Have you ever heard the term 'Benghazi?'

Not a surprise, the average voter not only doesn't have a clue about the IRS, AP and Benghazi scandals, some don't know who the Vice President is. This is O'Reilly's man on the street.

Must-See Video: Car Crash Sends Vehicle into Residential Swimming Pool

This was caught on video


A car going the wrong way on A-1-A in Fort Lauderdale crashed into a parked car, pushing it into a pool.

Surveillance cameras were rolling when the car crashed into a white car, which then splashed into the pool.

Sarah Ahlstrom, who rented the crashed car, said she was in her room and heard what sounded like an explosion.

"She hit the back of my car so hard that it went up and nose-dived into the shallow end," Ahlstrom said. Sarah's car sank to the bottom of the pool before it was pulled out. The driver of the car was taken to the hospital

Incredible video. Watch

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew Says He Learned Of IG Report in March

So, Jack Lew learned the 'substance' of the IG report last Friday when it hit the news, but Lew had a 'get to know you' conversation with the Inspector General in March and the IG went through a 'number of items/matters they were working on' and presto, one of those items was the 501(c)3 issue. When he learned the details, of course then he was outraged.

Al Hunt asks him a direct question here, did Tim Geithner know? Did the WH counsel know? Lew doesn't answer. Hunt asks again.

HUNT: We’re going to get to larger economic questions in a little bit, but first the IRS, which reports to Treasury. When were you first notified that IRS agents were targeting conservative groups like the Tea Party?

LEW: Al, I learned the substance of this report last Friday when it became a matter of public knowledge. Before that, in mid March, I had had a conversation, just a getting-to-know-you conversation, with the inspector general right after I started, and he went through a number of items that were matters they were working on. And the topic of a project on the 501c3 issue was one of the things he briefed me was ongoing.

I didn’t know any of the details of it until last Friday. When I learned about it – from the moment I learned about it, I was outraged.

General Dempsey: Russian Missile Shipment to Syria May Embolden Assad

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Martin Dempsey responds to a reported today that said Russia has sent advanced anti-ship cruise missiles to Syria

 Dempsey is concerned that the anti-ship missile transfer could aid regime and prolong the conflict;

It's 'ill-timed and very unfortunate,' Dempsey terms decision

ynet

A Russian shipment of anti-ship missiles to Syria could embolden President Bashar Assad's forces and prolong the conflict, the top US military officer said on Friday.

"It's at the very least an unfortunate decision that will embolden the regime and prolong the suffering, so it's ill-timed and very unfortunate," General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at the Pentagon.

Dempsey said he was referring specifically to the anti-ship missiles, which Reuters reported earlier on Friday had been sent by Russia to Syria.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the recent visit of State Secretary John Kerry to Russia was motivated by these issues, and to try and find a common ground to solve the volatile situation. "What's happening there, everybody knows, is very, very dangerous. And what we don't want to see happen, the Russians don't want to see happen, is for Syria to erupt to the point where we may well find a regional war in the Middle East," Hagel said.

Allen West Hired as Fox News Contributor

Awesome.

washingtonpost reported:

Former congressman Allen West has found a new home on Fox News, where he has been signed on as a contributor.

“Representative West’s congressional and military experience along with his fearless approach to voicing key issues will provide a valuable point of view to the FOX News lineup,” Fox News Vice President Bill Shine said in a statement. West served in the army before running for Congress in 2010.

After serving one term in Congress, West lost last fall to Democrat Patrick Murphy. He announced in January that he would not run in 2014 for the Palm Beach-area House seat. Instead he has pivoted to the media world, hosting a show for the conservative web site Pajamas Media, “Next Generation TV.”

42% Think Justice Department Trying to Bully Media in AP Case

Shouldn't this number be much higher?

38% say the Justice Dept. was acting on concerns for national security? What?

Voters are closely divided over whether the U.S. Justice Department’s secret seizure of telephone records from the Associated Press was an effort to protect national security or an attempt to bully the media.  

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 42% think the Justice Department’s actions were chiefly an effort to intimidate the media. But nearly as many (38%) think Justice was primarily acting out of a concern for national security. Twenty percent (20%) are not sure

Here is how the question was worded in the survey. It was the choice of 2 options

2* As part of an ongoing investigation into news leaks of national security information, the Justice Department secretly obtained phone records from the Associated Press news organization. Were the Justice Department’s actions primarily an attempt to intimidate the media or primarily out of concern for national security?

When you have 38% thinking Justice secretly monitoring  phone records of the Associated Press is because of national security, my guess is, most people here don't have a clue about the story and are just tossing out one of the 2 answers. That's the only thing that could explain the results of this survey.
