Three Obama People Have Pleaded 'Fifth' - Most Since the Fifties(?)

...When assistant secretary of  the Department of Veterans Affairs' John Podesta told House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa that “It’s a privilege to remain silent, sir' late October, 2013 it market the third time one of Obama's people had gone silent in testimony.
In June, Greg Rosemen, a deputy director at the IRS, refused to talk about his role in awarding contracts worth up to $500 million to a company owned by a friend whose business received veteran set-aside contract status based on a decades-old football injury.
A month earlier, Lois Lerner, former head of the IRS tax exempt division, declined to discuss the IRS scrutinizing nonprofit applications from tea party and other conservative groups.
None of these people  were fired to the best of our knowledge or penalized. Lerner was recently dismissed from any charges after being investigated on alleged email corruption.
 ...It is likely the first time since the  1950s that we've so many Government officials 'Plead the Fifth' .....In the most famous indictment of a high political figure, President Richard Nixon for forced to resign office for erasing 15 minutes of tapes;contrast that to Hillary Clinton today erasing some 60,000 emails and probably getting away scot  free  as she runs as leading Democratic candicate for President. Times have changed...

Obama's New Politically-Correct Label for Juvenile Delinguents

New Speaker Paul Ryan Keeps 'Refreshing' Distance from Pelosi

Refreshing to See new Speaker Paul Ryan NOT fawning all over Dem leader Nancy Pelosi like his predecessor  when she handed the gavel over to Ryan last week. Note how Ryan kept a good distance from Pelosi as she reaches out to him (waiting for a hug?)  We saw a little too much  of  'bed fellows' in former speaker John Boener smooching  Pelosi.  Yuk!Click here to subscribe to mailing list

Where Is Gerorge (Stephanopolous That Is)- Left-wing 'News' Host?

They should call it the Martha Raddatz show

Anyone notice that George Stephanopolous seems to be gone more than he's there hosting his own show, This Week, Sunday mornings on ABC?  ...Perhaps they should call it George Stephanopolous' This Week featuring Martha Raddatz, who seems to be  hosting the program more often than George....Actually, George has been a little better since he was castigated a few months back for not disclosing his contribution to the Clinton Fund ( Some hutzbpah for a 'news' guy, huh?... Just thinking that, after the CNBC debates and those obvious 'leftist'  host how the news has changed. These Sunday morning 'news' shows should probably be called 'News and Commentary'  to be more accurate... They fill their panels with a preponderance of like-minded thinkers to the host, rather than balancing them evenly, e.g.two and two,  as was the natural procedure at one time. No wonder a George Will left the show, being outnumbered three -to-one. Now, not sure there's even a single right-leaning pundit on the 'This Week' panel to balance all the lefties...Also, ever notice how many previous Clinton folks have gone into the media, besides George himself? Dee Dee Myers and Axelrod, who was more Obama's guy,  quickly come to mind but there are Paul Begala and others who are  seen frequently on the talk shows...No wonder the broadcast media seems more and more in the pockets of the Democrats.  But, it's especially bad when a known  lefty hosts his own purported 'news' show, like Stephanopolous. MSNBC even hired the most blatant leftist voice of all, Al Sharpton, as one of its hosts; at least that one is billed more as 'commentary

CNBC Debate Exec Steel Was Close Clinton, Democratic Aide with Multiple Ties

The CNBC executive on site at the Republican debate hosted by CNBC last month was a guy named Brian Steel. What is so special about Steel?, according to Red State

Brian Steel worked in Bill Clinton’s White House as a domestic policy adviser to Vice President Al Gore.

Brian Steel worked in Bill Clinton’s White House as a domestic policy adviser to Vice President Al Gore.
His White House gig was  one of three jobs that he held in the Clinton administration. He also worked in Clinton’s Department of Justice, where he served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Policy Development, and also worked as the associate director of the department’s Office of Public Affairs.

Not only was Steel a high ranking official in the Clinton administration, his wife is a 'maxed out' Hillary 2016 donor.
But that’s not the only connection Steel has to the Clintons. Steel is married to Eileen Libutti, who is amanaging partner at New York City law firm Lewis Johs Avallone Aviles LLP. Libutti has donated $2,700 — the maximum contribution — to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.  
In further checking, TV Newser reported that Steel had announced his impending resignation as PR executive aftere eight years at CBNC but gave no indication when the change would take place, obviously it would be after the Debate, at which he was, reported, present.

'Americans Eventually Gets Things Right...' - Churchilll via Ted Koppell ('Lights Out') Cyber Attack Warning

'Americans eventually gets things right,' said Winston Churchill, but only  'after they exhaust every other possibility  trying.'  Ted Koppel reminded us of this notable quotable on the Ronn Owens (KGO) radio show while discussing his new book, 'Lights Out,'which tells of the United States' ill preparation for  a cyper attack that could criple large areas of America's power grid. In Koppel's interviews with 60 people closely connected with America's Homeland security, many admitted that a well-planned cyber attack could wreck havoc on large sections of America's power grid for large durations of time. As one of those interviewed told Koppel, America is a reactive society rather than a pro-active one.
