Joe Biden kneecaps Hillary

comicallyincorrect.

"Hillary Clinton was revealed in her e-mails on Friday to have circumvented classification rules when she e-mailed secret material while Secretary of State. It’s alarming. If Hillary’s indicted before the election, it could end the Clinton dream of being America’s first two-impeachment family."  Comedian Argus Hamilton

Biden Kneecaps Hillary as the Dem Establishment Gets Nervous

. . . “ 'It’s relatively new for Hillary to talk about that,” he said. “Hillary’s focus has been on other things up to now, and that’s been Bernie’s — nobody questions Bernie’s authenticity on those issues. . . . I think they question everybody’s who hasn’t been talking about it all along, but I think she’s come forward with some really thoughtful approaches to deal with the issue.” 

"You don’t say this sort of thing if you’re enthusiastic about Clinton being the Democratic nominee in 2016. Either the vice president wants to ensure that Sanders gets a fair shot at the nomination, or he’s itching to reverse his own decision not to run in 2016. (He has recently hinted at the latter possibility.)" . . .Read more

The State of Obama's Union (Updated)

Existential Threats and the State of the Union Address

"Gearing up for the State of the Union lecture he is preparing to treat us to this year, President Obama wanted to put a positive spin on the results of his many years in the Oval Office.

"It is a chilling testament to his myriad of failures as Commander-in-Chief that one positive he reaches for, amid his many delusions, is that the Americans are not facing “existential threats”.

. . . 

"I am not comforted. Recall that he asserted there was no threat the the homeland from Islamic terrorists shortly before the San Bernardino terror attack occurred.

"The recent seizure of our Navy ships is an indication that his dreams of a peace deal with Iran are tuning into a nightmarish reality for the next administration to handle.

"Obama’s signature achievement, Obamacare, is slowly collapsing under the weight of its complexities and costs. Just ahead of the State of the Union, Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is going forward with plans to close down the state-run Obamacare insurance marketplace.

"Two of tonight’s audience members are not fans of Obamacare, either:

Then there are Obama's plans for after his presidency

…Mr. Netanyahu recently is said to have gotten wind of Obama’s plans which he calls the Obama Project. “Wasn’t eight years of having Obama in office enough?”

Congressman Fumes: 'Narcissist' Obama Should Have Invited Kate Steinle's Family to SOTU

. . . "The president, he surmised, seems more apt to address climate change.

“ 'I have never been more afraid for my children’s future.”

"Along with Obama’s designated empty seat are a lot of empty promises.

“I don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth,” Marino fumed. “He’s in this for himself. He is a narcissist.”

"Which uninvited guests, we wondered, should have been granted seats at tonight’s speech? Without hesitating, Marino said the family of Kate Steinle, the young woman who was tragically killed by an illegal immigrant in the sanctuary city of San Francisco last summer." . . .

Will Obama show any tears at the State of the Union?  . . . "So pardon me if I don’t get choked up when he sheds a fake or real tear when he is pushing a political agenda.

"The president says he wants commonsense laws to save even one life.  Here are a couple easy suggestions:

"Maybe the Justice Department and states should actually enforce existing laws instead of always wanting more laws.  That would be common sense, but the Democrats and Obama won't suggest that.  They should keep criminal gang members off the streets.  They obviously know where they are.

"Maybe Obama and all the liberal governors and mayors should actually enforce existing immigration laws instead of supporting sanctuary cities and suing states that want to enforce the laws."

LYNDON B. OBAMA:   “When it comes to offering progress reports on his war against ISIS, Barack Obama is beginning to sound like a previous wartime Democratic president. It is not a flattering comparison,” Richard Benedetto recently noted at Real Clear Politics:

Over the past few weeks, Obama has issued several upbeat statements crafted to assure an uneasy American people that the fight against terror is going well, only to have the facts come back and bite him.
He is starting to develop a “credibility gap,” faced by Lyndon Baines Johnson during the Vietnam War. LBJ and his commanders kept telling the nation that the war was going well when it really was not.

. . .  "No word yet if the US sailors detained in Iran will be flashing “the Hawaiian good luck sign” at their captors, but it would certainly have double meaning this time around."

Iran promises to release detained U.S. sailors

Politico

. . . ""Iran seized 10 sailors aboard two small Navy ships that drifted into Iranian waters in the Persian Gulf after experiencing mechanical problems. The Pentagon said it lost communication with the vessels but was informed that Iran would soon return the sailors and ships.

Story Continued Below

“ 'Earlier today, we lost contact with two small U.S. naval craft en route from Kuwait to Bahrain,” a senior administration official said. “We subsequently have been in communication with Iranian authorities, who have informed us of the safety and well-being of our personnel. We have received assurances the sailors will promptly be allowed to continue their journey.”

"White House press secretary Josh Earnest confirmed that U.S. officials have been in touch with Iran and are monitoring the situation closely." . . .

Well, Iran does owe Obama a big favor, you know:
Report: Obama Ordered the CIA Not to Support Green Movement in Iran in 2009

. . . "The most widely known victim of the regime's brutality was innocent onlooker Neda Agha-Soltan, who was shot dead in the street during one of the massive protests. Her last moments were caught on a video that went viral around the world. The president's famous response? He went out for ice cream.

"Obama was handed a unique opportunity in history to be the sort of inspirational and transformative figure Ronald Reagan was for Eastern Europe before the Berlin Wall fell. All he had to do was say and do the right things to denounce the illegitimate Iranian government and stand with the people in the street.

"But he didn't. "

"At Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer couldn't help but notice that of the many demonstrations and revolts that have swept the Muslim world during Obama's presidency, he has only supported the Muslim Brotherhood-backed, Islamic-supremacist ones."

Black Lives Matter Revolutionary Leader Invited to SOTU

Why didn't we just elect Al Sharpton or Louis Farrakhan as president in 2008? What would have been different? 

Independent Sentinel

"In the President Obama’s final State of the Union, “you’ll hear the president talk about making sure that every American has a chance to influence this democracy. Not the select few, not the millionaires and the billionaires, but every American.” White House Chief of Staff Bill McDonough said Sunday.

"That’s why it’s so appropriate that Barbara Lee invited Black Lives Matter to the State of the Union. What better way to showcase what he’s done and who he wants influencing our democracy?

"Leftist Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) has invited Alicia Garza to attend the State of the Union. Garza is the revolutionary co-founder of the radical and violent hate group, Black Lives Matter. The group was founded on the now fully debunked, Hands Up, Don’t Shoot.

"They have confirmed via Twitter.

"Black Lives Matter travels around to political events to disrupt speeches and bully politicians, they show up in restaurants to ruin peoples’ dining experiences, they’ve disrupted military award ceremonies, but mostly they foment trouble in places like Ferguson and Baltimore. Their main goal is to stoke black rage against whites and against police.

"Three militant feminists co-founded the organization: Parisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, an open borders leftist, and Opel Tometi." . . .

How sad that the American voters put these elected officials in place. A nation gets the government it deserves.

Vetting Hillary as we failed to do with Obama. Did she sell US secrets? Updated

Email Scandal, Bill's 'Bimbos': '16 Starts Bad For Hillary — Will It End Worse?    . . . "Some are saying this is the smoking gun showing that Clinton broke the law by mishandling classified information.

"But of course, it's not an isolated instance of poor decision-making on her part. So far, we know she's sent at least 1,340 emails that held classified material via her personal, non-secure email.  . . . Fox News is reporting that the FBI probe into her email "has expanded to look at whether the possible 'intersection' of Clinton Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public corruption laws."

"Emails aren't her only problem, though. Husband Bill and his 1990s popularity were supposed to be a formidable asset for her campaign. Instead, he's become a millstone around her neck. She's running as a feminist, but his reputation as a womanizer has become an issue." . . .  Full article

Emails reveal Hillary vetted plans to undermine Israel with covert ops    . . . "The second email dated September 24, 2010 comes from Anne-Marie Slaughter, who was Hillary’s Director of Policy Planning at the State Department, and was sent staff-wide to Hillary’s inner circle.  In it, she recommended mobilizing Hillary’s millionaire and billionaire friends to take a “pledge for Palestine” and devote significant portions of their wealth to the Palestinian cause:" . . .

Hillary Clinton believes that 'white terrorism' and 'police violence' are as much a threat as ISIS  "Hillary Clinton took part in the "Brown and Black" candidate forum in Iowa yesterday and laid the pandering on thick to her minority audience.

"She agreed with the moderator who asked her if "white terrorisms and extremism is as much a threat to some in this country as something like ISIS?”

"Her rambling answer starts about 1:20 into the video."

And last - for now - but by no means least:

The real email question: Did Hillary Clinton sell US secrets?  "While the media is focusing your attention on the shiny object that is her email server, the real story is not being told. The circumstantial evidence indicates that Hillary Clinton, or members of her inner circle with her connivance, purloined highly classified US intelligence and either sold it, traded it, or used it for personal gain. This is not a conspiracy theory and it is not hyperbole. Stick with me for a moment."

Don't Cry for Me, Syria

PJ Media

"At the announcement of his meaningless executive orders on gun control Wednesday, the president appeared to get emotional, tears welling in his eyes at the thought of innocent children being wounded and killed. It seemed out of character for the supposedly “No Drama Obama,” and some questioned his sincerity, provoking the usual outrage from the left."

People who say Obama fake-cried are essentially accusing him of being as indifferent to mass killings as they are. #StopGunViolence

"Note the false premise in that tweet, and (as usual) inability of leftists to grant any sort of good faith to their political opponents. As it happens, it is, in fact, possible to both be horrified at mass killings, and still disagree about the proposed solutions to them."

. . . 

"For instance, I don’t recall reports of him shedding any tears when, after he declared a “red line” over Syria’s use of chemical and biological weapons, Bashir Assad gassed children to death with chlorine, but perhaps I missed it.

"Did he get all weepy when children were being literally crucified by ISIS for not properly fasting during Ramadan? If so, it went unreported.

"In fact, a Google search of “Obama tears” reveals no other reported instances of presidential lachrymosity. It’s all about Sandy Hook." . . .

"Obama talks tough or at least talks about the concept of being tough. But not with terrorists or ISIS. Just the other day President Obama mocked the idea of bellicose speech when it comes to those bad guys. No, only one set of bad guys elicits strong emotions from Obama: his critics. And among them, most especially Republican ones. Because the only real enemy he’s aware of are enemies of his precious legacy."

Lloyd Marcus asks, At What Point Do Obama Loyalists Begin Asking 'Why'?  Just an excerpt from this lengthy, thought-provoking article:  . . .

David French at NRO  . . . "Oh, and like many football players and coaches, Dabo Swinney is a devout and outspoken Christian. In 2014 — before he’d established himself as one of college football’s elite coaches — his faith landed him in the crosshairs of one of America’s most malicious anti-religious organizations, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF)." . . .

. . .
"Specifically, the FFRF claimed that Swinney had invited a man named James Trapp to become a team chaplain and gave him access to the team for Bible studies. They also claimed that Swinney scheduled team devotionals and “organized transportation for coaches and players to ‘Church Days.’” "
. . .
"But Swinney held firm, and his university backed him. Swinney’s statement was a model of polite conviction. First, he outlined the three simple rules that every player must follow: “(1) Players must go to class, (2) they must give a good effort, and (3) they must be good citizens.” Next, he noted that he’s recruited players “of many faiths.” Then, he made the crucial point:" . . .

"Football has enormous cultural power, and it’s thus no surprise that some on the left are trying to drive God off the gridiron. Two years ago, they took aim at a young coach on the rise.

Clinton Considered Secret Plan to Spark Palestinian Protests

Washington Free Beacon

"Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton considered a secret plan created by her then-advisers to foment unrest among Palestinian citizens and spark protests in order to push the Israeli government back to the negotiating table, according to emails released as part of the investigation into the Democratic presidential frontrunner’s private email server.

"In a Dec, 18, 2011, email, former U.S. ambassador to Israel Thomas Pickering suggested that Clinton consider a plan to restart then-stalled peace negotiations by kickstarting Palestinian demonstrations against Israel.

"Pickering described the effort as a potential “game changer in the region,” recommending that the United States undertake a clandestine campaign to generate unrest. Clinton requested that his email be printed." . . .

The Busybody Left

Thomas Sowell

"The political left has been trying to run other people's lives for centuries. So we should not be surprised to see the Obama administration now trying to force neighborhoods across America to have the mix of people the government wants them to have.

"There are not enough poor people living in middle class neighborhoods to suit the political left. Not enough blacks in white neighborhoods. Not enough Hispanics here, not enough Asians there.

"Nowhere in the Constitution does it grant the federal government the power to dictate such things. But places that do not mix and match people the way Washington wants them to can lose all sorts of federal money they currently receive under numerous programs.

"Handing out vast amounts of the taxpayers' money is the way the federal government has expanded its power far beyond the powers granted by the Constitution -- thereby limiting the freedom of individuals, localities and states. Washington is essentially buying up our freedom with our own money, taken in taxes." . . .

Costly beliefs: State squeezes last penny from bakers who defied lesbian-wedding cake order

Todd Starnes

"Melissa Klein was checking her bank accounts just a few weeks before Christmas when her face turned ashen. The money was gone – every single penny.

"Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industries had confiscated all the cash in Mrs. Klein’s checking account and savings account as well as a special account set aside for their church tithe. 

"Yes, friends – the state of Oregon stole money meant for our Lord.

"Mrs. Klein and her husband, Aaron, are devout evangelical Christians who own a mom-and-pop bakery – Sweet Cakes By Melissa.

"In July, they were ordered to pay more than $135,000 in damages to a lesbian couple after they refused to bake their wedding cake. The Kleins objected because of their religious beliefs.

"The judgment was awarded to the lesbians for “emotional suffering.' ” . . .

Chesler

. . . "Some media, including feminist media, refused to name the perpetrators as being of Arab or North African descent or as “Muslims.”  They do not wish to be demonized as “racists” or “Islamophobes” but there is also a legitimate feminist reason.

"European men rape European women every single day.  Gang-rape often characterize rapes perpetrated by young men in the West. But make no mistake:  the pattern of sexual harassment and rape in the Muslim world in general  is vastly different. Muslims in Sudan and Nigeria have perpetrated similar horrific attacks upon Christian, animist, and Muslim women. Similar atrocities took place in the former Yugoslavia, perpetrated by both Serb and Croat Christians and Muslims. Nevertheless, in an Islamist era, such Muslim-perpetrated attacks have assumed monstrous proportions.

"Recall the roving gangs in Egypt in Tahrir Square in 2011, the mass groping and the assault of blonde American journalist Lara Logan. Realize that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Egyptian Muslim and Christian women were also groped and sexually assaulted, whether or not they were wearing headscarves or face masks." . . .

Some of the commentary out there on Hillary

FBI's Clinton probe expands to public corruption track

. . . "Inside the FBI, pressure is growing to pursue the case. 

"One intelligence source told Fox News that FBI agents would be “screaming” if a prosecution is not pursued because “many previous public corruption cases have been made and successfully prosecuted with much less evidence than what is emerging in this investigation.” 

"The FBI is particularly on edge in the wake of how the case of former CIA Director David Petraeus was handled. " . . . 

Clinton supporters would vote for Hillary no matter what   "A former federal prosecutor recently made headlines with his prediction that Hillary Clinton will be indicted soon for trafficking in classified information on a private e-mail server while working as secretary of State. But should a criminal indictment put Clinton’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination on hold? Just over half of Democrats say no." . . .

In recent poll, all leading Republicans beat or tie Hillary . . ."As usual in national polls, Trump is doing worse against Hillary than the other two, but I believe this is the first time he’s ever led Hillary, so that’s a change for the better for Trump."

Storm Clouds Form: Bob Woodward Compares Hillary Scandal to Watergate  . . . "Among the security breaches: Clinton forwarded the name of a confidential CIA source to staff at State through her insecure server.

40-something Hillary Clinton should worry Democrats
"The latest FOX poll is bad news for Mrs Clinton:  

She loses to Senator Rubio (50-41%),
Senator Cruz is up 7 (50-43%),
she ties Bush (44-44%),
Trump leads (47-44%),
and Christie leads (47-44%).    

"Dr. Carson is the only candidate she defeats, according to this poll.

"It takes more than one poll to persuade me one way or another.  However, there is a trend in the polls that should scare Democrats: Hillary is 40-something time after time." . . .

A few days ago, I joked with a Democrat friend that it may be time for Hillary Clinton to be indicted.  His response was interesting.  He said that it'd be a quick way to get rid of Hillary Clinton and open the door to fresh faces.

 Is Hillary Boring Democrats in Iowa?

There's no other way to say it: Hillary Clinton is very boring. The Democratic presidential frontrunner's campaign stops are, too. The members of her traveling press corps look like they'd rather be anywhere else. So do some of the attendees, who shift in their seats starting around minute 10. Even the campaign staffers pace the back of the room or tap inattentively on their iPhones as Clinton drones on about finding a cure for Alzheimer's and universal pre-kindergarten.
