    Here’s some information about a place, I predict, will be in the news in the next few weeks or months…and not for their entertainment packages.

      If things keep going as they have been, me thinks that ISIS will have a nice large air conditioned building and grounds to plot further expansion at our expense.

    Redistribution of public money to Hollywood. Which also owns or at least is aligned with, main stream media. Embassy security does not win a news cycle. MSM does. Want as much good feelings as possible prior to 16 election. Might also be a signal that; see you’ll still earn money, net neutrality won’t hurt you.
