Less Than 24 Hours After Obama Took Cuba off Terror List a Terror Group Sponsored by Cuba Kills 10

On the very day after Obama took Cuba off the list of state sponsors of terrorism, a terrorist group that for decades has been sponsored and funded by Cuba killed 10 soldiers in Colombia. So much for Cuba’s innocence.

Cuba has been funding and training members of the terror group FARC since the 1960s and this is one of the big reasons that Cuba has been on the US list of state sponsors of terrorism. But Obama is now trying to open relations with Cuba so he has taken Cuba off that list in a purely political move not in one that reflects whether or not Cuba has stopped exporting terror.

Obama Covered Up Truth and Illegally Hampered Investigation Into White House Staffer’s Prostitution Charges

Back in 2012 you might recall that the Secret Service got caught up in a prostitution scandal during a Presidential visit to Cartagena, Colombia. Now we find out an even greater truth about the scandal. A White House aide and the son of an influential Democrat was also caught up in the pros scandal but Obama covered it up and pressured the Inspector General to ignore the facts.

The White House aide is named Jonathan Dach. He had the Secret Service deliver prostitutes to his hotel room during the visit. White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler “investigated” Dach but her entire “investigation” amounted to “asking” Dach if he was guilty. He said no and they left it at that despite that the Secret Service had presented a mound of evidence to the contrary.

Ruemmler has even been quoted as saying that she wanted to stop any investigation cold.

One senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information, said Ruemmler believed it would be a “real scandal” if she had sent “a team of people to Colombia to investigate a volunteer over something that’s not a criminal act…. That would be insane.”

Then, when members of the Inspector General’s investigative team balked at this characterization of Dach’s involvement by White House staffers and when the IG bristled at the White House demands that the investigation be delayed until after the 2012 elections, Obama had members of the team put on administrative leave as punishment.

Kinzinger Votes to Cut $4 Billion to Keep Government Open, Urges Obama to Act on Trade

March 2, 2011 by

From the office of Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger (11th District)…

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Adam Kinzinger (IL-11) released the following statement on today’s bipartisan House vote to cut $4 billion in government spending and keep the government open through March 18, 2011.

“Today, the House passed legislation that cuts $4 billion in wasteful spending and will keep the government running for another two weeks. It is high time that we cut up the government’s credit cards and draw a hard line to stop the government from overspending which is hampering job creation.

“However, two weeks worth of spending cuts is simply not enough to sustain our economy, which is why ten days ago, the House passed H.R. 1, legislation that would fund the government through the end of the 2011 Fiscal Year.
