The Republican White Togas at Work for the Queen of Sleaze

Ronnie Gordon

Clarice Feldman  "Years ago I wrote of my contempt for the white togaed squishes of the right who flee the grounds of the forum when jackals attack their allies in order to keep their garb free of stain. This week in the lead up to the second presidential debate tonight, they’re at it again.
"Just as evidence of the Clinton corruption is once again made manifest in the release of more of her emails and a closer look at the late revised Clinton foundation filings, they flee Trump because of a suspiciously timed tape of an eleven-year-old conversation with GHW Bush’s nephew, Billy Bush. If, like a toddler, you are easily distracted by shining objects. you’ll fall for it. If you’re a grownup who realizes the fate of the world and this country depend on your vote you won’t." . . .

Here is the overview of Ms. Feldman's column warning us of the price we would pay in rejecting the Republican ticket.

1. How Hillary Broke the Law and Destabilized North Africa, creating a Refugee Crisis and a catastrophe in Libya and Syria

Ignoring the advice of the secretary of defense and lawyers in her own department, Secretary Clinton allowed 18 shipments of arms from Qatar to Libyan jihadis who were on the State Department’s own list of foreign terrorists, . . .

 2. Hillary’s speeches to Big Donors Reveal clearly her Deceptive nature and her view of Trump and Sanders supporters

Hacked audio of a conversation between Hillary Clinton and donors during a February fundraising event shows the Democrat nominee describing Bernie Sanders supporters as "children of the Great Recession" who are "living in their parents’ basement."

The article strangely omits item #3 

4. Mud Slung and Squishes Run

In any event, GW Bush admitted he and his dad used the same sort of talk in private, and Vernon Jordan said when they were golfing he and Bill Clinton did, too.

5. Meantime, following Obama’s disengagement of America in the world and his destruction of U.S. military power, the world is getting more and more dangerous

Obama purges the officer corps, cuts our nuclear arsenal, and directs the military to focus on diversity appointments and transgender training. He strips veterans benefits and overlooks the shockingly bad care provided in VA hospitals while providing funds for transgender surgery for the troops, and generous benefits to illegal aliens and unvetted Syrian immigrants. In the meantime, Russia flexes its muscles in Syria, the Far East and Eastern Europe.

. . .  "I doubt that Americans are so addlepated as to pick an incompetent, thoroughly corrupt globalist over an often-vulgar man who loves his country and has accomplished a great deal. I think this leak came so early in the month because Clinton and her allies fear this is true."

Why me must never allow the Clinton's back into the White House...ever again

Bookworm Room: Donald Trump, vulgarian, versus Hillary Clinton, corrupt incompetent

. . . "If anybody needs to be reminded what I’m talking about, here’s a little rundown of things Hillary has said and done:

"While in Little Rock, allegedly turned $1,000 into $100,000 trading in cattle futures . . . in just ten months, having never traded before.

"While in Little Rock, was a lawyer for and investor in the corrupt Whitewater real estate dealings — and then destroyed and/or hid legal records to hide that work.

"While in the White House, in an effort to pass taxpayer money to friends, fired the entire non-partisan White House travel office, accused them of financial misdealings, and effectively destroyed the life of the head of the travel office.

"When leaving the White House, attempted to steal White House property, which she was then forced to return to the American people."

BROADDRICK: Hillary’s actions speak louder than Trump’s words (Video)

The American Mirror  "Bill Clinton rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick is weighing in on Donald Trump’s controversial comments from 2005 that are mysteriously resurfacing just hours before the second debate and weeks before the general election.

“ 'How many times must it be said,” she tweeted Saturday morning.

“ 'Actions speak louder than words. (Donald Trump) said bad things! (Hillary Clinton) threatened me after (Bill Clinton) raped me.”

"Broaddrick’s dose of perspective comes as the mainstream media has been silent and uninterested in the ongoing accusations against Bill Clinton and Hillary’s attempts to silence his accusers.

"But in the last 24 hours, they’ve reported ad nauseam about Trump’s 2005 locker room talk caught on a hot mic." . . .

Hillary and the Marines

How ironic if Hillary had become a Marine and had to hold an umbrella over President Obama during one of his Rose Garden addresses. Or bussed tables for a White House dinner. 

Maureen Dowd,1994: Hillary Clinton Says She Once Tried to Be Marine  . . . "She told the group gathered for lunch in the Dirksen Office Building, according to The Associated Press, that she became interested in the military in 1975, the year she married Bill Clinton and the year she was teaching at the University of Arkansas law school in Fayetteville.

"She was 27 then, she said, and the Marine recruiter was about 21. She was interested in joining either the active forces or the reserves, she recalled, but was swiftly rebuffed by the recruiter, who took a dim view of her age and her thick glasses. 'Not Very Encouraging'

" 'You're too old, you can't see and you're a woman," Mrs. Clinton said she was told, adding that the recruiter dismissed her by suggesting she try the Army. "Maybe the dogs would take you," she recalled the recruiter saying.

" 'It was not a very encouraging conversation," she said. "I decided maybe I'll look for another way to serve my country.' " . . .

Phony news? Goldman Sachs Transcripts: Hillary Calls Left “Bucket of Losers”

That “Bucket Of Losers” Clinton Speech Transcript Is Totally Fake
(This site brands it a fake and the source one of satire.)

"Hillary Clinton did not say that in a speech at Goldman Sachs. It’s from a fake news website."

"A fake transcript that purports to be from a paid speech Hillary Clinton gave to Goldman Sachs is circulating on Twitter and has been picked up by at least one conservative website.

"More than 2,000 emails belonging to Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podestawere released by WikiLeaks on Friday. In that cache of documents were details of paid speeches Clinton gave to Goldman Sachs and other financial firms. But they were not full transcripts.

"Within hours of those documents going online, though, a fake transcript began making the rounds. It includes a section where Clinton supposedly refers to “a collection of generally under-represented, low social capital individuals” as a “bucket of losers.' ”

Ben & Jerry’s Faces Boycott After Endorsing Black Lives Matter

Breitbart Hollywood

"Socially conscious ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s faces calls for a boycott after the company announced its support for the Black Lives Matter protest movement this week.

“ 'Systemic and institutionalized racism are the defining civil rights and social justice issues of our time,” the Vermont-based company said in a statement posted on benjerry.com. “We’ve come to understand that to be silent about the violence and threats to the lives and well-being of black people is to be complicit in that violence and those threats.”

"Sending a pointed message to its detractors, Ben and Jerry’s said: “All lives do matter. But all lives will not matter until black lives matter.”

"The company posted its support for Black Lives Matter on Facebook and Twitter." . . .

KELLYANNE CONWAY’S POLITICAL MACHINATIONS: Can the first woman to run a Republican Presidential campaign reform Donald Trump?

The New Yorker  . . . "When Conway took over, the campaign was foundering, owing to Trump’s repeated insults to the parents of Humayun Khan, a soldier killed in action in Iraq. Polls showed that Trump was losing to Hillary Clinton by up to ten points. By the time of the Chester speech, four days before the candidates’first debate, Conway and her
team had brought the race to a near-tie.Trump, reading from a teleprompter, sounded almost like a conventional politician as he spoke about “breaking up the special-interest monopoly”  brought the race to a near-tie.Trump, reading from a teleprompter, sounded almost like a conventional politician as he spoke about “breaking up the special-interest monopoly” and described America as “a nation of strivers, dreamers, and believers.” Conway was being lauded as the “Trump whisperer”—the only person who could persuade him to prepare for his crucial showdown with Clinton.

"For the first twenty minutes of the debate, held at Hofstra University, on Long Island, on September 26th, Conway seemed to have succeeded." . . .

Trump vs. Clinton: you knew these were coming, didn't you?

Pretty much of a "lesser of two evils" compilation.

"Hillary Clinton ripped Donald Trump over what she called his past disrespectful treatment of women. She’s one to talk. If Hillary wins, America will be in safe hands if she commits to going after the nation’s enemies with the same ferocity she displayed going after the women Bill slept with." Comedian Argus Hamilton

I’m Shocked, Shocked at Trump’s naughty words"  . . . "Big Dog Clinton actually groped, actually touched, actually had affairs and molestation buffets with women mostly unwilling and subsequently punished by Ms. Hillary Rodham for the effrontery of having been chosen for handwork not including embroidery, cigar-jobbing and dress malingering on a variety of handy damsels in his purview, the most unfortunate of whom were profusely worked over  by the missus. Tires slashed. Pets killed. Fired from jobs. Mocked in public and maligned as “trailer trash” and similar assorted negatives.  All carried out by the “bimbo eruption” teams set upon these hapless victims of WJC’s lustful heart." . . .Marion DS Dreyfus

Trump’s Dirty Talk versus Hillary’s Corruption  . . . "I have heard the CBS radio news a few times since the tape came out and they mention the tape prominently. Somehow, they have not mentioned the Wikileaks documents that came out within a few hours of the Trump Tape. It must be as accidental as all the selective editing that is done by the supposed fact tellers in the media. In the leaked documents Hillary essentially kisses up to Investment Bankers and others who are paying her $250,000 per speech. She also says absolutely that she is for open borders and open global trade. Hillary and Kaine are campaigning on the lie that she is for more secure borders and very strict trade agreements." . . .Jack Hellner

A Tale of Two Campaigns  . . . "Two different campaigns are rushing to the gutter. Will either decide that it is time to pick up the discussion and decorum? Whichever side decides to do this will win the election. With 30 days remaining time is running out. Maybe another Friday dump of material will decide the winner, but the stench of the gutter is proving to be more unbearable than the populace can take." Howard J. Warner

Media FREAKS Over Trump Sex Tape But Not Bill’s RAPES & Mrs. Bill’s Destruction Of Rape Victims  . . . "So we know Hillary has a ridiculous double standard. Transcripts say her husband owes favors to a billionaire pedophile (convicted). Where does that fit on your moral hierarchy?"

Liberal Vox: A Donald Trump presidency would bring shame on this country. And Hillary would bring us respect?

Donald Trump, Then and Now  “ 'I consider myself too perfect and have no faults.”  — Donald Trump, on Twitter in 2014. 

“I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not.” — Trump, . . . in his video apology.

Donald Trump Apologizes. . . . In the message, he deeply apologizes for his comments before lashing out at Bill Clinton’s sexual abuse of women and Hillary’s bullying of the victims.

“ 'There’s a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women.”  

"In the first Presidential debate, Trump demurred from dragging Hillary’s husband into the discussion because his daughter was in the audience. If this video is any indication, the gloves are off." . . .The transcript of The Apology

Is Trump’s Campaign Over?  "Politico: “It’s fitting that the election of Hillary Clinton as the first female president might have been sealed by Donald Trump’s treatment of women as subordinate, interchangeable, pliable playthings.”

“Trump — a compulsively public politician who has mouthed some of the most hilarious (intentionally or otherwise), offensive, fact-allergic and misogynistic statements by anyone competing in the public arena — might be ultimately undone by a private admission about a woman he wanted to have sex with.”

"However, a Politico poll of GOP insiders finds that 54% think Trump can overcome these comments while 46% say his chances are doomed."

Sen. Mike Lee wants Trump to quit “ 'one of very few Republican senators who never endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, called tonight for the nominee to ‘step aside’ and asked conservatives to find a new candidate,” the Washington Post reports."

The Coming Trump vs. Clinton Sex Scandal Showdown  "The odds that Donald Trump will bring up Bill Clinton's sexual peccadilloes in Sunday night's presidential debate just increased." . . .

THE HIJACKING OF HISTORY BY OPERA: THE DEATH OF KLINGHOFFER

"In the Klinghoffer opera we sympathize with the villains—who are, after all, terrorists.  This is something new."

Phyllis Chesler  "I love opera. I was once a regular contributor to NPR's "At the Opera," and that privilege lasted for almost three years. I attend the Metropolitan opera as often as I can—I also attend the Chelsea Opera, the NY City Opera (when it existed), and the Glimmerglass Opera Festival in Cooperstown almost every summer.

"The Metropolitan Opera's General Manager, Peter Gelb, has a constitutional as well as an artistic right to produce whatever he wants. However, his choice of The Death of Klinghoffer is an abdication of moral responsibility, political sensitivity, and gravitas. Gelb's showcasing of this opera is equivalent to a college president's decision to allow ISIS, Hamas, al-Qaeda, or the Taliban to speak on campus because "all sides must be heard and understood" because "all points of view are equally valid."

Charles Krauthammer: The stillborn legacy of Barack Obama

This time around, Obama says, "My legacy's on the ballot." If the 2016 campaign hadn't turned into a referendum on character — a battle fully personalized and ad hominem — the collapse of the Obama legacy would indeed be right now on the ballot. And his party would be 20 points behind.

The Salt Lake Tribune  "Only amid the most bizarre, most tawdry, most addictive election campaign in memory could the real story of 2016 be so effectively obliterated, namely, that with just four months left in the Obama presidency, its two central pillars are collapsing before our eyes: domestically, its radical reform of American health care, aka Obamacare; and abroad, its radical reorientation of American foreign policy — disengagement marked by diplomacy and multilateralism.

"Obamacare.

"On Monday, Bill Clinton called it "the craziest thing in the world." And he was only talking about one crazy aspect of it — the impact on the consumer. Clinton pointed out that small business and hardworking employees ("out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week") are "getting whacked ... their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half.' " . . .

"The Obama Doctrine.

"The president's vision was to move away from a world where stability and "the success of liberty" (JFK, inaugural address) were anchored by American power and move toward a world ruled by universal norms, mutual obligation, international law and multilateral institutions. No more cowboy adventures, no more unilateralism, no more Guantanamo. We would ascend to the higher moral plane of diplomacy. Clean hands, clear conscience, "smart power."

"This blessed vision has just died a terrible death in Aleppo." . . .

Wikileaks email reveals Clinton campaign coordinating with Soros group

Leaked emails appear to show Clinton campaign illegally coordinating with Soros  . . . "The group is the Open Society Foundations (OSF) which is directly financed and directed by Soros, and they are working on various Social Justice Warrior issues such as “reforming” the nation’s police in support of Black Lives Matter. In the leaked exchange between Podesta and Chris Stone, the president of OSF, we see what looks to be obvious message coordination." . . .

Joe Newby

"We’ve been saying for a while that if Democrat Hillary Clinton, perhaps the most evil person ever nominated to the White House by a major party, wins the November election, George Soros would be running things.  Now we learn from an email released by Wikileaks that the Clinton campaign has been coordinating with Soros’ Open Society Foundation on the subject of police reform." . . .

. . . "Now we see the Clinton campaign working with Soros to make the idea of federally-controlled police a reality if she wins. Related:

Late Friday: Time to call an emergency Republican convention?

UK Daily Mail; A great deal on Donald Trump here I didn't cut and paste the tabloidish content, but it is all out there everywhere.A clueless nation that can adore Barack Obama and Hillary is certainly capable of exalting the likes of Donald Trump. TD

Here, here, here, here, and, wait for it: "Drop out Trump!"

What a group of highly qualified people running for the Republican ticket against the corrupt Clinton machine and we're stuck with the choice we have.  TD

Donors Are Pulling Out And Demanding A New GOP Candidate Immediately  . . . "What comes next is an absolute mystery. This is uncharted water. As Sunday's debate grows closer, the Trump camp is in serious trouble and has nowhere to go but down. It also gets worse when you realize it's still early October and the Clinton camp almost assuredly has more material out there, waiting to drop." . . .

BREAKING: Donald Trump Issues Midnight Apology Video For His *Whatever* Grabbing Remarks  . . . "This is pretty remarkable, given that Trump never apologizes for anything. Anything! That said, "those words" reflect who Donald Trump is, perfectly. Nobody who has paid attention to Trump could be the slightest bit surprised by what emerged today." . . .

Ben Stein: Trump Must Go  . . . "But I am a Republican and we are supposed to stand for some kind of moral standard. We are the party of Dwight Eisenhower, who never had the slightest moral stain on his character. We’re the party of Reagan, whose charisma was based on his basic dignity. We’re the party of George W. Bush, who made terrible mistakes, but whose fundamental morality was never in doubt. He is a handsome man and was much sought after by women, but never even returned the gaze of flirting women. He was no prude, but he was dignified.

"Now comes Donald Trump. He talked on a hot mike about the most lewd acts imaginable on women he had just met or maybe did not even know. He talked on a hot mike about grabbing women by their genitals and getting away with it because he was rich and famous.

"He now says that Bill Clinton has said much the same and worse. So what? I wouldn’t want Bill Clinton to be leading the Republican Party either. I want someone clean, after eight years of Barack Obama mess and lies and deceit. I don’t want someone who talks like a dirty-minded eighth grader leading the greatest party on earth." . . .
