptions the media hasn't actually challenged him on anything for years: they've insulted/dismissed/slandered anyone who did, they've carried his water, so he flat was not prepared- maybe could not imagine anyone daring to- for being hit hard. It showed.
Obama's not stupid. Arrogant as the devil himself, insulated, yes. I'd imagine he'll be a lot better in the next one. I'd guess the big thing for Romney is to keep not letting him lie and get away with it; challenge him on it when he lies, when he throws out fake numbers.
New Jersey: where the facts and truth don't mean squat.
On the That was upsetting post a few days back, yesterday afternoon I went through that .45 brass; either the case the little piece of brass came from wasn't picked up the day it was fired, or that's not where it came from; none of the primers showed any bits missing. So that mystery continues. I did fire that pistol again Wednesday, no problems.
