Hillary Clinton Donates College Speaking Fees to… The Clinton Foundation

Hillary Clinton defends $200G speaking fee for colleges: it goes to charity  " ‘All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and life-saving work,’ says Clinton. "

American Glob
"How do Democrats run on income inequality after this? How do Democrats address the student loan debt crisis after this?

"All the liberal headlines on this story over the weekend were completely dishonest. They all attempted to downplay Hillary’s ridiculously large college speaking fees with a title that said she had donated all of her speaking fees to charity.

"They failed to mention that the name of the charity was the Clinton Foundation.

"Ann Althouse caught it…"

Behind that “Hillary Clinton Says She’s Donated All University Speaking Fees” headline.
I didn’t bother clicking through when I saw that running as the top headline all day yesterday. It was the 4th of July, and when I think of the 4th of July, I don’t wonder what’s the latest on the Clintons. But now it’s the 5th of July, and that headline — which has left quite the impression by now — is still reigning atop Memeorandum.
Finally reading it, I’m irritated at Hillary and outraged at the new media outlets who put the headline in that form, which is missing the fact that flips the story: Hillary Clinton donates the money to her own foundation.

America the Beautiful

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez
Christopher Brownwell   " After the presidential election of 2012, my enthusiasm for America has been tempered.  Since my countrymen choose the subservient chains of a sheltered tyranny over the wild adventure of emancipating liberty the colors of the flag lost their luster.  The honor of service was stripped of its joy.  My countrymen are turning America into something ugly.  I didn't love America anymore because America was no longer lovely.  But, I wanted to love America again.

This personal melancholy remained with me until yesterday.  Now, I have a renewed love for my country, and a resurrected sense of honor for our godly heritage.  This re-birthed patriotism began in an unlikely place.  I walked into a movie theatre where the choices included such movies like Tammy (one reviewer from the New York Observer gave it zero stars).  I placed my money on the counter and purchased a ticket to Dinesh D'Souza's movie America: Imagine the World Without Her.  D'Souza refuted the arguments by Progressive ideologues that America is the epitome of evil in the world.  He highlighted the things that made this country admirable.  He exposed the lies and the liars, but the tone of the movie was hopeful.  He drew a portrait of America that is beautiful.

America has something for everyone to admire.  Blacks, Indians, immigrants, and patriots all will find something to love about America.  One such example comes from the post-Civil War South.  The first female self-made millionaire was Sarah Breedlove, known as Madam C.J. Walker.  This black woman was the daughter of Louisiana sharecroppers.  She saw a need in the community where poor diet caused women's hair to fall out.  She adapted her knowledge of hair and hair care products to market cosmetics that allowed women to take care of their hair and their dignity.  Her entrepreneurial spirit generated wealth like no other black woman had done before her.  She was an admired philanthropist and trained many other women how to build and manage their own businesses.  She accomplished all this before Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson arrived on the scene to inform the Black community just how horribly they have it.

There are thousands, maybe millions, of beautiful stories like these in America just waiting to be told.  Write them.  Tell them.  Live them.

 America is beautiful, but she is beginning to believe the lies of the Left that she is ugly.  Pray for her; protect her with your vote; hold her public servants accountable, and remember that we live in the greatest, most beautiful nation God has ever formed.

Families of Murdered Boys Continue to Inspire the Nation

United with Israel
three murdered boys
 
"During both visits, parents Avi and Rachel Frankel demonstrated remarkable strength and dignity of the highest order.

"On Sunday, the visitors had arrived to offer material and emotional support, yet the Frankel parents managed to comfort their guests, inspiring them with their grace and sensitivity. A grandmother, too, exemplified fortitude and elegance and even escorted the group to their car.
"On Thursday, while experiencing any parent’s worst nightmare, Rachel and Avi received flocks of concerned visitors with kindness and courtesy. Rachel, sporting her winning smile, albeit a sad smile, managed to ask about the well-being of those who approached her, seeming genuinely interested in knowing who they were and what they had to say.

"United with Israel joins the entire Nation of Israel as well as Jews and friends around the world in praying for the souls of the innocent boys. May these outstanding families be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem."

This next is so angering and saddening. I truly hope you will see no Israelis rejoicing over the terrible fate of this Muslim boy; no Jews are likely to be seen passing out sweets to celebrate what was done to this young teen.
I cannot feel good about thoughts that "Well, this boy would just grow up to be a terrorist someday"; all I see is a childish face and the son of a family who loved him and want him back with them.

Perhaps -just perhaps- his was a family that did not want him to grow up to be a suicide bomber, a "martyr", who would kill as many innocent non-Muslim families as possible.

With all this in mind, let us condemn this brutal murder and those savages who committed it.
