GOPTHEDAILYDOSE.COM 12 Hours Ago Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior by  Dan Calabrese by Dan Calabrese Bet you didn't know this. I've decided to reprint a piece of work I did nearly five years ago, because it seems very relevant today given Hillary Clinton's performance in the Benghazi hearings. Back in 2008 when she was running for president, I interviewed two erstwhile staff members of the House Judiciary Committee who were involved with the Watergate investigation when Hillary was a low-level staffer there. I interviewed one Democrat staffer and one Republican staffer, and wrote two pieces based on what they told me about Hillary's conduct at the time. I published these pieces back in 2008 for North Star Writers Group, the syndicate I ran at the time. This was the most widely read piece we ever had at NSWG, but because NSWG never gained the high-profile status of the major syndicates, this piece still didn't reach as many people as I thought it d...

 BEFOREITS NEWS 11 Hours Ago The Best Benghazi Explanation Yet Seen From A Retired US Navy Captain (Before It's News) The following story below just came in to Beforeitsnews via email; we felt it best to republish in its entirety and unedited. This is from a retired US Navy Captain.  From a retired Navy Captain who lives in Hawaii: CBA (Cross Border Authority) The Benghazi debacle boils down to a single key factor – the granting or withholding of "cross-border authority." This opinion is informed by my experience as a Navy SEAL officer who took a NavSpecWar Detachment to Beirut. Once the alarm is sent – in this case, from the consulate in Benghazi – dozens of HQs are notified and are in the planning loop in real time, including AFRICOM and EUCOM, both located in Germany. Without waiting for specific orders from Washington, they begin planning and executing rescue operations, including moving personnel, ships, and aircraft forward toward the location of the crisis. However...

 PJMEDIA.COM 8 Hours Ago the Secret Kind, Though by  Bridget Johnson The House Intelligence Committee held its eighth hearing on the Benghazi attacks — behind closed doors, naturally. Deputy Director of the FBI Sean Joyce, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Matt Olsen, and other senior intelligence officials testified today on the status of the investigation to find and bring to justice those responsible for the attacks that killed four American citizens last September, according to the committee. "The fact that nine months after the horrific attacks on the U.S. facilities in Benghazi, there has still been no one brought to justice is frustrating and disheartening. The world is watching and terrorists are emboldened by our inability to bring those responsible to justice," Rogers said. "We must push forward even more aggressively to hold those responsible accountable and bring them to justice swiftly." Rogers made no reference to CIA Deputy Director Mik...

 NRAILA.ORG 11 Hours Ago Mississippi: Attorney General Releases Draft Opinion on 2013 Legislative Changes to Mississippi's Carry Statutes Upholds key components of legislation but allows for certain restrictions on where unconcealed firearms may be carried As recently reported , the State Legislature passed and Governor Phil Bryant (R) signed into law several pro-Second Amendment bills this session, including  House Bill 2 by state Representative Andy Gipson (R-Braxton) and state Senator Giles Ward (R-Louisville).  This new law makes critical changes to the state's gun carry laws.  A July 2012 opinion issued by state Attorney General Jim Hood (D) determined that it was unlawful under existing statutes for anyone to a carry holstered, partially-visible pistol on their person.  Additionally, any concealed carry permit holder who temporarily or accidentally displayed their firearm when removing or adjusting a suit or sport jacket would be violating the law....

 NRAILA.ORG 9 Hours Ago Vol. 20, No.  24 06/14/2013 This week, we stumbled upon The Way of the Gun: Estimating Firearms Traffic Across the U.S.-Mexico Border, one of the strangest and most half-asked gun control-related "studies" to come down the sendero in a long time. It contends that a quarter of a million firearms are smuggled from the U.S. to Mexico annually--a figure far in excess of estimates offered by the BATFE, the GAO, and Mexican law enforcement officials--and that 47 percent of firearm dealers in the U.S. would go out of business if they were unable to sell guns intended to be smuggled across the border. And, it proposes several actions for our federal or state governments to take, without explaining why. First, the study--and in this instance we're using the term as loosely as the English language will allow--says that laws on our side of the border should require public disclosure of local gun purchase statistics. But in any jurisdiction, all or almost all ...

 NRAILA.ORG 4 Hours Ago When "Zero-Tolerance" Makes "Zero-Sense" We've been reporting  very  regularly on ridiculous cases involving over-zealous school officials misinterpreting and wrongly enforcing "zero-tolerance" rules. In March, we  reported  on an outrageous case of a seven-year-old Baltimore, Md. student who, according to a March 2,  Daily Caller article , was suspended for two days for the nefarious act of shaping a breakfast pastry into what his teacher thought looked like a gun.  Yes, a breakfast pastry. According to the young student, he was eating the strawberry pastry during snack time and was biting off pieces in an attempt to shape it into a mountain.  Apparently, the teacher thought the student's handiwork instead looked like a gun, and escorted him to the principal's office for prompt disciplinary action.  In a recent follow-up story, the  Daily Caller reported  on more bad news for the young victim of over-zealous...

 NRAILA.ORG 13 Hours Ago New Jersey: Sweeney FID Bill Scheduled for "Re-Do" in New Assembly Committee on Monday After an unusual and embarrassing series of events transpired in the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee last week, Democrat Leadership simply stopped a failing roll call vote in progress, pulled the bill from committee and assigned it to another committee where the outcome is most likely pre-determined.  This disgraceful attack on gun owners demonstrates just how ruthless and desperate anti-gun lawmakers are in the Garden State.  Completely ignoring overwhelming public testimony against these anti-gun proposals over months of public hearings, lawmakers have now perpetrated the ultimate snub.  NRA members should be outraged and contact Assembly Budget Committee members to voice strong opposition to the centerpiece gun control bill scheduled for a hearing on Monday morning. S2723 / A4182 , sponsored by state Senator Stephen Sweeney (D-3), is now schedul...
