Former Secretary of State, George P. Shultz: The Danger Of Empty Threats

Hoover Institution  "Sometimes small events have a major impact on your thinking. I remember boot camp and the day my Marine Corps drill sergeant handed me my rifle. “This is your best friend,” he said. “Take good care of it and remember: never point this rifle at anybody unless you’re willing to pull the trigger.' ”. . . 

. . . "Then, when Iran was interfering with Kuwaiti shipping in the Persian Gulf in 1987–88, we reflagged the tankers as American vessels and put them under the protection of the US Navy. While Iran’s president, Ali Khamenei, was making a speech to the United Nations saying the last thing Iran would do was to put mines in the Persian Gulf, we had Navy eyewitnesses taking pictures of Iranian forces doing just that. In one notable operation in September 1987, our sailors boarded an Iranian vessel, seized mines as evidence, removed the crew, and sank the ship. There was no loss of life, but we sent a clear message. We exposed the Iranians’ lie, let them know that we knew what they were doing, and showed them the consequences."

"We Just Got A Tip" - Email Leak Reveals More Collusion Between State Department And Hillary Campaign

Zero Hedge  "A new Podesta email released by WikiLeaks today reveals direct coordination between the State Department and the Clinton campaign during what should have been a confidential investigation.  The following email chain starts with a note from Clinton Deputy Communications Director, Kristina Schake, on April 9th, informing Mook, Palmieri, Mills, Podesta and Samuelson that "Someone here just got a tip that the State Department may be planning to release her Benghazi emails tomorrow or Monday."

"The emails further reveal a continued coordination between the State Department and the Clinton campaign with Heather Samuelson providing frequent status updates over the course of the following week.

"As legal experts pointed out previously, ultimately another month passed before the State Department finally released the first Clinton emails on May 22, 2015.  It is unclear what accounted for the delay.  It is also extremely unclear why Samuelson would have received frequent updates from the State Department on the status of ongoing FOIA requests as she was no longer employed by the State Department in 2015." . . .

Many thumbs on scales for Hillary

Hillary and her media allies throw rape victims under the bus . . . "And the media branch of the Democratic Party has gotten the message. It’s the return of slut-shaming for Clinton accusers, courtesy of the ladies of The View.  It turns out that a lot of those accusers are “tramps.' ”
"Hillary was the victim"? Disgusting conversation; shame on these people.

Rick Moran: Clinton email leaks show campaign's close cooperation, collusion with media  . . . "The Times should be charging the Clinton campaign ad space for all the fawning attention and support they give them while Harwood should be paid for his advice. They're not even pretending to be objective anymore and the FEC should investigate the Times and other outlets for making in kind donations to the Clinton presidential campaign."



EXCLUSIVE: New Email Leak Reveals Clinton Campaign’s Cozy Press Relationship  . . . "As The Intercept previously reported, pundits regularly featured on cable news programs were paid by the Clinton campaign without any disclosure when they appeared; several of them are included on this “surrogates” list, including Stephanie Cutter and Maria Cardona:" . . .

Also listed is Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden, who has appeared on Chris Wallace's Fox News Sunday panel.

. . . "As he put it, a key strategy was to “give reporters who must cover daily HRC news something to cover other than the unhelpful stories about the foundation, emails, etc.” . . .

Redneck and deplorable

Bill Clinton: Trump’s supporters ‘your basic redneck’  "The Clintons really do hate average Americans.  While speaking to a crowd of Hillary Clinton supporters at Palm Beach State College, former President Bill Clinton slammed Trump supporters as “rednecks,” the Daily Caller reported Tuesday.

“ 'Look, man the other guy’s base is what I grew up in,” he said.  “You know, I’m basically your standard redneck.”

"The audience responded with laughter." . . .

. . . ""In short, as some might say, the former president was “putting on airs,” placing himself above those who support Trump and suggesting that anyone who intends to vote for the GOP nominee is a stupid, hayseed hick.

"This also comes after Hillary referred to Trump supporters as “deplorables,” “irredeemable” and “un-American.”  She also referred to Bernie supporters as basement-dwellers and losers." . . .

Woman Kicked Out Of Store By Cashier Sick Of ‘Certain’ People Like Her. And her disgusting shirt.

Mad World News

"In Spring, Texas, a woman ran into her local Kroger grocery store to grab a few things and get on with her list of other errands to run. However, things didn’t go as simple as she hoped when she was told to leave because she disgusted a particular employee who took one look at the shopper and said she was sick of people like her.

"Meredith, who didn’t feel comfortable releasing her last name, had checked everything off of her shopping list and headed to the register. As she put her items on the conveyor belt, she was informed that she shouldn’t even bother since the cashier wasn’t going to ring her up. The employee said that Meredith needed to get out of the store because the shopper’s shirt was a slap in the face, and the clerk “was doing everything she could not to cry.' ” . . .

Megyn Kelly calls Juanita Broaddrick a Liar

Daniel John Sobieski  "In the post-debate analysis of Trump/s spot-on rebuttal of Team Clinton’s exploitation of the 2005 Trump “locker room” remarks, Megyn Kelly sparred with Trump manager Kelly Anne Conway over Trump’s trotting out of some of Bill’s “bimbo eruptions” in a pre-debate press conference. In what will undoubtedly be Team Clinton’s defense, Megyn Kelly claimed that Clinton rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick denied any rape in a 1998 affidavit.

"Close, but no cigar, Megyn. The story is a little more complicated than that. It was not that her story was false as Megyn Kelly implied. Like many rape victims, Broaddrick felt no one would believe her and she simply wanted to put it behind her and not be forced to relive it, particularly in any legal setting: she resisted interviews, fearing no one would believe her charge against a popular President. As Breitbart reported in 2014:

. . . 

"Broaddrick feared the retaliation of Team Clinton as well as the glare of a disbelieving media. Thus she signed an affidavit denying the rape, again trying to avoid being forced to relive the horrible experience. But she told Starr and his office the affidavit was false. Starr didn’t pursue the rape story not because it was false, but because it was not part of his obstruction of justice investigation.

"At the Trump press conference, Broaddrick, tired of being accused of being part of a vast right-wing conspiracy, and afraid that her attacker would once again occupy the White House with the woman who orchestrated the attacks on Bill Clinton’s “bimbo eruptions”, repeated her accusation:

“Actions speak louder than words,” Broaddrick said. “Mr. Trump may have said some bad words but Bill Clinton raped me and Hillary Clinton threatened me. I don’t think there’s any comparison.”

. . . "Willey added, “She is complicit in everything that he has done.”

“ 'She had helped him do it,” asserted Jones.

“ 'She has turned a blind eye for decades against what he has done” stated Broaddrick. “And she has been the main one to help cover this up. And go after us.' ”

The Foreign Mess Awaiting the Next President

Reza Parchizadeh  "The 58th United States presidential election will arrive in 4 weeks, and emotions have never been more intense around the election of a U.S. president, at least not in the past couple of decades. Democrat and Republican rant and rave alike, daring Donald and humiliating Hillary. That is not necessarily bad. It is a manifest sign of freedom of expression, which is a building block of democracy. But if things are to remain that way and of course to improve, one must look beyond the minimal binary division of Democrat/Republican to the future of the American nation as a beacon of democracy. Whoever inherits Obama’s mantle will have to face three rising security threats if democracy is to maintain in the United States in the long run."
. . . 

. . . "Rather, American security and democracy at home will be upheld through the development of democracy – with all its attachments – in the farther-flung corners of the globe. But that calls for the next president of the United States as the supreme representative of the American nation to have the necessary brains and stomach to face the terrors of the earth." . . .

Leaked email reveals Saudi and Qatar support for Islamic State

Victor Davis Hanson: The Tenth Life of Donald Trump

"By seizing control of Sunday night’s debate, he steadied his faltering candidacy — a bit."

National Review  "The Sunday debate recalibrated the moribund Trump candidacy. It will not end this week. The stampede and groupthink calls for his resignation will ease. Trump might have lost the debate on points of detail, but by the end of hour one, he had won it on energy level and audacity. 

"No one has ever spoken so bluntly to Hillary Clinton in her 30 years in politics. The confrontation was long overdue. In an either/or race, Trump at least reminded the audience that he is running as a refutation of the status quo. Hillary still bores with the idea that Obama’s record is fine and her continuance of it will make things even better.

" Trump, as the teenage delinquent, was at times, as expected, repetitive and brash. Hillary, as playground monitor, was characteristically off-putting, sanctimonious and disingenuous. At one point she foolishly explained her advocacy of being duplicitous by comparing herself to a supposed two-faced Abe Lincoln. Pulling Old Abe down to pull yourself up is not a good idea." . . .

Clinton Campaign, White House Coordinated Pro-Iran Deal Talking Points

Washington Free Beacon

Leaked emails show effort to mislead public about Iran deal

 

Clinton’s vice presidential running mate Time Kaine claimed in a recent debate that Clinton helped “eliminate the Iranian nuclear weapons program,” a remark that ABC News dubbed as “false.”
Clinton Press Secretary Brian Fallon, who is included in the leaked emails, later went on Fox News to reiterate this claim, maintaining that “there is no question” the deal halted Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

"Senior Clinton campaign officials were in direct contact with the White House to coordinate pro-Iran talking points in an effort to boost last summer’s comprehensive nuclear agreement, according to leaked emails that show the Obama administration and top figures in Clinton’s campaign played a role in promulgating information about the deal that later turned out to be factually inaccurate.

"The emails, released late on Friday in a massive document dump by the hacker website WikiLeaks, show coordination between Hillary Clinton’s team and the White House, which spearheaded a massive effort to create what senior officials described as a pro-Iran “echo chamber” to mislead Congress and Americans about the nature of the agreement.

"The director of national intelligence and Department of Homeland Security have accused “Russia’s senior-most officials” of hacking and leaking emails posted to WikiLeaks and other sites to influence and interfere with the 2016 election.

"An April 2, 2015, communication sent from top White House press liaison Eric Shultz to Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri includes several pages of pro-Iran talking points that were later discovered to contain misleading information." . . .

"The Clintons have been damaging young women (and about everybody else) for decades."

Kevin Jackson/ The Blacksphere

. . . "So when I ran across an article written by friends of mine, the damage to one young lady really hit hard. It’s one thing to be the butt of a joke. However when you’re the penis of a joke, it’s really no joking matter.  As 100 Percent Fed Up wrote:

“In 1998, I lost my reputation and my dignity. I lost everything and I almost lost my life…” -Monica Lewinsky, 2015

Here is Monica Lewinsky, now a 41 year old woman who is actually being paid to address audiences about how her affair with then President Bill Clinton destroyed her life. What price did Bill Clinton pay for destroying this young girl’s life? What price did Hillary pay for enabling his behavior (that bordered on pedophilia given the age difference between Bill and Monica)? This young girl was “slut shamed” by the entire world while Bill and Hillary, unconcerned with her well-being, huddled together to work out the details of how they would deceive the world with lies and save their political careers and ambitions. Hillary even went so far as to call Monica a “narcissistic looney tune.”

"And the feminist agenda apparently centered around Hillary Clinton.

. . . "So when the Monica Lewinsky incident erupted, the feminists rallied around their disingenuous duo. Who cares Clinton had been using and abusing women for decades? And finally what if Hillary Clinton knew of each and every “bimbo,” and acted as an enabler? The Clinton were needed to further the feminists’ version of the greater good.

"Imagine being any of these women the Clintons maligned after sexually abusing them. The mental rape to go along with the physical devastation."
