Nancy Pelosi Clueless About ObamaCare  - The look on her face after being shown the first clip of her earlier, false assurances (at about the 1:00 mark)? Priceless.

If David Gregory were actually on top of it, he'd notice that she's arguing that nothing in the law requires that Americans' insurance policies be dropped . . . so is she throwing the Obama administration under the bus for interpreting the grandfather clause so narrowly? Ah, well, at least he's actually willing now to ask the tough questions that should have been asked before the law was passed.  Here's what I cannot decide about Nancy Pelosi: Is she faking cluelessness in order to dodge the tough questions, or is she truly that clueless? It's scary either way.

Dem Senator: ‘We All Knew’ Obama Was Lying - On Sunday, appearing on ABC’s This Week with fill-in host Martha Raddatz, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) admitted that Democrats knew full well that Americans would be booted from their health insurance plans as an effect of Obamacare implementation.   When asked whether Democrats were misled by President Obama about whether Americans would be able to keep their plans in the individual insurance market, Gillibrand answered: “He should’ve just been specific. No, we all knew.”   She added that the whole point of Obamacare was to “covering things people need, like preventive care, birth control, pregnancy.” The redistributive nature of Obamacare, Gillibrand stated, was the point of the program; anyone claiming ignorance, therefore, is not telling the truth.

Anonymous hacking group targeting government websites, FBI warns - The FBI is warning of a campaign by a mysterious Internet hacking group to breach numerous federal agencies’ computer systems and the resulting theft of thousands of people’s personal information. According to a memo obtained by Reuters hackers associated with Anonymous exploited a flaw in Adobe Systems’ ColdFusion software -- used to construct websites -- to accomplish the break-ins.  Among the affected agencies were the U.S. Army, Department of Energy and the Department of Health and Human Services, although the FBI memo reportedly warns the damage could be far more widespread.

Pennsylvania Town Gives Anti-Gun Mayor the Boot - Chambersburg, PA residents voted Mayor Pete Lagiovane (D) out of office on November 5th after he signed up to be part of former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns.  According to Salena Zito on RealClearPolitics.com, the anti-gun influence of Bloomberg made Chambersburg hunters and gun owners feel like they were under attack. And the combination of Bloomberg and “Washington [trying to regulate] gun ownership with more background checks” caused Chambersburg residents “to react in the only respectful way they know: [by voting] out of office those who are infringing on their way of life.”   Mayor-elect Darren Brown (R) says that once he is sworn into office in January 2014, “the very, very first thing [he'd] like to do is get Chambersburg off the [MAIG] list.”

Duck Dynasty’-backed candidate wins Louisiana congressional election - Vance McAllister, a political newcomer with the backing of the popular “Duck Dynasty” TV family, was elected as Louisiana’s newest member of Congress Saturday night.  According to the Louisiana Secretary of State’s website, McAllister led establishment candidate Neil Riser 59.7 percent to 40.3 percent — a difference of over 17,500 votes — with 976 of a possible 981 precincts reporting.   McAllister advanced to this weekend’s election to face off against Riser after an October contest with more than a dozen other candidates from both political parties — in what is known as a “jungle primary.”

Airborne Ranger, Afghan vet latest to oppose Graham - Another candidate announced his opposition to Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R.-S.C.) in the 2014 primary on Veterans Day at a Tea Party meeting at the Myrtle Beach Friendly’s Restaurant.  Graham’s support for President Barack Obama’s policies and his devious practice of sabotaging conservatives on Capitol Hill, while campaigning back home as a conservative, drove him to declare a campaign to unseat him, said Bill Connor, an Orangeburg attorney, who is married with three children.  “I am trying to bring back smaller government and constitutional government,” he said.
