New York Times Dissects the Clinton’s World of Money, Ambition, and Politics

The NY Times article being discussed below:
Unease at Clinton Foundation Over Finances and Ambitions  "Soon after the 10th anniversary of the foundation bearing his name, Bill Clinton met with a small group of aides and two lawyers from Simpson Thacher and Bartlett. Two weeks of interviews with Clinton Foundation executives and former employees had led the lawyers to some unsettling conclusions."

The Left Turns on Hillary Clinton  I'm not too sure about this because this would have come out anyway eventually. By revealing all this so far ahead of the 2016 election, the story will have peaked in time to be called "old news" when it really counts. Perhaps the Times did Clinton a favor.
"In the first sign that Hillary Clinton’s march to the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination is no cinch, the New York Times has done the unthinkable – take a close look at the Clinton family’s complex world of money, ambition, and politics."

Once upon a time, a man started a foundation to promote himself and....
"The Clinton Foundation found itself on the front page of The New York Times. I just don't think that too many "Clinton-istas" expected an article like this:"....
....
"I always thought that this foundation was a gigantic ego-trip and this article confirms it.  It was a way for President Clinton to spend his retirement as the central figure on the world stage." 

Will claims about her foundation's financial problems hurt Hillary's presidential hopes?   "A scathing article in The New York Times tells how the 'rotating board of old Clinton hands' posed problems for the financial future of the charity because they moved in and out of the chain of command fluidly and made connections to their for-profit business that caused poorly defined divisions."

From James Taranto in the Wall Street Journal: Queen Hillary? Political rent-seeking and her expected coronation.   "But what intrigues us is the way in which laws restricting political speech--in the areas of both campaign finance and taxation--are vital to, as Firestone puts it, "Ms. Clinton's political future.' " In other words, beware her crocodile tears and righteous anger over voter I.D.

Hillary's race card

By Rich Lowry at Politico

"Anyone who doubts that Hillary Clinton is already in fine fighting trim for a presidential run should consider her speech this week to the American Bar Association in San Francisco.
"She assailed an alleged “assault on voting rights.” She took aim at the Supreme Court’s recent decision striking down a portion of the Voting Rights Act and excoriated states that have recently tightened their voting laws. She declared that “anyone who says that racial discrimination is no longer a problem in American elections must not be paying attention.' ”

 

....
"Perspective and reason are the natural enemies of a politics of hysteria. So Hillary won’t let herself be deterred by them. She is evidently fired up and ready to go." More

On this Democrat presidency

Obama Totally 100% Not a Crook  "President Obama’s increasingly grandiose claims for presidential power are inversely proportional to his shriveling presidency. Desperation fuels arrogance as, barely 200 days into the 1,462 days of his second term, his pantry of excuses for failure is bare, his domestic agenda is nonexistent and his foreign policy of empty rhetorical deadlines and red lines is floundering."

The 'Great Divider' likes political speech only when it likes him  "Obama came of age in the Chicago school of politics in which using official agencies to bully the opposition is a commonplace. So it will hardly be a surprise if and when concrete evidence turns up of White House involvement in the IRS targeting scandal. After all, Democrats like Obama and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have been attacking freedom in the economic realm for decades, so going after political speech likely comes just as easily for them."

The Great Divider  "As president, Obama has not only discarded this core commitment; he has turned it on its head. Republicans aren’t simply people with whom he has philosophical disagreements; they are members of the “Flat Earth Society” and have embraced a budget that demonstrates their “Social Darwinism.”....

Liberal Reaction to the Missouri Rodeo Clown is Akin to the Radical Muslim Response to a Mohammed Cartoon

Voltaire: "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

Rush Limbaugh   ...."This is no different than those countries reacting freakishly when there were cartoons of the prophet Mohammed.  That is exactly what this is.  It is as though President Obama is a messiah or is a god and this little thing that happened at the Missouri State Fair is a defamation, a denunciation, almost a religious sacrilege that took place."

....  "If I were Obama, you know, I'd be bigger than this.  I would pardon the clown, and I would turn it around, and if you want to make it look like something silly and ridiculous and childish, Obama could do that, put this thing in its place, and humiliate everybody involved and be done with it and make it a positive event, instead of the way this is all happening."

In our unheroic age, victimhood has replaced valiant struggle.

Victor Davis Hanson  "In the globally connected and affluent world of the 21st century, we thankfully have evolved a long way from the elemental poverty, hunger, and ethnic, religious, and racial hatred that were mostly the norm of the world until the last century.

"Yet who would know of such progress — and the great sacrifices made to achieve it — from the howls of our postmodern oppressed? In fact, the better life has become, the more victimized modern affluent Westerners seem to act."

"Since Barack Obama took office in 2009, 15 million Americans have been added to the food-stamp rolls — on top of the over 14 million who were added during President Bush’s eight years in office. Recipients now include almost one in six Americans. Yet apparently to suggest that this vast increase in subsidies is a result of vast relaxation in standards, or that the increase does not mean that another 15 million Americans were suddenly in elemental need, is, in the words of former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, tantamount to “taking food out of the mouths of babies.” "

Pelosi Pushes To Make California A Sanctuary State For Illegal Immigrants…

Weasel Zippers  The final death blow for California?

 

 

Twenty-eight of California’s congressional representatives are throwing their weight behind state legislation that would make it harder to deport immigrants who are in the country illegally.

The representatives — all Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco — sent a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown urging him to sign the bill if it reaches his desk.

The bill, known as the Trust Act, “establishes a bright line standard between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement” and would “continue California’s proud tradition of being a leader on smart and sensible policies,” the letter says.

Racism Card Looking a Little Dog-Eared

Townhall...."It was mostly black lives that were saved by Giuliani's crime
policies. By the end of his administration, the Rev. Calvin Butts, liberal pastor of Harlem's Abyssinian Baptist Church, was comparing Giuliani to King Josiah of the Bible, who "brought order, peace, the law back to the land." The black minister told The New York Times, "I really think that without Giuliani, we would have been overrun."

"About the same time as the Rev. Butts was comparing Giuliani to King Josiah, Richard Goldstein of The Village Voice claimed he felt less safe in New York under Giuliani. It was the ravings of a madman, like saying winter is warmer than summer. But now, Goldstein's ideas are being delivered from the federal bench by Judge Shira Scheindlin, who recently held New York City's stop-and-frisk policies unconstitutional."

Hollywood Protests Russian Anti-Gay Laws but Is Silent About Persecution in Muslim Countries
"The reason Hollywood leftists don’t protest against the cliterectomies (Pictured at right), the lashings, the honor killings, and the executions is that in Arab countries, these are “cultural” issues. And given the cultural relativism to which most liberals subscribe, protesting Muslim treatment of gays, women, and Christians would be like saying that their culture is inferior — even savage and backwards.?
