Benghazi panel outs CIA source, then tries to cover its tracks
The Republican-led House Select Committee on Benghazi hastily deleted the name of a high-level Libyan defector from one of its public releases on Monday, shortly after Yahoo News reported the panel had inadvertently revealed the defector’s name in an effort to embarrass Hillary Clinton.

I want to see Trey Gowdy's emails.

Just rename it the House Committee on Baseless Speculation. #BenghaziCommittee - Lane Brooks

War On Black Churches Continues
The St. Louis Regional Bomb Unit and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating what they describe as a series of six arsons at predominately black churches in north city and county.

We shouldn't dredge up 9/11 and place blame, say the guys who are on their 78th and a 1/2 Benghazi investigation.- LOLGOP

Trump/Carson 2016?
Donald Trump and Ben Carson now stand alone at the top of the Republican field, as Carly Fiorina's brief foray into the top tier of candidates seeking the GOP nomination for president appears to have ended, a new CNN/ORC poll finds.

Jeb!: Florida Doesn't Like You!
For the first time, former Florida governor Jeb Bush has fallen into single digits in a home-state Republican primary poll that shows Donald Trump still in front, trailed by Ben Carson and Sen. Marco Rubio.
Jeb Bush’s 9-percent, fourth-place showing in the University of North Florida poll is his worst showing in any survey of likely Florida Republican voters.

The Bush Effect

___________________

Trump has figured out Jeb Bush's greatest weakness as a candidate, and it's not his energy level
I don't know if Donald Trump will win the Republican nomination. But even if he doesn't, it's increasingly clear he's going to destroy Jeb Bush before he loses.

The debate over whether George W. Bush is to blame for 9/11 is very unfair to Jeb, who is fully capable of harming the country in his own way.- Andy Borowitz

If 9/11 happened on Obama's watch, Jeb! would not being saying he kept us safe.- Tina Dupuy

Israeli Misguided Anger
The killing of an Eritrean man who was shot by a security guard and then beaten by an Israeli mob that mistook him for an Arab attacker has prompted soul-searching in Israel and raised concerns about racism and vigilantism amid a wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence.

Republican Shenanigans

Politicians who brag they've accepted Jesus as their savior generally just accept Him as their mascot. - John Fugelsang

Guns Laws Upheld
A federal appeals court on Monday upheld the core provisions of two gun control laws passed in New York and Connecticut after the 2012 mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School that banned possession of semiautomatic assault weapons.

Schools should not be gun-free zones; only Republican presidential debates and NRA conventions should be gun-free.- Tea Party Cat

Brooks made the comment in a recent interview with conservative talk radio host Matt Murphy on WAPI...

Someone needs to make a Clinton impeachment movie just for the bit where we find out what happened to the characters. - LOLGOP

I'm impressed that donors have contributed $20 million to Ben Carson when that money could have paid for a high-quality tin-foil dome.- Andy Borowitz

Hacking War Continues...

Federal authorities are reviewing the possible hack of personal email accounts connected to CIA Director John Brennan and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.

DNC officer: Chairwoman's statements 'flat out not true'

DNC officer: Chairwoman's statements 'flat out not true'
A vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) says the chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), did not consult others about the party's primary debate schedule, as she claims, and is questioning her leadership...“This is a chair of the Democratic Party wrongly stating that she consulted with all of the party officers. I was not consulted. I know that [Rep.] Tulsi Gabbard [D-Hawaii] was not consulted. And this is becoming about much more than debates.”

The fact that it isn't called the Bush Crash of 2008 is a testament to how much the right shapes our narratives.- LOLGOP

A mysterious disease has been sweeping through the sugar cane fields of Central America, with more than 20,000 laborers dying from it over the past decade.
