Krauthammer’s Take: Clinton E-mail Scandal ‘Is Completely Smothering Her Campaign’
"Charles Krauthammer pointed out that Hillary Clinton’s brazen defiance in the face of evidence that she lied is consistent with her history, but he also said that it is obscuring her message:"

Andrew C. McCarthy: If Hillary Is Corrupt, Congress Should Impeach Her  "The Framers gave Congress a tool to police corrupt executive-branch officials — Congress should use it."

"Why should the Justice Department do for Congress what Congress is unwilling to do for itself?"

CNN/ORC Poll: Trump More Favorable Than Clinton  "Trump leads Clinton among likely voters, 45 percent to 43 percent, but trails her among registered voters, 41 percent to 44 percent. A rising majority also say they think Clinton will win in November—59 percent, up from 55 percent in June."

Hillary 'Worked With' St. Teresa to Create a D.C. Adoption Center That Quickly Closed

"I was fortunate enough to work with her."

. . . "The two first met at the 1994 National Prayer Breakfast, where Mother Teresa was the keynote speaker. In her speech (which you can watch here), Mother Teresa spoke about the evil of abortion. "I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself," said the future saint. The pro-choice president and vice president, and their pro-choices wives, sat silently in the room as the rest of the attendees applauded." . . .

David French at NRO: Even if You Believe the Left’s Excuses, Hillary Clinton Still Violated Criminal Law  "In short, what the FBI file revealed was the extent of the Clinton deception operation, complete with lurid details — such as aides smashing old Blackberries with a hammer, an IT employee declaring an “oh s***” moment as he rushed to delete files, and Cheryl Mills participating as an attorney in the proceedings even though she was a witness and possible subject in the investigation.

"There are those on the Left side of the Internet who looked at the same report, read every word, and declared that it actually exonerated Clinton."

Clinton Scandals: Who Can Keep Up?  "One corruption update slimes into the next. 
"It literally is impossible to write quickly enough to stay abreast of the scandals engulfing Hillary Rodham Clinton.". . . 

The Clinton Revelations That Must Not Disappear

"1. The FBI investigation began because of a referral from the U.S. Intelligence Community Inspector General. This is not the vast right-wing conspiracy or one of Hillary Clinton’s partisan foes; the IG’s office is staffed by those whose professional duty is to protect our nation’s secrets." . . .
4. Clinton was obligated to get permission to use her personal device; at no time did she do so.

"Ace of Spades noticed, “Hillary’s Brain Damage came right at the sweet spot: It came to provide her an alibi, then left just in time to permit her to be president.” "Jeryl Bier reminds everyone that Hillary really cannot offer this excuse because she signed official documents affirming she had been properly briefed: 

Andrew C. McCarthy: Hillary Clinton’s Mind-Boggling FBI Interview – What Was Cheryl Mills Doing There?
. . . "For example, when asked about an email chain containing the symbol “(C)” – meaning “confidential,” a designation ubiquitous in classified documents – Clinton claimed not to know what it meant and, according to the notes, “could only speculate it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order.” This is a response so absurd as to be insulting (the interview notes do not tell us if the FBI asked her to find (A), (B) and (D) notations that would be necessary to have the “alphabetical order” story make sense – assuming, for argument’s sake that one would indulge the possibility that this could be a truthful answer from a classified information consumer as high-level as Clinton)." . . .

Obama disrespected on final Asia trip

Washington Times   "On President Obama’s final trip to Asia, his impending lame-duck status is showing.

"Mr. Obama, who arrived in Laos late Monday night to become the first U.S. president ever to visit the Southeast Asian country, is encountering more than his usual share of friction and confrontation on his 10th trip to the region.

"It started with his arrival at the airport in China, where Chinese officials failed to provide a portable staircase for Mr. Obama to disembark from the upper door of Air Force One with the typical grandiose visibility befitting a visiting head of state. Instead, the president emerged from a smaller staircase in the belly of the aircraft, and many saw it as a deliberate sign of disrespect by the Chinese.

"Republican nominee Donald Trump said he would have refused to meet with Chinese officials if they treated him like they treated Mr. Obama.

“ 'If that were me, I’d say, ‘You know what, folks, I respect you a lot, let’s close the doors, let’s get out of here,’ ” he said Monday.

"Mr. Obama downplayed the episode, and Chinese officials blamed the U.S. for not requesting a staircase." . . .

Disrespecting Obama  (Diss'ed for short on the streets) "Scott and Paul have already commented on the Chinese leaders’ calculated insults to Barack Obama when he landed in China for the G20 conference. But the hostility toward our president didn’t stop there.

Toon added by TD

"One of Obama’s priorities for the G20 meeting was to negotiate a joint effort in Syria with Vladimir Putin. So far, at least, that hasn’t happened. The main news about their meeting is the “death stare” that they exchanged:" . . .
A stare Obama generally uses only on Republicans.

Philippine president calls Obama an SOB  . . . "Let Duterte rant.  The U.S. should continue to speak out against this murderous rampage.

Thomas Lifson adds:

"How about Saudi Arabia, where they do much worse? In fact a lot of our allies have policies that violate our sense of rights. Why pick on the Philippines?" Rick Moran

Add to that Mr. Obama's refusal to back the Iranian Green Revolution against the Mullah's rule. TD

The president endures humiliation at the G20 for a toothless deal

. . . "Perhaps the unkindest cut of all came when Xi praised the Paris agreement to limit carbon emissions, the issue on which Obama had come to take a victory lap, "It was under Chinese leadership that much of this progress was made.' " . . .

Mr. Obama isn't the only American the Chinese dislike

Cal State LA offers segregated housing for black students

Next they will want their own drinking fountains.

Back when this was a noble cause, not PC

Emphasis on the word "California".

The College Fix

‘A safe space for Black CSLA students …’

"California State University Los Angeles recently rolled out segregated housing for black students.

"The arrangement comes roughly nine months after the university’s Black Student Union issued a set of demands in response to what its members contend are frequent “racist attacks” on campus, such as “racially insensitive remarks” and “microaggressions” by professors and students. One demand was for a “CSLA housing space delegated for Black students.”

“ '[It] would provide a cheaper alternative housing solution for Black students. This space would also serve as a safe space for Black CSLA students to congregate, connect, and learn from each other,” the demand letter stated.

"The newly debuted Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community “focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory,” Cal State LA spokesman Robert Lopez told The College Fix via email." . . .

Fracking Didn't Cause Oklahoma Earthquake

Daniel John Sobieski   "The earth moved for environmental extremists Saturday when a 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck Oklahoma. As soon as the first aftershock, the greenies were in full voice blaming fracking, the technology that has fueled America’s oil and natural gas boom.

"Oklahoma state regulators ordered 37 disposal wells used by frackers shut downand Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein tweeted:

Fracking causes polluted drinking water + earthquakes. The #GreenNewDeal comes with none of these side effects, Oklahoma. #BanFracking

"Hydraulic fracturing, the technical term, does not cause earthquakes nor has there ever been evidence that it contaminates drinking water. Fracking has been used in oil and gas production in Oklahoma since 1949 and now, more than six decades later, the chicken littles of the left are claiming it now causes major destructive earthquakes? As Investor’s Business Daily editorialized:" . . .

Shock example of media censorship caught on tape: “SHUT IT DOWN!”: REUTERS ORDERS CAMERAMAN TO KILL POSITIVE TRUMP FOOTAGE

"As Justin Raimondo revealed in an article for the LA Times, the mainstream media has openly dispensed with the pretense objectivity during this election cycle in an attempt to sink Trump’s campaign."

InfoWars  "A shock example of anti-Trump media censorship was caught on tape when Reuters ordered its cameraman to cut live footage of Trump receiving praise from African-American Bishop Wayne T. Jackson in Detroit."

. . . "Perhaps aware of the devastating impact the optics of this moment would have on the media’s efforts to demonize Trump as a racist bigot, a voice is heard off-camera saying, “He’s getting a shawl!”

"The cameraman then says, “I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say….I’ll take a demotion for this…. you?”

“ 'Shut it down,” insists the director,” followed by another voice asking, “Shut this down?”

“ 'Yes Michael, do it,” orders the director.

"We then hear the word “blackout” and the camera shakes before the live feed is cut.

“ 'Reuters was primary video feed for the event, all other video delivery services were coming from the Reuters feed. When Reuters shut down, all other outlets lost the broadcast,” reports the Conservative Treehouse.

"Right Side Broadcasting responded to the controversy by offering the cameraman a job, promising to pay him much more than Reuters." . . .

The professor says, "Get Out of My Class and Leave America"

Mike Adams

Author’s Note: The following column is comprised of excerpts taken from my first lectures on the first day of classes this semester at UNC-Wilmington. I reproduced these remarks with the hope that they would be useful to other professors teaching at public universities all across America. Feel free to use this material if you already have tenure.

"Welcome back to class, students! I am Mike Adams your criminology professor here at UNC­ Wilmington. Before we get started with the course I need to address an issue that is causing problems here at UNCW and in higher education all across the country. I am talking about the growing minority of students who believe they have a right to be free from being offended. If we don’t reverse this dangerous trend in our society there will soon be a majority of young people who will need to walk around in plastic bubble suits to protect them in the event that they come into contact with a dissenting viewpoint. That mentality is unworthy of an American. It’s hardly worthy of a Frenchman. Let’s get something straight right now. You have no right to be unoffended. You have a right to be offended with regularity. It is the price you pay for living in a free society. If you don’t understand that you are confused and dangerously so. In part, I blame your high school teachers for failing to teach you basic civics before you got your diploma. Most of you went to the public high schools, which are a disaster. Don’t tell me that offended you. I went to a public high school. " . . .

1916: U.S. Facing War With Mexico

NY Times   — "Army officers assigned to various schools throughout the country have been ordered to join their commands on the Mexican border. To facilitate this, the War Department has arranged for these schools to graduate their classes ahead of time. External signs indicate that war is now inevitable between the United States and Mexico. The pourparlers between Generals Alvaro Obregon and Hugh L. Scott concerning the immediate withdrawal of American troops from Mexican territory do not appear to have resulted in any understanding. — The New York Herald, European Edition, May 13, 1916"

World Journal (China): ‘Five Things You Should Know’ – Barack Obama Snubs Hillary Clinton   . . . "Martha’s Vineyard. Over the weekend, Hillary Clinton held several fundraising parties on this traditionally wealthy resort island. U.S. President Barack Obama took his family on vacation there for 16 days. Earlier, the media had reported that Obama would support Clinton at the fundraisers, but during Clinton’s stay on the island, Obama strolled on the beach, watched fireworks, and ultimately did not show up at Clinton’s fundraisers. On the Daily Mail’s headline, the word “snub” was used." . . .

The 5 most outrageous things Hillary Clinton said in her FBI interview

CNBC

. . . "Here are five of the most outrageous statements Clinton made in that three-and-a-half hour FBI interview:

1. She cited her 2012 concussion as the reason that she cannot remember details of briefings during her "transition out of office."

2. She said she never even thought whether emails she exchanged on a future U.S. drone attack should be classified.

3. She said she thought the "C" before a paragraph indicated alphabetical order. The C actually stands for "classified."

4. She said no one ever raised concerns to her about her use of a private email server.

5. She said she could not recall any training on how to handle classified information.

What's more, Clinton aides told the FBI that the Secretary of State frequently replaced her Blackberry phone and the whereabouts of her old device would become "unknown." The FBI report suggests there were at least 13 different devices used.

"You're going to hear on the mainstream media all weekend a lot of supposedly objective pundits insist the above revelations offer no "smoking gun." And that may be true from a legal standpoint, but we're in the middle of an election and these statements are poison for Clinton and cannon fodder for Donald Trump. 

Obama’s Iran Deal Is a Fraud on the American People

Ali Reza Eshraghi

Andrew C. McCarthy

"He and Kerry worked with Tehran to excuse and ‘exempt’ its flouting of its commitments."

. . . "The Institute for Science and International Security (hereafter, the Institute) reported on Thursday that Iran was not in full compliance with its JCPOA commitments on Implementation Day, as was required — we were led to believe — before Iran was to get sanctions relief. What’s more, the Obama administration not only well knew that Iran was not in compliance; it also colluded with Iran, through the secretive JCPOA device known as the “Joint Commission,” in order to exempt Iran’s multiple violations from compliance requirements. 

"Got it? As Obama and Kerry were telling you that Iran had “fully implemented its required commitments,” and that the administration would continue working energetically to ensure future continued “full compliance” with those commitments, Obama and Kerry were working with Iran to excuse its flouting of its commitments — and, it turns out, to lay the groundwork for future “exemptions” from compliance." . . .

Meet the mastermind behind Clinton’s massive email coverup

NY Post

. . . "Yet despite signs Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills obstructed efforts by investigators to obtain Clinton’s emails, the FBI invited Mills to attend Hillary’s interview at FBI headquarters as one of her lawyers.

“ 'It’s absolutely outrageous,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.

“ 'The FBI saw massive document destruction and clear intent to withhold material evidence,” he added, “and they just ignored that obstruction, and even let her sit in on the interview.' ” . . .

WAS IT SOMETHING HE SAID?

Power Line  "The Chinese government found a new way to express its contempt for Barack Obama and the United States yesterday. The authorities snubbed Obama upon his arrival in Hangzhou before the start of the G20 conference. According to the Guardian: “[Obama] was forced to disembark from Air Force One through a little-used exit in the plane’s belly after no rolling staircase was provided when he landed in the eastern Chinese city on Saturday afternoon.”

"And that’s not all! “When Obama did find his way on to a red carpet on the tarmac below there were heated altercations between US and Chinese officials, with one Chinese official caught on video shouting: ‘This is our country! This is our airport!’” I think that’s what Secretary of State John Kerry calls nineteenth-century thinking.

"The Guardian quotes the New York Times report: “The reception that President Obama and his staff got when they arrived here Saturday afternoon was bruising, even by Chinese standards.”

"Was it something he said? The Guardian consider the possibilities, including the possibility that Obama declined the standard red carpet treatment. I think we can rule that out. The execrable Susan Rice didn’t have a face-saving explanation ready to offer. Rice commented: “They did things that weren’t anticipated.' ”
