[News With Views] "Although [former President] Barack Obama and his wannabe successor Hillary Clinton believe a presidential priority is disarming Americans or at least minimizing their access to firearms, they are arguably two of the world’s biggest gun-runners. Examples are the Fast & Furious scandal in Mexico and the Benghazi arms trafficking in which Libyan weapons were collected and given to Syrian jihadists to fight [Syria’s] dictatorship."
‐ Former police captain Joanne Pinzario
In Congress, the then-bipartisan group known as the "Gang of Eight," at a minimum, knew of the operation to aid and abet America’s jihadist enemies by providing them with material support. So said Clare Lopez, a former CIA intelligence officer and the primary author of Citizen’s Commission on Benghazi (CCB) interim report, titled How America Switched Sides in the War on Terror.
The ripple effects of the illegal policy to arm America’s enemies continue to be felt as the U.S. military is currently leading a war against Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda terrorists, according to Lopez.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ‐ as did many bureaucrats at the State Department ‐ knew that the U.S. was collecting ‐ many times buying ‐ and sending arms from Benghazi, Libya to Syria back in 2011, a year before the Benghazi consulate/CIA station attacks.
Hillary Clinton denied she knew about the weapons shipments during public testimony (under oath) in early 2013 after the deadly Benghazi terrorist attack.
On Monday Judicial Watch founder Tom Fitton spoke about smoking gun documents discovered by Judicial Watch that show Obama and Clinton were aware arms going to
Syria through Benghazi and were warned about rise of ISIS. Much more follows:
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A Seattle TV station has fired an editor after airing video footage of President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s Oval Office address on immigration that appears to be altered.
The Seattle Times reports that FOX affiliate Q13 broadcasted video from the Tuesday night speech that showed a more orange-toned Trump with his tongue hanging out languidly from his mouth after making a statement.
The video’s filtered colors look more saturated and the tongue appears doctored.
And they fired the editor immediately? I am truly shocked.

The media already alters saturation to make him appear more orange. Standard practice.

Probably the confluence of internal politics and an opportunity to appear less biased.
[Breitbart] Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Rancida
Tlaib (D-MI) were dealt blows this week after failing to secure seats on powerful House committees despite a push from progressive groups.
Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY), a former lawyer and accountant in his second term, clinched a seat on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee Wednesday, beating out Ocasio-Cortez, 29, who vowed to promote a "Green New Deal" and "Medicare for All,'"if given a seat on the influential panel.
In a statement, Suozzi, who represents Glen Cove, New York, pledged to "fight for the national issues voters and American families are concerned about ‐ increasing wages, improving retirement security, and reducing healthcare and prescription drug costs."
[PJ] It's often been said that if you want to know what Democrats are up to, pay attention to the lies they are telling about Republicans.
Did the Trump team collude with agents from a Russian internet firm to place fake news on Facebook designed to stoke outrage, benefiting Trump in the run-up to the 2016 election?
Or ... did Democrat operatives funded by a left-wing tech billionaire use Russian disinformation tactics on Facebook to stoke outrage, benefiting Democrats in the run-up to the 2018 midterm election?
The Daily Caller's Peter Hasson has the answer to that question:
Democratic operatives funded by left-wing tech billionaire Reid Hoffman ran a widespread campaign using misleading Facebook pages in the run-up to the 2018 midterm elections, The Daily Caller News Foundation has found.
American Engagement Technologies (AET), which was founded by former Obama administration official Mikey Dickerson, bought ads for two Facebook pages, "The Daily Real" and "Today’s Nation," encouraging Republican voters to stay home in the midterm elections, Facebook’s ad archives show.
Both pages appear to be designed to give the impression that they were operated by frustrated conservatives rather than by Democratic operatives.
The American flag-adorned pages encouraged conservative voters to either stay home in November or vote for Democrats to punish Republicans for being insufficiently conservative. Other ads called polls predicting a "blue wave" in the 2018 elections "unreliable" and downplayed the election’s importance.
The misleading ads collectively garnered millions of impressions on Facebook, TheDCNF’s review of Facebook’s archives found.

I think the only "regulation" that's needed in this sort of case is, once it is established an individual was connected to this sort of thing, lifetime ban from the profession. Apply it to IT, fundraising, journalism. For starters.

I'm guessing facebook is doing nothing about AET?
[AlAhram] U.S. President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... on Thursday canceled his planned trip later this month to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... , amid the ongoing partial shutdown of the U.S. government.

FIFY. I am sure there are able hard working government employees (my Dad retired GS-13 after a career working for the USAF), but The Fix™ is powerful for the SLS instead of any Commercial Space alternative.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
