Defense Secretary Slips Up, Reveals Obama Admin LED IRAN Straight to Our Sailors
It doesn’t matter if “the 3 a.m. phone call” comes in the middle of the day. Not only will the Obama administration not answer it, but they’ll aid our enemies instead.
First came the fact that President Barack Obama refused to address the arrest of 10 of our sailors by the Iranian military after their boats had mechanical trouble at sea. Then came news that the Obama administration had offered the Iranians an apology for the release of the sailors.
Now comes the disturbing revelation, apparently delivered by Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, that the Obama administration tipped off the Iranians that our soldiers were lost at sea and requested their aid.
The news came from Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, during an interview on TheBlaze’s Dana Loesch shortly after Iran’s arrest of the sailors had come to light.
“I understand that (Secretary of State) John Kerry has indicated, look, when he got word, he and Ash Carter called the Iranians to help take care of our Navy guys, because they had some mechanical problems,” Gohmert said.
I’ll give you a second to pick your jaw off the floor.
“When our Navy ships have problems, we don’t call Iran. We call the rest of the Navy. We can call the Air Force, the Army, the Marines, Coast Guard. We don’t call Iran,” Gohmert said.
He also took a swipe at Kerry’s closeness with Iranian officials, noting how the former Democrat presidential nominee had the son of Iran’s foreign minister as the best man at his daughter’s wedding.
“But I guess, you know, if you have relatives that have weddings that involve the people that are in charge in Iran, well, maybe you feel that comfortable,” Gohmert said. “But you know, Dana, there are secrets on every military ship we have … that has no business being in the hands of the Iranians.”
This rot starts at the top — and if Barack Obama can apologize to Iran, he can also apologize to the American people.

You have probably heard that her emails included several that were tagged “SAP”, which is “Special Access Program”. This means there is an exclusionary list of who is allowed to see the info, regardless of their security clearance. In 1987 I participated in a program that was classified Secret – SAP, and I still can’t talk about details. Even those with Top Secret clearance did not have access. These particular emails of Hillary’s were Top Secret – SAP, because they concerned black ops, names of operatives (Holy Mission Impossible, Batman!), etc. And they were put on a private server.

But, hey — the Obama administration has given the Iranians everything else via the Iran deal, why not give them Navy secrets, as well?
This shows just how derelict the Obama administration was in its duty. Not only did they apologize to the Iranians, they actively delivered our sailors into the clutches of their military.This rot starts at the top — and if Barack Obama can apologize to Iran, he can also apologize to the American people.

BTW, just last night I heard on Fox that her original disclaimer was “I never sent or received any classified emails”. She then modified it to “I never sent or received any emails marked ‘Classified’”. This is more disingenuous [in place of an out-and-out lie], because items are either marked “NOT CLASSIFIED”, or by their level of classification -- such as “Confidential”, “Secret”, or “Top Secret – SAP”. NOW she is claiming that sometimes aids forwarded the emails to her, and they often cut off all the info at the top. Typical Clinton tactic: blame an underling.
And these unnamed underlings have Top Secret – SAP clearance?!? Yeah, in this administration – it could happen.

Find Out How Much Obamacare Rates Increased in Your State
Premiums under the Affordable Care Act will rise in nearly every state this year, spiking health insurance costs for nearly all Americans, according to a new report.
All states, with the exception of Mississippi, saw the cost of health insurance premiums increase for 2016. And in most states, Americans using Obamacare’s individual marketplace to purchase insurance saw premium costs rise by double digits.
Freedom Partners, a nonprofit organization advocating free markets and limited government, reported that four states—Minnesota, Alaska, Tennessee, and Hawaii—will be hit with average premium increases of 30 percent or more. Another 17 states will see spikes of at least 20 percent.
Nathan Nascimento, the group’s senior policy adviser, said a “sicker risk pool” coupled with Obamacare’s “onerous and crushing mandates” caused the across-the-board hikes.
“In many states, insurers are finding increased costs and burdensome mandates under the law to be unsustainable, and are exiting the marketplace altogether,” Nascimento told The Daily Signal, adding:
Others are facing a variety of harmful side effects of Obamacare, with young, healthy people opting out of coverage or finding their plans unaffordable and dropping out before the end of the year.
This state-by-state chart summarizes the group’s findings:
