[Daily Caller] Liberal pundits slammed President Donald Trump's handling of protests at the U.S. embassy in Iraq and suggested it will consume his presidency in the same way the Benghazi scandal did the Obama administration. Scandal? In the Obama administration?
MSNBC pundit Joy Reid and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut were among a handful of people who suggested the protest is a result of the president's lack of leadership. A progressive military veteran group also taunted the president over the protests.
The coordinated terrorist attack on the facility in Benghazi, Libya in 2012 culminated in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and U.S. government personnel Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. However -
Unlike Benghazi, no deaths have been reported so far in the Tuesday protests at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq.

No deaths, the defenders at the embassy reinforced with more Marines, 82nd Airborne getting ready to deploy.
Yeah.... just like Bengazhi where they were abandoned and left to die.
[FOX] Music icon Linda Ronstadt blasted President Trump in a recent interview, comparing him to Adolf Hitler and claiming that under his presidency, "Mexicans are the new Jews."
In the CNN sitdown, Ronstadt revealed her supranuclear palsy diagnosis had become "a strain" on her family relations, particularly with Republican relatives in Tuscon, Arizona.
"Instead of talking about that, we'd sing together, we'd have a great time," Ronstadt said.
"Singing is what brought your family together," CNN anchor Anderson Cooper replied. "Yeah," she chuckled.
"So, now that you don't have singing..." Cooper followed.
"Now, I have to be careful because we've had so much taken away from us by this administration that I'm not willing to let them take my family relationships away," Ronstadt continued. "My family -- the parts that are Republican were fairly rational Republicans. We don't have that in our current White House."

...she wasn’t diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease until 2013. She lives with a form of parkinsonism called progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative brain disorder that affects your balance, walking, coordination, speech and eye movement and doesn’t respond to Parkinson’s disease medications. She stopped performing in 2009. from The Mighty. She might have a few health problems that affect her outlook and opinions--just sayin.
The left parades our this Hitler canard to use on Pubs and conservatives whenever they disagree with policy. It was used liberally on George W. Mexicans have done well in this economy under Trump.
Also, why didn't she do a full body makeover after that extended date with gov moonbeam in Africa so many decades ago.... (makeover as that much steel wool would have hurt badly).

It hasn’t occurred to any of them that they can still sing together, even if Ms Ronstadt can’t anymore? That should be her legacy to them, which she can enjoy seeing while still fairly lucid. The Republicans should plot to distract her by asking her how to sing something when she becomes difficult, then they could work on it until she is satisfied and has forgotten whatever she was ranting about.
[FOX] One of the most vocal pro-impeachment Democratic voices on Capitol Hill said the "genesis" of President Trump's impeachment began long before the Ukraine scandal.
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, one of the first lawmakers to push for Trump's impeachment, appeared on MSNBC on Monday and was confronted about the president, and how his allies have weaponized Green's outspokenness against Democrats.
"Political expediency and insincerity -- those are two charges that have been leveled against Democrats during this entire affair, particularly since September when the formal impeachment inquiry started, and you play a starring role in those charges," MSNBC host Chris Hayes said to Green.
"The argument goes like this of House Republicans and Trump and his allies: the Democrats wanted to impeach Donald Trump from day one, they cast about looking for a set of facts that they could plausibly use to do it, and all of it was pretextual and reverse-engineered to get to this point, and Exhibit One: Congressman Al Green, who [has] been calling for the man's impeachment for two years now," Hayes said. "What's your response to that charge?"
Green didn't deny the charge being made against him.
[American Thinker] Please forgive my cynicism, but Bernie Sanders’ "response" to the recent stabbing attack at a rabbi’s home in New York strikes me as political opportunism rather than sincere expression of a genuine emotion, considering his track record. According to the Washington Post (in 2016) Sanders was hoping to become "one of the few modern presidents to present himself as non-religious," which seems more believable than Sanders donning a kippah and using a blowtorch to light the final candle on a public menorah commemorating the final day of Hanukkah.
During his candle-lighting speech Bernie allegedly told the crowd, "If there is ever a time in American history to say no to religious bigotry, this is the time. If there was ever a time we say no to divisiveness, this is that moment." Now I’m not Jewish personally (well, about as much of a Jew as Bernie), but there is a Yiddish word that I believe describes this despicable behavior: chutzpah.
He’s appropriating a tragedy and heinous crime for his own personal political advantage. It is extremely difficult to believe Sanders suddenly cares about religious freedom, isn’t it? Or has everyone conveniently forgotten about Russell Vought’s extraordinarily contentious confirmation hearing in which Sanders seemed to be applying a religious litmus test to disqualify Vought as director of the Office of Management and Budget?
Bernie Sanders is right about one thing: it is horribly wrong for Jewish people to be targeted because of their religion. Not only is it wrong, it is evil. It’s a pity that Bernie also couldn’t join me in the condemnation of the shooting at the church in Fort Worth. In my cynicism I’m having trouble deciding whether Bernie’s silence is due to the fact the intended victims were Christians, or more likely because they had guns and were able to slay the gunman after one man in the congregation deliberately stood and moved to draw his concealed weapon in order to attract the gunman’s attention and fire, becoming the first victim in the process.
