Hillary!

Expiration Candidates

. . . "Mind you, we do believe that Hillary has no intention of "running." This is, after all, a woman who has to pay heavily-muscled men to carry her up and down stairs when not dragging her limp body into a waiting getaway van after a public appearance.

"But not for a second do we believe she's given up her all-encompassing obsession with becoming President. Rather, we expect her to maintain an active public profile while all the other Dems batter each other on the stump, after which she'll step out on the blood-soaked battlefield and graciously accept the "draft Hillary" movement which someone with no traceable connection to the Clinton Foundation has thoughtfully and generously funded."

WaPo Fact Checker Finds Hillary Clinton Got A Lot Wrong In Claims Of Voter Suppression     . . . "After Hillary Clinton claimed somewhere between 40,000 and 80,000 people were turned away from the polls because of their skin in Wisconsin during the 2016 presidential election, The Washington Post fact checker had to give her “four Pinocchios” for being “wrong on multiple levels' .” . . .

"I spoke to the creators of Belgium’s anti-Semitic carnival float. They’re not sorry."

The Belgians fought the Nazis valiantly during the WW2 occupation by Hitler. But one needs to be aware that many of them joined the Nazi SS to fight alongside Himmler, Hitler, and Goering. TD

Jewish Telegraphic Agency

"I initially had some sympathy for the creators of an anti-Semitic carnival float in Belgium.

"Studying their CVs and past creations for the annual carnival of Aalst, I saw that they were a group of some 20 upstanding citizens — a fireman, a technician, an Education Ministry official and a police department employee, to name a few. They had invested countless unpaid hours to produce something they thought was beautiful but ended up horrifying viewers all over the world.

"Their creation, which they unveiled Sunday at Belgium’s most celebrated carnival, featured two huge puppets depicting pink-clad haredi Orthodox Jews. One of them leers while smoking a cigar, a rat perched on his shoulder. Against a synagogue facade, the puppets have money bags at their feet. A platform following the float carried revelers dressed like the puppets who danced to a song about “bulging coffers” and “Jews getting extra fat.' ” . . .

Bernie Sanders Slams Effort to Condemn Ilhan Omar

"The Washington Free Beacon reported on Wednesday that Sanders has added staffers with ties to the anti-Israel community."

Free Beacon  "Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) came out against the now-stalled push by Democratic leadership in the House to condemn anti-Semitism as a response to comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.).

"In a Wednesday afternoon statement, Sanders said he viewed the effort to condemn anti-Semitism in the House as a way to stifle debate on Israel.

"Anti-Semitism is a hateful and dangerous ideology which must be vigorously opposed in the United States and around the world," Sanders said. "We must not, however, equate anti-Semitism with legitimate criticism of the right-wing, Netanyahu government in Israel."

"What I fear is going on in the House now is an effort to target Congresswoman Omar as a way of stifling that debate," he said. "That's wrong".  

"Sanders further called for "an even-handed Middle East policy which brings Israelis and Palestinians together for a lasting peace."  

"The statement from Sanders comes as debate rages within the Democratic caucus in the House on how to respond to the latest anti-Semitic comments from Omar, who last week suggested during a far-left townhall meeting that supporters of Israel have "allegiance to a foreign country."

"Omar, like Sanders is now suggesting, said during the event that efforts to label her were an effort to stifle debate." . . .

Kamala Harris Defends Omar After Latest Anti-Semitic Outburst, Says She’s The Real Victim…  . . . “ 'We all have a responsibility to speak out against anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, racism, and all forms of hatred and bigotry,” Harris said.

“ 'But like some of my colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus, I am concerned that the spotlight being put on Congresswoman Omar may put her at risk,” she added." . . .

Rick Moran: Democrats can't decide whether to come out of the closet as anti-Semites or not  "The Democrats find themselves in a bind over whether or not they should acknowledge that a sizable segment of their party are antisemites. They had a chance yesterday to go on record with a strong statement condemning antisemitism and ended up panicking when the party's radical left wing pushed back." . . .

"There's really no excuse for this. These and other more "mainstream" Democrats are pretending that the antisemitic comments by Omar aren't the issue; the issue is hate directed against Omar that "may put her at risk." It's certain to make the radical antisemites in the party feel better about themselves because they want US policy to be more "even handed" - accept the murderous Palestinians as legitimate "partners" and push Israel to commit suicide."  Emphasis added by TD

Democrat James Clyburn Utters Most INSANE Defense Yet Of Ilhan Omar

No matter if you like President Trump or now, he stands between us and these terrifying leftists

One can only hope.

Get Trump's Kids? The smarter Democrats are steering clear. The dumber ones? Not so much...   . . . "Because the fact of the matter is, when you're obviously going after someone's kids in a desperate bid to take down the old man, because you can't get the old man, the voters are going to see what's happening and get pretty disgusted.  It's an appalling state of affairs to see the prosecutorial dragnet target the kids and their spouses, who after all had little to say about who their father is. Ivanka, Jared Kushner, Don Jr. and Eric Trump are all potentially in the crossfire now. Internal polls and general voter behavior suggest that voters find this bad stuff and that does get some of these Democrats' attention. No wonder they have the willies.

"But in the Politico report, these three were the only cited examples. There's also an abundant supply of the other kind of Democrats, the kind who can't stop themselves and want to see an attack on all fronts to take down the kids, too. Do they outnumber the smarter Democrats?" . . .

. . . Should the kids of Joe Biden and John Kerry, both of whom have gotten immensely rich in matters linked to their father's position in public office, suddenly be targets of find-something, find-anything probes? How about the kids of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi? And then there are the Kenndy kids - a look there can find all kinds of stuff. Shall the 'can indict a ham sandwich' style of prosecution be leveled at those kids, too? Anything that can be done on one side can be done on the other. Democrats, who changed House and Senate rules in the belief that theirs was permanent political power, looked on in dismay as Republicans took power and captured their weapons.  . . .

Joe DiGenova has advice for all 81 targets of House Dems’ ‘fishing expedition’ on Trump: ‘Everyone should take the 5th…’

BPR  "Former federal prosecutor and Fox News contributor Joe DiGenova tore into the Democratic Party for the sprawling probe of President Donald Trump that not only targets his administration and campaign, but also goes after the president’s family members.

"Appearing on “The Story,” where host Martha MacCallum reminded viewers that the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee “uses language to remind everyone this is the committee that launched Watergate” and that “it’s clear” they are heading toward impeachment, DiGenova said those who received document requests should refuse to respond.

“ 'This is a perjury trap,” DiGenova insisted. “It is not a legitimate investigation, it’s a fishing expedition. They are trying to get people up there to make them look bad so they can try to make the president look bad.”

"He also said Carter Page “is the last person who should talk to them,” saying he was framed by the FBI in an attempt to use a FISA warrant to go after the president.

“What the committee is going to try to do with Carter Page is make him look like he was a Russian spy when he wasn’t so they can dirty him up and refer him to the Justice Department for perjury,” the former prosecutor said.

" 'No one should talk to this committee,” he added. “Everyone should take the 5th and if everyone takes the 5th, the American people will understand that this isn’t a legitimate investigation. It’s political theater and disgraceful conduct approved of by the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.”

"And make no mistake, President Trump is the ultimate target." . . .

2020 Dems Avoiding Red, White and Blue Colors

Tony Branco

Frontpage  "Unsurprising.

"The Dem base consists of people who would rather burn an American flag than hug one. 

"These are primaries which means that the lefty fringe will be overepresented(sp) and red, white and blue will just trigger them. Plus the hipster design studios they'll be relying on are stocked full of the same people. Add on the fact that the rest of the base will lean heavily toward tribal demos and it's a sure thing.

Of the now 14 different Democratic candidates officially running for office in 2020, just four have what might be considered "traditional" logos incorporating the red, white, and blue of the American flag. The rest of the presidential hopefuls have branded their campaigns with hues of "liberty green" to hot pink to vintage yellow. And as each of their future lawn signs serves to prove, this crop of candidates is appealing to a new demographic of voters, and turning the tide on a dated portrait of America. (Emphases in the original)

"Or, more accurately, on America.

"The alternatives though are seventy shades of ugly. Vintage faded colors straight from the seventies make everything look like an Instagram filter from hell. I don't think Biden will go this route, but you can count on much of the 2020 field looking like an old album cover, which will hand Trump the logo victory by default." . . .

Media Magic: How a Democrat Pedophile Became a 'Trump Scandal'

Ann Coulter    "Strangely, the media have suddenly taken an intense interest in the case of pedophile and
 major Democratic donor Jeffrey Epstein.

"In 2005, the Palm Beach police were told by the mother of a young girl in West Palm Beach that her daughter had been brought to the Democratic donor's mansion and asked to have sex with him for money. This kicked off an intensive, one-year undercover investigation.

"The police sifted through Epstein's garbage and interviewed 17 witnesses, including the housemen, who told of sex toys and dildos left behind after the underage girls left. One of Epstein's procurers, a 20-year-old local woman named Haley Robson, who was paid $200 for every teenaged girl she brought to Jeffrey, was cooperating with police, telling them she was like "Heidi Fleiss." They obtained statements from five of Epstein's young victims, who said they'd been paid $200 to $300 to engage in various sex acts with him. Police raided Epstein's home, finding explicit photographs of teenaged girls, incriminating phone records -- and one girl's high school transcript.

"But when the police chief brought this mountain of evidence to Palm Beach County's Democratic prosecutor Barry Krischer, he punted, charging the Democrat child molester with only one count of soliciting prostitution -- yes, the child victims were labeled "prostitutes" -- and offered Epstein probation.

"Perhaps Krischer was exhausted, having just spent three years hounding Rush Limbaugh for abusing back pain medication.

"Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter exploded in rage. (Meanwhile, Epstein claimed to be the victim of an anti-Semitic conspiracy on Palm Beach.) Chief Reiter wrote an open letter to Krischer asking the Democrat to remove himself from the case. Then he turned to the Bush administration to seek justice against a Democratic donor/accused child rapist.

"As stories go, a child sex case involving a Palm Beach billionaire was pretty big. It was covered in the British press, in Florida media, at The New York Post and at Fox News. Bill O'Reilly led with the story on his Fox News show.

"But CNN and MSNBC did not breathe a word about a Democratic prosecutor refusing to hold a Democratic child rapist accountable." . . . 

Democratic National Committee rejects Fox News for debates, citing New Yorker article

MSN

Fox News anchors Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier, right, and Chris Wallace, left, moderated the first Republican presidential debate in Cleveland in 2015.

"The Democratic National Committee has decided to exclude Fox News Channel from televising any of its candidate debates during the 2019-2020 cycle as a result of published revelations detailing the cable network’s close ties to the Trump administration.

"In a statement Wednesday, DNC Chairman Tom Perez cited a story in the New Yorker magazine this week that detailed how Fox has promoted President Trump’s agenda. The article, entitled “The Making of the Fox News White House,” suggested that the news network had become a “propaganda” vehicle for Trump.

“ 'I believe that a key pathway to victory is to continue to expand our electorate and reach all voters,” said Perez in his statement to The Washington Post. “That is why I have made it a priority to talk to a broad array of potential media partners, including Fox News. Recent reporting in the New Yorker on the inappropriate relationship between President Trump, his administration and Fox News has led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates. Therefore, Fox News will not serve as a media partner for the 2020 Democratic primary debates.' ”  . . .  Full article here.

"Mike Bloomberg, the owner of Bloomberg News, released a column that discredits any political coverage by his business news company because he called the President of the United States a threat to Our Nation.
"In so doing, Bloomberg made his a Fake News organization.
"Bloomberg has that privilege. He owns the company. But he flushed decades of trust down the drain.

National Border Patrol Council President: There is a NATIONAL EMERGENCY On Our BORDER -- Here's PROOF

Socio-Political-Journal...

"As a 21-year front line veteran Border Patrol agent and president of the National Border Patrol Council, I'd like to put to bed the false notion that there is no national emergency on the United States/Mexico border. I hope facts will do the trick.
"Since November of 2013, I've been called upon to give expert Congressional testimony about various aspects of border security on 18 separate occasions. I've testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the House Judiciary Committee, and the House Committee on Natural Resources.
"This is important because during every hearing regarding border security at which I testified in 2014, Democrats claimed the United States was in the state of a humanitarian crisis at the border. While Republicans agreed with the notion of a crisis, they argued it was one of immigration loophole exploitation.

"DEMOCRATS BLOCK TRUMP'S BORDER EMERGENCY, BUT THEIR ACTIONS ARE OUR ACTUAL NATIONAL EMERGENCY

"Regardless of the underlying reasoning, both parties acknowledged a crisis at the border.
"Oh the hypocrisy.
"While a plurality of Democrats claimed a humanitarian border crisis in 2014, they’ve changed their tune in 2019. Using political rhetoric instead of facts, those same Democrats are claiming that there is no crisis today except in President Trump’s mind. But a simple apples-to-apples numbers comparison reveals their hypocrisy." . . .

Hillary lets the NY Times know that she didn’t really mean it when she said she wasn’t going to run for president

Thomas Lifson  "A day after telling a local New York television station, News 12 Westchester, “"I'm not running, but I'm going to keep on working and speaking and standing up for what I believe," Hillary Clinton seems to have had second thoughts. Someone (my guess is Hillary herself) told New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman that she didn’t really mean it:" . . .
"Watch her statement on camera and decide for yourself if “she wasn’t trying to be emphatic”:"

. . . "My guess is that she was a bit surprised and upset at the speed with which sighs of relief were heard from most Democrats – not just the contenders for the nomination, but across the board, including the rank and file. She is rightly afraid that she is now relegated to has-been status, someone who can be ignored. The comment on John Kerry reveals the jealousy and fear she feels that other Democrats may eclipse her in prominence, influence, and the ability to command speaker’s fees and raise money.

"This is a woman who, after all, has lusted after power her entire adult life, ever since studying Sail Alinsky and taking on the role of agitator, and then discarding it for power-wielder instead." . . .

Vice President Hillary Clinton?  . . . "Since HRC has covertly managed to position herself as the bread and butter of the DNC, it is unlikely that any 2020 Democratic presidential candidate would refuse her if she made the request to be a running mate.  I am predicting that is exactly what she has done or will do.

"If, and it’s a big if, the campaign is successful, Clinton would still get her coveted title as “First Female,” in this case first female Vice President.  She would also be first in line for the seat of President if anything unfortunate happened theoretically to the Democratic President.  Certainly, she does have a history filled of unfortunate happenings to people in her inner circle." . . .

Will history compare Clinton with British Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher as much as I do?
