A Shellacking in South Carolina: Clinton Is Inevitable

Daily Mail

Blooomberg via Drudge   "The Democratic calendar finally reached a good Hillary Clinton state on Saturday, and wow did she take advantage of it.

She was expected to win big. Nate Silver projected that if the national race was a tie between Clinton and Bernie Sanders, she would win in South Carolina by about 20 percentage points. Instead, she romped by far more – as I write this, she’s taking over 70 percent of the vote. 

"The bottom line is that Sanders still hasn’t found any way to appeal to black voters, who made up a large percentage of Democratic turnout. Without them no candidate can compete for a Democratic presidential nomination. The exit polls in South Carolina project Sanders lost the black vote by some 70 percentage points. That not only doomed him today, but also it dooms him in far too many states to have any serious chance of being nominated.

"We’re going to see the effects on Tuesday, where polls have Sanders getting crushed in Texas, Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia. " . . .

"Sanders hasn’t been a national leader during his long political career. He is one now. He has to decide what he will do with his new influence."

NRO: Clinton Annihilates Sanders in South Carolina as Blacks Break against Bernie  . . . "Sanders wasn’t even in the state when the vote was called. He left for Minnesota before the polls closed, refusing to give a concession speech in the state where he crumpled under Clinton’s weight." . . .

Huge black margin of support powered Hillary’s South Carolina primary win  "This is stunning: Hillary Clinton won a greater share of black votes in the South Carolina primary yesterday than Barack Obama did in 2008, running against Clinton.  Nobody else in the media wants to examine the reason why. Hillary demonstrated the power of racial bloc voting in the South Carolina primary yesterday, approaching a three to one margin over Bernie Sanders with 73.48% of the vote to his 25.97%."

UPDATE:  Video exclusive: Marine booted from Clinton rally pours his heart out after event in emotional interview

. . . "He praised the police officers who removed him and shared his contempt for the former secretary of state who had no regard for the lives of his brothers.

"The man, who identified himself only as a Marine Sergeant, explained to freelance travel journalist T.J. Champitto of  TheBlazingNomad.com why he was so animated when he asked former president Bill Clinton to answer for his wife’s incompetence.

“ 'Benghazi was a direct result of failed performance of Hillary Clinton,” the Marine who said he served for five years in an infantry unit and three years training recruits on Parris Island, told Champitto. “She failed to perform. Not only that but she lied about it and she tried to cover it up.

Watch the NEVER BEFORE SEEN Footage Of Marine And Companion Being Kicked Out.

Now back to the original post:

“Hillary lied over four coffins!” a woman in the crowd yelled out. “She lied and she lied to those families, so all those families are liars? I want to know. Did she lie?”

Western Journalism   "The man who as president parried questions about his affair with Monica Lewinsky with style and a smile was driven to distraction Friday when hecklers insisted his wife lied about the 2012 attacks on the American compound in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans died in the attacks.

"Former President Bill Clinton was leading a rally in Bluffton, S.C., Friday, when a man who said he was a veteran complained about the Veterans Administration. Then the subject changed." . . .

"The man said he had seen Gold Star families “who have mourned.” He then added, “We had four lives in Benghazi killed and your wife tried to cover it up.”

Trump, the EU crack-up and Israel

In the final analysis, Trump’s rise in America and the rise of the populists in Europe is yet another indication of the West’s growing identity crisis fueled by its economic, social, military and cultural weakness. Israel needs to read the writing on the wall and act appropriately lest we become a casualty of that identity crisis.

Israel the bully

Caroline Glick  "Trump is popular because he has a rare ability to channel the deep-seated frustrations that much of the American public harbors toward its political and cultural elites.

"Trump’s presidential bid isn’t based on specific, defined economic or foreign policy platforms or plans. Indeed, it isn’t clear that he even has any.

"Trump’s campaign is based on his capacity to resonate two deeply felt frustrations harbored by a large cross-section of American citizens.

"As The Wall Street Journal’s Daniel Henninger explained recently, a very large group of Americans is frustrated – or enraged – by the intellectual and social terror exercised upon them by the commissars of political correctness.

. . . 

"If Trump is elected president and if Britain leads the charge of nations out of the EU, then Israel can expect its relations with both the US and Europe to be marked by turbulence and uncertainty that can lead in a positive direction or a negative direction, or even to both directions at the same time.

 "Just as Trump has stated both that he will support Israel and be neutral toward Israel, so we can expect for Trump to stand by Israel one day and to rebuke it angrily, even brutally, the next day.

"So, too, under Trump, the US may send forces to confront Iran one day, only to announce that Trump is embarking on negotiations to get a sweetheart deal with the ayatollahs the next."

Weimar America

Victor Davis Hanson

. . . "No one can figure out how and why America’s youth have borrowed a collective $1 trillion for college tuition, and yet received so little education and skills in the bargain. Today’s campuses have become as foreign to American traditions of tolerance and free expression as what followed the Weimar Republic. To appreciate cry-bully censorship, visit a campus “free-speech” area. To witness segregation, walk into a college “safe space.” To hear unapologetic anti-Semitism, attend a university lecture. To learn of the absence of due process, read of a campus hearing on alleged sexual assault. To see a brown shirt in action, watch faculty call for muscle at a campus demonstration. To relearn the mentality of a Chamberlain or Daladier, listen to the contextualizations of a college president. And to talk to an uneducated person, approach a recent college graduate." . . .

Jonah Goldberg’s take on Trump’s alleged Christian martyrdom before the IRS

Bookworm Room   "One of my favorite things to read every Friday is The Goldberg File. . .  In today’s, he addresses Donald Trump’s claim that the IRS has been auditing him every year because he is a Christian martyr.  I can’t wait until tomorrow; you have to read it today, every word of it:"

I was only half listening when Donald Trump came into the spin room on CNN to explain why he’s been audited every year for twelve years.
“I’m always audited by the IRS, which I think is very unfair — I don’t know, maybe because of religion, maybe because of something else . . .

 

 "There are two possibilities here. Either Donald Trump believes what he said, or he doesn’t. If he does believe this, he’s sufficiently delusional to disqualify himself for public office. If he doesn’t believe this, he thinks his conservative Christian supporters are morons."
. . . 
"I know he now says that “nobody reads the Bible more than me.” But, again, I can’t imagine anyone actually believes him.
. . . 
"Apparently, according to Trump. . . The IRS is different. It’s like the eye of Sauron searching the land for “strong Christians.” When its cruel gaze landed upon the failed casino magnate, beauty-pageant impresario, thrice-married and confessed adulterer who’s talked about how his own daughter is so hot he’d date her if she wasn’t his daughter" . . . 

 I personally can’t wait to see the Trump Student Center and Hall of Greatness at Liberty University.) . . .

A Day in Auschwitz - Nazi Jewish Holocaust Amazing Documentary

A Day in Auschwitz
"A day in Auschwitz is an amazing documentary that takes us through a visit to the infamous concentration camp set up by Hitler's Nazis to take part in the jewish holocaust. 

"A tragic tale of violence and certainly the best documentary about Auschwitz and its horrors during wwii."

For armored warfare buffs: the Hetzer

Inside the Tanks: The Hetzer - World of Tanks  "We are back with the second episode of the Inside the Tanks, filmed at The Deutsches Panzermuseum, Munster.

"The Jagdpanzer 38(t), better known as Hetzer was a German light tank destroyer of the Second World War based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassi. The project was inspired by the Romanian "Mareşal" tank destroyer.

More on the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer  "It was first known as "Leichtes Sturmgeschutz 38(t)", then "Jagdpanzer 38(t) für 7.5cm Pak 39 L/48", and finally "Jagdpanzer 38 Hetzer". It appears that the name Hetzer was not an official name but used by troops and then used in post-war publications. "

Still hull-down after all these years.

Al Sharpton Might Flee America If Trump Wins…

Weasel Zippers

"Go, now." Via Washington Examiner:

Rev. Al Sharpton told attendees at a Center for American Progress Action Fund event Thursday he would flee the country if Donald Trump won the election, in order to avoid being deported by Trump.

Sharpton, a Democrat, had positive feedback for many of the Republican presidential candidates until he got to Trump.

“If Donald Trump is the nominee, I’m open to support anyone [else], while I’m also reserving my ticket to get out of here if he wins, only because he’d probably have me deported anyway,” Sharpton told attendees, who responded in laughter.

Sharpton, who has participated in various national protests condemning police brutality, did not explain why he thinks Trump would deport him, though both New Yorkers have publicly shared their differences of opinion on various issues.
