US President Barack Obama’s eulogy to Shimon Peres last Friday at Mt. Herzl was a thinly disguised assault on Israel. And he barely bothered to hide it.

I dread every time Obama speaks because, like a fault-finding parent, he is an unrepentant scold. This petulant man must lie awake nights thinking about the many ways we ordinary humans disappoint him. TD

"This libelous assault on Israel was probably the most unhinged remark ever directed at the Jewish state by an American president. What does the fact that Obama said this at Peres’s funeral tell us about Obama?"

Caroline Glick

. . .  "US President Barack Obama’s eulogy to Shimon Peres last Friday at Mt. Herzl was a thinly disguised assault on Israel. And he barely bothered to hide it.

  

"Throughout his remarks, Obama wielded Peres’s record like a baseball bat. He used it to club the Israeli public and its elected leaders over and over again.

  

"Peres, Obama intimated, was a prophet. But the suspicious, tribal people of Israel were too stiff necked to follow him.

  

"In what was perhaps the low point of a low performance, Obama used Peres’s words to slander his domestic critics as racist oppressors.

  

“ 'Shimon,” he began harmlessly enough, “believed that Israel’s exceptionalism was rooted not only in fidelity to the Jewish people, but to the moral and ethical vision, the precepts of his Jewish faith.”

  

"Fair enough. You could say that about every Israeli leader since the dawn of modern Zionism.

  

"But then Obama went for the jugular.

  

"In a startling non-sequitur he continued, “‘The Jewish people weren’t born to rule another people,’ he [Peres] would say, ‘From the very first day we were against slaves and masters.'”

  

"We don’t know the context in which Peres made that statement. But what is clear enough is that Obama used his words to accuse the majority of Israelis who do not share Peres’s vision for peace – including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu who was sitting in the front row listening to him – of supporting slavery." . . .

 "A few hours after the funeral ended, the White House published a correction to the original text it had released of Obama’s eulogy. The correction related to the dateline. The original version had the dateline as “Jerusalem, Israel.” 
"The revised, corrected version had a line going through the word Israel. As far as the Obama White House is concerned, Jerusalem – along with Mt. Herzl, the Knesset, and all the rest – is not in Israel.
 
"It was a petty, puerile thing to do. And it revealed a breathtaking animosity for Israel."

Hidden Camera: NYC Democratic Election Commissioner “I Think There Is A lot of Voter Fraud”

Project Veritas  Hat tip to Bookworm Room

"In a video released by Project Veritas, James O’Keefe exposes what everyone except the Democrats have known to be true; there is a lot of voter fraud." . . .

“ 'Yeah, they should ask for your ID. I think there is a lot of voter fraud,” said Schulkin, who elaborated on the types of voter fraud that are taking place in New York.

"Voter fraud has been labeled as a right-wing myth by the left, but Schulkin, a Democrat, confirmed everyone’s worst fears, going against the grain of his own party.

“ 'You know, I don’t think it’s too much to ask somebody to show some kind of an ID…Like I say, people don’t realize, certain neighborhoods in particular they bus people around to vote,” said Schulkin." 

CASTING CALL FOR ANOTHER ANITA HILL

"Now the networks are holding casting calls for some loon willing to falsely accuse Trump of sexual assault, so they can hype it like the Duke lacrosse case, Mattress Girl and Rolling Stone's fraternity rape. Unfortunately -- for us, fortunately for the media -- by the time the truth comes out, the election will be over." 

First, this: Hillary and the art of the dirty mouth  . . . "Nobody cultivates a dirtier mouth than Hillary Clinton. It’s difficult to describe Hillary in full because a decent regard for the gentle reader forbids it. Any teamster, cop, or Secret Service agent assigned to Hillary duty has to put his hands over his ears even to think about it.

"Several authors, notably Ronald Kessler, formerly of The Washington Post, have written about Hillary’s tense and often explosive relationship with the Secret Service. The slightest inconvenience, real or imagined, could detonate the virago’s fiery temper. Hillary is regarded as the all-time undisputed least favorite assignment in the Secret Service." . . .

Ann Coulter  *Please note graphic language throughout the column.* 

"Donald Trump is the only hope to save America, so the media have gone to war to stop him.

"They don't care about being exposed as lying, hypocritical swine -- I'd describe them more fully, but it would require locker room talk. They'll win the public back later. Right now, all that matters is stopping Trump.

"The same media that are pretending to consider the use of a bad word equivalent to rape don't give a fig about real rape, real sexual assault, real whoring, even real homicide, depending on who did it.

"JFK was an STD-infected drug addict who cavorted with whores at the White House, but the media ferociously hid all this from the public, publishing fairy-tale versions of his presidency as "Camelot.”

"And what happened to the 11-year rule? Trump said the word "p*ssy" 11 years ago, in a secretly recorded conversation. Eleven years before Sen. Teddy Kennedy ran for president, he killed a girl -- but he ran, not only without apology, but, indeed, as the Conscience of the Democratic Party.

"Throughout 2009, good, decent Americans who happened to oppose Obamacare were called the name of a gay sex act hundreds of times on TV -- and that was just on MSNBC. CNN's Anderson Cooper made the reference explicit when he giggled, "It's hard to talk when you're tea-bagging.”

"Among the people using this sexual slur were distinguished members of Congress such as U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez and Rep. Barney Frank. Were they fit to hold office?

"Going way, way, way back to a few weeks ago, the same media gasping in horror at "p*ssy" sure didn't mind my being called a c*nt repeatedly on a Comedy Central broadcast. And when I say "didn't mind," I mean they thought it was awesome.

"But saying "p*ssy" 11 years ago is over the line. " . . .

Obama DOJ Pursuing Criminal Charges Against Sheriff Joe Arpaio

James Longstreet:  A Contrast of Justice: Sheriff Joe won’t get the Hillary Treatment   "The Department of Justice is taking Sheriff Joe Arpaio to court.  He will be asked to provide computers and hard drives.  He will be accused of breaking the law for attempting to enforce a law, a federal law.

"He is going to court because he was instructed by authorities to not enforce or attempt to enforce federal law. "  . . . 

"Sheriff Joe’s wife won’t be meeting with Loretta Lynch.  There will be no communication secretly held between the DOJ and the Sheriff.  The DOJ won’t be giving out immunities or smashing Joe’s computers.  Apparently under this bifurcated justice system some win, some lose.  The patriot stands where?"

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." . . .

And the Clinton media pictures us this way:

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

. . . "It has been an open secret for years that the Saudis and other Gulf states were backing not only ISIS, but al-Qaeda and other extremist militias in Syria and around the Middle East. This appears to be show that the Obama administration was well aware of Saudi support for Islamic State and chose not to do much about it.

"According to The Intercept, the Saudis and other Gulf states were donating millions to the Clinton Foundation at the same time they were also supporting ISIS:" . . .
