Former Secretary of State and current presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear before the House Select Committee on Benghazi on October 22, 2015. For those of you expecting anything near the truth to be outed during this hearing, guess again.

This article outlines an interesting plan for politics, but our leaders also need a plan for dealing with the enemedia.

I just wish we had a few more lions & tigers in congress right now, instead of the jellyfish we have in charge.

Congress isn’t the only joke on America, it is the entire Washington empire. The corruption is so deep the public will never know. The public watches their lives and it around them crash they just sit on their thumbs sucking a pacifier.

Read “A Time for Truth” by Ted Cruz.

I believe even he was surprised at the depth of corruption when he arrived at the Senate in 2012.
