Mr. Paul said that the White House’s refusal to comment on the Beyoncé crisis “only serves the argument that this President has something to hide.”
“If Beyoncé lip-synched the national anthem, how do we know President Obama didn’t lip-sync his oath of office?” he said. “If that’s the case, he’s not legally President. But just to be on the safe side, he should resign anyway.”
Mr. Paul also blasted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her testimony on Benghazi before the Senate today: “Her tactic of answering each and every question we asked her didn’t fool anyone.”

Parents Reminded For Assaulting By Pouring Hot Charcoal On Son

Parent reminded for assaulting son with hot charcoal.
 Also, an Oshogbo Magistrate Court has ordered that the parents of a 12-years-old boy, David Ajibade, be reminded in prison custody for allegedly pouring hot charcoal on the boy.
David’s 49-years-old father, Elkannah Ajibade, and his wive, Eliabeth, were arraigned for allegedly tying David up and pouring hot charcoal on him as a deterrent for attending a church’s vigil.
The charge sheet obtained by our correspondence on Friday explained that the offence was committed on 2, 2013, in Okinni community of Egbedore Local Government Area of the state. Specifically, the court was told that the couple allegedly tied-up the hands and feet of David while they poured the hot charcoal on his body.
Police prosecutor  sergeant Elisha Olusegun, said the boy was thrown out of the house after he was bathed with charcoal, adding that a good Samaritan took him to a juvenile centre.
Olusegun said the parents were arrested after the boy was brought to the juvenile centre, adding that the offence was punishable under section 516, 335 and 351 of the Criminal Code, Cap 34, Laws of Osun State of Nigeria, 2003.
Both parents pleaded not guilty to charge of conspiracy and causing bodily harm. Their lawyer, Mr. O.O Alabi, applied for court that the accused persons would provide reliable sureties and would not jump bail. But the Magistrate, Mr. Adebayo Lasisi, refused the bail application, ordering that both parents be reminded in Ilesa prison.
Lasisi also ordered that the boy should be brought to court on January 25 –the next adjourned day. He also said the boy’s appearance in court would provide an opportunity to ascertain his condition.
