AUDIO: Connecticut Shooter Adam Lanza’s Phone Call Made 1 Year Before Sandy Hook Massacre

The New York Daily News recently obtained audio from a radio call Lanza reportedly made in which he compares the violent attack of a domesticated chimpanzee to “a teenage mall shooter.” The Daily News reported that the audio was confirmed to be Lanza by two people who knew him.

If it is in fact Lanza, he called to the University of Oregon’s radio station KWVA 88.1 FM on Dec. 11, 2011, and identified himself as “Greg.”

On the “Anarchy Radio” show hosted by John Zerzan, Lanza complimented Zeran’s writing and brought up what he called “an old news story…that seems relevant to your interests.” The topic was Travis the chimpanzee, a domesticated animal who lived with a family in Connecticut for more than a decade before he violently attacked a neighbor in 2009.

Crime study: Handguns, not 'assault rifles,' used in most mass shootings

Instead, according to James Alan Fox, author and criminology professor at Northeastern University, mass shootings have remained stagnant over 34 years, averaging 20 a year, and few were committed by the type of berserk psychos portrayed by the media. “Public discourse is grounded in myth and misunderstanding about the nature of the offense and those who perpetrate it,” he writes in the journal “Homicide Studies.” He added: “Without minimizing the pain and suffering of the hundreds of those who have been victimized in recent attacks, the facts clearly say that there has been no increase in mass shootings and certainly no epidemic.” Washington Examiner

The Benghazi Transcripts: Top Defense officials briefed Obama on ‘attack,’ not video or protest

Minutes after the American consulate in Benghazi came under assault on Sept. 11, 2012, the nation's top civilian and uniformed defense officials -- headed for a previously scheduled Oval Office session with President Obama -- were informed that the event was a "terrorist attack," declassified documents show. The new evidence raises the question of why the top military men, one of whom was a member of the president's Cabinet, allowed him and other senior Obama administration officials to press a false narrative of the Benghazi attacks for two weeks afterward.

U.S. war gains in Iraq now lost or threatened

A nation once seen as a great hope in the Middle East is unraveling, as al-Qaeda sinks its teeth in, and a bloodied America wonders what could have been. The cities of Fallujah and Ramadi captured this past week by al-Qaeda had been liberated during the Iraq war in the bloodiest combat U.S. troops had seen since Vietnam. The victory left the Iraqi insurgency beaten and humiliated in Anbar province, the heart of the Sunni Muslim homeland that Osama bin Laden himself had claimed would be a graveyard for the hated Americans. If al-Qaeda reasserts control of Anbar, it will be able to boast of defeating the "Great Satan" while establishing a haven from which to make more trouble: pouring fighters into Syria, threatening the borders of Lebanon and Jordan, and linking up with insurgents in Arab Gulf nations friendly to the United States. That would have provided a base from which to strike al-Qaeda in its backyard and counter Iranian influence in the region, analysts say. Case in point: The United States still has 40,000 troops in Japan and 54,000 in Germany a half-century after World War II ended. U.S. commanders under Obama recommended keeping 20,000 troops in what was deemed a more volatile area of the world. Commanders said a robust troop presence would help Iraqi forces keep a lid on violence and allow the U.S. to keep tabs on al-Qaeda. Obama rejected the idea, Kagan said.

Stop Government, Promote Jobs, Marcellus Shale, Natural Gas

You have seen firsthand the benefits that Marcellus Shale gas production has brought to Pennsylvania. It is supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs — something that’s being felt in every corner of the state. Now, Pennsylvania is considering new regulations that contain some provisions that could have a negative impact on industry operations. Energy Citizens need to speak up and let regulators know that they support environmental safeguards, but there needs to be a balance between environmental protection and industry development. Tell Pennsylvania regulators that you support natural gas development! Changes to Pennsylvania regulations governing oil and gas drilling could have a huge impact. Since 2008, the natural gas industry has paid over $1.7 billion in taxes to the state. It has provided over $400 million in revenue to communities throughout Pennsylvania through the natural gas impact fee. And, of course, it is supporting good-paying jobs that didn’t exist before Marcellus Shale production began. Energy citizens.org

Regime Admits Islamists of Al Qaeda Behind Benghazi

For the first-time ever today, the U.S. State Department identified specific Islamisterrorist groups behind the deadly attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. The official announcement comes one day before the 16-month anniversary of the eight-hour assault that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens, information specialist Sean Smith and Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. It also further exposes as false the Obama administration’s “cover story” that the terror attacks were a spontaneous response to an obscure anti-Muslim video. Here’s an excerpt from today’s statement: "Ansar al-Shari'a in Benghazi and Ansar al-Shari'a in Darnah have been involved in terrorist attacks against civilian targets, frequent assassinations, and attempted assassinations of security officials and political actors in eastern Libya, and the September 11, 2012 attacks against the U.S. Special Mission and Annex in Benghazi, Libya." What may be even worse is that the State Department also says, "Members of both organizations continue to pose a threat to U.S. interests in Libya." So, not only is no one in custody 16 months after the murderous assault, but those same terrorists STILL “pose a threat.” The State Department identified two of those terrorists in their announcement today. According to FOX News, one of them “has historic ties to the Al Qaeda network” and even trained under Osama bin Laden.

EXCLUSIVE–REP BRIDENSTINE: OBAMA’S POLITICS OF WAR CANNOT CONTINUE IN AFGHANISTAN

As a Navy pilot who flew combat missions in Afghanistan (2002) and Iraq (2003) and now as a Member of Congress, I cannot react to the news of Al Qaeda in Iraq’s resurgence in Fallujah and Ramadi with anything but frustration and anger. Frustration – because so much American blood was spilled wresting these cities from insurgents. Anger – because the Obama Administration put ideology and politics above the national interest. Our policy in Afghanistan must be more responsible than our policy in Iraq.

Al Qaeda controls more territory than ever in Middle East

(CNN) -- From around Aleppo in western Syria to small areas of Falluja in central Iraq, al Qaeda now controls territory that stretches more than 400 miles across the heart of the Middle East, according to English and Arab language news accounts as well as accounts on jihadist websites. Indeed, al Qaeda appears to control more territory in the Arab world than it has done at any time in its history.

That’s rich: Poverty level under Obama breaks 50-year record

The Washington Times

Fifty years after President Johnson started a $20 trillion taxpayer-funded war on poverty, the overall percentage of impoverished people in the U.S. has declined only slightly and the poor have lost ground under Obama.


Although the president often rails against income inequality in America, his policies have had little impact overall on poverty. A record 47 million Americans receive food stamps, about 13 million more than when he took office.

Gates on Billary: Thumbs down on Iraq

In a new memoir of his time as secretary of defense in the Obama administration, Gates writes: “Hillary told the president that her opposition to the [2007] surge in Iraq had been political because she was facing him in the Iowa primary. . . . The president conceded vaguely that opposition to the Iraq surge had been political. To hear the two of them making these admissions, and in front of me, was as surprising as it was dismaying.”

Robert Gates, former defense secretary, offers harsh critique of Obama’s leadership in ‘Duty’

In a new memoir, former defense secretary Robert Gates unleashes harsh judgments about President Obama’s leadership and his commitment to the Afghanistan war, writing that by early 2010 he had concluded the president “doesn’t believe in his own strategy, and doesn’t consider the war to be his. For him, it’s all about getting out.”

Ian Hunter: Mick Ralphs talks Mott The Hoople, Bowie and blouses

I'd sung Ready For Love in Mott already because Ian [Hunter], bless him, said, 'I love those songs but they don't suit my voice,' which I completely understand.


"With the Mott thing, it took four years from 2009 to 2013 to get them to do it again. Me and Ian wanted to do more, but at the time the other guys weren't sure. So whether we do anything after this I've no idea. I've never had a plan - it was just to try and get with the people you like to play with, and try to do the best you can. So I've really no idea what's going to happen next year, whether there's going to be more Mott or more Bad Company. But I'm sure my blues band will still be filling in the gaps!"
