Russian rumors, Captain Planet and giant joints at the DNC

Jonathan Morpurgo blows up his 51-foot joint

"So now the Russians are involved. Yes! According to rumors circulating here - and if we can't trust circulating rumors, what can we trust? - it was the Russians who leaked the Democratic National Committee emails, because they wanted to embarrass Hillary Clinton. The theory is that the Russians are secretly supporting Donald Trump, as evidenced by the following evidence:

• "Ivanka" sounds kind of Russian.
• Vladimir Putin has been wearing a baseball cap that says "Make America Great Again."

"In an effort to end the email controversy, the DNC has ritually banished Debbie Wasserman Schultz to a Motel 6 in southern Delaware, but supporters of Bernie Sanders are still outraged. Granted, Sanders supporters are always outraged, but now they're REALLY outraged, to the point where convention organizers have equipped the podium at the Wells Fargo Center with a Unity Water Cannon." . . .

Racist! Racist I tell you!

Wayne Christian  "The hypocrisy of the Democrat Party never ceases to amaze me!

"This photo taken at the Democrat Convention shows that the party requires photo identification to participate as a delegate at convention. This is the same party that describes Voter ID as an "unnecessary restriction on those seeking to exercise freedom"."

SOMEBODY CALL AL SHARPTON: THE MIAMI BEACH AIR SHOW IS RACIST

"I love a good crazy conspiracy theory. Not that I believe them, but I find them interesting, especially if they come from the left side of crazy. The best one I’ve found in a while involves the City of Miami Beach, FL using an air show to drive blacks away. In a world where everything is racist, of course an air show is racist.

"Luther Campbell, who I’m pretty sure is the guy from rap group 2 Live Crew, wrote this for the Miami New Times:

"Miami Beach’s New Air Show Is Actually Racist Ploy to Drive Black Tourists Away" . . .

'Shame! Shame!' Wasserman Schultz Booed at DNC Over 'E-MAILS'

"Ever faithful to their audience, MSNBC reported "cheers" for Schultz, neglecting the loud boos and protest signs in the audience." . . .

PJ Media  . . . "Nevertheless, Wasserman Schultz has become one of the most controversial figures at the convention. On Monday, former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell told The Hill that if it were up to him, she would not even address the convention. Many sign-bearing hecklers seem to agree with that conclusion." .  . .

JULIAN ASSANGE Slams “Corrupt” Hillary Clinton in First Interview Following Wikileaks DNC Email Release (VIDEO)

"Assange told Democracy Now that it’s quite remarkable what happened in the last few days. He slammed ‘corrupt’ Hillary Clinton:" . . .

So that’s a very interesting signaling by Hillary Clinton that if you act in a corrupt way that benefits Hillary Clinton, you will be taken care of. Why does she need to put that out? Certainly, it’s not a signal that helps with the public at all. It’s not a signal that helps with unity at the DNC, at the convention. It’s a signal to Hillary Clinton partisans to keep on going on, you’ll be taken care of. But it’s a very destructive signal for a future presidency, because it’s—effectively, it’s expanding the Overton window of corruption. It doesn’t really matter what you do, how you behave; as long as that is going to benefit Hillary Clinton, you’ll be protected.

Irony! Guess why Putin has cause to get even with HRC. Speaking of Russian elections, Hillary "also argued that rigged elections prevent the people from having their voices heard."

Wikileaks reveals apparent sale of presidential appointments by DNC  "It has always been taken for granted that presidents appoint wealthy donors to commissions. . .  But we have never before seen evidence of the way the transactions are carried out. However, thanks to Wikileaks, we have an actual spreadsheet listing donors and possible purchases of office being circulated among DNC officials."

. . . so getting to the bottom of this scandal requires the election of Donald Trump, the appointment of a aggressive attorney general . . ."

Wonder what emails Wikileaks will release next...  "My question is this: what do they release on Thursday, the day Clinton delivers the acceptance speech?  I don't know, but there is probably a little panic over at the Clinton headquarters."

Now It's Getting In Tents

Clinton’s VP pick Kaine: Promoting jihadis in America in exchange for cash

Karin McQuillan  "Breitbart has reported that Clinton’s V.P. pick Tim Kaine is among the top anti-Israel senators.  He is the top recipient of PAC funds from George Soros’s anti-Israel group, J Street.  He distinguished himself as one of eight senators to walk out on Benjamin Netanyahu’s historic speech to a joint session of Congress warning against the so-called Iran deal.  

"Kaine’s record on the Islamic threat here in America is far, far worse than that." . . .

The New York Sun sees Kaine as one of the few senators who fully backed the Obama-Hillary Middle East disaster, including the open disrespect and hostility to our ally, Israel.

However,  Kaine hailed as strong supporter of Israel  . . . "Kaine’s appointment was also viewed through the lens of the U.S-Israel relationship. Kaine is a fervent supporter of the Iran nuclear deal, and in March 2015 he was one of the few Democrats who boycotted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial speech. In an interview with the Forward, Kaine criticized Netanyahu and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer for going along with some in the Republican Party who want to “push Democrats out of the relationship with Israel.”

Kaine Refused To Sign Letter Urging Robust U.S. Military Aid To Israel  "Sen. Tim Kaine was revealed to be one of only 17 senators not to sign a letter urging President Barack Obama in April to increase the U.S. military aid package to the Jewish state.  " . . .The letter, sponsored by Chris Coons and Lindsey Graham, was a bipartisan appeal to Obama for a “robust” new military aid package “that increases aid to Israel and retains the current terms of the existing aid program.”

"Eighty-three senators signed the letter while 13 Democrats, three Republicans, and one Independent declined to do so, including Sen. Bernie Sanders." . . .

DNC has Hillary's back

As far back as Oct 2015 this was discussed: Democratic National Committeewoman says her party is 'clearing a path' for Hillary because 'the women in charge' want it that way  . . . "Five of the nine elected leaders of the DNC are women, including chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz – a Florida congresswoman – and a majority of the vice chairs.

"Before Wasserman Schultz assumed her post at the DNC, she eagerly campaigned for Clinton during the then-New York senator's 2008 presidential run." . . .

Media Job #1 – Protect Hillary from #DNCLeak fallout . . . " It will only take a few percent of Democrats to stay home or run to Green Party candidate Jill Stein for Hillary to be damaged in the general election.

"The media cannot let that happen. So expect several narratives to permeate the convention coverage.

"The first and easiest narrative of the DNC leak will be that Hillary had nothing to do with the anti-Bernie shenanigans, she didn’t know about it, and she can’t be blamed. But that will not be enough.

"So the media will have to portray Hillary as the real victim of the DNC leak, just like she’s the victim of her home server scandal and every other scandal that has tainted her career.  “Hillary as victim” is a time tested remedy which has worked so many times in the past." . . .

Clinton invites families of blacks killed by police to speak at convention  . . . “ 'The Fraternal Order of Police is insulted and will not soon forget that the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton are excluding the widows and other family members of police officers killed in the line of duty who were victims of explicit and not implied racism,” Mr. McNesby said in a statement.

"He said it’s “sad that to win an election Mrs. Clinton must pander to the interests of people who do not know all the facts, while the men and women they seek to destroy are outside protecting the political institutions of this country.

“ 'Mrs. Clinton, you should be ashamed of yourself, if that is possible.' ” . . 

Bernie Sanders Supporters Chant ‘Lock Her Up’ in Philadelphia Protest Against Clinton

LYIN’ HILLARY JUST SAID BENGHAZI ‘WASN’T HER BALL TO CARRY’

HERE IT IS: Detailed List of Findings in Wikileaks DNC Document Dump

Jim Hoft

"On Friday Wikileaks released nearly 20,000 hacked emails it says are from the accounts of Democratic National Committee officials.

"The documents were released just days before the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia.

"The hacked emails revealed the DNC’s hatred for Bernie Sanders and his movement. The documents reveal the party’s hidden ties with the liberal media. The emails reveal the heights of dishonesty of the party infrastructure.

"Now there is a list of a few of the most shocking emails released by Wikileaks.
"The list was compiled thanks to the work of Reddit Bernie Sander supporters and Donald Trump supporters:

Here is just a sample of the list:

The DNC/Wikileaks story continues to unfold

DNC Wikileaks hack reveals CNN in bed with Dems  "Another media outlet is busted. 

"In his piece entitled “DNC Wikileaks hack reveals Politico in bed with Dems,”American Thinker editor Thomas Lifson recently busted an “influential reporter” at Politico for running an article past a Democrat official for review before he submitted it to his Politico editor.

"Now, another email made public by Wikileaks documents Jason Seher, Writer/Producer of The Lead with Jake Tapper, coordinating the content of an interview between Tapper and a representative of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Pablo Manriquez (AKA: “Pablo”), DNC Director of Hispanic Media." . . .

. . . 

“ 'Freundlich,” mentioned in the email above, is DNC Staffer Christina Freundlich. She was recently featured in a Daily Caller article describing a DNC scheme “intended to portray Trump as a misogynist who sexually harasses his female employees” – a plot revealed here by Wikileaks.  

“ 'Dillon,” also mentioned above, is DNC Research Director Lauren Dillon. 

"Clearly, at the DNC, Opposition (AKA: “oppo”) Research includes poly-psyops(political psychological-warfare operations) based on lies.  What a surprise!"

Can someone tell Mr. Trump that the media is with Mrs. Clinton?

. . . "Question:   What is a presidential candidate doing talking about a National Enquirer story?  It may be true that The National Enquirer has published some truth in the past.  However, they've also published a lot of rumors!

"Solution:  Mr. Trump should learn how to say "no comment, next question."  He gains nothing from letting the media drag him into these controversies.

"In other words, Mr. Trump does not have to answer every question, especially from a media that would rather see Hillary Clinton win the election." . . .

Leaked Emails Show DNC Officials Planned Anti-Trump Protests
"The release of Democratic National Committee emails by WikiLeaks Friday reveals that DNC officials planned anti-Donald Trump protests.

"In multiple emails, DNC officials signed off and acknowledged the existence of two anti-Donald Trump protests in South Bend, IN and Billings, MT. The release of nearly 20,000 emails is the first in a WikiLeaks “Hillary Leaks” series." . . . 

#DemExit: Bernie Supporters React to #DNCLeaks
“So does Bernie want to take back his endorsement yet?”

. . . "Instead of treating Sanders with impartiality, the DNC exhibits resentful disdain toward him and the thousands of disenfranchised voters he could have brought into the party." . . .

Leaked emails aside, the DNC has been a long-standing problem  "It has been an open secret for some time that one of the weakest elements of the extended Democratic Party family under President Obama has been the Democratic National Committee. This neglected institution has become a public embarrassment on the eve of a national convention designed to highlight party unity."

Hillary's Democrat White Guilt Convention

Mike Brown’s Mother to Speak at DNC Convention – Just After She Robs and Viciously Beats Her Mother-in-Law   . . . "In October 2014 Michael Brown’s mother, grandmother and auntiebrawled on the corner of Canfield and West Florissant over the rights to T-shirt sales. Brown’s mother Leslie McSpadden reportedly assaulted and robbed grandmother Pearlie Gordon of $1,400." . . .

Psychodynamics of Obama's and Hillary's 'White Guilt Forever' Conversation   . . . " Nevertheless, Democrats anticipate future generations of guilty whites confronting the legacy of slavery.

"The Democrat convention will be WGF Woodstock.  Hillary Clinton will not let go the manipulative power of the greatest guilt trip ever.  She neither understands nor cares about the tragedy of WGF: it psychologically enslaves the putative evildoers, while excusing black people from dealing with the violence they inflict upon themselves and securing their own lives, freedom, and happiness."

Hillary's America isn't just about Hillary

The reason that liberals hate Christianity, but ignore Islam

Bookworm Room  "One of the things that’s frustrating for non-liberals and non-Progressives is Leftists’ refusal to look Islam in the face (so to speak).  Yes, there are crazy people who are Christians and there are entire Christian sects that are crazy (such as the Westboro Baptists or Warren Jeffs’ polygamist Mormon cult).  The fact remains, however, that Christians as a whole, whether they belong to big churches or small ones, do not embrace or practice terrorism to achieve their political or religious goals.

"Muslims, by contrast, routinely practice terrorism to achieve goals that are simultaneously religious and political, owing to Islam’s fusion of God and state.  Even though it’s remarkably simple to tie Islam to terrorism (9/11, the underwear bomber, the Fort Hood shooter, the attempted Portland Christmas tree massacre, the Boston Marathon bombing), Leftists scurry around like cockroaches exposed to the light in their desperate attempt to avoid acknowledging Islam’s violent heart." . . .

As for me, I think that people who are willing to fight and die for their country in a constitutionally-bound military run by civilians, in a nation controlled by the First Amendment, should be allowed to practice their religion without Leftists denying them the comfort of knowing that, as they go into battle, God walks at their side.

Remember this from the 2012 DNC convention?

 

What's being said about Wikileaks and Hillary Clinton

Will any of this matter to Hillary's voters? I have to doubt it will.  Her voters are those who knew all about her and husband Bill's treatment of women and yet they all greet them adoringly upon their entrances. Al Gore declared Bill would be thought of as the greatest president ever.
Somehow American voters have a way of choosing mediocre to evil people to lead this nation.  TD

Lets begin with three by Thomas Lifson at American Thinker:

Wikileaks spoils DNC’s Philadelphia convention plan

"Plans for a unity-fest in Philadelphia, intended to contrast with the Trump-Cruz imbroglio in Cleveland, took a big hit Friday, with the release of 19,252 emails hacked from the DNC by a Wikileaks hacker calling himself Guccifer2. The trove of documents is still being reviewed by analysts, but there are already multiple scandals apparent.

"Here is the Tweet by which Wikileaks released the file of purloined emails,so readers can follow the link and search the email files themselves."

Lifson's article links to this: 

Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department. . . "In all, governments and corporations involved in the arms deals approved by Clinton’s State Department have delivered between $54 million and $141 million to the Clinton Foundation as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to the Clinton family, according to foundation and State Department records. The Clinton Foundation publishes only a rough range of individual contributors’ donations, making a more precise accounting impossible." . . .

Then there is this comment in Lifson's article:

 I would guess that atheists have a very high level of support for Democrats, and yet here is a Democrat official anticipating the fun of ginning up anti-atheist bigotry. How well will that sit with the atheists?

Wikileaks reveals Debbie Wasserman Schultz intrigue with MSNBC "It’s not exactly an arm’s length relationship between the Democratic Party and MSNBC.  Debbie Wasserman Schultz was furious on May 18 when Mika Brzezinski called for her to step down as head of the DNC because of her obvious bias against Sanders.  She tried to pull strings to get an apology, or at least change the narrative, including speaking with Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC, and plotting with Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd on how to influence his colleagues
