So if even the D’s are saying it came from the White House then why dont they do something about it and hold some peopld accountable? Let me answer that – KING OBAMA!
Democratic Sen. Feinstein Accuses Obama White House Of Leaking Sensitive Intelligence To Press
Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), speaking at a conference on Monday, made it clear that she believes a series of intelligence leaks that reveal sensitive information about America’s national security practices emanate from the White House. She stopped short of accusing President Barack Obama of being complicit in the information leaking, but she said she hoped that the President would stem the flow if sensitive intelligence to the press.
“I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from its ranks. I don’t know specifically where, but I think they have to begin to understand that and do something about it,” Feinstein said to an audience at the National Press Club. “I mean there’s one book they can read and they’ll see it very clearly.”
WOW! I guess you just never know what goes on in a persons mind!
James Holmes Received $26K Grant From Bethesda-Based National Institutes of Health
WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) – James Holmes, the alleged gunman in the recent theater shooting that left 12 dead in Aurora, Colo., was previously awarded a $26,000 federal grant.
WNEW News reports that Holmes was awarded a prestigious grant from the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. NIH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
It gave the graduate student a $26,000 stipend and paid his tuition for the highly competitive neuroscience program at the University of Colorado in Denver. Holmes was one of six neuroscience students at the school to get the grant money.
@Hoppy
It is with deep regret that I must report that I clicked on the Code Pink link. Never again!
You are absolutely correct in your choice. They are a dangerous group, though. Code Pink worked on behalf of the terrorist group Hamas against the government’s blockade of Hamas-controlled Gaza. At the time, Code Pink said their safety in Gaza was guaranteed by Hamas.
Code Pink has acted as a go-between from Hamas to President Barack Obama. In 2009, Hamas gave Code Pink a letter for Obama. Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, who is also a top fundraiser for Obama, visited the White House and met with a senior aide to Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett after one of the group’s trips to Hamas-controlled Gaza in 2009.
Last year ,Code Pink recommended Clarence Thomas be” hanged, stringed up, tortured” I wonder if they received a visit from the FBI?
——————
Not a lot of new news. I’m going to read a book.
@d.d.
“Last year ,Code Pink recommended Clarence Thomas be” hanged, stringed up, tortured” I wonder if they received a visit from the FBI?”
And no one will dare call them “racist,” will they?
Ratboy:: thank you for that..its true, just want whats best for Americans which is what the black community is…i agree with Sicilian Papa, that it is frustrating that out black community is so bull dozed by the Al Sharptons and the Charles Rangles that line their own pockets while their peers pick at the scraps…we continue to have the highest unemployment, the worst drop out rate, the highest teeage pregnacy rates, the highest single parent rates, the highest prison population per centage, and still they stick with the party that perpetuates it…MINDBOGGLING!!
I’ve fallen in love with Ratboy!
Afternoon All,
Hot, hot , hot, dry, dry, dry here. Was working outside and got dizzy and sick at my stomach. Decided it was time to come in where it is cool.
Interesting that Feinstein didn’t show up today for a meeting where she was to speak. Other dems refused to answer questions about security leaks from the White House. Hmmmmmm–think she might have had a “talking to” and we won’t be hearing much from her in the future?
@Letmethink
What does MHOO mean? I’ve seen you use it a couple of times.
I don’t watch Hannity in it’s entirety. From the parts I’ve seen he’s a “team player” for FNC. He gives other shows credit for their success. He promotes Greta’s show & let her run a clip or audio he was gonna run. I don’t watch much of Bill O either. I’ve never heard him give kudos to other FNC shows or promote them. I’m gonna tell Rodger Ailes to have a talk with him.
OK Ratboy here is your chance to show off your skills.
Hillbilly MHOO–My Humble Opinion Only—:)
@d.d.
It wasn’t my intention to say you supported assault weapons. If it came across that way there’s some confusion. You did mention (if I’m not mistaken) the boarder with Mexico. I was going to use that as an example for why some folks would need an assault weapon.
That’s the only connection to d.d.’s comment i intended.
@Letmethink
Thanks. The “only” had me wondering.
Wow Obama is raffling off visits to his Chicago home. It is beautiful!!!
@Ratboy … MSDUMBc. You know, I use to call FOX news FAUX news, but then I thought to myself, “You know, that’s kind of immature and childish. Grow up.”
Good advice I gave to myself. You could use it, too.
