The it culminated in an attack that killed tyrone davis and glenn dougherty. What i read is the now official position of the u. S. Government filed in u. S. District court by the department of justice and a motion to detain the one defendant who has been captured and will stand trial. 20 or more men, the weapons of war arsons and sustained attacks, precision mortars terrorist groups. It is interesting note the word terrorist so rarely used after benghazi by people in position of powers used in the very word charging the very defendant accused of killing our four fellow americans.

Bill de blasio. Tensions mounting fall being the ambush killings of two new York City Police officers. Behavior prompting action from the Police Commissioner and former mayor rudy giuliani. Listen to this. Dont support that particular activity. I dont think it was appropriate particularly in that setting but reflective of the anger some of em. I dont think they should have turned their back. The mayor deserves respect no matter who he is, the office does but i can understand their emotion and maybe if i were then done the same thing.

Wealthie iesiest americans. The speakers box. Then, falling off the fiscal cliff, a tumble that would shake the world with International Monetary fund chief kristine lagarde. The real threat at the moment is here with us. What happened if nothing happens with mark zandi, jackie calmes. Politically, the speaker is playing with a weaker hand than the president. The pressure is higher on him, and his critics are louder, too. Just need boehner to go along with raising the rates and thats it. Republican party is finished. He is selling out our children right now with these massive tax increases, and thats his starting bid. He is saying here is 800 billion, now will you sit down with, us a obama .
