With the Clintons, the political scandals never stop

NY Post  “ 'Drip, drip, drip” — so US District Judge Emmett Sullivan described the constant trickle of disclosures on Hillary Clinton’s email.
“When does it stop?” he demanded.
"With the Clintons, it never does. Ever.
"It’s not that they invite scandal. They greet it at the door, give it a seat by the fire, beg it to stay for a few more rounds and then crash on the couch — or in the Lincoln Bedroom.
"After two presidents who’ve served beyond personal reproach, many Americans have forgotten the eight-year stream of Clinton scandals — right up to the pardons for fat-cat donors in Bill’s final days in the White House. If Hillary wins come November, it’ll all start up again.
"Indeed, Judge Sullivan just ensured that she’d take office with at least one investigation still open." . . .

Weasel Of The Week!! – 02/25/16

Noisy Room  "Yes, once again, It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!
Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were all slimy and despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner… the envelope please…"
Twitter CEO And Anti-Free Speech Gauleiter Jack Dorsey!!
Nice Deb: I’m going to nominate Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for saying in extreme weasel-like fashion, that “Twitter stands for freedom of expression, speaking truth to power, and empowering dialogue. That starts with safety.”
His emphasis was on “safety” (for special SSW snowflakes) over freedom of expression, truth to power, etc.
With the company’s decision to appoint an Orwellian “Trust and Safety Council,” freedom of expression and the ability to speak truth to power has already come under assault.
Dorsey appointed assorted lefties and Social Justice Warriors like Anita Sarkeesian to be on the council and it hasn’t taken them long to use it as a platform to go after critics of feminism:
Sarkeesian’s critics accuse her of using claims of online harassment to discredit her critics and get them kicked off of services like—you guessed it—Twitter. So when Sarkeesian and the “dangerous speech” types got appointed as Twitter’s speech police, there was reason to think they’re going to turn Twitter into a university-style “safe space” where “safety” is assured by removing advocates of opposing ideas.
 But wait! There's more! . . .

A Response to the Millennial Who Thinks She's Entitled to Everything


Mark Griswold   "By now, most people are probably aware of the latest stupidity trending on social media.  If not, to briefly recap, on Friday, a spoiled brat named Talia Jane flipped her boss the bird via an open letter on Medium.com and, surprise of surprises, got the axe.  Unfortunately, the idiocy in this nation has reached such a fever pitch that one must address it, and address it daily, before we all wake up one day to find a reality TV star in the White House.

"Talia Jane's letters are so full of irony that if this wasn't the year 2016 and millennials weren't sucking up half the air in this country and supporting, rather unironically, someone who was the '60s answer to Millennialism, I'd think her story was ripped from the pages of The Onion.

"Talia Jane is into "comedy – writing – better at thinking about things than actually doing them."  Doesn't that last bit just encapsulate the millennial generation perfectly?

North Korea threatens to carry out attacks on 'mainland America' if the US carries out planned military drill with South Korean troops

Will Obama stand his ground? Under him the US has become the Cowardly Lion.  TD

UK Mail  "North Korea has threatened to attack 'mainland America' if the U.S. carries out a planned military drill with South Korean troops next month.
"The secretive state has reacted with anger after it was revealed more than 300,000 American and South Korean troops were planning to hold their biggest ever annual exercise following the North's nuclear tests earlier this year.
"It is said the parallel Key Resolve and Foal Eagle exercises will include a staged 'pre-emptive strike' against the North - apparently leaving leader Kim Jong-Un seething.
"Pyongyang has said if there is even a 'slight sign' of such exercises taking place, it will use all its might to hit back - claiming the first target would be South Korea's presidential Blue House, while U.S. military bases in Asia and in America would be its secondary targets." . . .

Li'l Kim in a light moment, probably watching a countryman being run through a shredder.
Angry words: North Korea has threatened to attack South Korea and the U.S. mainland if the two allies carry out a joint military exercise next month. Pictured: Leader Kim Jong-un oversees a military exercise run by his new army chief Ri Myong-Su
