Consensus is that Hillary won the night

Analysis: Trump Opens Strong, Then Takes the Bait and Blows Opportunities   . . . "Various quasi-scientific "flash" polls (distinct from unscientific online polls) show a Clinton win of varying degrees, with a CNN focus group of undecided voters in Florida also breaking hard for her.  Video of Luntz's CBS focus group is HERE.  Also, Team Trump's spin doesn't seem terribly enthusiastic."

Mika Despondent Over Debate: Hillary ‘Amazing’ But Trump Will Win More Voters  . . . " Hillary was obviously the more prepared, but on a gut level Trump connected with many Americans. He also avoided two major pitfalls: he never got too nasty with Hillary, and though he’s obviously not as knowledgeable on the details, he never got caught out on any embarrassing factual mistake." . . .

NRO: If This Night Doesn’t Save Hillary’s Campaign, Nothing Will

. . . "Trump started better than he finished; he may be in better shape if the audience size declined over the course of the night. But on issue after issue, it was one missed opportunity after another." . . .

The Next Debate Cannot Come Soon Enough 

. . ."He needs to do better next time and he needs to mount some lethal ads that expose Hillary for who she is; a nasty piece of work who will intentionally take this country further down the road to Marxist socialism than Obama already has. Not only will she sell us out to the highest bidder, she will be sure to make money on the deal. Trump is the good guy; she is a future nightmare if elected. If she becomes President, the United States will be unrecognizable as the country founded in 1789 by a group of brilliant, selfless men who debated for thirteen years and wrote the finest document ever written."

Debate: Trump did well, despite a big obstacle  . . . "Overall, Trump did well, but every Republican candidate has to debate the Democratic candidate and the moderator." 

IRS: Obama’s Potent Weapon in War Against Dissent

Legal Insurrection

"I recently noted that President Obama’s climate change edict for our national security strategists shows that he does not take warfare against American opponents seriously.

"However, the President takes citizen opposition very seriously. For example, he is unleashing one of his most potent tools against Americans opting out of purchasing Obamacare.

"Over 20 million Americans opted to pay a penalty rather that purchase health insurance. So, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has just sent them a formal letter suggesting they make a different choice." . . .

Remember this when watching the debate; sear it into your memory.

“ 'Muslims have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.' ”

Americans Don’t Buy Snowden the Hero

Max Boot

"If President Obama were to pardon Snowden on his way out of office, as so many on the left want, he will be doing great harm to his legacy and, even more important, to the ability of the U.S. intelligence community to keep us safe." 

. . . "More information on the damage that Snowden did is readily available in open-source reporting, which makes clear that much of what Snowden revealed had nothing to do with protecting the privacy of American citizens. As Jack Goldsmith, former assistant attorney general, noted: “To take just a few of hundreds of examples, why did his oath to the Constitution justify disclosure that NSA had developed MonsterMind, a program to respond to cyber attacks automatically; or that it had set up data centers in China to insert malware into Chinese computers and had penetrated Huawei in China; or that it was spying (with details about how) in many other foreign nations, on Bin Laden associate Hassam Ghul’s wife, on the UN Secretary General, or on the Islamic State; or that it cooperates with intelligence services in Sweden and Norway to spy on Russia; and so on, and so on.' ” . . .

Walmart refuses to make cop’s retirement cake because of racism — but it gets worse

Joe Newby

"On Monday, Twitchy reported that Walmart employees in McDonough, Georgia, refused to make a cop’s retirement cake because of racism, citing a report by Fox News’ Todd Starnes.

"According to Starnes:

Three Walmart workers in McDonough, Ga., refused to decorate a “thin blue line” cake for a police officer’s retirement party because they said it was racist.

A number of my Georgia readers alerted me to the story and on Saturday night I spoke directly with the police officer’s daughter. She asked that I not divulge her name and I’ve agreed to do that.

“I was so shocked,” she told me. “I didn’t know what to do or say or anything. I was trying not to lose my temper or make a scene.”

"Starnes said that Walmart “confessed that most of her allegations are true.”

“ 'Our goal is to always take care of customers. But, sometimes we misstep. We’re glad we were able to connect with the family to apologize and make this right,” Walmart said." . . .

. . . "Not only that, Clinton and her aide violated security protocols by not taking the briefing book to store it in a secure facility when not in her physical possession.  According to the FBI" . . .

‘Clueless’ Clinton Spent Six Years on the Senate Armed Services Committee  . . . "Given this experience and her involvement in making and overseeing U.S. military policy, it defies all belief — as Clinton claimed to the FBI — that she knew nothing . . . nothing about classified documents, how they were marked, or even that she should clam up about human intelligence agents." . . .

Is It Possible Hillary Really Didn't Know What 'C' Meant?  "Dinesh D'Souza says that when you work for the government, you're trained on what the document designations mean. He says Hillary wouldn't not know what "C" meant. Is Hillary Clinton the most lawbreaking and corrupt person ever to run for president?" . . . Video

Thoughts on tonight's debate

Tony Branco

Byron York: Before debate, Clinton works refs, asks for special treatment   . . . "Well, I think Donald Trump's special," Mook said. "We haven't seen anything like this…So we're saying this is a special circumstance, a special debate, and Hillary should be given some time to actually talk about what she wants to do to make a difference in people's lives. She shouldn't have to spend the whole debate correcting the record."

"Other Clinton officials made a similar case in the days leading up to the debate. On Friday, Team Clinton held a conference call for reporters, urging Holt to factcheck Trump on the fly. "This is the role of the moderator…to call out those lies, and do it in real time," top campaign official Jennifer Palmieri said. "To not do that is to give Donald Trump a very unfair advantage.' " . . .

Rick Moran: Clinton wants debate moderator to 'fact-check' the candidates  . . . " 'Fact-checking" is a losing issue for Clinton.  If Holt weighs in, it will only help Trump."

The Battle for the Undecided Millennial Generation Begins at Hofstra  . . . "The wild card for this debate may involve the FBI 2000-page document dump on Friday afternoon." . . .

Debate Details Revealed: Clinton Gets First Question . . . "The 90-minute debate will be broken into six, 15 minute "pods," the Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Sunday." . . .


Nine things you need to know about tonight's debate  . . .  "The public decided on Hillary years ago, and while I struggle to understand her attraction, she has her ardent supporters. Divide the country in three and you have Always Hillary, Never Hillary, and those who say they wish they had someone else but will settle for her.

"That third group is Trump's to win." . .

Exclusive: DNC Accepts Donation In Memory Of Julius And Ethel Rosenberg

"Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were American citizens who spied for the Soviet Union and were tried, convicted, and executed for conspiracy to commit espionage. They were instrumental in the passing of information about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, speeding his development of Soviet nuclear weapons programs."

Daily Caller  "The Democratic National Committee last week cashed a check for $28.13 made in memory of convicted Soviet spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

"Speculation is not journalism but it’s hard to figure out which of these likely scenarios are more troubling: The DNC does not bother to do due diligence on donors. For all we know somebody from CAIR donated in honor of Bobby Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan.

"Or ISIS members could be donating so they could get invited to exclusive fundraisers. Maybe foreigners are illegally donating to gain influence with Hillary Clinton after the election since Clinton Foundation payola schemes are probably harder to pull off in light of all the negative publicity.

"The other possibility is that somebody did check and really didn’t care that the Rosenbergs were convicted of treason and executed in 1953."

"After all, Democratic Party acting chair Donna Brazile and Hillary campaign chair John Podesta have both refused to disavow the Democratic nominee’s endorsement by the Communist Party USA, which was a Soviet spy apparatus.

"Of course, if asked, Podesta, who initially purposed to not have heard of the Communist Party when asked about the endorsement, may very well feign ignorance of the Rosenbergs as well."

The racism of the anti-racists

"So unjust were those systems that a measure of over-reaction was inevitable. If a dose of political correctness is the price we pay for the end of Jim Crow and the overthrow of South Africa's race laws, I'd say it's worth paying."

Dan Hannan

"Here's a shocking story. A student, active in white racial politics, gets cross because he sees a black student filming him. He knocks the smartphone out of the black student's hand and then posts on Facebook: "I wish I'd actually not been a good law abiding citizen & whupped the black sass out of the bastard".

"The same student had earlier boasted of reducing a waitress to "black tears" after refusing to tip her. Yet, curiously, he has a following in the media and even in politics.. . . 

"Actually, I just played a little trick on you. I swapped the colors. The student in question is Ntokozo Qwabe, whom I wrote about in this column a while back as the chap who wanted to tear down a statue of Cecil Rhodes in Oxford." . . .

. . . "Oddly, the people most obsessed with making everything racial often call themselves anti-racists. This is because anti-racism has become the highest card in the leftist deck." . . .

A black sergeant brings Obama and Black Lives Matter to justice

Sgt. Pennie and Freedom Watch have filed a federal lawsuit that names and shames the black and white backers of anti-police violence from Black Lives Matter to Barack Obama, from George Soros to Al Sharpton, from Farrakhan to Hillary Clinton. The lawsuit targets major anti-police organizations, naming Black Lives Matter and six of its leaders, including Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and DeRay McKesson, Sharpton’s National Action Network, Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam and the New Black Panther Party.

Frontpage

“Obama has conspired to incite violence, looting, arson, assault against law enforcement.”

" 'Obama has conspired with all Defendants and others to incite violence, looting, arson, assault against law enforcement and helpless communities with the purpose of making a new 'fundamentally transformed America' appear preferable to the crime waves and chaos they themselves are creating.”

"These words come from a shocking lawsuit filed by an African-American police sergeant.

"Obama’s war on cops has cast a fearful shadow over police forces across the country, but no single force has suffered as much as the Dallas Police Department which buried five of its own. Now a lawsuit takes on not only the racists and bigots of Black Lives Matter but their backers all the way to the top.

"On a hot night in July, five police officers were murdered at a Black Lives Matter anti-police rally." . . . 

"But the whitewashing of Black Lives Matter began before the bodies of its latest victims were even cold.

"The media fussed over the impact on the hate group and a “backlash” against the “shell-shocked Black Lives Matter community in Dallas”. It wasn’t as concerned about the “shell-shocked” Dallas police officers who were targeted for death by this racist “community” of racists and left-wing radicals.

"At the memorial, Obama spent more time praising Black Lives Matter than its victims. The bodies were buried and the racist agitators got back to their business of inciting the murder of more police officers backed by $130 million in left-wing cash from big bucks leftists like Soros and the Ford Foundation.'

Kathleen Willey: Bill Clinton Alleged Sex Victims ‘Could Fill The Entire Audience’ At Presidential Debate

2016 : THE RACE

. . . "Stated Willey:

Most of us are well known and our stories have been repeated several times over the years, but what concerns me the most are the voices of my sisters who are still afraid to come out of the darkness. I have communicated with a number of them and they are still terrified of publicly sharing their experiences with the Clintons.

The real story here is not one of our presence in the front row at any of these debates, but the unhindered lust for power that the Clintons have displayed for decades. Hillary Clinton has lied, cheated and stolen our lives from us. People have died in her wake of deceit.

We could fill the entire audience. I would like to see the day when these women can step into the light and share their stories of brutality, terror and intimidation without the kind of fear of intimidation and recrimination that we have experienced for far too many years.

"Regarding whether she would attended the debate if asked, Willey decided, “I would refrain for now. Let her do herself in on her own.' ”
