The suspect, Mohamed Mohamed Abdi, was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, but is now a U.S. citizen, officials said.

DC Whispers, July 11, 2015 Just a few weeks earlier, GOP 2016 candidate Jeb Bush was sitting atop nearly every Republican presidential poll as he used his family name, media contacts, and a still formidable and long-standing Bush dynasty fundraising machine to place himself as the prospective favorite among a growing list of White House hopefuls. Then Donald Trump arrived, and now, Jeb Bush is quietly but urgently telling those around him that something must be done to diminish the sudden popularity of the New York billionaire. image: http://media.breitbart.com/media/2015/06/Trump-AP-Jeb-Reuters-640x480.jpg Initially during Mr. Trump’s rise in the polls, the Bush team...

Of the reported $25 million that Bill and Hillary Clinton have collected for paid speeches since the beginning of 2014, $225,000 of that came from Academic Partnerships, an education company in which Jeb Bush has a small ownership stake. The Intercept’s Lee Fang reported Monday that Hillary Clinton delivered the speech in Dallas, Texas on March 24, 2014 to a private event for company, which aims to help universities offer degree programs online for students around the world. Clinton and Bush both spoke at the conference last year, though they did not appear together.

Jeb Bush already has plenty of problems with the GOP base, but this latest revelation, dug out of Hillary Clinton’s financial disclosure form, will up the poison dosage pretty close to the fatal level. Lee Fang of The Intercept, the website headed by Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras (of Edward Snowden leak fame) and funded by ebay billionaire Pierre Omidyar, discovered: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton received nearly a quarter of a million dollars last year for a speaking engagement on behalf of Academic Partnerships, a for-profit education company in which Jeb Bush held an ownership stake and on whose...

Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) may be the brightest light to adorn the Republican party in many years. He knows how to make the case for conservative ideas, pointing, for example, to the contrasting fates of Detroit and Houston to illustrate the superiority of conservative policies. So it’s particularly galling to see that rather than train his fire at Obama and the liberal machine that cocoons him, Cruz has become a one-man wrecking ball against Republicans. His most recent foray into sabotaging his colleagues concerned the debt-limit increase. Because Speaker Boehner sent over a “clean” debt-limit bill, Republican senators had...

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush is still nursing presidential aspirations, despite Republican unease about the “comprehensive immigration reform” he whole-heartedly supports, after losing an argument with himself and immediately backpedaling from a book he had only just published. Bush chose to deal with this unease by attacking the uneasy, referring to them as “chirpers” in a CBN interview following his appearance before the Faith and Freedom Coalition. ”I will be able to, I think, manage my way through all the ‘chirpers’ out there,” he said, apparently playing off Senator John McCain’s reference to his conservative colleagues Ted Cruz, Rand Paul,...

Bill Clinton has his organization on the web collecting donations for the Haitian relief effort. But I am wondering, where is the official George Bush web site where one can make a donation for the Haitian relief effort? Sure, it might be too early to jump on this, but seriously, maybe it’s me but some may want to make a donation through the Bush channels, can someone show me where on the web that might be? “White House Taps Bush, Clinton to Help Lead Haiti Relief” (Fox News) – “...Bush will join up with former President Bill Clinton, who is...

NBC's Chuck Todd reported on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' this morning that Barack Obama called former President George W. Bush last night to ask him to co-lead relief efforts for earthquake victims in Haiti along with Bill Clinton.This would be in keeping with Bush asking Clinton and his father President George H. W. Bush to co-lead the relief efforts for the 2004 Sumatra tsunami.Todd said the White House may wait a few days to make the announcement.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush says Bill Clinton has become so close to his father that the Democratic former president is like a member of the family. Former President George Bush has worked with Clinton to raise money for victims of the Asian tsunami and the hurricane disaster along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Asked about his father and Clinton, Bush quipped, "Yes, he and my new brother." "That's a good relationship. It's a fun relationship to watch," Bush said in an interview with CBS News broadcast on Sunday. While attending Pope John Paul's funeral, Bush said, "It was...

Iraq's January 30 elections were a success. Iraqis braved the threat of violence and turned out at the polls. Pride in participating within Iraq was obvious; there was literally dancing in the streets. Back in the United States, however, the leadership of the party that calls itself by the name of "Democratic" seemed strangely unable to take any joy in a democratic moment of historic proportions. The morning after the election, John Kerry, the Democrats' most recent nominee for President, reacted by saying "no one in the United States should try to overhype this election". The day after that, Democratic...

AOL is running a comment "Which One is More Hated?" This is disgusting. There is no comparrison to the two. Bill Clinton is a known lier, cheat, oh, we could go on......And George Bush is finally giving back credability to the office. What is it with AOL?

INTELLIGENCE NEWSLETTER # 401 - 08/03/01 International Politics :  The U.S. Connection in Caucasus -----------------Ex-president Bill Clinton’s pardons-for-cash scandal is only the tip of an iceberg that reveals close connections between the Washington establishment and an international network of Russian mobsters. At the origin of the saga was the revelation by the National Enquirer that Hillary Clinton’s brother Hugh Rodham received some $400,000 for arranging last minute presidential pardons for two ex-convicts. From that starting point one can see the extent of common interests of the previous and new U.S. administrations concerning oil reserves in the Caucasus.Two years ago Hugh...
