The secret city of London (which is not part of London) explained – bet you didn’t know this…

The Vintage News

"The Great City of London, known for its historical landmarks, modern skyscrapers, ancient markets and famous bridges. It’s arguably the financial capital of the world and home to over eleven thousand people.

"Wait, what? Eleven… thousand?

"That’s right: but the City of London is a different place from London — though London is also known for its historical landmarks, modern skyscrapers, ancient markets, famous bridges and is home to the government, royal family and seven million people.

"But, if you look map of London crafted by a careful cartographer that map will have a one-square mile hole near the middle — it’s here where the City of London lives inside of the city named London.

"Despite these confusingly close names the two Londons have separate city halls and elect separate mayors, who collect separate taxes to fund separate police who enforce separate laws….OK wait – watch the video, it will explain it better than I can . . ."

Hat tip to Ian Dewar of the UK

While administration officials continue to insist no ransom paid for hostages, Iran says differently

Rick Moran  "The administration's continued insistence that it didn't pay $400 million in cash to ransom American prisoners in Iran is looking ridiculous in the face of Iranian statements in the past and the way most other nations interpreted the payment." . . .
. . . 

"If it was not intended to be secret, why did the administration keep the transaction from the House and Senate intelligence committees?

"One of the hostages claims that his plane sat on the runway for hours waiting for the plane with the $400 million in cash: . . .

Update: Iran: $400 Million in Cash Was Part of ‘Expensive Price’ to Free U.S. Hostages  . . . "The footage, which could not be independently verified, shows images of large stacks of hard currency and features claims that the Obama administration sent this money over as part of an effort to free several U.S. hostages. The White House vehemently denied these claims this week following new reports about the cash exchange.

"BBC Persian reporter Hadi Nili posted the footage on Twitter, describing it as showing the “pallets of cash” and quoting officials as saying “this was just part of the ‘expensive price’ to release Americans.' ”   Iran owns Barack Obama, lock, stock, and barrel.

. . . 

"When the Iranians and most of the rest of the world believes that ransom was paid to get our hostages released, the administration simply doesn't have a leg to stand on.  They can claim no ransom was paid until they are blue in the face and it won't change the facts.

"President Obama is fond of saying Republicans refuse to accept reality.  The administration not only refuses to accept reality in this case, they are actively lying to the American people."

Vacation time in Martha's Vineyard. Again.

Don't get your hopes up; Obama's administration is still on the job, regulating our lives.

UK Mail: Inside the Obama's $12m summer vacation spot: Seven bedrooms, a tennis court, an infinity pool and a manicurist on call

"In the middle of Mr Obama's vacation last year, the terrorist group released the first of several videos showing the decapitation of a Western citizen. 

"While Mr Obama was forced to return to Washington at least once during the trip, he did return to the island where he was pictured laughing with friends on the golf course as the nation mourned for fallen photojournalist James Foley. " . . .

When The Going Gets Tough

"In this tumultuous and wildly volatile political season, it's almost refreshing to see that some things never change. In this case, the fact that the Obama family is winging their way to yet another taxpayer funded multi-million dollar 5-star vacation in Martha's Vineyard andcoincidentally getting the hell out of Dodge just as fresh feces is hitting the fan." . . .

Also in the news as Barry heads out to the golf courses is his unprecedented commutation of hundreds of federal sentences for prisoners who were in the pokey for (ahem) mostly low level drug offenses.  Granted, many violent criminals plead guilty to lower level drug offenses in exchange for not being tried for their bigger crimes...but that's hardly the president's concern.

 

Shattering the Crass Ceiling

Ruth King  "Hillary Clinton appeals to women on the myth that she will shatter a "glass ceiling" that impedes women from high office.  But that glass ceiling has already been shattered by women more talented and more courageous, who have fought political battles in male-dominated tribal nations where women are derided."

Lets look at a few women who are head and shoulders above the one this American culture has deemed a "champion". We have only listed their names here but the linked article discusses each in more detail.

Hillary is no Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. . .
Hillary Clinton is no Margaret Thatcher. . . (The Iron Lady)
Hillary is no Angela Merkel. . .
Hillary is no Corazón Aquino. . .

. . . "Hillary is more akin to Argentina's former president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who was elected on the coattails of her husband, the previous president, Nestor Kirchner.  Kirchner was a liar, a grifter, and a corrupt leader who enabled Iran in Argentina.

"Hillary also bears a strong similarity to Dilma Rousseff of Brazil, who started her political career as a Marxist guerrilla in the 1970s against Brazil's military dictatorship.  The disgraced President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva – president from 2003 to 2011 – mentored her into becoming Brazil's first female head of state as well as in chicanery that led to impeachment.  She was also an advocate for nationalization and big "progressive "government.

"It may be high time for America to have a female president – but not in this election, and not Hillary Clinton."

What's playing on the Bill and Hill Show today?

Tapper: Oops, Hillary did it again!  (Video ). . . "Before we get to more recent attempts to lie her way out of this, Tapper points out that Comey did say Hillary didn’t lie … to the FBI. That would have brought an indictment for obstruction of justice, which is why Hillary didn’t press her luck in the interrogation. But as Tapper points out, that’s not the question Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked. He asked Hillary if her public statements — including the repeated claims that she had never transmitted classified information herself — were lies." . . .

Hillary's campaign denies FBI, IRS investigations into Clinton Foundation  " 'There's no basis to believe that. I have no knowledge of that," Brian Fallon said Wednesday evening during an appearance on Fox News." . . .

From Israel: Poll: Most Young Whites Think Clinton Broke Law  "Young Americans are divided over Hillary Clinton’s handling of her email account while she was secretary of state, with most young whites saying she intentionally broke the law and young people of color more likely to give Clinton the benefit of the doubt." . . .

Neither Trump nor Clinton is well-liked by young adults overall, with just 38 percent saying they have a favorable view of Clinton and even fewer — 21 percent — saying they have a favorable view of Trump. 

Published on Oct 16, 2015, which shows the long-term issue Hillary has become.

Arrested ISIS Sympathizer Claims Fellow Militants Are In Mexico . . . " A Department of Justice press release stated that Hendricks tried to recruit and train people in the United States to commit terrorist acts. “Hendricks allegedly told another person that his goal was to create a sleeper cell to be trained and housed at a secure compound that would conduct attacks in the United States.  He mentioned that potential targets included military members whose information had been released by ISIL and the woman who organized the Draw Prophet Mohammad contest,” the DOJ press release said." . . .

Islamists celebrate knife attack in London

'NICE TO WAKE UP TO SUCH NEWS' Vile ISIS supporters celebrate Russell Square ‘terror’ attack just hours after knife bloodbath

As suspected, the mass stabbing attack in London that killed an American woman and injured 5 others, WAS by a MUSLIM, a SOMALI MUSLIM from Norway  Not a "Norwegian man", but a Somali Muslim living in Norway.  

"IGNORE REPORTS OUT OF THE UK carried by the sharia-compliant media blaming it on “mental health issues” of a Norwegian of Somali origin (never mentioning his Muslim origin, of course, that would be ‘racist’)"

Much photo coverage in the UK Sun  Is anyone in the West still complaining about the "militarized police"?

The Met Police unveiled its new fast response anti-terror unit
yesterday. The officers will be on London's streets today to
reassure the public. Wearing masks in their home country yet.

Czech Republic President Milos Zeman says: “We must bar Muslim refugees to prevent barbaric attacks

Oh, by the way, Obama reaches goal of 10,000 Syrian refugees admitted into US

One reason why these feelings prevail:

How We Ended Up with Two Manifestly Unfit Candidates

National Review  . . . "Consider: The presidential nominee of the Democratic party, a haranguing schoolmarm who has spent the last 30 years exploiting her political connections to enrich herself, endangered national security in her most recent stint in public office, and would almost surely be in prison had she a different surname. When not breaking federal law, she promises to entrench and expand on many of the policies of Barack Obama, and almost certainly ensure that the Supreme Court has a secure liberal majority for the next 20 years. 

"Not to be outdone, though, the presidential nominee of the Republican party is a proto-fascist reality-television boss who defends the massacre at Tiananmen Square, mocks handicapped reporters, and attacks the parents of fallen American soldiers. When he is not attending to the woodland creature that perches on his head, he is proposing tariffs that, if implemented, would be economically ruinous; threatening to withdraw from the military alliance that is almost entirely responsible for the stability of postwar Europe; and retweeting white supremacists." . . .Ian Tuttle

Dances With Iranians

Obama dances the jizya*  . . . "The Iranians know desperation when they see it and Obama was desperate for the appearance of success in the Middle East. Seems we have a president more concerned with his image than with the honor and reputation of the U.S. and its citizens. Compare this to Stephen Decatur, the hero of the Tripoli wars:

He and nine volunteers made straight for the gunboat and borded her, with Decatur leading the charge. They were outnumbered five to one but fought ferociously. Decatur found the burly Muslim captain who killed his brother, and immediately confronted him...

"Decatur, and the men he led, must be rolling over in their graves."

*Jizya (Extortion)  "Muhammad clearly established that people of other religions have to pay a poll tax to Muslims called the jizya, as a reminder of their inferior status." . . . 

Report: DOJ Officials Warned Obama Admin that $400 Million Iran Transfer Looked Like ‘Ransom’  . . . "Now, we are learning that senior Justice Department officials even warned the Obama administration and the State Dept. that the money would look like a ‘ransom payment.’ " . . .

Legal Insurrection

Legal Insurrection: It sounds more like a ransom payment…. . .  . " 'The payment also came when Iran and the West agreed on a nuclear deal. Obama celebrated the deal and the release by saying “the time was right to resolve this dispute as well.” However, Obama never mentioned that they just sent $400 million “in an unmarked cargo plane.”

. . .  The Wall Street Journal explained how the deal happened:" . . .

IBD: Paying Ransom To Iran Endangers Americans Everywhere  . . . "Virtually all experts on terrorism would agree that paying ransom to terrorists is a bad idea. Once you pay for a group of people and show you're weak that way, you guarantee that there will be more innocent people snatched -- an endless cycle of kidnappings and ransom demands. It's a very bad idea, and contrary to long-standing U.S. policy. Yet, that's exactly what the Obama administration did." . . .

Don't expect the same from Obama and Company. Democrats made a big deal out of Iran-Contra for years — even though, at least, Iran-Contra led to the Sandinistas eventually holding elections and peacefully transferring power there. That won't happen in Iran, thanks to Obama's and Kerry's groveling policy toward the mullahs in Tehran. They're on their way to having a nuclear weapon, thanks to our inept policy. And, unlike Iran-Contra, Democrats will pretend nothing wrong happened at all.

PJ Media: White House: Cash Airlift Wasn't Ransom for Hostages, Negotiators Just 'Succeeded'  . . . "President Obama said at the time that “with the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well." The White House did not disclose the $400 million airlift.

"White House press secretary Josh Earnest today branded the revelations a scandal only in the minds of "those who are flailing in their attempt to justify their continued opposition to the deal to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.' " . . .
