Not a good media day today for Hillary

Woman who accused Bill Clinton of assault to campaign against Hillary presidential run

One of the women who has accused former U.S. President Bill Clinton of sexual assault says she has agreed to work for an anti-Clinton political group being formed by a former advisor to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Kathleen Willey, a former White House volunteer who says Bill Clinton groped her in an Oval Office hallway in 1993 when she came to him tearfully seeking a paid job, said she had agreed to become a paid national spokeswoman for a group being created by Roger Stone.
. . .
"This gives me more of an opportunity to get this message out to young voters who weren't even born or don't even remember what happened and to the women who have suffered," Willey told Reuters.


Pressure on Lynch to step aside in Clinton email probe  . . . "If the FBI finds sufficient evidence to launch a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton or one of her top aides for mishandling classified information, Lynch’s Justice Department will have to decide whether or not to press ahead.
. . . 
"Even if no evidence of wrongdoing is found, Clinton’s many critics are unlikely to take the word of an appointee of President Obama’s, and will doubt that justice has been served.

"Already, top Republicans are calling for a special prosecutor to be brought in and evaluate the situation." . . .

Clinton looks to sisterhood, but votes may go to Sanders  . . . "The latest sign came Sunday, when a new CNN-WMUR survey here showed Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont beating Clinton among women by eight percentage points — which represents a big shift from the results last week in the Iowa caucuses, where Clinton won women by 11 points.
"The survey followed unintentionally problematic comments over the weekend by Madeleine Albright and Gloria Steinem, older trailblazers who were trying to encourage younger women to support Clinton." . . .
"On Saturday, Albright drew criticism for saying that “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other,” even though she has expressed that sentiment many times before."
Why young Democrats love Sanders and really don’t like Clinton  "Forget Hillary Clinton. “She’s a corporate sellout,” said Emmy Ham, a senior international affairs and anthropology major at the University of New Hampshire.
"And forget the notion that young women are eager to see Clinton president because of her gender. “There will be other opportunities for me to vote for a woman for president,” Ham said." . . .
VIDEO: Papers shake in Bill Clinton’s hand as he accuses Sanders supporters of ‘sexism’   "An increasingly geriatric Bill Clinton is upping his attacks on the 74-year-old socialist Bernie Sanders, and is attempting to link anonymous internet “trolls” to Hillary’s rival.
Holding apparent print outs of internet comments, Clinton escalated his attacks on his wife’s opponent in Milford, New Hampshire Sunday night.
From American Thinker:
Lefty pressure building on Hillary to release transcripts of talks to Goldman Sachs    Video here:  https://vimeo.com/152786370

 . . . "In a video posted on the leftist news site The Intercept in late January, one of Intercept’s reporters asked Clinton if she would release the transcripts of the speeches. Her dismissive response, in which she merely laughed and turn away, has spread across the internet."

"That laugh is even worse than her usual dismissive laugh because she ran away." . . .

THE SOCIALIST MILLIONAIRE: Financial Scandals Trail the Loathsome Hypocrite Bernie Sanders

Political Cartoons by Ken Catalino

Cliff Kincaid  "Responding to one of Anderson Cooper’s softball questions, socialist Bernie Sanders (I-VT)told the CNN Town Hall on Wednesday night that he lives a frugal life and indicated that he doesn’t care about money or status. “I have a small Chevrolet,” he said. “It is one of the smallest Chevys that they make.” He said it was about five years old.

"But James O’Brien, a political consultant and former publisher of Campaigns & Electionsmagazine, says the career politician, who has been a mayor, member of Congress and U.S. senator, has achieved the financial status of a millionaire.


"O’Brien has analyzed the financial status of Sanders and his wife, including their financial disclosure report, and has concluded they have a net worth in the range of $1.2 to $1.5 million, not the $700,000 or less that is usually reported by the media." . . .

It seems the education system is creating socialism in our millennials, doesn't it?

DeadHorse
http://terrellaftermath.com/
No More Room for Compromise with the Socialist Agenda of the Democrats   . . . " In recent polls nearly 59% of Democrats say they would vote for a socialist candidate as well as nearly 50% of independents and even more frightening nearly 70% of those between the ages of 18 and 29 in the country claim they would vote for a socialist.

"This phenomenon is due to two primary factors.  First, the ignorance of what socialism is and its overwhelming failure everywhere it has been tried. This is due to the Left’s control of the entertainment/education establishment over the past 40 years, which has eventuated in indoctrination not education. Second, the unwillingness of the opposition to vigorously defend capitalism and the founding tenets of this country.  Instead, the guiding principle became, as it took less effort, continual compromise with those whose single-minded objective was to establish a socialist nirvana and seize political power.

"The major failing of this go-along-to-get-along mindset is the inability or unwillingness to understand that one cannot compromise with those whose driving ambition is to control others." . . .

You Cannot Support Israel’s Existence (and Ours) and Vote Democrat This Election

Some historical background first:



Clarice Feldman   . . . "The kerfuffles over the caucus served as cover for the fact that the administration’s foreign and domestic policies render ourselves and our allies increasingly powerless to combat Islamic terrorism, and neither of the Democratic candidates is likely to alter that or the president’s patent anti-Israel approach in any substantial measure.

"The evidence of the administration’s tilt and recklessness grows.

"The most shocking evidence comes from Philip Haney writing for the Hill. Haney, a longtime Department of Homeland Security employee charged that he and others working there were ordered in November 2009 to destroy raw material intelligence needed to keep us safe.      
Just before that Christmas Day attack, in early November 2009, I was ordered by my superiors at the Department of Homeland Security to delete or modify several hundred records of individuals tied to designated Islamist terror groups like Hamas from the important federal database, the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS). These types of records are the basis for any ability to “connect dots.”  Every day, DHS Customs and Border Protection officers watch entering and exiting many individuals associated with known terrorist affiliations, then look for patterns. Enforcing a political scrubbing of records of Muslims greatly affected our ability to do that." . . .
. . . "Haney’s revelation came just days after the president visited a terrorism-linked mosque contrary to the FBI’s suggestion that he not do so. Powerline details the mosque’s history, which the Washington Post airbrushed out of the picture:" . . .
. . . 
"Caroline Glick sees in this visit a pattern for Obama’s last year in office
Obama’s apologetics for radical Islamists is the flipside of his hostility for Israel. This too is escalating and will continue to rise through the end of his tenure in office.

Islamists Demand Australian Senator ‘Introduce Sharia Law’ or Be Beheaded

Dr. Phyllis Chesler
204233-a-rioter-smashes-a-police-window-in-the-islamic-riots-in-sydney-cbd

"Yesterday, terrorists threatened to “behead” Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie if she did not help “introduce sharia law in Australia.” 

"To her credit, Lambie had recently called for the introduction of the death penalty for terrorists and had been quoted as saying: “If you don’t like our Australian law… then pack your bags and… leave. We will never bow down to sharia law.”

"The police do not yet know whether this death threat was sent by Jihadists or by opponents of a planned mosque.
 "Australia is part of the core group coalition against ISIS, which consists of the United States, Britain, France, Canada, Turkey, Italy, Poland, and Denmark.
"And here’s the history in Australia — a history you might think left Australia alone, but no.
"Jihad has been building for years in Australia. In 1998, a Sydney police station was shot at by four Arabs. In 2004, a Lebanese-Australian told a reporter that he “wanted to undertake a terror attack in Sydney in the name of Islam.”
"According to Australian terrorism researcher Andrew Zammitt, in 2003, thirteen Melbourne men and nine Sydney men were arrested and charged with forming two different cells to prepare attacks. Eighteen were convicted. These arrests suggested that Australians had become “newly radicalized” post 9/11." . . .  Read the full article here.

Clinton Stumbles on $675K Wall Street Question

Political Cartoons by Ken Catalino

'That's What They Offered': Clinton Stumbles on $675K Wall Street Question

Hillary Clinton has a simple explanation for why she accepted $675,000 from Goldman Sachs to give three speeches after she was secretary of state.
Better watch out when you confront Hillary, though, because you might get hurt as happened to this Secret Service agent in 2003! 
Angry Hillary threw book at Secret Service agent
"In a fit of rage, former first lady Hillary Clinton threw a book at a Secret Service agent, hitting him in the back as he was driving her here in a limousine during the 1996 campaign, former Secret Service officers and agents tell WorldNetDaily.

"She accused the plainclothes agent of "eavesdropping" on her conversation with another passenger in the back seat of the limo, the agents say. The missile she hurled was a painful message for him to mind his own business.

"The book hit him in the back, and it wasn't lobbed – she was angry," said a retired uniformed Secret Service officer familiar with the incident." . . .

"Another retired Secret Service veteran, a plainclothes agent assigned to Clinton's security detail, corroborated the book-throwing account. "Yeah, it's true," he said, without elaborating.
. . .
A Washington Metro Police detective also recalled hearing of the incident at the time, adding that the former first lady "was pretty sh--ty to the Secret Service guys.' "


Democratic donor contacts Biden allies about possible run


Yahoo, via Drudge  "A prominent Democratic donor worried about the party's chances of winning the presidency emailed dozens of fans of Vice President Joe Biden on Friday, urging them to remain prepared to donate if Biden jumps into the race.
"The donor, Bill Bartmann, cited new polling showing Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont nearly tied with the Hillary Clinton, eroding the 30-point lead the former secretary of state held at the end of last year. Bartmann and other party insiders are concerned that Sanders, a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist, is too far to the left to win against a Republican in the Nov. 8 presidential election.
" 'We cannot afford to lose the White House," Bartmann wrote in the email, seen by Reuters.
"The email drew a string of affirmative responses, also seen by Reuters.
"Biden announced in October that he would not seek the presidency, despite support from a group of backers under the name "Draft Biden 2016." But whispers have continued among some donors who hope that Biden could be convinced to run after all should Clinton’s campaign prove fruitless." . . .
This Biden?   

 This Joe?  Joe Biden plagiarised Neil Kinnock speech  "What's in a quote? For Joe Biden, his plagiarisation of a speech delivered by Neil Kinnock, then Labour leader, helped put pay to his own campaign to win the Democrats' presidential nomination more than 20 years ago."
"I exaggerate when I'm angry, but I've never gone around telling people things that aren't true about me." Joe Biden

How the Finns deal with rapists

Yes, the government of Finland . . . truly believes that, essentially, a pair of mittens, a handbag and a stern look will stop most rapists.
. . . "If you hadn’t seen it, you wouldn’t have believed it.  That was an entirely serious video played on television and created by the Finnish government in order to reduce the number of rapes committed by Muslim invaders." . . .

I don’t like Bernie because his “Medicare For All” plan is terrible for America’s health and economy

"If you doubt me about the benefits of competition, dig into your desk drawer and drag out one of your flash drives.  Take a good look at that useful little thing and think about this:  On Amazon today, you can get ten 8 GB flash drives for $44.00 — or $4.40 per flash drive.  What you probably don’t know if you’re under 35 is that, when flash drives first came out in the 1990s, their storage ability was measured by megabytes, not gigabytes, and their cost was in the hundreds of dollars.  What brought quality up and costs down was competition, unimpeded by government mandates and other market perversions."
Bookworm Room  "My college-age child introduced me to a website called I Like Bernie, But…which is particularly appealing to young voters. The website offers short answers to concerns pro-Bernie voters might still be harboring about his policies and his ability to win. With few exceptions, these answers are just plain wrong. You can see my rebuttals at a website I set up as a counterweight (I Don’t Like Bernie, Because…). I’ve republished those same articles here, at my own blog, addressing Bernie’s socialismhis tax plans, and his Second Amendment stance. Today I’m tackling everything that’s wrong with Bernie’s plan to socialize American medicine." . . .
This writer's article discusses these points:
I.  What Bernie promises. . . 
II. America cannot afford Bernie’s plan . . .
III. Progressive claims to the contrary, European health care not the wonderful thing that you think it is. . . 

Perpetual victimhood

Beware the Perpetual Victim’s Wrath

perpetual victim

Even back in 2008, Hillary is The Victim!  . . . " And Hillary, as strong as she is, wins as a victim. That is the trajectory of her career. I am a victim. Punch. So why are women whining and the identifying with being the victim again?" . . . 

Hillary Clinton is no victim  " . . .Clinton's looped victim audio track has been playing for 20-plus years. She was a victim of her husband's philandering. She was a victim of a vast right-wing conspiracy. And most recently, in a one-on one interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, she claimed that she and Bill were "dead broke" when they left the White House. Victim. Victim. Victim. You know what a victim is? It's someone who tells a story that their lives are awful as a way to get attention and adoration. " . . .
What makes a person a perpetual victim?   "Everyone feels sorry for people who have been through terrible experiences not of their own making. But most of those who have had bad things happen to them usually heal and go on with their lives, as hard as it may be. Others spend their time perpetuating their victimhood, finding hurtful intentions in others and constantly asking for sympathy. What do you know about these so-called eternal or professional victims? Take this quiz and see." . . .
Perpetual Victims Syndrome  "Check this out.
"When police in London arrest muslims for openly inciting violence and murder, it gets put in the category called "Islamophobia" on The Muslim News website. Anything to be portrayed as the victim....."

MRS. OBAMA'S TALL TALES OF RACIALIZED VICTIMHOOD
"Even as the first lady," she bemoaned, "not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf."
. . . "On David Letterman's show in 2012, the haute-couture-clad first lady recounted the same "incognito" Target visit to demonstrate her just-like-you bona fides. She chuckled as she shared how the shopper asked: "Can you reach on that shelf and hand me the detergent?" As the audience laughed with delight and Mrs. Obama grinned from ear to ear, she told Letterman: "I reached up, 'cause she was short, and I reached up, pulled it down — she said, 'Well, you didn't have to make it look so easy.' That was my interaction. I felt so good.' " . . .

Denzel vs. Michelle – Optimism vs. Victimhood  
michelle obama"I was driving the other day and listening to  Michelle Obama’s race obsessed commencement address at Tuskegee University founded by civil rights leader, Booker T. Washington, on Sean Hannity’s radio program.  By the time I got to my destination, I wanted to grab the closest razor and slit my wrists. When I got home, I read her entire speech and was stunned there were no reports of mass suicide by the graduates at the University over the weekend.
"What I heard was a speech that was negative, depressive and bleak and painted a hopeless future for these young people which gave them no opportunity other than to declare themselves victims of a continuing oppressive and racist society.
Denzel Washington"In stark contrast, I came across Denzel Washington’s commencement speech at Dillard University over the weekend.  It was uplifting and full of optimism.  He told the graduates to put God first in everything they do and to thank Him for grace, understanding, wisdom, their parents, love, kindness and humility.  He talked about having dreams but also setting life goals, annual goals, monthly goals, and even daily goals.  He stressed that goals are met through discipline and consistency and that hard work is what successful people do." . . .  Full article



Dr. Phyllis Chesler: "Hijab in the US navy; What the Iranians put on the head of the one female among the captured sailors says it all."


Prof. Phyllis Chesler  . . . "The fact that President Obama failed to mention that his sailors were in captivity even as he addressed the nation in his last State of the Union speech--is beyond shameful but alas, is merely more of the same.

"The fact that Secretary of State John Kerry would have us believe that his conversations with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif actually played a significant role in Iran's decision to release the sailors unharmed and quickly--is as shameless as everything else--such as the fact that the American administration has gone along with the pretense that the sailors had either done something "wrong," or that their boat had somehow mis-functioned.

"Then, there is at least one other thing.

"Dr. Walid Phares, on Facebook, called my attention to the fact that the single American female sailor in the photos is....wearing hijab. 

"What? Is that regulation American Navy attire for women? 

"Is this American sailor perhaps a religious Muslim?

"No. Iran is demonstrating that it is prepared to enforce its version of Shariah law, even upon infidels, when it has the power to do so. 

"America, like other Western countries, including Israel, has been busily integrating women into a previously all-male military. 
 . . .

King Obama is making no principled moves, none at all.

"The writer, a Shillman-Ginsburg Fellow at the Middle East Forum and recipient of the 2013 National Jewish Book Award, is the author of sixteen books, including Women and Madness, Woman's Inhumanity to Woman, and The New Anti-Semitism. She has written four studies about honor killing, Her latest books are An American Bride in Kabul, (Palgrave Macmillan) and Living History: On The Front Lines for Israel and the Jews.Professor Chesler may be reached at her website www.phyllis-chesler.com"

Iran HUMILIATES American Sailors — And Obama Administration THANKS Them For It!  . . . "The IRG told a different story. They said that the Americans were “snooping,” and Iran’s army chief said that the seizure of the boats was a rebuke to Congress. “This incident in the Persian Gulf, which probably will not be the American forces’ last mistake in the region, should be a lesson to troublemakers in the US Congress,”said Major General Hassan Firouzabadi. And according to Reuters, Biden was fibbing – the Iranians did in fact ask for an apology, with Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif leading the way.
They then released these photos:

"In his State of the Union address, Obama ignored the whole incident, naturally – even as he promised that he would see the Iranian deal through to the end. And he will, even if he has to become Iran’s PR machine to do it, at the expense of our own military men and women."
