Edward Klein made quite a few headlines with his tell-all “The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House” in 2012. But his new book, “Blood Feud,” expands things, dishing on what he claims is a jealous relationship between the Clintons and the Obamas — and why the prickly pals, for lack of apparently no warmer term, may make the 2016 presidential campaign quite a roller coater ride.

Obama CAUGHT In Illegal Alien Conspiracy At The Mexican Border That Helps PROVE Administration Involved In Benghazi Video
The recent massive influx of illegal aliens from Mexico into U.S. border states is confirmed to be a community organizing operation out of the White House. As far back as January, the Obama administration was advertising for “escort services for unaccompanied alien children”. This proves a conspiracy at the Obama administration level, which also adds probable cause to the case that the administration was involved in the creation and viral nature of the anti-Muhammad video it blamed for the Benghazi attacks.

U.S. Representative Calls for the Elimination of Boko Haram
In remarks following a recent trip to Nigeria, Representative Chris Smith (R) (NJ-4) called for the immediate cessation of Boko Haram. A radical Islamic insurgency, Boko Haram was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the Department of State in November of 2013, in large part as result of the work of Rep. Smith's Sub-committee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations. Boko Haram has, for years, perpetrated a campaign of terror against Christians, moderate Muslims, educators and government and military personnel in an effort to establish a separate Islamic state in the nation's north.

They said, "a calorie is a calorie," but not all calories are equal. They're not equal because they vary in effects in your weight and health. Each food is metabolized differently by your body, for energy and fat storage. There are a lot of confusing ideas, hearsay or factual information about counting calories.
