To what extent would the Clinton's ever cut ties with their foundation?

Too late! The Clinton's have many favors already bought and paid for by others through the foundation and have time to sell many more between now and her hoped-for inauguration.


WSJ: Some Democrats Tell Clinton to Cut Ties With Foundation

NYT: The Clintons Need To Cut Ties With The Foundation  "Well, when you lose The New York Times, maybe it’s a sign that the Clinton camp needs to work on something to quell the allegations that the power couple’s nonprofit is guilty of pay-to-play regarding donations, meetings with these donors, and good fortune being bestowed upon those contributors somewhere down the line after the checks have been made to be cashed. Huma Abedin, Clinton’s former deputy chief of staff at State, has been revealed to be the middle person who directed folks to the Clinton Foundation for meetings with the then-secretary (after being denied an audience through official channels) who were unable to be granted a face-to-face rendezvous. Oh, this was granted after a donation was made." . . .

The 49er quarterback discussion goes on . . .

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel

Comedian Argus Hamilton remarked: 
"San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem Friday, saying it stands for racism even though he himself was adopted and raised by white parents. He’s now in talks with Hollywood to make a movie about his childhood. It’s called Eighteen Years a Slave
The Minnesota Vikings new stadium has "a see-through roof and two gigantic jumbo screens. In addition it has a plush reclining chair on the sideline for Colin Kaepernick to sit in during the national anthem when San Francisco comes to town."
Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez

American Thinker contributors have much to say on this:

Where is the black Democrat telling Colin Kaepernick to shut up?
This is NOT my father's Democrat Party!
. . . "Here is the worst part: His message of black victimology was unchallenged. No one in the Congressional Black Caucus stood up and called Collin out.    No one in the Democrat Party defended the police from the outrageous lies that Kaepernick said.  . . . 
. . . "At the end of the day, who cares whether Kaepernick salutes the national anthem. Let him sit down! However, he has no right to attack the integrity of our police officers or pretend to be enlightened by wearing a Fidel Castro T-shirt!"
The cowardice of Colin Kaepernick 
Does he feel any compassion for mothers and fathers wondering if this is the day their children will not return from school?  Has he ever questioned the liberal policies of the killing field cities like Chicago and Baltimore, or do only black lives killed by police matter?  
Related to this:  . . . He should also speak to Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke, who repeatedly has said, “The failed liberal government policies have led to high unemployment, chronic poverty, failing schools… Milwaukee has inescapable poverty. We’re like the sixth poorest city in America. You have massive black unemployment… You have dysfunctional families, you have father-absent homes, you have questionable lifestyle choices.”

What Trace Adkins Did For FALLEN Cop’s Family Makes Him A HERO And Kaepernick A ZERO  "Trace Adkins and Knoxville venue the Back Porch On The Creek announced plans to donate $10,000.00 to the family of fallen Maryville Police Officer Kenny Moats.
According to concert organizers, Adkins was scheduled to perform September 2nd and $1.00 of each ticket sold would be donated to the local Fraternal Order of Police.
…Officer Moats was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance call in Blount County last Thursday.
"What’s more, if you show your badge, you get in for free!"

Not a good idea: Read here.

Kaepernick: Oh, by the way, Hillary should be in jail  . . . "So, despite his obvious, logical insight into the Hillary Clinton email scandal (wisdom and insight lost on 98% of the mainstream media) we can’t celebrate this ingrate in any way whatsoever. We merely raise the topic to point out that somehow ESPN and CNN and the major broadcast networks who covered this story 24/7 since Saturday seems to have overlooked this element. That’s all."

Chargers to Greet Colin Kaepernick with a ‘Salute to the Military’ on Thursday Night 
. . . "The optics promise a startling contrast if nothing else. As one African American in red, white, and gold sits during the song another, Petty Officer 1st Class Steven Powell, in dress whites sings it. A color guard representing the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines and 240 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines holding a massive “super flag” on the field aid the visual aspect of the performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” at Quaalcom Stadium in San Diego." . . .

Iran: 'We Welcome War With the U.S.'

PJ Media

. . . "The Iranian vessels harassed the USS Nitze, a destroyer, by “conducting a high speed intercept and closing within a short distance of Nitze, despite repeated warnings,” said the official. “The Iranian high rate of closure … created a dangerous, harassing situation that could have led to further escalation, including additional defensive measures by Nitze.”

"USS Nitze changed course to get away from the Iranian vessels, but Iran’s message was clear: it has been on a war footing against the United States since 1979, and continues to be. The Iran nuclear deal has only emboldened it.

"Iranian vessels now regularly confront U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf. The Obama administration has been deliberately hiding and downplaying these incidents.

"Think about the enormity of that: the White House is misleading Americans into thinking that Obama successfully achieved rapprochement with Iran." . . .
Obama is obviously trying to run out the clock and dump this all on the next administration. Any bloodshed coming from all this, our petulant, vindictive boy president will blame on the next president, just as he has blamed his own failures on President Bush.
From before his first day in office to his last, Obama has bowed to the Iranians just as the schoolboy does to the bully, giving him what he wants just to be left alone.
I have heard no Democrat speak out against this.  TD

Guilt by Association, Real vs Imagined



Karin McQuillan . . . "In contrast, Hillary actually does support BLM, a racist organization that promotes murder of whites.  She repeats the cop-killing lie that we have a racist justice system." . . .

. . . "Unlike Trump’s non-relationship with radicals in word, thought or deed, Obama has had lifelong radical ties.  His beloved teenage mentor, the odious child molester Frank Marshall, was an actual Communist.  As an adult, Obama was plucked from obscurity by terrorist Bill Ayers, who recruited Obama to join him on the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, where they distributed $100 million to radical causes.

"Not to forget Obama’s racist, anti-Semitic and openly Marxist pastor for decades, who led his congregation to cheer 9/11.  (Remember how you felt the week after 9/11?  Can you imagine staying in a church that cheered the bombing of the World Trade Towers?) Wright is a man who Obama loved, praised, quoted and invited to campaign with him.  Now we have Obama inviting to the White House the radical, cop-hating BLM movement that cheers assassination of cops."

"The contrast between the baseless accusations that Trump is a fringe candidate and the reality of Obama and Hillary Clinton’s lifelong radical associations could not be clearer.  Thanks to the liberal propaganda press, their voters will never know."

The 25 Questions From Judicial Watch That Hillary Must Answer Under Oath

"Judicial Watch on Tuesday submitted 25 questions for Hillary Clinton about her use of a private email system.
"U.S. District Court judge Emmet Sullivan granted the watchdog group the right to pose the questions to Clinton as part of the discovery process for its lawsuit against the State Department. Sullivan had denied Judicial Watch’s request to depose the Democratic presidential candidate.
"The 25 questions range from queries about why Clinton created her private email system to whether she was made aware about hacking attempts to her communications with Bryan Pagliano, the former State Department employee she paid off-the-books to manage the system.
“ 'Describe the creation of the clintonemail.com system, including who decided to create the system, the date it was decided to create the system, why it was created, who set it up, and when it became operational,” reads Judicial Watch’s first entry."

The legal document with the questions Here is one:

#5;  In a 60 Minutes interview aired on July 24, 2016, you stated that it was “recommended” you use a personal email account to conduct official State Department business. What recommendations were you given about using or not using a personal email account to 4 conduct official State Department business, who made any such recommendations, and when were any such recommendations made?

RAAAAAYCIST!: ABC’s Amy Robach, Colored People & People of Color



"Is it just me, or is there no significant difference between the phrases “colored people” and “people of color”? Apparently, to stupid liberals the terms are incredibly different in level of grievance theater offense, even though they mean the exact same thing. Annoying ABC liberal Amy Robach learned the hard way.

"In this age of phony “post-racialism”–in which racism seems to be more alive then ever (on the part of Blacks and their legion of liberal White enablers)–the eggshells we walk on seem to be ever thinner and more brittle. And you have to watch every little thing you say. Well, I don’t because I don’t care. But people who are in public positions and are employed by mainstream employers do. And it’s not just getting ridiculous. It’s way far beyond ridiculous. Even the most politically-correct liberals get the brunt of it, which goes to show that you just can never say anything right–can never say anything that won’t offend an ever-growing group of whiners in the professional victimization crowd.

"Using the N-word is one thing, but saying, “colored people”? Um, how is that different from the “preferred” “people of color”? It isn’t. Not any more than saying “Jewish people” is different than saying “people of the Jewish faith (or ethnicity).” They are simply the same thing.

"But since we live in a spoiled country, the whole of the internet came down on ABC’s “Good Morning America” co-hostess Amy Robach, who was delivering a “pop culture news report” (yeah, that’s how dumbed down we are–when a program has both a news report and a pop culture news report).

"You see, Robach reported on minorities and colored people . . . er, PEOPLE OF COLOR! whining that they are mad that White people are playing them in movies and TV shows. And in delivering that old news, Robach mentioned that “colored people” are upset.

"A ton of social media trolls attacked Robach as a RAAAAAYCIST!" . . .

Why Hillary Is Never Held Accountable for Her Lies

Image result for hillary lying cartoons
Daily LOL
Victor Davis Hanson  "Everyone rightly catalogues Donald Trump’s fibs, distortions, and exaggerations: his assertions about his net worth, his charitable contributions, his initial supposed opposition to the Iraq War, or his “flexible” positions on illegal immigration. After all, he is flamboyant, right-wing in his present incarnation, and supposedly bends the truth either out of crass narcissism or for petty profiteering. So the watchdog media and popular culture have no problem with ridiculing Trump as a fabricator. 

"But not so with Hillary Clinton, whose untruths far overshadow Trump’s in both import and frequency, but are so often contextualized, excused, and forgotten because of who she is and the purpose her outright lying supposedly serves. 

"Lying in America has become not lying when “good” liars advance alternative narratives for noble purposes — part of our long slide into situational ethics and moral relativism." . . .

Leftist lying:
If Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King reconstruct themselves as black Americans, then their “stories” are as legitimate as any others, given their progressive agendas and their antitheses to the white male power structure. 
 And Obama:
Obama himself can invent large chunks of his “autobiography” and it is neither a lie nor a fable, given that his principled intent was to enlighten us about the burdens of growing up as the Other.

The racial grievance left’s crazy train picking up speed

Richard F. Miniter   "A woman by the name of Nina Revoyr had an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times on Sunday entitled “What’s missing when you hike the California backcountry? People of color.”  Here,  But it’s better entitled “Climbing Aboard The Crazy Train.”

"Because Nina believes (or says she believes) that one reason that “people of color” are not well represented in the hiking and camping community is that:
For many, the wilderness, historically, is dangerous territory. Escaped slaves passed through forests full of danger …
"Of course, a scholar might ask if anybody anywhere at any time in all the immense body of literature recording the black experience in America ever noted a tendency on the part of black parents to pass on a fear of the forests.

"But scholarship hasn’t very much attraction to race-baiters like Ms. Revoyr, who’ll seize upon any silliness to illustrate how steeped in hatred America is even to the point of reformulating Congressman Alcee Hastings’s wacko idea that national parks are racist because blacks were once lynched from trees and there are any number of trees in those parks (see the Frontpage Magazine article here).

"Or was she not race-baiting at all, and just having a bad day?  Let’s look."  . . .

Watch SJW Woman Berate Lyft Driver Over His Dashboard Hoola Girl Until He Kicks Her Out

Daily Wire  "Rebel Media commentator Lauren Southern (pictured, right) uploaded a video she was anonymously sent showing an insane Social Justice Warrior (redundant) laying into her driver for having a classic dashboard hoola(sp) girl displayed in his car. 
"The "vocal-fried" SJW in question is a woman named Annaliese Nielsen, the founder of "Girls Night In," a secretive and selective women's community which she described to ABC News as an exclusive online sorority. Apparently these women enjoy going out, having a few cocktails, and then hunting for males who will undoubtedly offend them in some SJW rage-inducing way. 
In the video (below), which she recorded herself, Nielson begins her self-righteous rant on the evils of hoola girl knickknacks by telling the driver, "You thought that was adorable? You didn't think about the pillaging of the like, continent of Hawaii?"

Colin Kaepernick, Meet Henry Johnson (Updated)


David French at National Review  . . . "The problem is that Kaepernick does not sit alone. There exists a class of people who believe this country isn’t worth respecting — much less fighting for — so long as “injustice” endures. Their version of “patriotism” is a form of hatred. They claim to love the American idea, but they will continue to withhold that love until the idea becomes reality. 

"The men who truly built this country were not so double-minded. The men who built this country could love their nation even during darker times — and lay down their lives in its defense. Consider the example of Sergeant Henry Johnson.

"Johnson, a black American, was born in 1897 in North Carolina, a state that as a matter of law, culture, and policy comprehensively oppressed its black citizens. He was born during what may have been the peak decade of a wave of lynchings that terrorized black communities across the South." . . .

Todd Starnes makes a salient point:
. . . "People have to find a more socially acceptable way to deal with their frustration, their anger and resentment," he said. "We cannot have the social upheaval - the chaos that we saw (Saturday) night that frightens good, law-abiding people in those neighborhoods."
"Sheriff Clarke is a good man who is not afraid to speak the truth - no matter how politically incorrect it may be. And he's absolutely right -- we must have law and order.
"One of the protesters said they want economic opportunities.  Well - they can start by not burning down the economic opportunities they already have.

White House defends Obama evading Senate on Paris climate deal

Washington Times

It would surprise no one if President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping were to announce the ratification of the sweeping climate change agreement before the Sunday opening of the Group of 20 summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. (Associated Press)

"The White House on Monday defended President Obama’s decision to enter into the Paris climate accord without Senate ratification but stopped short of confirming a Chinese report that he will do so this week during his trip toChina.
"Still, it would surprise no one if Mr. Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping were to announce the ratification of the sweeping climate change agreement before the Sunday opening of the Group of 20 summit in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
"White House senior adviser Brian Deese said the president has the legal authority to ratify the accord without the two-thirds Senate vote required for treaties. He said the pact negotiated by 195 countries in December is merely an “executive agreement.”
“The president will use his authority that has been used in dozens of executive agreements in the past to join and formally deposit our instrument of acceptance, and therefore put our country as a party to the Paris Agreement,” Mr. Deese said at a White House press conference.
"He noted that both presidents announced in March that they “would seek to formally join the Paris Agreement in 2016.' ” . . .
