KENTUCKY DERBY: HILLARY BY A NOSE! (Drudge)


2016 election center  County by county results.

This silly, but frightening Democrat administration and their bathroom edict

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel

"Do we really need to be talking about restroom access during an explosive political season, with public sentiment already boiling?
"Yes, we really do need to be talking about restroom access, less so for anatomical than for constitutional reasons. We need to be talking about the matter with urgency — and with anxiety for the democratic processes our leader seems bent on scuttling.
"Where does the ex-constitutional law lecturer who now serves as U.S. president get off with trying to remake moral policy for a nation of 330 million? Where does he get the idea it’s his business to instruct the 50 states that schools must henceforth allow the transgendered — whatever that curiously concocted word may mean — to visit the school restroom of their choice? Most of all, where does he suppose he gets the authority to do all this?
"Our modern-day Wizard of Oz is blowing and bloviating with glee. It’s time someone pulled back the curtains. The president isn’t nearly as big a figure as he thinks he is, with power to shut up opponents and magically make the American people over in his own image. No president is that big or grand — Obama’s inflated opinion of himself notwithstanding." . . .More
. . . "That a small group of males whose confused and questionable sexual self-identification is considered a mental aberration by the larger population including many medical professionals is more important to Target than their millions of female customers?"
"The Obama administration has decided that such localism, allowing for experiment and flexibility, is impermissible under federal law.
"Now a letter from a couple of federal mandarins carries as much practical power as a law duly passed by Congress and signed by the president. It is government by epistle."
And celebrities like Bruce Springsteen bought it: lock, stock, and barrel.

Hill and Bill went rapidly downhill

The Clinton Foundation

"After more than a year of research, a Wall Street analyst is arguing the Clinton Foundation's books are riddled with financial inconsistencies that rise to the level of "fraud."

"Charles Ortel, who gained recognition for correctly identifying problems with General Electric's financial statements in 2008, has prepared 40 reports highlighting discrepancies that he said proves the Clinton Foundation has covered up cash flow since 1997.
"The financial whistleblower said his 15 months of research revealed gaps in the amount of money donors claim to have given and the amount of money the foundation claims to have received.

"The Clinton Foundation network is actually comprised of several different charities that all perform seemingly similar functions. Those include the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton Climate Initiative and several more, all with varying degrees of overlapping finances." . . .  Much more on this at the link

Obama Administration Forces Doctors And Hospitals Getting Federal Funds To Perform Abortions…

Weasel Zippers

US-President-Barack-Obama-800x430

"The Obama Administration looks like it’s on a mission to trample religious and conscience protections and force as many people as it can to promote and pay for abortions.
"Breitbart reports the pro-abortion administration issued a new nondiscrimination policy in the name of “equity” on Friday that pressures doctors and hospitals to promote and perform abortions. Those that don’t would not be eligible for federal funds including Medicare and Medicaid, according to the report.
"The “Final Rule” on Obamacare Section 1557 came from the Department of Health and Human Services on Friday, and it largely had to do with discrimination and “gender identity.” While the rule summary does not mention abortion specifically, it explains that the rule “requires that women be treated equally with men in the health care they receive and also prohibits the denial of health care or health coverage based on an individual’s sex, including discrimination based on pregnancy, gender identity and sex stereotyping.”
"David Christensen, vice president of government affairs for the Family Research Council, told Breitbart that the new rule mandates that federally funded health care providers offer abortion, among other services." . . .  Keep reading…

Who better to be in charge of the US economy?

Does Hillary’s Two-for-One Help?   . . . "Let’s concede that nostalgia for the economy of the 1990s is somewhat understandable. It was the product of the end of the Cold War and the unique juxtaposition of a centrist Democrat in the White House and a new Republican Congressional majority determined to rein in liberal excesses. Bill Clinton’s willingness to work with the GOP produced landmark legislation on welfare reform and crime as well as a balanced budget. Not all of the credit belongs to Clinton, but he does deserve kudos for being willing to work with Republicans as he admitted that the “era of big government is over.' ” . . . 

Bill Clinton and ‘revitalizing’ the U.S. economy  . . . "The federal budget was in surplus (“primary surplus”) toward the end of the Clinton administration, as Mrs. Clinton points out. Why? Partly because of tax increases that Republicans fought vigorously against; partly because of spending controls that Democrats fought vigorously against; partly because of a stock-market bubble that liberated both the Clinton administration and congressional Republicans from making some really tough decisions." . . .

From Fred Barnes: The Hillary Myth
. .  . "Only there's a problem: This Hillary Clinton is entirely mythical. She doesn't exist. As the Democratic party has lurched to the left, she has lurched with it. While talking up growth, she has proposed no incentives to produce it. She relies on government spending to stir growth, Obama's woeful policy. On tax cuts, she's for boosting the top rate on individual income to 45 percent, the highest in three decades. Under her complicated plan, the tax rate on capital gains would jump from 23.8 percent to 39.6 percent, then to 47.4 percent with surtaxes. The Tax Foundation concluded her tax hikes would cut annual growth by 1 percent and shrink incomes by at least 0.9 percent. That's a recipe for less job creation, more wage stagnation, fewer business startups, and a despondent country.

"An element of the Hillary myth is that she's on the same wavelength as her husband. She's not. He cut the capital gains rate from 28 percent to 20 percent, sparking the economic boom of his second term. He fought hard to enact the North American Free Trade Agreement. She attacks NAFTA and opposes the new Pacific trade treaty she once championed as the "gold standard" of free trade. Bill Clinton pushed through welfare reform that dramatically reduced poverty and welfare dependency. She would expand welfare with a new subsidy for child care and much more. And rather than defend his 1994 crime bill, she apologizes for it." . . .

Does Obama actually drink Flint water, or, well, does he?

Language advisory at the link, regrettably.

Before Its News  . . .  “It’s ridiculous,” exclaimed Jaquita Gable, an auto parts worker from Flint, after hearing Obama’s remarks. “He told us the water is fine. He also said there are only a few pipes that need to be replaced in Flint. Obama did the same as all the rest of the politicians who have come here. He wants to sweep this under the rug. He might as well have stayed in Washington, DC. He figured, ‘Let me talk to them, let me shut them up.’ He told us to use filters, drink the water and go home and be quiet. The main thing you could clearly hear is that there is no money for Flint.” WSWS
"Obama downplayed the seriousness of the situation at one point saying the kids of Flint “will be just fine” and then went on to say he ate paint chips as a kid, so Flint parents shouldn’t worry about their children drinking water with toxic levels of lead in it." . . .
