Looks like this election will come down to the least contemptible choice

The Drudge drop on Trump will far overshadow this news, will it not?

Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005  "Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone, saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it,” according to a video obtained by The Washington Post." . . .

Podesta emails show excerpts of Clinton speeches to Goldman
. . . "Harry Walker Agency is the speaker’s bureau that arranged Clinton’s lucrative speech circuit after she left the State Department, which included $3 million dollars from speeches to banks and financial firms -- $675,000 came from three speeches from Goldman Sachs. The 25 flagged excerpts likely point to why Clinton and her campaign have refused to release the transcripts, despite coming under fire from Senator Bernie Sanders during the primary." . . .

Wikileaks Appears To Release Hillary Clinton’s Paid Speech Transcripts  "Clinton’s paid speeches to Goldman Sachs and other financial firms were a point of contention during this year’s primary. A hacked email to campaign chairman John Podesta, made public Friday, appears to show excerpts Clinton’s research team flagged internally, including remarks she made about Wall Street and other policies."

Hillary speaks at Charlotte NC church. New media shows what the MSM will not

Clash Daily  "We know that The Media (D) is partisan and sheltering Hillary from criticism. But, they can’t shelter her from the ‘new’ media. Check this out.
"Turnout wasn’t so great — dozens show up. You can see this photo was taken while Hillary was speaking."

CNN needs to stop deceptively editing videos

Washington Examiner

"Creating a narrative through deception won't help victims or change the minds of skeptics. When people see the media lying to them, it makes it difficult to believe the narrative being crafted.
"Take the recent examples of CNN. The network has now twice edited videos to create alternate narratives in regards to the recent shootings of two different black men by cops.
"ust this week, the pro-police group Blue Lives Matter charged that the network deceptively edited video of the police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott. The full video, taken by his wife Rakeyia, featured officers repeatedly telling Scott to "drop the gun." In the video aired on CNN, no such demands were shown.
"The editing was clearly intended to give viewers the impression that Scott wasn't armed. By intentionally excluding information to promote the false narrative that the officer-involved shooting of Keith Scott was unjustified, CNN directly contributed towards inciting violence and destruction in the Charlotte riots," the group said in a statement.

"Innocent citizens were hurt during the Charlotte riots, but editing like this also incites violence against police officers long after the riots are over." . . .

The coming Trump-Hillary debate

Debating Hillary, Part 1  

Debating Hillary, Part 2  Financial Crisis: "Democrats caused the problem, then Democrats took credit for solving it."

Debating Hillary, Part 3  "No, there isn't. In Part 3 of this 6 part series, Bill takes apart Hillary's energy plans and examines the consequences to the planet."

BILL WHITTLE'S FIREWALL: DEBATING HILLARY, PART 4: CYBER SECURITY  "Surely there was no greater missed opportunity in the first debate than listening to HILLARY CLINTON talk about how "concerned" she is about the security of classified government information.Bill Whittle rushes in where CNN fears to tread." . . .







Can Mike Pence bridge the gap between Trumpism and traditional conservatism?  . . . ""Yes, Pence essentially ignored Trump's deviations from mainstream Republican orthodoxy and doubled down on the habitual GOP hawkishness. But he wouldn't have been talking so much about law and order and race if Trump hadn't been at the top of the ticket."

Chicago cop badly beaten because she hesitated using gun in the wake of #BlackLivesMatter protests

Thomas Lifson  "Murder rates are soaring in our nation’s largest cities, as police officers behave exactly as human beings do when criticized – in this instance for being too proactive, and too anxious to use firearms. As a result, law abiding residents of urban areas are dying in larger numbers, though that is of no concern to BLM and its financial backer George Soros.
"But cops are also suffering. In Chicago, via Jeremy Gorner and Hal Dardick of the Chicago Tribune:" . . .
 Chicago’s top cop said Thursday one of his officers was seriously beaten at an accident scene because the national focus on police shootings has caused officers to second-guess themselves.
Superintendent Eddie Johnson said the patrol officer told him she did not use her gun to defend herself for fear of a backlash.  "She didn’t want her family or the department to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news," he said.
The injured officer, a 17-year Chicago police veteran, got into a struggle with a man who allegedly was high on PCP after she stopped at a crash scene in the Austin community on the West Side on Wednesday morning.
The suspect smashed the officer's face into the pavement repeatedly until she was unconscious, police said.
"Police work is very dangerous, and this incident proves that officers are at even greater risk now. This cannot help police-community relations at all. Ad that is exactly what the BLM movement wants."

If you want to treat the officer to ice cream, do NOT, repeat NOT, take her Ben and Jerry's   "Ben & Jerry’s ice cream company has declared their support of Black Lives Matter by launching a giant campaign of misinformation.

From Ben & Jerry's site
"On Thursday, the Vermont-based ice cream company posted a giant Black Lives Matter logo on their Facebook page and website saying that “Choosing to be silent in the face of such injustice is not an option.”"In the corresponding statement, the company said, “It’s been hard to watch the list of unarmed Black Americans killed by law enforcement officers grow longer and longer.' ” 

Antonio Cromartie Is Fired After Disrespecting USA While In London

Blue Lives Matter


. . . "Antonio Cromartie is not alone in his antics which undermine patriotism in this country. He is the first player who has had their career tanked so soon after making such a stupid gesture. The move comes after the Colts lost to their long-time divisional rivals, the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars are considered by many to be the worst team in the NFL, and the Colts allowed Bortles to throw for two touchdowns and run for a third.
"Cromartie has not been playing well this season despite signing a 3 million dollar deal prior to the season starting. He needs that 3 million dollars because he has fathered 12 children with 8 different women and has to pay more that 336,000 dollars a month in child support.
"Whether Cromartie was let go for his unpatriotic display is a subject for further discussion. He did the same thing last week as the Colts played the Oakland Raiders and was retained. Did the team’s management decide that he was not playing well enough to continue despite his 4-time selection to the Pro Bowl and his hard-hitting play style? Perhaps they were just tired of his antics on the sideline costing the team money." . . .

Todd Starnes: Radio Station Yanks Football Broadcast over Anti-American Protest
. . . “ 'They’re college students and it’s about time they get an education on the concept that their actions have consequences,” he said. “And the consequence in this case is that the ECU Pirates will not be heard on ESPN Fayetteville this weekend.”
Jeff said he’s received calls of support from around the nation – and also among his radio sponsors.
“ 'So far, it has been unanimous,” he said. ‘Every sponsor I’ve talked to agrees that last weekend’s spectacle at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium was shameful and a message needs to be sent.”
"Jeff Andrulonis and his team at Colonial Media are red-blooded American patriots and I hope that you click here to let these fine folks know how much you appreciate their decision to stand up for the Armed Forces of these great United States." . . .

Leaked memo shows Hillary camp scripted entire appearance with Steve Harvey

Conservative Firing Line

Hillary Steve Harvey scripted

. . . "The campaign memo reveals that Clinton’s staff worked with Harvey to craft the structure of the interview, and briefed the Democratic presidential nominee ahead of time on the precise wording of Harvey’s questions.
The questions touched on Clinton’s granddaughter, her preference for deep dish or thin crust pizza, her campaign’s “great start,” efforts to bridge America’s racial divide, and her support for gun control policies.
"Even questions from the audience were scripted:"
Question from audience member Robin Rick (Robin is a Supervisor at Manhattan Beach Unified Schools Kitchen):
“Hi Steve. I’m a grandmother of 12 kids so by now I’m running out of fun things to do with them. I’m looking for new ways to entertain them so I was wondering, since Marjorie (Steve’s wife) is a grandmother like me what are some of her favorite things to do with your grandkids?)”
After the question is asked, he will surprise the audience by introducing his “expert,” YOU. YOU will enter the stage and assist Steve in answering the question. At this point he will show the picture of YOU and President Clinton holding Charlotte for the first time (pasted below).
"Even her answers were scripted:"
What do YOU think of Robin’s question?
• I’m lucky, I only have one grandchild at the moment and another one coming this summer! So I’m just experiencing the newness of it all. We spend countless hours just watching Charlotte in awe. When she learned to clap her hands, we gave her a standing ovation…
• I love to sing the song ‘Wheels on the Bus,’ and that keeps Charlotte entertained.

Fox and the GOP need radical makeovers

. . . "The unhinged non-news Hannity, who is widely seen as an adjunct to Donald Trump’s campaign — even going so far as appearing in a campaign ad for the GOP presidential nominee — now has attacked an actual news host, Megyn Kelly. He accuses her of being in Hillary Clinton’s camp. This is as obnoxious as it is false. The question, however, is now teed up for the Fox News execs: Is it a real news network that cares about the integrity of its news personnel or a caricature of right-wing media — in the thrall of know-nothingism, conspiracy-mongering and plain dishonesty?
"Hannity’s behavior is so inappropriate that one has to wonder whether he is trying to get booted — or justify an upcoming post-election change. 
"Nevertheless, the responsibility is Fox’s. If it cares about the reputations of quality news figures (e.g. Bret Baier, Chris Wallace, James Rosen) it will dump Hannity or relegate him to 21st Century Fox’s entertainment division. Fox cannot be both a serious outlet and tolerate Hannity’s attack on the integrity of its news people. The latter should be letting their bosses know in no uncertain terms: It is time to choose between the Fox News brand and the Hannity brand. The two are incompatible."

Do the 55% of Americans liking Obama know how little we are respected internationally?


How did all this silliness work out?

Russia posts provocative tweet warning US on Syria, mocking Earnest  "The Russian government is ratcheting up warnings – on Twitter – to the U.S. government not to interfere with its military operations in Syria, even suggesting American aircraft could be targeted by its “air defense systems.”

"In a provocative tweet Wednesday, the Russian embassy in Washington posted a side-by side photo of White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest and the Russian S-300 missile system.

"With the military apparatus pointed toward the image of Earnest, a caption says Russia wants the system because they “never really know what kind of assistance terrorists might get.” The tweet says Russia will take “every defensive measure necessary” to protect their personnel in Syria." . . .


Clinton Camp: Hillary Agrees that Iran Deal Eliminated Nuclear Program . . . "During the vice-presidential debate, Kaine said repeatedly that Iran's nuclear program "has been stopped" and that Clinton had "worked a tough negotiation with nations … to eliminate the Iranian nuclear weapons program."

"Fact checkers rated Kaine's claim false almost immediately, writing that the nuclear deal only purports to curb, not eliminate, Iran's nuclear weapons program, and that the country still has a nuclear infrastructure.
"But the Clinton campaign reaffirmed Kaine's statements after the debate, with campaign spokesman Brian Fallon telling Fox News's Megyn Kelly that Hillary Clinton also believed that Iran's nuclear program has been eliminated." . . .

When facts, logic and history don’t matter

What more lies ahead in this election campaign?

 Charles Krauthammer


. . . "How primitive have our politics become? Fix what? Family structure? Social inheritance? Self-destructive habits? How? He doesn’t say. He’ll will it. Trust him, as he likes to say.
After 15 months, the suspension of disbelief has become so ubiquitous that we hardly notice anymore. We are operating in an alternate universe where the geometry is non-Euclidean, facts don’t matter, history and logic have disappeared.
"Going into the first debate, Trump was in a virtual tie for the lead. The bar for him was set almost comically low. He had merely to (1) suffer no major meltdown and (2) produce just a few moments of coherence.
"He cleared the bar. In the first half-hour, he established the entire premise of his campaign. Things are bad and she’s been around for 30 years. You like bad? Stick with her. You want change? I’m your man.
"It can’t get more elemental than that. At one point, Clinton laughed and ridiculed Trump for trying to blame her for everything that’s ever happened. In fact, that’s exactly what he did. With some success." . . .

Sheriff Clarke Disinvited From U. New Haven for Criticizing Black Lives Matter

Legal Insurrection
“Unfortunately, circumstances did not permit Sheriff Clarke’s attendance at this year’s symposium.”

https://youtu.be/Gz-kqTsiQXo

"Sheriff David Clarke is an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump and critic of the Black Lives Matter movement. This summer, the University of New Haven in Connecticut invited him to speak this fall, but the invitation was recently rescinded.
"Clarke wrote about the situation at Patheos:
The University of New Haven Disinvited Me to Speak on FORENSICS, because of #BlackLivesMatter
The cult-like demands of #BlackLivesMatter have extended all the way into the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences. This program, established by Dr. Henry C. Lee of University of New Haven, is one of the foremost academic forensic programs in the world. (He’s worked on the JonBenét Ramsey case, the O.J. Simpson and Laci Peterson cases, the post-9/11 investigations, and has reinvestigated the assassination of John F. Kennedy.) I was honored to have been invited to speak this month at their 25 th Annual Markle Symposium October 24 and 25 2016.
