Obama Knew, Hillary knew ... Those Lying Sonsabitchs Knew It All Long

And we knew that they probably knew it.

Now, what are we going to do about it??

BREAKING: Obama Admin Knew Al-Qaeda Was Planning Attack in Benghazi 10 DAYS IN ADVANCE

Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained more than 100 pages of previously classified “Secret” documents from the Department of Defense (DOD)and the Department of State revealing that DOD almost immediately reported that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was committed by the al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood-linked “Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman” (BCOAR), and had been planned at least 10 days in advance. Rahman is known as the Blind Sheikh, and is serving life in prison for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other terrorist acts. The new documents also provide the first official confirmation that shows the U.S. government was aware of arms shipments from Benghazi to Syria. The documents also include an August 2012 analysis warning of the rise of ISIS and the predicted failure of the Obama policy of regime change in Syria.

[...]A Defense Department document from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), dated September 12, 2012, the day after the Benghazi attack, details that the attack on the compound had been carefully planned by the BOCAR terrorist group “to kill as many Americans as possible.”

Two Out Of Three

This Doesn't Sound Good

Okay, it's the Daily Mail, but I still wonder:

It’s the most expensive weapon in history but America's F-35 stealth jet has been outperformed by a 40-year-old F-16 jet in a dogfight.

A mock air battle was held over the Pacific Ocean between the cutting-edge F-35 - meant to be the most sophisticated jet ever - and an F-16, which was designed in the 1970s.

But according to the test pilot, the F-35 is still too slow to hit an enemy plane or dodge gunfire. So far it has cost the US military more than $350billion.

More here and here.

And this story alleges that the F-35 has been made more vulnerable when engineers got rid of eleven pounds of safety equipment.

The report, conducted by the Pentagon's Operational Test and Evaluation office (OT&E), found that shedding a few pounds from Lockheed Martin's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (also known as Lightning II) has made the aircraft 25 percent more vulnerable in certain dangerous situations.

The Lightning II lost two safety features in 2008, including the PAO shutoff valve and the fueldraulic system. The PAO shutoff valve weighed 2 pounds and the fueldraulic system weighed 9 pounds, bringing the grand total to an 11 pound weight loss.

However, the new report from OT&E suggests that getting rid of the PAO shutoff valve could lead to a rupture below the cockpit and ridding the fueldraulic system increases the chance of a sustained fire if exposed.

More Idiots In Action

I really shouldn't read the news any more.

NYC's idiot mayor has just endangered seniors and children and a bunch of other people.From the Daily News:

In front of emotional supporters, Mayor de Blasio signed legislation Monday that will prohibit employers from inquiring about a candidate's criminal record prior to a job offer.

"Today I see hope for people like me," said Marilyn Scales, 52, of the Bronx, who said she never has had a full-time job because of her record for dealing heroin.

This woman sold poison to people. She shouldn't be allowed to have a paper route. In many other countries she'd be in jail for life or rotting in an unmarked grave. Now she's pissing and moaning because she can't get a full time job - like millions of other people who didn't sell heroin.

While NYS law does prohibit asking for an arrest history, it does allow criminal history (convictions) to be viewed, particularly for  businesses such as child day care centers (N.Y. Executive Law 845-B) and other professions where a criminal conviction is enough to remove you from employment considerations.

Perhaps NYC is still allowing these, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't. I hope it can only apply to city-licensed businesses. Can you imagine hiring a convicted rapist to work at a long term rehab center? Or a convicted felon - a thief -  to work at a jewelry store? Or how about Marilyn Scales working in a pharmaceutical warehouse?

These people have lost their minds. No one is responsible for their actions any more. No one need fear any consequences of wrong doing. God forbid anyone should suffer a disadvantage because they're a screw up.
