What’s interesting in the news today?

First up, something that will make you say “hmmmmm….”

From TheBlaze  “The Obama administration is “changing names” of the Benghazi survivors and “creating aliases” to keep them hidden from congressional investigators and the American people, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) told Greta Van Susteren on Thursday night. He also said the administration is “dispersing them around the country” to keep them out of sight.”

“Gowdy’s stunning claims were overshadowed by CNN’s bombshell report that revealed there were “dozens” of CIA operatives on the ground in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, the night of the deadly attack that killed four Americans. Meanwhile, the CIA is taking “unprecedented” to keep whatever it was doing in Benghazi a secret, according to the report.

“Stop and think what things are most calculated to get at the truth? Talk to people with first-hand knowledge. What creates the appearance and perhaps the reality of a cover-up?” Not letting us talk with people who have the most amount of information, dispersing them around the country and changing their names,” Gowdy said.

Good thing this a “phony scandal” and not a real. Otherwise this might look bad. 🙄

Next up, of course he did. Your elite rulers and staff don’t need to worry about their healthcare costs rising. That’s just for us commoners.

From WhiteHouseDossier  “The Obama administration has granted members of Congress and their staffers an exemption from a provision of Obamacare that could have cost them thousands of dollars a year in added health insurance costs, according to Politico.”

“Congress currently allots itself generous health coverage through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Nearly 75 percent of premiums are taken care of. But under Obamacare, our representatives and their worker bees will be thrown onto the health care exchanges like millions of Americans – without the FEHB subsidy. Fair is fair, right?”

No. They’re special.

Here’s one you’ll like. The prosecutor’s office in the George Zimmerman case is being sued by the man who blew the whistle on prosecutorial misconduct and evidence tampering. Sweet.

From FoxNews The former information technology director for Florida State Attorney Angela  Corey is reportedly suing for wrongful termination.

Jacksonville.com reports that Ben Kruidbos sued Corey’s office Thursday,  claiming he was illegally fired in June following his testimony that prosecutors  did not submit all information to George Zimmerman’s defense team in the  shooting death of Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012.”

“Kruidbos, according to the lawsuit, could not be fired for testifying in a  judicial proceeding in response to a subpoena. It also claims that the firing  was retaliation for his testimony in the Zimmerman case.”

And lastly, some more good news. 🙂

From NationalReview Quinnipiac is out today with a national poll on a broad array of issues. One of the issues they polled was a 20-week limit on abortion, which has been in the spotlight between the House’s passage of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, and Wendy Davis’ infamous filibuster and the subsequent passage of a 20-week limit in Texas.”

Women (60 percent) are 10 points more likely to back the 20-week limit than men (50 percent).

Hispanics back the 20-week limit by a 39-point margin, 59 percent to 20 percent.

Young people (18-29) back the 20-week limit by a 27-point margin, 55 percent to 28 percent.”
