Obama Skips National Security Team Meeting on Russia, Ukraine

A White House official emailed some reporters to say that President Obama's team met today to discuss the ongoing situation on Ukraine. It appears President Obama did not attend. 
"The President's national security team met today to receive an update on the situation in Ukraine and discuss potential policy options. We will provide further updates later this afternoon," reads the full statement.
According to Time magazine's Zeke Miller, Obama skipped the meeting. "Obama did not attend the meeting, but WH official says he has been briefed by Susan Rice and his national security team," says Miller.

California Attorney General Kamala Harris could be the next nominee tapped for the U.S. Supreme Court, replacing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

For those familiar with the White House Insider interviews, that name will certainly ring familiar.
For those who perhaps are not quite up to speed, read the following from a related report on Kamala Harris:
-The California Attorney General is Kamala Harris.  Her brother-in-law is a  gentleman by the name of Tony West who himself is an Assistant Attorney General working directly under Obama Attorney General Eric Holder.  Insiders are already indicated West may in fact be among a short list of potential replacements should Holder resign his position.
Now Tony West was a big time campaign bundler for Barack Obama back in 2008 as was described by this San Francisco Chronicle report in 2009:
As co-chairman of Obama’s campaign, West was instrumental in helping the candidate raise an estimated $65 million in California and has been considered a rising star in both the legal and political circles of the nation’s most populous state. He is an attorney in the San Franciscooffices of Morrison & Foerster.
$65 million dollars is a lot of campaign cash – even by Obama standards.  And Mr. West also gained notoriety in 2007 as a member of the “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh’s defense team.  So we have a former Obama campaign bundler and defense attorney of a Taliban terrorist, who also happens to be the brother in law of the California Attorney General whose state just received a multi-billion dollar housing bailout – the same man who might soon find himself being placed in the position of being the next Attorney General of the United States.

Yes, Sarah Palin DID Predict Putin Would Invade Ukraine if Obama Was President

It was obvious when he was running for president that Obama would be weak on foreign policy and diminish America’s superpower status.  But now we’re actually seeing the tyrants of the world saber-rattling because of Obama’s weakness.
Sarah Palin took to Facebook yesterday to say “told ya so” after she was made fun of in 2008 for predicting that were Obama elected, Putin would invade Ukraine.
After Senator Obama’s weak response to the Russian invasion of Georgia, she said that his indecision would cost America as president.
TheBlaze reports:

“After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next,” Palin told Foreign Policy in 2008, “
As Mediaite’s Andrew Kirell points out, conservative websites and personalities are reminding people of the quote.
Palin herself took to Facebook on Friday to remind supporters of her prediction.
“Yes, I could see this one from Alaska. I’m usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did, despite my accurate prediction being derided as ‘an extremely far-fetched scenario’ by the ‘high-brow’ Foreign Policy magazine,” she wrote. “Here’s what this ‘stupid’ ‘insipid woman’ predicted back in 2008.”

Is Hillary Clinton Too Sick to Run for President?

Hillary Clinton has been a figurehead of the Democratic Party for decades. It’s hard to remember a time before she and her husband were in the national spotlight, but that makes us think: should we be concerned about her health? Being in politics is one of the most stressful careers a person can be in, and we know that Hillary does have a history of illness (most notably a concussion and blood clot with hospitalization following the end of her term as Secretary of State).
And she’s certainly been under a large amount of stress lately – a former Clinton White House official has come out saying that he can’t name any of Hillary’s accomplishments (we can’t name any either). That’s got to be a stressor. And former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has (along with so many others) recently openly blamed Hillary for the Benghazi murders.
On top of that, Mitt Romney has fired up the Republican Party for the 2016 Presidential race, urging them to go ahead and focus on fighting Hillary now. If she’s thinking about a 2016 run – and sources have pointed that way – she’s already coming under heavy fire. The combination of all these things lend truth to the rumors that she may not even be healthy enough to consider running.

BOOM: New York Times Column Admits Benghazi Cover-Up

Maureen Dowd, a New York Times columnist, published an absolutely scathing opinion piece recently about the Obama Administration’s deplorable handling of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi.
Dowd calls out the Administrations attempts to “rewrite events in order to make Hillary Clinton [...] appear to be leaving a legacy term at the State Department” as well as their unforgivable “lack of response to the attacks,” NewsMax reports.
“Obama aides wanted to promote the mythology that the president who killed Osama was vanquishing terror,” blasted the columnist. “Hillaryland,” she continued, “needed to shore up the mythology that Clinton was a stellar Secretary of State.”

NewsMax writes:

But Dowd also noted that the most critical voices, led by Karl Rove in early attack ads against Clinton, “cloud a simple truth: The administration’s behavior before and during the attack in Benghazi, in which four Americans died, was unworthy of the greatest power on earth.”
But Dowd reserves her strongest, most scornful words for the entire Obama administration, including the military and its lack of response in the eight hours the Benghazi attack spanned.
“In this hottest of hot spots, the State Department’s minimum security requirements were not met, requests for more security were rejected, and contingency plans were not drawn up, despite the portentous date of 9/11 and cascading warnings from the C.I.A.,” Dowd writes. [...]
She recounts the testimony of Stevens’s second-in-command, Gregory Hicks, who tried to help from 600 miles away in Tripoli, and who was given a “stand-down” order for four Special Forces officers in Tripoli who were ready to head to Benghazi.
She noted that Hicks was stunned when he saw the Sunday morning talk shows that weekend and saw U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice stressing the deaths were part of a protest over an anti-Muslim video than an coordinated, premeditated attack.
“All the factions wove their own mythologies at the expense of our deepest national mythology: that if there is anything, no matter how unlikely or difficult, that we can do to try to save the lives of Americans who have volunteered for dangerous assignments, we must do it,” Dowd concludes.

It is refreshing to see a legitimate, bold response come from the New York Times.
In case you missed it, several weeks ago published a six-page “investigative report” which “confirmed” that Benghazi was confirmed by a YouTube video and failed to mention Hillary Clinton’s name a single time.
Stated differently, it was full of blatant lies that even Hillary herself has rejected. This so-called report spurred a wave of backlash — and rightfully so.

WATCH: Obama & Biden Make Fools Of Themselves In Embarrassing New Video

“Let’s Move” is Michelle Obama’s initiative to help fight obesity amongst children across the nation and recently her husband and Joe Biden released a “workout video” to help commemorate its fourth anniversary, try not to laugh too hard.
They created the video in response to asking others across the nation to show them “how they move” by posting pictures and video of themselves on social media sites.
The minute long video shows the two men running around the grounds of the White House “exercising” together then they wind up back in the Oval Office. After their “run” they were sure to stretch so they didn’t cramp up and to make sure they set the proper example for anyone who actually takes the video seriously.

Western spy agencies build ‘cyber  magicians’ to manipulate online discourse

Secret units within the 'Five Eyes" global spying network engage in covert online operations that aim to invade, deceive, and control online communities and individuals through the spread of false information and use of ingenious social-science tactics.
Such teams of highly trained professionals have several main objectives, such as “to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet” and “to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable,” The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald reported based on intelligence documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
The new information comes via a document from the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG) of Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), entitled 'The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations,' which is top secret and only for dissemination within the Five Eyes intelligence partnership that includes Britain, the US, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. 

Obama Sues to Allow Illinois Muslims to Skip Work W/O Being Fired

So, according to the Obama administration, if you are a Muslim in Illinois who signed a contract to work for a company, but you find that you just don’t want to do something your boss tells you to do, why, you just don’t have to do it. Oh, and if you are fired for refusing to do the work you contracted to do, why, Obama will sue your employer for you.

This is what has happened in the Land Of Lincoln with the US Government vs the Star Transport trucking company. A couple of Muslims signed a contract to work for a trucking company, a contract that says that drivers will take any load that a company administrator assigns and will deliver that payload. Period. The terms of employment are known ahead of time among all employees.
But a couple of Muslims for Star Transport found out that their boss was going to ask them to transport a load of alcohol–a job that everyone knows the company has–and these Muslims refused to take the load because: religion.
The Obama administration is suing the trucking company for violating these Muslims’ freedom of religion because after they refused to take the load as per the contract they signed, they were properly and logically fired.
Of course, there is nothing in Islam that would prevent a Muslim from transporting alcohol. Some Muslims say that drinking alcohol violates their religious tenets, but no one was demanding they drink it and their transportation job would not be for their consumption. It is for other Americans’ consumption.

**RED ALERT** RUSSIA RE-INSTALLING NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN CUBA, As Russian Spy Ship Discovered In Havana

Now Russian spy ship sneaks into Cuba unannounced. This is highly unusual. The ship is reportedly armed with 30mm guns and anti-aircraft missiles.
Many Americans feel that Obama is deliberately trying to destroy America. His actions since he took office seem to confirm these feelings. 
Since Obama has been in office, he has seemingly done all he
can to make the southern border as unsafe as possible. He’s allowed guns to
flow unimpeded across the border with Mexico through Operation Fast and
Furious, he’s tied the hands of border patrol agents and now he’s abandoning the whole of the Southern United States to airborne attack. And he’s violating Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution in the process.
Now let’s step back and look at what Obama is doing right here at home to further render the US helpless when it comes to US defenses.
As Obama’s Federal government spends billions of dollars to expand the surveillance and monitoring of U.S. citizens with electronic eavesdropping devices and drone aircraft, it has decided to shut down a surveillance system that protects the southern border and coastline against low-flying aircraft and missiles and assists U.S. Customs and Border Protection in interdicting illegal border crossings and smuggling.

British Intelligence: Obama born in Kenya; CIA’s DNA test shows Dunhams not his grandparents

Michael Shrimpton is a British barrister (attorney), an adviser to British intelligence, and a serious person.
He also is a contributing columnist for the blog, Veterans Today. This is his biographical sketch on Veterans Today:
Shrimpton has his own blog, The Shrimpton Report. His email address is michael@mshrimpton.co.uk. And Wikipedia used to have an entry on him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Michael_Shrimpton), but if you go to that URL, you’ll get the messsage: “This page has been deleted”.
After you’ve read this post, you’ll know why Wikipedia scrubbed its page on Michael Shrimpton.
Shrimpton was a speaker at a forum, date unknown, but probably sometime in 2008 (more on this later). Beginning at the 1:42 mark of the video below, Shrimpton dropped a bombshell about Obama.


Shrimpton made the following startling claims:

1. Although Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) is said to have been born on August 4, 1961, he actually was born in 1960.
2. Obama’s alleged mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was not pregnant in July 1961.
3. Although BHO is said to have been born in Honolulu, Hawaii, he actually was born in Mombasa, Kenya, which was then British territory, which means British intelligence has his records.
4. The C.I.A. surreptiously took a DNA sample of Obama at a fundraising dinner and ran a test, but could not match Obama’s DNA with his [maternal] grandparents, the Dunhams.
5. Former New York governor and GOP presidential aspirant Rudy Giuliani told Shrimpton at a recent lunch that he (Giuliani) knows all about this. Giuliani had hoped he would be the GOP presidential candidate and he’d then use the information against the Democrats.
6. The Clintons (Bill and Hillary) also know about this.

For the rest of the 1½ hour video, Shrimpton talked about British politics and the European Union. However, at the 1:09:30 mark, a man in the audience asked Shrimpton a question about Obama and Kenya. In his response, beginning at about the 1:11:55 mark, Shrimpton alluded to the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign as if it was ongoing as he spoke, which suggests that the forum took place in 2008. Shrimpton also made these additional claims:
