Show This to Anyone Who Says Hillary Is a Sane Alternative to Trump

PJ Media

"I'm all for the bad guys getting what they deserve, but the point here is that people are trying to say that this woman is the level-headed adult in the room when it comes to foreign policy. Look in those eyes and tell me there aren't more than a couple of screws loose here."

Shock Report on Jobs Signals Obama Economy Is on Brink of Recession

Larry Kudlow "THE MAY JOBS REPORT IS A SHOCKER, WITH NONFARM PAYROLLS UP ONLY 38,000 AND PRIVATE JOBS UP A MERE 25,000. Investors and economists are making the case that this was a weird, one off, statistical glitch and that stronger employment is on the way. They might well be wrong.

"If you smooth out the numbers with a three month moving average, job increases have been slowing for five months. The three month pace in December was 281,000 jobs. In the May report, the pace nosedived to 107,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.7%, largely because 458,000 people left the labor force.

"This spells trouble for the economy. And if you step back and look at the whole business sector, a case can be made that the United States has been in a mild business recession for as much as a year, if not longer.
"Take business fixed investment in equipment, software, plants, buildings, and so forth. This has been slowing for six straight quarters. It even went negative in the first quarter on a year on year basis." . . .

Another book coming about the Clintons

Another anti-Clinton tell-all bookFor all of us who wondered what the Clintons were like in their private lives. However what passes itself off as a news article is nothing but a cheap commercial. Something like the Little Orphan Annie secret message urging little Ralphie: "Be sure to drink your ovaltine."

Former Secret Service officer Gary Byrne claims to expose the truth behind Hillary, Bill, and their public facade.
. . . "Posted directly outside President Clinton's Oval Office, Former Secret Service uniformed officer Gary Byrne reveals what he observed of Hillary Clinton's character and the culture inside the White House while protecting the First Family." . . .

How Bernie Sanders's Socialism Funds Massive Income Inequality

American Thinker "The next time Bernie Sanders does a sit-down interview with a major news anchor, he should be asked one simple question: why don’t you ever mention the huge one-percenter salaries and pensions given to government bureaucrats who administer socialist programs?

"After all, Bernie Sanders loves to rant against big corporations and Wall Street billionaires. His solution is to grow government, create more bureaucracy, hire more bureaucrats, and secretly give more bonuses to socialist bureaucrats. Today there are huge bonuses given to those who administer the hard-earned dollars of America’s middle class and poor workers. While many are familiar with the $90,000 bonus given to the former TSA security chief, even after his TSA agents failed to detect 95% of the weapons and bombs brought through airports to test detection procedures last year, there are many people, mostly in education, who receive salaries so large they are difficult to believe." . . .

Lovable Bernie whacks Israel

In the 1930s, the left opposed Britain's preparations to resist Nazi invasion, almost destroying that nation in the process. Now again, the left's inability to learn from history will kill many more. Uneducable fools. The Tunnel Dweller

Charles Krauthammer "Part of Bernie Sanders’ charm is that for all of his arm-waving jeremiads, he appears unthreatening. He’s the weird old uncle in the attic, Larry David’s crazy Bernie. It’s almost a matter of style. Who can be afraid of a candidate so irascible, grumpy, old-fashioned and unfashionable?

"After all, he’s not going to win the nomination, so what harm can he do? A major address at the party convention? A say in the vice presidential selection? And who reads party platforms anyway?

"Well, platforms may not immediately affect a particular campaign. But they do express, quite literally, the party line, a written record of its ideological trajectory.

"Which is why two of Sanders’ appointments to the 15-member platform committee are so stunning. Professor Cornel West not only has called the Israeli prime minister a war criminal but openly supports the BDS movement (boycott, divestment and sanctions), the most important attempt in the world to ostracize and delegitimize Israel." . . .
. . .
"This is an unusual argument for a Democratic platform committee, largely because it is logically and morally perverse. Israel did in fact follow such high-minded advice in 2005: It terminated its occupation and evacuated Gaza. That earned it (temporary) praise from the West. And from the Palestinians? Not peace, not reconciliation, not normal relations but a decade of unrelenting terrorism and war." (Emphasis mine, TD)

America's descent into the third world under Barack Obama

California, the promised land for generations.

Anti-Trump rioters are electing Trump one riot at a time "For many voters, the presidential election choice is No and No; none of the above. But as voters see pictures of rioters (and no, their violent activities don't deserve the gentle euphemism of protesters) at Donald Trump events, which go beyond burning American flags while waving Mexican flags, voters will turn to Donald Trump in disgust. While the increasingly irrelevant mainstream media won't cover these aspects of the riot and will blame Trump's rhetoric rather than the protesters, uh, rioters, the reality is seeping out as here at American Thinker.

"Don't rioters understand that voters across the country hearing chants of "Make America Mexico again" in English and Spanish reinforces Trump's message? Apparently not.

"But notice how the media commentators explode when a Hillary or Bernie event is interrupted by Trump supporters. Uh oh, hasn't happened, but the talking heads are still whining about Trump supporters as haters. And those "haters", who are expressing their constitutional rights, are increasing in number.

"Welcome to the riotous summer election season of 2016. It just might surpass the historic Democratic convention riots of 1968. "

Outrageous violence against Trump rally attendees [in] San Jose". . "We are not distant from the point where those elected from such communities will refuse to swear their allegiance to the Constitution, and will be given a pass. The rationale will go something like this.

He (she) was elected by this minority group and it is understandable that he/she would be uncomfortable pledging allegiance to the Constitution.Earlier this week, an elected lawmaker Louisiana’s Barbara Norton (D-Shreveport) had a problem with the Declaration of Independence.“Louisiana lawmaker Barbara Norton (D-Shreveport), argued that America’s founding document was racist….For the Declaration of Independence only Caucasians (were) free….” . . .

Below represents only Drudge coverage of America's descent into the third world:

Violence Breaks Out at Trump Rally in San Jose, Protesters Hurl Eggs, Throw Punches, Intimidate Supporters

San Jose protesters attack Trump supporters with punches, eggs

. . . "Trump supporter Debbie Tracey, a U.S. Navy veteran from San Jose, she came to hear Trump speak, she left his rally with two hats a T-shirt and a handful of signs that said "Veterans for Trump."

"Passing in front of a wall of protesters, many chanting in Spanish, she said she supported Trump's call for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"I'll go help build the wall because if you are going to come to this country, land of opportunity, you should be here legally," she said. "

MPD Union Leader: ‘Black Lives Matter Is A Terrorist Organization’

CBS Minnesota

. . . "Kroll’s harshest words were pointed at Black Lives Matter, who he described as a “terrorist organization.”

“ 'I don’t see Black Lives Matter as a voice for the black community in Minneapolis,” he said. “The disruption, the, you know, they firebombed the precinct. There were shootings outside the precinct, hundreds of thousands of dollars [of damage] to the precinct and squad cars.”

"Kroll said Officers Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, and their families, were all victims of the “obtrusive” investigation — all for “going to a 911 call and doing their job.”

“ 'It’s a happy day for them. The truth came out and they prevailed,” he said.

"Kroll ended the conference by criticizing the fact that the officers are now in the midst of a third investigation, at the hands of Minneapolis Police.

“ 'What other career do you get investigated three times for the same incident?” Kroll said." . . .

"Our media watchdogs" Plus a Chris Matthews/ Hillary Clinton update

UPDATE: Chris Matthews: Hillary Speech a ‘Masterpiece,’ ‘Exquisitely Written’ You mean her "Floyd R. Turbo" speech?

He described it as a “masterpiece” and “patriotic as hell,” adding that it was possibly a play to appeal to neoconservatives.

That's what he said. He said that.

Betrayed by an America-hating press . . . "As far as I'm concerned, any media face is guilty until proven innocent. I can find the truth on the web, often from much better sources. It takes a little more work, but the truth is worth it. If the big empires disappeared tomorrow, I would celebrate."

Civil Union: Networks Promoting Gay Agenda . . . "Nowhere is pro-gay bias more apparent than the three broadcast networks. ABC, CBS and NBC have all but abandoned objectivity in covering gay and LGBT issues. Network reporters and anchors often used the language of activists, asserting that conservatives “fight against protections for gay Americans” that gay marriage is “progress” and “morally right.” Some have even made explicit comparisons between gay issues and the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

Anchors Away -- Obama Sinks U.S. Navy

Daniel John Sobieski "As China builds military bases on man-made islands in the South China Sea, the staggering decline in U.S. naval readiness was made clear when a group of Navy captains testified before an unusual joint hearing of the House Armed Services Committee’s seapower and readiness subcommittees last week. It was made clear that President Ronald Reagan’s 600-ship Navy is a distant memory as we return to the Jimmy Carter era of ships that can’t sail and planes that can’t fly for want of spare parts.

"This sad state of affairs is accomplishing what the Japanese Imperial Navy could not -- defeat the U.S. Navy and leave the seas increasingly open to hostile adversaries and leaving us increasingly unable to come to the aid of our remaining allies." . . .

. . . "Naval commanders are worried that our ability to respond to such threats has been severely compromised by an Obama administration more concerned about rising sea levels than rising threats on those seas. The Navy captain’s Congressional testimony come after the Chinese announcement that it is building its second aircraft carrier to go along with a refurbished Soviet carrier, the Liaonng, commissioned by China in 2012 after extensive refitting of the 25-year-old vessel. As IBD has reported, the Liaoning is only the first step in the building of a blue-water navy capable of competing with our diminishing one, with Admiral Samuel J. Locklear III, chief of the U.S. Pacific Command, warning that the U.S. was losing its Pacific dominance to China:" . . .

"China is preparing for a naval confrontation with the United States. We may lose that confrontation in the South China Sea because the U.S. Navy is scavenging for spare parts."

And last comes the real kicker, Obama's Air Force:

Air Force Secretary Tells Grads to 'Follow the President's Lead'

"Before the United States Air Force Academy's class of 2016 Thursday, Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James gave an odd commencement address. Instead of dispensing advice or wisdom, James's speech was a fawning tribute to President Obama and his administration."
. . . "She frequently told the graduates to "follow the president's lead" and made only vague references to the graduates' achievements at the academy or their future service in the Air Force."

. . . And therefore you too must build and celebrate diverse and inclusive teams. You must foster an environment of integrity and dignity and respect for all and allow your teams to flourish in a culture free from sexual assault and harassment of any kind." . . .
