Another Clinton Scandal: Will This Stop Her?   "Corruption: If Hillary Clinton thought that her family's foundation was no longer an anchor weighing down her presidential campaign, she was mistaken. A news bimbo has erupted and it's a big one." . . .Read More

Hillary's private server emails contained info from 5 intelligence agencies  "Hillary Clinton’s presidential prospects are evaporating as more details emerge on her abuse of classified information and her lies about it.  A McClatchy story published yesterday must have Democratic Party elders and the Obama White House, especially Valerie Jarrett, plotting the most effective way to dump her before she takes down the party in the 2016 election." . . .

John Fund: Hillary Clinton: An Indecisive Hamlet on the Issues?   "Hillary Clinton is known for being politically cautious to a fault. But no one expected the non-answer that she gave at a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire this week when she was asked her stance on building the Keystone XL pipeline.

 “If it’s undecided when I become president, I will answer your question,” Clinton said. “This is President Obama’s decision. I’m not going to second-guess him.” She claimed that because she oversaw the process of analyzing the pipeline while she was secretary of state (the pipeline would begin in Canada) she had to in some way recuse herself from expressing an opinion.

. . . 

"It turns out that Keystone is one of six issues where Hillary has decided to take a Profile in Obfuscation by not taking a position. The others are offshore oil drilling, fracking, trade, repeal of the Obamacare medical-device tax, and big bank regulation. The Washington Post has a hilarious rundown on her non-positions.

" I can’t wait for the first debate between Hillary and her opponents to see if she maintains her absurd distance between the issues and a willingness to state an opinion on them."

Give us back Jimmy Carter!

http://comicallyincorrect.com/2014/10/09/carter-obama/

American Thinker  . . . "Carter had been feckless.  He turned the most powerful nation in the world into a paper tiger.  He was afraid to use our natural power because he had the naïve notion that his passiveness was kindness rather than dangerous to us.

"But Carter was Superman compared to Obama.  Ali Younesi, Rouhani’s senior advisor, calls Obama “the weakest of U.S. presidents.”  He says, “Americans witnessed their greatest defeats in Obama’s era: Terrorism expanded, [the] U.S. had huge defeats under Obama [and] that is why they want to compromise with Iran.” Emphasis added, TD

The Age of the Hyper-Scandal: Why Pop Stars Like Ariana Grande Can't Seem to Escape the Trap   "In July it was DonutGate, in which the 22-year-old chart-topper Ariana Grande was caught on a security camera at Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, Calif., covertly licking a few pastries while loudly disparaging obese people and America to her new boyfriend, backup dancer Ricky Alvarez. Naturally the video went viral, spawning a gazillion posts and tweets, appearance cancellations and apologies (one non-apology, one groveling apology), and no doubt outperforming news of global wars and climate disasters in the daily clickbait race." . . .

"I felt totally abandoned this weekend as everyone was 'rainbowing' on Facebook"
"Notice that even her children rainbowed their photos. Notice the social isolation that she felt as a result of all these rainbowed profiles. That is propaganda in action. Another way to describe it: a cloaked form of bullying. It aims to isolate us, to make us feel like "nonpersons"."

According to reports, a lion garnered more media attention in one day than the Planned Parenthood videos had in two weeks.  . . . "The mainstream outlets wouldn’t even touch the story for more than 24 hours. Something so horrific, so unconscionable and the media ignores it. Don’t you wonder why? Jimmy Kimmel can blather on about a dead lion; something regularly and legally hunted in Africa, but makes no mention of murdered children’s body parts being sold? And you wonder why I had the audacity to question that?"

Planned Parenthood President Made 39 Visits To Obama’s White House Since 2009

Liberal Logic 101

 

"Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, head of the taxpayer-subsidized abortion giant currently facing a firestorm for allegedly selling body parts harvested from aborted babies, has made personal visits to the White House 39 times since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, White House records show.

"According to online records on the White House website, Richards first visited the White House on Jan. 20, 2009 — the same day Obama first took office. Since then, Richards has met with Obama alone at least three times and First Lady Michelle Obama at least twice. She also met with president and his wife together another four times." . . .

Iraqis take part in a candlelight vigil in Iraq's central city of Najaf on Feb. 27,

 in memory of Muslim and Christian victims killed by the Islamic State.

"Christianity, whose presence in the Middle East predates Islam’s by 600 years, is about to be cleansed from the Middle East. Egyptian Copts may have found some respite under President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, but after their persecution under the previous Muslim Brotherhood government, they know how precarious their existence in 90 percent Muslim Egypt remains. Elsewhere, it’s much worse. Twenty-one Copts were beheaded by the Islamic State affiliate in Libya for the crime of being Christian. In those large swaths of Syria and Iraq where the Islamic State rules, the consequences for Christians are terrible — enslavement, exile, torture, massacre, crucifixion." . . .

U.S. intel fears hundreds of secrets leaked in Hillary’s private emails

Washington Times 
" Many more classified emails identified as Congress is notified"

 

"The U.S. intelligence community is bracing for the possibility that former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email account contains hundreds of revelations of classified information from spy agencies and is taking steps to contain any damage to national security, according to documents and interviews Thursday.

"The top lawmakers on the House and Senate intelligence committee have been notified in recent days that the extent of classified information on Mrs. Clinton’s private email server was likely far more extensive than the four emails publicly acknowledged last week as containing some sensitive spy agency secrets." . . .

Never-Before-Seen Photos of WWII Found on Neglected German Camera

The Federalist Papers

 

"Photographs taken on a German World War Two soldier's camera - which was found by a British war hero - have been put on permanent display close to where they were found in the Netherlands.

"Royal Marine Arthur Thompson, from Herne Bay in Kent, came across the camera on 1 November 1944 during the Allied operation to liberate the Dutch, after it had been left by some hastily departing Germans in a large concrete bunker on the island of Walcheren.

"The roll of film reveals not just German soldiers relaxing and laughing together, but pictures Mr Thompson himself took of British Commandos.

. . . "The bunker was part of the Atlantic Wall - Hitler's defensive system against an expected Allied attack, which stretched all the way from the Spanish border to Scandinavia.

"Mr Thompson was 21, and part of a 47 Royal Marine Commando sortie to the Dutch island in a mission to free up the port of Antwerp and help liberate the Netherlands." . . .

 

The Truth About Western “Colonialism”

 How the misuse of a term legitimizes the jihadist myth of Western guilt.

 Bruce S. Thornton

 

. . . "The great scholar of Soviet terror, Robert Conquest, noted this linguistic corruption decades ago. Historical terms like “imperialism” and “colonialism,” Conquest wrote, now refer to “a malign force with no program but the subjugation and exploitation of innocent people.” As such, these terms are verbal “mind-blockers and thought-extinguishers,” which serve “mainly to confuse, and of course to replace, the complex and needed process of understanding with the simple and unneeded process of inflammation.” Particularly in the Middle East, “colonialism” has been used to obscure the factual history that accounts for that region’s chronic dysfunctions, and has legitimized policies doomed to fail because they are founded on distortions of that history." . . .

UPDATE: Willing to Give Iran Benefit of Doubt? Consider John Kerry’s Scary Remarks Before Congress! 
. . . " Secretary of State John Kerry said on Capitol Hill that Iran "may" kill Americans or Israelis.

"A member of Congress asked the secretary of state, "Well, do you believe that Iran is the world's foremost sponsor of terrorism?"

" 'Yes," Kerry responded.

" 'And that they will use the conventional weapons made available by the Iran nuclear treaty to kill Americans or Israelis?"

" 'Well, they may," said Kerry. "They may. And we have, as you know, responded to that from 1979 when they took over our embassy forward, we have put sanctions in place specifically because of their support for terror."

"Question for Kerry: Given Iran’s terrorist proclivities, and repeated threats to annihilate the state of Israel, why in the hell has the Administration entered into an Agreement that would send $150 billion in US taxpayer money to Tehran, money that could be used to kill Americans and Israelis and promote terrorism throughout the globe?

Well, there is this too:   "US Does NOT Have Access to Secret Agreement Between Iran & IAEA!"

 

The real reason why Obama is pushing a bad deal with Iran 
. . . "Liberals were very upset when Mossadegh was overthrown.  Ever since then, liberals have viewed Irans as the hapless victim of an imperialist America.  That's why Jimmy Carter, the worst president America had ever seen until Barack Obama was elected, helped the radical Ayatollah Khomenei take over from the shah.  The shah was evil in Carter's mind because he was an ally of the West.  Khomenei had anti-Western rhetoric, but for good reason, because of our imperialistic meddling.

'"Fast-forward to today.  Obama is only continuing Carter's policy of appeasing the ayatollahs.  He's not being naive.  He knows that Iran is developing nuclear weapons." . . .

 

The Secret Service and their wards

The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents
" As in a play, presidents, vice presidents, and presidential candidates perform on stage for the public and the media. What the nation’s leaders are really like and what goes on behind the scenes remains hidden. Secret Service agents have a front row seat on their private lives and those of their wives and children. " . . .
"From observing Vice President Joe Biden’s reckless behavior that jeopardizes the country’s safety, to escorting Bill Clinton’s mistress at Chappaqua, to overhearing First Lady Michelle Obama’s admonitions to the president, to witnessing President Nixon’s friends bring him a nude stripper, to seeing their own agency take risks that could result in an assassination, Secret Service agents know a secret world that Ronald Kessler exposes in breathtaking detail."

 

     Secret Service agents have been dismayed to overhear Michelle Obama push her husband to be more aggressive in attacking Republicans and to side with blacks in racial controversies. . . .
      Because Hillary Clinton is so nasty to agents, being assigned to her protective detail is considered a form of punishment and the worst assignment in the Secret Service.

    Vice President Joe Biden swims nude at the vice president’s residence in Washington and at his home in Delaware, offending female agents.

 Fact check reports
Q: Does a recent book quote Secret Service agents saying denigrating things about Obama and other recent Democratic presidents while praising only Republicans?
A: No. The book's author, Ronald Kessler, states that a viral e-mail's descriptions of Obama and Clinton "are completely wrong." His book quotes both flattering and unflattering observations about presidents of both parties
 The left does not like anything said against Democrats
They trash the author as the left does so well. 

Much on this subject from Snopes

 Yahoo: . . . "Marc Ambinder, an editor at “This Week” news magazine, wrote a post admonishing Kessler’s book for “weird inaccuracies” that he says “should lead Kessler to question the judgment of some of his own sources.” Asked for a response to Ambinder’s negative review, Kessler rebutted that “every claim that he made was totally wrong.” . . .

Third in a series: Camille Paglia analyzes the GOP field — and takes on Hillary Clinton (as well as teachers unions!)

But said, “Ted Cruz gives me the willies”

Salon
 "In the first two parts of Salon’s conversation with Camille Paglia, we covered Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton, the return of the ’90s sensibility, and then the rise of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.

"Today Paglia trains her devastating insight and wit on the rest of the GOP field — look out Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. She also has some surprising thoughts on why Hillary Clinton will not be the Democratic nominee — and why it would be unwise for Democrats to overlook the appeal of Scott Walker."
" Catch up with the first two parts of our interview here and here."

 

. . . "Young feminists are asking why there hasn’t been a woman president and automatically blaming it on male sexism.  But there are plenty of women Democratic politicians who are too scared to put themselves forward as candidates because of the Clinton machine. There’s something seriously wrong here with Democratic thinking. You either believe in the country, you believe in your party, or you don’t!
"Given the problems facing the nation, this passive waiting for your turn is simply unacceptable.  The Democrats have plenty of solid, capable women politicians who are just too timid to challenge the party establishment.  Well, excuse me, that proves they don’t deserve to be president!  You sure won’t be able to deal with ISIS if you can’t deal with Debbie Wasserman Schultz! " . . .
...

"Exactly how have the teachers unions improved the quality of education in our big cities?  Look at the dilapidated public schools in Philadelphia or in many other cities run by Democrats.  The rigid and antiquated seniority system imposed by the teachers unions has been a disaster–”last hired, first fired.”  So many young and vital teachers have been terminated during budget cuts–the entire future of the profession.  The unions value seniority over quality, and it’s inner-city children who have paid the price.

"In my opinion, Scott Walker still lacks seasoning, presidential temper, and a working knowledge of international affairs.  But if Democrats try to use the union issue to take him down, they’re simply empowering him–and we’re going to end up with President Walker."

Megyn Kelly Versus Daily Beast Reporter On Trump Spousal 'Rape' Article

 Fox

"TIM MAK, "THE DAILY BEAST" REPORTER: Well, I think it's relevant because Donald Trump introduced his presidential campaign by making these accusations against Mexican immigrants saying many of the people who cross the border were rapists. I think it's worth looking at whether or not there have been any accusations or allegations made in the past about him on that matter."
. . .
" MAK: Well, look, like you mentioned, Donald Trump is the republican front- runner. He deserves to be looked at. His history should be looked at. And I think what's important here is that Ivana Trump did make these statements about an incident in 1989. And she acknowledged them again in a book that was published in 1993. We're simply looking at those facts. And I think with his presidential campaign, there's new relevance to them." . . .
