The progress of the pilgrim called Hillary.

Video: Hillary delete it   "Can Hillary successfully stonewall, and lie her way out of what she's done? She's doing her best to make the unthinkable happen: another Clinton occupying the Oval Office."

"This is about as plausible as “the dog ate my homework' ”.  "This is about as plausible as “the dog ate my homework”. She claimed she didn’t know that the “c” meant “confidential”, that nobody told her that she should retain work emails as they are part of the public record. Further in the article, she throws her staff under the bus, in effect claiming that underlings and minions told the dog to eat her homework.

"That’s some Grade A leadership there, right? Makes you wanna sign right up for that outfit, no?

"Further, I have an Ivy League lawyer, wife of a former governor and president, who lived in the White House for eight damned years, then went on to be a senator and Secretary of State telling me she didn’t know about classified email and that work-related documents needed to be saved as part of the public record?" . . .

She and hubby Bill are apparently made from the same mold. Back during the Lewinsky scandal I saw talking heads on the news discuss Bill's denial of having sex with Monica Lewinsky. One said he had been married for years and had several kids, but after listening to Bill Clinton describe his relationship with Lewinsky, he said "I'm not sure I ever had sex with my wife".

Nor did Hillary ever conduct business on behalf of the US State Department it would seem.  TD

Thomas Lifson; FBI holiday weekend document drop is devastating to Hillary  "The decision to wait for late Friday on Labor Day weekend to release the FBI’s investigation notes of Hillary Clinton’s email practices offers further evidence of the politicization of the agency.  As the United States slides into a banana republic, we now know that a political thumb is on the scale at the two most feared federal agencies: the IRS and the FBI.

"Still, one can understand why the Hillary faction wanted to obscure the documents, for they contain toxic revelations that disqualify Hillary Clinton from the presidency." . . .

"In a sure sign of how devastating this issue is, a female Democrat senator has already played the sexism card.  Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) took to MSNBC:" . . .

"There is actually a lot more, and we will have time to sort it out.  But perhaps the most damning of the damning evidence that the FBI has been compromised is the entirely improper presence of Hillary’s consigliere Cheryl Mills at the interview." . . .

Trump and Hillary where the rubber hits their respective roads

"Trump Walks Through Detroit Community; Liberals Heads Will Explode With Racism"

Donald Trump To Black Congregation: “You’re God’s Greatest Gift to Our Nation”  "Donald Trump spoke at the Great Faith Ministries Church in Detroit on Saturday and called for a civil rights movement for our time. When he concluded his speech, he received a standing ovation.

"At the beginning and as Donald Trump left the church, about 100 angry protesters tried to break in, condemning the pastor of the church for hosting Donald Trump who they called a racist. There was not much of a protest beyond that. Inside the church, he was well-received.

"Mr. Trump told those assembled that a lot of people don’t realize Abraham Lincoln was a Republican as he grabbed the mantle of Lincoln for the party, telling them “You’re are God’s greatest gift to our nation”.

That’s a beautiful sentiment."

. . . 

"CNN interviewed some who said they found him “honest and transparent”. Another said it was “not in any way offensive” and “it was great”. Still another said he probably didn’t change minds but he was more “relatable”. Some described him as “humble.”

“ 'We’ll see about what he says, the actions that he takes,” one parishioner said. “Not just for people of color, but all people.” . . .

Trump speaks in a black church in Detroit and Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild makes a "nice night" for Hillary Clinton on the lawn of her Martha’s Vineyard estate.

Clinton Spends Most of Her Time with the Ultra-Wealthy  "New York Times: “Mr. Trump has pointed to Mrs. Clinton’s noticeably scant schedule of campaign events this summer to suggest she has been hiding from the public. But Mrs. Clinton has been more than accessible to those who reside in some of the country’s most moneyed enclaves and are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to see her.  In the last two weeks of August, Mrs. Clinton raked in roughly $50 million at 22 fund-raising events, averaging around $150,000 an hour, according to a New York Times tally.”

Democrats Leaked Memo: Don’t Talk About Black On Black Crime!

. . . "Looks like the Democratic Party got their hands caught in the cookie jar again with a recently leaked memo that details how they wanted to deal with black voters, including the Black Lives Matter movement. I guess the only way to snuff out a problem is not talk about it, Democrats are good at that." . . .

"The old rural plantations were run by Democrats, and the new urban plantations are run by Democrats. Now it’s time for it to come to an end!"

Hillary’s Infamous Pantsuits Are Made in China and Bangladesh

For example, this joke from David Letterman: "Hillary is dressing sexier and sexier. Yesterday she was seen shopping at Victoria's Pantsuit." 

Fresh News USA

"Wednesday, Hillary Clinton told a large crowd that Donald Trump’s ties were not made in America.

"From The Hill:

"On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton stood in front of a clothing display at American-made Knotty Ties in Colorado. The image was to portray the message that Trump ties can be made in America.

“ 'So, why does Donald Trump make his ties in China?” Clinton asked. She failed to mention that this company, Knotty Ties, predominantly hires Muslim refugees, which effectively steals all those so-called jobs from Americans.

"Don’t you find it hypocritical that Clinton stands in front of a Colorado tie company (full of refugee non-American workers) to point out that Donald Trump makes his ties in China and suits in Mexico.

"While she wears clothing from designers who manufacture most of theirs in China, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka? There was plenty of conversation surrounding the white pantsuit Clinton wore at the Democrat national convention while accepting the nomination.

"We’re told it was a Ralph Lauren pantsuit. She’s also known to wear Armani pantsuits at her speeches. Ralph Lauren and Armani assemble many of their products in Bangladesh.{

"But his ignorance and stupidity is just starting. Kaepernick is upset because a handful of black men have been shot by police. Meanwhile there are thousands of black Americans shot each year on the streets of Chicago." Wayne Allen Root 

MORE KAEPERNICK FALLOUT AS POLICE UNION THREATENS TO BOYCOTT 49ERS GAMES

". . .  The police union letter isn’t about his refusal to stand for the national anthem but rather his pig socks and anti-cop statements. It would also seem to indicate that Kaepernick won’t be among the roster cuts to be announced on Saturday. Ironically, the overpaid Prima Donna may have saved his job by becoming a hero to liberals and blacktivists who would turn his being jettisoned into nothing short of a crucifixion. There is already a new hashtag #KapSoBlack although not one as of yet that is more honest like #BlackMillionairesMatter.

"One thing is for sure and that is by not acting, the 49ers organization is effectively rewarding Kaepernick and in doing so will spread the seeds of black militance to locker rooms throughout the NFL."

Colin Kaepernick – the Dumbing Down of America  . . . "The kid is young, dumb and filled with…ignorance. He is a tragic example of the liberal biased, hateful “blame America first” propaganda taught to America’s young people at schools and universities." . . .

Kaepernicking the NFL  . . . "To be sure, the NFL brought this upon itself by wading into the quagmire of radical social issues with thoughtless pandering to racists (remember Super Bowl halftime?), feminists, gender extremists, and other assorted crazies.  By so doing, it created the opportunity for Kaepernick but also set itself on a glide path to irrelevancy, as sponsors have undoubtedly taken horrified notice." . . .

I Just Want to Enjoy Watching the Game  "Nobody watches sports because they want to raise their level of “social awareness.” Nobody tunes in to Monday Night Consciousness-Raising. Most sports fans are perfectly aware of the world’s problems. They are much more likely to encounter those problems in their daily lives than any of the well-paid, famous players on the field. I can’t speak for all of them, but I think their mentality isn’t too far from mine." . . .

California bans painting of Civil War battle from County Fair art show, because painting includes Confederate battle flag

Plus the painting is pretty bad.
Volokh Conspiracy

"California Government Code § 8195 provides that “The State of California may not sell or display the Battle Flag of the Confederacy, also referred to as the Stars and Bars, or any similar image, or tangible personal property, inscribed with such an image unless the image appears in a book, digital medium, or state museum that serves an educational or historical purpose.” Read narrowly, this would be constitutional: The California Legislature is generally free to decide what speech the state engages in.

"But it looks as though the state is now reading this as prohibiting even the display of private citizens’ paintings in venues such as County Fair art shows, and even in a context where basically all other submissions are displayed (so that the government isn’t just selecting a few paintings for display because it thinks they are the best). A lawsuit filed by the Center for Individual Rights argues that this violates the First Amendment:" . . .

Donald Trump catches up with Hillary Clinton in latest polls that show 'virtual tie'

Independent
Clinton lost an eight-point lead over the past week, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll

. .  . "The poll found that 40 per cent of likely voters support Mr Trump, while 39 per cent back Ms Clinton for the week of 26 August through 1 September. Ms Clinton’s lead has declined from an eight-point lead, according to Reuters. 

"Mr Trump’s favour among Republicans has also bounced six percentage points to 78 per cent over the past two weeks, despite controversial staff shake ups and his seemingly wavering stance on immigration. In a major policy speech on Wednesday, Mr Trump seemed to win back enthusiasm as he vowed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants during his “first hour” as president." . . . 

. . . "The Friday poll comes amid news that the FBI released details of Ms Clinton’s interview with investigators regarding emails kept on her private servers – an issue that has plagued the Clinton campaign from the onset."

Trump backer praises him for telling black Republicans that Democrats are playing 'plantation' politics as he reaches out for inner-city support

Daily Mail  "Donald Trump told an African-American roundtable meeting on Friday that the Democratic Party is playing 'plantation' politics with blacks in America, according to one of the participants who gave him an atta-boy afterward.

"Daphne Goggins, a Republican leader of Philadelphia's poverty-ridden 16th Ward, recalled Trump's potentially explosive comment after the mid-afternoon downtown event.

" 'What you're saying about the Democratic plan – that plantation that they want black people on? It's the truth. I will say it again,' Goggins told Trump shortly after a group of journalists were allowed in the room for a few minutes.

"A print pool reporter from DailyMail.com noted the comment, which seemed to refer to remarks Trump had made earlier behind closed doors." . . .

. . . But Goggins ended the day – and began it – as a Trump booster.

"She thanked the Republican presidential nominee for coming as the meeting got underway, and wept openly as she spoke.

" 'For the first time in my life I feel like my vote is going to count,' Goggins said through tears.

"Trump lags far behind Democrat Hillary Clinton with black voters, scoring no higher than 15 per cent – and as low as 1 per cent – in national polls that break down participation by race.

"Mitt Romney had the support of just 6 per cent of blacks in the 2012 election, which President Barack Obama, America's first black leader, won easily.

"But Trump is making an appeal for a 180-degree turnaround."

. . . "Conservatives see the GOP as the party of Abraham Lincoln, and regard Democrats as an opportunistic party that take blacks for granted while it delivers negligible results for the poorest among them.

"Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza's documentary 'Hillary's America' makes the argument that crumbling inner cities are the new slave plantations, with impoverished black families dependent on a Democratic Party that uses them as power-pawns and trickles out government benefits to keep them in their place.

Krauthammer: The only immigration solution

The ultimate national consensus, however, lies one step farther down the road. Why leave legalization for some future discussion? Get it done. Once the river of illegal immigration has been demonstrably and securely reduced to a trickle, the country will readily exercise its natural magnanimity and legalize.

Charles Krauthammer

. . . "You can rail for a year about the squishy soft, weak-kneed and stupid politicians who have opened our borders to the wretched refuse of Mexico. You can promise to round them up — the refuse, that is, not the politicians (they’re next) — and deport them. And that may win you a plurality of Republican primary votes.

"But eventually you have to let it go. For all his incendiary language and clanging contradictions, Trump did exactly that in Phoenix on Wednesday. His “deportation task force” will be hunting . . . criminal aliens. Isn’t that the enforcement priority of President Obama, heretofore excoriated as the ultimate immigration patsy?

"And what happens to the noncriminal illegal immigrants? On that, Trump punted. Their “appropriate disposition” will be considered “in several years when we have . . . ended illegal immigration for good.” Everyone knows what that means: One way or another, they will be allowed to stay." . . .

Hitler's 3-mile-long abandoned Nazi resort is transforming into a luxury getaway

Business Insider   "Three years before Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Adolf Hitler ordered the construction of the world's largest tourist resort, located on a beachfront property on the island of Rügen.

The Nazis called it Prora.

"Capable of holding more than 20,000 residents at a single time, Prora was meant to comfort the weary German worker who toiled away in a factory without respite.

"According to historian and tour guide Roger Moorhouse, it was also meant to serve as the carrot to the stick of the Gestapo — a pacifying gesture to get the German people on Hitler's side.

"But then World War II began, and Prora's construction stalled — until now. " . . .

What began as drab Nazi socialist architecture here:

Became a capitalist renewal:

And The Moderators For The 2016 Presidential Debates Are…

Joe Cunningham   . . . "Yesterday, it was announced that Matt Lauer would moderate a joint candidate forum next week, setting off criticisms that there is virtually no way any Republican (much less Trump) could get a fair deal out of the debates. Today, we've learned the names of the moderators of the debates themselves.

This year's three presidential debates will be moderated by NBC's Lester Holt, CNN's Anderson Cooper and ABC's Martha Raddatz, and Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace.

The vice presidential debate moderator is Elaine Quijana of CBS News.

Holt, the anchor of the NBC Nightly News, will lead the first debate, which is set to take place at Hofstra University on September 26.

Cooper and Raddatz will co-moderate the second debate, which will be a town-hall style event in St. Louis, Missouri.

. . . "Hillary will undoubtedly be in friendly territory for the first two debates, however, not as friendly as it once was. The media is also upset with her for refusing to give them access to her campaign." . . .

In the 2012 debate, Martha Raddatz Was Horrible.

Remember Biden's repulsive, demeaning manner toward Paul Ryan?

While her friends and colleagues in the media rally around her, let the record state she was, in reality, atrocious. But she had to feel right at home in the war zone that was Joe Biden's flashing teeth.

 

". . .she spent the rest of the debate pressing Ryan on point after point without demanding the same specificity of Biden. She would let Biden run, allowing him to interrupt at whim, while interrupting Ryan to shift topics even within subject areas. "

What Women Voters Need to Know About Hillary and Huma Abedin

President Obama has already taken the unique and bizarre viewpoint that schools should allow boys and girls to decide what gender they are, and that boys and men should be allowed to use women’s’ bathrooms.  Obama is catering to a tiny group of people and politicizes the idea that their sexual preferences are more important than the concerns of mothers for the safety of their sons and daughters.

Michael Bargo, Jr.  "A few days ago it was revealed that Anthony D. Weiner of New York was sexting a woman on Twitter.  In 2011 he had to resign from Congress after it was proven that he was sending lewd photos of himself to women on the internet.  This creepy behavior has another, deeper, more disturbing layer:  Weiner is married to Huma Abedin who is Hillary Clinton’s closest aide.

"Women voters need to think about this; that both Hillary and Huma Abedin are married to men who aggressively seek out anonymous women.   Both of their husbands are sexual predators; and what is more disturbing is that both of these women know their husbands are sexual predators and did not divorce them, did not distance themselves from them, did not aggressively condemn their behavior."

. . . 

No one expected Obama to make the announcement that gender identity is a matter of personal choice and that public schools will be forced to make bathroom changes.  Young boys and girls spend their entire day in public schools.  Women voters, knowing that Hillary doesn’t care about sexual predation and workplace sexual harassment, should stop and realize what values Hillary will bring to the public school system, and if they want their daughters and sons to hear them.  Once Hillary issues an edict her message, like Obama’s, will be forced upon students in every public school in the nation.  By then, parents will have no choice.  Their only opportunity to make a choice is in November.  They know what Hillary’s marriage values are, and what changes Obama has forced on schools.  And as Obama’s trend has shown, things will only get worse. 

This is not my father's Democrat Party.
