Hillary is Complaining Again, This Time It's About Fox News. What, exactly, IS her mental state?

Katie Pavlich
Wait! Could this be...yes, it is! It's a Nazi salute! See for yourself! TD

Hillary is Complaining Again, This Time It's About Fox News

"Hillary Clinton is at it again and seems to have no plans to get off her world wide excuses tour.
"During an event with the women's organization "The Wing" this week in New York City, twice failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton complained about Fox News "trying to impeach her."
" 'Fox News is always trying impeach me. So, somebody needs to tell them that doesn't apply to a private citizen," Clinton said." . . .


No such thing as bad publicity, Fox.



Monica Showalter asks: Is Hillary Clinton going insane?. . . "Yes, it's disappointing to lose an election you thought you had in the bag. But what we are seeing here is someone at this late date who is unable to move on at all. She has no hobbies, no law firm to return to, no teaching posts to embrace, no office to run for. And with Bill in Little Rock with all those reputed honeys, it must be stagnant and lonely. Obviously, her entire life was about politics and when she lost the election, she was left with nothing. Now, she makes her living on making controversial statements and cheering on establishments such as the Manhattan club for women.
"This doesn't sound healthy for her."

If Fox News' Laura Ingraham Goes Down for 'Bullying,' You're Next!


Larry Elder  ". . . "Referring to Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and money contributed to him by the National Rifle Association, Hogg said: "What about the $176,000 you took for those 17 people's blood?"
"But Ingraham is a "bully"?
"Now does this "Ingraham Standard" apply to, say, CNN's Anderson Cooper? Frustrated at what he perceived as his guest's blind defense of President Donald Trump, Cooper said, "If (Trump) took a dump on his desk, you would defend him." Cooper apologized, but, then, so did Ingraham.
"What about Time Warner's "Real Time With Bill Maher" show on HBO? Here are some of Maher's greatest hits on conservative women:
Sarah Palin is a C-word — an offensive slang word for female genitalia.Sarah Palin is a "dumb t—-," using a derisive slang word for female genitalia.Sarah Palin's son, who has Down syndrome, is "retarded."Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann are "two bimbos."

"The Rev. Al Sharpton, an MSNBC host, has an exhaustive list of offensive, incendiary, anti-Semitic comments. At a rally in Harlem in 1991, Sharpton said, "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." A few days later, a 7-year-old black boy was accidentally hit and killed by a car driven by a Jew in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, New York. Immediately after the young boy's death, three days of anti-Semitic rioting ensued in Crown Heights, where two people died and almost 200 were wounded. Surrounded by a mob yelling, "Kill the Jew!" a young Talmudic scholar was stabbed to death. Many believe Sharpton's rhetoric played a role in fomenting the Crown Heights riots. A Columbia University professor called it "a modern-day pogrom.' " . . .

Dominos Fall: Another California City Bails On Sanctuary Status



Another Orange County city is joining the fight against sanctuary city status.
The Huntington Beach City Council voted 6 to 1 to sue the state over SB 54 — the Senate bill that would protect undocumented immigrants by limiting the cooperation between local police and ICE agents.
More than 100 people were at the meeting to tell the council they wanted to join the Orange County lawsuit, just days after Los Alamitos became the first city in Orange County to leave their sanctuary city status behind.
Congressman Dana Rohrabacher could barely be heard over the hecklers. . . .

The Grisly History of Chappaquiddick

Ben Shapiro  "On April 6, a bombshell will hit America's theaters." . . .

The Grisly History of Chappaquiddick

All subsquent photos added by TD

. . . "That bombshell comes in the form of an understated, well-made, well-acted film called "Chappaquiddick." (Full disclosure: They advertise with my podcast.) The film tells the story of Ted Kennedy's 1969 killing of political aide Mary Jo Kopechne; the Massachusetts Democratic senator drove his car off a bridge and into the Poucha Pond, somehow escaped the overturned vehicle and
left Kopechne to drown. She didn't drown, though. Instead, she reportedly
suffocated while waiting for help inside an air bubble while Kennedy waited 10 hours to call for help. The Kennedy family and its associated political allies then worked to cover up the incident. In the end, Teddy was sentenced to a two-month suspended jail sentence for leaving the scene of an accident. The incident prevented Kennedy from running for president in 1972 and 1976, though he attempted a run in 1980 against then-President Jimmy Carter, failing.

"So, why is the film important?

"It's important because it doesn't traffic in rumors and innuendo -- there is no attempt to claim that Kopechne was having an affair with Kennedy, or that she was pregnant with his child. It's important because it doesn't paint Kennedy as a monster but as a deeply flawed and somewhat pathetic scion of a dark and manipulative family. But most of all, it's important for two reasons: It's the first movie to actually tackle a serious Democratic scandal in the history of modern film, and it reminds us that Americans have long been willing to overlook scandal for the sake of political convenience.


See the source image

"First, there's the historic nature of the film. Here is an incomplete list of the films made about George W. Bush's administration since his election in 2000, nearly all of them accusatory in tone: "W," "Fahrenheit 9/11," "Recount," "Fair Game" and "Truth." There has still not been a movie made about former President Bill Clinton's impeachment (though one is apparently in the works). There's been no movie about former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's internment of the Japanese, former President Lyndon Johnson's dramatic mishandling of the Vietnam War (though we have had two hagiographies of LBJ, one directed by Rob Reiner, the other starring Bryan Cranston) or former President Woodrow Wilson's racism and near fascism.

"And it only took nearly 50 years to make a film about a Democratic icon leaving a woman to die in a river. It's amazing it was made in the first place.


See the source image

"Most importantly, though, "Chappaquiddick" reminds us that confirmation bias and wishful thinking aren't unique to one side of the aisle. In the era of President Trump, media members have  had fun telling Republicans that they have abandoned all of their moral principles in order to back a man whose agenda they support. But Democrats beat Republicans there by decades: They not only
overlooked a man who likely committed manslaughter but also made him into a hero, the "Lion of the Senate." We can't understand how morals and politics have been split in two without reckoning with this history.

" 'Chappaquiddick" is a must-see. It's just a shame it took half a century for it to see the light."


On April 3rd, Hillary Clinton blames misogyny, FBI, sexism, NRA, Russia for 2016 loss. Will it ever end?

Washington Examiner "Hillary Clinton on Tuesday recited a list of several factors that contributed to her 2016 loss against Donald Trump, and said America is in a "really bad spot" with President Trump in the White House.

" '[E]very day that goes by there’s more evidence and more proof of Russia and fake news and Cambridge Analytica and misogyny and sexism," she said. "I mean it’s hard, it’s very hard."
"She said the "lock her up" chants that Trump led during the election and other protests around her were signs of misogyny.
" 'Some of you probably remember when Kathy Griffin held up the head of Trump," she said. "What you may not remember is they were selling Trump holding up my head at the Republican convention and nobody said a word."
"Clinton also repeated her claim that she would have won her race against Trump if former FBI Director James Comey hadn't said publicly that he had reopened his investigation into her use of a private email server.
" 'But for the letter he wrote on October 28th I would have won," she said.
"She also blamed Russia for trying to influence the election.
" 'You had the Russians stealing the DNC emails and then stealing emails from my campaign," she said. "And on October 7th the CIA director said for the first time that the Russians were interfering in our election."
" 'You know the NRA has spent more money on me than any other candidate," she said. "We'll find out if any of that was Russian money.' "  She says, hoping this remark will go viral and be quoted by anti-Trump sources until it becomes "present truth".

After YouTube Shooting, We Need Better Vegan Activist Control
Nasim Aghdam Had Been Interviewed by Police After Father Warned She Might Go to YouTube

"Information came out about the YouTube shooter overnight that will surely make the story disappear. The shooter was an Iranian-born female who held anti-capitalist, animal rights views. She used a pistol, not an AR-15. It also looks like the police may have been able to prevent the shooting." . . .
 Merkel Under Pressure Over Germany’s Imported Stabbing Epidemic

. . . "Germany has witnessed a rise in violent crimes since Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to open the country’s border to migrants, prominently young men from Arab and Muslim countries, in the autumn of 2015.
"Last week, Germany witnessed a string of riots and deadly attacks involving migrant gangs, with the leading German newspaper Bild Zeitung describing the countrywide violence that began last Friday as “bloody weekend.”
"Turkish, Iraqi, and Lebanese criminal gangs waged violent turf wars in the cities of Duisburg and Nordhorn armed with baseball bats, machetes, and knives, local media reported.
"The German Bavarian daily MERKUR reported the police union’s demands amid soaring stabbing attacks:" . . .

The media have themselves to blame

Silvio Canto, Jr.  " 'Fake news" is killing the media's credibility.  According to a Monmouth poll:
Large majorities of the American public believe that traditional media outlets engage in reporting fake news and that outside sources are actively trying to plant fake stories in the mainstream media. 
When it comes to the meaning of "fake news," a majority believe that it involves editorial decisions as well as inaccurate reporting. 
"This is terrible news for the news media services.
"Frankly, the media can only blame themselves, for three reasons:
"First, they gave President Obama a free pass and never challenged a thing he said or did.  After all, what other president would have gotten away with saying he learned about Fast & Furious reading the morning newspaper?  What about all the Obamacare promises?
"Second, the growing dependence on "leaks" has made a lot of front-page stories worthless.  Does anyone, other than people obsessed with hating Trump, believe any of these stories anymore?  Just ask Brian Ross! 
"Third, the attacks on President Trump have backfired.  Just check CNN's ratings over the last year.  Yesterday, Jim Acosta of CNN made a total partisan fool out of himself by yelling questions at the president during the egg hunt party at the White House.
"Maybe news directors need to call a few urgent staff meetings.  It's time for reporters and news people to do a little soul-searching.
"Unfortunately for the media's credibility, too many of us think the media have an agenda rather than an honest desire to report the news!
"Again, they did it to themselves."  Entire article posted here.

CNN's own David Hogg, gun salesman

UPDATE: Enough already: Parkland kids' fifteen minutes of fame is over
Now, as teenagers are wont to do, they've taken their passion too far.  Their idealism, which was shaped and spurred by a tragic event, has turned into vitriolic animosity.  Hogg and his peers are no longer asking for gun control legislation – they want to eradicate the reputation of anyone who offers disagreement, creating a new caste of opinionated untouchables.
Thomas Lifson  . . . "David Hogg is now helping to increase the number of firearms in the hands of Americans, the very opposite of what he says he wants to accomplish. One of the drawbacks of being a young crusader is the inability to predict complex cause-and-effect reactions. Everything seems so simple and clear when you are young and ignorant of human nature and cannot fathom in the least the ways of thinking of people who disagree with you."

Gun Sales Soar, Set Record in March Amid Push for New Gun-Control Measures

David Hogg on Whether Shadow Groups Are Supporting Ingraham Boycott: ‘I Don’t Have Any Shadowy Figures Behind Me’
. . . "Hogg's attempt at a boycott campaign got the attention of Media Matters for America president Angelo Carusone, who has been instrumental in targeting Fox News host Sean Hannity's advertisers. Hogg's tweet prompted Carusone to warn him about the importance of being "careful with advertiser lists unless you really know the source they came from and how they compiled."

"Media Matters was founded by David Brock, an ally of Hillary Clinton, and is partly funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, who donated a $1 million back in 2010 "to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast." Think Progress editor and founder Judd Legum has also been instrumental in pushing the boycott on Twitter and through multiple articles on his website.

"Hogg then shifted the conversation away from shadowy groups to discuss the negativity aimed at the gun control movement, where he has emerged as a national voice."


The Slammer

California Democrats Invoke Race as They Propose Limits When Police Can Shoot Guns

Saving the Republic



"Here you have a clear example of what happens when there is one party rule in a state. CA legislators are out of control now proposing a bill when police will be allowed to use their guns! Not one of these people has ever experienced the split second life and death situation many police and sheriff deputies face everyday on the street. This is really no surprise to see from the very same people who are systematically legislating the Second Amendment into oblivion in CA. Gun owners are under constant attack, new laws are proposed after every major mass shooting, it’s no wonder these radicals now want to dictate when law enforcement can use their guns." . . .
. . . 
"Race did not play a role in the Sacramento police shooting of Stephon Clark. To compare that shooting with what happened in Parkland is demonstrably false, and deceitful. The Parkland killer didn’t have a weapon on him when he was arrested. He followed the orders by the arresting officer, he did not try to run and it wasn’t dark where he could have had something in his hands that could’ve been mistaken for a gun. These legislators are using race to justify the action which will result in cops getting killed.
"There have already been instances where police were hesitant to draw their weapons over fears of what will happen as a result of firing their weapon. …"

‘Remarkably stupid’: Calif Dems push ‘first of its kind’ legislation restricting when a cop can use his gun  . . . "And somewhere between “when reasonable” and “when necessary” lay the bodies of dead cops who, with added pressure of whether its legal to use their service weapon, hesitate a second too long.

"The co-author of the “first of its kind state law,” Democrat Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, added that the bill is intended to ensure state policy “stresses the sanctity of human life.”
"This coming from those who support the killing of unborn children." . . .



DOJ: Border-Crossers Have 88 Percent Chance of Evading Deportation by Claiming ‘Credible Fear’

Breitbart


"The issue of the country’s loose asylum laws — where foreign nationals can claim that they are fearing for their lives in their native country and be released into the U.S. until their day in court — has sparked debate, as a caravan of 1,500 Central American asylum-seekers are headed for the southern border.
"In 88 percent of cases, foreign nationals seeking asylum in the U.S. evade immediate deportation after claiming credible fear, according to DOJ. Only half of the foreign nationals who evade immediate deportation by claiming credible fear, however, end up filing for asylum status after they are released into the U.S.
"As Attorney General Jeff Sessions has noted, the fact that only half of the asylum-seekers end up seeking asylum once they are in the U.S. “suggests” that their claims of credible fear are not valid and that they were using the country’s loose asylum laws to enter the U.S.
"After former President Obama’s administration acted as a rubber stamp for asylum-seekers looking to permanently stay in the U.S., the number of credible fear cases increased from 5,000 in 2009 to 94,000 in 2016.
"At the border alone, between 2009 and 2016 credible fear claims by border-crossers increased from 3,000 cases to nearly 70,000 cases. Now, the immigration courts have been hampered by a backlog of more than 600,000 immigration cases pending." . . .

YouTube shooter ID’d as woman with apparent vendetta against company. Politicians call for gun control in three...two...one...

Update: This Incident Shows How Heeding Warning Signs of a School Shooter Works Better Than Gun Control  "All of the glaring red flags surrounding the Parkland shooter were ignored.
"Authorities failed to connect the dots through years of bad behavior, incidents on and off campus, as well as reports from concerned citizens that the shooter was displaying worrisome behavior." . . .
"[YouTube] stopped everything and now she has no income."
- Ismail Aghdam, father of shooting suspect Nasim Aghdam


Fox News  "The woman suspected of shooting three people at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, Calif. before killing herself was furious with the company because it had stopped paying her for videos she posted on the platform, her father said late Tuesday.

"The police identified the shooter as Nasim Aghdam, 39, of Southern California -- and said they had a run-in with her earlier in the day.

"Ismail Aghdam said he reported his daughter missing on Monday after she did not answer her phone for two days. He said the family received a call from Mountain View police around 2 a.m. Tuesday saying they found Nasim sleeping in a car.

"He said he warned them she might be headed to YouTube because she "hated" the company.

"Mountain View Police spokeswoman Katie Nelson confirmed officers located a woman by the same name asleep in a vehicle asleep in a Mountain View parking lot Tuesday morning." . . .

YouTube shooter's father says daughter 'hated' the company, warned Mountain View police about her issues
"Suspected YouTube shooter Nasim Aghdam drove more than 500 miles from San Diego to reach the tech giant’s San Bruno, Calif., headquarters because “she was angry,” according to her father." . . .
"The four victims in the shooting were not immediately identified." . . .

"San Bruno investigators initially believed the shooting was motivated by a domestic dispute but later said there was no evidence to suggest she knew the victims or targeted them.". . .
[Her father] said the site “stopped everything,” preventing Aghdam from making money off dozens of videos about vegan cooking tips, animal rights activism and music videos in foreign languages.

UPDATED: Mike ‘MyPillow’ Lindell rocks it with proud, pro-Laura Ingraham tweet

. .But Lindell’s one of the good guys — one of the true-blue American types who didn’t allow the storm to sweep away his principles, to kill his free speech and free expression. He’s one who didn’t flee when the battle came to his door
I'm sure the left is busy with internet searches as we speak to come up with any dirt on Mr. Lindell they can find. And when they find some, they will publish it.
 My wife and I each sleep on his pillows and love them, by the way. TD

Washington Times  "Mike Lindell, of
“MyPillow”inventing and founding company fame, put forth a bold message on his Twitter feed that, in just a few short words, smacked to shame-land the would-be fascists and wanna-be censors of the world who’ve been demanding Laura Ingraham’s head on a Fox News platter.


"Listen up, all you cowardly and wishy-washy boycotting businesses: This is how it’s done.
"Lindellwrote: “I did not take my advertising down from @IngrahamAngle and @FoxNews, nor do I intend to.”
"Bam. What a stand-up guy. What a brave guy, a principled, pro-America guy.
"So very different than the dozen or so weak-kneed advertisers who quaked in their shoes and pulled their Fox News spots just because they were contacted by a bunch of minor-age kids with a petty, petulant point of view — minor-age kids led by David Hogg, resident Fascist-In-Training for the hard left.
"It was Hogg who called for a company boycott of Ingraham’s show simply because she characterized him as whiney for complaining about his failure to get into one of his colleges of choice."
. . . "Several advertisers threw down with Hogg’s side. Among: Hula, Nutrish, TripAdvisor Inc., Nestle SA, Wayfair Inc., Expedia Group Inc., Stitch Fix, Bayer, Ruby Tuesday, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Office Depot, Atlantis Paradise Island resort, Jenny Craig, Johnson & Johnson and MiracleEar."
. . . "But Lindell’s one of the good guys — one of the true-blue American types who didn’t allow the storm to sweep away his principles, to kill his free speech and free expression. He’s one who didn’t flee when the battle came to his door.
"And for that, he stands apart and above. . "

‘My Pillow’ CEO Says He Will Not Be Bullied By Hogg Boycott, Will Stay With Ingraham, Fox  "Because it isn’t really about Hogg or Ingraham per se, it’s about fighting the leftist attempt to censor those with which they disagree."

UPDATE:  I ordered four My Pillows. Maybe you should too . . . "Mark Reilly, managing editor of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, promptly reported a scandal involving Lindell.
" 'Mike Lindell, the CEO of Chaska-based MyPillow Inc., has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump since before the 2016 election. And he's still a big enough booster to spend Easter Weekend at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort," Reilly reported.
"Wow. And he gave the maximum donation to Trump's campaign.
"And a My Pillow! 
"Will Reilly list all the maximum donors to Hillary? I think they wanted a little more than an Easter egg.
"The Marxist fascists have politicized everything.
"We can win this pillow fight." . . .  From Don Surber
