These are Americans blockading *buses full of child refugees* while waving the flag



Murrieta, Calif. -

Three buses carrying 140 illegal immigrants are heading back to San Diego County after being met by angry protesters at the Murrieta Border Patrol facility Tuesday afternoon.

The group was flown from Texas to San Diego Tuesday morning and quickly boarded buses bound for the facility. They arrived in Murrieta shortly after 2 p.m.

A group of protesters waving American Flags actually blocked the buses from entering the Border Patrol facility. Residents were lining the street early Tuesday morning with signs, one of which read, 'Return to Sender'.

After the protesters intervened, the buses turned around and drove away from the facility. Our crew at the scene confirmed the buses are on their way back to San Diego County.

Benghazi suspect says he was motivated by the YouTube video

Ahmed abu Khattalah, the suspected ringleader of the attack in Benghazi who was just captured by U.S. forces,said he was motivated by the anti-Islam online video made in America.

In private conversations, Khattala told other Libyans during the night of the attack that he was moved to attack the diplomatic mission to take revenge for an insult to Islam in an American-made online video.

Every right wing talking  point has been blown out of the water today. Watch how they spin this because it doesn’t fit their narrative. Darrell Issa is probably in a fetal position in the corner of his office, sucking his thumb right now.

BREAKING: U.S. captures Benghazi attack ringleader in secret raid.

U.S. Special Operations forces captured one of the suspected ringleaders of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in a secret raid in Libya over the weekend, the first time one of the accused perpetrators of the 2012 assault has been apprehended, according to U.S. officials.

The officials said Ahmed Abu Khattalawas captured near Benghazi by American troops, working alongside the FBI, following months of planning, and was now in U.S. custody “in a secure location outside Libya.” The officials said there were no casualties in the operation, and that all U.S. personnel involved have safely left Libya.

Khattala’s apprehension is a major victory for the Obama administration, which has been criticized for having failed so far to bring those responsible for the Benghazi attacks to justice.

One jubilant official called Khattala’s capture “a reminder that when the United States says it’s going to hold someone accountable and he will face justice, this is what we mean.”

Hillary Clinton doesn’t have a problem with liberals. Not hardly.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has said repeatedly that she won't run for president in 2016, and yet the idea persists: That Hillary Clinton could find herself vulnerable to a more liberal primary opponent.

The problem? Almost all of the most recent data suggests that Clinton doesn't have any real problems on her left flank. Indeed, she's actually stronger with liberals than  she is with more moderate Democrats. And very, very few liberals have anything but nice things to say about her.

-snip-

A Washington Post/ABC News pollthis month showed Clinton taking a bigger share of the vote in the 2016 primary among self-described liberals (72 percent) than among moderate and conservative Democrats (60 percent).

-snip-

The WaPo-ABC poll also shows liberal Democrats approve of Clinton's tenure at the State Department by a margin of 96-1, while moderate Democrats approve of it 84-12. Sixty-seven percent of liberals strongly approve of Clinton's performance, nearly 9 in 10 say she is a strong leader, and only slightly fewer say she's honest and trustworthy

Las Vegas Walmart shooters interests: Benghazi, chemtrails, guns, Ron Paul, and revolution

A man who gunned down two police officers and a woman Sunday in Las Vegas left behind social media postings that show his concerns over Benghazi, chemtrails, gun control laws, and the government’s treatment of rancher Cliven Bundy.

Neighbors identified Jerad and Amanda Miller as the suspects whoshot the officers execution-style as they ate lunch at a pizza restaurant, and then shot a woman outside a Walmart in the same plaza.

The couple’s apartment was searched Monday morning, and authorities in Lafayette, Indiana, confirmed that Las Vegas police had contacted them about the case.

Witnesses said the couple announced the shootings were the start of a revolution and draped the victims’ bodies with American Revolution-era Gadsden flags — bearing the slogan “Don’t tread on me” — that have become symbols of the Tea Party movement.

Rand Paul wants to trade 5 Democrats instead of 5 Taliban.

https://mobile.twitter.com/SenRandPaul/status/475002836107816960

Between this very un-presidential statement (among many others), Ben Carson comparing ACA to 9/11 and slavery, and Ted Cruz being batshit crazy, it looks like that GOP 2016 straw poll is now moot. I can just see the attack ads now...

ETA: And they wonder why the Prez doesn't want to work with these inbred racist faketriots.

Hillary Clinton on Iraq vote: ‘I still got it wrong. Plain and simple.’

Hillary Rodham Clinton, in her strongest language yet about her 2002 Senate vote to authorize military action in Iraq, writes in her forthcoming memoir that "I still got it wrong," CBS News reported Thursday afternoon.

In "Hard Choices," Clinton, a former secretary of state and former U.S. senator who is exploring a 2016 presidential campaign, writes: "[M]any Senators came to wish they had voted against the resolution. I was one of them. As the war dragged on, with every letter I sent to a family in New York who had lost a son or daughter, a father or mother, my mistake become (sic) more painful."

Clinton continues, "I thought I had acted in good faith and made the best decision I could with the information I had. And I wasn't alone in getting it wrong. But I still got it wrong. Plain and simple."

Does Anybody Care How Bowe Bergdahl Was Able To Walk Away In The First Place?

There are a thousand different questions surrounding Bowe Bergdahl.

You know the one that sprang to my mind first when I heard the story of him supposedly just up and walking away from his outpost in 2009?

Who let him walk away?

That’s a question nobody is asking in this story.

Nobody has asked the soldiers in his unit who are speaking out against him.  Nobody has asked the military experts giving analysis about his value or the pundits who debate the terms of the prisoner transfer that led to his release.

Who let him walk away?

Because I’ve spent some time on an outpost in Afghanistan.  In the summer fighting season, we had four positions we used for 360-degree coverage of our AO.  We had two men at each position and we rotated guards every three or four hours.  If someone came within 50 meters of our outpost in any direction someone in one of the guard towers could see them.

Even at night, we could see everything.  We had fairly decent night-vision goggles, we had thermal sensors.  Considering the amount of foliage and concealment available in the summer months in Afghanistan, I believe it was actually easier to pull guard at night than during the day.

This is a blog by a liberal combat vet who served in Afghanistan. He also wrote that article 'I'm a 35yr old White male Veteran on foodstamps' in 2012 when Republicans were calling Obama foodstamp prez and cutting benefits.
