Leaked memo shows Hillary camp scripted entire appearance with Steve Harvey

Conservative Firing Line

. . . "The campaign memo reveals that Clinton’s staff worked with Harvey to craft the structure of the interview, and briefed the Democratic presidential nominee ahead of time on the precise wording of Harvey’s questions.

The questions touched on Clinton’s granddaughter, her preference for deep dish or thin crust pizza, her campaign’s “great start,” efforts to bridge America’s racial divide, and her support for gun control policies.

"Even questions from the audience were scripted:"

Question from audience member Robin Rick (Robin is a Supervisor at Manhattan Beach Unified Schools Kitchen):

“Hi Steve. I’m a grandmother of 12 kids so by now I’m running out of fun things to do with them. I’m looking for new ways to entertain them so I was wondering, since Marjorie (Steve’s wife) is a grandmother like me what are some of her favorite things to do with your grandkids?)”

After the question is asked, he will surprise the audience by introducing his “expert,” YOU. YOU will enter the stage and assist Steve in answering the question. At this point he will show the picture of YOU and President Clinton holding Charlotte for the first time (pasted below).

"Even her answers were scripted:"

What do YOU think of Robin’s question?

• I’m lucky, I only have one grandchild at the moment and another one coming this summer! So I’m just experiencing the newness of it all. We spend countless hours just watching Charlotte in awe. When she learned to clap her hands, we gave her a standing ovation…

• I love to sing the song ‘Wheels on the Bus,’ and that keeps Charlotte entertained.

Fox and the GOP need radical makeovers

Jennifer Rubin

. . . "The unhinged non-news Hannity, who is widely seen as an adjunct to Donald Trump’s campaign — even going so far as appearing in a campaign ad for the GOP presidential nominee — now has attacked an actual news host, Megyn Kelly. He accuses her of being in Hillary Clinton’s camp. This is as obnoxious as it is false. The question, however, is now teed up for the Fox News execs: Is it a real news network that cares about the integrity of its news personnel or a caricature of right-wing media — in the thrall of know-nothingism, conspiracy-mongering and plain dishonesty?

"Hannity’s behavior is so inappropriate that one has to wonder whether he is trying to get booted — or justify an upcoming post-election change. 

"Nevertheless, the responsibility is Fox’s. If it cares about the reputations of quality news figures (e.g. Bret Baier, Chris Wallace, James Rosen) it will dump Hannity or relegate him to 21st Century Fox’s entertainment division. Fox cannot be both a serious outlet and tolerate Hannity’s attack on the integrity of its news people. The latter should be letting their bosses know in no uncertain terms: It is time to choose between the Fox News brand and the Hannity brand. The two are incompatible."

Do the 55% of Americans liking Obama know how little we are respected internationally?

How did all this silliness work out?

Russia posts provocative tweet warning US on Syria, mocking Earnest  "The Russian government is ratcheting up warnings – on Twitter – to the U.S. government not to interfere with its military operations in Syria, even suggesting American aircraft could be targeted by its “air defense systems.”

"In a provocative tweet Wednesday, the Russian embassy in Washington posted a side-by side photo of White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest and the Russian S-300 missile system.

"With the military apparatus pointed toward the image of Earnest, a caption says Russia wants the system because they “never really know what kind of assistance terrorists might get.” The tweet says Russia will take “every defensive measure necessary” to protect their personnel in Syria." . . .

Clinton Camp: Hillary Agrees that Iran Deal Eliminated Nuclear Program . . . "During the vice-presidential debate, Kaine said repeatedly that Iran's nuclear program "has been stopped" and that Clinton had "worked a tough negotiation with nations … to eliminate the Iranian nuclear weapons program."

"Fact checkers rated Kaine's claim false almost immediately, writing that the nuclear deal only purports to curb, not eliminate, Iran's nuclear weapons program, and that the country still has a nuclear infrastructure.

"But the Clinton campaign reaffirmed Kaine's statements after the debate, with campaign spokesman Brian Fallon telling Fox News's Megyn Kelly that Hillary Clinton also believed that Iran's nuclear program has been eliminated." . . .

When facts, logic and history don’t matter

What more lies ahead in this election campaign?

 Charles Krauthammer

. . . "How primitive have our politics become? Fix what? Family structure? Social inheritance? Self-destructive habits? How? He doesn’t say. He’ll will it. Trust him, as he likes to say.

After 15 months, the suspension of disbelief has become so ubiquitous that we hardly notice anymore. We are operating in an alternate universe where the geometry is non-Euclidean, facts don’t matter, history and logic have disappeared.

"Going into the first debate, Trump was in a virtual tie for the lead. The bar for him was set almost comically low. He had merely to (1) suffer no major meltdown and (2) produce just a few moments of coherence.

"He cleared the bar. In the first half-hour, he established the entire premise of his campaign. Things are bad and she’s been around for 30 years. You like bad? Stick with her. You want change? I’m your man.

"It can’t get more elemental than that. At one point, Clinton laughed and ridiculed Trump for trying to blame her for everything that’s ever happened. In fact, that’s exactly what he did. With some success." . . .

Sheriff Clarke Disinvited From U. New Haven for Criticizing Black Lives Matter

Legal Insurrection
“Unfortunately, circumstances did not permit Sheriff Clarke’s attendance at this year’s symposium.”

"Sheriff David Clarke is an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump and critic of the Black Lives Matter movement. This summer, the University of New Haven in Connecticut invited him to speak this fall, but the invitation was recently rescinded.

"Clarke wrote about the situation at Patheos:

The University of New Haven Disinvited Me to Speak on FORENSICS, because of #BlackLivesMatter

The cult-like demands of #BlackLivesMatter have extended all the way into the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences. This program, established by Dr. Henry C. Lee of University of New Haven, is one of the foremost academic forensic programs in the world. (He’s worked on the JonBenét Ramsey case, the O.J. Simpson and Laci Peterson cases, the post-9/11 investigations, and has reinvestigated the assassination of John F. Kennedy.) I was honored to have been invited to speak this month at their 25 th Annual Markle Symposium October 24 and 25 2016.

"Old and busted:"

The Clintons were always about earning money off the American people.

Even super-leftist Helen Thomas thought Clintons were reprehensible for renting out the Lincoln Bedroom to their donors

"The Clintons rented out the Lincoln Bedroom 831 times."

Putin's Ultimatum to the Next U.S. President

Bloomberg

"The next U.S. administration will inherit the worst relationship with Russia since Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union an evil empire. Judging from the list of grievances that President Vladimir Putin has laid out, even a relatively Putin-friendly Donald Trump will have a hard time satisfying him.

" Putin delivered his message to the future U.S. president Monday, just as the U.S. State Department announced it was suspending negotiations with Russia on a ceasefire in Syria and Russia-backed Syrian troops moved to take more ground in Aleppo. In a bill submitted to parliament, Putin threatened to end a joint U.S.-Russian disarmament program -- in which surplus weapons-grade plutonium is processed into fuel -- unless the U.S. meets certain conditions: " . . .

Given all the above, this should make you realize how clueless American voters are.

The Kaine-Pence aftermath

http://terrellaftermath.com/

Sad Attempt! CNN’s Cuomo Tries To Bait Pence Into Attacking Trump  "Pence fired back against Cuomo’s questioning with this solid statement:

People are focused on national security, on public safety, on law and order and on getting this economy moving again…the truth is Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine are running to essentially continue the failed policies of this administration which has weakened America’s place in the world

The marking of Kaine  . . . "Let's get this straight – it was a lie then that Obama, unassisted or not by some "security team," killed Osama bin Laden, and it's a lie now.  SEAL Team Six killed Osama bin Laden.  Neither Obama nor Clinton or any Democrat politician rode a helicopter into Pakistan that night.  Nor can any even imagine either someone like Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton riding a helicopter into Pakistan that night." . . .

American soldiers won the Iraq War — politicians lost the fragile peace.  [Kaine] "said it was a “very, very good thing” that instead of 175,000 deployed, we now have only 15,000. 
"Well, yes, if America’s enemies were defeated or contained. Instead, American retreat created power vacuums that our enemies filled." . . .

Tim Kaine’s Claim that Clinton Destroyed Iran’s Nuclear Program Is Preposterous  . . . "To steal a line: There are lies, damned lies, and what Tim Kaine said last night." . . .

So Hillary Clinton hasn’t “eliminated” a darn thing. At best, she’s delayed it. Far more likely, though, given Obama’s numerous dereliction's of duty and Iran’s knowledge that it has the whip-hand in this arrangement, is that she has helped to reinvigorate a regime that was growing weak — as the 2009 Green Movement in Iran suggested. 

Pence Does What Trump Couldn’t, with Solid Debate  . . . "Where Trump veered onto tangents, missing easy opportunities to attack Clinton, Pence did the opposite, turning most questions into opportunities to hit the Democratic ticket." . . . 

How Pence Beat Kaine -- And Revived Trump's Campaign

" . . .And he showed that, whatever else you might say about Trump, he did a good job making his most important hire. 

"Meanwhile, Kaine did a lot, we believe, to damage his carefully constructed image as a moderate Democrat — something that, sadly, today seems a contradiction in terms.

"His defense of Hillary Clinton's awful foreign policy record as secretary of state was totally ineffective." . . .

FREE SPEECH CRACKDOWN: Europe tells British press NOT to reveal if terrorists are Muslims

Infidel Bloggers Alliance

. . . “ In this context, it draws attention to a recent study by Teeside University suggesting that where the media stress the Muslim background of perpetrators of terrorist acts, and devote significant coverage to it, the violent backlash against Muslims is likely to be greater than in cases where the perpetrators’ motivation is downplayed or rejected in favour of alternative explanations.' ” . . .

. . . " 'It recommends more rigorous training for journalists to ensure better compliance with ethical standards.” But as Britain prepares to leave the crumbling bloc, the Government waded in to defend freedom of expression. 

""In a written statement to the ECRI, the Government said: “The Government is committed to a free and open press and does not interfere with what the press does and does not publish, as long as the press abides by the law.' ”

Rick Moran: European commission tells British press not to use 'Muslim' to identify terrorists . . . "The problem with ECRI is its interpretation of "hate speech."  ECRI administrators appear to be saying that any speech that offends anyone is hate speech. 

"But what's really chilling is that they want the government to step in and order journalists and publications to toe the line.  To do that, government would have to oversee the editing process to ensure that no "hate speech" is accidentally posted.  Imagine letting some of those ECRI creeps determine what the British people read.

"Needless to say, the ECRI report should make U.K. citizens grateful they voted to leave the EU.  Let the rest of Europe deal with these pompous asses who are as big a threat to freedom as Hitler or Stalin ever was."

Hillary Caught Using Child Actor At Pennsylvania Town Hall

Zero Hedge  "At a Hillary Clinton town hall yesterday in Haverford, Pennsylvania, a 15 year old girl was supposedly"chosen at random" to ask a question of the former Secretary of State.  But, the well-scripted performance raised some suspicion with a YouTuber named Spanglevision who decided to dig a little deeper.  And, wouldn't you know it, the "random" participant was none other than child actor,Brennan Leach, whose father just happens to be Pennsylvania democratic State Senator Daylin Leach.  Oh, and in case it wasn't obvious, Daylin supports Hillary for president...shocking.

"So, here was the original question from Brennan:

Brennan:

"Hi Madam Secretary.  I'm Brennan and I'm 15 years old.  At my school, body image is a really big issue for girls my age.  I see with my own eyes the damage Donald Trump does when he talks about women and how they look.  As the first female president how would you undo some of that damage and help girls understand that they're so much more than just what they look like?"

"And here was Hillary's attempt at knocking the soft ball out of the park...it's almost like she knew the question was coming.

Hillary:

"I'm so proud of you for asking that question. You are right -- my opponent has just taken this concern to a new level of difficulty and meanness.  And, it's shocking when women are called names and judged solely on the basis of physical attributes.

"My opponent insulted Miss Universe. I mean, how do you get more acclaimed than that?  But, it wasn't good enough. So we can't take any of this seriously any more. We need to laugh at it. We need to refute it. We need to ignore it. And we need to stand up to it."

"Here is the full analysis from Spanglevision.  Among other things, he points out that Brennan is the only participant of the night who reads her question from a prepared script."

Are Americans Tuning Out the NFL Over Protests?

Dr. Rich Swier

Rasmussen Reports  "A sizable number of Americans say they may give the National Football League a pass this year, thanks to the player protests over racial issues. 

"A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that nearly one-third (32%) of American Adults say they are less likely to watch an NFL game because of the growing number of Black Lives Matter protests by players on the field. Only 13% say they are more likely to watch a game because of the protests. Just over half (52%) say the protests have no impact on their viewing decisions. (To see survey question wording, click here.) 

"But as with most questions involving race, blacks and whites have sharply different reactions. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of blacks say they are more likely to tune into an NFL game because of the protests, compared to eight percent (8%) of whites and 16% of other minority Americans. Whites are twice as likely as blacks – 36% to 18% - to say they are less likely to watch this year, and 29% of other minorities agree." . . . 

ABC’s Designated Survivor Portrays Police as Violent Islamophobic Killers

Debbie Schlussel

"Tonight’s episode of ABC’s “Designated Survivor” portrays police as violent attackers and killers of Muslims after a terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol. This false portrayal is despite the fact that neither police nor other Americans have attacked Muslims during 15 years of massive Muslim terrorist attacks and mass murders of Americans.

"Last week, I watched the premiere of the highly-hyped new show, starring Kiefer Sutherland as a lowly cabinet secretary who becomes President when the President, the rest of his cabinet, and the entire Congress are killed in a terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol during the State of the Union address. While the show got off to a great start, it became clear that Sutherland, as President Kirkman, is a weak, standard-issue liberal. And the generals are second-guessed as “war-mongers” who want to attack Iran in the Straits of Hormuz. Last week, I predicted on Twitter that there is NO WAY that the terrorists who attacked the Capitol will turn out to be Muslims, as Hollywood continues its endless pretzel-like contortions away from reality. (After all, Muslims would NEVER EVER attack America or the U.S. Capitol, right? See 9/11 and Flight 93 for fact-checking.)"
