This Might Be Why Hillary Won’t Release Her Goldman Sachs Speech Transcripts

Daily Caller  "As Hillary Clinton resists calls to release transcripts from her paid Goldman Sachs speeches, details of those events are emerging, and they aren’t good for the Democratic presidential candidate.

“ 'It was pretty glowing about us,” one attendee at an Oct. 2013 Goldman Sachs event in Arizona told Politico about Clinton’s speech, which earned the former secretary of state $225,000. “It’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. It was like a rah-rah speech. She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.”

“It would bury her against Sanders,” the attendee told Politico, referring to Clinton’s challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. “It really makes her look like an ally of the firm.”

Bernie Sanders to Huddle With Al Sharpton

The Daily Beast . . . "However, by meeting with Sharpton at Sylvia’s Restaurant—the very place then-Sen. Barack Obama sat down with the preacher in 2008—Sanders is sending a message to Clinton forces: Don’t sleep.

. . . "In July 2015, Sanders and former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley were interrupted by BlackLivesMatter activists at they attempted to address a conference in Arizona. Sanders stormed off the stage and was later ridiculed on social media under the hashtag #BernieSoBlack. In the months since, the campaign has invested heavily in reopening a conversation with young activists and now believes Clinton is as vulnerable."

"An endorsement from Sharpton is not imminent. But he told The Daily Beast that candidates are mistaken if they believe they can sew up the nomination without reaching out to black voters of every age. That means connecting with young social justice activists across the country as well as civil rights leaders, he said." . . .

Don’t tell Bernie Sanders, but capitalism has made human life fantastically better. Here’s how

James Pethokoukis "Back in 1995, now-Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said, “I personally happen not to be a great believer in the free enterprise system for many reasons.”

Pethokoukis

"And having watched Sanders during this primary season, it doesn’t appear to me that the self-described democratic socialist has much changed his opinion of capitalism. Which is both amazing and appalling. The single greatest story of human achievement of the past 2,000 years is the dramatic rise in living standards of the past 200 years. It’s an astounding ascent — see above chart — driven by innovative, entrepreneurial capitalism. Free enterprise. Economic freedom.

"Yes, workers in advanced economies today are many multiples wealthier — almost incalculably so — than their counterparts in the early 19th century. But here is another way of looking at, thanks to a new study by consultancy Deloitte showing how technology-driving innovation has radically altered lives in Britain for the much better:" . . .

Are You Ready to #SettleForHillary?

From Drudge:
Bill Clinton’s ‘Bimbos’ Flock to Team Trump   . . . "Jones . . .  is not the only one of Bill Clinton’s accusers to reemerge in this increasingly bizarre election.

“ 'I don’t want to see the Clintons back in the White House,” Kathleen Willey told The Daily Beast in a phone interview. Willey, who alleged that Clinton sexually assaulted her while she was a White House aide in 1993 . . .plans to give public speeches assailing Hillary for her alleged attempts to suppress her husband’s accusers." . . .

. . . “I think [Hillary Clinton] is absolutely a liar and I think she is absolutely not for women’s rights,” Broaddrick said." . . .

While Trump and Sanders smell victory, Hillary Clinton contemplates humilation  "Hillary Clinton is running on one issue: Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, very few Americans like Hillary Clinton."

Maraniss: Bill Clinton 'Frail,' 'No Gleam,' 'No Electricity'  . . . "He lit up only when Chelsea talked about him. Then when it was his turn to talk a little bit of his old self came back, but not much." . . .
Sanders' last night turns into hippie music festival

American Thinker:
What if Sanders supporters see a crooked Clinton?   . . . "Given the microscopic lead Clinton had in the Iowa caucus of 49.9% for Clinton and 49.6% for Sanders, any fraud could have cost Sanders a victory, for which his supporters had campaigned so hard.
"So all those voters who drove long hours in Iowa winter nights to hear Sanders speak might have been cheated by corrupt party hacks controlled by the Clinton machine." . . .

Bernie and Hillary Both Wrong About Evil Bankers   . . . "Hillary accuses Bernie of “innuendo.”

"But they both want you to believe that “greedy bankers” rather than stupid government policy cause the Crash of 2008. So we need Dodd-Frank to keep the bankers tame and obedient.

Lloyd Marcus: The Sanders/Clinton Rocky Horror Show: A Sneak Peek  . . . "I could go on and on with examples of how Democrats seek to destroy every principle, value, and institution that have made America great and that most Americans hold dear. Democrats hide their evil socialist/progressive intended transformation of America beneath a shroud of faux compassion. Everything coming out of the Democratic Party is either anti-God or anti-American." . . .

PJ Media: Shakeup at Camp Clinton   . . . "Such arrogance led directly to the idea that Clinton could simply project an air of inevitability and be assured her party’s nomination. If she wins—-as she very well might—-it will be in spite of her original approach.

This next line is sinfully delicious:

No one could have predicted Barack Obama’s sudden rise, though the Clinton campaign was slower to recognize it than most.

"Replace "Barack Obama" with "Bernie Sanders," and Joshua Green could almost refile his old piece as brand-new reporting." . . .

UPDATE: Black Sheriff just SCHOOLED Beyoncé for racial Super Bowl show…  “ '[Beyonce] coming out… in those ‘Black Panther’ type uniforms, would that be acceptable if a white band came out in hoods and white sheets in the [same] sort of fashion? We would be appalled and outraged.”

"Sheriff Clarke added, “the Black Panthers are a subversive hate group in America.' ” Hat tip to Col. Allen West

Daily Mail

. . . "Her backing dancers appeared dressed as Black Panthers activists with all-black outfits and signature black berets 

"Several dancers also appeared in an image holding a piece of paper reading 'justice 4 Martin Woods, a black man shot dead by around a dozen police in San Francisco after refusing to drop a knife

"The Black Panthers were an armed group involved in the black power movement of the Sixties and Seventies

"They followed the teachings of men such as Malcolm X, who advocated the use of violence to overcome oppression " . . .

"The Black Panthers, once dubbed 'the greatest threat to the internal security of the country' by FBI Director J Edgar Hoover, was a rights group that operated in the Sixties and Seventies."

"Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mother, also uploaded this image to her Instagram of herself and the dancers giving the black power salute."

. . . "Several fans hit out at Beyonce over the music video and advocated boycotting the Super Bowl, accusing her of spreading an anti-cop message which only serves to further divide communities.

"Writing on the singer's Facebook page yesterday, Kristen Wickham said: 'As the wife of a police officer, I am offended by this entire video. Rise above and stay above the strife. 

" 'For a girl who grew up in a privileged, wealthy family, she has no business pandering to those who didn't. She has no idea what struggle is.

" 'I have unliked you and your husband's pages, deleted all of your songs from my collection and will never buy another thing associated with either of you.'

"Meanwhile Rebekah Simpson added: 'Planning to boycott the Super Bowl Halftime show. All Lives Matter! I am offended by your song "Formation" and its implication that there is a vast conspiracy in law enforcement against a particular race. " . . .

She added: 'I wanted people to feel proud and have love for themselves.'

Andrew Klavan: Evil to Sportswriters Who Evil Think
. . . "It's only when you look past the color of a man's skin that you can really see the content of his character. So hey, MSM: Why not try that on Barack Obama and see what kind of president — and what kind of man — he looks like then?"

Hoary old Bill making liberals sweat

Russ Vaughn  "Brit Hume, speaking on FOX News, noted that Bill Clinton is now an elderly man – a thought that I'll wager has been going through many American minds since last Monday night, when Hillary gave her post-caucus acceptance...er, victory speech in Iowa.  While much of the television audience was focused on the fuming candidate, many were mesmerized by an airhead Clinton voter in the crowd behind the podium.  The young man was upstaging madam secretary by trying to lick her campaign stickers off his cheeks.  But many, including me, were fixed on and fascinated by the former president standing behind his podium-pounding partner." . . .

Bill's Hillary pin is upside -down.

Despite misleading articles to the contrary, Michelle Obama did not institute a new rule that banned the U.S. Navy from serving fried foods.

Snopes   "Claim: Michelle Obama instituted a new rule that prohibits the Navy from serving fried foods."

Just read that Michelle Obama has taken food away from members of the military services. Is this true?

"Origins:    On 12 July 2015 the Navy Times reported that Navy Secretary Ray Mabus had announced a new food initiative for that branch of the armed services which would be "the foundation of a healthy lifestyle." Among the changes reported by Mabus was a new menu for sailors that lacks fried foods such as breaded chicken and french fries, has more fruits and vegetables, and replaces whole milk with skim and soy:" . . .
. . . 
"In regards to the claim made above, although first Lady Michelle Obama has been a leading voice in promoting healthier eating to combat obesity, she was not mentioned in the Navy Times article or the "Go for Green" press release. Nonetheless, several people still took to Facebook to blame the First Lady for the announced changes to Navy food servings:" . . .

Seven Facts About the Black Panther Party Amid Beyoncé Super Bowl Tribute

Big Government

"The part-socialist, part-black nationalist Black Panther Party is headline news again, thanks to Beyonce’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show performance of her song “Formation,”–“a big wet kiss to Black Lives Matter” that pays tribute to the 1960s militant group.

"In the fall of 1966, the Black Panther Party was founded by left-wing militants Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. Newton, like Seale, had several run-ins with police. He was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison for the shooting death of an Oakland police officer. Publicity around his arrest and the popularity of “Free Newton” propaganda provided the public pressure that led to his release.

"Seale and seven others (now known as the Chicago Seven) were arrested at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Seale was sentenced to four years in prison for contempt of court. He now lives and works with young political activists in Oakland, California.

Hillary's world lately

Brock: Time for Bernie's 'purity bubble' to be burst

“Senator Sanders is trying to live in the purity bubble, and it needs to be burst," David Brock said.

. . . " On the topic of Sanders’ boisterous supporters — some of whose attacks Bill Clinton called “vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane … not to mention sexist” — Brock echoed the former president’s concerns, adding that Hillary Clinton’s large deficit among young voters can be partly explained by their online environment." . . .

HopeNChange

. . . "To that end, Hillary asked herself what vivacious, high-powered celebrity superstar could help her reel in those youthful female votes, and she came up with...Madeleine Albright. The 78-year old Secretary of State under Bill Clinton (although we don't know how often), who helped negotiate an Iran-style deal with the North Koreans which gave them billions of dollars in aid to keep them from ever building the kind of nuclear weapons they tested last month, or ever developing an intercontinental ballistic missile of the type they launched Saturday."

Daily Caller

Katherine Timpf: Sorry, Madeline Albright, but I’d Rather Go to Hell Than Support Hillary Clinton   . . . "Personally, I would never support Hillary. She’s a hawkish, lying, corrupt, untrustworthy woman. She cares about nothing except money and her own political prowess, and will destroy anyone who dares to get in her way.

Bill Clinton Slams Bernie Supporters as Being 'Sexist' Toward Hillary . . . "On Bill Maher's show Friday night, Gloria Steinem suggested that young women are backing Sanders' campaign because "when you're young, you're thinking, 'Where are the boys?' The boys are with Bernie." Maher promptly told Steinem that she'd "smack" him if he suggested the same thing.

"Executive director of Progressive Democrats of America said in response to Steinem's comments that if you're pro-choice "presumably that includes the right to our own political decisions as well.' " . . .

College Women Say They’re Offended by Hillary Clinton’s Use of the Gender Card   . . . “ 'I also am a woman,” another said. “I also face discrimination being a woman. Her feminism does not represent my feminism, and I think that’s really important to differentiate that.' ”

Prof Bans Students From Saying ‘Husband’ Or ‘Wife’ Because It’s Not ‘Inclusive’

Daily Caller

. . . “ 'The following policies and guidelines will be followed in this course,” the policy begins, followed by a bullet point instructing students to “Use inclusive language.” The policy mandates that students “[s]peak in a way that does not make assumptions about others based on “norms”, stereotypes, or one’s own identity or experience.”

"The syllabus explains that this means replacing the words “boyfriend”/”girlfriend” with the more inclusive “partner” or “significant other.” The rule applies to conversations about married couples too: saying “husband” or “wife” is forbidden. Even the words “mom” and “dad” have a more “inclusive” alternative — students are told to use the word ‘family” instead."   Oh boy.
