Hillary: In a hole, and digging hard
comicallyincorrect.com
Fritz Pettyjohn . . . "The Republican nominee may not take this tack, but outside groups, modeled on the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, will be formed, similar to the fine effort underway by Restoration PAC to expose Hillary's lies on Benghazi. But it's not just affirmative action. She must endorse every ridiculous proposal Black Lives Matter makes, including a refusal to say those racist words, "all lives matter."
"Now that she fears losing Iowa and New Hampshire, she must rely even more on her black firewall in South Carolina. If blacks start to abandon her, it's over. It's hard to get to the left of Sanders with black voters, but she'll try, even prompting speculation she may come out for reparations for slavery." . . .
The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy is Back!

| "SHE’S ONTO US!" |
. . . "The vast right-wing conspiracy is also to blame for her husband’s various affairs and sex scandals, apparently. Or at least that was Hillary’s story in 1998.
"A refresher:
Beginning the autopsy on Obama administration decision-making disasters
Thomas Lifson "I hope to live long enough to see the Obama administration’s disastrous track record objectively evaluated. The overwhelming media support Obama has received, combined with his demographic characteristics, personal charm, winning smile, sense of humor, and comedy timing, has kept his level of public esteem far above the merits of his presidential decisions.
"As his second term winds down, some truth-tellers are beginning to emerge and discuss the quality of decision-making they experienced. Among the first is Robert Gates. Aaron Kliegman reports in the Free Beacon:
"As his second term winds down, some truth-tellers are beginning to emerge and discuss the quality of decision-making they experienced. Among the first is Robert Gates. Aaron Kliegman reports in the Free Beacon:
Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday that President Obama thinks he is smarter than his advisers and that he surrounds himself with people who will not question his views. As a result, the White House has struggled to develop and implement effective strategy during the Obama administration, according to Gates.
“You know, the president is quoted as having said at one point to his staff, ‘I can do every one of your jobs better than you can,’” Gates said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
"As fate would have it, young Barack Obama entered the educational system of the United States at the precise moment when a desperate need to atone for past sins led to the lionization of black students who showed promise, and a corresponding reluctance to criticize them. This sort of condescension is racist at its heart, anchored in an unspoken belief in racial inferiority, but it masquerades as righteous anti-racism."
France and the Yarmulkah*
*First, what is a yarmulkah or a kippa? "A Kippah, kippa, kipoh, or kipa also known as a yarmulke, . . . is a brimless cap, usually made of cloth, worn by Jews to fulfill the customary requirement held by orthodox halachic authorities that the head be covered at all times. It is usually worn by men and, less frequently, by women . . . at times of prayer.
Yeshiva World News
"Mr. President, the kippah to us is a sign of reverence." Rabbi Feller, another member of the group, continued, "We place the kippah on the very highest point of our being—on our head, the vessel of our intellect—to tell ourselves and the world that there is something which is above man's intellect: the infinite Wisdom of God."Back to the point:
Yeshiva World News
"The head of the Jewish community in Marseille, France, Zvi Ammar, announced last week that Jews should avoid wearing the kippah
in the streets. The announcement was made last Tuesday a day after a teenager attacked and slightly injured a teacher in the southern France city who wore a yarmulkah.
"The teenager, a Turkish citizen of Kurdish origin who was armed with a machete and a knife, said that he had acted in the name of the militant Islamic State group, according to French prosecutors.
“Not wearing the kippa can save lives and nothing is more important,” Ammar told the French paper, La Provence daily. “It really hurts to reach that point but I don’t want anyone to die in Marseille because they have a kippa on their head.”
"Marseille has the third largest Jewish community in France.
"Ammar added, “On Saturday, for the first time in my life, I will not be wearing the kippa to the synagogue.” . . .
Before we discuss the sources, it should be generally understood that regardless of the final halacha, covering one’s head engenders hachna’ah . . . – humility, a necessary component in prayer -
"According to the position of those Poskim who hold that it is not an obligation, there is no question that in a location where there is a significant danger, one may remove one’s Yarmulkah. "
While we're at it, these are the Tzitzit:
. . . "The Torah states in Numbers 15:38: "Speak to the Children of Israel, and say to them, that they shall make themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and they shall put on the corner tassel a blue-violet (Tekhelet) thread." Wearing the Tzitzit is also commanded in Deuteronomy 22:12:

Juanita Broaddrick: Hillary’s Ghost
I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Ark. Attorney General raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73….it never goes away. — Juanita Broaddrick (@atensnut) January 6, 2016
"For Hillary Clinton, who a month earlier had tweeted, “Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported,” and who has made her record on “women’s issues” (as her website phrases it) central to her campaign, Broaddrick’s tweet is the stuff of nightmare. Faulkner might have been writing directly to the Clintons when he warned: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
Broaddrick had related the episode to NBC, but it had been nixed in the cutting room. In 2003, in an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Broaddrick repeated the story, adding: “I could have passed out at that moment. . . . Cold chills went up my spine. That’s the first time I became afraid of that woman.”. . . "And Hillary? When Bill’s wife shook her hand in 1978, was she trying to send a message? “There was no doubt in my mind. It not only shocked me, it made me very frightened. The smile dropped, and the intonation of her voice, it was very cold. She knew what he had done to me, and she was saying, ‘Thank you very much for keeping quiet.’” . . .
Juanita Broaddrick Says Bill Clinton Called Her At Work Repeatedly After Alleged Rape, And Hillary Helped Cover it Up

“And she said, ‘Do you understand? Everything you do.’”
Juanita Broaddrick was notified last week that she is being audited for tax returns that were filed covering 1998.

Hillary Clinton Gets One More Shot to Take Down Sanders
Vanity Fair
"Could a last-minute town hall event save Clinton from defeat in Iowa?"
"A hastily scheduled town-hall-style event, announced Wednesday by CNN and scheduled to take place just one week before the Iowa caucuses, could be a saving grace for Hillary Clinton, whose presidential campaign has faced an unexpectedly formidable challenge from Democratic rival Bernie Sanders.
"The prime-time gathering will air Monday at nine P.M., a huge change from the three debates that the Democratic National Committee scheduled on inconvenient weekend nights. The odd scheduling and limited number of debates provoked criticism from Sanders and fellow candidate Martin O’Malley for giving them inadequate time to make their case to the American public, especially in comparison to the numerous Republican debates that have drawn record-breaking numbers of viewers." . . .
. . . "CNN, once known colloquially as “Clinton News Network,” has been favorable to the Clintons since 1992, when Larry King told Bill Clinton on a hot mic that CNN founder Ted Turner would “serve” him after the presidential election."
CNN's Larry King giving Bill Clinton helpful advice during a 1992 interview break with a hot mike:
LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE MEDIA UNITE AGAINST TRUMP
. . . "Trump immediately called Annabell, promising to save her farm and pledging $20,000 toward the effort. "Last night when he called, my heart went pitter patter," Annabell told ABC's "World News Tonight." "I never talked with a man with that much money before. And he assured me that one day the land would be mine. I thought, after I hung up, 'This can't be true, this just can't be true.'"
"Look for a fake Trump scandal to break -- probably from a conservative news outlet -- right before the Iowa caucus.
"A few months ago, an alleged Trump quote from a 1998 People magazine interview was circulating on the Internet, claiming Trump said that if he ever ran for president, he'd run as a Republican because Republican voters are "the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they'd still eat it up."
"I pay a lot for Nexis, and Trump has never said anything remotely resembling this. Snopes.com investigated, too, and also concluded the quote was a fake. But you can probably still find some idiot tweeting it out right now.
"Last week, Glenn Beck "retweeted" a post allegedly tweeted by Trump the day after the 2012 election, saying: "I always vote for the winners! Congratulations to My Friend, @BarackObama!"
"If that doesn't sound like Trump, it's because Trump never said it. Beck's retweet sure made it look real, but you can check Trump's Twitter archive.
"All the stories about Trump being a fraud keep turning out to be the real frauds. I assume that, like most sentient beings, he's changed his mind about some things. But the one consistent thread running through his entire life is his love for this country and his fellow Americans.
"The attacks on Trump from the "conservative" media calling him a socialist, a Democrat, a flip-flopper, a fake conservative are just name-calling. I notice that the accusers never include examples, not true ones, anyway. Here are some examples of how Trump has always been for Americans first. Wouldn't it be nice to have a president who likes us more than he likes foreigners -- and the rich donors who employ them? . . .
Full article here.
"Two years later, Trump was interviewed by Larry King at the 1988 Republican National Convention. Please look up this interview -- it's fabulous. " Here it is:
"Conservative pundits keep assuring clueless viewers that Trump is not a "real Republican." They seem not to grasp that most viewers are saying, That's fantastic! Thanks for reminding me. (I look forward to conservative talk show hosts 20 years hence billing themselves as "Trump Republicans.") "I'd feel better if he was more informed and informative on important issues such as foreign policy. TD
Phyllis Chesler and Pat Condell on Europe’s Betrayal Of Women
I cannot say, as this video does, that Obama is a Muslim, only that he registers esteem for Islam more that he ever does for America's culture and history. The Tunnel Dweller
Phyllis Chesler on the other face of Jihad
. . . "If Germany and Austria—if all Europe--does not find, prosecute, and deport all the men who took part in the recent New Year's Eve atrocities, they will soon discover that such attacks might become regular features of European life and will occur on most holidays; that, like Muslim women, European women will increasingly live in fear; begin to stay indoors; and that female workers will increasingly suffer from post-traumatic stress symptoms. A European woman's quality of life and efficiency at work may decrease. This will be true for women of every ethnicity and religion.

Hillary Clinton update for Wednesday

| Drudge photo of Lena Dunham |
"The conversation, relayed by several people with knowledge of the discussion who would speak about it only anonymously, captures the deeper debate unfolding among liberal leaning women about how to reconcile Mrs. Clinton’s leadership on women’s issues with her past involvement in her husband’s efforts to fend off accusations of sexual misconduct." . . .
Say what you will about Dick As-I-say-in-my-book Morris, he does know the Clintons up close and personal:
NewsMax: Dick Morris: Hillary's Email Scandal Turns Deadly . . . "SAP (special access program) is a designation that is even more secret than “top secret.” Fox News explains that “access to a SAP is restricted to those with a "need-to-know" because exposure of the intelligence would likely reveal the source, putting a method of intelligence collection -- or a human asset -- at risk.” . . .
"Together, these new revelations, both by Fox News, indicate that the danger for Secretary Clinton has escalated and that the FBI investigation is coming closer to home."
Lucianne, as usual, hits the mother lode with these next four:
Hillary campaign’s response to latest email revelations reveals desperation . . . "These revelations come from the nation’s Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough III, not some partisan. He is a nonpolitical official who was confirmed by the Senate and entrusted with keeping our intelligence agencies honest. For those readers who have not yet familiarized themselves with the revelations, Catherine Herridge’s exclusive report at Fox News must be read. (Incidentally, Herridge deserves a Pulitzer Prize for her ongoing coverage of this story, though given the leftist bias usually seen in the Pulitzers, this is unlikely to happen unless Hillary actually is indicted – which is now far from unthinkable.)" . . .

How Donald Trump defeats Hillary Clinton "Obama’s black supporters are crucial to a Trump win, and pollsters say he has a chance with this bloc."
PJ Media: What Happens if Hillary Isn't Indicted?
. . . "Loretta Lynch, Obama, et al, are actually facing a giant tinderbox, whether they know it or not. . . . People fixate these days on the Black Lives Matter movement or on "social justice" activism on campus that is dominated by self-described "progressives" appalled by "microagressions" and such like. But what if the American heartland rebels? Left-wing rebellion in our culture has always been dependent on the center holding; it's a kind of play rebellion, college kids taking over a park while daddy pays their allowance. But suppose daddy started to rebel? That would be, as the saying goes, a whole other ball of wax." . . .

Iranian Commander Claims U.S. Sailors Were 'Crying After Their Arrest'
"In their eyes, all of the Iranian propaganda doesn't matter because it's their idea of "justice." And whoever gets elected president later this year is going to have a helluva time trying to re-establish some kind of strategic balance to the world that Obama has so thoroughly upended."PJ Media
"Iran has jacked up its propaganda war against the U.S., milking the seizure of our boats and sailors for all it's worth.
"The Iranian general commanding the Revolutionary Guard Corps said during military celebrations this weekend that American sailors "started crying after their arrest." He also claimed the incident proved Iranian military supremacy in the region." . . .
"The White House continues to insist that no one should be "embarrassed" by the photos of our sailors kneeling with their hands behind their heads at gunpoint.
“I don’t think there’s any reason for anybody to be embarrassed,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “We’re pleased that our sailors were released promptly and unharmed.”. . .
Mr. Earnest said Iran’s showing of the video does not violate the Geneva Conventions, which prohibits the exploitation of prisoners of war, because the U.S. and Iran are not at war.
"Just what is this "responsible, mature presidential leadership"? It's the kind of leadership that willingly absorbs insults, humiliations, and anti-American propaganda without a whimper because, like many liberals, the Obama administration believes that America deserves it."
