State Dept Blocking Lawyers From Representing Benghazi Whistleblowers – Big Government
According to former US Attorney Joe DiGenova, the State Department is standing in the way of lawyers trying to represent whistleblowers in the ongoing investigation into the events at the US Consolate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.
.

DiGenova appeared with me and co-host Brian Wilson this morning on “Mornings on the Mall” on WMAL-FM in Washington DC.
“The Department of State is refusing to grant clearances to Victoria (Toensing) and other people who want to represent the whistleblowers in an attempt to prevent the testimony,” DiGenova said, referring to the upcoming hearing before Rep. Darrel Issa’s House Oversight Committee.
DiGenova called the stand-off a “constitutional showdown” and added, “Congress is going to win. The administration’s effort to cover up what happened in Benghazi is going to fail.”

A dramatic 911 call recorded a Oklahoma man’s confrontation with an intruder who broke into his Ponca City home early Thursday morning. The homeowner ended up shooting the intruder several times when police didn’t arrive in time.

The roughly five minute 911 call begins frantically enough: “You better get these (expletive) here or they will die,” the man told a 911 dispatcher.
The homeowner stayed on the line with 911 as he waited for the police to arrive. However, the police didn’t arrive before the intruder found his way into the house.
“They’re beating on my front door right now,” he said.
“Okay, we’ve got them on the way,” the dispatcher replied.
“They better hurry up, because I will blow these (expletive) away.”
A short time later, the home intruder managed to gain entry into the home. It was at this point that the homeowner fired several shots at the suspect.
“I just put three rounds in his ass,” he informed the dispatcher.

Ponca City Police say the incident took place at around 4:30 a.m. Thursday. The intruder was transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance and then airlifted to another Tulsa hospital. His condition was unknown Friday and police have not identified the suspect.
“The case is under investigation. Ponca City Police say once they complete the investigation the case will be turned over to the DA,” KOKH-TV reports.

Okay, so before I start getting angry replies to this post over my lack of respect for what Saint Patrick’s Day is really all about, please allow me to relay the following sentiment:
.
Most Americans, if they’re to be honest with themselves, rarely even consider the religious aspects of Saint Patrick’s Day, and the ones who do probably wouldn’t like this blog much anyway. After all, Doug and I are both shameless vulgarians – well, at least I am – not to mention male chauvinist pigs. We regularly post pictures of scantily clad women here and openly mock people who take themselves too fuckin’ seriously, so if this little blog entry offends your sensibilities, I suggest that you quietly go pound sand up your arse.
Oh, and HAPPY SAINT PADDY’S DAY!!!

Yesterday (3/3/13) I was guest host on The Jason Mattera Show on WABC in NYC. Joseph Phillips from The Cosby Show was one of my guests. Check out what his son’s school did to this honor school student because of a picture of an AirSoft BB-Gun. Our schools have lost their frickin’ minds. Also, check out me and Steve Pauwels (of ClashDaily.com) yapping about how some churches are setting the next generation up to be steamrolled by bad people and policies.
Here’s the letter Joseph sent to his son’s school:
Principal David Fehte
El Camino Real Charter
5440 Valley Circle Blvd.
Woodland Hills, CA. 91367Principal Fehte,
My name is Joseph C. Phillips. My son, Connor, is currently enrolled as a sophomore at El Camino Real Charter High School. I am writing you concerning a recent encounter my son had with one of his teachers, that is of grave concern to me.
Last Friday, February 22nd, James DeLarme confiscated a camera belonging to my son. Apparently, Mr. DeLarme was alarmed by a photo of a rifle he observed on my sons camera.
My son is involved in the hobby of air soft- war games played with BB guns. Air soft is not a new past time; far from it. Air soft is a recreational activity played nationwide by both boys and girls and men and women of all ages; there are stores all over the city and the internet dedicated to selling air soft equipment. My son worked, saved his money, and purchased a new air soft rifle. On Friday, Connor was showing his friends a photo of his new toy when Mr. DeLarme walked by, saw the photo and snatched the camera from my son’s hands. My son attempted to explain to Mr. DeLarme that the rifle was a bb gun used for playing air soft. It was at that time that Mr. DeLarme exclaimed that he didn’t know anything about that and the police would have to be called. It is my understanding that Mr. DeLarme left the room and shared the photo with another teacher, who was also “disturbed” by the photo, so disturbed apparently that they both felt the need to scroll through all of the photos on my son’s camera. After a time, Mr. Delarme returned the phone to my son, but not before he inquired about Connor’s mental state: “Do you have any animosity towards your classmates?” “Are you angry at anyone at school?” etc.
I am well aware of the sensitivity concerning guns, especially given recent events in Connecticut. However, I am also quite aware of Mr. DeLarme’s political opposition to guns-I believe his quote on the television was, “…Guns are to blame! We have to do away with guns!” It is my belief that in this instance politics trumped good sense and as a result my son’s privacy was violated, his property confiscated, he was needlessly embarrassed in front of his classmates, treated as a mental patient, (by someone unqualified to determine anyone’s mental state), and subsequently threatened with police involvement. In addition, neither my wife nor I was ever notified. I had to discover this during a conversation with my son.
Did I mention that this was a photograph of a rifle? There was absolutely nothing on that camera that would qualify as lewd, illegal, or immoral. NOTHING! As Mr. DeLarme surely knew and learned when he violated my son’s privacy by scrolling through the entire camera.
I am LIVID!
It may come as a shock to Mr. DeLarme, It may even be news to you, but my son is not the only boy in Woodland Hills with a BB gun. There are quite a few boys attending your school who not only own BB guns, but own real guns as well. (Some of them play air soft with my son!) Their fathers, mothers, and brothers also own guns and shoot regularly. Owning a gun is NOT a sign of mental illness. Owning a BB gun is NOT an indication of mental instability! Certainly, showing friends a photograph of a gun is NOT a warning sign that a student is a potential danger to his classmates! I object, in the strongest of terms, to my son being treated as a potential danger and to his being threatened with law enforcement. I further object to not being notified! If Mr. DeLarme truly believed my son presented a danger, both my wife and I should have been notified immediately!
What remains unclear is what other images does Mr. Delarme (and the teacher he consulted with) deem so “disturbing” that such an intervention is warranted. If my son had been showing friends a photograph of a marijuana plant, would Mr. DeLarme have snatched the camera from my son’s hands? What if my son had been flashing a photo of a bottle of Jack Daniels? Teen age drinking is illegal, owning a rifle is not. Something tells me that this teacher and his cohort would have kept stepping- that the only reason for DeLarme’s behavior was his distaste of guns (and apparently his objection to the second amendment).
Mr. Fehte, I suspect that you are old enough to recall a time when most boys owned BB guns; when a .22 rifle was a popular Christmas gift available for purchase at Kmart or the local sporting goods store; when high schools had rifle teams; when a pocket knife in a boys pocket was a sign that the boy was involved in the Boy Scouts. If you do not remember a more innocent, and dare I say, level-headed time, I certainly do. And trust me, I am not that old. Is this what the new world hath wrought? Teachers looking over students shoulders, peeking to make certain they are not sharing any objectionable images? Students threatened with police intervention for having a photo of a gun? Students embarrassed in front of their classmates because they are out of step with the political agenda of their instructor? Is this El Camino Real Charter High School at its finest? Should I expect the rest of my sons’ tenure at Elco to be similarly absurd? What about his brothers, who are also slated to attend Elco? Should I be worried that their dignity will also be subject to disrespect because they have a legal, but politically objectionable photo on their cameras?
It is my sincere hope that this matter is addressed, that my son receives the formal apology he did not receive on Friday, that parents are informed as to the protocol concerning police intervention, and that instructors at Elco are provided some guidance, so they do not over react, thus causing more harm than good.
I thank you for your time and attention to this matter and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Joseph C. Phillips

Politician Stripped Of Title After Lewd Snake Comment – Connecticut Post
A veteran House member from New London was stripped of his deputy speaker title this week after he made a lewd comment during a budget hearing.

Speaker of the House J. Brendan Sharkey said Thursday that Rep. Ernest Hewett made a remark perceived as sexually harassing during an exchange with a 17-year-old intern from the Connecticut Science Center.
After the teenage girl said that working at the science center helped her overcome a fear of snakes, Hewett allegedly made reference to a snake with him, under his desk top.
.
.
“The public needs to know this is an environment where they will be respected,” Sharkey said. “That kind of language shouldn’t be used in any public setting.”
After hearing an audiotape of the incident, which occurred Feb. 21, Sharkey stripped Hewett of his deputy speaker title Wednesday. With the removal of the title goes $6,446 in extra pay above the rank-and-file rate of $28,000.
“After I first heard about it, I thought maybe in the broader sense maybe he was misunderstood and it may not be that big a deal,” Sharkey said in an interview.
“But based on the audio, it’s hard to interpret it that way. It’s hard for anyone who heard the audio or was there to think it was anything other than a sexual innuendo.
“I guess the best word I can use to describe this is disturbing,” Sharkey said.
Sharkey last week ordered sexual harassment training for all House Democrats who are not in their first or second term. In addition, he has invited women members of the 99-member majority caucus to meet with him and Hewett on Tuesday.
Hewett, a former mayor of New London who is in his fifth term in the House, said Thursday that he wanted to apologize to the young woman, whose identity he did not know.
“Secondly, I want to apologize to my colleagues for the statement I made,” he said.
“I take full responsibility for my actions. In hindsight, I can really see how this can be misconstrued as something sexual,” Hewett said.
Rep. Kim Fawcett, D-Fairfield, one of the lawmakers invited to the sit-down with Hewett next week, said lawmakers must find the 17-year-old intern.
“The apology needs to go to the 17-year-old girl who testified and the Connecticut Science Center who brought their intern to the Legislature, which submitted her to that kind of harassment,” Fawcett said.
Appearing on CNN Wednesday, the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward said a “very senior person” at the White House warned him that he would “regret doing this,” referring to his outspoken criticism of President Barack Obama’s handling of the impending forced cuts known as the sequester.

“I think they’re confused,” Woodward told CNN host Wolf Blitzer. Woodward apparently went on to criticize Obama further over the sequester the same day he received the warning from the White House.
“It makes me very uncomfortable for the White House to be telling reporters, you are going to ‘regret’ doing something that you believe in,” he added. “It’s Mickey Mouse.”
CNN invited a White House official to debate Woodward on-air, but the offer was declined, Business Insider’s Brett LoGiurato reports. Video via Townhall:

.
TheBlaze’s Becket Adams has more details on the feud between Woodward and the White House:
Bob Woodward on Wednesday accused President Barack Obama of acting with a “kind of madness” in his handling of the automatic spending cuts set to take effect Friday.
He continued, turning his attention to the White House’s recent claim that spending cuts would prohibit it from deploying aircraft carriers to the Persian Gulf.
“Can you imagine Ronald Reagan sitting there and saying ‘Oh, by the way, I can’t do this because of some budget document?’” Woodward said.
“Or George W. Bush saying, ‘You know, I’m not going to invade Iraq because I can’t get the aircraft carriers I need’ or even Bill Clinton saying, ‘You know, I’m not going to attack Saddam Hussein’s intelligence headquarters,’ as he did when Clinton was president because of some budget document?” he added.
Woodward initially started his fight with the White House after he accused the Obama administration of “moving the goal posts” in its budget negotiations with Republican lawmakers. He also reported in his book, “The Price of Politics,” that the automatic spending cuts were actually Obama’s idea – and now he wants to avoid them at all costs.

Former Clinton Aide Turned Columnist Says White House Threatened His Publication, Too – Daily Caller
A day after The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward insisted he was “threatened” by a senior White House official, a former Clinton aide turned columnist says his publication was once threatened by the Obama White House as well.
Lanny Davis, formerly a special counsel to President Bill Clinton, told WMAL’s Brian Wilson and Larry O’Connor that a White House official once threatened to have The Washington Times’ White House credentials revoked over columns Davis had written.
Davis says his editor “received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn’t like some of my columns, even though I’m a supporter of Obama. I couldn’t imagine why this call was made.”
.
.
The White House aide allegedly told Times editor John Solomon, “that if he continued to run my [Davis'] columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials.”
Last week, National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling warned Woodward in an email that the reporter would “regret staking out” the claim that Obama’s “asking for revenues is moving the goal post,” according to copies of the emails obtained by Politico.
Woodward characterized that statement as a threat in interviews on Thursday.

Some genius said this last night:
………………………………………………………………………………
DepressiveBlogger69
@AceofSpadesHQI think there is a push to kill this story before other reporters realize they have a story if they report their own experiences.
………………………………………………………………………………
As editor-in-chief of National Journal, I received several e-mails and telephone calls from this White House official filled with vulgarity, abusive language, and virtually the same phrase that Woodward called a veiled threat. “You will regret staking out that claim,” The Washington Post reporter was told.
Once I moved back to daily reporting this year, the badgering intensified. I wrote Saturday night, asking the official to stop e-mailing me. The official wrote, challenging Woodward and my tweet. “Get off your high horse and assess the facts, Ron,” the official wrote.
I wrote back:
“I asked you to stop e-mailing me. All future e-mails from you will be on the record – publishable at my discretion and directly attributed to you. My cell-phone number is… If you should decide you have anything constructive to share, you can try to reach me by phone. All of our conversations will also be on the record, publishable at my discretion and directly attributed to you.” I haven’t heard back from the official. It was a step not taken lightly because the note essentially ended our working relationship.
Given that Woodward is now being called old and brokedown by David Pflouffe, and the Juicebox Mafia has picked up the “senile” message they’re putting out there… I would in fact say efforts are being made to insure Woodward “regrets” having correctly reported Obama’s ownership of the sequester.
Incidentally, credit where credit’s due: Sexton has stayed on this subject – ownership of the sequester – when most people (such as myself) considered it not interesting enough to stay on.

Wisconsin Sheriff Urges Residents To Arm Themselves – Fox News
A sheriff who released a radio ad urging Milwaukee-area residents to learn to handle firearms so they can defend themselves while waiting for police said Friday that law enforcement cutbacks have changed the way police can respond to crime.

In the 30-second commercial, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. says personal safety is no longer a spectator sport.
“I need you in the game,” he says.
“With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option,” he adds. “You can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back… Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there.”
The ad has generated sharp criticism from other area officials and anti-violence advocates. The president of the Milwaukee Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, Roy Felber, said it sounds like a call to vigilantism.
“That doesn’t sound too smart,” Felber said. “People have the right to defend themselves, but they don’t have the right to take the law into their own hands.”
Under Wisconsin’s “castle doctrine,” someone who uses deadly force against an unlawful intruder to their home, business or vehicle is presumed to have acted reasonably. A spokeswoman for the state Department of Justice said that as of this week, there are about 155,000 concealed carry permits in Wisconsin.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Clarke said he just wants people to know what their options are. While self-defense isn’t for everyone, some people see personal safety as their own responsibility, he said, and they should be trained properly.
“I’m not telling you to `Hey, pick up a gun and blast away.’ …People need to know what they are doing if they chose that method – to defend themselves,” he said.
But he also said he wanted to call on residents to be law enforcement “partners.” He said he could either whine about budget cuts that forced him to lay off 48 deputies last year or he could get creative.
“People are responsible to play a role in their own safety, with the help of law enforcement,” Clarke said. “I’m here to do my part, but we have fewer and fewer resources. We’re not omnipresent, and we have to stop giving people that impression.”
“After sitting down and thinking about this, I’m thinking `Hey, I’ve got an untapped reserve over here, and it’s the public,”‘ Clarke said.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett’s office released a statement criticizing the ad: “Apparently Sheriff David Clarke is auditioning for the next Dirty Harry movie.”
Barrett was beaten up several years ago by someone with a tire iron, and Clarke said he thought that would make the mayor “a lot more sensitive to people being able to defend themselves in such instances. A firearm and a plan of defense would have come in handy for him that day.”
Jeri Bonavia, executive director of Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort, said Clarke took a dangerous position with his ad. She pointed to the case of George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida who fatally shot an unarmed 17-year-old following an altercation. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming self-defense under Florida’s “stand your ground” law.
“I feel like this is such an irresponsible thing for our chief public safety officer of a county to do,” Bonavia said. “I think he owes this community an apology. And if he really believes that he’s not capable of providing for our public safety he should get a different job.”

Allen West Files Suit To Have Early Votes Recounted In St. Lucie County – Right Scoop

The Allen West for Congress campaign has now filed suit in St. Lucie County to have all early votes recounted and to hold of certification of the election results until the recount is completed:
FOX NEWS – Florida Rep. Allen West said Tuesday he filed a circuit court complaint challenging the official result of his race, which ended with him losing re-election by 2,442 votes.
The lawsuit asks the St. Lucie County court for a preliminary injunction that would order election officials to recount early votes in the state’s 18th Congressional District and refrain from certifying the results until the process in complete.
He was also on with Mark Levin tonight where not only mentioned the above lawsuit, but made clear this election isn’t about a West victory, but about a fair electoral process that the people in his district can trust:
This is about us asking questions. This is about us making sure that the 22 years I spent in uniform to serve this great nation – I took an oath to the Constitution to support and defend it. And I want to make sure that that oath that I continue to serve under means something. It is about, like I said, the honor and the integrity of our electoral process.
And I know that there are people out there that are Democrats or liberals that are listening and their whooping and hollering. You know, if you want me gone that’s fine. But do not do it at the expense of the voters in Congressional district 18. All I am asking for is a fair and equitable elections process and let the results come out where they may.
