“The bill is … legalization first and enforcement later, and just opposite what the people think they’re getting, and opposite to what many members of Congress think is in the bill before us,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, the leading Republican on the Senate’s Judiciary Committee.)

Obama in the Bunker on Benghazi as Coverup Exposed with Victoria Toensing-Today on The Teri O’Brien Show, 5-12-13

Benghazi, Hillary Clinton

After last week’s hearing on Benghazi before Darryl Issa’s House Oversight Committee, we have even more questions about what happened on the most recent anniversary of 9/11. Still, it’s a clear picture is emerging, and common sense allows us to connect the very obvious dots. We’ll explore the remaining questions with über attorney Victoria Toensing, who represented the Benghazi whistleblowers, and who was scheduled to appear on last week’s show, but was delayed while traveling. Combining what happened in the Issa (R-CA) hearing with an application of my knowledge of the Chicago Way, I’m pretty sure I understand what happened. I’ll tell you during today’s show. Suffice it to say for now that it’s time to put Valerie Jarrett, David Plouffe, and Obama’s ultimate sleazemeister, David Axelrod under oath and get some answers.

There was another hearing in Congress last week, this time in the Senate on immigration. Any doubt that this 844-page monstrosity drafted by the Gang of 8 is a trick cooked up by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), should be gone after what we heard last week. Of the over 300 amendments proposed to the bill, the defeat of the one specific change tells us everything we need to know. Paging Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). Let me say it again: you are being played.

Didn’t Sen. Rubio’s mom warn him about guys like Chuck Schumer? What was the best advice your mom gave you?

Tune in today for the rest of the story.

Shades of Obamacare. DHS Admits It’s Not Ready to Secure the Border.

Posted on by

Sen. Rubio, you’re starring in some new ads promoting the “comprehensive immigration reform” that Sen. Schumer is trying to sucker you into getting passed. The voiceover in the ad in which you are featured says that the proposed bill is “bold” “very conservative” and “Border Security On Steroids.” Have you seen this latest from the Department of Homeland Security?

From The Washington Times:

The Homeland Security Department’s auditor will paint a picture Tuesday of agencies not yet ready to administer a massive new immigration bill that would require it to boost border security and weed through petitions from millions of illegal immigrants.
In prepared testimony obtained by The Washington Times, Anne L. Richards, assistant inspector general for audits, will tell the Senate Homeland Security committee that the department has made major progress in the 10 years since it was formed, but there are still many outstanding problems with measuring data and planning for the future.

Gee, problems, you mean problems like the ones mentioned in this story cited in last week’s Show Notes? 

No worries. If this disaster becomes law, we can just rely on Big SIs, or her successors, to exercise the extremely wide discretion she is given to do the right thing. 

Also from the WT article:

The auditor said Homeland Security officials have plans to address many of the shortcomings, but she said “it takes time” to write and implement those plans.

To Sen. Rubio, Sen. Graham, and the other proponents of this mess who say “full speed ahead”, I say “Seriously?”

 

Like Benghazi Lies, “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” Unraveling

From the Washington Times: 

The Heritage Foundation said Monday that legalizing illegal immigrants would cost taxpayers a net $6.3 trillion over the next 50 years — releasing a report that ignited a venomous battle over an immigration bill and who is truly representing the conservative movement in the debate.
Driving the costs in the Heritage report are simple demographics: Illegal immigrants are more likely to lack a high school education, and more than a third of households headed by illegal immigrants live below the poverty line, meaning those households consume more in services than they pay in taxes. …

Sen. Marco Rubio, Gang of 8, Comprehensive immigration reformOver the course of a lifetime, that works out to each illegal immigrant-led household taking $592,000 more in government benefits than would be paid in taxes, said Robert Rector, the report’s chief author.

“This should be considered a minimum estimate,” Mr. Rector and co-author Jason Richwine wrote. “It probably understates real future costs because it undercounts the number of unlawful immigrants and dependents who will actually receive amnesty and underestimates significantly the future growth in welfare and medical benefits.”

Some people like former MS governor Haley Barbour accuse Heritage of putting out a purely political document designed to scare conservatives in Congress. I say “be afraid. Be very afraid.” I thought Sen. Rubio had caught on to the fact that he is being played by Chuckie Schumer, but I keep hearing the ads (video of ad in the link) he made promoting the so-called “Gang of 8″ “comprehensive immigration reform” (read “obfuscate the reality by overwhelming everyone with complexity” bill) for The American Action Network, a group formed by “former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman and GOP donor and activist Fred Malek,” according to the Newsmax article linked in this paragraph.

Please check out Shades of Obamacare. DHS Admits It’s Not Ready to Secure the Border. describing the admission by the Department of Homeland Security that they are not ready to comply with the border security requirements contained in the bill. Shades of Obamacare, and we know how well that’s working out.

Illegals Out “of the Shadows,” Benghazi Whistleblowers Soon Will Be: Show Notes: The Teri O’Brien Show, 5-5-13

Happy Cinco De Mayo, or as Barack Obama might say, “Cinco de Cuatro!”

Barack Obama goes to Mexico, warns us not to get all “bogged down” worrying about border security, and apologizes AGAIN for the United States, this time for being responsible for drug trafficking and the prevalence of guns, and conveniently neglects to mention that his administration deliberately sent lots of them there in an attempt to gin up gun control hysteria in the United States. As his fellow pinko Lenin would say, to make an omelette, you’ve got to break some eggs. What’s a few hundred dead Mexicans?

For the 5th time in the last 18 months, Obama goes to Ohio, this time to THE Ohio State University to reward the wet-behind-the-ears Obamabots who mindlessly voted for him because he’s so cool. He warns them not to get all bogged down in listening to people who tell them that government isn’t the source of everything good in their lives.

With a straight face, faux reasonable, moderate, middle-of-the-road guy/national embarrassment Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) explains that unless we pass the 844-page “comprehensive immigration reform,” it won’t be possible to make sure that people like the Tsarnaev accomplices don’t overstay or re-enter the country with expired student visas, demonstrating how breathtakingly stupid the democrats really think we are.

Rudy Giuliani makes a great case that Robel Phillipos, Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev should be charged with being accessories in the murder of MIT police officer Sean Collier.

On May Day, amazingly, once again, illegal aliens emerge from “the shadows” to wave Mexican flags and hang out with communists and anarchists. The Left, including their stenographers in the LSM, say “Communists? What communists?” So does the afore-mentioned pudgy huckster, Dick Durbin.

Benghazi survivors remain “in the shadows,” but whistleblowers will testify on Wednesday before Darryl Issa’s committee.

Bill Maher celebrates the gassing and incineration of his fellow citizens by our government at Waco.

At the NRA convention, Wayne LaPierre says bring it on, and reflects on what it’s like to be called a “liar” by Barack Obama. I think it’s sort of like being called “fat” by Michael Moore, or “stupid” by Elisabeth Hasselback.

The Benghazi Coverup with Whistleblowers’ Attorney, Victoria Toensing-Today on the Teri O’Brien Show

Posted on by
8

UPDATE: Victoria Toensing was not able to join us. She was delayed traveling home. We hope to have her on the show soon. 

During a week when Barack Obama had to state that rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated, the reality is that rumors of al Qaeda’s demise, fueled by the One’s desire to perpetuate his pre-election mantra that “GM is alive and Osama bin Laden is dead,” are the thing that has been seriously, and dangerously exaggerated, as demonstrated by both Benghazi and Boston. The Benghazi coverup is beginning to unravel. In a terrific piece of reporting, Steve Hayes of the Weekly Standard confirms this weekend what we knew all along; specifically, “senior Obama administration officials knowingly misled the country about what had happened in the days following the assaults.” Where’s my shocked face? This coming Wednesday, three whistleblowers, all career State Department officials, will testify before Rep. Darryl Issa (R-CA) and his Oversight and Government Reform Committee. We are delighted that their attorney, the amazing Victoria Toensing, will be our guest today. What will her clients tell the committee? What did she mean when she said that “people have been threatened” when they wanted to speak up about what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012? Will this hearing cause the floodgates to open, as more come forward to tell the truth? Has she received the apology she demanded after a State Department spokesperson called her a “liar?”

During his excellent Latin American adventure, our Dear Reader cautioned us against getting “bogged down” on the issue of border security. Unfortunately for those who agree, including the thousands demonstrating on May Day for “immigrants’ rights,” this statement came during the same week that we learned that two pals of the surviving Boston bomber who helped him cover up the crime were in the country illegally. What common household item did they make a point of removing from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s dorm room? Is it common knowledge that this stuff, which you probably have in your home, can be used to make a bomb? I didn’t know. How did they?

2nd Amendment Update: Barack Obama has stated that he’s not done trying to trample on gun rights. NRA says bring it on. Liberals mock the 2nd amendment and celebrate the government’s incineration of American citizens on American soil at Waco.

Tune in today for the rest of the story.
