1916: U.S. Facing War With Mexico

NY Times   — "Army officers assigned to various schools throughout the country have been ordered to join their commands on the Mexican border. To facilitate this, the War Department has arranged for these schools to graduate their classes ahead of time. External signs indicate that war is now inevitable between the United States and Mexico. The pourparlers between Generals Alvaro Obregon and Hugh L. Scott concerning the immediate withdrawal of American troops from Mexican territory do not appear to have resulted in any understanding. — The New York Herald, European Edition, May 13, 1916"

World Journal (China): ‘Five Things You Should Know’ – Barack Obama Snubs Hillary Clinton   . . . "Martha’s Vineyard. Over the weekend, Hillary Clinton held several fundraising parties on this traditionally wealthy resort island. U.S. President Barack Obama took his family on vacation there for 16 days. Earlier, the media had reported that Obama would support Clinton at the fundraisers, but during Clinton’s stay on the island, Obama strolled on the beach, watched fireworks, and ultimately did not show up at Clinton’s fundraisers. On the Daily Mail’s headline, the word “snub” was used." . . .

The 5 most outrageous things Hillary Clinton said in her FBI interview

CNBC

. . . "Here are five of the most outrageous statements Clinton made in that three-and-a-half hour FBI interview:

1. She cited her 2012 concussion as the reason that she cannot remember details of briefings during her "transition out of office."

2. She said she never even thought whether emails she exchanged on a future U.S. drone attack should be classified.

3. She said she thought the "C" before a paragraph indicated alphabetical order. The C actually stands for "classified."

4. She said no one ever raised concerns to her about her use of a private email server.

5. She said she could not recall any training on how to handle classified information.

What's more, Clinton aides told the FBI that the Secretary of State frequently replaced her Blackberry phone and the whereabouts of her old device would become "unknown." The FBI report suggests there were at least 13 different devices used.

"You're going to hear on the mainstream media all weekend a lot of supposedly objective pundits insist the above revelations offer no "smoking gun." And that may be true from a legal standpoint, but we're in the middle of an election and these statements are poison for Clinton and cannon fodder for Donald Trump. 

Obama’s Iran Deal Is a Fraud on the American People

"He and Kerry worked with Tehran to excuse and ‘exempt’ its flouting of its commitments."

. . . "The Institute for Science and International Security (hereafter, the Institute) reported on Thursday that Iran was not in full compliance with its JCPOA commitments on Implementation Day, as was required — we were led to believe — before Iran was to get sanctions relief. What’s more, the Obama administration not only well knew that Iran was not in compliance; it also colluded with Iran, through the secretive JCPOA device known as the “Joint Commission,” in order to exempt Iran’s multiple violations from compliance requirements. 

"Got it? As Obama and Kerry were telling you that Iran had “fully implemented its required commitments,” and that the administration would continue working energetically to ensure future continued “full compliance” with those commitments, Obama and Kerry were working with Iran to excuse its flouting of its commitments — and, it turns out, to lay the groundwork for future “exemptions” from compliance." . . .

Meet the mastermind behind Clinton’s massive email coverup

NY Post

. . . "Yet despite signs Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills obstructed efforts by investigators to obtain Clinton’s emails, the FBI invited Mills to attend Hillary’s interview at FBI headquarters as one of her lawyers.

“ 'It’s absolutely outrageous,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.

“ 'The FBI saw massive document destruction and clear intent to withhold material evidence,” he added, “and they just ignored that obstruction, and even let her sit in on the interview.' ” . . .

WAS IT SOMETHING HE SAID?

Power Line  "The Chinese government found a new way to express its contempt for Barack Obama and the United States yesterday. The authorities snubbed Obama upon his arrival in Hangzhou before the start of the G20 conference. According to the Guardian: “[Obama] was forced to disembark from Air Force One through a little-used exit in the plane’s belly after no rolling staircase was provided when he landed in the eastern Chinese city on Saturday afternoon.”

"And that’s not all! “When Obama did find his way on to a red carpet on the tarmac below there were heated altercations between US and Chinese officials, with one Chinese official caught on video shouting: ‘This is our country! This is our airport!’” I think that’s what Secretary of State John Kerry calls nineteenth-century thinking.

"The Guardian quotes the New York Times report: “The reception that President Obama and his staff got when they arrived here Saturday afternoon was bruising, even by Chinese standards.”

"Was it something he said? The Guardian consider the possibilities, including the possibility that Obama declined the standard red carpet treatment. I think we can rule that out. The execrable Susan Rice didn’t have a face-saving explanation ready to offer. Rice commented: “They did things that weren’t anticipated.' ”
