Of course Hillary isn't a name that's new or unfamiliar to anyone, since she has already served two
terms as co-president. But now her goal is to the the President of the United States, officially
and without taking a back seat to anyone. With that in mind, it's time to learn more about her.
Nobody expects that if Hillary Clinton is elected as President, Bill Clinton will sit in the car and wait
for her to get finished with it. They will serve again as co-presidents. The people who
denigrated the Bush father-and-son team in the White House as a "dynasty" are keeping silent about the
Clinton husband-and-wife team.
The Clintons come as a two-for-one package deal. When one is president, the
other is co-president. Hillary's campaign should be seen for what it is: an attempted
end-run around the Constitution to allow Bill Clinton to serve an illegal third term.
It's hard to imagine a hard-core leftist like Hillary ("It Takes a Village") Clinton becoming
the President of the U.S., but with the help of the news media — the news media that only reluctantly
reports about the Clintons' many scandals — it is within the range of possibility.
For a while, it appeared that Hillary's biggest obstacle was going to be
the Norman Hsu scandal. But that
issue has quickly disappeared from the headlines. More recently, the Clintons reluctantly
released their tax returns, which paint a picture of just another
ultra-rich limousine liberal who
pretends to be the champion of the little guy.
Also please note that I don't intend this to be an ad hominem attack on
Mrs. Clinton, necessarily — I would like to say that it is her platform that I
oppose. At the same time, it is appropriate to call attention to her inability
to give a straight, honest answer to even the simplest question. That's called
chicanery. Very simply, it means that she can't be trusted.
The launch of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign
Introduction by The Editor:
Hillary's long-anticipated presidential campaign was launched on or about April 13, 2015, incorporating
a few bizarre features: A giant van named Scooby, which reminds me more of the van used on the old NBC
show, Ironside, a logo that
looks a lot like the Cuban flag, and a series of carefully astroturfed public appearances that nobody cared
about. The rollout of the Hillary campaign generated almost no favorable press and was quickly
overshadowed by a series of emerging scandals.
Hillary
Clinton: Republicans 'are trying to rip the heart out of America'. Hillary Clinton had strong words for
the Trump administration and Republicans on Friday [7/13/2018] while addressing the American Federation of Teachers, saying
the fundamental rights of Americans are what's at stake this November. Speaking at the labor union's conference in
Pittsburgh, Mrs. Clinton slammed the administration's separations of families at the border as inhumane and indecent.
Hillary
Clinton Never, Ever Leaves. Hillary Clinton is our Bob Wiley. She stalks the American people, inserts
herself in our lives at every turn. Bill Clinton tried to give us a heads-up when he campaigned, saying that by
electing him, the people would get two for the price of one. Americans ignored the warning, elected Bill, and opened
the door to Hillary.
Strong Enough.
Did anyone realize the onslaught that a Democratic loss would bring? Did anyone predict just how juvenile and inane the
Democratic base would be? Did anyone understand the petulance and nastiness Democratic officials would display?
Did anyone predict how hyperbolic and crazy the leftist media would become? It is disconcerting how many have become so
unhinged over the past years. Even so, it's not possible to have guessed just how extreme and hyperbolic the left would
become. Championing "resistance" as if they were in a revolutionary cadre in a South American country was not expected.
Acting like whining toddlers en masse was not anticipated. A media in total hysterical lockstep to unearth
any evidence that Trump was bad, going as low as critiquing two servings of ice cream for him, was not foreseen.
Expect
even more executive power grabs from Hillary. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign
launch was meant to present a different side of Hillary — a softer, more humble, less
power-hungry version of the candidate. The "Scoobie" van road trip to Iowa portrayed Hillary as the
everywoman, interested only in You. Hillary was trying to shift the public's attention away from
her scandal-ridden days in Arkansas and as first lady, her Wall Street connections, the Clinton
Foundation's questionable fundraising and her role as diplomatic field general for a disastrous
foreign policy. Clinton's campaign not only wanted to leave the old Hillary behind, but to
distance her from President Obama as well.
The
Clintons' Criminal Board of Trustees. [Scroll down] Hillary Clinton, of course,
is the increasingly radical now 67-year-old presidential candidate who in 2008 somehow managed to
snatch defeat from the jaws of what for years before had seemed to pundits far and wide like an
"inevitable" victory. She is the unceasingly devious, condescending plutocrat who at the launch of
her 2016 campaign told the American people, "Everyday Americans need a champion. I want to be
that champion."
Hillary
Clinton's candidacy could sink. Sometimes the idea of a thing is much better than the
thing itself. Take the Titanic, for example, or Hillary Clinton's campaign for president.
During the all-important conceptual phase, both benefited from an aura of invincibility —
which is a great thing to have, until you meet your iceberg.
Hill
and Bill can't hide from shady deals exposed in 'Clinton Cash'. The Clintons have been
playing the political press for idiots. Revealing what they've been up to took a little bit of
work. It wasn't obvious. While Bill Clinton was giving a speech about fighting AIDS in Africa, or
about educating girls in Asia, reporters simply regurgitated the press release. They didn't ask:
Who's that shady guy standing next to Bill? What are his interests? How much money has he given to,
or raised for, Bill, Hillary and their foundation? And what favorable treatment did the shady guy
subsequently receive from Hillary? When you're a political reporter, complexity is boring.
Curiosity takes work. Asking questions and looking up information can lead to dead ends.
Does Bill
Clinton Not Want Hillary to be President? I think there is some secret, dark part of
Bill Clinton — not that he actually has many "secret" dark parts, but stick with me
here — that does not want his wife to be president. How else can one explain how
this most sublime of politicians seems to do everything possible to destroy her chances? He
constructed a shady charity/business empire when he knew full well she would run for president.
He helped screw up her 2008 effort with some dumb remarks about race. The most recent
unforced Bill Clinton error is his revival on the Today show this morning of the "We were so poor"
theme, which Hillary already took for a test flight and crash landed with a few weeks ago.
Hillary
Clinton's insultingly vapid video. The more I watch Hillary Clinton's announcement
video, the less I like it. [...] For one, the video was relentlessly, insultingly vapid —
a Verizon commercial without the substance. "Americans have fought their way back from tough
economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top," Clinton said in what
passed for a meaty message. "Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that
champion." Seriously, this makes Ronald Reagan's gauzy "It's Morning Again in America"
commercial look like a Brookings Institution seminar on economic policy.
Hillary
Clinton: The candidate of meh. Hillary Clinton's campaign launch video (no big speech
among the little people for her) seems at first like a commercial for Target. It ends up with a
message about — what, exactly? That all these people who are getting on with their lives
just fine somehow need Clinton to be their champion. Her website is long on biographical information,
short on policy positions. ThinkProgress actually proposed some "economic policies Hillary Clinton
could use to energize voters," since Clinton currently has none of her own.
Our
fawning press and Hillary Clinton's Iowa magical mystery tour. Republicans critiquing
this comedy should not get too cocky. A recent Rasmussen poll, taken in the wake of the email
scandal, showed that 57% of Americans likely to vote think Hillary will be our next president.
That kind of certainty can become self-fulfilling, causing people to withhold donations and stay home on
voting day. Republicans have to work much harder than they may think to turn this around.
Our
fawning press and Hillary Clinton's Iowa magical mystery tour. No one in their right
mind thinks that Hillary is more comfortable traveling 1,000 miles in a mini-van Secret Service
convoy than in the back seat of a limo, or on Air Force One for heaven's sake. If Hillary's
advisers think that Iowans are that simple-minded, shame on them.
Big:
Hillary debuts new, even gayer campaign logo. Offhand I can't think of another major
Democratic politician who arrived later to the cause of legalizing same-sex marriage by judicial
decree than Hillary Clinton, and of course somehow she's the party's prohibitive frontrunner for the
nomination anyway. The more I think about it, the more I think that's an even bigger lefty hypocrisy
than letting Obama off the hook for opposing SSM on the trail in 2008. For every other gay person
and Democratic pol in the universe, years-long steadfast support for legalized gay marriage is an
absolute litmus test for the base's support [...]
Now
is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party. More specifically, it is
time for all Democrats to start thinking of candidates other than Hillary Clinton, and of building a
bench up as quickly as possible, using all possible twigs. It's not just that the "one hand
clapping" plan of running a non-incumbent without opposition was always problematic. It's that
this particular candidate is not only scandal-prone but a bad politician. On a meet-and-greet
tour she went to Chipotle without talking to anyone, met "everyday people" who were liberal activists,
parked her van in a space reserved for the handicapped and unveiled a logo that looks like the directions
to the emergency room, where her campaign may be headed.
The
Other Clinton Foundation Scandal. In the wake of revelations about the curious timing
between donations to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation and favorable policies during
Hillary's tenure as secretary of state, the foundation has admitted to making a couple bookkeeping
"mistakes" involving foreign donations. But the foundation, the Clintons and their phalanx of
defenders all insist there's absolutely no evidence of any quid pro quo. If that's the case,
just what were these foreigners donating money for?
Clinton
Foundation follies starting to roil the left. To hear Hillary Rodham Clinton's aides
and supporters tell it, questions about her family foundation's fund-raising while she was secretary
of state are "nothing more than a tangled web of conspiracy theories" by Republican operatives.
Sorry: The steady flow of disturbing news has concern growing in Democratic circles. That's
likely one reason the foundation's acting CEO, Maura Palley, released a long statement admitting "mistakes"
that she insisted were mostly minor clerical errors.
Granny
Clinton Ditches 'Common American' Ruse, Flies 1st-Class Back to DC. She must have been seething to have
to drag her baggage (and boy howdy, does this woman have baggage) through Logan Airport under the glare of television
cameras and gazes of the average schlubs. This woman has spent the better past of the past quarter century flying
on Air Force One or private jets and now she has to lower herself to fly commercial.
Scooby
hits the road at 92 MPH! Democratic Presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's
security detail led a handful of journalists on two lengthy high-speed chases to homes of
influential Democrats on Monday [4/20/2015]. Her lone official appearance on her first day in
New Hampshire was a carefully stage-managed small-business roundtable in Keene. But a lunchtime
visit to a main-street bakery and two more appointments later in the day were off-the-books and
under the public's radar. If police radar had been engaged, however, it would have clocked
Hillary's signature black conversion van — 'Scooby', for the uninitiated —
hitting 92 mph in a driving rainstorm on Interstate 89, where the top speed limit is 65.
No one in the motorcade displayed flashing lights or blasted a siren.
Voters,
Hillary doesn't have time for you. So it looks like Hillary Clinton's idea of a "listening"
tour is strictly invitation only. Just ask the good people of Keene, N.H., a liberal hamlet where
a half-dozen workers at a business hand-picked by Clinton's campaign made the cut. But dozens of
unscreened voters standing outside in the rain? Sorry, Hillary won't be "listening" to you.
Hillary
Clinton Flies First Class Back to Washington. With her first campaign trip drawing to a close, Hillary
Clinton traded the Scooby road-trip van for a first-class airplane seat to make the trip back to Washington. The
Democratic presidential candidate flew from Boston's Logan Airport to Ronald Reagan National Airport on Tuesday night
[4/21/2015], sitting in row one of the U.S. Airways' first-class section.
All Aboard the (Magical) Mystery
Machine. Hillary Clinton's giant, unmarked black van meandered out of Chappaqua after her announcement video,
barreling down the highway into a place a Clinton has seldom seen: the heartland. Shielded by Secret Service
agents, accompanied by senior staff, and armed with the comforting knowledge that, once in Iowa, she'd be meeting with people
as rich as she is, Hillary Clinton embarked on her quest to become one of the "little people." She stopped for gas that
she didn't pump, and ordered lunch from the crosstabs of a demographic poll. She met with hand-selected Real Americans
and failed to notice tip jars in minimum wage restaurants, and though she once tried to make a populist point about CEO wages,
couldn't locate a credit card in her wallet that wasn't already registered with her aide.
In
N.H., 'accessible' Hillary Clinton ignores supporters. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton,
who has vowed to be "accessible" to New Hampshire voters, left many of her rain-soaked supporters here high and dry when she sped
in and out of a public meeting without so much as a hello. "It should have been advertised that we're not allowed to see her,"
said Keene resident Michelle Isabelle.
Our
fawning press and Hillary Clinton's Iowa magical mystery tour. No one in their right
mind thinks that Hillary is more comfortable traveling 1,000 miles in a mini-van Secret Service
convoy than in the back seat of a limo, or on Air Force One for heaven's sake. If Hillary's
advisers think that Iowans are that simple-minded, shame on them.
Government by Google.
It was a mainstream media asking no questions that inflicted a Marxist president on an unsuspecting
West in 2008, but it is Google that is keeping him there, and Google which is making the election of
Hillary Clinton in 2016 all but inevitable. As much as half of the U.S. population so fervently
wishes otherwise, America-hating Marxists in office are there to stay, courtesy of the airtight power
bestowed upon them by the most arrogant, powerful and influential company on earth: Google.
Hillary's
Campaign Logo And The Left's Love Affair With Communist Cuba. Hillary Clinton's logo has been taking its share
of lumps since she unveiled it Sunday [4/11/2015]. Some say it looks like a hospital sign. Or the Twin Towers. Or
just plain ugly. We can see that. But we'd agree with those who say it looks as though it was inspired by the
Cuban flag. Not just because of the visual similarities — the blue stripes and red arrows pointing
right — but because it doesn't take a big or surprising leap to make a connection between the two.
Hillary's
Antiseptic Campaign: No Contact With the Riff Raff. Hillary's famous "Listening Tour" started off just as I figured it
would. She stopped at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids to discuss education and how to make it more affordable.
The visit was good for Hillaryphiles, who have no problem overlooking that Hillary has no record of accomplishments and a long history
of dishonesty and failure. That she is running a campaign solely based on the fact that she's a woman. (Really?)
But to come into contact with Hillary, you must pretend her record matches her rhetoric. You can't let on you know that
she accepts millions of dollars from countries where women are treated like possessions and extreme cruelty is common. You must
also overlook Hillary's long record of paying women significantly less than men.
Keeping
Hillary Under Wraps — Don't Open 'Til Election Day. Hillary is touring Iowa
in a van that resembles Scott Brown's truck or even Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine less than a vehicle
used to transport very important people and tie up traffic via a motorcade. What could have less
of a common touch than inspecting the peasants through tinted windows while sitting in the backseat
of a chauffeured car?
Hillary
doesn't have just one Mystery Machine; she has TWO (and a motorcade) to meet 'ordinary' Americans.
Hillary Clinton's security detail arrived at a suburban Des Moines, Iowa fruit processing company on Tuesday [4/14/2015]
with an added vehicle — a second Scooby. After her signature oversize black Chevy conversion van dropped
her off at Capitol Fruit Company in Norwalk, Iowa, a visually identical GMC van drove up to the building with a nearly
identical Secret Service escort vehicle. Both armored vehicles have raised roofs, deep-tinted windows and New York
license plates.
Hillary's
Campaign Is Even Creepier Than You Think. Americans have fought their way back from
tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top," Hillary declared
in her announcement video, which looked suspiciously like a 1990's Mentos commercial. "Everyday
Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion." There are several things wrong with
this, so we'll start with the obvious: Who in America older than the age of 12 wants a politician
to be their "champion"?
Why
is Hillary's 'Scooby' van parking in handicapped spaces? Nothing could better represent the "rules are
for little people" attitude of Hillary Clinton than cavalierly parking in parking spaces reserved for the handicapped.
But that is exactly what was captured in a video report aired by Omaha television station KETV when it covered her exit from
a private meeting with local Democratic leaders in Council Bluffs, Iowa, across the Missouri River from Omaha. The
station's online news report made no mention of abusing the handicapped space, even though the camera clearly captured
the Handicapped Parking sign where her van was parked.
At
her first Iowa stop, Hillary calls for constitutional limits on free speech. You may
very well have missed it. But at her first 2016 campaign stop in Iowa Tuesday [4/14/2015],
wannabe president Hillary Clinton called for a constitutional amendment if necessary to limit free
speech rights granted by the Supreme Court to unions, companies and organizations donating to
political campaigns. Few might have expected the ex-Obama aide to kick off her second bid to
infiltrate the Oval Office with such a proposal for fundamental change in settled American law.
Hillary Visits College,
Puts 'Everyday Iowans' On Lockdown. Hillary Clinton's effort to meet with some
ordinary Iowa college students during her van tour have apparently inconvenienced those unlucky
enough to be caught in her path, according to the Independent Journal Review. [...] However, while
some students were meeting with Hillary, according to other students at the school, classrooms that
sat along Hillary's planned walking route were put on lockdown, often leaving students stuck in
classrooms until the presidential candidate was no longer nearby.
Down
the Yellow Brick Road with Hillary. The idea, I suppose, was to picture the dawning of
an idyllic Clintonesque day when unflatteringly called "everyday Americans" — women,
gays, the poor, single moms, workers, small business folks — would eagerly join hands
with Hillary on her enlightened journey to Election Day 2016. It was like an infomercial
in which she's hawking an age-defying product: herself.
The
astonishing incompetence of Hillary's campaign rollout. [Scroll down] No, the
source of this disaster has to be at the top, Hillary herself. She has a reputation as imperious
for good reason. The woman who once commanded that staff in the White House not look her in the
face as she walked by likes to be in charge. [...] The idea of driving a van from the East Coast out
to Iowa sounds pretty good, just like lots of grandmas might do on the way to visiting family.
But an oversize, tall, shiny black van with darkened windows with a Secret Service convoy does not
exactly bespeak ordinary folks. It looks more like a monarch inspecting her domain.
No Questions,
Please: Hillary Announces on Twitter. America rejoice! A multi-millionairess serial
liar married to a multi-millionaire serial adulterer has just announced for the presidency of our
country to save the middle class from impoverishment!
Clinton
announces 2016 White House bid. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sunday
officially announced her 2016 presidential campaign, ending months of speculation and anticipation
about whether she would seek the Democratic nomination. Clinton made the announcement in a
YouTube video in which she says "Everybody needs a champion. And I want to be that champion." The
roughly two-minute video begins by showing a cross-section of Americans working to get ahead before
Clinton says: "I'm doing something, too. I'm running for president."
8
Reasons Hillary Clinton's Campaign Will Be A Train Wreck. Hillary Clinton has announced what
everyone's known for years: She's running for the Democratic nomination for president. Anyone not
a Democratic partisan who was old enough to be mildly cognizant by the late 1990s is sighing. After all
the scandals and lies and claims of victim status, do we really need to go through all that again?
Hillary
Clinton just doesn't get it: She's already running a losing campaign. Hillary
Clinton joins the race for president today. If you believe the leaks from her staff, and there's no
reason you shouldn't, she'll do it in a video released at noon as she herself flies high above the
nation in a chartered plane. She and her top advisors, all smart people, must think it's a good
idea. It doesn't feel like one.
Liberal
Politico Reporter: Clinton Campaign 'Collapsing Completely'. Politico senior staff
writer Glenn Thrush opined on Twitter that the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign was
"collapsing completely" before it started, and that she "shouldn't even bother to enter the race."
Clinton's
Nixonian path to office. The effective kickoff of Hillary Clinton's presidential
campaign was an act of deck-clearing so breathtaking, so brazen, that it remains difficult to
process. The former secretary of state summoned reporters to the United Nations, made a statement
on Iran nuclear negotiations, then admitted deleting more than 30,000 e-mails she had deemed personal
from the account she exclusively used while in office. This was the culmination of a deliberate,
multiyear end run around congressional oversight, the Freedom of Information Act and the archiving of
federal records. Documents she found inconvenient to sort while in government were convenient to
destroy after leaving office.
The re-launch of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign
June 13, 2016
All
The 'Clinton Cash' Questions Hillary Refuses to Answer. 'We need to stop the flow of
secret, unaccountable money," Hillary Clinton said Saturday during her vaunted campaign "do over."
That she said this without a trace of irony is no real surprise. Ever since the release of "Clinton
Cash" — which documented the Clintons' love of secret and unaccountable money — the
couple's reaction has been to pretend the scandal has nothing to do with them.
5
takeaways from Clinton's relaunch rally. [#1] The Democratic Party is moving left
fast, and she knows she needs to move with it. Clinton's spiel was slight on specifics (she'll
unveil a series of new economic initiatives in a series of speeches from July to August), but her
economic-inequality rhetoric could have been comfortably uttered by the likes of Elizabeth Warren,
Joseph Stiglitz, Bernie Sanders or Martin O'Malley.
The
Clinton Foundation Reeks of Crooks, Thieves, and Hoods. Hillary Clinton "re-launched"
her floundering campaign Saturday [6/13/2015] on Roosevelt Island, formerly and fittingly known as
Welfare Island. Clinton's desperate effort to associate herself with "everyday Americans" contrasts
starkly with the crooked elites with whom she and Bill normally cavort.
Bad Signs at the Hillary
Announcement. Nobody perceives Hillary as anything more than a political animal who
devotes her spare time to earning vast sums of money. They do perceive that she is a woman, but
that's not going to be enough. And so, her political campaign kickoff redo Saturday had some bad
tidings. Her speech was fine, but no one seemed to find it really inspirational. Her crowd
was very white, and while enthusiastic, not particularly awed. And then there was this: [Photo]
If
Republicans can't beat Hillary, they should disband the party. Hillary Clinton certainly has a flair
for the ironic. "There may be some new voices in the Republican presidential choir," Clinton observed in
Saturday's re-annoucement that she was running for president. "But they're all singing the same old
song — a song called 'Yesterday.'" Clinton was accusing Republicans of being trapped in the past
in the same speech that she began by referencing a speech Franklin Roosevelt gave in 1941. And in doing so,
she quoted a song the Beatles released in 1965 — before Republicans Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz
and Bobby Jindal had even been born.
Hillary
Wraps Her Arms Around Obama and Liberals in Kickoff Speech. Excoriating Republicans
who embrace "trickle-down economics" and hailing a handful of Democratic presidents, one her husband
and another who ended her presidential dream seven years ago, Hillary Clinton delivered a campaign
kickoff speech today that demonstrated she will wholeheartedly embrace, rather than avoid, President
Obama's two terms in office.
'Clinton
Cash' author on all the questions Hillary won't answer. 'We need to stop the flow of
secret, unaccountable money," Hillary Clinton said Saturday during her vaunted campaign "do over."
That she said this without a trace of irony is no real surprise. Ever since the release of
"Clinton Cash" — which documented the Clintons' love of secret and unaccountable
money — the couple's reaction has been to pretend the scandal has nothing to do with
them. Appearing on CNN, Bill Clinton claims that the millions the Clintons made from speeches
paid for by foreign individuals and entities who had business before Hillary's State Department were
innocent and coincidental.
Hillary
Clinton wants to take from the rich and give to the poor. It was a dramatic do-over of
her April 12 Twitter announcement that she was running for the White House for a second time.
Since that launch, her campaign has struggled amid revelations that her family's Clinton Foundation
accepted questionable donations, suspicions over her use of private e-mail while secretary of state,
and criticism she was ducking questions from the press and public.
Hillary
Relaunches Campaign All Over Again. The second and all-new launch happened today on
New York's Roosevelt Island which, ironically, used to be called Welfare Island. Attendees were
told to expect 'airport style security' for the event. Luckily for Mrs. Clinton's staff, it
doesn't look like they had to worry about crowd overflow.
Hillary
Campaign Launch Features Staffer That Said 'F U Republicans'. A top Hillary Clinton
campaign official addressed potential volunteers at Clinton's Roosevelt Island campaign launch event
Saturday, despite his verifiable hatred of Republicans and membership in an anti-GOP "mafia."
Marlon Marshall, director of political engagement for the Clinton campaign, spoke at the rally where
he discussed volunteer sign up numbers and pro-Hillary house parties underway in key early states.
Marshall previously served as President Obama's deputy director of the White House Office of Public
Engagement, a baldly political agency overseen by senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.
Hillary
Clinton plays it safe during campaign kick-off in New York, catering to Democratic core. She catered to
her party's core on gay rights, better early childhood education, paid family leave, cutting student loan debt and
upending the key Supreme Court decision on campaign finance. There was nothing especially provocative, even in
proposing greater worker share of profits. And she tried to have it both ways on energy: calling for more
clean energy and the extraction of fossil fuels.
Clinton
says immigrants deserve citizenship, 'not second class status,' during NYC speech.
While she didn't go in to specifics during her 45-minute speech, Clinton did say that law abiding
immigrants should be offered a path to citizenship, "not second class status," and criticized her
Republican counterparts for supporting stricter immigration measures. "They want to put
immigrants who work hard and pay taxes at risk of deportation," Clinton said to the crowd of a few
thousand people gathered in New York City.
Pantsuit
power: Hillary wants to take from the rich. "Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and
hedge-fund managers. Democracy can't just be for billionaires and corporations," Clinton declared to
5,500 fans under blue skies at Four Freedoms Park. It was a dramatic do-over of her April 12
Twitter announcement that she was running for the White House for a second time.
Welcome
to Hillary Island, a Pleasant Little Police State. Clinton formally declared her
candidacy for the Democratic nomination almost exactly a month ago, in April, with a 2:15 video.
"Everyday Americans need a champion," she said then. "And I wanna be that champion." Since that
time, Clinton has not been heard from much as she has traveled around, talking to some voters and ignoring
questions from the media and trying to seem as normal as possible despite being anything but.
Hillary
Clinton campaigns to be Obama 3.0. Please welcome to the presidential race the latest
version of the Democratic front-runner: Ms. Hillary Rodham Obama! The speech Hillary delivered
Saturday on Roosevelt Island made clear her presidency would be Barack Obama's third term. The
policies she would advance as president are intended to deepen Obama's unprecedented enmeshment of
the economy and the government. Ms. Rodham Obama went through an exhaustive list of goodies her
presidency would deliver to Americans. And when I say "exhaustive," I mean exhaustive.
5
takeaways from Clinton's relaunch rally. Hillary Clinton, who has spent most of the
early campaign touting her virtues as a note-taking listener, had lots and lots to say —
and then some more — during her epic 2016 kickoff speech on Roosevelt Island. Much of
it was the expected proto-State of the Union stuff — the entire last half was a policy
agenda full of vague specifics ("I will rewrite the tax code so it rewards hard work and investments
here at home, not quick trades or stashing profits overseas") and wonked-out data points geared to
justify government investment ("eighty percent of the brain is developed by age three").
Hillary
2.0 — Clinton Announcement Long on Promises, Short on Specifics. After two months of beta testing,
working out the bugs in a campaign announced on Twitter that featured a cross-country van tour but virtually no interactions
with actual reporters, the Clinton campaign relaunched Saturday with an event on Roosevelt Island in her adopted home state
of New York. The former secretary of state took the stage and evoked the memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his
Four Freedoms. She name-checked the last two Democrat presidents, Barack Obama and her husband, Bill Clinton.
Then she tried to set herself apart from them.
Clinton
choice of Roosevelt Island for kickoff rally sparks criticism. The island, named after
former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was chosen for the event because the Democratic
frontrunner's career has been inspired by Roosevelt's belief that "America is stronger when we
summon the work and talents of all Americans," according to a campaign official. And Clinton has
long considered former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt a role model, the campaign said. But critics
have raised a list of concerns including that the island is notoriously difficult to reach.
Is
It Just Me or Does Hillary Talk Like a Robot? Seriously, she does. Not only does she
pronounce the word "a" slowly and distinctly, like it's the answer to a multiple-choice question, without
linking it to the words before or after, and not only does she sometimes put little pauses between each
word ("it's ... America's ... basic ... bargain") or in inappropriate spots ("it's the same old ... song"),
but she often puts odd stresses on words, seemingly at random: "too many of our kids never learn as
they should"; "we see far more opportunities than threats"; "fight back against those who would drive us
apart." Toward the end of her speech she began to seem a bit more natural, but for most of it, she
sounded like a machine that had been programmed to synthesize speech and was still learning the fine points.
The Editor says...
There is a local news anchor here in Dallas who does the same thing — putting emphasis on
exactly THE most unimportant word IN every sentence.
Hillary
Clinton, the fightingest fighter in the fight. Whatever the differences between 1941
and 2015, Clinton decided that the Four Fights, which would be waged mostly with Republicans, would
be the centerpiece of her speech and campaign. "She wrote this speech herself," Clinton spokesman
Brian Fallon told CNN after the event. "This was very personal."
The Editor asks...
If she wrote it herself, why did it sound like she had never seen the script before?
Clinton's
launch speech to focus on her mother's life. After nearly two and a half decades in
the glare of the public spotlight, Hillary Clinton will reintroduce herself on Saturday by
highlighting her personal journey marked heavily by the deprivations faced by her own mother.
Starting with the story of her mother's abusive and traumatic childhood, Clinton will explain the
role her family played in making her an advocate for other people, campaign officials told POLITICO,
previewing the highly touted speech on New York's Roosevelt Island that will set the tone for the
rest of her campaign. (
Hillary
Clinton: America's Most Boring Public Speaker. Forget that she lies incessantly and stands for
virtually nothing that's discernible other than her own self-interest, Hillary Clinton is one of the most boring
public speakers extant. I have heard better speeches at high school, maybe even grammar school, graduations
than HRC gave in New York Saturday in the second — or is it the third — debut speech of her
campaign. It was problem after problem, cliché after cliché until you couldn't listen anymore.
Needless to say, there wasn't a fresh idea. No new solutions to these problems on offer, only generalities.
Hillary
Relaunch to Have 'Airport Style Security'. Security will be tight at Hillary Clinton's re-launch in
New York City. It will mimic "airport style security," according to an email from the campaign to people who
have registered for the event.
Here
Are the Clinton Campaign's Relaunch Talking Points. Earlier today [6/12/2015], the Hillary Clinton campaign
sent out a list of talking points for friends and allies to familiarize themselves with before tomorrow's campaign relaunch.
The talking points reveal that Bill and Chelsea Clinton are "expected to attend" but will not be speaking at tomorrow's event.
The event is considered sold out. And the next phase of the campaign will feature Hillary telling "her story."
Hillary
embarrassing herself with Roosevelt Island 're-launch' tomorrow. Hillary Clinton's campaign comprises a bunch of clueless
dolts, who don't understand symbolism at all. The choices they have made for tomorrow's event intended to bolster a flailing effort
are only digging her hole deeper. It will be far, far more difficult to attend Hillary Clinton's campaign "re-launch" tomorrow
[6/13/2015] than to vote for her, if she gets her way on voting.
Hillary hopes you'll
forget her awful campaign start. Almost exactly two months after Hillary Rodham Clinton's
official announcement that she's running for President, she will give her first "official campaign
announcement speech," on June 13, according to her Twitter account. In other words, the
Clinton campaign wants a do-over. Her first rollout was the most disastrous nonfatal presidential
campaign debut in modern memory, so she wants another.
Hillary announces her socialist economic agenda, July 13, 2015:
Hillary:
As President I Will Stop GOP's 'Mean-Spirited, Misguided Attacks' on Unions. Monday [7/13/2015]
at the New School in New York City, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said as president, she will stop
the "mean-spirited" Republican "misguided attacks" on unions, which she argued have helped to increase income inequality.
Hillary
Clinton Blames GOP for Everything in Economic Speech. Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton delivered an economic speech Monday morning [7/13/2015] in New York that
was full of empty sound bites and predictably blamed Republicans for all of America's economic woes,
ignoring any problems created by the current Democratic president, Barack Obama. In fact, her
speech was as remarkable for what Clinton didn't say as it was for what she did say. Just like
Obama, Clinton repeatedly pledged to pursue policies that increase costs both on businesses and on
wage earners, without any acknowledgment of the negative impacts caused by these policies.
Hillary
Clinton's 'new' economic agenda shouldn't fool anyone. It's just recycled rhetoric that hasn't
worked. Let's see: she wants more infrastructure spending, higher taxes on the foreign
earnings of U.S. Corporations and hedge fund managers, a higher minimum wage, new rules to make it
easier to form unions (card check), more child care subsidies, expanded paid medical leave for
workers, and renewable energy subsidies. Sound familiar? It's more taxes, more regulatory
burdens on employers, the green agenda, more government spending paid for with debt. One looks at
the list of leftist wish list priorities from yesteryear and wonders: Hillary, is this thin grool
really all you got?
Hillary
Clinton's Economy Speech. Former Secretary of State and U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton,
the presumptive Democratic Party nominee for president in 2016 laid out her proposed economic policy
in an address to the left-leaning New School for Social Research in New York on Monday [7/13/2015].
Billed as a policy that aims to "boost the middle class," Clinton offered a hodgepodge of policy platitudes
that differed little from Obama administration policies that she admits are not working.
Hillary
Clinton moves sharply to left, vows wage hikes, taxes on wealthy. Hillary Rodham
Clinton moved sharply to the left Monday, promising, if elected president, she would demand pay
raises for the working class, slap more taxes on the rich and increase government spending on a
litany of liberal programs. The proposals from the prohibitive favorite to be the Democratic
presidential nominee appeased the party's liberal base, who long have been skeptical of the
once-centrist Mrs. Clinton, and drew a stark contrast with Republicans, whose policies she blamed
for past economic downturns and growing income inequality.
Hillary
Clinton's Uber Speech Belongs in 1930s America. If he is smart, the eventual
Republican nominee will spend 2016 casting Clinton as the spirit animal of a washed-out and
intellectually bankrupt generation that belongs nowhere near the levers of power. If they are
really smart, the broader party will make this case broadly and perpetually — and
long after next year's election is over. All political movements are guilty of nostalgia, certainly.
But few of them refuse to acknowledge their sentimentality in quite the same way as does the wing of the
Democratic party to which Clinton is currently attempting to agglutinate herself.
Hillary's Trip
to 1948. Progressive" is a funny word, one that often means the opposite of what it
appears to mean. Hillary Rodham Clinton is a wanton and shameless trafficker in Nineties nostalgia,
but the odd fact is that she intends to be sworn in as president in 2017 with the Democratic platform from
1948: weaponizing the tax code for use against disfavored businesses while offering rich new subsidies
for compliant corporations, raising the minimum wage, aggrandizing the micromanagerial powers of the Department
of Labor, expanding our already insolvent entitlements, adding mightily to our zero-return "investments" in
government-school bureaucracies and dodgy energy programs, etc.
Hillary's
Tired, Demagogic Economic Proposals. Hillary Clinton is a walking, talking cliche who
spouts decades-old sound bites that were bad enough when her husband first delivered them but are
painfully anachronistic today. Same old material, same old demagoguery.
The rest of Hillary's platform, and the 2016 Democratic Party platform:
Hillary
Clinton and Gun Control. Hillary believes that Second Amendment proponents are a "minority" of people, and that
their viewpoint is "terrorizing" the American people. Hillary not only wants to make gun ownership illegal for many,
but would allow gun manufacturers to be sued by those who have been shot by a legally owned gun. This would include
those committing crimes on private property. Hillary said that the Supreme Court is wrong about the Second Amendment,
referring to District of Columbia v. Heller, which struck down the D.C. gun ban and ruled that individuals have
a fundamental right to gun ownership under the Second Amendment.
Hillary:
Impose Gun Control by Judicial Fiat. Hillary really, really, wants to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce
in Arms Act. The PLCAA essentially protects gun manufacturers and gun dealers from being sued unless, well, they have
done something wrong. It's a perfectly simple standard that would apply in any other field of human endeavor. The
reason for the PLCAA's enactment was simple. As law professor Timothy Lytton wrote, before PLCAA was enacted: "By
2000 gun litigation was regularly front-page news, and manufacturers faced potentially bankrupting industrywide liability
exposure as a result of suits by dozens of individual victims, over thirty cities, and the State of New York." These suits
were based upon various elaborations of the argument that "guns are used in crime, and so gun manufacturers should pay for
what criminals have done." Some sought to impose liability even where no one could prove what gun criminals had used:
the theory was that all gun makers should pay for all gun crime, in proportion to their annual production level.
I
Want a President Who Loves America, Part Trois. Well, here we are, a week to go before the presidential
election of 2016, and one thing is clear. One of the candidates snuggles up to the American flag when he does his
rallies and he tells us that he can Make America Great Again quickly, really quickly. And the other candidate?
Well, let us just say that she is not exactly celebrating the fundamental goodness of America. If I understand the
meaning of "Stronger Together" rightly, it means that unless we in the Coalition of the Fringes hang together we will hang
separately, what with the national menace of white-male locker-room talk and women all over America getting harassed by
billionaires and blacks getting shot by white policemen.
Black
faith leaders reproach Hillary Clinton on religious freedom as enthusiasm chills. On the 499th anniversary of
Martin Luther's 95 Theses, a group of black minsters is nailing a missive to the door of the Democratic Party demanding a
political reformation on the issues black people care about. Delivered to Hillary Clinton's campaign headquarters on
Monday [10/31/2016], the blistering letter is signed by more than 25 interdenominational black bishops and pastors, and finds fault
with the Democratic presidential nominee's lackluster commitment to religious liberty, wholesale adoption of the LGBT movement's
agenda and uncompromising support for abortion rights.
Vote
Republican to keep the lights on. The U.S. is now the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas, despite
President Obama's costly energy regulations. Hillary Clinton is campaigning for the presidency not by celebrating the
shale extraction that has made us less dependent on energy from parts of the world hostile to America. Rather, she
focuses on renewable energy, claiming that it can supply a third of electricity needs. Where Obama talked about an "all
of the above" energy policy, Clinton focuses on "clean energy" with a $60 billion Clean Energy Challenge aimed at expanding
the role of renewables, such as wind and solar power. She has pledged to cut oil consumption by a third and generate
enough from renewable sources to power every home in the country.
Hillary
Pushes for Highest Death Tax in the Developed World. What many don't know is that the U.S. already has an
extremely high death tax: The 4th highest among OECD countries. If Clinton succeeds in pushing the Death Tax up
to a 65 percent rate this would place the United States squarely at the top of the list. The Left always pushes the
argument in favor of the estate tax is always about "the rich kids that never worked for their money are given an unfair
start." However, new research on the so-called 1 percenters shows that these "rich kids" are an extremely small part
of an already extremely small group. Most people in America that get rich don't inherit it at all but work for it their
entire lives.
Report:
Hillary Clinton Would Ban 'Some of the Most Popular' Firearms in America. A report by the Washington
Times confirms Hillary Clinton would ban "some of the most popular" firearms in America if elected to the White
House. Moreover, the report shows she would chip away at the Second Amendment with myriad new gun control laws
and regulations.
Hispanic
Pastor: Hillary Clinton's Pro-Abortion Position Worse Than Donald Trump's Border Wall. The Rev. Samuel Rodriguez urged
his fellow Hispanics in America to consider Hillary Clinton's radical pro-abortion position before voting in November. Rodriguez, a
strong pro-life advocate in the Hispanic American community and the president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference,
emailed supporters Monday [10/24/2016] to explain how extreme Clinton's abortion policies are, the Christian Post reports.
Hillary
Clinton Is The Greatest Threat to the Second Amendment Ever. Law-abiding gun owners are preparing for what the
Founding Fathers warned us about: a tyrannical government that is out to limit our Constitutional rights. We're
stocking up on our guns and ammo, and not without good reason.
Clinton
and Trump couldn't be further apart on abortion. From the very first moments of the final presidential debate,
the choice on life could not have been clearer. Hillary Clinton budged not an inch — not a single
baby — from her extreme stance on abortion, and Donald Trump stood firm on his pro-life commitments. The
contrast was dramatic. For the first time, thanks to the persistence of moderator Chris Wallace (whose father Mike,
years ago, memorably interviewed an aging and bitter Margaret Sanger), Hillary Clinton was pressed on her position that there
is not one circumstance in which she would protect the human right to life of an unborn child — even a child
moments from birth.
Hillary
Clinton: "Reasonable" to Require Guns to be Unusable at Home. The candidate who claimed politicians "need
both a public and a private position" on policy issues demonstrated that tendency Wednesday night in the final presidential
debate in a desperate bid for damage control on a statement she made in a private meeting with wealthy donors. That
earlier statement was simple, uncomplicated, and utterly damning to anyone who believes in the Second Amendment.
Hillary Clinton told the very people who she depends on to fund her political ambitions: "the Supreme Court is wrong
on the Second Amendment. And I am going to make that case every chance I get." As a Yale-educated attorney, Clinton
knew exactly what she was saying when she made that remark. But it doesn't take a lawyer to understand the contempt it
demonstrates for the right to keep and bear arms.
Hillary
Can't Even Tell The Truth About Her Own Economic Plan. Debate moderator Chris Wallace was widely praised for
his performance in Wednesday night's debate, praise that he richly deserves if for no other reason than that he finally
forced Hillary Clinton to defend her economic plan. Clinton's response was incoherent and downright dishonest. A
key exchange in the debate came when Wallace pressed Clinton to explain how her economic proposals were different from
President Obama's failed stimulus plan. She couldn't.
No
Fact-Checkers Can Cover For Hillary Clinton's Ghastly Abortion Views. As Hillary put it when pressed on late-term abortions,
"there can be restrictions in the very end of the third trimester," but this is clearly a cowardly and meaningless evasion: Clinton
carefully avoiding saying there should be restrictions at the very end of the third trimester. She also asserted the restrictions
have to take into account "the life and health of the mother," but as abortion activist Ron Fitzsimmons demonstrated years ago, late-term
abortions were performed with great frequency on "healthy women bearing healthy fetuses." This is how abortion "exceptions" generally
work. The "health of the mother" is broadened to cover just about every possible consideration, and it becomes an effectively toothless
qualifier. Hillary knows this.
The
5 Most Outrageous Hillary Clinton Lies From The Last Debate. [#2] Hillary Does Not Support Any Limits on Abortion:
Let's move to the only constitutional "right" Hillary believes shouldn't have any constraints: abortion. Last night, Clinton
reiterated her support for legal abortion on demand for any reason through the entire pregnancy. [...] While one hopes pro-lifers remain
sensitive to the heartbreaking, painful decisions women make, Hillary's insinuation that most late-term abortions are to save the life
of the mother is not backed up by evidence. Abortionist Leroy Carhart was taped admitting that he often performs elective
late-term abortions at 26 weeks "or more." Martin Haskell, the pioneer of partial-birth abortion, was once taped acknowledging
that 80 percent of abortions after 20 weeks were "purely elective." The evidence comports with Haskell's claim.
Hillary
Clinton embraces George Soros' 'radical' vision of open-border world. Hillary Clinton has aligned herself closely with a
vision for America laid out by her benefactor — left-wing financier George Soros, who talks of "international governance,"
more open borders, increased Muslim immigration and diminished U.S. global power. The phrase "American exceptionalism" is not part
of his agenda. He wrote in 1998: "The sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international
institutions." "We need some global system of political decision-making. In short, we need a global society to support our
global economy," Mr. Soros wrote.
Leaked
Audio: Hillary Says Americans Have No Right To Bear Arms. It is well known that Hillary Clinton does not
support the Second Amendment. This is why the 2016 presidential election is so critical to our country, and maintaining
our Constitutional right to bear arms. In 2014, CNN held a town hall style interview with Hillary. Part of her
talking points included claims that those who support the Second Amendment and gun rights are in the minority. She also
declared that gun owners are terrorizing Americans.
What
this campaign is really all about: If elected, Clinton will finish the economic redistribution Obama started. The political
firestorms of the past week — the 2005 tape of Donald Trump uttering crass statements about women, WikiLeaks' disclosure of thousands
of Hillary Clinton's emails revealing her two-faced hypocrisy, the appearance at the second presidential debate of several women who have accused
Bill Clinton of rape and sexual assault, Mr. Trump's comeback debate performance — have obscured one critically important truth.
Hillary Clinton is seeking the Democrats' third term in the presidency. It's not, however, her husband's third term. It's President
Obama's. She routinely praises Mr. Obama and his economic stewardship while embracing his radical, far-left approach that drives the
party she now seeks to lead.
Hillary's Abortion Doctor. There is nothing
more sacrosanct to Hillary Clinton than a "woman's right to choose." It is her alpha and omega, beyond doubt her highest priority.
I wrote an entire book on the faith of Hillary Clinton, and the one thing that struck me above all else, from start to finish, was her absolute
fealty to Roe v. Wade. It is Hillary's hill to die on. I believe Hillary Clinton would give her life for Roe v. Wade.
Study:
Clinton's tax hikes would kill 700,000 jobs. Hillary Clinton's tax plan would raise hundreds of billions of
dollars from the wealthy, but would hamstring economic growth and prevent the creation of nearly 700,000 jobs over the next
decade, according to a new analysis released Wednesday [10/12/2016]. The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank in
Washington, published a score of Clinton's plans for tax policy that found that it would would raise taxes by $1.4 trillion
over the next 10 years, under a static analysis that assumes nothing else changes. That revenue would come from new
taxes on high earners, a higher tax rate on multi-million dollar incomes, and new estate taxes. But because those tax
hikes would decrease the incentives to work, invest, and save, the group found, the Democrat's tax proposals would slow
economic growth.
Hillary's
trying to make the election a referendum on political correctness. Voters' top concerns are the stagnant economy and the threat of
terrorism, but you wouldn't know it from Hillary Clinton's TV ads or campaign speeches. She's trying to twist the presidential race into a
referendum on political correctness.
Will
Hillary explain her dream of 'open borders'? "My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open
borders, sometime in the future with energy that's as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity
for every person in the hemisphere," Clinton reportedly said to investors in a paid speech she gave to Brazilian Banco Itau
in 2013. Here's the thing about borders. If you don't have borders, you don't have a country. Americans are
beginning to understand this. Europeans understand it now, quite clearly.
Hillary
And 'Undocumented' Aliens. Politicians, pollsters and pundits who are advocates for open borders and the
creation of immigration anarchy seek to minimize the true significance of aliens entering the United States without
inspection and, of critical importance in this particularly perilous era, without vetting. Their strategy to deceive
Americans is to employ the equivalent excuse of the dog eating homework by saying that these illegal aliens entered the
United States "without documentation," thus shifting attention from the fact that millions of aliens entered the United
States stealthily, without inspection. This is the strategy of Hillary Clinton and her immigration anarchy accomplices.
Most
Americans Think Government's Too Big, So Why Are They Backing Hillary? For more than two decades, Gallup has
been asking the public whether the "government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and
businesses" or "should do more to solve our country's problems." Its latest poll shows that 54% agree with the former,
while just 41% agree with the latter. If you look at the long-term trend, this is one of the most consistent findings
you will see in national polling.
Trump
and the Surrender Caucus of the GOP. Keep your eye on the ball: The Agenda and the Power to enact
it. When you take your eye off that, you will lose to those who never do. Religious people, evangelicals,
Mormons, middle and upper middle class suburban women, all take note. Yours will be the greatest losses if the Left
returns to power for eight more years.

Statements Leaked From Hillary Clinton's Private Speeches That Should Derail Her 2016 Campaign. [For example,]
"My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as
green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere." [05162013
Remarks to Banco Itau. doc, p. 28]
Acting
DNC Head Donna Brazile Urges Employees Not to Read Hacked Clinton Emails. Acting head of the Democratic
National Committee Donna Brazile said Sunday [10/9/2016] that she urged every DNC employee not to read the hacked Hillary
Clinton campaign emails released by WikiLeaks Friday, because they were "postmarked from Russia." ABC's George
Stephanopoulos asked Brazile about one of the most damaging revelations, that Clinton allegedly told a group of Brazilian
bankers in a paid speech that her "dream" was to implement "open borders and open markets." But Brazile responded by
chastising the This Week host for even reading it. "George, when you see something postmarked from Russia,
you should be afraid to open up the document," she said.
The Editor says...
Notice that the DNC isn't denying the substance of the emails, but is instead discouraging its employees from knowing the truth.
The Editor says...
This is what happens when a person has no moral foundation: He or she goes in search of advice on the safest
public position to adopt. The foolish man's house is built upon the sand.
Wikileaks
Release: Hillary Clinton Press Sec Says Gun Control to Be Implemented by Executive Order. The batch of
emails released by Wikileaks on October 7 includes one in which Hillary Clinton press secretary Brian Fallon explained that
Clinton "would support... closing the gun show loophole by executive order." Fallon also highlighted Clinton's support of
universal background checks — which have already failed in California, Colorado, Washington state, and Paris —
and her support for a scenario wherein victims of crime would be able to sue gun manufacturers.
A Banana Republic, If We Choose to Keep It.
Hillary Clinton, along with countless other leftists, wants to overturn the Supreme Court verdict in DC v. Heller that affirmed an
individual American's right to own firearms. In the meantime, leftist governments, highlighted by efforts in Seattle and Chicago,
are imposing taxes on bullets and guns in a transparent effort to make both as unaffordable as possible. Voting for the
status quo will keep all of these efforts ongoing.
Hillary the
Abnormal. While Trump is following in the footsteps of JFK and Ronald Reagan, Hillary is a fawning admirer of
government by the politicians, for the politicians, and of the politicians. Hillary is also the first presidential
candidate to tell churches what they should or shouldn't believe in. According to the Gospel of Hillary abortion is a
sacrament. She's all for forcing nuns who dedicate their lives to helping the poor to pay for abortions, and she's
enthused about making five-year-old girls share the washroom with 40-year-old bearded men who say they think they're really
women. While most Americans who do support abortion support it only in cases of rape, or to protect the life of the
mother and then only in the first trimester Hillary supports abortion up until the instant of birth for any reason.
Hillary is also quite comfortable with Planned Parenthood profiting by selling baby parts.
What's
Scary, Scarier, and Scariest about Hillary. [Scroll down] But scarier is her pledge to create five
million new jobs. Because she doesn't mean what it sounds like she means. Hillary Clinton is not going invent a
new industry like computers and produce her five million jobs that way. She's not going to found a new Internet
business like Jeff Bezos or a new retail chain like Sam Walton. She doesn't have the I.Q., training or motivation for
anything like that. Instead what she's talking about is: (A) creating new government jobs; or (B) creating
new jobs with lobbyists and influence peddlers, the Public-Private-Partnership grifters who fund her political machine.
Guys whose sons and daughters run companies who insist they can make jet fuel out of algae or better knock-off Chinese solar
panels if only they get stuffed with enough Federal cash. In other words, bad jobs. Jobs which, whether in
government or in corrupt private entities, consume wealth rather than create it.
Hillary Clinton Promises
to be Much Harder on Federal Marijuana Laws. Donald Trump has gained the lead in Colorado after Hillary Clinton
promised to be harder on marijuana laws. At a recent rally, Chelsea Clinton said that her mother would invoke tougher
federal laws on marijuana. This is a major upset for the Clinton campaign as they struggle to get the millennial
vote. Per usual with Hillary Clinton, money comes first. When given money by the alcohol industry, it's very
clear that we'll never see weed decriminalized or completely legalized under a Clinton presidency.
Clinton
proposes 5 million-member 'national service reserve' project. Pledging to make public service a hallmark of her would-be
administration, Democrat Hillary Clinton proposed Friday [9/30/2016] a 5 million-member "national service reserve" project that
would train Americans to respond to natural disasters, health emergencies and other crises. The program, Mrs. Clinton said,
would allow citizens to continue working in their full-time jobs but essentially would put them on call if state or local governments
need more bodies.
Hillary's
Red Army March of Tax-Hike Destruction. [Scroll down] Let me pull out my list of Clinton tax hikes: a
$350 billion income tax increase in the form of a 28-percent cap on itemized deductions (without lowering personal tax
rates); a more-than $400 billion "fairness" tax hike in the form of a 4 percent "surcharge" on high-end earners; and the
"Buffet rule," which would establish a 30-percent minimum tax on earners with adjusted gross incomes over $1 million.
Clinton also proposes increasing the estate tax rate to a range of 45 to 65 percent and reducing the exemption to
$3.5 million. Remember, estate taxes are already hit once by the income tax, and again by the capital-gains tax. Here,
Clinton would end the stepped-up capital gains tax basis and instead value the gain all the way back to the initial transaction.
Hillary
Clinton's Agenda: Abortion a "Fundamental Human Right" Paid for at Your Expense. On September 30, 1976, a
Congress controlled overwhelmingly by Democrats passed legislation that for the first time prohibited federal Medicaid funds
from being used to pay for abortion, except in cases in which the mother's life was in danger. The Hyde Amendment, named
for its author, Illinois congressman Henry Hyde, was signed by President Jimmy Carter the following year and survived a later
challenge to its constitutionality, in 1980. It has been renewed (with the later addition of an exception for cases of
rape and incest) by every Congress — and signed by every president — for the past 40 years.
Hillary
Clinton proposes capping childcare costs at 10% of income. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton
highlighted her call to cap the cost of childcare at 10 percent of parents' income in an op-ed in Fortune magazine published
Thursday [9/29/2016]. Clinton said the cap would be made possible "by making historic investments in childcare assistance
and providing tax relief to working families."
Government
Can't Do It. After Monday's debate, one thing remains crystal clear: Secretary Clinton believes that
government can create the benefits of economic growth without any actual economic growth.
Trump
And Clinton Debated, But It's The Nation That Lost. As we have noted in this space many times, Clinton wants to impose tax
hikes and spending increases that even Barack Obama didn't dare advocate. Even economists who support her liberal policies admit that
despite her $1.5 trillion in tax hikes, she would still add $800 billion to the nation's already out-of-control deficits.
Clinton wants to push the country further toward socialized medicine, block access to the nation's energy abundance and spend massively on
already failed government programs. Make no mistake, if Clinton wins, she will be able to claim a mandate for this extremist agenda.
Yes, a Trump presidency would come with many uncertainties. But at least he has some genuine pro-growth policies and a businessman's
understanding of what works. A Clinton presidency will be a guaranteed disaster.
Clinton
offers Temple students debt relief, urges them to vote. Hillary Clinton, campaigning Monday at Temple
University, told college students — many of whom are drowning in debt — that she's the candidate to address their needs.
[...] Clinton told the crowd of 300 at Mitten Hall that she has a plan that would offer debt-free public college for
everyone, apprentice programs for those who opt to not go to college, and high-quality child care for every family.
The pitch was part of her campaign's push to get millennials involved and committed to voting for her in November.
Tim
Kaine on Gun Control: "I Can't Think of an Issue I'd Rather be Aligned With Than This". In May 2000, Tim
Kaine, then-mayor of Richmond, Va., used more than $6,000 in public funds to charter eight buses. The buses were used
to transport city residents from Richmond to the anti-gun, and inaccurately named, Million Mom March in Washington, D.C.
The Million Mom March was sponsored and organized by extremist gun control organization the Bell Campaign, which was later
renamed the Million Mom March Foundation. The Bell Campaign supported a litany of gun control measures, including gun
rationing, a ban on the possession of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and their magazines, firearm owner licensing,
and gun registration. In regards to the right to keep and bear arms, the Bell Campaign contended, "The Second Amendment
does not, and never did, protect the private ownership of guns for private purposes." Following a public outcry over the
use of public funds for political purposes, including criticism from Richmond City Council members, Kaine was forced to seek
private funds to reimburse the city.
10
Examples of How Extreme Hillary Clinton is on Abortion. As our readers know, it is nearly impossible to
exaggerate how far to port Hillary Clinton is on abortion, how all-encompassing is her embrace of the ideology of the most
militant fringe of the abortion movement. As a service to NRL News Today readers we are updating a post
summarizing Ten Ways Clinton has freely expressed her undying devotion to abortion on demand, at home and aboard, paid for
by American taxpayers.
Think
Obamacare Is Broken Now? Wait Till Hillary 'Fixes' It. Hillary Clinton frequently says that, as
president, she will "build on the successes of the Affordable Care Act." If you are among the 54 percent of Obamacare
enrollees who hate their coverage, or belong to the majority of Americans who want the law repealed, or are merely one of the
millions whose out-of-pocket health care costs have skyrocketed, you might wonder, "What successes?"
NeverTrumps
and the End of America as We Know It. The election of Hillary Clinton would mean final defeat for American
conservativism — for at least a generation and almost certainly for much longer than that. [...] The US Supreme
Court will become a five vote rubber stamp for the Left immediately upon Clinton's appointment of Justice Scalia's
replacement. That majority will be sustained or enlarged by whatever further vacancies come Clinton's way. So,
adding it all up, the number of new future statist client voters after Clinton will be in the neighborhood of 26-38 million:
11-20 million amnestied illegals; 12 million new, almost exclusively third world, statist voting legal immigrants; and
another 4-6 million newly arrived illegals. With the full power of the federal executive branch in their hands, and no
opposition from an increasingly partisan federal judiciary and Supreme Court, the re-empowered Left will move its newly chosen
voters around as it chooses — to the states where their voting presence will have the greatest effect.
Capitalism
Works If Government Would Just Get Out of the Way! [Scroll down] And Hillary Clinton is no less ideologically aligned with socialistic
solutions. A disciple of Saul Alinsky, and the first architect of a socialized healthcare system for the U.S., she has made some
brash statements over the years that reveal her ideological convictions. Among her many anti-capitalist statements are these nuggets.
"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good," (6/29/04). "It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government
of the few, by the few, and for the few and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity," (5/29/07). "(We) ... can't
just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people," (6/4/07). "I certainly think the
free-market has failed," (6/4/07). The brilliant economist, Thomas Sowell, has philosophically put the failed socialist ideology into
proper perspective. "I have never understood why it is 'greed' to want to keep the money you've earned, but not greed to want to take
somebody else's money."
Hillary's
Race War. Hillary Clinton has met with leaders of a racist hate group responsible for torching cities and
inciting the murders of police officers. Deray McKesson, one of the Black Lives Matter hate group leaders she met with,
had praised the looting of white people and endorsed cop killers Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu-Jamal. The Black Lives
Matter hate group had specifically made a point of targeting white people in "white spaces" for harassment. It would go
on to incite the mass murder of police officers in Dallas and other racist atrocities. Despite all this, Hillary
Clinton has never disavowed the racist hate group. Instead she doubled down on supporting the hate group and its icons
at the Democratic National Convention. Now, after Trump's appeal to the black community, Hillary is desperately trying
to divide us by race.
Expert:
Hillary Clinton 'Doesn't Get' Death Tax; It Hurts Regular People More than Billionaires. Steve Moore, an
advisor on Donald Trump's tax plan and a distinguished visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation's Institute for Economic
Freedom and Opportunity, laughed at Hillary Clinton's charge that Trump's plan to terminate the federal estate
tax — also called the death tax — would save his family $4 billion dollars. "She says we're
going to get $4 billion from Donald Trump on the death tax? No you're not, you're not going to get anywhere near
that," he chuckled, dismissing the claim Clinton made while campaigning in Ohio on Wednesday [8/17/2016]. "The people
who tend to get killed by the death tax are not people like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Donald Trump — they
have tax advisors."
Hillary Unhinged.
It's all so maladroit and ham-handed that it would be laughable if not for the stakes: Clinton's strategy for
distracting attention from her corruption and incompetence, so that she can win the White House, is an all-out attempt to
re-start the Cold War (at the risk of one or more very hot wars) and resurrect Joe McCarthy between now and November.
And it just might work. No, I can't bring myself to support Donald Trump. But it's getting harder and harder to
peg him as the distinctively harebrained, irresponsible, unhinged one in the race.
Here's
How "President Hillary" Will Destroy Your Gun Rights Without Repealing The Second Amendment. Hillary Clinton is
running the first presidential campaign in the history of the United States based explicitly on the gutting of a core
Constitutional and human right. Clinton has made attacking the human right of self-defense a key part of her 2016
campaign, and if she's elected — and down-ballot Democrats manage to take control of the Senate and/or
House — she's poised to be able to destroy the gun rights of American citizens in three distinct ways.
• Place progressive, anti-gun justices on the Supreme Court • Pass bans on a wide range of
common firearms • repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA)
Promising More
of Everything — Except for Growth. Hillary Clinton recently laid out her plan for the economy, which
boils down to more government, more spending, more taxes, more regulations and more red tape. It translates into more
debt and less growth. Some of the most outrageous provisions of her plan are those that target U.S. corporations
abroad. To be fair, Clinton's policies are very similar to those of President Barack Obama. They both want to
prevent U.S. companies from leaving the country through a process called inversion. They both also fundamentally
misunderstand the reasons behind inversions and try to fix the perceived problem by treating the symptoms rather than
the causes.
Christians in Hillary's Crosshairs.
Underpinning Hillary Clinton's political philosophy is a coercive secularism that eliminates conservative Christians from public life.
Should she win, she will not only force Christians to pay for contraceptives but also abortions. She will treat their schools and
churches as the equivalent of Bob Jones University. She will court-martial chaplains and soldiers who don't submit to her LGBT
agenda. In effect, a governmental boycott will fall on all Christian institutions that do not conform to Hillary's secularist
fiats. Churches that don't marry homosexuals will suffer the kind of governmental ostracizing the Boy Scouts faced until they knuckled
under to political correctness. In Obama's "fundamentally transformed" America, traditional Judeo-Christian morality is defined as
"un-American." The counterculture has become the culture. Flag-burners have become patriots. Defenders of cop-killers
"reform" police departments. Heretics run churches. And government becomes God.
The Changing Faith of
Hillary Clinton. When many conservatives first learned back in 2007 that I had the temerity to write a book on
the faith of Hillary Clinton, especially after books on the faiths of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, they looked at me
with a mix of amazement and annoyance. Why would you do that? [...] In the time since that book was published,
Clinton has completely ditched her defense of marriage, becoming gung ho not only for same-sex "marriage" but much of the
"LGBTQ" agenda, which has become a major thrust of her presidential campaign. Moreover, her abortion extremism has only
gotten worse — and that's really saying something. Hillary Clinton has plainly become a "pro-choice"
fanatic. Her support of abortion and — conversely — vilification of pro-lifers, is way
over-the-top. She has flown off the hinges. In the process, her onetime championing of religious freedom
has been devoured by her devotion to the rabid pro-choice cause.
Hillary's
Big Economic Plan is an Embarrassing Display of Leftist Ignorance. It was a powerful-sounding speech, promising
to solve everyone's problems and the problems that had never occurred to them. Jobs, lots of them, how? —
Infrastructure! Why is it always infrastructure? If you remember, Obama was going to create all sorts of jobs in
Infrastructure — "crumbling roads and bridges" — all sorts of promises of what they were going to do,
and eventually Obama admitted that there didn't seem to actually be any "shovel-ready jobs." [...] Construction jobs are
temporary. That's why Obama said there weren't any "shovel-ready jobs." We went through all this before, but
Hillary wasn't paying attention, or else she doesn't care because it sounds good.
Hillary
Clinton's Pro-Abortion Extremism, in Her Own Words, in Just 57 Seconds. I write for a living, but I thoroughly
understand the power of visuals — to educate, to motive, and often to enchant. And to terrify. A
couple of days ago Gary Bauer's American Values Action PAC released a YouTube video that in a mere 57 seconds encapsulates
why Hillary Clinton is (by anyone's definition not on the abortion industry's payroll) an abortion extremist. These are
Clinton's own words and they are not taken out of context.
Hillary
Would Give Us a Disastrous Third Obama Term. Democrats simply can't be honest about economic policy. They
have to demonize the wealthy to incite class warfare. They must perpetuate and expand government dependency programs,
which means creating incentives for people to remain out of the work force. They must vilify the rich for not paying
their fair share of taxes, despite the undeniable fact that upper-income earners pay far more taxes — actual and
percentage — and that the lower half of income earners pay no income taxes at all. How much "fairer" can
it be for them?
Hillary
Clinton's Economic Plan: Tax-And-Spend With A Vengeance. Hillary Clinton has big plans for the economy if
she's elected president, as she made clear in her speech in economically troubled Warren, Mich., on Thursday. It's too
bad that her big plans involve only big spending and big taxes, which will produce little if any economic growth.
Clinton's speech was framed around four questions. Which candidate has a plan to create good jobs? Who will
ensure the top pay their "fair share" of taxes? Who will go to bat for families? And who can deliver
results? But her answer to every question was the same: more government spending, more government mandates and
regulations, and higher taxes on businesses and investors. Indeed, in 30 minutes she managed to pack in a
huge number of new government programs.
Lies politicians
tell. [Scroll down] Hillary Clinton flip-flops, too. She was for trade pacts, but she's now against
them; against gay marriage, now for it; for the Iraq war, now against it. Clinton lies even more than Trump. She
lies about her emails, running from sniper fire, making $100,000 from a $1,000 investment in cattle futures, etc. This
column doesn't have room for all her lies. But with Clinton, too, it's not the lies that will do the most damage, it's
the policies she'll push — higher taxes, involvement in more foreign wars, endless regulation that will stop
innovation. Most of the time, the danger isn't politicians' personal corruption. The real cost to our prosperity
and freedom comes from what the politicians do legally.
NRA
hits 'hypocrite' Clinton in new TV ad. The National Rifle Association's political arm debuted a new TV ad
Wednesday that depicts Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as a wealthy and powerful elite who is protected by armed guards
while opposing gun rights for average Americans. "An out of touch hypocrite — she'll leave you defenseless,"
says the male narrator in the ad. The 30-second spot titled "Defenseless" shows a woman resembling Mrs. Clinton
being whisked in a black SUV to a private jet, where machine-gun toting guards stand watch her as she crosses the tarmac.
Communist Party Unites
Behind Hillary. The Communist Party USA may not control many actual votes, but what they lack in support is
made up for in enthusiasm. That passion was in full display with a seven-person team of "reporters" covering their
national political convention last month. And their convention was the Democratic National Convention that
nominated Hillary Rodham Clinton as their undisputed candidate for president of the United States.
The
infrastructure illusion. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump don't agree on much of anything, but there is one
area where they have a meeting of the minds: they both want to spend way more on public works programs. Hillary Clinton
says that her primary jobs stimulus will be a massive $275 billion-plus infrastructure spending binge. Donald Trump
one-upped Hillary last week promising to spend twice that amount. He says the money is necessary because of crumbling
roads and "bridges that are falling down." It's a rare source of agreement, so wouldn't you know it: they're both wrong.
How
Hillary's Big Ideas Will Bankrupt The Nation. [Hillary] Clinton has left the campaign trail littered with her
ideas for bigger government and has proposed major increases in taxes to pay for it in part. A new report from the
center-right American Action Forum says that 13 major new spending proposals from Clinton would "have a dramatic effect on
the federal budget." How dramatic? The AAF says that Clinton's various plans would boost taxes by $1.3 trillion
over the next decade, but it would grow spending by an even larger $3.5 trillion. That's an added $2.2 trillion
in deficits for the next 10 years.
Report:
Hillary Clinton would hike taxes by $1.3 trillion. Hillary Clinton comes up $2.2 trillion short in paying for
her policy agenda, despite hiking taxes by $1.3 trillion, according to a new analysis of the Democratic nominee's campaign
platform. The American Action Forum, a center-right policy institute, released a report Thursday [8/4/2016] finding Clinton's
domestic agenda would "have a dramatic effect on the federal budget." Gordon Gray, American Action Forum's director of fiscal
policy, based the report on estimates of policy proposals from the Clinton campaign itself, as well as independent analyses from the
Tax Policy Center and the Center for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Hillary
Promises 'We Are Going To Raise Taxes On The Middle Class'. Speaking at a campaign rally Tuesday in Nebraska
with billionaire Warren Buffett, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton attacked Donald Trump for wanting to "cut taxes
for the super-rich." She then followed up by promising she would "raise taxes on the middle class." "Trump wants to
cut taxes for the super-rich," Clinton told the jeering crowd. "Well we're not going there, my friends. I'm telling you
right now, we're going to write fairer rules for the middle class and we are going to raise taxes on the middle class!" The
crowd cheered and Clinton appeared unaware of her Freudian slip.
The
biggest speech of Hillary's life was an uninspired wish list. In his emotional speech Wednesday [7/27/2016], President
Obama promised that "we're going to carry Hillary to victory." To judge from Clinton's performance last night, being carried
by the party is the only way she's going to get there. Instead of giving the speech of her life on the biggest night of her
life, Clinton delivered an uninspired and uninspiring wish list of all the things she and other Democrats would get Washington
to do. Big things, little things, everything. Her core principle, if it can be called a principle, is that government
is here to take charge, making her theme of "stronger together" suddenly seem like a warning that her main goal is building an
all-consuming federal bureaucracy.
Clinton's
risky embrace of Obama. On the same week that a Catholic priest was slaughtered by Islamic militants on a
church altar in northern France, the Democrats made love the theme of their nominating convention in Philadelphia. It's
a nice sentiment, but it won't get Hillary Clinton elected the next president. Clinton's image problems are well
known. Voters don't like her, and they think she's dishonest. For the first time, according to a new Gallup poll,
Clinton's unfavorable ratings match Donald Trump's at 58 percent. Her convention speech is not going to fix
things. She needs a new plan.
Hillary Calls for
$350 Billion Student Loan Tax Hike. Another program, another tax hike. Hillary Clinton today proposed a
$350 billion tax increase as part of a "New College Compact" spending program. The $350 billion tax hike over ten
years comes in the form of a 28 percent cap on itemized deductions. This creates a new Alternative Minimum Tax.
Full List of Hillary's Planned
Tax Hikes. [Scroll down] Hillary's formally proposed $1 trillion net tax increase consists of the
following: [#1] Income Tax Increase — $350 Billion: Clinton has proposed a $350 billion
income tax hike in the form of a 28 percent cap on itemized deductions. [#2] Business Tax Increase —
$275 Billion: Clinton has called for a tax hike of at least $275 billion through undefined business tax reform,
as described in a Clinton campaign document. [#3] "Fairness" Tax Increase — $400 Billion:
According to her published plan, Clinton has called for a tax increase of "between $400 and $500 billion" by "restoring
basic fairness to our tax code." These proposals include a "fair share surcharge," the taxing of carried interest capital
gains as ordinary income, and a hike in the Death Tax. But there are even more Clinton tax hike proposals not included in
the tally above. Her campaign has failed to release specific details for many of her proposals. The true Clinton net
tax hike figure is likely much higher than $1 trillion.
Clinton Trying To
Run Away From "The Sanders Manifesto". Hillary Clinton can try to run and hide from the radical ideas proposed
in the democrat Platform, but her policies proposals confirm her full embrace of the "The Sanders Manifesto," which declares
war on small business and threatens millions jobs across the country. Last night [7/19/2016], in an interview with
CBS's Charlie Rose, Clinton ridiculously claimed that her policies and the policies of her Party had not shifted to the left,
even though Socialist Bernie Sanders called the democrat Platform "the most progressive platform ever." Clinton's laughable
argument that the democrat Party is the party of the "center-left" couldn't be more untrue. [Video clip]
Clinton VP
announces insane illegals plan. It seems Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine wants to waste as little time as
possible before reaching deep into tax payer pockets. Kaine was named the vice presidential candidate of presumptive
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over the weekend. Just days later, he's announced his priority for the
first 100 days of the Clinton administration — give citizenship across the board to every single illegal immigrant
in the United States. And it would cost taxpayers big time.
Tim
Kaine promises bill to legalize illegal immigrants in 'first 100 days'. A new Clinton administration would
pursue a bill to legalize illegal immigrants in "the first 100 days" of her tenure, vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine
told Spanish-language network Telemundo in an interview Monday [7/25/2016], presenting a deep contrast with Republicans.
Mr. Kaine also predicted that House Republicans, who stopped President Obama's last bid for legalization in 2013, will
reverse themselves next year and said House Speaker Paul D. Ryan will lead the GOP to embrace legalization.
As
Obamacare Fails, Hillary Wants to Expand It. It doesn't matter that Obamacare — aka the Unaffordable
Care and Patient Deflection Act — has been an expensive, immoral disaster. What counts, according to the
Left, is that it has made "care" (actually, an overpriced form of coerced insurance "coverage") more "available." But
as taxpayer-funded state "co-ops" continue to collapse across the country, what's needed is... expansion!
Hillary
Clinton: Illegal Immigrants Taking Jobs Away From Some Americans. Hillary Clinton said in an interview
with Vox published Monday that illegal immigration is a problem for the United States because some undocumented workers are
taking jobs from Americans, causing serious anxiety in the country. Clinton at first appeared to downplay the idea that
Americans lose jobs to illegal immigrants before saying that for many people it's a real problem.
The Editor says...
On the contrary, global warming is probably the most inconsequential "problem" the world has ever had, mainly because it stopped, all by itself, several years ago.
And even if the world is gradually warming, there is no reason to believe such warming is mostly caused by human activity rather than by sunlight. And even if global
warming is mostly the result of the combustion of hydrocarbons, there is no solution other than to shut down all industrial activity and automobile traffic. I think
the best solution — and certainly the lowest cost solution — is to do nothing about it and let nature take its course.
Hillary
Goes Full Bernie: Calls For Free College For Almost All Students. Hillary Clinton has lurched leftward on
college education, releasing a new plan that calls for all families earning less than $125,000 to receive free tuition at
public colleges. She credits the shift to the influence of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and it's almost certainly
intended to consolidate support from Sanders backers. Previously, Clinton's plan had focused on making public college
"debt-free" while still requiring students from middle income families to pay at least some tuition. Now, though,
Clinton wants the majority of students to pay nothing at all.
Hillary
Clinton: 'Let's Set the Goal of Making College Debt-Free for Everyone'. Democrat Hillary Clinton told a
campaign rally in Cincinnati, Ohio on Monday that she wants to "make it right" for "hard-working Americans," including
debt-burdened college students. "Let's set the goal of making college debt-free for everyone," Clinton said, without
giving details.
The Editor says...
In this case, "debt-free" just means "free." She wants the government to provide free college education indoctrination
for all. Naturally there will be several strings attached, but she hasn't mentioned those details.
Hillary's 'economy'
attack is hopeless. Hillary Clinton is known for her shameless hypocrisy, but her broadside Tuesday [6/21/2016]
against Donald Trump was over the top — even for her. Start with the fact that, while her whole point was to
slam Trump's economic plans, she kicked it off by lauding — yes, lauding — President Obama's economic
record. This, when Obama's the first president in history never to see 3 percent growth or more in a single year of
his watch. When record numbers of workers have given up on finding jobs and dropped out of the labor market. When
the Federal Reserve predicts sluggish (at best) growth for the next few years. Yet Clinton claims this is her role model
for boosting the economy.
Hillary
Clinton: My Presidential Campaign 'Belongs to' Abortionists and Planned Parenthood. Hillary Clinton said
her historic presidential campaign "belongs to" Planned Parenthood "staff" and abortionists. "I'm grateful to the
entire Planned Parenthood family. You made this campaign your own," the Democratic presidential nominee said at a
speech before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in Washington, D.C., on Friday [6/10/2016]. After specifically
referencing the 1,000 volunteers who showed up for a Planned Parenthood training event in Pittsburgh last month, she
continued. "It belongs to the staff, the donors, and to the providers," she said.
Hillary:
Abortion 'Constitutional Right'; right to bear arms not so much. Hillary Clinton isn't sure the Second Amendment is a
constitutional right. But she's sure the right to abortion is. Speaking at a Planned Parenthood event in Washington Friday
[6/10/2016], the likely Democratic nominee called "safe and legal abortion" a "constitutional right." [Video clip]
Clinton
promises Planned Parenthood to prioritize abortion rights. Hillary Clinton promised to stand by Planned
Parenthood in a speech to activists from the group in Washington, D.C. on Friday [6/10/2016]. In her speech Friday, she
thanked the non-profit women's health group for their support in the primary and highlighted her staunch support for abortion
rights. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee warned the crowd that if elected president, her opponent Donald
Trump would weaken women's rights.
What
Hillary Clinton would do to America. Clinton kicked off the 2016 campaign talking about inequality, corporate
greed and the struggling middle class. She's still talking about those issues and still framing many of them through a
set of often-wonky policy proposals that often focus on what you might call "kitchen-table issues" for families. Her
ideas rely on a combination of added government regulation, particularly in labor markets, and increased federal spending, in
areas such as education and child care.
Four
ways Hillary Clinton will work to end gun ownership as president. On Sunday, Hillary Clinton just couldn't
bring herself to say on ABC's "This Week" that Americans have an individual right to own guns. But it didn't stop her
from denying Donald Trump's claim that she wants to abolish the Second Amendment. Clinton accused Trump of making
"outright fabrications, accusing me of something that is absolutely untrue." From changing the Supreme Court to make it
possible to again ban guns in the United States to making it more costly to own guns, I predict that a President Hillary
Clinton will do four things to either ban guns or at least reduce gun ownership, especially for poor people: [...]
Hillary
Tells Univision Instead Of Wall, She Will Build Bridge. Looks like Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton is betting the farm that America's voters are with her in her position against building a secure wall along the
United States' border with Mexico. When asked by Univision correspondent Luis Megid about how she plans to secure the
country's border, Clinton said that instead of "building walls ... we should be building bridges."
Hillary Won't Stop at Just Disarming Veterans.
Several leftist media outlets — and also a so-called "veterans' group" — have launched a new effort to
get veterans to help propel Hillary Clinton to the White House. This is quite ironic, of course, since few people have
done more to disarm military veterans than the Clintons. Under President Bill Clinton, veterans with PTSD lost their
gun rights when the VA began forwarding veterans' names to the FBI for placement in the NICS system. To date, over
257,000 military veterans have lost their gun rights because of the precedent that began under the Clinton
administration. And there is no doubt that this antipathy for our veterans' gun rights continues with
Hillary — and that she wants to take away guns from far more Americans than simply veterans.
Clinton
Releases Plan to Dissolve U.S. Border Within 100 Days. Professional Republicans in the #NeverTrump movement
continue to oppose the presumptive nominee selected by the GOP electorate and are now floating strategies to throw the
election to Hillary Clinton. However, an examination of Clinton's campaign promises reveals that Republicans who are
willing to thwart Trump in favor of Clinton will be complicit in electing a President who would seek to bring about the
complete and, possibly irreversible, dissolution of our nation's borders.
Clinton
Plans to Dissolve U.S. Border Within 100 Days of Taking Presidency. A review of Clinton's stated positions on
the issue suggests she is perhaps the most extreme candidate on immigration ever to run for the office of the U.S. Presidency.
Her views place her even further outside the mainstream of the American electorate than President Barack Obama, who systematically
dismantled U.S. immigration law during his two terms in office.
Clinton
Promises to Attack Gun Owners on Her "Very First Day" in Office. The NRA-ILA is a top source for news about
issue that could affect our Second Amendment rights. Not that it is much of a surprise, but the Democrat frontrunner
has pledged to assault the Second Amendment on day one if elected. As usual, she claims she wants to lower gun
violence... by stepping on the throats of gun manufacturers.
Hillary
Clinton Opposes Heller Gun Rights Ruling, Adviser Says. Hillary Clinton believes a 2008 Supreme Court ruling
that is the linchpin of an individual's right to own a gun was "wrongly decided," her policy adviser told Bloomberg Politics
on Friday [5/20/2016]. [...] The stance by Clinton, the all-but-certain Democratic presidential nominee, carries potentially
profound implications for the future of gun rights in the U.S. In striking down a longstanding handgun ban in the
District of Columbia, the D.C. v. Heller ruling marked the first time the Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment
protected an individual's right to own a firearm for lawful purposes such as self-defense in the home.
Hillary
Clinton's fierce anti-gun stance could backfire in general election. Democrats, skittish over pushing gun control since
Al Gore's bid for the White House fell short in 2000, are once again flirting with the issue, preparing to pick perhaps the most
anti-gun presidential nominee in a generation. Hillary Clinton's provocations will be on the minds of thousands of Second Amendment
activists gathering in Louisville beginning Thursday [5/19/2016] as the National Rifle Association hosts its annual meetings, insisting
Mrs. Clinton's fierce gun control stance will once again hamstring Democrats in a national election. Likely GOP nominee Donald
Trump will speak Friday, delivering his fervent pro-gun stance to the one part of the conservative coalition that has quickly and eagerly
embraced him — which makes the contrast with Mrs. Clinton, who's highlighted her anti-gun stance, all the more striking.
Leaked audio: Hillary says SCOTUS
wrong on 2nd Amendment — promises to fight for gun bans. Recently, Hillary's gun control mask slipped a bit
when her daughter Chelsea promised that her mom was eager to return to her gun-grabbing ways. She promised that a
Clinton Supreme Court would issue a "definitive ruling" on the subject — by which she meant overturn D.C.
vs. Heller — and gut the 2nd Amendment. To remind you of her true intentions, the GOP War
Room has cleaned up and re-released some leaked audio from last October. In it, Hillary makes it plain as day.
The Hillary Myth.
Hillary Clinton sounds like Paul Ryan on the economy. She says she's for "strong growth, fair growth, and long-term
growth." She would abandon the slow-growth economics of President Obama and return us to those wonderful days in the 1990s
when husband Bill was in charge. This is a different Hillary Clinton from the one we've seen in debates with Bernie
Sanders, her socialist rival for the Democratic presidential nomination. It's the centrist-at-heart Clinton whom
conservatives and Republicans eager for an acceptable alternative to Donald Trump can vote for. Only there's a
problem: This Hillary Clinton is entirely mythical. She doesn't exist. As the Democratic party has
lurched to the left, she has lurched with it.
Trump's
Not Wrong: Clinton Wants to "Abolish" Second Amendment. Donald Trump told his supporters at a rally in
Lynden, Washington, on Saturday that the presumptive Democrat nominee would like to abolish Second Amendment. [...] Clinton
seems to be of the opinion that she understands the Second Amendment better than the Founding Fathers or the U.S. Supreme
Court, as revealed last October.
Hillary
Clinton Picks a Doomed Fight With Americans Over Guns. "Yesterday, once again, this time horrifically on live
television," says Hillary Clinton in a video on her presidential campaign website, "we saw the terrible consequences of gun
violence." As it turns out, she's not talking about civilian deaths from drone strikes or bombing raids on hospitals by
the U.S. government, but instead about a criminal shooting spree in the United States. Sure enough, the Washington
Post pointed out last week that one of Clinton's signature issues heading into the general election is tightening
restrictions on the ownership and use of guns by Americans.
Six
Parts of Hillary Clinton's Plan to Disarm Citizens. [#4] Replace Instant Background Checks With Indefinite
Background Checks: Clinton wants to expand the time frame in which a background for a gun purchase is conducted.
The current time frame is "instant" — via the National Instant Criminal Background Check System — but
there is an allowance for the FBI to take up to three days to complete the criminal records search on a would-be gun
buyer. Clinton wants to expand the FBI's three day allowance by transforming it into an indefinite amount of time to
complete a search.
Hillary
Clinton's coal flip-flop could prove costly in general election. Hillary Clinton's pitch to voters in
Appalachia fell flat this week, and she is in real danger of losing the West Virginia primary to Sen. Bernard Sanders
next week — but analysts say the former first lady has deeper problems in coal country that could spill into the
general election. Mrs. Clinton has shifted positions on coal over the past eight years, moving from high praise
for clean-coal technology and the fuel's role in U.S. energy production in 2008 to guaranteeing miners will be out of work
and coal mines shut down if she is elected to the White House in November. Although she has tried to distance herself
from those inflammatory statements and salvage her campaign in the pro-coal territory of West Virginia, Kentucky and
elsewhere, political analysts say there is little Mrs. Clinton can do to repair the damage. Attempts to appeal to
blue-collar workers in Appalachia and possibly snatch those states from the Republican column in November look futile.
The
stalled Obama economy is an albatross for Hillary. Obama is leaving office, but the woman he wants to succeed
him, Hillary Clinton, still needs to sell that line of BS to a skeptical public looking for economic relief as the 2016
presidential election approaches. Can she do it? It's hard to say. But one thing is certain:
Clinton's sales (or snow) job just got a lot harder after Thursday's GDP report — which showed the great Obama
economy barely growing during the first quarter of the year, underscoring the bad economic hand she'll be forced to play this
election season.
Chelsea
Clinton Spills the Beans on Hillary's Plans to Confiscate Guns Using the Supreme Court. We here are the
Federalist Papers Project have been warning that if Hillary Clinton becomes President she will be a true anti-gun president
and will seek to confiscate our guns and put a major crimp in our Second Amendment rights. Now Hilary's own daughter,
Chelsea, is flat out admitting that what we have been saying here is 100 percent correct: Hillary will seek to destroy
the Second Amendment. In an MSNBC broadcast of comments made at a campaign event in Maryland, Chelsea Clinton flat out
admitted that her mother would seek to undermine the Second Amendment and take away our rights. Chelsea also specifically
noted her mother will stack the Supreme Court with extremist liberals who will follow her policy to destroy the Second Amendment.
Clinton:
I Want To 'Go Further' Left Than Obama On A Number Of Issues. During an MSNBC town hall on Monday evening [4/25/2016],
Hillary Clinton praised President Obama's accomplishments on a number of policy issues, including the economy, but said she wanted
to "go further" on other issues. [...] Among the items she named as wanting to "make a big, big push on," included equal pay for
women (despite the fact that the Clinton Foundation pays female executives less than their male counterparts), early childhood
education, affordable college and deb-free tuition, the Affordable Care Act, mental health, criminal justice reform, and —
you guessed it — gun control.
Whether they're qualified or not... Hillary:
My Cabinet Will Be 50% Women. Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
promised that her Cabinet would be 50% women if she is elected president during a town hall on MSNBC on Monday [4/25/2016].
Hillary's
Soda Tax Endorsement Violates Middle Class Tax Pledge. Clinton was speaking in Philadelphia on Wednesday [4/20/2016] when
she said the following: "I'm very supportive of the mayor's proposal to tax soda to get universal preschool for kids.
I mean, we need universal preschool, and if that's a way to do it, that's how we should do it. Clinton used preschool as an
excuse for her soda tax endorsement, and the threat to soda and pop drinkers nationwide is clear: Clinton's official campaign
plan calls for universal preschool for the entire country.
Clinton
Embraces Largest Soda Tax Ever Proposed In America — What Won't She Tax? Yesterday [4/20/2016(?)] in
Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton noted that she was "very supportive" of Mayor Jim Kenney's soda tax plan, the highest such tax
proposed in the United States: [Video clip] This new tax would make a 20-ounce bottle of soda 60 cents more
expensive for distributors, who would obviously pass those costs on to consumers, forcing them to pay more for every bottle of
Sprite and can of Coke they purchase.
Hillary Wants
Your Guns. Given the Democrats' dismal record when they run on an anti-gun platform, it is hard to believe that
Hillary Clinton wants to make gun control her signature issue. Nevertheless, that appears to be the case. [...] What do
you think Hillary means by "chang[ing] the gun culture"? My guess is that she knows next to nothing about the "gun culture"
as it is experienced by those who own and use firearms, and what she has in mind is making it really, really hard for anyone
to buy a gun. Except for her armed guards, of course.
Hillary
Says 'Amen' To Supporter Who Wants Her To Use Executive Power To Prohibit Guns In Cars. Hillary Clinton had one
word for a supporter who urged her on Thursday [4/21/2016] to use executive action as president to restrict citizens from
carrying guns in their vehicles: "Amen. "We need you to be able to use your executive powers to legislate that
you can't carry guns in cars, you can't bring cars in buildings that are not assured to carry them," an audience member at a
campaign forum in Hartford, Conn. told Clinton. "We need executive powers to say we will fight for life and not kowtow
to the sons and daughters of Charlton Heston," he added, referred to the actor and former president of the National Rifle
Association. "Whoa, let the congregation say, 'Amen,'" Clinton responded.
Clinton
Vows to Spend 'Every Single Minute' as President to 'Change Gun Culture'. At a meeting with families of
gun-violence victims in Hartford, Conn., today, Hillary Clinton vowed to use "every single minute of every day" to "change
the gun culture" in America. Participants at the event included Erica Smegielski, daughter of Sandy Hook Elementary
School principal Dawn Hochsprung, and Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose 6-year-old daughter, Ana Grace, was also among the Sandy
Hook victims. Clinton, who has been hammering at Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) over gun control, said "if anything
else were killing 33,000 Americans a year... we would be fully mobilized, doing everything we possible could to save lives."
I predict the members of Hillary's anti-gun gang will be wearing brown shirts. Clinton: We Could Have Positive
Gangs. Hillary Clinton said that society needs to have "positive gangs" during a discussion on gun violence
Thursday [4/21/2016] in Connecticut. "You said something that is so important for people to hear. You know,
joining a gang is like having a family. It's feeling like you're part of something bigger than yourself. So we're
either going to have gangs that murder and rob and do the things that are so destructive to the gang members and to the
community," she said. "Or, we're going to have positive gangs. We're going to have positive alternatives for
young people. The discussion that Clinton took part in was to push her gun law agenda further to potential voters.
Chelsea Clinton:
Gun Control Opportunity on Supreme Court With Scalia Gone. Chelsea Clinton said Thursday at an event in
Maryland that there is now an opportunity for gun control legislation to pass the Supreme Court since Justice Antonin Scalia
passed away. "It matters to me that my mom also recognizes the role the Supreme Court has when it comes to gun
control. With Justice Scalia on the bench, one of the few areas where the Court actually had an inconsistent record
relates to gun control," Clinton said. "Sometimes the Court upheld local and state gun control measures as being
compliant with the Second Amendment and sometimes the Court struck them down. Clinton then touted her mother's record
on gun control issues and knowledge that the Supreme Court has an effect on whether many gun control laws stand.
Hillary is a tough talker while whe is surrounded by heavily-armed Secret Service agents. Hillary
Clinton: We have too many guns 'in our homes'. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton suggested Wednesday
[4/20/2016] that Americans have too many guns in their homes. "When it comes to guns, we have just too many guns. On the streets,
in our homes, in our neighborhoods," the former secretary of state told a gun violence forum in Philadelphia, according to a clip obtained
by Washington Free Beacon.
Hillary
Says We Should Rewrite the First Amendment, If That's What It Takes to Reverse Citizens United. Hillary Clinton
endorsed a constitutional amendment today [4/14/2016] to reverse the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v.
FEC. [...] In Citizens United, the Court ruled that the First Amendment protects unlimited independent political
expenditures by nonprofit groups. The case famously arose when Citizens United, a conservative nonprofit corporation
that produces documentaries, made a movie attacking Clinton and released advertisements promoting the movie during her
presidential campaign in 2008. A federal court ruled that the regnant campaign laws banned the airing of those ads and the
movie in the 30 days prior to the Democratic primaries.
Hillary
promises a trillion dollars in new taxes if elected. Not to be outdone by Bernie Sanders in promising free
stuff to voters, Hillary Clinton is promising to raise taxes by an astounding trillion dollars a year. Taking that kind
money out of the economy and putting it into the hands of government bureaucrats will tank the economy. But of course,
with so many members of the voting pubic not paying income taxes, this may actually be an attractive proposition to them.
Hillary
Clinton Is Going To Raise Taxes By A LOT. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton confirmed she plans
to raise taxes by at least $1 trillion dollars during an interview with New York Daily News released Monday [4/11/2016].
The former secretary of state proposed a slew of new hikes — including a 28 percent cap on itemized deductions to
raise $350 billion for college subsides. Through "business tax reform," she said she plans to bring in $275 billion
for infrastructure purposes and plans to raise somewhere between $400 and $500 billion in revenue by eliminating certain
deductions, raising the estate tax, capital gains tax and implementing the "Buffett Rule," meaning anyone making over $1 million
a year will face at least a 30 percent tax rate.
Clinton's
$10 Bil Manufacturing 'Investment' Is Just A Thinly Disguised Gift To Unions. Clinton calls her plan "Make it
in America," but you will look in vain to find any part of it that would actually help manufacturing. There's no talk
of reforming corporate taxes, lifting the heavy burden of needless EPA regulations, or reducing the cost of hiring new
workers. Instead, she wants to get government more deeply involved in the industry — by punishing those that
dare to move jobs or investment offshore, while rewarding those that do her bidding.
Hillary
Clinton: 'The Unborn Person Doesn't Have Constitutional Rights'. Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," while
discussing her position on abortion, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said under our laws currently "the
unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights."
Hillary
commits major abortion gaffe. A gaffe, as Michael Kinsley famously explained it, is when a politician accidentally
tells the truth. And Hillary Clinton did exactly that on Meet the Press yesterday [4/3/2016], violating the rulebook
of Planned Parenthood to use language that obscures the nature of abortion, substituting words like "choice" and "fetal tissue
mass" to mask the taking of a human a life. Hillary's sin? Stating her view that "an unborn person does not have
constitutional rights." Acknowledging that an "unborn person" is what is being killed, or terminated, as the abortion
industry prefers to euphemize it, creates legal conceptual difficulties.
Clinton
'unborn person' comments anger both pro-choice, pro-life sides. Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton
ran afoul of both the pro-life and pro-choice sides of the abortion debate Sunday [4/3/2016] when she said constitutional
rights do not apply to an "unborn person" or "child." "The unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights," Mrs.
Clinton said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Now that doesn't mean that we don't do everything we possibly can in the vast
majority of instances to, you know, help a mother who is carrying a child and wants to make sure that child will be healthy,
to have appropriate medical support." Mrs. Clinton also said "there is room for reasonable kinds of restrictions"
on abortion during the third trimester of pregnancy.
Hillary:
Unborn Children Don't Have Constitutional Rights. On Sunday [4/3/2016], Hillary Clinton told Chuck Todd that no
unborn child has constitutional rights. "The unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights," under our current laws,
said Clinton. She also said that "the woman's right to make decisions" is most important when it comes to abortion.
Most notable perhaps is Clinton's use of "person." Oftentimes, when talking about a woman's right to choose, pro-choicers
will use terminology that suggests the unborn is not a person or human, but a "fetus." [Video clip]
Hillary: Unborn Babies
Do Not Have Rights. Hillary Clinton says that unborn children do not have "constitutional rights." In an interview with
Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press" airing on Sunday [4/3/2016], Clinton said that while it "doesn't mean that you don't do everything
possible to try to fulfill your obligations [to help the unborn person], it does not include sacrificing the woman's right to make
decisions." Todd asked Clinton "if an unborn child has constitutional rights" and Clinton replied, "Well, under our laws, that is
not something that exists. The unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights."
Where's
the Scrutiny of Hillary Clinton on Abortion? GOP presidential candidate Donald J. Trump is taking a beating from
the press over his flip-flops on abortion. But the leading Democrat candidate for president, Hillary Clinton, has escaped serious
scrutiny over her extreme position that would seem to prohibit any restrictions on the procedure. [...] During an interview with Chuck
Todd of NBC's "Meet the Press," Mrs. Clinton, who is a grandmother, was asked, "Are there reasonable restrictions that you would ever
support on abortion?" She seemed to reply that she supported no limits to abortion up until the moment of birth.
Chelsea
Clinton: My Mom Could Use 'Executive Action' to Handle Obamacare's 'Crushing Costs'. On the campaign trail for
her mother, Chelsea Clinton is both giving Hillary Clinton credit for Obamacare's basic framework and distancing her from the
boondoggle's massive increase in costs to average Americans. [...] However, Truth Revolt observed last week that Chelsea
Clinton told voters that something needed to be done to deal with Obamacare's "crushing costs" and said her mother was
prepared to consider "executive action" as a means to bring down those costs.
Clinton
would impose campaign finance, abortion litmus tests on court nominees. Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary
Clinton urged her supporters to demand that the Senate approve President Obama's Supreme Court pick — even though
she herself seemed to undercut Judge Merrick Garland, saying she wanted justices with more varied "life experience" than what
he brings to the bench. Mrs. Clinton said she wouldn't second-guess Mr. Obama's decision to pick Judge Garland to fill
the seat left vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, but added that if she were in the Oval Office she would search
for nominees in the mold of Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Mrs. Clinton said Justice Sotomayor's Hispanic heritage and
underprivileged upbringing brought needed perspectives to the high court.
The Editor says...
This page is full of evidence that the minimum wage is a job killer.
According
To Democrats, It's 'Un-American' To Enforce Immigration Laws. Hillary Clinton made quite the incredulous claim
last week. In an interview with an Arizona radio station, Clinton asserted the U.S.-Mexico border is secure and migration
from the Central American country was no longer a problem. "I think we've done a really good job securing the border,"
the Democratic front-runner confidently stated.
Hillary
Clinton to Miners: Let Them Eat Coal. By now, most people probably know about one of Secretary Hillary
Clinton's biggest campaign gaffes to date: "we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business."
As soon as I heard it, I tweeted: "Imagine a presidential candidate running for office based on putting people out of work?"
I wasn't the only one shocked by the uncharacteristic clarity of her statement.
GOP's
message to voters should be this: Supreme Court fight is about Obama's abuse of power. This isn't about Judge Robert Bork, or the "Biden
Rule" — this is a fight about President Obama undermining the checks and balances established in the Constitution. For instance,
President Obama has tried to essentially shut down our coal industry through new EPA regulations limiting carbon emissions. These rules would create
a massive dislocation to our economy, which has long benefited from cheap energy, including abundant coal. That there is a significant cost to the
economy is clear; Hillary Clinton recently said "We're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business." How right, and how
cruelly nonchalant that statement is.
Hillary's
Federal Education Jackboot Squad. Clinton wants a cadre of new government educrats to undo the decades-old
damage of old government educrats in America's worst public schools. She pitched her creepy proposal at the Democratic
presidential debate in Michigan on Sunday for an "education SWAT team" to swarm down and rescue students from failing
districts in decrepit cities such as Detroit (run by whom? Oh, yeah. Democrats!). "I want to set-up inside
the Department of Education, for want of a better term, kind of an education SWAT team, if you will," Clinton explained in a
bizarre, semi-blaccent, "where we've got qualified people, teachers, principals, maybe folks who are retired, maybe folks who
are active, but all of whom are willing to come and help."
The Editor says...
America's "worst public schools" are filled with the illegitimate children from America's worst households. Decades of godless, fatherless, lawless, welfare-dependent "families" cannot be remedied, normalized
and assimilated into polite society by a sudden show of federal force. Besides, the Department of Education already has a SWAT team, and it's not something to be proud of.

Norquist:
Hillary's Attack on Guns and Fracking Will Cost Her the Election. Norquist was referring to Clinton's comment
in Sunday's Democrat debate where she said, "So by the time we get through all of my conditions, I do not think there will be
many places in America where fracking will continue to take place." [...] While Clinton has always been terrible on the gun
issue, her anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment statement in Sunday's debate was broad and sweeping: "I think we have to try
everything that works to try to limit the numbers of people and the kinds of people who are given access to firearms."
Hillary Was for Fracking
Before She Was Against It. [Scroll down] In 2014 Clinton also stated with regard to fracking that
"expanding production is creating tens of thousands of new jobs," and "lower costs are helping give the United Stated a big
competitive advantage." While Hillary may no longer admit this about fracking, her past statements of support are completely
accurate. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), fracking has led to reductions in imported energy, down
from 60 percent of what the U.S. used in 2004 to 38 percent in 2013. For 2012 alone, this led to a $284 billion
increase in U.S. GDP, 2.1 million jobs created, and increased the income of every American household by roughly $1,200.
Hillary Clinton's criticism of fracking at the recent Democratic debate is a blatant attempt by her campaign to gain power by
appealing to the misinformed prejudices and emotions of the extreme left.
Clinton
Wants to Work to Limit the Numbers and Kinds of People Who Have Access to Guns. "I think we have to try everything that
works to try to limit the numbers of people and the kinds of people who are given access to firearms," Hillary Clinton said at Sunday
night's [3/6/2016] Democrat debate in Michigan. "The Brady Bill, which has been in effect now for about 23 years, has kept
more than two million purchases from going forward. So we do have to continue to try to work on that because not every killer
will have the same profile." Clinton endorsed "comprehensive background checks" for online purchases and those at guns
shows. She aslo wants to make sure gun sales do not proceed if background checks are not completed in three days.
Hillary Clinton's War on Whites.
Hillary Clinton is sweeping the Democratic primaries across the South by capturing nearly all the black votes — a staggering
86 percent in South Carolina. She's doing it with poisonous lies designed to stoke racial resentment. Clinton routinely
tells blacks they are the victims of "systemic racism" and scolds whites for not demonstrating more "humility." She falsely claims
that discrimination is causing higher poverty rates and incarceration rates in the black community. There isn't a shred of evidence
to back up her claims. Even so, she gets a pass from the media.
Clinton's Cowardly Capitulation to
Black Lives Matter. This Wednesday [2/24/2016] at a fundraiser in Columbia, South Carolina, Black Lives Matter activist Ashley Williams demanded
that Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton apologize to black people for "mass incarceration." In a speech Clinton gave twenty years ago, she
equated some black youths to "super-predators." Williams unfurled a handmade sign that included a quote from that speech: "we have to bring [the
super-predators] to heel." After a tense exchange between the Williams and Clinton, the former was ushered out of the fundraiser. Thursday afternoon,
Clinton capitulated.
Clinton
says she'll go further than Obama on immigration. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both said they'll go further than
President Barack Obama on the issue of immigration, with Sanders condemning recent deportation raids as "unacceptable."
Hillary X.
[Scroll down] Hillary as a candidate and a person has no connection to the black community. Her husband was routinely
called "the first black president" during his tenure, but that was meaningless shtick used to placate discontented voters.
What has Hillary done to earn anyone's vote, let alone support specifically from black voters? Nothing. Well, nothing
except pandering. Progressives derive their power from division — race, gender, sexuality, income, you name it.
Racial division is their political "comfort food," their most successful weapon. And it's about to be deployed like never before.
Mrs. Clinton's Ode to
Serfdom. Hillary Rodham Clinton is not qualified to be president of the United States of America, because she doesn't know what the
United States of America are. Terry Shumaker, former U.S. ambassador to Trinidad (I wonder what that gig cost him) and current abject
minion in the service of Mrs. Clinton, quotes Herself telling an audience in New Hampshire: "Service is the rent we pay for
living in this great country." There is a very old English word for people who are required to perform service as a rent for their existence,
and that word is serf. Serfdom is a form of bondage.
Clinton:
The Money to Help Americans Pay Their Bills 'Should Come From Those Who Have It'. "We have to change the tax system so
that it is fairer," Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday [1/27/2016]. To her, that means taking more money from the rich and
spending it on other people's college tuition, child care, and paid family leave. "There are things we can do that will
relieve the burdens on middle-class families, and the money should come from those who have it," Clinton told a gathering in
Marshalltown, Iowa, Wednesday.
Hillary's
"blame-men-first" feminism may prove costly in 2016. During her two presidential campaigns, Hillary Clinton has consistently drawn greater
support from women than men. Is this gender lag due to retrograde misogyny, or does Hillary project an uneasiness or ambivalence about men that
complicates her appeal to a broader electorate?
Clinton
'loves' the idea of appointing Obama to Supreme Court. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton said she "loves"
the idea of appointing Barack Obama to the Supreme Court if she's elected president. At a campaign event in Iowa Tuesday [1/26/2016],
Mrs. Clinton told the crowd the next president may have to appoint up to three Supreme Court justices. When one attendee mentioned
Mr. Obama as a contender, she seemed excited by the recommendation.
Hillary
Clinton Would Consider Appointing President Obama to Supreme Court. A second Clinton administration could mean a
future Justice Barack Obama. At a campaign event in Deocorah, Iowa on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton lit up when a voter asked
her if she would consider appointing the president to the Supreme Court should she win the White House. "Wow, what a great idea.
No one has ever suggested that to me, I love that, wow," the Democratic presidential candidate responded. "He may have a few
other things to do but I tell you that's a great idea."
The Editor says...
You can safely bet that [#1] the question was provided to that "voter" by Hillary's staff, and Hillary was in no way surprised by it, since
Hillary put on one of the worst phony surprised acts ever seen, and [#2] the question was either written by Hillary herself,
or supplied by someone in the White House.
Hillary
Clinton's Plan Would Raise Taxes by Half a Trillion Over Next Decade. Hillary Clinton's proposed tax plan would raise taxes by $498 billion
over the next decade and would reduce the economy's size by 1 percent, according to analysis by the Tax Foundation. In order to pay for the new and
expanded government programs Clinton has touted on the campaign trail, her proposed tax plan will increase marginal tax rates on income, labor, and capital, a
move that will in turn reduce GDP, lower wages, and eliminate jobs. Most of the $498 billion in tax revenue over the next decade would come from
individual income taxes, the estate tax, and taxes on corporations.
Clinton rallies Planned Parenthood vote,
fights all restrictions on abortions. Once a proponent of making abortions "safe, legal and rare," Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has now
dropped the "rare" from her rhetorical pitch as she seeks to rally the Planned Parenthood vote. Ever more worried by a challenge from Sen. Bernard Sanders, Mrs. Clinton
has placed women's rights at the forefront of her candidacy, rallying with a heightened sense of absolutism: fighting against all restrictions on abortions, including
during the ninth month of pregnancy.
Clinton
embraces Obama in final stretch, fueling GOP claims of seeking '3rd term'. If you like Barack Obama, you'll love Hillary Clinton.
That seems to be the Democratic front-runner's pitch as she charges into the final stretch to the Iowa caucuses, embracing the administration's agenda
and casting rival Bernie Sanders as a threat to that legacy — a strategy on full display at Sunday's [1/17/2016] primary debate. On stage
in Charleston, S.C., Clinton accused the Vermont senator of wanting to "tear" up ObamaCare, which she called "one of the greatest accomplishments of
President Obama, of the Democratic Party and of our country."
Clinton: 'There is no more important issue
than reproductive rights'. Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton told voters in New Hampshire Friday [1/22/2016] that there is
"no more important issue than reproductive rights." "We want to get the economy working for everybody, not just those at the top, [and] we want
to get incomes rising," Clinton told attendees of the National Abortion Rights Action League's annual Pro-choice Roe v. Wade Dinner in New Hampshire.
"But those of us in this room also know that human rights, civil rights [and] women's rights matter and there is no more important issue than reproductive
rights," she added.
Hillary
Wants Bill's Economic Record — Without Any Of His Pro-Growth Policies. Hillary Clinton has come out
firmly against banking deregulation. She wants to hike taxes on capital gains. She wants to expand the welfare state and
dramatically increase the size of government — by $1 trillion and counting. She wants to rein in cops and release
felons from prison. She also says that she'll seek Bill Clinton's input on how to grow the economy because of what "was
accomplished under my husband's leadership in the '90s — especially when it came to raising incomes for everybody
and lifting more people out of poverty. ... I'm going to ask for his ideas, I'm going ask for his advice." But what
Bill — or at least the Bill Clinton who was in the White House from 1993 to 2001 — would probably tell
her is to abandon every one of her far-left proposals if she wants to see a return to strong GDP growth.
Hillary's Healthcare Lies. Hillary
Clinton is attacking rival Bernie Sanders, calling his plan to replace Obamacare with socialist single payer healthcare a "risky deal" and
unaffordable. She's telling Democrats the survival of the Affordable Care Act depends on her winning the presidency. "The stakes
couldn't be higher," she warned Iowa voters. Sunday night [1/17/2016] at the primary debate she repeated it, claiming a Clinton
presidency is all that stands between Obamacare and its demise. Not so fast, Clinton. Obamacare is on the ropes, and it still
will be, even if you're elected president. You're not leveling with the public about the health law's disastrous condition.
Clinton
demands government funding for illegals' attorneys, tells Obama to stop raids. Democratic presidential hopeful
Hillary Clinton urged President Obama to halt the new round of deportation raids and called Monday night for the government
to pay for attorneys for all children who wind up in immigration courts. Belatedly joining the other Democratic
presidential hopefuls, who criticized the raids more than two weeks ago, Mrs. Clinton said the families from Central America
who have flooded across the border in recent years deserve a chance to make their case for claiming asylum.
Hillary
Calls for Free Abortions for Medicaid Recipients. At an event to accept the endorsement of Planned Parenthood
in New Hampshire on Sunday, Hillary Clinton called for unlimited taxpayer-funding of elective abortions for Medicaid recipients.
"I believe we need to protect access to safe and legal abortion, not just in principle, but in practice. Any right that requires
you to take extraordinary measures to access it is no right at all," Clinton said. "Not as long as we have laws on the book
like the Hyde amendment, making it harder for low income women to exercise their full rights," she added at the end of a list of
restrictions that supposedly deny women a right to abortion.
You Snooze, She Wins. 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.
Clinton
struggles to explain difference between socialist, Democrat. It seems to be the question Democratic Party figureheads don't want to
answer: What's the difference between a Democrat and a socialist? Hillary Clinton, in an otherwise friendly interview on MSNBC,
struggled to answer that question Tuesday [1/5/2016] when asked by host Chris Matthews.
Hillary
Can't Explain The Difference Between A Democrat And A Socialist. [Chris] Matthews asked Clinton, "What's the
difference between a socialist and a Democrat? Is that a question you want to answer, or would you rather not?"
"You'd have to ask [Sanders]," Clinton said before being interrupted by Matthews. "You see, I'm asking you. You're
a Democrat, he's a socialist. Would you like someone to call you a socialist?" Matthews asked. "I am not one," Hillary
responded without answering the question. "OK, well what's the difference between a socialist and a Democrat?" Matthews asked
again. "I can tell you what I am, I am a progressive Democrat," Clinton responded. "How is that different than a
socialist?" Matthews asked a third time.
Hillary
Proposes Defense Cuts to Cure Alzheimer's. Last week, Hillary Clinton pledged to spend $2 billion a year to
find a cure for Alzheimer's by 2025 — an admirable effort, no doubt. At the time, an aide said the program would
be paid in the form of tax reforms and other savings. On Tuesday [12/29/2015], Clinton gave us some indication regarding what those
"other savings" would look like.
Hillary's blindness to
Muslim extremists is dangerous. Hillary Clinton chose Minneapolis — with its growing enclave of fundamentalist
Muslim refugees — to announce her plan to combat terrorism on Tuesday. That's like choosing Baskin-Robbins to announce
your weight-loss plans. [...] The key to Hillary's anti-terrorism plan is the empty hope that Muslims in America will self-police.
Hillary Clinton caught in another video lie.
[Scroll down] The solution from the politician in the signature pantsuit? "Mrs Clinton said that Americans need to work
more closely with the Muslim community in their country because 'they will be our early warning signal' against possible terrorist
attacks." (DailyMail) There was no warning signal from the Muslim community for the massacre in San Bernardino, nor will there
be for the next terrorist attack wherever it strikes. "Working closely with the Muslim community"? No[t] only is Obama
working so closely with the Muslim community that some suspect he's one of them, he's installed their members in prominent portfolios
in his administration.
The Editor says...
As far as I am aware, there has never been an early warning from "the Muslim community" about an impending Islamic terrorist attack.
They rely on the element of surprise, and apparently the only people with advance knowledge of an attack are the principal actors and a few
of their supervisors. Mrs. Clinton wants us to work (more closely) with the Muslims. Exactly the opposite is true. Americans
should work against the spread of Islam at every opportunity.
Hillary:
Illegal immigrant children must be sent home. Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday
[11/8/2015] that U.S. should send a clear message that the illegal immigrant children who have been surging across the border
will be sent home. Mrs. Clinton, speaking during a town hall hosted by CNN, said the children should receive the best
possible medical care, but should be return to their home countries if their relatives can be located.
Liberals
Praise Hillary Clinton's New Ad With Same Sex Couples Kissing. The Hillary Clinton campaign is out with an ad
highlighting her record as an advocate for LGBT rights. The spot includes images of gay couples kissing each other.
The liberal website Slate praises Clinton for including same-sex kissing in her campaign ad, saying, "Given the distressingly
puritanical rules that govern gay PDAs, it's both impressive and heartening that Clinton includes gay kisses in her official
campaign spots."
Hillary's
ISIS strategy is just as lame as Obama's. Poor Hillary Clinton: She wants desperately to distance herself from
President Obama when it comes to fighting ISIS. Yet her approach is every bit as lame as the one that's driven his polls
through the floor — because it's almost exactly the same.
Hillary's
Reichsfluchsteuer Emerges as a New Tax Straight Out of Germany. The former secretary of state and senator from
New York, Hillary Clinton, reportedly will announce on Wednesday [12/9/2015] plans to impose an "exit tax" on companies that
move their headquarters out of America or merge with foreign firms to escape America's unreasonably high corporate taxes.
Clinton
Plans $1 Tril In New Spending With No Way To Pay For It. The Democratic front-runner won great applause among
unions and the construction lobby when she recently announced her support for a new $275 billion program for public works
projects because of "the sorry state" of our infrastructure. But didn't Barack Obama spend hundreds of billions of
dollars on "shovel ready" projects as part of his stimulus program? There's no word yet from Clinton about what happened
to all that money or how she'll pay for the new bricks and mortar. She is, after all, still promising not to raise taxes
on families who earn less than $250,000. That promise looks more improbable in view of all the other programs Clinton wants
to throw money at.
Recipe
for tax hikes? Clinton proposals hit $1T mark, Republicans say. The cost of Hillary Clinton's campaign promises has topped
$1 trillion — a spending "binge" that would require middle-class tax hikes to pay for it, Republicans say. Clinton
critics say she hit the $1 trillion mark over the weekend, when she unveiled a $275 billion infrastructure plan.
Hillary
Clinton Calls for Additional $275 Billion to Modernize Infrastructure Nationwide. Hillary Clinton unveiled a
five-year, $275 billion plan today [11/29/2015] to rebuild and modernize the nation's infrastructure, which she says will be
a "down payment on our future." [...] As part of her infrastructure plan, Clinton also called for Congress to pass the long-time
highway bill by the end of the year, and said that she wants Internet in 100 percent of households by 2020.
The Editor says...
A down payment is the first step into long-term debt. This country is already deeply in debt. Hillary plans to put the
internet into every household without exception, which makes me wonder if she thinks Orwell's 1984 is a how-to manual.
Suppose the Mennonites don't want the internet in their homes. What than? If the internet is wired into every
house, what happens to the broadcasting industry?
Hillary
Clinton panders to middle-class voters with unrealistic tax promises. If there is a social or economic need,
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has a tax credit to match. She's proposed one for businesses that
institute profit-sharing plans (cost: $20 billion over 10 years); another for hiring disabled veterans; and,
as of last week, a tax credit worth up to $1,200 to help families defray the cost of caring for their elderly members at
home (a $10 billion, 10-year item). Coming soon: changes to Social Security to benefit workers who take time off
to care for the elderly. When it comes to paying for these "targeted" benefits, plus her other promises such as universal preschool,
however, the former secretary of state has a clear principle: none of the 97 percent of U.S. households that earn
$250,000 or less per year will be asked to contribute higher taxes.
Bias alert!
The writer at the Washington Post seems to think that taxes are contributions, which the government asks for,
as opposed to demanding they be paid under threat of imprisonment.
Even
the AP couldn't validate any of Hillary's gun control nonsense. The Democratic debate on November 14 has come
and gone — and Hillary is just like any other Democrat when it comes to the issue of gun violence: she's completely
and utterly wrong. Just like her former boss, she rattled off talking points that were wholly inaccurate and rested on the
border of being a flat-out lie.
Hillary
Clinton In 2007: I Want To 'Keep Track' Of Illegal Immigrants. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary
Clinton once said that she wants to "keep track" of all the illegal immigrants in the United States, to prevent terrorist
attacks. Speaking at an Iowa town hall during her previous presidential campaign in November 2007, Clinton pitched
an idea similar to a database for illegals to stop another potential terrorist attack like 9/11.
Clinton
says her use of term 'illegal immigrant' was a 'poor choice of words'. Hillary Clinton said Tuesday [11/24/2015]
that her use of the term "illegal immigrant" at a town hall in New Hampshire earlier this month was a "poor choice of words."
"That was a poor choice of words," Clinton wrote during a Facebook chat. "As I've said throughout this campaign, the people
at the heart of this issue are children, parents, families, DREAMers. They have names, and hopes and dreams that deserve
to be respected."
The
Clinton solution for refugees: Guantanamo. Hillary Clinton has joined Barack Obama in accusing Republican of
betraying American values for raising legitimate security concerns about admitted Syrian refugees, declaring last week that
"slamming the door on refugees isn't who we are." Funny, because when her husband was president, he "slammed the door"
on refugees — the cell door at Guantanamo Bay.
Clinton
Wins Gun Control Award From Major Anti-Bill of Rights Group. The Brady Campaign came up with a new award they
named for a former anti-gun New York Governor, Mario Cuomo. The current anti-gun New York Governor, his son Andrew Cuomo, was
on hand at an event in Manhattan to praise Clinton as the recipient of the inaugural "Mario Cuomo Visionary Award." The
primary message of the event was clear: everyone wants more gun laws, and the only thing stopping their passage are cowardly
politicians acting in concert with the NRA.
There's no such thing as dirty energy; nonetheless... Clinton
promises 'enough clean energy to power every home in America'. If elected president, Democrat Hillary Clinton
says she can create enough green energy to power every home in America by the end of her second term. "By the end of my
first term, we will have installed a half a billion more solar panels, and by the end of my second term, enough clean energy
to power every home in America," Clinton said at the Blue Jamboree in Charleston, S.C., on Saturday [11/21/2015].
Hillary Clinton's career will sink or swim with Barack
Obama's ISIS strategy. The president is quite the neoliberal — mugged by reality yet refusing to press charges.
His approval rating on foreign policy is consistently underwater. Two-thirds of the country says it's headed in the wrong direction.
And yet Clinton's ISIS strategy is essentially the same as Obama's.
Why
Can't the Dems Say 'Radical Islam'? Saturday night's Democratic presidential debate offered the country a
moment of clarity that exposes just how brittle and discredited the worldview of America's elites has become — and
it showed that critiques of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's approach to policy are an exposed nerve which will
absolutely present a challenge to her in future debates next fall.
Hillary
Clinton refuses to say U.S. is at war with radical Islam. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refused to
say the U.S. is at war with radical Islamic terrorists during the Democratic presidential debate here on Saturday [11/14/2015].
"I don't think we're at war with Islam. I don't think we're at war with all Muslims," Mrs. Clinton said.
Hillary
Still Wants to Bring in 65,000 Syrian Refugees. This is particularly relevant, as early reports on yesterday's
attacks in Paris suggest that they may have been committed by Syrian refugees. Clinton did not explain the specifics
of her proposed screening and vetting process.
Hillary
Clinton's bought-and-paid-for betrayal of charter schools. Whoosh! There goes Hillary Clinton, hurtling
leftward after another 180-degree cartwheel on a critical issue — this time, a flip-flop on charter schools.
Charters once had no greater fan. Back in 1996, Clinton hailed them as being "freed from regulations that stifle innovation,
so they can focus on getting results." But the two national teachers unions — the National Education Association
and the American Federation of Teachers — were first to endorse her latest presidential run. So now Clinton's
script on charters might as well be written by AFT President Randi Weingarten (an informal campaign adviser).
Is Hillary Clinton a friend
of Israel? If one looks at Hillary Clinton's public history one finds a lifetime of anti-Israel positions. But
wait some might say, Hillary was a big supporter of Israel when she was in the U.S. Senate. Indeed, she was. With the
possible exception of the time from her first campaign New York's Senate seat in 2000 to her resignation from the Senate to become
Secretary of State in January 2009 — except for the time she needed New York's Jewish voting bloc, Hillary Clinton has
never been pro-Israel. And when she held the position of Secretary of State, she helped Barack Obama craft his anti-Israel
positions. Even before her marriage to Bill, Hillary Clinton was opposing Israel and promoting the forces of terrorism.

New Hillary ad demands more gun control. In 2008, Hillary Clinton accused Barack Obama of being a gun-grabber.
Seven years later, she's complaining that Obama hasn't grabbed enough guns. In a new campaign ad launched today, Team Hillary
demands more federal action on gun control, apparently sensing a weakness in Bernie Sanders' record — but possibly
opening up a large weakness in Hillary's general-election campaign: [Video clip]
The Anatomy of Hillary's
Electorate. The beneficiaries of Obama's spendthrift ways expect the goodies to flow uninterrupted under a Clinton
administration. Here are some key groups. [#1] The millions of Americans who pay no (or virtually no) taxes and
will be getting free health care under Obamacare as well as many other benefits. [#2] Crony capitalists of one kind
or another, especially those in "green" industries despite the fact that there is nothing whatever to show for the billions the
feds have handed them. Remember Solyndra? [#3] The ever-growing grievance industry, which includes Jesse Jackson's
Rainbow/PUSH and Al Sharpton's National Action Network. [...] [#4] Academia generally, which benefits from government grants
and subsidies funneled through the Department of Education and its various agencies such as the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The Editor says...
The article also goes on to say that the Republicans are also up against the feminists, the abortionists, the tax-and-spend statists,
the atheists, the emotion-driven shallow thinkers (e.g., public school students), the Muslims, and the news media.
Hillary Clinton Tries to Emulate
Barack Obama; Fails. Clinton insiders have made no secret of her desire to emulate Barack Obama's 2008 "historic" campaign
as she makes her second bid for the White House. Her kickoff campaign video featured the exact same constituencies Obama energized
in his bids for the presidency — working women, minorities, gay voters.
Hillary Lets It Slip:
If Elected President, She Will Indeed Try to Confiscate Your Guns. As Hillary Clinton floundered on the witness stand last
week, despite withering help from her Democrat apologists who dutifully fell in line and insisted that she can do no wrong, her speech
last Friday [10/23/2015] on the subject of private ownership of guns by American citizens has gone largely unreported. Last Friday,
Clinton, in a rare moment of honesty, advocated for the forced confiscation of privately, legally-owned guns from otherwise innocent
American citizens.
Girl
Gone Wild: Hillary's $350 Billion "Free" College Plan. Hillary knows Obama won the youth vote in two consecutive presidential
elections by promising to erase the burden of college loans. She also knows the average college student graduates with $33,000 in debt.
Finally, she knows independents and Republicans are offering young voters little by way of a counter offer. Today I'll lay out a three-step
proposal we can use to counter Hillary's offer to strip $350 billion out of the economy over ten years and make college tuition "free."
Hillary
Clinton: Illegal Aliens Are 'Law-Abiding' And Cops Are Criminals. We all know how [badly mistaken] Hillary
Clinton is, but she just outdid herself in a big way at the Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Des Moines Iowa on Saturday [10/24/2015].
In the same speech in which she called illegal aliens law-abiding people she suggested that police officers are bigots and criminals.
Arranging
American Gun Confiscation. America's progressive chatter on guns has been shifting noticeably from the abstract
language of "control" to the concrete language of "confiscation." Hillary Clinton is just the latest leading voice to serve
notice that the forced disarmament of law-abiding Americans is not the dystopian fantasy of paranoids, but a matter of current
policy discussion — and action.
Of course Hillary wants your
guns. Hillary Clinton, who served an administration that ran thousands of guns to Mexican drug lords under Operation
Fast and Furious, is now fast and furiously trying to resurrect a failing campaign by taking aim at so-called gun rights "extremists".
In the wake of the shootings at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, Mrs. Clinton advocated in New Hampshire for a new gun group for
"responsible gun owners" apart from the National Rifle Association, which she considers extremist, even though no NRA member has
ever been involved in a mass shooting.
Clinton
unveils plan for tighter gun control including executive action, expanded background checks. Democratic presidential
front-runner Hillary Clinton on Monday [10/5/2015] proposed tighter gun-control measures, including expanded background checks, and
suggested that if elected she would use executive powers to achieve her goals. "I want to push hard to get more sensible restraints,"
Clinton said on NBC's "Today" show. "I want to work with Congress, but I will look at ways as president." She called for
expanded background checks for firearms sales online and at gun shows. Clinton also called for closing loopholes in federal laws
that allow for gun-sale transactions to be completed if the buyer's background check is not finished within three days.
Clinton
suggests she'd consider mandatory gun buy-backs, sparking fears of 'confiscation'. Hillary Clinton said Friday [10/16/2015]
that mandatory gun buy-back programs like ones in Australia are "worth looking into," sparking criticism that the Democratic presidential
front-runner would, if elected, impose gun-confiscation efforts. Clinton made the comments during a campaign stop in Keene, N.H., when
an attendee asked about Australia's 1996 and 2003 buy-back programs that collected roughly 700,000 banned semi-automatic rifles and other
firearms. "I think it would be worth considering doing it on the national level, if that could be arranged," Clinton responded.
Clinton
goes on the attack over voting rights in Alabama. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton
came to Alabama on Saturday [10/16/2015] and waded into the national debate over voter rights, criticizing Republican leaders in this
state and others for ID laws that she said have made voting harder for people of color and young people, two groups critical to her
chances of winning the presidency. Clinton slammed Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) for closing 31 driver-licensing offices in
rural, mostly black areas, eliminating a source for the — government-issued photo ID that is now required to vote in Alabama.
Hillary Clinton: Gun Ban, Confiscation "Worth
Considering". Democrat Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton stated on Friday [10/16/2015] that she was in support of the concept
of the "Australian Model" of gun control, which hinges upon bans of most common firearms and confiscation of the same through forced buybacks.
Hillary's
gun confiscation proposal is going to backfire in a big way. Allahpundit wrote yesterday [10/16/2015] about Hillary Clinton's
startling lurch to the left on guns. The story dealt largely with her fascinating suggestion that the United States should look at a
"buyback program" similar to Australia's draconian laws which they instituted in 1996 following a mass shooting in Tasmania. (Barack
Obama made the same reference last year, by the way, though it never went anywhere.) As AP noted, this wasn't a gun buy back program
such as many states and municipalities have offered. It was mandatory confiscation with a modest cash reimbursement to soften the blow.
Hillary was "Human" and "Likable"
Last Week But She's "Tough" and "Candid" This Week. She's now considering adding the issues of radical black Marxists to
her platform. She met with BlackLivesMatter on Friday [10/9/2015]. "We had a tough conversation about de-centering the
police as the key mechanism to ensuring safety in communities. And we also had a spirited conversation about alternatives to
policing," Deray McKesson, one of the leaders of the Campaign Zero, a Black Lives Matter group — told Politico.
These people want the police out of their neighborhoods completely. The meeting held at the National Council of Negro Women in
Washington D.C. is in preparation for her criminal justice reform platform which she will roll out in the next few weeks.
Hillary
tells Black Lives Matter she'll end private prisons. Hillary Clinton reportedly told leaders of the Black Lives Matter
movement on Friday [10/9/2015] she will get rid of private prisons. The meeting with Black Lives Matter comes a day after Clinton
was heckled by a protester at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala over her ties to the private prison lobby.
Hillary
Clinton and your right to self-defense. She who has ripped into Republicans for seeking political gain from the
four American deaths in Benghazi, Libya, now seeks her own political gain from the dozens of murdered children and young
adults in Newtown, Connecticut, and Roseburg. On the heels of the latter and referring to both tragedies, she launched an
emotional attack early this week on the two most recent Supreme Court decisions upholding the personal right to keep and bear
arms. She offered to "fix" them should she be elected president. Her so-called fix consists of a dead-on-arrival
legislative proposal making gun manufacturers financially liable for the misuse of their products and an executive order
determining the meaning of certain words used in federal statutes.
Hillary
Clinton's Simple-Minded Gun Control Ideas. After a gunman murdered nine people at a community college in Oregon
last week, President Obama said the solution to such violence is obvious. "It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to
inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun," he declared. The problem is that we generally do not know
a gun buyer "wants to inflict harm on other people" until he does it. That reality shows the folly of relying on background
checks or psychiatric intervention to prevent mass shootings.
Hillary Will Grab your
Guns, With or Without Congress' Help. What Hillary Clinton is doing here is making the mistake of believing that the news
media she watches all day is representative of the American people as a whole. In fact, they are not. For the last two months
solid, the news media has ghoulishly fixated on every tragedy that has occurred in this country and tried to pound home the message that
everyone believes it is too easy in this country to buy a gun. Their transparent campaign has backfired spectacularly.
Hillary Clinton doesn't like that
Constitution thing. Our national institutions were designed to be managed by honorable men. The seven long years
under Obama have shown that even though our institutions are two centuries old they cannot resist sustained attacks by the executive
branch. Never, ever lose sight of the fact that even though Clinton seems to be a doddering old coot she is actually the same
stripe of vicious and unprincipled socialist as Obama.
Hillary
Clinton Pushes Change Allowing Shooting Victims To Sue Gun Makers In Wake Of Oregon Attack. In the wake of the
attack on Umpqua Community College (UCC) Hillary Clinton is pushing new regulations on gun shows and a change in laws
allowing shooting victims and their families to sue gun manufacturers. [...] Of course, the problem with this approach is
that the UCC gunman passed a background check for his guns, as did almost every mass shooter of note in the last eight years.
Clinton
unveils plan for tighter gun control including executive action, expanded background checks. Democratic presidential front-runner
Hillary Clinton on Monday proposed tighter gun-control measures, including expanded background checks, and suggested that if elected she would
use executive powers to achieve her goals. "I want to push hard to get more sensible restraints," Clinton said on NBC's "Today" show.
"I want to work with Congress, but I will look at ways as president." She called for expanded background checks for firearms sales online
and at gun shows. Clinton also called for closing loopholes in federal laws that allow for gun-sale transactions to be completed if the
buyer's background check is not finished within three days.
Why Hillary Clinton's gun control
proposal is all wrong. The Umpqua Community College in Oregon shooting shows yet another case where guns were banned. With these
killers explicitly picking places where victims are defenseless, at some point it should be impossible to ignore. Clinton's proposals wouldn't
have stopped these attacks. The "universal" background checks on private transfers may raise the cost of law-abiding citizens getting guns.
They wouldn't have stopped any of the mass public shootings during Barack Obama's presidency, including last Thursday's in Oregon. At some point an
enterprising reporter might ask Obama or Clinton to name just one of the cases they have used to push this law where the law would have stopped the attack.
Hillary
Believes Gays Booted From Military Should Receive Honorable Discharges. Hillary Clinton proposed on Saturday
[10/3/2015] that the military records of gays, lesbians, and transgenders who were kicked out of the military be amended to
show they received honorable discharges. This is a major bone tossed to one of the most important Democratic Party
constituencies — an indication that Clinton believes her support of gay rights gives her a leg up on her
challengers for the nomination.
Clinton
at private fundraiser: SCOTUS is 'wrong about the Second Amendment'. At a small private fundraiser in New York,
Hillary Clinton slammed the Supreme Court and the National Rifle Association on Second Amendment issues, even going so far as
to say that the Court is "wrong" regarding this provision in our bill of rights.
Hillary
Utterly Unable to Answer How She's Different from Barack, Bill. [Scroll down] However, the second half of
Todd's interview provided a tougher playground for Clinton, who when pressed to identify the ways she would be different from
President Barack Obama, well, couldn't. After mentioning Clinton's repeated talking point that she is not running for Obama's
third term, Todd continued, "What's a couple places you differ?". Clinton dug in her heels and evaded the question with her
best effort. She noted, "I would have a different job."
Hillary
Clinton: We Should Have a 25 Percent National Tax on All Gun Sales. As we continue to focus on Hillary Clinton's use of a
private email server to send and receive top secret, classified information, it's important to remain focused on the rest of her record
as well. Gun control will no doubt be a topic of debate as the 2016 presidential election inches closer and anti-Second Amendment
Clinton has a lot of explaining to do. American's For Tax Reform is out with a new piece reminding voters of testimony then First
Lady Clinton gave back in 1993 when she called for a 25 percent tax on all gun sales. Although her statement was reported by
mainstream outlets at the time, it hasn't been reported by any media outlet for more than 20 years.
The Editor says...
Even a 200 percent sales tax on guns wouldn't keep guns out of the hands of homicidal/suicidal maniacs who have
reached the end of their respective ropes and have no further need for money.
Hillary
Clinton bows to left, takes swipe at Wall Street. Bowing to pressure from liberal activists, Democratic
presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday [8/31/2015] threw her support behind legislation that would close the
"revolving door" between Wall Street and the federal government. Mrs. Clinton co-authored an op-ed with Sen. Tammy Baldwin,
Wisconsin Democrat, voicing support for Ms. Baldwin's bill that would end huge payouts or "golden parachutes" that Wall Street
firms lavish on executives who leave to work in the federal government.
Hillary
Clinton Campaigns On Gun Control and Calls for a National Gun Registry. Hillary Clinton is coming after our guns big time.
The very core of her campaign is Universal Background Checks. If that goes through it will create a national gun registry and you will
no longer be able to sell your guns to whoever you want to. She also wants all gun owners licensed. These are precursor steps to
seizing and banning guns. Clinton is blunt about it and feels it is a winning position for her. How? Most of America owns
guns and cherishes their Second Amendment rights. They abhor a registry as unconstitutional and they detest being taxed for ownership.
Hillary
Clinton Really Is Coming For Your Guns. Some politicians talk about gun control once in a while. Clinton
has been pushing to curb firearms for decades. No wonder the NRA has vowed to bring her down.
Hillary
Clinton vows to be gun-control president. "We have got to do something about gun violence in America —
and I will take it on," Mrs. Clinton said in an on-camera statement to reports while on campaign trail in Iowa. In an
emotional plea for more restrictive gun laws, Mrs. Clinton said that too many people known that the availability of firearms
is a problem in the United States but avoid the subject because "it is hard."
5
Reasons Why Hillary Clinton Should Drop Out Of The Race. [#4] Hillary Clinton is a hard leftist. Don't mistake
her for husband Bill, who often governed as a moderate Democrat. She's not as far left as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a
self-identified socialist, but she's close enough. Her campaign has been filled with calls to "topple" the 1% —
a group she belongs to — and to take private money out of political campaigns. She yowls about income and wealth
inequality and talks about "fairness" as if it were something that could be achieved if government just had more power and authority.
Why Progressives Are Wrong to
Revere Margaret Sanger. Margaret Sanger is a saint in the feminist church. She is a charter member of the progressive
hall of fame. Liberals revere this woman who preached "race improvement" and denounced what she called "human weeds". Hillary
Clinton glows that she is "in awe of" Sanger. She said so in 2009 upon receiving Planned Parenthood's "highest honor" that year:
its coveted Margaret Sanger Award. Likewise effusive was Nancy Pelosi when she proudly accepted the award in 2014. Speaking to
Planned Parenthood a year earlier, President Barack Obama, hailed the organization founded by this racial eugenicist committed to creating
a "race of thoroughbreds" and purging America's "race of degenerates."
Yet Another Tuitiion-Exploding Education Subsidy, This
Time From Hillary. If elected president, Hillary Clinton has promised to spend $350 billion to make college "more
affordable." The U.S. already has an $18 trillion debt (and growing by the day), but Clinton wants to add to it. That's
not affordable.
Hillary
Clinton Says All Cops and Judges are Racists Against Black Men. Hillary Clinton went on the Al Sharpton radio show on
Sunday [8/9/2015] and said that all cops are racist toward black men. During the conversation, she said, "I believe we need to
end the era of mass incarceration. If you compare arrest records in, you know, in charging of crimes, in convicting of crimes,
in sentencing for crimes, you compare African-America men to white men, it is as unfortunately clear as it could be that there is a bias
in favor of white men" who are arrested and charged. She goes on to praise Obama's task force on policing "roadmap for reforms."
Hillary
Wants Debt-Free College (Just Like Bernie!). [Scroll down] Yes, lots of people
have borrowed lots of money, myself included. Occasionally, that money becomes difficult to pay
back. And the cost of college is fundamentally out of whack with the economy, of course:
as the supply of schools increases for students and demand for higher education decreases for colleges, it
follows that higher education costs should go down and not up, even if the majority of the students
attending those schools are getting useless degrees in mid-century French film. But that's not what's
happening — as the years go on, college gets more expensive and less necessary,
and students are paying back scads of money to the Federal government without an end in sight.
Hillary's
College Plan: Bribe Kids to Vote Dem. Of course Hillary Clinton rolled out a
college tuition program that will tax the living daylights out of the Evil Rich to shower students
with "free" goodies. That was always how this was going to work. From the day Obama seized
control of student loans under ObamaCare and blew them into orbit, dumping tons of fresh debt on the
shoulders of young people to handle ridiculously inflated tuition, the endgame was always about
buying the votes of those kids with debt relief. Like ObamaCare itself, the degeneration of academic
finance is a bid to subjugate the middle class, making them helplessly dependent on government handouts to
finance something people in a stronger, more independent America handled on their own.
Hillary Clinton, Reactionary.
Ostensibly Clinton's candidacy is to be a continuation of her boss's eight years. The problem, however, is that for all
Obama's iconic status, the president polls well below 50% in approval ratings. He lost both the House and Senate, and
the majority of state governorships and legislatures are now Republican, if not solidly conservative. His signature
legacies — Obamacare, the Iran nuke deal, open borders, and massive deficits — poll poorly. Is
borrowing another $8 trillion Clinton's agenda? Cutting another 25% from defense? No one believes that
Obama's liberal boilerplate — more government regulation, zero interest rates, higher taxes, bigger deficits,
smaller defense, more illegal aliens, greater racial hyphenation — is working.
Democratic
leader Hillary Clinton: 'I'd defend' President Obama's plan on power plant emissions.
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday [8/2/2015] quickly jumped aboard
President Obama's plan to impose stricter limits on emissions from power plants, vowing to be a
third term of the Obama administration when it comes to fighting climate change. "It's a good
plan, and as president, I'd defend it," Mrs. Clinton said in a statement.
Hillary
Clinton comes out in support of Planned Parenthood. Hillary Clinton is making her position on Planned
Parenthood very clear: She is in full support of the organization. "I'm proud to stand with Planned
Parenthood, I'll never stop fighting to protect the ability and right of every woman in this country to make her
own health decisions," Clinton said in a video released Monday [8/3/2015].
Hillary
begs forgiveness from abortion warriors in new video: I am with you, Planned Parenthood! This is pure
litmus-test material for liberals, something Sanders (or Joe Biden?) could club her with if she stayed silent,
especially after she already antagonized them with what she said about the clips. Plus, single women are
arguably the most important constituency to her campaign next year, one where she needs to run up the score
to offset the GOP's advantage with men.
Hillary
Clinton promises to build on Obama climate plan as industry and environmental groups weigh
in. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged Sunday
[8/2/2015] that if elected she will build on a new White House clean-energy program and defend it
against those she called "Republican doubters and defeatists." Clinton was the first 2016
candidate to respond to the ambitious plan that President Obama will debut on Monday. Details
of the program, which aims to cut greenhouse-gas pollution, were released over the weekend.
The new regulation will require every state to reduce emissions from coal-burning power plants.
In a statement Sunday, Clinton called the plan "a significant step forward in meeting the urgent
threat of climate change."
Hillary's 'Progressive'
Demise. Mrs. Clinton has yet to propose a truly new idea. Each of her few policy
positions are regurgitations of populist pabulum that offer nothing innovative, nothing for Americans to
get excited about, no hope to improve the lives of people anywhere on the income spectrum, and no future
for our nation. In short, she is a perfect Progressive.
Clinton
attacks the GOP on climate change. But her plan has a glaring gap. Hillary Clinton has
a new plan to ramp up emissions-free renewable energy. That puts her head-and-shoulders above her
GOP rivals, who range from climate chickens to climate deniers. Nevertheless, her plan is plainly
worse than what she ran on eight years ago — and it has a glaring gap. Ms. Clinton's
proposal came under immediate scrutiny in part because she hasn't taken a strong stand on the controversial
Keystone XL oil pipeline since leaving the State Department. But, like the rest of the debate on
the pipeline, this reaction misses the point. The fate of the planet does not depend on a single oil
infrastructure project but on the high-level policy that will shape the market for clean energy. On
this, Ms. Clinton has some ideas; the problem is that they are all second-best ideas.
The Failed Missionary.
[Scroll down] [President Obama] has created a position at the State Department for a roving gay activist,
called the nation's "first special envoy for the human rights of L.G.B.T. persons," to meddle abroad.
Obama has dispatched that envoy to Africa but he wouldn't dare send him to an Islamic conference, say, in
Riyadh. Should Hillary Clinton win the presidency, such positions will multiply. She was the
first Secretary of State to declare gay activism abroad to be a "priority of our foreign policy."
Hillary
channels Margaret Sanger. Let's see what Mrs. Clinton finds so laudable about the
well-known Margaret Sanger: a leading voice of eugenics, defined as a belief in the possibility of
improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, especially by such means as
discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable
undesirable traits. This selfsame philosophy (and its disproven pseudo-science) informed Nazi
Germany's racial policies and extermination of Jews and so-called "life not fit for life."
Essentially, Mrs. Sanger's view was the creation of a (white) "master race" by determining or
otherwise controlling who has children. [...] That was the underlying purpose of Planned Parenthood,
started by "trailblazer" Sanger in 1916. So why would Mrs. Clinton proudly accept such a dubious
honor named for such a nefarious character (especially in light of the history, of which it is
reasonable to assume she is aware) and further defend that organization today with the exposure of
business practices that would have given Adolf Hitler pause?
Hillarynomics
is an unoriginal mess of bad policy. Hillary Clinton thinks quarterly earnings reports
are bad. She believes something called "short termism" from activist investors like Carl Icahn is
the root of all economic evil. And therefore, according to Hillary, if we all just focused on the
long term by jacking up capital-gains taxes, the country would return to those economic halcyon days
when she and her husband were running things out of the White House. At least that's what Clinton
proposed Friday in a speech at NYU, in which she strained to sound populist about Wall Street lest
she get out-demagogued by Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren.
Hillary
Clinton's Clean Energy Plan Is A Farce. Clinton says she has two big goals that she'll
start working on "day one" to combat climate change. First is to expand solar energy supplies by
700% by installing half a billion solar panels by 2020. Second is to power "every home in America"
with renewable energy by 2027. She describes these as "bold national goals." The more
appropriate label is "expensive pipe dream."
Hillary
Clinton Pledges to Install 500 Million Solar Panels if Voted President. Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Sunday [7/26/2015] made tackling climate change one of her
key goals were she to enter the White House, pledging to have more than half a billion solar panels
installed nationwide by the end of her first term in office. Clinton also called for a major
increase in other renewable-energy sources, saying she wants every U.S. home to be powered by clean
energy within a decade, reports Reuters.
The Editor says...
My house is already powered by clean energy, for indeed there is no such thing as dirty energy.
Hillary
Clinton Calls Out GOP Climate Change Deniers in New 'Stand With Reality' Video.
Hillary Clinton today attacked the Republican presidential contenders who deny "the settled science
of climate change" and laid out two renewable power goals in a new video that outlines part of her
plan to tackle global warming. [...] "You don't have to be scientist to take on this urgent
challenge that threatens us all. You just have to be willing to act," she continues.
The Editor says...
Global warming at the rate of one degree per century is not an urgent problem, nor does it threaten us all.
In fact, it doesn't threaten anybody, especially since it has now stopped, all by itself.
The
holes in Hillary Clinton's climate plan. Hillary Clinton's newly unveiled climate
vision sounds ambitious on its face: 500 million new solar panels from coast to coast, eco-minded
energy tax breaks and enough green power to keep the lights on in every U.S. home. But just as glaring
are the details she left out. Does Clinton support or oppose the Keystone XL oil pipeline? Or Arctic
offshore drilling? Or tougher restrictions on fracking? Or the oil industry's push to lift the 1970s
ban on exporting U.S. crude oil? Clinton avoided all those questions in the solar-heavy climate plan she
outlined Sunday night [7/26/2015] and in her speech promoting it Monday in Iowa — and she declined
yet again Monday to say where she stands on Keystone.
Hillary
Clinton talks big on climate change but silent on Keystone XL. Democratic presidential
front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton set ambitious goals to combat climate change Monday [7/27/2015] but still
wouldn't take a position on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that environmentalists warn will contribute to
global warming. Mrs. Clinton has dodged questions about the controversial oil pipeline since the campaign
began, and she again ducked the issue even as she vowed to "decarbonize" America and make it the "world's clean
energy superpower."
Hillary
Clinton resurrects '90s tax policy. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary
Rodham Clinton on Friday [7/24/2015] proposed resurrecting tax policies from the time of her husband,
former President Bill Clinton, that she promised would promote long-term investments and build a stronger
economy. Mrs. Clinton's plan would replace the current two-tiered tax on capital gains —
the profit from selling stock or other assets — with a six-year graduated rate that penalized
wealthy investors for selling too early.
Hillary
Clinton's Great Depression Strategy. Hillary Clinton didn't mention 1934 in her speech
today about fighting short-termism, but she could have. The last time the U.S. taxed capital gains
roughly the way she wants to was from 1934 to 1941, from the depths of the Great Depression to the eve of
World War II. In other words, when it comes to tax policy, everything old is new again. In a
speech at New York University's Stern School of Business, the Democratic presidential candidate said that
giving preferential tax treatment to investments that are held longer would give investors an incentive
to be more patient so companies could embark on projects with big upfront costs and long-term payoffs.
"We need a new generation of committed, long-term investors to provide a counterweight to the hit-and-run
activists," Clinton said.
Hillary
Clinton Defends Embattled Planned Parenthood'. Hillary Clinton strongly defended
Planned Parenthood Thursday [7/23/2015] as the women's health organization reels from the fallout
over a sting video released by anti-abortion activists earlier this month. "For more than a
century, Planned Parenthood has provided essential services for women," Clinton said while
campaigning at a community college in Greenville, South Carolina. "And I think it is unfortunate
that Planned Parenthood has been the object of such a concerted attack for so many years. And it's
really an attack against a woman's right to chose."
Nigh
Inconceivably Stupid Would Be a Fair Phrase For Clinton's Tax Hike. The worst sectors
of the worst recovery since World War II are business investment in new plants and equipment and new
business start-ups. These are the biggest job-creators, and their slump is a key reason for the
sub-par labor recovery, with low participation rates and high involuntary part-time workers. So
if investment is the problem, what does Hillary Clinton go out and do? She proposes jacking up the
tax on investment. It's almost inconceivably stupid.
Hillary
Clinton Calls Law Protecting Lives of Viable Infants 'Extreme and Unacceptable'. This
week, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker signed a law protecting the lives of infants after the fifth
month of pregnancy (or 20 weeks after conception), a point in human development when babies can feel
pain and survive long-term if born prematurely. The law includes an exeption for cases in which a
physical health issue endangers the life of the mother, but Hillary Clinton still denounced the late-term
abortion ban as an "extreme and unacceptable" measure: [...]
Hillary
Clinton Calls Law Protecting Lives of Viable Infants 'Extreme and Unacceptable'. Republicans in Congress
have not only tolerated the legality of abortion in pregnancies that result from rape, they have voted since 1993 for
laws allowing federal Medicaid funding of abortions in these extreme cases in order to prohibit funding in more than
99 percent of other cases. But even if one accepts this exception for principled or prudential reasons, it
does not follow that this exception must exist in the ninth month of pregnancy. So does Clinton support any limits
on abortion? She has given conflicting answers over the years, and her campaign still hasn't answered several
questions about her position on late-term abortion and taxpayer-funded abortion[.]
Hillary Clinton
supports infanticide. Here the "rape and incest" mantra is just stupid. Even if we
assume a child conceived through rape or incest is totally worthy of death, the idea that a woman could
wait for 20 weeks or more to make the decision is ludicrous. The recent videos of the Planned
Parenthood baby parts brokering business leads one to the obvious conclusion that the reason the pro-aborts
are fighting so hard over 20 weeks is because that is where the real money is made. The organs
of post-20 week infants are in demand with medical researchers and the researchers don't want organs
from babies with "serious fetal anomalies." They want normal and healthy organs.
Hillary
Clinton Attacks Scott Walker's 20-Week Abortion Ban as 'Dangerous,' 'Extreme And Unacceptable. [Wisconsin
Gov. Scott] Walker signed into law on Monday [7/20/2015] in Wisconsin a bill that bans abortions in his state after
20 weeks, when babies in the womb are widely considered to have reached a threshold in their development before
birth where they can feel pain. [...] "Gov. Walker signed dangerous abortion restrictions into law in WI —
without exceptions for rape or incest. Extreme and unacceptable," she [Hillary Clinton] Tweeted late Monday evening.
The Editor says...
Does Mrs. Clinton believe that a baby conceived by an act of rape or incest cannot
feel pain, or deserves to feel pain? How does anyone know with any certainty that unborn babies
can't feel pain prior to 20 weeks?
National
Security Expert Slams Hillary's 'Assault' On Free Speech. Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton put her willingness to defend the Constitution in serious doubt when she
promised Islamic countries the United States government would intimidate Americans who violate their
free speech code, national security expert Stephen Coughlin told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
As Secretary of State, Clinton promised an international Islamic organization in 2011 that the United
States government would "use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming" to intimidate
Americans who improperly criticize Islam or Muhammad.
It's
time to get Clinton and the rest of the Democratic field on the record about the Planned Parenthood
scandal. On Tuesday, America's largest abortion company was found to be harvesting
fetal parts for a tidy profit. Within days, other abortion industry atrocities were revisited, the
House initiated a congressional investigation of Planned Parenthood, and the cry for Planned Parenthood's
defunding became front-page news. Front page news, that is, if you're not Hillary Clinton or the
rest of the 2016 Democratic presidential field.
The World
Requires Voter ID, but George Soros and Hillary Clinton Are Determined the U.S. Won't.
It's been over seven years since the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision that was written by liberal
favorite John Paul Stevens, declared that voter-ID laws don't constitute an undue burden on people
attempting to vote. But that hasn't stopped liberals from fighting in legislatures and courts
against those laws and other efforts to promote voter integrity. The lawsuits are often brought
by Marc Elias, who doubles as the attorney for Hillary Clinton's campaign. And their efforts
have paid off: Only about 18 states currently require a photo ID to vote.
Hillary
Clinton sounds the alarm on meteorites. Hillary Clinton on Thursday called attention
to a dire security threat: meteorites. Speaking before a town hall in New Hampshire, the
Democratic front-runner said experts should be mapping meteorites and asteroids "on a security basis,"
noting the importance of scientific research and development in stimulating the U.S. economy.
Hillary
Clinton Wants to Run on Climate and She Thinks Democrats Should Too. Hillary Clinton
isn't afraid to talk about global warming — and she wants her fellow Democrats to join
her. In closed-door meetings with House and Senate Democrats Tuesday, Clinton jumped at the
chance to discuss the hot-button topic in political terms, numerous lawmakers said. Clinton
delivered a clear message: Democrats must convince the American public that action to combat
Earth's rising temperatures is urgent, and her party can make that case by tailoring their message
to different kinds of voters.
Hillary
Clinton Is Running On Barack Obama's Policies. Obama's policies in 2014 suffered a
historic trouncing by voters. But they haven't disappeared. Far from it. The agenda that Democratic
front-runner Hillary Clinton, unveiled on Monday [7/13/2015] contains almost the entire arsenal of Obama legislative and
regulatory policies. She strongly endorsed ObamaCare and the Dodd-Frank financial regulations, while calling for more
taxes on businesses, more government spending, more regulations on employers, more union-friendly policies and a higher
minimum wage. She calls it "fair growth."
Hillary: I'm Coming For Your Guns.
A tired millionaire recluse who wants to be President of the United States has decided that she
needs to run to the left of socialist candidate Bernie Sanders in order to claim the Democrat Party
nomination. Her chosen path to outflank Sanders and to energize the radical left is to pledge to
attack the self defense rights of American citizens.
How
the Obama Administration Gutted Illegal Immigration Detainers. In the wake of the
murder of Kathryn Steinle — or, rather, the news coverage of her murder —
Democrats are back-pedaling from their longstanding and consistent support for "sanctuary" cities.
When asked about the issue, Hillary Clinton followed her usual policy: she lied.
Hillary
Clinton Promises Citizenship For 20 Million Illegal Aliens. If you were on the fence
about Hillary Clinton, and I can't imagine that is the case, she just gave you a really good reason
not to vote for her. At a campaign stop in Iowa, the fading democratic frontrunner for the 2016
presidential race promised to grant citizenship to all of the illegal aliens currently in this country,
including those rapists and murderers Donald Trump warned about. "I want people to know that if
they're voting for me, they're voting for comprehensive immigration reform," Clinton told an audience
in Iowa City. So what exactly does Clinton consider "comprehensive immigration reform?"
She gave us a few hints as she slammed Republicans for not passing an amnesty bill.
Hillary
Clinton's plan to end Social Security. Hillary Clinton says she cares about the middle
class, but she doesn't. If she did, why would she want to dramatically reduce future Social Security
benefits, suck unaffordable amounts from young people footing the bill and even risk the program's ultimate
collapse? To be sure, she doesn't say that's what she wants, but it's what her pronounced policy preferences
could lead to as they also mangled the budget and economy and threatened a calamitous fiscal crisis.
Hillary Clinton's
two-faced Israel games. Will the real Hillary Clinton please stand up? In private
sitdowns with wealthy Jewish donors, Politico reports, Clinton is signaling she would be a better
friend to Israel than President Obama has been. That's the same President Obama she served for
four years as the nation's chief foreign-affairs officer and policy-maker — including on the
Middle East.
Hillary
Clinton: Well-Known Candidate of Unknown Positions. The fact Hillary Clinton is well
known is allowing her to keep her policy positions unknown. Thus far her 2016 strategy completely
contradicts 2008's — then Hillary was a policy diva, today we must divine where she stands.
The danger in Clinton's short-term approach is it threatens to increase the long-held questions many
Americans have about her.
All
Four Democratic Presidential Candidates Support 'Sanctuary Cities'. As a senator from
New York, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, twice made public statements backing
sanctuary cities. In 2008, she and two other Democratic candidates, Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders
and former Virginia U.S. Sen. Jim Webb, voted against an amendment that would block federal funds from going
to sanctuary cities. And last year, as governor of Maryland, Martin O'Malley announced that the Baltimore
city jail would stop honoring requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hold illegal
aliens until they could be deported.
Refuting
Hillary's Ridiculous Claim — She Will NOT Be Better For Israel Than Obama. Looking at
Hillary Clinton's history in public life one finds a lifetime of anti-Israel positions. But wait,
Hillary was a big supporter of Israel when she was in the U.S. Senate. Indeed she was, but with
the exception of the time from her first campaign New York's Senate seat in 2000 to her resignation
from the Senate to become Secretary of State in January 2009; except for the time she needed New
York's Jewish voting bloc, Hillary Clinton has never been pro-Israel.
Lanny
Davis: Hillary Clinton 'Hasn't Changed a Single Position in Her Entire Career'. Clinton ally and political strategist
Lanny Davis argued on Fox Business Network that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has never changed her position on
any issue throughout her entire career. [...] "She hasn't changed a single position in her entire career, she has been a progressive
Democrat. So I don't know what you mean by going left. Name me the issue she went left on," Davis said. Well,
since he asked: The Iraq War No Child Left Behind NAFTA and TPP Criminal justice
reform gay marriage The individual mandate Driver's licenses for illegal immigrants ethanol
subsidies But other than that, not much.
Comments
o' the day, spotted at — of all places — The New York Times.
["]I don't care for Mrs. Clinton. She is untruthful and extremely overrated. Much of
her support is based on sympathy because she married a serial philanderer. But lying is now,
for the Democrat Party, the state of the art with respect to campaigning and governing. It's
an indispensable part of modern liberalism. The whole point is that the Democrat elite and
their bureaucrats know better. They know what's good for the masses. The masses are
dumb and do not know what's good for them.["]
Hillary
Clinton is playing the "woman card" too early. [Hillary Clinton] is already talking
about the symbolism of her candidacy as a reason why we should support her. As she said in an
interview with the Des Moines Register in Iowa on Sunday [6/14/2015], "I expect to be judged on my
merits, and the historic nature of my candidacy is one of the merits that I hope people take into
account." Well, her campaign can't be pitched as a third Obama term and her own
post-government private sector money hunt erodes her credibility in championing solutions to income
inequality. Her record as Secretary of State doesn't exactly shine. She doesn't appear
to feel particularly strongly about any particular issue. "Fighting for the middle class"
isn't exactly a fresh, bold appeal.
If
Hillary's Elected President, Get Ready for Massive Obamacare Taxes. The Supreme Court will soon announce its decision in King
v. Burwell, a case that could have far-ranging impact on the Affordable Care Act. The system more commonly known as Obamacare pays
subsidies to taxpayers below 400 percent of the poverty line to cover health-insurance premiums. The plaintiffs in King
argue that the explicit language of the law forbids subsidy payments to those purchasing health insurance outside of a state exchange.
If the Supreme Court decides to follow the explicit textual language of the ACA, people in 34 states could end up with skyrocketing
premiums and no way to pay them.
Hillary
Rodham Clinton: 'There Is Only the Fight'. That was the title of Hillary Rodham's
senior thesis back in her Wellesley College days, a reference to the work of Saul Alinsky, the
Frankfurt School's most noxious avatar and a man of still-outsized influence today, having
intellectually (if you can call it that) bequeathed us not only the Dowager Empress of Chappaqua but
Barack Hussein Obama, both spawned in the petri dish of Alinsky's Chicago. It was a theme she
returned to yesterday, on the occasion of the "relaunch" of her creaky "candidacy" for the Democrat
presidential nomination next year. Fight, fight, fight — the Democrats, it seems,
always want to fight. But who are they fighting for? And who are they really fighting?
No
Kidding: Hillary Clinton wants to be Obama 2.0. As Barack Obama golfed Saturday,
Clinton stood in a glaring sun on Roosevelt Island in the middle of New York City's East River with
an adoring if underwhelming crowd. She even imitated Obama, with a teleprompter scrolling nearly
5,000 words of almost every liberal cliche and talking point you can imagine. Climate change is
"one of the defining threats of our time." We need to make "preschool and quality childcare
available to every child in America. Let's make college affordable and available to all." "We can
renew the promise of our democracy." "We should ban discrimination against LGBT Americans and their
families." "It is way past time to end the outrage of so many women still earning less than men."

Fighting for
the Black Vote. Speaking at the historically black Texas Southern University earlier
this month, Hillary Clinton gave a fiery speech on voting rights. She accused Republicans of
spearheading "a sweeping effort to disempower and disenfranchise people of color, poor people, and
young people from one end of our country to the other." Clinton's rhetoric is pure demagoguery,
a cheap ploy to scare black voters into backing her as strongly as they supported Barack Obama.
But the problem for the GOP is partly of its own making. So long as the party remains ambivalent
about the concerns of black voters, Democrats like Clinton will easily castigate their opponents in
the harshest terms.
Clinton
Gets Everything Wrong on Voting. Hillary Clinton made so many false assertions about
voting in the speech she gave at Texas Southern University that it's hard to know where to start.
Contrary to her contention, no "barriers" are being imposed on eligible Americans that prevent
them from easily registering and voting in our elections. Let's examine Clinton's claims in light
of the facts.
Hillary
moves to the edge of the cliff. Some Democrats concede that moving as far as she can before falling off the
edge of the world is risky business, but when even her staunchest friends say they're for her no matter what because she's
all they've got, the risk doesn't seem so great.
Hillary Plays the Race Card.
Here we are barely at the half-way mark of the year before the presidential election — and right on cue
Hillary Clinton is out there playing the race card, this time using the vehicle of voter ID cards.
Hillary's
Divisive, Reckless Rhetoric on Voting Rights. The late Saul Alinsky, the father of the
community-organizing model that inspired both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, would be delighted.
The man who championed moral relativism in tearing down the establishment ("In war, the end justifies almost
any means") is calling the tune of the Democratic party on voting issues. Last March, President Obama
rhapsodized about what would happen under mandatory voting: "If everybody voted, then it would completely
change the political map in this country." Obama once served as the lawyer for the disgraced and defunct
voter-registration group ACORN, and he is still toeing its line.
Voting Rights is not the
Issue. There are few candidates in recent memory for whom the maxim "the issue is not
the issue" applies more than it does to the Duck 'n' Hide presidential wannabe, Hillary Clinton.
Her current strategy is sensible for someone so surrounded by the stench of corruption, cronyism, and
incompetence. [...] Given the Clinton strategy, which includes refusing to answer questions from reporters
and not taking positions on certain controversial issues while flip-flopping on others, literally
nothing the woman says should be taken at face value.
Hillary Sweeps
Left in Houston, Sells Early Voting as Civil Rights Issue. Hillary Clinton ran one of
the most boring, tired football plays in Houston this week — Wishbone Sweep Left. We've seen it
over and over again: tell Democrats that Republicans are out to bring back Jim Crow, energize a
moribund, racially motivated base by scaring them into thinking the Voting Rights Act has vanished,
and claim that not having a month-long election day means blacks are being targeted for vote "suppression."
The play is tired, familiar, and goes nowhere.
Hillary
goes ugly early with racism claims. Down in Texas for a campaign event aimed at restoring her
relationship with black Democrats who rejected her 2008 candidacy, Clinton said that laws requiring voters
to show identification at polls were part of "a sweeping effort to disempower and disenfranchise people of
color, poor people and young people from one end of our country to the other." Note the language
here. It's not a misguided effort with an unfortunate result, it is a deliberate effort to prevent
minorities from voting. That's not just racist, that's evil.
Why
Voting Rights Reforms Aren't a Silver Bullet for Hillary Clinton. In her speech
Thursday [6/4/2015] on voting rights, Hillary Clinton suggested automatically registering all
citizens to vote when they turn 18 as well as expanding early voting and online registration.
Measures by Republican-controlled state legislatures to tighten voter ID laws and limit early and
weekend voting hurt minority, poor, and young voters the most, she said. As many have noted, the
support of those groups is seen as crucial for Mrs. Clinton to win the White House. But the struggle
between Republicans and Democrats over voting administration isn't at the core of what's causing voters to
disengage from the political process. There are benefits to making it easier for people to register,
but it would take a lot more to energize potential voters who have been sitting out.
Hillary Needs a Faux War on Voting Rights.
Hillary Clinton was in Texas on Thursday [6/4/2015] doing what she usually does: not taking
questions from the press while seeking ways to energize the Democratic base. In this case, her focus
on highlighting a key issue for Democrats: voting rights. But contrary to the overheated rhetoric
she and other members of her party are employing, this has little to do with fighting actual efforts to stop
minorities from voting and everything to do with creating a sense of crisis, particularly among
African-Americans, that Republicans are seeking to put them "back in chains." The main focus
of this effort is to invalidate laws requiring voters to have photo IDs while seeking to institute
weeks-long periods of early voting.
On
Day of Massive Data Breach, Hillary Clinton Advocates Voter Registration Enabled by 'Technology'.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Thursday [6/4/2015] called for "universal, automatic voter
registration" enabled by "technology." Coincidentally, but notable nevertheless, the federal government
announced the largest data breach in its history just hours after Clinton told a crowd in Texas that Oregon is
"already leading the way" in modernizing its voter registration system — "and the rest of the country
should follow," she said. "The technology is here," Clinton said — on a day when that technology
appeared particularly vulnerable.
Clinton
calls out GOP opponents by name on voting rights. Hillary Clinton accused four potential
GOP presidential rivals by name of being "scared of letting citizens have their say" as she called
Thursday [6/4/2015] for every American to automatically be registered to vote. Clinton told an
audience at the historically black Texas Southern University that she supports the concept of signing
every American up to vote as soon as they're eligible at age 18, unless they specifically opt out.
She called for expanded access to polling places, keeping them open for at least 20 days and
offering voting hours on evenings and weekends.
Hillary
to Call for Expansion of Early Voting Scam Nationwide. In whatever universe the
Democrats are inhabiting, the two most difficult things to do seem to be getting an ID or reading a
calendar to plan for 30 minutes at the polls. While I don't think it helps much to immediately
dismiss people on the other side of the political aisle as stupid, the Democrats keep asking us to
treat them that way. The notion that current early voting laws are "restrictive" is laughable.
How
Hillary Clinton Wants to Change Voting Rights Laws. At a campaign event, Clinton is expected to
lay out specific policy proposals to address laws that she believes suppress voting — including
calling for a nationwide minimum of 20 days of early in-person voting, according to an aide.
Clinton is expected to announce her proposals to tackle "assaults to voting rights" during remarks at the
Texas Southern University, a historically all-black college, in Houston, Texas, where she is receiving the
Barbara Jordan Public-Private Leadership Award.

To Hillary: Look At Your Own Office Before 'Lecturing Others' On Equal Pay For Women.
Carly Fiorina kept up her tough rhetoric on Hillary Clinton Wednesday, saying the former secretary
of state should worry about her own staff and stop "lecturing others" on equal pay for women. [...]
The former Hewlett-Packard CEO was pointing to the revelation that Clinton paid her women staffers
72 cents for every dollar she paid a man during her tenure in the U.S. Senate.
Hillary's
Support of Sleazy Corporate Welfare Is a Political Gift — If the GOP Will Seize It.
Hillary Clinton is an artful dodger when it comes to taking positions on lots of issues, but last Friday [5/22/2015]
she opened a clear gap between herself and virtually every possible GOP presidential candidate. Breaking with
sincere progressives such as Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, Hillary went out of her way to endorse the Export-Import
Bank, a little-known government agency that guarantees loans so that American corporations can sell products overseas.
Its charter is set to expire on June 30 unless Congress rescues it from critics who have long opposed its record
of funneling the vast majority of its loans to mega-companies such as Boeing, General Electric, and Caterpillar —
all of which can easily secure trade financing on their own. But Hillary appears to have no trouble embracing such
corporate welfare.
Hillary's
campaign-finance reform advocacy isn't hypocrisy, it's self protection. Hillary Clinton is making campaign
finance reform a major plank of her presidential run. Laugh if you like at this risible pledge from a candidate who
will shatter all previous fundraising records. But don't call it hypocrisy. It's something worse than hypocrisy.
Clinton, in advocating the same restrictions on political speech Democrats have sought for years, is pushing for a legal regime
that would protect her from criticism while increasing her power and her own fundraising advantages.
Cisneros:
Hillary Clinton's only option for VP is Castro. Henry Cisneros told a Spanish-language television network that
Julian Castro is Hillary Clinton's first and only option to run as her vice presidential running mate. Cisneros told
Univision's Félix De Bedout that people within the Clinton campaign have told him that Castro, the Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development and former San Antonio mayor, is "the first person on their list."
The Editor says...
Fidel Castro would be an even better match than Julian. He has leadership experience and probably
agrees with the entire Democratic Party platform.
Hillary
Clinton's betting that America is moving left. Polls show that despite two months of
problematic stories about destroyed emails and discomfiting revelations about the behavior of the
foundation that bears her last name, she remains wildly popular among Democrats. That fact
should give her all the running room in the world — and usually when presidential
candidates have running room, they run as fast to the center as they possibly can.
Hillary
Clinton's hypocritical bid to settle a grudge and smash free speech. Her fans may see
it as a principled stand, but we suspect it's just Hillary Clinton holding another grudge against
her critics. According to The Washington Post, Clinton told a roomful of supporters (behind
closed doors) that as president she would require her Supreme Court nominees to pledge in advance to
overturn the 2010 Citizens United decision. That's the case where the high court upheld the right
of a conservative group to air its anti-Clinton documentary, "Hillary: The Movie," and run ads for
it during the 2008 Democratic primaries.
Litmus test: Hillary
Clinton's litmus test for Supreme Court nominees: a pledge to overturn Citizens United. Hillary
Clinton told a group of her top fundraisers Thursday [5/14/2015] that if she is elected president, her nominees
to the Supreme Court will have to share her belief that the court's 2010 Citizens United decision must be
overturned, according to people who heard her remarks.
The
Unassailable Virtue of Victims. If Hillary Clinton wins the presidency in 2016 she
will not only be the nation's first woman president but our second affirmative-action president.
By affirmative-action president I mean that she, like Barack Obama, will have got into office partly
for reasons extraneous to her political philosophy or to her merits, which, though fully tested
while holding some of the highest offices in the land, have not been notably distinguished. [...]
How have we come to the point where we elect presidents of the United States not on their intrinsic
qualities but because of the accidents of their birth: because they are black, or women, or, one day
doubtless, gay, or disabled — not, in other words, for themselves but for the causes they
seem to embody or represent, for their status as members of a victim group?
Hillary
Clinton, Immigration Extremist. If you like President Barack Obama's constitutionally dubious
expansions of presidential power, you'll love President Hillary Clinton. Obama has repeatedly insisted
that the Constitution poses limits on his ability to set immigration policy, and then has repeatedly blown
through those limits. In 2011, he was asked to grant "administrative relief" from deportation to
immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as minors. He responded that it was "just not
true" that he had the authority to do so, and that suggestions to the contrary were getting in the way
of passing legislation that would provide real relief.
Clinton's
bold campaign promises stun immigration advocates, baffle White House. Hillary Rodham
Clinton's campaign pledge to give pro-immigration activists almost everything they want —
including expanding President Obama's deportation amnesty to more illegal immigrants —
wowed activists but also left them wondering whether she was merely pandering to Hispanic voters.
Her bold immigration agenda also gave pause to the White House, which has argued that Mr. Obama has
gone as far as legally possible to unilaterally change immigration laws. Cesar Vargas, co-director
of the anti-deportation Dream Action Coalition, said activists wanted more than words from the
Democratic front-runner after Mr. Obama failed to keep promises to illegal immigrants.
Hillary
In 2003: 'I Am, You Know, Adamantly Against Illegal Immigrants'. Presumed Democratic
Party nominee Hillary Clinton said Tuesday [5/5/2015] that any immigration overhaul must include a path
to "full and equal citizenship." It was one of her many flip-flops in recent years. [...] Clinton's
stance may or may not differ with her potential 2016 opponents, but it definitely differed with what she
said to John Gambling in 2003.
Unearthed
Audio: Hillary Said She's 'Adamantly Against Illegal Immigrants'. Though you wouldn't
know it from her remarks earlier this week, Hillary Clinton was once "adamantly" against illegal
immigration and was for erecting a border fence similar to one that protects Israel. "I am
adamantly against illegal immigrants," then-Sen. Clinton said on the John Grambling radio show in
Feb. 2003. "Certainly we've got to do more at our borders," she said, adding that, "people
have to stop employing illegal immigrants."
Hillary
Clinton's betting that America is moving left. Hillary Clinton is doing the country a
great service. By making it clear she is going to run for president as an unapologetic
left-liberal — with emphasis on the "left" — she has made sure that the 2016
election will be exactly the referendum on America's future it ought to be. She did not have to
make this choice. Polls show that despite two months of problematic stories about destroyed emails
and discomfiting revelations about the behavior of the foundation that bears her last name, she remains
wildly popular among Democrats.
Clinton
swerves harder left than even Obama. Leaving hubby Bill to defend their family
foundation's fundraising foolishness, Hillary Clinton has made another leap to the left in her
basically unchallenged romp to the Democrats' presidential nomination next year.
Hillary's
Foolish Amnesty Double Down. If the current objective of Hillary Clinton's presidential
campaign is to give possible liberal challengers as little room to maneuver as possible then her remarks
on illegal immigration yesterday [5/5/2015] was smart politics. The former secretary of state not
only embraced President Obama's extralegal executive orders granting amnesty to millions of illegals but
also went further signaling her support for an easy path to citizenship for all 11 million people
currently in this country without permission. By tilting to the left in this manner, Clinton believes
she is making it harder for a credible opponent to outflank her with the base of the Democratic Party.
Even more, she appears to think that by doubling down on amnesty, she is guaranteeing a heavy Hispanic
turnout in 2016 that will vote for her over any possible Republican rival.
Hillary
Clinton says Obama's immigration orders are 'just the beginning'. Hillary Rodham Clinton threw down
the immigration gauntlet on Tuesday [5/5/2015] and pledged that she would extend President Barack Obama's executive
orders past their current boundaries if she were to succeed him in the White House. 'I will fight for
comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship,' she told a Las Vegas roundtable of illegal immigrant
high school students, including one who said he was transgender and another who identified herself as a lesbian.
Hillary
Clinton goes all in on immigration; pledges to outdo Obama. Hillary Clinton held a
Cinco de Mayo event with illegal immigrants in Nevada Tuesday — "an especially appropriate
day for us to be having this conversation" — in which she promised to go farther than
President Obama in using executive authority to confer legal status on illegal immigrants, and to
ultimately to award them U.S. citizenship. No matter what Republicans might offer to illegal
immigrants in terms of legal status, Clinton said, she will offer more. Changing the immigration
system will be a top priority should she become president, Clinton said. "We can't wait any
longer. We can't wait any longer for a path to full and equal citizenship."
Hillary
Clinton Just Told Immigration Activists What They Wanted to Hear. What activists
really wanted to know ahead of the speech was whether Clinton was prepared to pick up where Obama
left off on executive actions. She gave them an answer. "I will fight for comprehensive
immigration reform and a path to citizenship for you and for your families across our country," she
said Tuesday [5/5/2015].
Clinton
speaks forcefully for path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Staking a strongly
liberal position on the divisive issue of immigration, Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday [5/5/2015]
that she wants to ensure that illegal immigrants can gain full citizenship under a reform of the patchwork
system and the limited protections President Obama has put in place in the meantime. Republicans
want to make sure immigrants can never be more than "second-class" Americans, the Democratic presidential
candidate said in sharply partisan remarks that could shake up the presidential contest by pushing
immigration to the fore.
The Editor says...
Hillary is right (and at the same time, wrong) about one thing: I don't want illegal immigrants
to be "more than 'second-class' Americans; in fact, I don't want illegal immigrants to get the idea
that they are Americans at all.
Clinton
To Endorse Path To Citizenship For Illegal Immigrants. Hillary Clinton will endorse a
pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants during a campaign stop at a Nevada high school Tuesday
[5/5/2015], according to reports. Politico's Playbook reports that during a roundtable at the
majority Hispanic Rancho High School, Clinton is expected to call for a comprehensive immigration
reform plan that includes "nothing less than a full and equal path to citizenship" for illegal
immigrants.
Hillary
Equates Gun Owners With Terrorists, Says They're "Prone to Violence.". Democrat Presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton thinks that "gun free zone" signs work, twice claims that modern sporting rifles
are "automatic weapons," and states that owners of the most popular rifle sold in the United States today
are a small group "that terrorizes the majority of people." The June 17, 2014 interview shows
just how out of touch Clinton is with a nation where the majority of people in this country who favor gun
rights. Clinton went on to bizarrely claim that those who do not bow to her views on gun control are
"prone to violence."
Clinton
Proposal Could Allow Feds to Ban Book Critical of Clinton Foundation. Hillary Clinton's proposal to
get money out of politics could allow the federal government to restrict or ban the publication of a book that has
embroiled her presidential campaign in controversy, experts say. Clinton called for a constitutional amendment
to "get unaccountable money out of" politics in an op-ed for the Des Moines Register published Monday. Her
campaign did not respond to requests for additional details, but legal experts say similar efforts over the past
two years would have profound effects on Americans' free speech rights.
Likely Felon Hillary Clinton: Let's Open Up All
the Prisons. [Scroll down] WaPo black-and-gay-issues writer Jonathan Capeheart
got a round of approbation for admitting that everything he thought he knew about the Brown shooting
was a lie, and then, a couple of weeks later, listed Brown anyway in the List of the Fallen Black
Innocents. Hillary Clinton is claiming that our jailed are filled with the indiscriminately-imprisoned —
that "masses" of people are just winding up in jail. It is one thing to call for criminal justice
reform. It is another thing entirely to demagogue the issue from a hard leftwing viewpoint and claim
that "masses" of prisoners — most of them — are essentially politically prisoners.
Hillary
channels Madame Mao: 'deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed'.
Barack Obama was a piker when he wrote about audacity. Hillary Clinton seems to be calling for nothing less than a Great
Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the United States, mimicking Mao Zedong's wife Jiang Qing, who sought
to overturn millennia of Chinese culture in order to impose a communist paradise through the Cultural
Revolution. But of course, Hillary was urging the rejection of our religious and cultural heritage
in order to facilitate the killing of unborn children.
Hillary
On Abortion: 'Deep-Seated Cultural Codes, Religious Beliefs And Structural Biases Have To Be
Changed'. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took a feminist tone on
Thursday [4/23/2015]. She told attendees at the sixth annual Women in The World Summit that "deep-seated
cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed" for the sake of giving women access
to "reproductive health care and safe childbirth." "Far too many women are denied access to reproductive
health care and safe childbirth, and laws don't count for much if they're not enforced. Rights have to
exist in practice — not just on paper," Clinton said.
Hillary
Clinton conveniently evolving. We are all familiar with then-Senator Obama defending
traditional marriage in 2008. Mr. Obama used Christianity and God to justify his position.
We learned later from Mr. Axelrod that the whole thing may have been just a little "lie" to appeal to
black Americans. In other words, he was always for same-sex marriage but did not have the courage
to share that with voters in 2008. The latest discovery is Hillary Clinton in 2004, or back in the
days when she was a hawk on Iraq and defending traditional marriage.
Hillary
at meeting with economists: We need to "topple" the wealthiest one percent. It takes a net worth of around $8 million to
join "the one percent." The Clintons' net worth is estimated at $55 million; Hillary alone got a cool $14 mil as an advance
for her dismal memoir "Hard Choices." The electorate's usually willing to let populists slide on their personal wealth — FDR
is the ultimate example but John Edwards was a lefty heartthrob for a time as recently as 2008 — but I wonder if they'll be so
forgiving for Hillary.
Martin
O'Malley Slams Hillary for Late Evolution on Gay Marriage, Driver's Licenses for Illegals. On
Thursday [4/16/2015], former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley criticized Hillary Clinton for her late
evolution on gay marriage and driver's liceses for illegal immigrants. Clinton's team this week
said she believes gay marriage is a "constitutional right" and illegal immigrants should receive driver's
licenses. When she ran for president in 2008, Clinton opposed gay marriage and driver's licenses
for illegal immigrants (after much waffling).
Hillary Clinton
pushes Supreme Court on same-sex marriage. As recently as a year ago, Hillary Clinton
was sparring with a public radio host about her position on same-sex marriage, defending her past
reticence to discuss the issue and falling well short of full-throated support. Now, in a markedly
new position, Clinton is offering just that, calling gay marriage a right afforded by the Constitution.
Hillary Clinton
on Guns: Not a Big Fan. The presidential candidate, who once supported licensing and
registration, says resistance to gun control "terrorizes" the nation.
When
and how will Hillary Clinton break from President Obama's foreign policy? Over the
next 20 months, how many enemies of the United States can President Obama outright lose to or
accommodate? He has embraced Cuba, acquiesced to Iran and gone silent on Syria and continues to
be ignored by Russia; he has done much to embolden our adversaries. Meanwhile, our allies —
from Britain and Canada to Japan, Egypt and Israel — are at best bewildered and at worst disgusted
with how this administration has conducted foreign policy over the past six years.
Hillary
Clinton Won't Spell Out Position on Late-Term Abortion. Former secretary of state
Hillary Clinton is dodging a key question in the abortion debate: Under what circumstances should
late-term abortion be legal? Every declared or likely Republican presidential candidate has
expressed support for legislation that would ban most abortions later than 20 weeks after
conception — or 5 months into pregnancy — when infants can feel pain and survive if
born prematurely. But Hillary Clinton and her spokesman have declined to spell out Clinton's
position on late-term abortion.
The Tough
Questions Hillary Faces As Candidate. First, the political culture has changed
dramatically since 2008. Back then, both she and Barack Obama officially opposed "same-sex
marriage," an issue that has changed the political landscape at light speed — becoming an
intensely polarizing issue that has even challenged previous assumptions about religious freedom.
Today both Obama and Clinton support same-sex marriage, both acknowledging that their views have "evolved"
over the years.
Israel's
future: Hillary Clinton's silence on Netanyahu's win speaks volumes. Following his
election victory, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at length with Fox News host Megyn
Kelly, and with President Obama, but there's no sign that Netanyahu has heard from Hillary Clinton,
who is expected to announce soon that she will run for U.S. president. This stands in stark
contrast to several Republicans contemplating presidential bids who rushed to congratulate Netanyahu
right after his "against all odds" win for his Likud Party.
Hillary
Clinton Endorses FCC's Title II Designation for the Internet. Although Clinton
defended the FCC's attempt to make the internet a public utility, she seemed open to other ideas to
bring about net neutrality. "They have to have a hook to hang it on, so they're hanging it on
Title II," she said, defending the FCC's decision as "the only hook they've got" to bring about
change. Clinton signaled support for "another hook" for net neutrality derived from a "modern 21st
century telecom technology act" but conceded that it was unlikely to happen in the near future.
Hillary
Clinton veers left in search of the Democratic base. Hillary Clinton angrily condemned
the bleakest results of Barack Obama's economy in a recent speech, but didn't dare say who was
responsible for them. "What would Robert Kennedy say about the fact that still, today, more than
16 million children live in poverty in the richest nation on earth," she said in an address to an elite,
well-fed crowd in a Manhattan ballroom at an awards gala to honor the slain Democratic presidential candidate.
Hillary
Clinton looks to shore up support on the left. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic
front-runner for president, is working hard to shore up support among liberals in hopes of tamping
down a serious challenge from the left in the battle for the 2016 nomination. Clinton has aligned
herself firmly with President Obama since the November midterms on a range of liberal-friendly
issues, including immigration, climate change and opening diplomatic relations with Cuba.
Hillary
Clinton: 'I would consider' anti-Citizens United amendment. While eying a potential
presidential run that would surely be boosted by deep-pocketed super PACs, Hillary Clinton said
Monday evening [7/21/2014] that she's open to supporting a constitutional amendment to overturn the
Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which opened the door to the outside groups and the
flood of money that poured into the political process with them.
Dinesh
D'Souza's 'America' warns Hillary Clinton will 'finish off' the country. In his
highly anticipated new book and movie "America," conservative author Dinesh D'Souza is warning that
Hillary Clinton won't be a clone of her moderate husband, but will instead take the baton from
President Obama to continue radicalizing the country and "undo the nation's founding ideals."
"America — Imagine a World Without Her," published by Regnery and set for release
Monday, charges that as students of radical organizer Saul Alinsky, Obama and Clinton could have
enough time to "unmake and then remake America" into a nation the founding fathers wouldn't recognize.
Hillary
Clinton: Gun Laws Are Too Lenient, Must Be 'Reined In'. During a May 6th speech at a National Council
for Behavioral Health conference, while making the case that gun laws are far too lenient and need to be "reined in,"
Hillary Clinton asserted, "We're way out of balance" on guns. According to the National Journal, "Clinton
said she supports Second Amendment rights, [but] she added that there needs to be a proper trade-off between safety
and freedom."
The Editor says...
The government's job is to preserve liberty, not safety.
Pure
coincidence? The 'ban bossy' movement and Hillary's campaign. The bizarre movement to "ban" the word "bossy" because
it allegedly stigmatizes girls struck many people as ridiculous. But on consideration, it is something far more sophisticated
and sinister than mere feminist hyperventilating. Hillary Clinton faces an image problem, and the deep thinkers on her propaganda
team know it. In a debate during the 2008 primary campaign, Barack Obama alluded to it when he called her "likable enough," a
backhanded compliment/slap that stung. The woman who as first lady demanded that military service personnel assigned to the White
House not look her in the face is an imperious, demanding, and frosty sort of person.
Memo
Says Hillary Supports Single Payer Health System. A 20-year-old memo says Hillary Clinton backed a single-payer socialist health
system, believing ObamaCare-like mega-regulation to be "a crock." As president, she'd double down on government control. It's
buried over 60 paragraphs into Alana Goodman's investigative article in the Washington Free Beacon this week about unpublished documents
exposing Clinton's ruthlessness.
Hillary's Racial Politics. Hillary Clinton began her 2016
march to the White House last week, and it wasn't a promising debut. The former first lady and Senator used her first big policy speech since leaving the State
Department to portray American election laws as fundamentally racist. The speech was longer on anecdotes than statistics, so allow us to fill in some of the holes.
Hillary Builds 2016 Campaign on Racial Politics.
Hillary Clinton has worked her way back in the news by making racially-charged remarks to the American Bar Association's annual meeting in San Francisco.
There is, she claimed, an ongoing "assault on voting rights." But the only "assault" going on is a liberal assault on the truth about efforts to protect
the integrity of our election process.
Hillary's race card. Madam Secretary hasn't missed a beat.
She knows that the calling card of Democrats in the Barack Obama era is a polarizing politics that seeks to fire up minority voters by stirring fears of fire
hoses and police dogs. Its basic vocabulary is imputations of racism; its evidentiary standard is low and dishonest; and its ethic is whatever
works — so long as its stirs fear, anger, and resentment. Get ready for Hope and Change 2.0. The latest target is the state of
North Carolina, which is accused of soiling itself with a new voter ID law, among other changes in its election laws.
Campaign themes and slogans:
First 'Rodham,' now 'Clinton' missing
from Hillary's pitch. First the middle name, "Rodham," disappeared, and now the last
name, "Clinton," is MIA in Hillary for America's latest email to donors. Campaign boss Robby
Mook's offer to supporters to donate just $5 to become a "founding donor" never refers to his
candidate "Hillary Clinton." It's just Hillary. "You're all in to elect Hillary as
our next president," he wrote. "You're proud to be one of the first people to get Hillary's
back in this race," he added.
Hillary
Clinton Is Learning All the Wrong Lessons From Obama. Hillary Clinton is clearly
looking to emulate President Obama's historic 2008 campaign as she makes a second bid for the White
House. Her kickoff campaign video features the very constituencies that Obama effortlessly energized
in his first bid for office — working women, minorities, gay voters. She's hired several
of Obama's top advisers to guide her bid, including pollster Joel Benenson and media strategist Jim
Margolis. Even the name of her campaign organization, "Hillary for America," is a throwback to
"Obama for America."
Platform planks and programs from years ago:
Hillary
Clinton (D.-MoveOn.org) Is A Radical. Hillary is not mainstream. She's not even on the far
left bank of the mainstream. She is way, way out there — a genuine '60s girl, and the ideas
and staff she would bring to the White House would represent a sharp break with all that has gone before in
American politics. With as many as six appointments to the Supreme Court in the next eight years (six
Ruth Bader Ginsburgs!) a Hillary Court would be like a Hillary presidency — a radical Bench to
back up a radical Administration. That's the 2008 campaign in a nutshell.
Read this! Hillary's Radical
Skeletons: The former Goldwater girl would write her 1969 thesis for Wellesley College on the ideas of native
Chicago radical Saul Alinsky. … Hillary had one difference with Alinsky: she did not believe street demonstrations
were effective avenues to promote their shared, far-Left values. Instead, she affirmed her commitment to working "inside
the system," because she believed all change came about only by acquiring political power.
How crypto-Marxism won
the Cold War. Today, for the first time in American history we have two — count 'em,
two — hard-core Leftists running for the Democrat Party nomination. The Left hasn't had this
kind of chance for power since Truman defeated Henry Wallace in 1948. Hillary and Obama are Marx twins
who only differ in race and gender. All the media tell us is how great it is to have a woman and a
black man running for president.
Clinton
will eliminate disparities for same-sex couples. Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said she
would defend gay rights as president and eliminate disparities for same-sex couples in federal law, including
immigration and tax policy. Clinton said states such as New Jersey and Massachusetts are extending rights
to gay couples "and the federal government should recognize that and should extend the same access to federal
benefits across the board. I will very much work to achieve that."
Clinton
Calls for $30 Billion for Home Mortgage Crisis. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton returned to one
of her major campaign themes Monday — the economic impact of the home mortgage crisis —
and called on Congress to provide $30 billion to help states and communities lessen the number of
foreclosures.
Cradle-to-college socialism: Hillary Clinton Backs Federal Funding for
'America's Pre-K Movement'. While senators scrambled to pass a financial "rescue" or "bailout" package
that could cost taxpayers up to $700 billion on Wednesday [10/1/2008], Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and
Kit Bond (R-Mo.) called for expanding the public education system to include 3- and 4-year-olds. The
pre-K programs would be paid for by state funding and supplemented by federal grants.
Going After OPEC: Hillary
Clinton says she wants to dismantle OPEC if she becomes president. ... But Clinton's plan to go after OPEC is a slick
PR exercise, and her recent threats against U.S. oil companies are downright dangerous. "(Oil companies) have record
profits," she said, "that they frankly are just sitting there counting because they are not doing anything new to earn it;
they are just taking advantage of what's going on." This is patently false.
Don't Stop Worrying About the
Clintons. On the trail these days, Clinton is waging a campaign whose motto should be "Say
Anything." … "We're going to go after OPEC," she hollered, dismissing it as "monopoly cartel" in which
members "sit in some conference room a couple of times a year, decide how much oil they are going to produce,
and how much they are going to charge for it." It's a nice idea, but her strategy of changing laws to
sue the organization on anti-trust grounds is risible, because it's hard to see how the group would abide
by any U.S. court decision.
The
"Problem" Of Human Freedom: Could it be that a foolish and abusive use of governmental power is a causal factor
with our energy woes? Could it be, as [Bill] O'Reilly suggested, that our government's (and Mrs. Clinton's) prohibition
of domestic energy development is part of the reason we are now held hostage to the "monopoly" of OPEC? Not so, for
Hillary. In her leftist world, the problem is that American citizens are enjoying too much freedom. "Consumers"
and "drivers" behave badly, they drive too much, and they drive the "wrong" vehicles; and American oil corporations (just
as President Carter told us in the 1970's) are once again raking in "windfall profits."
Will
Hillary's 'Secretary Of Poverty' Solve Problems Of The Poor? "I believe we should appoint a
cabinet level position that will be solely and fully devoted to ending poverty as we know it in America," she
solemnly intoned. … The media largely ignored her proposal but her former rival John Edwards applauded it.
The Editor says...
You remember John Edwards — the
champion of the poor, who pays $400 for a haircut.
Hillary's plan
for economic ruin: Hillary Rodham Clinton sat down with The New York Times to outline her
economic plans if elected president, and we now know the sad, sordid facts — how confused the senator is
and how intent she is on ruinous policies. … The Times story tells us that Hillary Clinton is generally
far more skeptical of free trade and free markets than was Bill Clinton as president. The truth
is that relatively unhampered trade has produced literally millions of jobs for this nation. It has
also driven down prices to far greater benefit for America's poor than any dozen new governmental programs
the senator's socialistically inclined imagination might come up with.
Clinton pits herself against business.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) trashed an array of corporate interests in an economic speech in Ohio
Thursday [2/14/2008], vowing that as president she would go after oil, credit-card, insurance, pharmaceutical,
investment, and loan firms.
Clinton: Rein in
special interests. Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, criticized for taking corporate special
interest contributions, proposed restrictions on a wide array of industries Thursday [2/14/2008] … She said
she would rein in oil, insurance, credit card, student loan and Wall Street investment companies and generate
$55 billion a year that would be used for middle-class tax cuts, create jobs and pay for an array of domestic
programs.
The Editor says...
Senator Clinton's feigned objection to "special interests" is a little hard to swallow.
Are the labor unions a "special interest?" Are the
baby-killing feminists a "special interest?"
Is Norman Hsu a "special interest?"
Clinton
Issues Economic Plan. Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign released a 13-page blueprint
for fixing the economy Monday [2/18/2008], detailing the former first lady's plans to achieve universal health
care, address the home foreclosure crisis and develop jobs for the middle class. The pamphlet, which
will be distributed to voters at campaign events and posted online, outlines many of the ideas she talks about
on the campaign trail each day. But by pulling them together, the document resembles a populist manifesto
… with Clinton championing the needs of working-class voters over corporate and business interests.
Liberal
Media is Hillary's Secret Weapon. All you have to do is look it up. How hard is this
to do? It would take a reporter about five nanoseconds. When you've got an "F" from the
National Taxpayers Union, a zero from the National Tax Limitations committee, an eight from
Citizens Against Government Waste, a twelve from the American Conservative Union, an "F" from
the Gun Owners of America, how are you moderate? When you've got a 95 from the ADA,
when you've got a 100 from the Brady campaign against guns, a 93 from the AFL-CIO, a 100 from
the State and County Municipal Employees, that doesn't make you a moderate!
Hillary
would raise taxes on rich. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday [12/13/2007] said her plan for
fiscal responsibility includes tax increases, during a debate at which the Democratic contenders kept it civil
and stressed they will "ask" Americans to sacrifice to achieve their policy goals. "I want to restore the
tax rates that we had in the '90s," said the New York Democrat and former first lady.
Santa Claus
Politics: Senator Hillary Clinton's Christmas commercial, showing various government programs
as presents under a Christmas tree, was a classic example of calculated confusion in politics. Anyone
who believes that the government can give the country presents has fallen for the oldest political illusion of
all — the illusion of something for nothing.
The Hillary Who
Stole Christmas. If you take Hillary's ad remotely as seriously as many are taking Huckabee's,
you're left with a disturbing glimpse of not just Hillary's politics but her vision of government. Her
programs, which would cost billions and billions of dollars by even the most generous accounting, are simply
"gifts" for the American people. No sacrifice, no cost, no strings attached at all — save the price of
your vote.
Candidates lose
fear of wishing 'Merry Christmas'. In Sen. Clinton's Christmas message, Hillary is bundling up
presents for all of us. … "Where did I put 'Universal Pre-K'?" she says. "Ah, there it is." If
you thought Christmas at the mall was too materialistic, this is bonanza time. Message: It Takes A
Santa's Village Staffed By Unionized Government Elves To Raise A Child, and I'm Santa and you're gonna need a
much bigger chimney for all the federal entitlements I'll be tossing down there.
Mrs.
Hillary Clinton and the Neo-Marxist Democrats. Evidence of the resurgence of Marxism, or
neo-Marxism, as a result of the failures of the neo-conservative Bush regime, is evident both in polling data
and in the current debate among the participants in the Democrat primary contest. The leading contender,
Mrs. Hillary Clinton, proffers a specific set of concepts designed to assert a "progressive" or positivistic
policy whose intention is to "improve" the condition of the American people.
Hillary
Rodham, The Making of a Social Radical. Most know that Hillary Rodham Clinton's politics veer to
the outer fringes of the radical Left. But how many understand the reasons for her conversion from
Goldwater conservative to cultural Marxist, and how this would play out during her controversial bid for
the U.S. presidency?
Hillary's Chutzpah: What the Congress needs to do
is give us classical supply-side measures. It needs to incent earning the next dollar, which means the
opposite of the kinds of tax increases Mrs. Clinton wants. It needs to pass the trade agreements awaiting
ratification in the Congress. It needs to stabilize the dollar and work toward a policy of sound money.
Hillary Clinton 'would
move US to Left of France'. America under Hillary Clinton would suffer high taxes and lavish
public spending that would make it more Left-wing than France, Rudy Giuliani, the Republican presidential
hopeful, has claimed. His remarks drew anxious gasps from his audience of party supporters in the
key primary state of New Hampshire.
The Democrats
and Gun Control: Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly voted for antigun proposals, and co-sponsored many
of them. After Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans and St. Tammany police confiscated guns from law-abiding
citizens, violating an explicit Louisiana law. In some cases, the confiscation was carried out with the
assistance of federal agents, and was perpetrated via warrantless break-ins into homes. The next year,
the U.S. Senate voted 84-16 for a homeland security appropriations rider stating: "None of the funds
appropriated by this Act shall be used for the seizure of a firearm based on the existence of a declaration
or state of emergency." Mrs. Clinton was one of the 16 who voted "no."
We're All Gun Nuts
Now. During a campaign debate on April 16, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were asked if
the District of Columbia's ban on gun possession, now facing a challenge before the Supreme Court, is
constitutional. "I think a total ban, with no exceptions under any circumstances, might be found by the
Court not to be. But I don't know the facts," said Clinton (Yale Law '73), dodging the question for the
third and final time.
Hillary Clinton's Left Hook:
After Hillary Clinton clerked in the summer of 1971 at an Oakland, Calif., law firm run by attorneys with
ties to the Communist Party, she never returned to work there. But she stayed in touch with one of
the firm's partners and his wife, and they stayed in touch with her, until they died.
Hillary Clinton's Radical Summer: In a
life marked largely by political caution, one entry on Senator Clinton's résumé stands
out: her clerkship in 1971 at one of America's most radical law firms, Treuhaft, Walker and
Burnstein. One partner at the firm, Doris Walker, was a Communist Party member at the time.
Another partner, Robert Treuhaft, had left the party in 1958, several years after being called before
the House Un-American Activities Committee and labeled as one of America's most "dangerously subversive"
lawyers.
Clinton:
Use Fluorescent Bulbs, Wrap Water Heaters in Blankets. Visitors [Hillary's] Web site are asked to
take a pledge to "confront … global warming and move our country towards energy independence." The
energy-saving advice was posted to coincide with the release of Clinton's new proposed energy policy, which
would, among other things, set up a $50 billion strategic energy reserve and phase out the incandescent
light bulb.
The Editor says...
The alternative to the incandescent light bulb is
the compact fluorescent light
bulb, about which I have posted a lot of information — none of it favorable. And if
the people on the political left are really interested in America's energy
independence, why do they oppose drilling for oil
in Alaska?
The Liberal Card Deck. Hillary
knows she can cream any other liberal presidential candidate, but she still can't figure out how to be more
conservative than a conservative. That concept of personal responsibility as opposed to governmental
intrusion to solve societal deficiencies is far beyond her grasp.
Hillary Lurches Leftward: An Early Abandonment
of Her Centrist Strategy. Hillary Clinton apparently felt the need for these swiftly escalating
efforts at flamboyant anti-warism to match the "bring the troops home within months" proposals of her two
strongest challengers: former Sen. John Edwards and Sen. Obama. Compounding this dangerous leftward pull
on the Democratic Party presidential aspirants is the fierce economic populist message of former Sen. Edwards, who
is currently running disconcertingly (for Clinton and Obama) strongly nationwide — particularly in Iowa.
It Takes a Snow Job. Hillary
Clinton is a reminder that self-described children's activists pose one of the greatest threats to children.
Many children's activists are just feminists who don't particularly like children, and certainly don't want to
stay home and raise them. Their children's activism amounts to an attempt to shift responsibility for
children from mothers to the state.
There's something about
Hillary. Hillary Clinton is an immensely dangerous politician. Despite recent attempts to
modify her image, Hillary remains an unabashed liberal — a radical on abortion, health care, the
judiciary and the economy. Hillary maintains a 100 percent favorability rating from the National
Abortion Rights Action League.
Sen.
Clinton's Abortion Record May Haunt '08 Campaign. The presumed frontrunner for the Democratic
presidential nomination, [Senator Hillary] Clinton has a 100 percent rating from Planned Parenthood.
The same can be said of Democratic Sens. Barack Obama of Illinois, John Kerry of Massachusetts, Joseph Biden of
Delaware and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards — all of whom are expected to challenge Clinton
for the nomination. Although helpful in a Democratic primary, a rigid stance on the issue could pose a
challenge in a general election.
Hillary
Clinton: Shill for the pill. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., portrays herself as a scourge of
the pharmaceutical industry, but she has shown that she's willing to help a drugmaker if that's what it takes
to profit Planned Parenthood, her indispensable political ally. Clinton's campaign Web site touts that
she has "battled the big drug companies." Yet she has sponsored many bills that would directly subsidize
Barr Laboratories, maker of the emergency contraceptive pill Plan B, which also functions as an
abortifacient.
Disturbing Questions about
Hillary Clinton and Abortion. Especially when the issue involves protecting innocent life, the
subject of this report, the American people deserve to know the full truth about the Clintons' radical, and
often corrupt, agenda. And Judicial Watch is committed to providing it. As part of Judicial
Watch's Open Records Project, we have examined important government documents about the core public policy
issue of abortion. This special report examines three new documents pertaining to the Clintons
pro-abortion policies, with special emphasis on Hillary Clinton's central role in crafting and promoting
these policies.
Hillary Clinton: Still Socialist After All
These Years. The ever-cautious Clinton occasionally exposes her true ideological core.
"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good," she told San Franciscans in June
2004. As First Lady, she said: "We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about
what is best for society." Hillary Clinton is a hardened socialist, despite the mainstream media's
efforts to portray her as a "centrist"….
Clinton Would Fund Stem Cell Research.
If elected president, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton says she would sign an executive order rescinding President
Bush's restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. She says she also would bar
political appointees from altering or removing scientific conclusions from government research without a
legitimate reason for doing so.
Clinton
proposes to extend Family Medical Leave Act. Democratic presidential front-runner Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) unveiled a plan Tuesday [10/16/2007] that would expand the Family Medical Leave Act
to cover 13 million additional workers.
Hillary Weaves.
Indeed, it actually sounded like the woman who wanted to nationalize one-seventh of the U.S. economy was never
in favor of big government. But rather than admit she's a liberal, she pulls the rhetorical rip cord and
parachutes to safety: "I prefer the word 'progressive,'" she proclaimed, "which has a real American
meaning, going back to the progressive era at the beginning of the 20th century. I consider myself a
modern progressive." Refusing to define that, she moved on, neglecting to mention that
progressives — modern and old-fashioned alike — believe in big government, too.
8
Reasons Why Conservatives Must Defeat Hillary. Today's Democratic Party and its
likely nominee, Hillary Clinton, have moved well to the left of where they were in the
pre-George W. Bush era. That could have some rather serious consequences if she
becomes the next President of the United States.
What
a difference a Clinton makes. Hillary Clinton will forever be the Orwellian Big Sister candidate.
She has fallen victim to a video, being screened on YouTube, which portrays her as Big Brother, telling the
serried ranks of human drones that she wants a "conversation" about America. … The spoof hits home because
it portrays exactly what bothers America about Hillary.
Hillary: The
Big Sister We Can Do Without. The first is that many people in both parties see her as
ideologically repellent. … If the right regards her as a dangerous leftist and the left regards her
as an unprincipled accomplice in the Iraq disaster, who really likes her?
Hill
Eyes National Cig Curb. Hillary Clinton lavished praise on New York City's tough
anti-smoking laws yesterday — and said she supports smoking bans in public places across the
country. Asked at an Iowa forum on cancer whether banning smoking in public places would
be good for America, Clinton replied, "Well, personally, I think so. And that's what a
lot of local communities and states are starting to do."
Look out, Hillary's morphing into
Bill. If you've listened to Hillary Clinton lately, you could be forgiven for thinking you were
hearing her husband Bill. In the last week in particular, she's been positioning herself for a presidential
run in 2008, modifying or even lying about her positions in an effort to obscure her hard-left record.
Hillary a centrist? That's the plan.
Hillary
the Chameleon: I have always considered Hillary Clinton a formidable politician, but
I haven't really feared a Hillary presidency because I haven't thought she was electable. I'm
not quite as sure anymore. Hillary, in her true skin, is too stridently liberal and unlikable
to be electable in a national election. But who says she has to show her true skin? … She has
been doing a masterful job of toning down her liberalism a little dose at a time. Even so,
her metamorphosis has been so transparent that even the perennially apathetic and ignorant
should be able to see through it. But many don't.
Sen. Clinton's
Slur: Sen. Hillary Clinton yesterday [9/12/2007] found herself positioned firmly to the left of
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding that disgusting New York Times/MoveOn "General Betray Us" attack on Gen.
David Petraeus' integrity. That's not an enviable position for a woman who's trying to convince the
American people that she's fit to be president of the United States.
Hillary's
refusal to condemn attacks on Gen. Petraeus is unpresidential. With her refusal to denounce the
far-left MoveOn.org for its smear of our top commander in Iraq, Clinton has taken another big step away from
the center of American politics. On the most important issue of our times — Iraq and the fight
against Islamic terrorism — the Democratic presidential front-runner has thrown her lot in with the
radicals, kooks and nuts that litter the wackadoo wing. And she has turned her back on our
soldiers and their leaders during wartime.
It takes a (socialist) village. Senator and
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has unveiled her economic vision. Should she be given
the power to implement it, we can say goodbye to the prosperity and opportunity we have enjoyed since the Reagan
years. In a speech at Manchester School of Technology in New Hampshire, Clinton said it's time to replace
President Bush's "ownership society," which she called an "on your own" society, with one based on shared
responsibility and prosperity.
Subprime.
Senator Hillary Clinton presents herself as a policy expert and declares her readiness to govern from
"day one." But her recent prescriptions for the housing market should cause doubts for thoughtful
observers.
Religion and politics New York style:
In a 1996 address to the United Methodist General Conference, Mrs. Clinton amplified the theme in her book,
"It Takes a Village": "As adults we have to start thinking and believing that there isn't really
any such thing as someone else's child … . For that reason, we cannot permit discussions of children
and families to be subverted by political or ideological debate," which, of course, is precisely what
she does.
Child's Play.
Hillary Clinton's entire approach to public policy, from her earliest days as a "children's rights advocate,"
has been grounded in the idea that political differences need to be put aside for the sake of The Children.
In 1996 she proclaimed, "As adults we have to start thinking and believing that there isn't really any such
thing as someone else's child." … But here's the thing: There really is such a thing as somebody
else's child. I don't want to live in a country where there's no such thing as somebody else's child,
because that means there's no such thing as my child. … Almost as important, I don't want to live in a
country where I am a "subversive" simply by offering political or ideological debate against this vision.
"As
adults we have to start thinking and believing that there isn't really any such thing as someone else's
child."
HillaryCare: Socialized medicine with a very thin candy coating.
What Hillary
Knew — In 1993. Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs' recent
comments doubting that Obamacare's employer mandate will ever be implemented — he called it "one of
the first things to go" — likely caused heartburn among his onetime West Wing colleagues. But there's
one former Obama administration official whom Gibbs must have terrified more than most. Years ago,
that famous figure testified publicly that if Congress were to pass legislation with an individual
mandate to purchase insurance, "we worry that the numbers of people who currently are insured
through their employment will decrease because there will no longer be any reason for many
employers" to offer coverage, when individuals can receive government subsidies instead. That
figure's name is Hillary Clinton.
Before
ObamaCare, IBD Helped Spare The Nation HillaryCare. Although this editorial was written more than
20 years ago, just replace "Clinton" with "Obama," and it all applies perfectly to ObamaCare, from the phony
promises to the bogus financing scheme to the massive new bureaucracy. It was this editorial and as many as
100 more like it in IBD that helped spare the nation the tragedy that would have been HillaryCare.
Clinton
Files: Advisers pushed 'Health Care University,' crafted 'enemies' list. Members of the Clinton
administration were so vigorous about their push for health care reform in 1993 that they pushed the idea of
launching a "Health Care University" — and even circulated an "enemies" list of those who opposed
the overhaul. The details were included in the latest batch of Clinton administration documents released
Friday by the National Archives. Included in the 7,500 pages were two curious documents from 1993.
Documents:
Biden and Kerry both opposed Hillarycare before they supported Obamacare. Then-Sens. Joe
Biden and John Kerry were both opposed to Hillary Clinton's 1993 health-care reform program, according to
documents released by the Clinton presidential library. Clinton marked a handwritten "No" beside Biden's
name on Clinton's list of Capitol Hill lawmakers that she needed to win over for her universal health care law,
known as the "Clinton health plan" or "Hillarycare," to pass. John Kerry, meanwhile, was marked with
a "Probably not." "Hillarycare" ended up dying in the Democratic-controlled Senate in 1994 without
coming to a floor vote.
Judicial
Watch Obtains 57,000 Pages of Records on Hillary's Health Care Task Force. Judicial Watch has long been on the trail of the corruption and
deceit that were part and parcel of former First Lady Hillary Clinton's National Taskforce on Health Care Reform. I'm pleased to report that we have
scored another breakthrough, pulling back more the veil of secrecy in which the Clintons have long shrouded their most famous policy failure.
Remember Presidents Clinton?
Bill was just half of the 1990s White House duo. Many argued that Hillary was actually the driving force
behind the Clinton co-Presidency, even though Bill was the charismatic face and voice of the administration.
Hillary-Care failed under Bill, but some in America still think that socialized medicine is the answer to our
health care challenges. Nobody believes this more than Hillary, and she has many who agree.
Hillary Clinton:
Upon entering the White House in 1993, then-President Clinton appointed his wife to lead a task force on health care reform, the
centerpiece of his agenda. The finished product was so controversial it was abandoned in September 1994 without receiving a
vote in either congressional chamber. Six weeks later, Mrs. Clinton's political debacle on health care was instrumental in
the political maelstrom that installed Republicans in control of the House (for the first time in 40 years) and the Senate.
Hillarycare revisited:
During Hillary Clinton's 1993 visit to Capitol Hill to testify about her proposed health-care plan, she was
asked by Virginia Rep. Norman Sisisky what could be done to ease the burden of the plan's mandates on small
businesses. The former first lady responded in her best let-'em-eat-cake style: "I can't go out
and save every undercapitalized entrepreneur in America."
Clinton urges health care
for all. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Sunday made a stronger pitch for universal health care
and again defended her Iraq position, at the outset of a campaign swing through Iowa. … "I have some goals. One of them
is we're going to have universal health care coverage," the New York senator said, prompting loud
cheers from the capacity crowd on the Dubuque campus.
Hillary Claiming Bill Clinton's
Record. Hillary was the moving force behind the Clinton presidency in 1993 and 1994 — with
primary responsibility for the disastrous health-care plan, which helped hand Congress to the Republicans.
After that, her husband sent her into a polite exile.
Hillarycare will be mandatory. A second shot at health
care for Hillary. Hillary Rodham Clinton will plunge back into the health care debate tomorrow with a sweeping plan
that would require all Americans to sign up for health insurance — putting her at odds with top rival Barack
Obama, Newsday has learned.
The
Wages of HillaryCare. Mrs. Clinton's proposal requires everyone to buy health insurance, along
with more insurance regulation, a government insurance option for everyone and tax hikes. Mr. Obama
likes all that but his mandate would only apply to children. He argues that the reason many people
aren't insured is because it's too expensive, not because they don't want it. Mrs. Clinton counters that
coverage can't be "universal" without a mandate.
Bend over for Nurse
Hillary. Last week freedom took another hit. Hillary Rodham Clinton unveiled her new health care
plan. Unlike her old health care plan, which took longer to read than most cancers take to kill you, this one's
instant and painless — just a spoonful of government sugar to help the medicine go down. From now on,
everyone in America will have to have health insurance. Hooray! And, if you don't,
it will be illegal for you to hold a job.
It's Not Hillarycare, It's Hillarycon.
Sometimes Hillary Clinton leaves me breathless with the sheer arrogance of her assumption that the American
people are like a bunch of straw-chewing rubes eager to buy her latest brand of snake oil. … Hillary knows
that the law provides that nobody can be turned away because of their inability to pay for needed medical
services — she just hopes the voters don't know that.
Hillary
Clinton shills again for health care. Nearly 15 years after her grand plan
to revolutionize American health care collapsed in ignominious defeat, a chastened Hillary
Clinton will propose today [9/17/2007] a new easier-to-swallow centrist proposal that focuses on
providing universal coverage and reducing skyrocketing medical costs.
The Dark Side of Hillary Clinton's Health Care Plan:
The public face of Hillary Clinton's new health care plan is sunny, filled with choices for consumers and bright with
promises for better health care for all. But a close examination of the proposal alongside other initiatives of
Sen. Clinton in the past few years reveals a dark side she wants to hide from public view until after the election is over.
Hillary's
health care bomb could blow up a good system. Hillary Clinton just dropped the universal health
care bomb that everyone knew was coming. "I intend to have a universal health care system that does three
things — lowers costs for everybody, improves quality for everybody and covers everybody."
Hillarizing Health Care: The
new Hillary health-care plan is very different from the old 1993-1994 Hillary plan. It is far slyer, and
far cleverer, far more well-packaged. The same arguments that applied to the old Hillary plan do not
necessarily apply to the new plan. But the new health plan ends up in the same place as the old health
plan — with the government running everything.
Unlearned
Lessons: HillaryCare II. This is supposedly the grand lesson [Senator] Clinton learned from
her many political scars: People don't want government-run health care. But she might want to study
her mistakes a bit more closely because her alternative is to provide government-run health insurance, which
ultimately is the same thing. Clinton's plan would yank insurance regulation from the states and impose
a series of federal mandates on employers, individuals and insurance companies.
It's Not True That
Thousands Died for Lack of Health Insurance, Critics Say. Last month, when she announced her
$110-billion health-care reform plan, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), said, "Each year, 18,000 people die in
America because they don't have health care. … But while some experts looking at Clinton's statistics and
the issue of a health care crisis said she is correct, other experts said the data and claims are not accurate.
Schip Wreck: Oregon
voters send a message on HillaryCare. Oregon voters passed judgment Tuesday [11/6/2007] on a
plan that would have made their state children's health insurance program "universal." Sound familiar?
It should, because Oregon reproduced the current Schip fracas in D.C. on the state level — and the
referendum took a major shellacking, with voters siding three to two against. Oregon's expansion was
almost identical to the one backed by Congressional Democrats….
Exhuming Hillarycare:
In the 1990s, Judicial Watch, an organization that seeks to hold Democrats and Republicans accountable to the law, pursued
members of the Clinton administration. … Now the self-described "public interest group" may have come up
with its biggest find of all (so far). It has obtained records from the library at the Clinton Presidential
Center that reveal the internal workings and attitudes of people associated with Hillary Clinton's National
Taskforce on Health Care Reform. These documents penetrate Mrs. Clinton's carefully crafted personae,
expose her true character and suggest what she and her Democratic allies would impose on the nation, if
given the power.
Hillary's
Health Care Cabal: Judicial Watch released new documents last week from the Clinton Presidential
Library regarding Hillary's botched attempt to stage a government takeover of our nation's healthcare system
in 1993. Our investigators found them during a trip to the Clinton Library in Little Rock last year.
Here are a few highlights from what we found.
The SCHIP
Hits the Fan. Hillary Clinton, now seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, has put forth
a vision of health care for all the uninsured which would be funded by increasing federal income taxes, raising
tobacco taxes and raising capital gains taxes. This would assure a universal health care system, she
contends, and move us in the direction of socialized medicine (a term she has been careful not to use).
Hillarycare is mandatory! Hillary's
Plantation Politics. Both [Obama and Clinton] noted a key difference in their approach to health
care. Each wants extensive government regulation. But Clinton wants federal government mandates to
force individuals to buy her plan and Obama rejects individual mandates. This key departure in health
policy hints at a far more fundamental difference in the mindsets of these two candidates. Clinton's
big-government liberalism is less rooted in liberal ideals than in the interest-group plantation politics
that has defined the Democratic Party of recent years.
Clinton
health plan may mean tapping pay. Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday [2/3/2008]
she might be willing to have workers' wages garnisheed if they refuse to buy health insurance
to achieve coverage for all Americans.
Clinton
May Garnish Wages to Achieve Universal Health Care. Will Sen. Hillary Clinton
garnish the wages of people who can afford health insurance but refuse to buy into her
universal health care plan? Maybe. The Democratic presidential hopeful tried to
duck the question Sunday, when ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked her about wage-garnishing
three times. But she didn't rule it out.
Denied. Hillary
Rodham Clinton's dream of overhauling the country's health-care system as the steward of a new Senate subcommittee
has reportedly flatlined. The New York senator had made health-care reform the centerpiece of her
presidential campaign.
Reading the Bill...
The White House has pointedly refused to say whether President Obama will read the 1,000+ page health care
bill — HR 3200 — now pending before the House of Representatives. ... The language
may seem innocuous, but Sec 1866D actually describes the plan for American health care that was
first proposed as HR 3600 in 1993 and known as HillaryCare.
Judicial
Watch Gets Hillarycare Docs ... After 5-Year Legal Battle. After a five-year battle with two
presidential administrations, Judicial Watch finally got notification of a large cache of documents at the
Clinton Presidential Library related to Hillarycare. How large? Try 54,527 pages.
Another nearby page has more information
about socialized medicine and SCHIP.
The Baby Bond:
Hillary attempts to buy votes with other people's money.
This is a classic example of liberal utopian politics, where politicians
promise to provide everything to everybody at no cost. But this idea only lasted
about a week, and when the polls showed what a huge mistake Hillary had made, she wasted
no time in retracting the offer.
Clinton:
$5,000 for Every U.S. Baby. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham
Clinton said Friday [9/28/2007] that every child born in the United States should get a $5,000 "baby bond"
from the government to help pay for future costs of college or buying a home. Clinton,
her party's front-runner in the 2008 race, made the suggestion during a forum hosted by the
Congressional Black Caucus.
Hillary's
baby bounty: Just last week at a forum hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus, Hillary Clinton
proposed that each baby born in the United States receive a $5,000 "baby bond" from the federal government.
… Such a program extends government's hold over Americans' lives, from cradle to grave, and provides
yet another "benefit" that can be used to justify higher taxes and greater regulation. It would help
condition otherwise self-sufficient voters to sup at the government trough — to expect government
assistance even when it's not necessary.
GOP hits Hillary's 'baby bonds'.
Republican strategists say Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton"s call for giving every newborn $5,000 for education is
the first major mistake in her front-running campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. They
say it undermines the centrist image the New York Democrat has carefully built and, if exploited skillfully,
could prove fatal in the 2008 general election.
Hillary McGovern.
Political candidates routinely do the obligatory baby-kissing. Hillary Clinton wants to give each baby a
check. Never mind that she'll get the money by raising their parents' taxes. George McGovern, who
parlayed his $1,000-in-every-pot proposal into a 49-state loss in 1972, should sue for copyright infringement
after Sen. Clinton told the Congressional Black Caucus' annual legislative conference that every baby born in
America should be given a $5,000 "baby bond."
Let the backpedalling begin... Hillary
abandons 'baby bonds' plan. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's quick backtracking from an off-the-cuff
"baby bonds" proposal demonstrates her campaign's ability to jump on damage control. It's been less than
two weeks since the New York Democrat casually said, "I like the idea of giving every baby born in America a
$5,000 account that will grow over time."
Hillary's friends
Hillary's leftists friends include the labor unions, AARP, NAACP, La Raza, and a large number
of Hollywood millionaires.
The Taxpayer Frog In the
IRS Pot: The Communist Party USA openly advocates to "defeat McCain and strengthen Democratic
majorities in Congress" and to elect either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in 2008. The CPUSA itself
says electing more Democrats helps the Communist cause.
Clinton Keeps
Quiet About Her Own Radical Ties. When Hillary Rodham Clinton questioned rival Barack Obama's ties to 1960s
radicals, her comments baffled two retired Bay Area lawyers who knew Clinton in the summer of 1971 when she worked as an
intern at a left-wing law firm in Oakland, Calif., that defended communists and Black Panthers. "She's a hypocrite,"
Doris B. Walker, 89, who was a member of the American Communist Party, said in an interview last week. "She had to
know who we were and what kinds of cases we were handling. We had a very left-wing reputation…."
Clinton
gets backing of Maxine Waters. Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton has won the backing of California
Rep. Maxine Waters, an influential member of the Congressional Black Caucus whose support could help blunt
charges of racial polarization against the Clinton campaign in the South Carolina primary.
The Clinton family machine: In the case
of AFSCME the back story is yet another example of how the Clinton husband-and-wife team works together as
they strive to move back into the White House. Hillary has diligently done her part as senator from
New York, championing AFSCME causes in Congress.
Former president of La Raza
named co-chair of Clinton campaign. An immigration reform activist thinks Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton revealed a great deal about how she really feels about the illegal immigration problem
when she announced that a former president of the National Council of La Raza has joined her campaign
team. Senator Clinton (D-New York) says Raul Yzaguirre will co-chair her campaign and lead its
outreach to Hispanic voters.
Clinton
Polls Best Among Gays, Lesbians. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York is the clear
favorite among gay and lesbian voters, who see her as a champion of gay rights, according to new nationwide
poll released today by Hunter College in New York.
Gay lawmakers line up to support Clinton.
Both openly gay members of Congress have now endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential
nomination. The New York senator secured the support of Tammy Baldwin, the Wisconsin congresswoman who is
the only out lesbian in the House, months ago. And this week Clinton gained the enthusiastic endorsement
of House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, the only out gay man currently serving in the
chamber.
Clinton's Social
Security fecklessness. In words a more thoughtful Clinton likely would have avoided, the leading
Democratic presidential contender told a cheering crowd of AARP policy wonks and political activists that when
she's back in the White House, there won't be any talk about cutting or privatizing Social Security. "This
is the most successful domestic program in the history of the United States. When I'm president,
privatization is off the table because it's not the answer to anything," she said. Also off the table
will be any benefit cuts or increases in the retirement age.
Hillary will bring her broom... Hillary Rodham Clinton rallies at
the CWA Hall in Houston. Saying "it will take a woman" to clean up the problems in the White
House, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton today urged about 1,000 Houston-area voters to support her campaign to
change America. "Bring your brooms," the Democratic presidential candidate told the crowd at a
union hall in downtown Houston.
Clinton
Gets Another Controversial Endorsement. A former San Francisco mayor, [Democratic Senator
Dianne] Feinstein was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992 and she is one of California's most
powerful and popular politicians as well as one of the wealthiest members of Congress with a
net worth of about $42.6 million.
Alcee Hastings
To Lead Clinton Campaign. Hastings has the dubious honor of being one of only six federal
judges to be removed from office through impeachment for perjury and conspiracy to obtain a bribe.
Hastings was wrapped up in a 1983 scandal involving the solicitation of a $150,000 bribe in return for
favorable treatment for defendants in a racketeering case before him.
Blaspheming Hillary plays up to Harlem Baptists.
How can these parishioners sing "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" while at the same time shaking hands and clapping applause
for the devil's agenda? That's what goes on when Hillary steps inside a Christian sanctuary — it's
called anathema. It's known in biblical terms as "hypocrisy."
The
Clintons' New Escape: Bill and Hillary Clinton have their eyes on the ball when it comes to
2008, but in the meantime, has anyone noted that they bought a piece of beach property in the Dominican
Republic right next to the beautiful domain of designer Oscar de la Renta and his wife, Annette?
Pardon Me But... Said
Tony Snow: "I don't know what Arkansan is for chutzpah, but this is a gigantic case of it." Here,
after all, is the wife of a president who all but peddled pardons to an assortment of felons and miscreants
including one malodorous fugitive from justice who had renounced his American citizenship. Doesn't this
woman recall that on her husband's last day in the White House he signed 140 pardons and several commutations?
… In the wake of the pardons the Federal prosecutor in New York, Mary Jo White, was appointed to investigate
what the media was calling "Pardongate." She was replaced by James Comey, who obligingly cleared Clinton
of any wrongdoing.
Hill
Hauls In a Cool $10 Million. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's weekend trip to California capped off
a breathless week of fund-raising that hauled in nearly $10 million, revealing the reach of her network
of wealthy supporters.
Clinton
rakes in millions; outraised by Obama. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign has gathered
an additional $27 million in campaign contributions in the past three months, but will finish behind rival
Senator Barack Obama in the money-collecting sweepstakes, a key Clinton aide said today.
Too Much Money, Too Little Joy.
Hillary Clinton's campaign has announced that the $26 million she has raked in so far for her presidential
effort is "staggering." But the only thing that staggers me is why anybody would give a dollar to these
campaigns.
Clinton backs public funds
for campaigns. A day after her campaign announced a record-breaking fundraising haul, Democrat
Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday she would support public funding of campaigns if elected president next
year. … In fact, Clinton's campaign was the first to completely opt out of the public funding system
that has existed for more than 30 years.
Clinton Woos Black Vote, Targets
Obama. Far from conceding African-American support to the most credible candidate ever of African
descent, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., the Clintons are pushing aggressively for the help of their longtime allies
in the black business, political and entertainment elite. Clinton's supporters say she intends to make the
Illinois senator fight for every black endorsement and every black vote.
Clintons'
Guests De$ert to Obama. They jumped from Clinton's guest bedroom to Obama's bandwagon. … Movie
mogul and former friend of Bill David Geffen led the list of Democratic turncoats last week when he held a
fund-raiser for Obama and trashed the Clintons in the process.
Barack Obama isn't the
only candidate with ties to a controversial religious group. When I was profiling [Hillary
Clinton] two years ago, I learned about her involvement with a secretive Christian organization called The
Fellowship that has operated in the Washington shadows since the 1930s. … There is something deeply
strange about the group. They certainly do not like press coverage, so in that regard Clinton's
attraction might make sense. Reporters hoping to look into the group might want to think again. A
few years ago, The Fellowship's archives, which are held at Wheaton College, the evangelical school in Illinos,
were reclassified as "restricted" and placed under lock and key.
Intra-party politics and friction:
Seven Jaw-Dropping Revelations from
Hearings on the Motion to Dismiss the DNC Fraud Lawsuit. [#2] The Democratic Party views itself as having authority to favor a candidate
without any legal repercussions. Without any pretense the Democratic primary nominating process should be expected to be conducted fairly, lawyers
for the Democratic Party tell Judge Zloch the lawsuit should be thrown out because the Party has the freedom to determine its nominees by "internal rule",
not voter interests, and thus the party "could have favored a candidate". Lawyers for the Democratic Party suggest the lawsuit "can't be resolved"
by the Court because it is based on an internal rule that "cannot be enforced". This statement by lawyers for the Democrats to a Federal judge is
a damning indictment the Party may never recover from: the party views itself in no way beholden to voters' interest whatsoever.
Seething
liberals vow revolution in Democratic Party. The Republican civil war was supposed start this week.
Instead, a ferocious struggle has erupted on the left over the smoldering remains of the Democratic Party. [...] Liberals
interviewed by The Hill want to see establishment Democrats targeted in primaries, and the "Clinton-corporate wing" of the
party rooted out for good.
Tim
Kaine splits from Clinton over her attack on FBI as corruption probe woes mount. Hillary Clinton's running mate
says he does not believe FBI Director James Comey was intentionally trying to disrupt the election when he announced a new
chapter last week in former secretary of state's email investigation. Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine said on a taping of
Alan Colmes' Fox News radio show that Comey's letter to Congress last Friday was 'highly unusual' and 'cryptic' but he
wouldn't follow in Clinton's footsteps and suggest the law enforcement official was helping the Republican ticket.
VP
Debate Debrief — Petulant Kaine Exudes Instability During Vice-Presidential Debate Appearance. A reminder.
Senator Tim Kaine has only been together with his running mate Hillary Clinton one time since the DNC convention. They appeared
together in Ohio on Labor Day (Sept 5th), that is the one and only time since the end of July. That's the reality backdrop
for Kaines' absolute failure to launch during the Vice-Presidential debate last night.
The Clinton campaign loses an engine: Clinton
cancels joint events with Sanders. The Hillary Clinton campaign has canceled joint appearances with former
primary opponent Bernie Sanders after he admitted that "of course" it bothered him that Clinton seemed to be talking down to
his supporters in hacked audio from a fundraiser.
Was
Tim Kaine Obama's Handpicked Choice for V.P.? Kaine held the key fundraising position of Democratic National
Committee chairman during the entire run-up to Obamacare's passage, as the Democrats passed that unpopular 2,400 page
legislation without a single Republican vote. But Kaine's ties to Obama go back further. In November of 2005,
during Obama's first year in the Senate, Obama campaigned for Kaine in the Virginia gubernatorial race. Just over a
year later, in February of 2007 — as the Los Angeles Times reports — Kaine became the first statewide
elected Democrat outside of Illinois to support Obama's presidential bid against the Democratic heir apparent, Hillary Clinton.
The
liberal establishment's Clinton obsession is blowing up in its face. You Democrats and liberals who did not
"feel the Bern" but desperately wanted a Democratic president to succeed Barack Obama — you did nothing to prevent
the potential cataclysm that is upon you now. Instead, you've spent more than a year chortling at Republican failings,
expressing disgust at the rise of Donald Trump and convincing yourselves that your ideological tendency is on the cusp of
multigenerational rule in the United States. And in the process, you failed to do your due diligence on your own
candidate — which means you failed as a party, you failed as a movement and you failed as citizens.
Long
knives being unsheathed as 'dump Hillary' initiative floated. Like a lame wildebeest on the Serengeti, Hillary
Clinton's illness is attracting the attention of those who see opportunity. Make no mistake: the Clintons, for all the
superficial unity the Democrats bludgeon each other into, have sparked a lot of resentment and made a lot of enemies over the
years. On top of that, there is a legitimate case to be made that the specter of losing to Trump is scary enough that
For the Good of the Party, the DNC should meet in private and dump her.
Former
DNC chairman calls for Clinton contingency plan. A former Democratic National Committee chairman says President
Barack Obama and the party's congressional leaders should immediately come up with a process to identify a potential
successor candidate for Hillary Clinton for the off-chance a health emergency forces her out of the race.
What
happens if Hillary drops out? A successor for Hillary Clinton must be found immediately in case pneumonia
forces her out of the race, a former Democratic National Committee chair has said. 'Now is the time for all good political
leaders to come to the aid of their party,' Don Fowler, who chaired the DNC from 1995 to 1997, said Monday [9/12/2016]. 'I think the
plan should be developed by 6 o'clock this afternoon.' Fowler — who has supported Hillary Clinton since her 2008
presidential bid — said the Democrats risk infighting without a proper contingency plan, Politico reported.
Forget
Trump for now, Hillary's big problem is the 'dump Hillary' impulse among powerful Democrats. Hillary knows this
is her last shot at the presidency and the personal vindication that would bring to her relationship with her troublesome
spouse. He has shamed her, humiliated her, and yet relied on her to beat impeachment. There is a whole lot of
score-settling necessary, and only the presidency can provide her the opportunity to reverse roles and make him the one who
must yield to the commander in chief when push comes to shove. She will not give this up unless absolutely forced to.
Michelle
Obama to hit campaign trail for Hillary Clinton. First lady Michelle Obama is set to hit the campaign trail on
behalf of Hillary Clinton next week, the Clinton campaign announced Tuesday [9/6/2016]. At a Sept. 16 event in Northern
Virginia, Mrs. Obama will urge Virginians, "especially young people," to support Mrs. Clinton and to register to
vote ahead of a deadline next month.
'Rigged
system' crusader Bernie Sanders conveniently never got around to releasing his personal financial disclosure
form. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders almost giddily hit Hillary Clinton for giving paid speeches to Wall
Street during the Democratic primary, but yet he never filed a personal financial disclosure form of his own. The
non-profit Center for Public Integrity discovered that Sanders, amid a tough primary campaign, asked for an extension twice
and then never provided the documents to the Federal Election Commission as his presidential campaign wound down.
Meanwhile both Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump filed their forms by the mid-May deadline.
About
A Third Of Bernie Sanders's Supporters Still Aren't Backing Hillary Clinton. One of the big questions heading
into the Democratic National Convention late last month was whether Hillary Clinton could rally Bernie Sanders supporters to
her side. Before the convention, many Sanders supporters said they would support Clinton in a two-way matchup against
Donald Trump, but when pollsters offered them third-party candidates as an option, they abandoned her.
Bernie Sanders
leaves the Democratic Party. Sanders, who considers himself, officially, an Independent in Congress because his
views lean further left than the Democratic party's platform, caucuses with Democrats. But until declaring an intention
to run for the presidency in 2015, he had rarely, if ever, identified as a member of the Democratic Party (he's been in
politics since 1979). And now, despite pleading with his base to support Hillary, even though they're concerned that
she's too moderate, Sanders will return to Vermont and to his seat in the Senate, and he'll do it with no official party
affiliation.
Obama's
Final Revenge: The Accidental Destruction of Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton's wife is one of the least
empathy-driven candidates in the history of politics. She's manipulating, cynical, and nasty. She's instinctively
defensive, brutally cutting, and utterly cold. The polls show it. This week's CNN poll demonstrated that 68 percent
of Americans consider Hillary dishonest, and 54 percent think she's running for personal gain. Fifty-five
percent view Hillary unfavorably overall; but only 52 percent view Trump unfavorably. Just 47 percent think he's
running for personal gain. A majority of Americans think Trump is running to help America. They think Hillary is
running to help Hillary.
Andrea
Mitchell: I've Never Seen Anything Like Scene Where DNC Chair Was Booed off the Stage. MSNBC reporter
Andrea Mitchell said Monday she had never seen anything like the chaotic scene at the Florida Democratic delegation breakfast
where outgoing party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.) was booed off the stage and escorted out by security.
Schultz was forced to yell her remarks Monday morning over jeers and shouting from angry Bernie Sanders supporters in the
wake of the DNC email leak showing Democratic Party favoritism for Hillary Clinton. Schultz announced Sunday she would
resign as party chair after this week's convention, but she still tried to speak to her fellow Florida delegates, to no
avail. "She was booed off the stage," Mitchell said.
Left-Wing
Supporters Boo as Bernie Sanders Says 'We Must Elect Hillary Clinton'. Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders
booed today as the former Democratic presidential contender told them, "We must elect Hillary Clinton." He was appearing
for the first time this week in Philadelphia, where the Democratic National Convention is set to kick off later today.
Kaine and Unable.
[Tim] Kaine has been operating in the political arena for over 22 years. He has an all too familiar "insider" résumé
that tracks his career moves through various levels of state, party, and federal government. He is being touted by Democrats as someone
who at times disagreed — but respectfully! — with President Obama, the objective being to paint him as his "own man" with
potential appeal for independents. But those in the know recognize that Hillary, as president, would never brook disagreement from anyone.
Democrats
grapple with intraparty divisions two days before convention opens. The Democratic Party arrived here still
divided over the results of its presidential primary season, with anger at the nominating process, the Clinton-Kaine ticket
and hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee spilling into the party's final meetings before the convention begins.
Clinton
says there is 'Hillary standard' for her on campaign trail. Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton said
in an interview broadcast Sunday [7/24/2016] that chants of "lock her up" at last week's Republican National Convention in Cleveland
made her feel "very sad," while also suggesting she faces more scrutiny than other politicians.
The Editor says...
Hillary and her husband have been the subject of considerable scrutiny for decades, for a number of reasons, none of them good.
Yes,
There Is A 'Hillary Standard' — She Gets Away With Everything. In an interview with "60 Minutes"
that aired on Sunday [7/24/2016], Hillary Clinton actually said something that is undeniably true: "I often feel like
there's the Hillary standard, and then there's the standard for everybody else." By that, Clinton meant to say that she often
gets treated unfairly. Which is also true. [...] Anyone who isn't blinded by partisanship can see that there is, and has been,
a Hillary standard. But not one in which Hillary is the victim. It's one in which she, because of her party affiliation
and gender, is held unaccountable for any wrongdoing that would doom mere mortals.
Wikileaks dump appears to
show DNC favored Clinton campaign. WikiLeaks posted close to 20,000 emails and 8,000 attachments Friday [7/22/2016] sent or received from
top Democratic officials that seem to suggest the committee's chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other higher ups tried to tip the scales
in Clinton's favor. WikiLeaks dubbed the document dump the "Hillary Leaks series." Sanders has repeatedly claimed that he thought the system
was "rigged" during the primaries.
What Happens
If Hillary Is Indicted? The FBI is reportedly ready to interview Hillary Clinton Saturday, which brings up the
question of who will be the Democratic nominee for president if the former secretary of state is indicted. [...]
Superdelegates who have pledged support to Clinton would be free to switch allegiance over to Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders. Sanders has remained in the Democratic nomination and still has 1,831 pledged delegates. To win the
Democratic nomination one needs to get the support of 2,383 total delegates, including the superdelegates already supporting
him Sanders would have to get the backing of 504 of Clinton's superdelegates.
Virginia
senator being vetted as a Clinton running mate took $160,000 in gifts. Sen. Tim Kaine took more than
$160,000 in gifts while serving as governor and lieutenant governor of Virginia, which could complicate Hillary Clinton's
veepstakes. Kaine is reportedly on the likely Democratic nominee's shortlist, as a folksy and popular governor-turned-senator
from an important swing state. But according to disclosures compiled by the Virginia Public Access Project and given to
Politico, Kaine took an $18,000 Caribbean vacation, was given $5,500 in free clothes and took a trip to see George Mason
University's men's basketball team play in the Final Four — all while in office.
The Editor says...
Senator Kaine sounds like a perfect match for Clinton.
Nearly
Half of Sanders Supporters Won't Support Clinton. In the two weeks since Hillary Clinton wrapped up the
Democratic presidential primary, runner-up Bernie Sanders has promised to work hard to defeat Donald Trump — but
he's given no sign he'll soon embrace Clinton, his party's presumptive nominee. Neither have many of Sanders's
supporters. A June 14th Bloomberg Politics national poll of likely voters in November's election found that barely half
of those who favored Sanders — 55 percent — plan to vote for Clinton. Instead, 22 percent say
they'll vote for Trump, while 18 percent favor Libertarian Gary Johnson.
Hillary
Clinton faces serious, even legal, potholes on the road to becoming Democratic candidate for president.
Republican delegates are required to vote at their convention as they did during their state primary. The rules are
different for the Democrats. Delegates are free to vote for any candidate, regardless of who won their state
primary. If Clinton continues to falter and limps into the convention, or if she withdraws, it could result
in an "open" convention. The results could be surprising.
Obama's
active role for Hillary Clinton is a break from past elections. President Obama on Thursday afternoon
[6/9/2016] offered a full-throated endorsement of Hillary Clinton's campaign, saying he's excited to hit the campaign trail
with her next week and in the months ahead. He'll be one of the few sitting presidents in recent history to play an
active role in his successor's election bid. On the whole, there's a reason why sitting presidents often steer clear of
the campaign trail for their successors: it's rare for one party to hold the White House for longer than eight years, and a
party's nominee doesn't want to be saddled with a surrogate who has lagging approval ratings and inspires voter fatigue.
In recent years, incumbent presidents have proven to be more a liability than an asset — or at least that's what their
successors' campaigns seemed to think.
Clinton
Might Not Be the Nominee ... And This Is Not Just a Theory Anymore. There is now more than a theoretical chance
that Hillary Clinton may not be the Democratic nominee for president. How could that happen, given that her nomination
has been considered a sure thing by virtually everyone in the media and in the party itself? Consider the possibilities.
Clinton
Surrogate: Superdelegates Intended To 'Temper The Raging Masses'. Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer
Granholm, a Hillary Clinton surrogate, acknowledged on Monday what the Democratic party's superdelegate system is all about:
"temper[ing] the raging masses." Appearing on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes," Granholm weighed in on news that the
Associated Press and NBC News had named Clinton the party's presumptive nominee based on a sum of her pledged delegates and
superdelegates. The projection caused a stir among some political observers and Bernie Sanders supporters.
Sanders and his backers have argued that the use of superdelegates — a group of 714 party leaders and
elders — usurps the democratic process.
Hillary
Clinton should keep VP Joe Biden. Consider the following scenario: after a bruising primary against socialist
Bernie Sanders, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton finally emerges from the Democratic National Convention as her
party's nominee. Although the raucous convention is marked by protests from disaffected Sanders supporters, Clinton
leaves Philadelphia triumphant and begins the long process of uniting her party's warring factions. In a campaign
marked by countless missteps, everything seems to be falling in place for Clinton, until the political world is rocked with
the news that federal indictments are coming down involving her private email server.
Hillary
is cheating her way to the Democratic nomination. The Democrats had a script for 2016. Backed by big-money
donors, party insiders, liberal institutions, universal name recognition, the media and terror on the part of all other
serious potential candidates, Hillary Clinton would glide to the nomination, her path marked by rose petals. Gentlemen
would doff their caps as smiling troubadours gently strummed their lutes by the side of the path to the nomination.
Somehow a coronation turned into "Mad Max: Fury Road." Every time Hillary looked in the rearview mirror, there he
was: a nutty old socialist chained to the grille of a monster truck and screaming imprecations into the wind.
Bernie
Sanders keeps repeating his biggest mistake of the campaign. For the bajillionth time in this campaign, Bernie
Sanders was asked over the weekend about the ongoing FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's decision to exclusively use a
private email server during her time as secretary of state. And, for the bajillionth time, Sanders took a hard pass on
the question.
Bernie
Sanders Says Superdelegates Should Consider Hillary Clinton's Email Scandal. Bernie Sanders said in a new
interview that voters, and superdelegates to the Democratic convention, should take a "hard look" at a recent and highly
critical State Department report on Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while Secretary of State. The
Vermont senator, who has refrained from attacking his opponent on the email scandal on the campaign trail, mentioned the
Thursday report by the State Department's inspector general during a Sunday appearance on CBS' Face the Nation.
The inspector general concluded that Clinton and her senior aides ignored repeated warnings that her private email system
was vulnerable to hackers when she was Secretary of State.
Hillary
Clinton must choose left-wing running mate, says Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders warned on Sunday [5/29/2016] that Hillary
Clinton must choose a left-wing candidate as running mate if the Democratic party is to win the presidential election. The comments
came amid mounting criticism that Mrs Clinton's campaign is poorly equipped to take on Donald Trump. Mr Sanders cautioned that
to beat the bombastic Republican nominee, the Democratic party must defend working families by choosing a non-traditional candidate who
would stand up to "Wall Street" and the "greed of corporate America".
The
Democratic Party's Civil War Is Just Getting Started. When Hillary Clinton formally claims the Democratic
Party's presidential nomination this summer in Philadelphia, she will inherit a party in the throes of a revolution —
one in which her side seems likely to lose in the long term. The upheaval has been decades in the making, as the party has
evolved from choosing relative centrist nominees such as Bill Clinton, Al Gore and John Kerry over more liberal contenders,
to Barack Obama, who positioned himself to the left of Hillary Clinton in 2008. Now, even while Clinton appears set to win
the Democratic nomination this year, she has faced an unexpectedly difficult challenge from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the
farthest-left Democratic candidate to seriously vie for the nomination in decades.
Why Bernie isn't quitting
just yet. Frustrated mainstream Democrats worried about the polls showing a neck-and-neck presidential race
cannot figure out what Bernie Sanders is doing — and they're beginning to panic. They know there's maybe a 2 percent
chance Hillary Clinton doesn't clinch the nomination June 7 — she needs only 78 more delegates and is leading by double
digits in both New Jersey and California, where 690 are up for grabs. It would take a calamity beyond reckoning for her not to get
those 78 that night. [... But] Sanders' continuing presence in the race and the effectiveness of his attacks on her with leftists are
actively contributing to the decline of her image.
Sanders
demands new Kentucky election canvass after losing by the tightest of margins to Clinton. Bernie Sanders'
presidential campaign requested a recanvass in Kentucky's presidential primary Tuesday [5/24/2016], where he trails Hillary
Clinton by less than one-half of 1 percent of the vote. The Sanders campaign said it will ask the Kentucky secretary of
state to have election officials review electronic voting machines and absentee ballots from last week's primary in each of
the state's 120 counties. Sanders signed a letter Tuesday morning requesting a full and complete check and recanvass
of the election results in Kentucky.
We
Are a Fish, Rotting From the Head. The only way Hillary will be indicted, as she certainly deserves to be, is
if the Democrats decide that she can't beat Donald Trump — an increasingly likely eventuality — and
decide to go with someone else.
Bernie
faces wrath of Clinton Mafia as he refuses to surrender. Now it's Bernie Sanders' turn to feel the burn.
Unfortunately, the heat is coming from the Clinton Mafia. The Democratic National Committee, top members of Congress
and their media handmaidens are turning on the formerly adorable, 74-year-old senator with rabid ferocity. His sin:
refusing to concede to St. Hillary. Off with his head! For his impudence, Sanders and his backers stand
accused of fomenting violence and using intimidation tactics, of being rude and sexist and of sabotaging Clinton.
Will Obama Indict Clinton to Save his
Party? [Scroll down] I don't believe for a moment that Obama has any personal investment in Hillary Clinton becoming President — he'd
personally be just as happy with Bernie if not more so. Moreover, his own Justice Department is allegedly threatening open mutiny if action is not
taken against Clinton after the probe into her private email server is completed. If Clinton were in a strong position for the general election,
no doubt Obama would order Lynch to softpedal any action that lands on Clinton herself, no matter what the facts say. However, Obama can read
the polls as well as anyone, and he knows that Sanders would walk all over Donald Trump, whereas Clinton might well find herself in a dogfight. At
this point, an indictment of Clinton might well seem like an escape hatch for President Obama.
Hillary's
Support Among Democrats Fades As Party Crisis Looms. Democrats still can't decide if Hillary Clinton is
electable — in fact, her support has diminished as the primary season has dragged on. There are fears of a
party revolt by Bernie Sanders supporters at the July convention, and there's a huge rift forming between two of its major
factions. Plus, polls show that the supposedly can't-possibly-win Donald Trump is now close to Clinton. The
latest evidence of trouble came with Tuesday's primaries, where Clinton beat Sanders by a mere half a percentage
point — 46.8% to 46.3% — in Kentucky, a state where in 2008 Clinton walloped Obama by 66% to
30%. Sanders beat her in Oregon by an almost 10-point margin.
Cenk
Uygur: "CNN Never Showed You" What Really Happened At Nevada Dem Convention. The Young Turks host Cenk
Uygur explains how CNN exposed its pro-Clinton bias this weekend. "You're so biased you don't even see it," he said
about the hosts of the news network. "You think: I just got here on CNN because I'm, well, awesome.
No you got on CNN because you will say things that do not rock the boat. If you rock the boat, you will be called a
radical and rabble rouser and shown to the door."
Democratic
Party split over Sanders becomes real, personal, and very dangerous. The Democrat establishment is waking up to
the awful truth on Bernie Sanders: he is a mortal danger to not only the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, but the
continued viability of the party's strategy of mouthing populist rhetoric while practicing crony capitalism. Too late,
they now realize he actually means what he says about a "political revolution," and bringing him back into the fold by the
time of the Philadelphia Convention will be a problem.
Sanders
sticks it to the Democratic Party. As fallout from Saturday's Nevada Democratic convention expanded across
Democratic circles, the Vermont senator's defiance appeared to confirm some of the party's worst fears: The rifts
caused by the presidential primary may be deeper than anyone knew.
Dems' new fear:
Sanders revolt could upend Democratic convention. Sen. Barbara Boxer, a veteran of Democratic politics,
says she never saw anything quite like this before. Loud cursing, shouting, obscene gestures and vile insults,
including crude comments about the female anatomy. It was all on display over the weekend as supporters of Bernie
Sanders turned the Nevada State Democratic Convention into chaos.
Julian
Castro modifies HUD policy in apparent bid to be Clinton's running mate. [Scroll down] In what I'm sure
is yet another in a series of totally accidental, coincidental bits of timing, the HUD announcement was rolled out just as a
group of progressive activists revealed that they were planning "a full offensive" against Castro. The changes being
proposed at HUD look suspiciously like olive branches intended to defuse their complaints. These include requirements
for investors to offer to reduce the principal on underwater mortgages and to freeze interest rates for five years.
That may sound great to those holding the mortgages, but it's not exactly sound fiscal policy. So are these changes
supposed to be helping improve the program or enhance Castro's chances at being Hillary's running mate? And even if
it's the latter, could it ever be proved? Tough to say, but if he is the veep nominee, expect to hear more about this
straight through November.
Democrats
in Disarray: Sanders Wins Indiana in Upset. Sanders winning Indiana is a major upset but you wouldn't
know that by looking at the news. Everyone is covering the Trump news and ignoring the fact that there was actually a
Democrat primary as well. The media narrative has always been how "chaotic" the GOP race is. Well, not so much,
there is clarity tonight. The chaos belongs to the Democrats, and tonight proves it.
Read
the Radical Resume of Tom Perez, Possible Hillary VP Pick. Although much of Perez's history is well-known to
PJM readers due to his many fringe polices at the Justice Department Civil Rights Division, the Immigration Reform Law
Institute (IRLI) recently obtained his revealing eight-page resume. Nearly every single entry of his career
history involves some form of racial activism. [...] The document shows that with Perez near the White House, race-based
politics and social division in America will be sure to intensify. Picking Perez would ensure the most extreme and
marginalized policies of the Obama years would carry on into a Clinton administration.
You
Need to Know About Tom Perez: Likely Hillary VP Opposes First Amendment. Hillary Clinton is 68, and beset
by a persistent cough that she has never adequately explained. According to Ed Klein, author of Unlikeable:
The Problem with Hillary, she also suffers from "blinding headaches, exhaustion, insomnia, and a tremor in her
hands." If Hillary goes unindicted (as seems likely, given that the Justice Department has been hiring based solely on
left-leaning ideology) for her mishandling of classified material on her private email server, the deep split in the
Republican Party makes it likely that she will be the next president. Unless her health prevents her from remaining
in office. Given her apparent health issues (and the fact that her rival for the nomination, Bernie Sanders, is
74 years old), the Democrats' choice for vice president could be their most important since 1944.
Sanders
Campaign Accuses Clinton and DNC of Violating Campaign Finance Rules. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie
Sanders' campaign is accusing his rival Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Convention (DNC) of "serious apparent
violations of campaign finance laws" by improperly allocating money obtained through joint fundraising. In a statement
released Monday [4/18/2016], the Sanders' campaign wrote that the joint fundraising committee Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) is being
"exploited" to solely benefit Clinton's campaign for president.
Flashback:
Clintons attacked Obama's qualifications, 'one speech senator'. When it comes to comparing the qualifications
of others with themselves, Bill and Hillary Clinton revert to standard operating procedure: Bash them as inexperienced.
Just as the Clinton campaign is doing to Sen. Bernie Sanders, Hillary and Bill did to President Obama when he ran
against her in 2008.
Bill
Clinton Accuses Black Lives Matter Protesters of Defending Murderous Drug Dealers. America's "first black
president" has some detractors among the African-American community of Philadelphia. While rallying support for his
wife ahead of Pennsylvania's Democratic primary, Bill Clinton found himself in a shouting argument with a group of Black
Lives Matter protesters. The activists crashed Clinton's speech, bearing homemade signs reading, "Clinton's crime bill
destroyed our communities," and, "Welfare reform increased poverty." One sign made reference to Hillary Clinton's infamous
use of the right-wing trope superpredators — a term that described a "new class" of young black criminals who lacked
all conscience and empathy — during her husband's reelection campaign. The former First Lady apologized for
using the term when confronted by protesters back in February. Her husband took a different approach.
How
Hillary Clinton Bought the Loyalty of 33 State Democratic Parties. Collusion between the Clinton campaign and
the DNC allowed Hillary Clinton to buy the loyalty of 33 state Democratic parties last summer. Montana was one of those
states. It sold itself for $64,100. The Super Delegates now defying democracy with their insistent refusal to change
their votes to Sanders in spite of a handful of overwhelming Clinton primary losses in their own states, were arguably part
of that deal. In August 2015, at the Democratic Party convention in Minneapolis, 33 democratic state parties made deals
with the Hillary Clinton campaign and a joint fundraising entity called The Hillary Victory Fund. The deal allowed many
of her core billionaire and inner circle individual donors to run the maximum amounts of money allowed through those state
parties to the Hillary Victory Fund in New York and the DNC in Washington.
'Godmother'
Hillary shows her mob boss side. Hillary Clinton lost her temper the other day. She said she was "sick of
the Sanders campaign lying about me." It's hard to believe that this is what she's sick of — since Sanders is,
without question, the gentlest opposition candidate any front-runner has faced in the history of American politics. The
truth is likely this: She's sick, all right — sick of having to run against Sanders. Look, she had it in the
bag, guys, she had it in the bag. Before she declared her candidacy she made like Don Corleone of "The Godfather" and
put all the politicians and party bigwigs in her pocket. She lined up the superdelegates. She scared Elizabeth
Warren out of the race. She scared Joe Biden out of the race. The only one who dared face her was a septuagenarian
leftie lunatic from Vermont.
On
the Left, Deep Unease About the Dowager Empress of Chappaqua. Pass the popcorn: while conservatives are engrossed in the battle
between Trump and non-Trump, over on the Left, they're having an ideological conniption fit over the fixed-fight they call the Democrat
primaries. Nobody, it seems, much likes Hillary: [...] In fact, no one less than the FBI director himself, James Comey, will
interview the new chief of the Clinton Crime Family. With nearly 150 agents on the case, it's clear that where there's (obvious)
smoke there's also a four-alarm fire; the only question is whether the corrupt Obama "Justice" Department will dare or deign to indict the
career criminal, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Bi-Polar:
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders Embrace and Reject the Obama Legacy of Fail. The two candidates running for
the Democratic presidential nomination are trying to have it both ways: they want the support of the Barack Obama coalition
that got him elected to the presidency twice, but at the same time they are making the case that his policies have failed, and
they know better how to fix them. But the mainstream media have cast the latest Democratic debate as serving neither
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) nor Hillary Clinton, but instead bolstering the reputation of President Obama. While many
in the media claim that Mrs. Clinton has embraced President Obama's legacy more than the socialist Sanders has, a closer
examination of her words reveals implicit criticism of Obama's policies and progress.
Clinton's Failure
to Close. With Super Tuesday over, Clinton is once again demonstrating her inability to dispatch a "lesser
opponent." That inability to "close" cost her 2008's nomination and eight irretrievable years. This time it
could cost the presidency and her reputation. For this year's nomination, Hillary Clinton faces the junior
Senator from America's second smallest state. He is a self-described socialist and would be America's oldest president
at inauguration — by over five years — if elected. If ever a profile existed for someone for
the Democrats' most famous politician to beat handily, Bernie Sanders would seem to have it.
Trump Derangement Syndrome Turns Into
Treason. [Scroll down] Under pressure from Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton is now adopting positions well to the left of Obama.
On racial issues, she's already more extreme than he is. Ponder that for a minute. Both Democratic candidates are now airing blatantly racist
views about white privilege. Sanders and Clinton are also scrambling to get to the left of Obama on terrorism, socialized medicine and a raft of
other issues.
The
case against Clinton: This is the disaster Democrats must avoid. So far [Hillary] Clinton seems to have retained the status of favorite
for the Democratic nomination. But there are strong signs that it's Sanders who would fare better against the eventual GOP nominee. Recent
polling shows Sanders doing better than Clinton against each of the Republican contenders.
Bernie
Sanders has raised $16 million from the unemployed. One of Bernie Sanders talking points on the campaign trail is that the "real"
unemployment rate is much higher than the official 4.9% cited by the Labor Department, and he should know. That's because Sanders' biggest
source of fundraising support comes from the retired or unemployed, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission, as reported by
Bloomberg. $16 million of the $73 million the candidate raised in 2015 came from individual donors who said they were without jobs,
according to the report.
Bernie
Sanders' brother says 'rapist' Bill Clinton was a lousy president. Bernie Sanders' big brother ripped Bill Clinton in an
interview published Friday — saying that people forget what a lousy president he was because they're too preoccupied with his
sordid sex life. "Is Bill really such a terrible rapist — or is he a nice rapist?" Larry Sanders told The Daily Beast,
asking the question he said is on most people's minds when it comes to the former president, whose wife, Hillary, is in a showdown with
Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Bernie's
brother: Media can't decide if Clinton is 'terrible rapist' or 'nice rapist'. Bernie Sanders's elder brother rips Bill Clinton in a new interview,
suggesting the media is too focused debating whether the former president is a "terrible rapist" or "nice rapist." He also suggests that his brother, a
self-described democratic socialist running for the Democratic presidential nomination, is "very socialist" in his view of "class warfare." "Bill Clinton
has leapt in to try and make it personal with Bernard," Larry Sanders, 80, who lives in England, told The Daily Beast for an interview published Friday [2/19/2016].
He described Clinton as a "dreadful" president for poor people.
Clinton
Campaign Is Facing Fierce Headwinds. Hillary Clinton's struggling campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination is collapsing
faster than you can say "Bernie Sanders." And Democrats are now starting to ask if Sanders, the rumpled, fiery Vermont socialist, could beat
her in enough primaries to weaken her prospects in the general election, if not defeat her outright. Sanders, who was once dismissed by party
leaders as a kooky left-wing insurgent with little grassroots support, is giving Clinton the political fight of her life.
Frustrated
female senators say Clinton is victim of sexism. Women serving in the Senate say Hillary Clinton is being subjected to an unfair,
sexist double standard on the campaign trail. Criticisms of Clinton's tone of voice have become prominent in recent weeks, stirring strong
feelings among Senate Democratic women who say they too have had to battle the stereotype of the shrill female. "She's often judged by a
double standard," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), the dean of the Senate women.
Grim Tidings
for Hillary. Hillary Clinton's loss to Bernie Sanders in the New Hampshire primary wasn't as bad as she'd
feared. It was worse. Sanders's margin of victory — 60 percent to 39 percent —
was the largest ever by a Democrat who wasn't a sitting president. It was a come-from-behind win: Eight months
ago, Sanders was at 9 percent and Clinton held a 46-point advantage. And Sanders overperformed the polls.
Only 1 of the last 15 polls had him above 60 percent; the Real Clear Politics average in New Hampshire
had him at 54.5 percent going into the vote.
Dumb, Dumber and Democrat.
Not all Republicans are talented valedictorians residing on Mt. Genius, but today's Democratic party and its supporters have become
disgustingly dumber as the presidential campaign wears on. It escapes me how a Democrat, let alone any American citizen, would
cede their rights to bureaucratic dolts. But that is the preference of the Democratic electorate. Their choices for president
include an old con-artist just toenails ahead of federal prosecutors and an ancient curmudgeon determined to tax and spend our nation
into the dust bowl of history.
The Progressives' Phony
Democracy. Consider the recent two presidential primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire. In the popular vote Bernie Sanders tied
Hillary in Iowa and wiped her out in New Hampshire. Yet Hillary ended up with more delegates — 394 to Sanders' 44.
Why? Because there are 712 "superdelegates," Congressmen, governors, some mayors, and certain party apparatchiks. Each superdelegate
is worth about 10,000 of one citizen's vote. So much for believing "mankind are capable of governing themselves."
Clinton
campaign's comment that Nevada is '80% white' angers some Democrats. The ethnically diverse Nevada has been touted for months as the state where Clinton
finally pulls away from the dead heat race she's been running with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose coalition of young, generally white voters propelled him to a win
in New Hampshire and a virtual tie in Iowa. But the form secretary of state's campaign team seems to hedging their bets and downplaying her chances of pulling
off a major victory in the Silver State.
Eight
years later, Bill Clinton is causing headaches for his wife again. Halfway through a 40-minute stump speech here, Bill Clinton arrived
on the topic of Bernie Sanders's proposal for single-payer health coverage — and became annoyed. "Every time we try to have a debate
on this, they say: 'You don't understand. We're creating a revolution. You're getting in the way. You're part of the establishment,'"
Clinton drawled, with more than a hint of frustration in his voice. "God forbid we should have an honest discussion on it." Then Clinton
changed course again.
Uncle
Bernie Sanders Is Brainwashing Our Uneducated Youth. Lovable Bernie is essentially propagandizing a generation
of gullible American young people who don't have anything near the education or experience to understand what is happening to
them. His task is made simpler because his Democratic Party opponent is demonstrably and obviously corrupt and in danger of
prosecution. She has also been pushed so far to the left by Bernie's success (and her own fears) that no serious questions
about socialism are even asked. Our educational system, which, even at the college level, rarely looks at socialism from a
results-oriented perspective, exacerbates this situation. Yet those results sit just below our southern border in catastrophic
form for all to see, though few, especially among the young, have the background or, frankly, even the interest, to look.
Even
Democrats' Rigged Superdelegate System May Not Be Enough for Hillary to Prevail. [Scroll down] Mrs. Bill is so terrible once
she gets in front of the public that even those in the rigged system that should be her safety net abandon her. Again, this is largely
because the Hillary Clinton pitch to the electorate is mostly myth. She's not really a strong feminist. She's not really even a
strong woman. She's ridden the coattails of two men who embarrassed her publicly to get where she's at. And she was still the best
the Democrat elites had to offer as their establishment pick the last two times they got to anoint a non-incumbent.
Democrat primaries: Soviet
style. Importantly, unlike with Republicans, the Democrats' modern election "process" is ironically autocratic, not democratic.
Superdelegates may ensure a unified decision-making process, but it is top-down and based upon the party's stamp of approval rather than a
generalized expression of whom the voters want. In this way, a top-down process is antithetical to the traditional bottom-up process the
Founding Fathers intended: common people choosing informed electors who in turn choose the nominee. But it's worse than that.
Super-delegates beholden to no one — save the party itself — make this nominating process inherently corrupt, based
upon backroom dealing completely removed from the American people's influence.
Beware a Wounded Clinton. Hillary
and Bill Clinton were prepared to lose, but there's a loss and then there's a shellacking. After barely winning Iowa, with its coin tosses and independent
calls for a public recount of the secret ballots, getting trounced by Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire by 20 points suggests tissue-rejection of the Clinton
candidacy. It's likely some of those voters weren't even pro-Sanders, just turned off by Clinton. The Republican race is starting to look tame by
comparison. The rejection went to her character. Among Democrats who say they care most about honesty and trustworthiness, she lost by 86 points.
None of Bill's lip-biting brand attached to her: She lost by 65 points among those who want their candidate to care about people like themselves.
Then there are the women. Although they were threatened with eternal damnation, a majority of women — seven in 10 under 45 —
did not vote for the would-be first female president.
The Coming Hillary
Meltdown? Interesting tidings in the media the last 24 hours that suggest a smoldering volcano of Democratic discontent
and near panic. The Democratic establishment has cleared the field for Hillary, and she's having trouble putting away Bernie
Sanders! If she can't handle Bernie Sanders, how will she match up with a Republican nominee?
Hillary
Steals Obama's 2008 Playbook: Minority Support, Voter Fraud. Eight years ago, Hillary Clinton watched as Barack Obama crushed her dreams,
then used her body as a stepping stone to the presidency. Now, she has determined that she will become Obama. Hillary rightfully should
have won the 2008 primaries — she had all the advantages on her side. She didn't, because Barack Obama seized it from her arthritic hands
thanks to three distinct phenomena: wildly disproportionate support from the minority community, a friendly media unwilling to ask tough questions,
and voter fraud. Hillary has learned her lesson.
The Unhinged.
When presented with a fair fight or an all-out political nuclear war, the Clintons always push the button. Bernie [Sanders] must be
destroyed because he can beat her. Don't get me wrong. There isn't a dime's worth of difference between the two: Both want
free college, higher taxes, more spending, bigger government, less personal responsibility, etc., etc. The difference is Hillary has
speechwriters twisting those things into rosy, horribly delivered lectures, and Bernie speaks from the heart like a homeless man yelling at
an empty cookie jar. But the Democratic Party has turned into the home of homeless people yelling at cookie jars, so he's a threat.
Democrats
Might Rue Their Attempt to Coronate Hillary. If Hillary Clinton were in an actual horse race, she'd be at the glue factory
today. Consider: In an effectively two-way race for the Democratic nomination, the former first lady, U.S. senator, and secretary
of state — vanquisher of the patriarchy, shatterer of glass ceilings, modeler of pants suits — earned less than
half the vote against a 74-year-old, Marxist incarnation of Waldorf from The Muppets, [...]
Clinton
wins Iowa by 0.2 percent. The last precinct to report — Polk County's precinct No. 42 —
reported a Sanders win with 58.3 percent of support above Clinton's 41.7 percent. In Iowa with all 1,683
precincts reporting, Clinton won with 49.8 percent to Sanders' 49.6 percent.
The
Revolution That Will Either Destroy America... or the Left. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are the same
candidate. They're both leftist radicals with degrees in political science who held back some of their more radical ideas
to pursue political office. In the two years that they served together in the Senate, they voted the same way 93 percent
of the time. They're also political opportunists. Bernie Sanders, no less than Hillary, reinvented his political views,
including his allegiance to Socialism, numerous times over the years. Sanders moderated his positions on everything from gun
control to Israel when it helped his political career. He's now modifying plenty of positions all over again in order to appeal to
new and different voters. Bernie Sanders is no more authentic than Hillary Clinton and she is no less radical than he is.
Team
Clinton Attacks Bernie Sanders As A Socialist. After desperately trying to convince the Democratic base that she's as liberal as
Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and her backers are now charging that Sanders is unelectable because he's too extreme.
New
Hillary Emails Confirm: Democrats to Nominate First Openly Socialist Presidential Candidate. About two weeks
ago, I wrote that we should "Stick a fork in Hillary, because she's done." In that particular case, emails revealed that
then-Secretary of State Clinton had instructed aides to strip classification headers from secure documents and send them over
insecure channels. Which, by my count, was felony #336 committed by Ms. Clinton and her aides, who conspired to co-mingle
State Department, Clinton Foundation transactions, and related criminal activity using a private email server that operated
outside public scrutiny. Today's news really does mean the demise of Clinton's campaign. The intelligence community's
inspector general reported to Congress that he "had discovered "several dozen" classified emails, including messages containing
what's known as 'special access programs' (SAP) information".
A
desperate Hillary attacks Sanders for supporting legislation Bill signed. Sanders, of course, was the only one
of the stage who could have voted to deregulate in 2000. Neither Clinton nor Martin O'Malley served in Congress at that time.
[...] Consider this, however. Bill Clinton signed into law the very act — The Commodity Futures Modernization Act
of 2000 — that Hillary attacked Sanders for supporting. I don't know the exact state of the Clinton marriage in
2000, but it seems highly unlikely that Hillary would have voted against an act her husband was willing to sign.
Clinton
casts herself as Obama's heir, Sanders calls for 'revolution' in debate. Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton
on Sunday cast herself as President Obama's natural heir on guns, health care and the economy in the final debate before
Iowa's caucuses, but Sen. Bernard Sanders said it's time for Democrats to push further, saying the country needs a "political
revolution" to break the power of big corporations. Mrs. Clinton accused Mr. Sanders of betraying Mr. Obama by seeking a
primary opponent for him in 2012, and calling the president weak on tackling Wall Street. And she said Mr. Sanders' new
plan for government-sponsored universal health care would undo the advances of Obamacare, which she said she would defend and expand.
Clinton
clings to Obama to push back against Sanders in heated debate. What's unjust about the Democratic process? Just
look at the calendar. The party's first debate — Oct. 13 in Las Vegas — coincided with a
Dodgers-Mets playoff game. Bye-bye, viewership in America's largest media markets. The second debate — Nov. 14
in Des Moines — aired on a Saturday night, pitting it against a heavy slate of college football. Hillary vs.
Bernie 3 — Dec. 19 in New Hampshire, also a Saturday — went missing amidst pre-Christmas shopping and
holiday parties. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, fervently denies that this is a
conspiracy to dowse "Feel The Bern." When her term is up, she has a wonderful future ahead of her in witness relocation.
Biden
Kneecaps Hillary as the Dem Establishment Gets Nervous. You don't say this sort of thing if you're enthusiastic about Clinton
being the Democratic nominee in 2016. [...] Perhaps Biden is just miffed at Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Democratic National Committee for
rigging the primaries in Clinton's favor. The DNC ruled there would only be six debates, only four of them before Iowa, and two buried
late on Saturday nights. They've scheduled debates opposite major sporting events — last night's candidate forum, which
ran on little-watched Fusion while Americans were captivated by the college football national championship game, was just the latest
example — and on the weekend before Christmas, doing everything in their power to give the impression that they don't
want audiences to watch their candidates spar.
Biden His Time. What happens if
Hillary Clinton is, mirabile dictu, indicted for her crimes? Yes, I know — that's why I called it a thought experiment.
Still, it could happen, or at least if the FBI recommends prosecution and the Justice Department declines to indict, it might be enough to cause
a crisis that even the Clintons can't overcome. What happens then? Surely the Democratic establishment won't want to head to the fall
with Bernie Sanders as their standard-bearer. (And Martin O'Mushly isn't a very good fallback position either.) Vice President Joe Biden
is the obvious Plan B for the Democratic Party, and there's no doubt the party would change the nomination rules if it has to in order to
put Slow Joe in the fast lane.
Bernie
Hints at Warren for VP. In what would be a dream ticket for some and a nightmare to others, Bernie Sanders has been dropping some
not-so-subtle hints that he would select Elizabeth Warren as his running mate. This would be a smart move on Bernie's part. He has
been functioning as a stand-in for Warren and derives support from her wing of the Democratic Party. The left would be electrified.
The rest of the country would be horrified as these two Neo-Marxists traveled the land promising to take wealth from some and give to others.
Morning
Joe Panel Says [the] DNC [is] Rigging [the] Primary for Hillary Clinton. The panel on MSNBC's Morning Joe harshly
criticized the Democratic National Committee on Monday [11/21/2015] for trying to protect Hillary Clinton and ensure she receives
the Democratic party's presidential nomination. While discussing Saturday night's Democratic presidential debate, co-host
Mika Brzezinski asked, "There isn't really a nomination fight, is there? The way this is set up." Her co-host Joe
Scarborough shook his head in agreement before saying to BBC's Katty Kay, "If the Democrats, I think, for the first time in the
history of modern politics — and I'm serious — you had a political party take every measure they could for
Americans not to see their candidates."
Obama,
Clinton may be setting up Trump to win Republican nomination. President Obama and Hillary Clinton have
intensified attacks on Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, accusing him of manipulating voters' "fear and
ignorance" and using anti-Muslim rhetoric that helps recruit Islamic State terrorists — jabs that appear to be
energizing his supporters and strengthening his campaign. But campaign strategists say the attacks are not aimed at
knocking down Mr. Trump. Instead, the smears are part of a calculated ploy by Democrats who want to help him win
because they are convinced the billionaire businessman will lose in the general election.
Since Vince Foster isn't available... Push
on for Clinton-McAuliffe ticket. Terry McAuliffe, the Virginia governor who was former President Bill Clinton's
top fundraiser and Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign chair, is being pushed for vice president, possibly creating an extended
Clinton family dynasty in America's two top political offices. A Clinton-McAuliffe pairing would be the most friendly
ever and a long road from the usual ticket coalition like the 1980 Reagan-Bush ticket.
Democrats
already looking at possible V.P. candidates to run on Clinton ticket. Reportedly among the possible running
mates: Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., former Maryland governor and presidential contender Martin O'Malley, and Housing and
Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro. "It would be a balanced and diverse ticket, and it would be two firsts:
a female as president and a Latino as vice president," Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo., said of a Clinton-Castro ticket. "I think it's a
better reflection of America than what the other side can offer."
The Editor says...
Once again we see that the Democrats are the party that categorizes everybody. Beliefs and values don't matter to them as
much as skin color and membership in a perpetually-aggrieved demographic category.
Biden's
Exit Shows The Fix Is In: Hillary Is The Nominee. After much public agonizing, Vice President Joe Biden finally said he would not run for
president. His decision shows Hillary Clinton's strength — for all its leftward tilt, cash and impunity — is formidable.
Joe Biden opts out of presidential
race. Vice President Joe Biden has decided to forgo a 2016 presidential bid, he announced Wednesday [10/21/2015].
"I believe we're out of time — the time necessary to mount a winning campaign," the vice president said from the
White House Rose Garden with his wife Jill Biden and President Obama by his side.
Jim Webb May Run As Independent and Elect Hillary Clinton. It's almost like
they're all in on this together. One advantage of being part of the progressive movement is that they're relatively united. They're all pretty much
socialists and social justice warriors. They disagree, a bit, on how seriously they should take these plans to re-fashion man in Marx's image, but on the
basics of the thing, they all agree. The opposition to these forces is, on the other hand, fractured. The left isn't really challenged by a conservative
movement; it's challenged by a coalition that is merely non-leftist, which includes people who believe in a semi-coherent ideology called "conservatism,"
but which also includes a lot of people who disagree with conservatism, such Republicans.
Hillary Clinton is still a terrible
candidate. Yes, Clinton can unite her party. Especially when the other options are an avowed socialist, a
former Republican senator, a former Reagan official who smiles at the thought of killing on the battlefield, and a former Maryland
governor who built a cops-and-incarceration résumé and ran in the exact year when those politics seem cruelly out of
date. But did last week change any of her problems?
Democratic
Candidates for Governor Avoiding Ties to Clinton. As Hillary Clinton battles the perception that shes
struggling to win over support in the 2016 presidential race, Democrats running for governor in 2015 are avoiding
association with her as they finish their campaigns.
Halperin:
Bill Clinton's Performance Defending Hillary 'Has Freaked Out a Lot of Democrats'. Bloomberg reporter Mark
Halperin said Monday [9/28/2015] that Democrats are "freaking out" about an off-message interview given by Bill Clinton
because they need him as a positive face of the campaign for 2016. In a Sunday [9/27/2015] interview with CNN, the former
president talked about the scandals weighing down Hillary's campaign, which he attributed to a partisan effort to destroy her
political ambitions.
The Uni-party's 2016 Election
Strategy. The main objective of the political-media establishment and, in particular, Barack Obama is to prevent
any post-election investigation of the rampant corruption in Washington DC. Both the Democrats and the Republicans want to
maintain their standing as permanent political elites, whereby they may continue to treat ordinary Americans as indentured
servants and broker the tax revenues for the benefit of themselves and their wealthy donors. It is clear that the Obamas
and Valerie "Rasputin" Jarrett hate the Clintons and do not want to risk "payback time" from a vindictive and ruthless President
Hillary. The Obama strategy is stretch out the homebrew server scandal to undermine Hillary's campaign through a death by a
thousand cuts. It has to be delicate surgery, something short of indictment and trial, which would likely implicate him, and
something that would prevent retaliation from the Clinton camp, perhaps leaks of the Muslim or birther variety that we witnessed
from them during the 2008 primary season.
Joe Biden is no Hillary Clinton.
Sure, he's a gaffe-monster. He's a little goofy. He's been wrong more than just about anybody on just about everything.
He's a bloviator. And he can be nasty, for example when he accused Republicans of wanting to put blacks back in chains.
But he has something Hillary will never have. Believability.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz Must Go.
During the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries, Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was a strong
supporter of Hillary Clinton's, serving as a co-chair to her campaign. In April this year she told the Sun-Sentinel,
"Secretary Clinton, I think is arguably one of the most qualified people — assuming she announces her
candidacy — who have ever run for president. I was proud to support her in 2008. Of course, as DNC
chair, I will neutrally manage our primary nomination contest, assuming we have one." Schultz didn't count on Senator
Bernie Sanders becoming a serious contender in the Democratic primaries. In response, Ms. Wasserman-Schultz has ceded
her stance of neutrality to aid Hillary Clinton's run for president.
Hillary
Clinton: Biden Buzz Isn't Impacting My Support. Hillary Clinton said Friday that the buzz surrounding Joe Biden's
possible White House bid has not kept her potential supporters on the sidelines and spoke openly about her campaign's efforts to
secure delegates while attending the Democratic National Committee meeting. Clinton said she hasn't seen "any evidence" that
Democrats are waiting for the vice president to make a decision before pledging their support for her. "We have picked up
additional supporters yesterday and even today," Clinton added.
An
authentic alternative to Hillary Clinton. The media fixation on the largest Republican field of presidential
candidates in history misses the very real crisis Democrats are facing as their slam-dunk nominee's campaign unravels before
their eyes. A year ago virtually everyone agreed that Hillary Rodham Clinton would not only be easily nominated, but was the
odds-on favorite to succeed President Obama. Now with the FBI on her tail, a string of less than inspiring appearances and
interviews and polls showing her fading, Democrats are faced with the question of what to do if her campaign collapses.
With friends such as
these .... Just how bad are the Democrats' problems regarding the 2016 presidential nomination? They
find themselves with an "inevitable" nominee whose campaign is imploding, who is facing not merely political but huge
legal problems, who is the subject of investigations by federal agencies that may explode any day with unwelcome surprises,
and who is dropping by the day in polls of potential national voters.
Obama
and Biden Meet for Lunch as Momentum Builds for Challenge to Hillary. Back in Washington D.C. after an extended
vacation, President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden sat down for lunch today while reports suggest that the vice president
is "leaning towards" a primary challenge to Hillary Clinton's Democratic nomination for president in 2016. The event
took place in the private dining room of the White House, but was closed to the press. While it is likely that the pair
discussed a potential Biden run for president, no details were leaked about the content of their discussion.
A Biden-Warren Ticket? It speaks
poorly of Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren that neither has entered the presidential race. Hillary Clinton's vulnerability has been
evident for quite some time, if not all along. Yet neither Biden nor Warren have had the guts to challenge her. That role
fell to a pugnacious, Brooklyn-born socialist with little to lose. But Biden and Warren may be about to team up. The
two met this weekend. Together, they might muster the courage to take on the wounded bully.
Biden's interest in presidential bid fuels Clinton world
panic. Vice President Joe Biden's clear signals of interest in the presidency has piqued the not-quite-but-almost
panic going on among insider Democrats that want Hillary Clinton to the be their party's 2016 nominee. Biden is a loyal
Democratic foot soldier, and few expect him to crash Clinton's party. But her acolytes are increasingly nervous. The
vice president has done nothing to tamp down speculation that he's preparing to play the role of Democratic savior and jump into
the White House race if the former secretary of state is effectively pushed out because of the ongoing scandal surrounding her
use of a private email server during her tenure at the State Department.
Hillary
and the vast left wing conspiracy. Hillary Clinton is twisting in the wind, a victim of a vast conspiracy to
torpedo her candidacy. But this time, it is a real conspiracy, and it comes from the left. The "vast right wing conspiracy"
that she identified in 1998 as behind the surfacing of Monica Lewinski's Oval Office fellatio of her husband was actually the product
of activities of open opponents of her husband publishing their findings. It takes a paranoid village to see opposition as inherently
conspiratorial. But this time around, as she twists in the wind, the people enabling her political immolation are ostensibly on her
side, and acting covertly. Metaphorically smiling as the stiletto goes deeper into her back. Monica Crowley is the latest
pundit to identify the subterranean earthquake quietly torpedoing Hillary's chance at occupying the Oval Office and finally getting even
with Bill: [...]
Tantaros
on Possible Biden Run: 'Hillary Is on the Verge of Political Collapse'. Andrea Tantaros weighed in on whether Biden's run
is a potential "Plan B" for Democrats in 2016. [...] "I think Hillary Clinton is a shell of a candidate on the verge of political
collapse. And I think someone as politically astute as President Barack Obama knows that. I also don't think they are friends.
I think they are 'frenemies' and he wants to secure his legacy, that's all he cares about. The Clintons will trash it in the general
[election]," she said.
Battle of the Red Geezers. Hill
and Bern each want to lay claim to their party's presidential nomination next year. Beyond that, the presidency. Both will
shortly begin beating the stuffing out of each other. Both are reds, though per the spin, Bern is the purer red. Hill, goes
the critique, is the compromised of the two. A crony capitalist underbelly afflicts William Jefferson Clinton's 40-year bride... a
grubby acquisitiveness — and not just for power to make the world more compassionate, fairer, and equal — is an
itch Hill must scratch. Shakedowns — err, speeches — have made Bill and Hill mucho rich reds.
Influence-peddling was added to the Clintons' portfolio when Hill served as O's secretary of state.
Dems have few options
if Hillary falters. [Scroll down] The conversation has illustrated that the Democrats' emergency options are
not good. Barring a Gary Hart-like meltdown by Hillary, they are limited to retreads like Biden, Gore and John Kerry.
Accomplished and respected retreads who retain popularity and influence in Democratic circles, but retreads nonetheless.
Bernie
Sanders in 'Statistical Tie' With Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire Poll. The poll was
conducted [7/22-30/2015] by the University of New Hampshire and WMUR. "Hillary Clinton remains in
a statistical tie with Vermont senator Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire. Clinton and Sanders enjoy
similar net favorability ratings among Democratic primary voters," the poll press release reads.
Bernie
Sanders: I'm roadblock to Hillary Clinton's coronation. Voters filled the large
banquet hall yesterday [8/1/2015] at Southern New Hampshire University to support Vermont Sen.
Bernie Sanders, who gave an impassioned speech on income inequality and boasted he's gaining
traction against fellow presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. "Something happened on the
way to a coronation," he told the cheering crowd. "It was me."
Desperate
Dems panicking over Hillary as stilettos are unsheathed. The sheer awfulness of Hillary
Clinton's candidacy is sinking in on the power elite of the Democratic Party, and signals are being
sent. It is going to be stiletto time soon. The lethal combination of her scandals and her
unappealing, wooden, personality that reeks of phoniness could bring down not only her presidential
campaign, but the entire down-ticket of the Dems. Thus it is that the semi-official party organ, the
New York Times is signaling major donors, campaign workers, and apparatchiki of the party that it is
time to think the unthinkable, and turn to the unlikeliest of saviors, Joe Biden. Two high profile
pieces in the Times tell the story.
The astonishing
weakness of Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is as unpopular as she ever has been. Her
favorability ratings have fallen to just 40 percent. Her campaign is already heading south, even
though she has serious advantages over everyone else in the campaign, both Democratic and Republican.
Her opponents in the Democratic field do not pose a plausible mathematical threat. Bernie Sanders can
attract huge crowds in college towns, but he is going nowhere with the African-American voters who would be
key to building an anti-Clinton Democratic primary coalition. Martin O'Malley's record, shaped by his
transition from the Baltimore mayoralty to the Maryland statehouse, has made him radioactive to an activist
Democratic base that wants criminal justice reform and that winces when a politician like him says, "All
Lives Matter." Clinton is thus free to define her agenda apart from them.
As
Hillary Craters, Democrats Search for Panic Button. Losing a state like Colorado by
nine points to Scott Walker (who will be the GOP standard-bearer in 2016) would mean an electoral
disaster for the Democrats is in the offing. If it's not close in Colorado or Iowa, it means the
Democrats would likely lose every swing state, including Walker's own Wisconsin, and be confined to
their electoral ghettos in New England and on the West Coast.
The Bernie Surge Makes Perfect Sense:
He's Not Hillary. [Scroll down] Being 'not Hillary' includes: not believing
that he is automatically next in line and merely enduring the tedious process of getting back to the
White House; being willing to speak, off the cuff, to journalists, potential supporters, voters and
even citizens who are not on his payroll; the absence of a record of deceit and prevarication; and a
lifetime of politics based on conviction, some stunningly misguided, all honestly held. Relative
obscurity beats overexposure, too.
Hillary
Clinton is Bernie Sanders in a pantsuit. All of the talk about Mrs. Clinton "moving to
the left," which has been reported regularly in the media, is a waste of breath. This implies that
there is somewhere on the left for Hillary to move. But based on her voting record over eight years
in the Senate, as well as statements and proposals she has made or plans to make as a candidate, Hillary
Clinton is already on the leftwing fringe.
Bernie
Sanders Is The Future Of The Democratic Party. "The rise of Bernie Sanders is proving
awkward for the Democratic Party," contends Politico in a recent piece about the surprisingly
popular socialist presidential candidate. Well, maybe it's not that surprising. And it's
probably not that awkward. Politico could have just as easily declared: The rise of
Bernie Sanders is a completely predictable outcome of the Democratic Party's trajectory. Or, maybe, the
rise of Bernie Sanders portends a socialistic future for the Democratic Party.
American
Federation of Teachers Endorses Hillary Clinton For President. The American Federation
of Teachers (AFT) today chose to back Clinton in the Democratic primary for president. "In
vision, in experience and in leadership, Hillary Clinton is the champion working families need in
the White House," AFT President Randi Weingarten said in a statement released this afternoon [7/11/2015].
"Hillary Clinton is a tested leader who shares our values, is supported by our members, and is
prepared for a tough fight on behalf of students, families and communities."
Hillary and the Hippie.
Political observers are still speculating over whether the July 4th New York Times' report on
the loony biography of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was meant as a hit-job or an
encomium. He is closing in on the Democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden is standing
in the wings. Other ambitious Democratic pols are smelling blood.
Hillary
Clinton's Team Is Wary as Bernie Sanders Finds Footing in Iowa. The ample crowds and
unexpectedly strong showing garnered by Senator Bernie Sanders are setting off worry among advisers
and allies of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who believe the Vermont senator could overtake her in Iowa
polls by the fall and even defeat her in the nation's first nominating contest there. The
enthusiasm that Mr. Sanders has generated — including a rally attended by 2,500 people
in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Friday — has called into question Mrs. Clinton's early strategy
of focusing on a listening tour of small groups and wooing big donors in private settings.
Joe
Biden likely to join 2016 White House race next month, top fundraiser says. Vice President Joseph R.
Biden's team is putting out the word that he is leaning in favor of joining the presidential race next month, according
to a prominent Democratic fundraiser. The veep's entrance would dramatically shake up the Democratic contest,
confronting front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton with a formidable opponent who is equally well-known across the country
and poised to tap a network of major donors.
Big
Blow to Hillary: Major union leader goes all in for Bernie. Unions wield considerable
political influence and are some of the most generous contributors during campaigns, especially to
Democrats. If more major union leaders decide not to officially endorse Hillary, it could be
devastating for her campaign. Despite not yet demonstrating a strong position on trade, Hillary
has still tried in other ways to court unions. She prominently showed off union-made gear in May
during the official launch of her online campaign shop, and she urged people to stand firmly for
unions during a speech in Chicago.
Helping Sanders Stop
Hillary. Democrats have worked hard over the last several presidential cycles to spread division within
the Republican Party. Rush Limbaugh has suggested that conservatives return the favor. Why not?
The Democratic Party is obviously trying to squeeze out any competition for Hillary, hoping that if she coasts to the
nomination without spending money or spilling blood, she will have a decided advantage coming out of the conventions.
Bernie Sanders has other ideas. Although his political ideology is dead wrong, at least Sanders calls himself a
socialist. His political career has not been pockmarked by the ghastly misconduct of the Clinton gang. The
size of the crowds Sanders is drawing strongly suggests that many Democrats are uncomfortable with the coronation of Mrs.
William Jefferson Clinton. Conservatives ought to be trying help Sanders stand up to Hillary and her plutocratic friends.
Hillary Clinton
Is the Status Quo Candidate. President Obama's approval rating is underwater, and
unless he experiences a surge in popularity over the next year, some election analysts think the
likelihood of Hillary winning is much lower than advertised. Hillary will apparently try to
distinguish herself from Obama while at the same time adopting his campaign strategy, which
emphasized mobilizing the liberal base over persuading undecided voters.
The Democratic
Party is Officially Leaderless. Barack Obama's presidency is all but over. It's Hillary Clinton's party now,
but she does not seem inclined to lead it so much as to emerge as its supervisor by default and through a process of attrition.
She is not in a hurry to rush that process, and there is no alternative Democratic leader waiting in the wings. Inadvertently,
what House Democrats did on Friday [6/12/2015] was to decapitate their own party.
Centrist
Dems wary of Hillary's move to the left. Moderate Democrats are worried about Hillary
Clinton's recent embrace of liberal policies. After positioning herself as a centrist and steely
potential commander in chief in the 2008 Democratic primary, Clinton has shifted.
Hillary
Clinton moves left as Bernie Sanders picks up momentum. Sen. Bernard Sanders' strong
second-place showing in Wisconsin Democrats' presidential straw poll has party leaders warning
Hillary Rodham Clinton that she could have a real primary race on her hands. Mrs. Clinton, who is
supposed to be the party's all-but-inevitable presidential nominee, barely beat Mr. Sanders in the
balloting this past weekend, garnering 252 votes to his 208, or 49 percent to 41 percent.
Hillary's
nightmare scenario accelerating. Democrats from the grassroots on up are awakening to
the awful truth: Hillary Clinton is a scandal-ridden, unlikable, arrogant, nasty, wealth-obsessed,
awkward, gaffe-prone nightmare of a nominee. Inevitable? Well, she's got the party officials
locked up and serious alternatives like Elizabeth Warren quaking in their sensible shoes, but she is
so unappealing that even Bernie Sanders is starting to look good.
The
panic that dare not speak its name: Hillary looks like a loser to Dems. No Democrats
are willing to go on the record with their doubts about Hillary Clinton's electability —
not even the gaggle of hopeless, sad-sack nominal opponents for the nomination: Lincoln "metric
system" Chafee, Bernie "socialism now!" Sanders, and Martin "the guy who taxed rain" O'Malley. But
a shocking potential rival is waiting in the wings. The realization is dawning on many in the
jackass party that they have an unappealing, gaffe-prone, self-entitled, scandal-ridden presumptive
nominee on their hands.
Hillary
the Tormentor. Lately I've been running into people even more put off by the Clintons than the
nefarious operatives in the "vast right wing conspiracy" ever were. They're called Democrats.
Hillary's high
risk faux primary race. So Linc Chafee is in the race. This brings the number of
contenders up to four. You have an embittered, kleptocratic and entitled Social Security recipient;
you have a sex-obsessed, corrupt septuagenarian Socialist; you have a big city machine Progressive;
and you have the Wonder-Bread-and-Velveeta pragmatist. Of this crew, the only one that is a real
contender is Martin O'Malley. But the real reason this bunch of northeastern Progressive white
guys are in the race is to give the illusion that Hillary is not cruising to a coronation.
Julian
Castro, Hillary's Rumored Veep Pick, Wasn't a Real Mayor. Months before the 2016 election
really begins in earnest, there is serious speculation that Hillary Clinton, the near-inevitable
Democratic-party presidential nominee, has already settled on her vice-presidential pick: Juliÿn Castro.
[...] But even a cursory glance at Castro's curriculum vitae reveals a laughably thin set of accomplishments,
betraying the real reasons why Castro is in the conversation — reasons that liberal Latino pundits
and organizations are all too willing to overlook in the name of electoral success.
Team Hillary
to Julian Castro: Back off. The media has noticed that new HUD Secretary and former
San Antonio mayor Julian Castro has upped his public profile as the presidential race heats up.
He's not jockeying for a position in the race itself, according to analysts, but attempting to position
himself as a potential running mate for the Democratic nominee — specifically, Hillary
Clinton. Part of that effort apparently entails rounding up Hispanic activists to pressure Hillary
into moving him to the short list in case she wins the nomination, [...]
The
awful truth about Hillary is beginning to dawn on Dems. Hillary looks like a disaster-in-the-making, with very
poor campaign skills and an indefensible record overseeing foreign policy disasters that have exploded in the face of Obama.
But some in the mainstream media are beginning to shed their reluctance to say that the empress has no clothes.
Barack Obama's
Hillary Clinton Problem. You knew it was coming: The White House is starting to get a
case of Clintonitis. With Hillary Rodham Clinton the overwhelming favorite to carry the Democratic
torch next year — and now an official candidate starting to spout policy positions —
the White House has been forced to parry an ever-increasing barrage of questions. Speaker John A.
Boehner got the ball rolling by asking President Barack Obama to enlist Clinton's help to pass fast-track
trade authority.
Hillary's
Unqualified Top VP Choice. [Scroll down] First, let's begin with the fact that
[Julian] Castro's most important elected experience was as San Antonio's mayor, which is a largely
symbolic position. "San Antonio's city government is a council-manager system," explains the
Atlantic's City Lab: "Unlike the strong-mayor governments of Chicago or New York, San Antonio's
government is led by a city manager, which is appointed by the City Council. The city charter
invests in the city manager the authority to execute the laws and administer the government of the
city." Elected in 2009, Castro was basically a glorified ribbon-cutter.
Julian
Castro is 'only' veep prospect for top Clintonians, says source. Top members of Team
Hillary are already pushing Julian Castro as her vice presidential nominee, with one source telling
me last week that right now, there isn't even a second choice. "There's only one person the top
guys are looking at right now, and that's Julian," said the source, who is close to top Clinton officials.
The Editor says...
Isn't this rich. The "pro-choice" party has only one possible nominee and the nominee has only
one possible running mate. (Sounds like Zimbabwe or Cuba or North Korea.) And this would
seem to preclude next year's Democratic Party convention. If Hillary becomes the next President,
brace yourself for a number of unilateral decrees like this one.
Will Julián Castro Be
Hillary Clinton's Running Mate? The consensus winner of Tuesday's [10/13/2015] Democratic presidential debate was Hillary Clinton, but
the debate had barely ended when someone asked me the logical next question: what are the odds that Julián Castro, the former
mayor of San Antonio and current Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, will be her running mate?
Uh-oh!
Terrible news for Hillary in new poll. How long will it take for Democrats to realize
that Hillary Clinton is terrible candidate who will lead them to disaster in 2016? [...] I will
leave aside her terrible track record, her inability to speak extemporaneously without committing
gaffes, her unappealing screech when excited, her inner arrogance and anger, and the ethical
compromises as SecState that led her to destroy the email evidence that could have either exonerated
or convicted her. What is of concern here is some terrible polling results over something she
can do nothing about.
4
Reasons To Think Hillary Clinton And Bernie Sanders Are In Cahoots. Did Team Clinton
put the lovable socialist folk singer up to this for some reason? Consider the following:
[#1] He is one of very few people in the political world who can make Hillary seem younger and more
in touch with normal people. [#2] He is one of very few people in the political world who can
make Hillary's politics seem more moderate.
Can
the Democrats Get Rid of Hillary? Hillary has the Democratic Party where she wants it.
By scaring off every serious candidate, the party has no choice but to get behind her. And the more
it gets behind her, the more it's stuck with her. It's a bad marriage that the Democrats can't seem
to escape.
Hillary
Candidacy Doesn't Worry Me. I hope I'm not wrong; the country can't take four more years of the same disastrous
policies. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that Hillary appears to be the anointed candidate with virtually no one in
the party surfacing to challenge her for the nomination. If she was ever a good candidate, her time has clearly passed,
because the mythical image that she has invested so much energy cultivating for herself has mostly been shattered by reality.
Perhaps the main reason the Democratic Party can't come up with anyone to challenge her is that for six or seven years,
it has put all its eggs in the Obama basket.
This is why the Democratic
Establishment is still desperate to run Hillary Clinton. There are two things that we
know about the next election, more or less: first, the Democrats [are] tanking among white voters.
Second, black voters aren't going to come out for a non-black Presidential candidate with the same intensity
that they did for Barack Obama. Add those two together, and the end result looks very bad for the
Democratic party.
Hillary
Clinton Will Not Implode! Ultimately, she may lose the 2016 election, but she will
not lose the chance to be the Democratic nominee.
Hillary
Clinton is increasingly unpopular. It's not because of her e-mails. Not only is the
change from CNN's polling not statistically significant from two polls last year, it's also part of
a long-term trend. Clinton's numbers have been declining for some time, and the shift in the latest
poll is very much in line with what we would expect.
Looks
like Hillary doesn't really want it that much. Last time Clinton announced her
candidacy 22 months before the 2008 election, even before what's-his-name from Illinois. It's
now 20 months and she reportedly still hasn't decided when to pull the trigger. Gotta squeeze in a
few more big-buck-speeches. Gotta minimize chances of fumbling the ball, run out the clock.
Why
Won't Anyone Challenge Hillary? Many Democrats probably feel as if there's no other
viable choice. But despite the generous treatment she's received from the media, Hillary has
never been an especially electrifying or potent political power. She badly fumbled her first
preordained presidential nomination to Barack Obama — falling into every trap imaginable
along the way. Nearly every high-profile project she took on during her husband's
administration turned into a disaster. Her time as secretary of state is now riddled with
questions. And she has never effectively rallied grass-roots activists to her
cause — probably because her only real cause is Hillary.
Why
Are Democrats Stuck With Hillary? Blame Obama. The furor over Hillary Clinton's
private email account while Secretary of State, and her poor handling of the revelations, should be
a serious blow for her presidential ambitions. She broke or twisted the rules apparently to
hide her communications from the public. More broadly, it revived general concerns about her
likability and skill as a campaigner. Yet Clinton has no serious rivals for the nomination.
Let's
say Hillary's out in '16. Then what for Dems? Clinton's bid to capture her party's
next presidential nomination is as absolutely certain today as it was at this point in 2007. A
recent Rasmussen Reports poll found 75% of all likely voters and 88% of likely Democrat voters felt
it was "likely" she'd be the nominee in Philadelphia come late July, 2016. But given her campaign
careening from iceberg to iceberg in recent months, pollsters wonder about things that seem inevitable.
Democrats
Are Ready for Hillary and Stuck with Her. The good news was that after a week of
ominous and politically damaging silence, Hillary Clinton emerged to answer questions from the press
about her emails and demonstrated that she had no intention of letting this story deflect her from
her goal of winning the presidency. The bad news was that barely-suppressed rage about having to
answer those questions and arrogant "trust me" attitude not only failed to defuse this controversy,
it also raised serious questions as to whether she had the temperament to run a successful campaign
for the presidency. Taken together, it is more or less a perfect storm for a party seeking to hold
onto the White House next year without having Barack Obama on the top of the ticket.
'The
Only Person Who Could Beat Hillary Clinton Is Michelle Obama'. Was he serious? It
certainly wasn't obvious that conservative commentator Ben Domenech was kidding when on today's
[3/8/2015] Up With Steve Kornacki he said that "the only person I think who could beat
Hillary Clinton is Michelle Obama." Domenech's comment came during a segment on the subject of who
might jump into the race should Hillary decide not to run. The mere fact that there was such a
segment suggests that the controversy over Hillary's email might not be the much ado "about nothing"
that some claim.
Not
ready for Hillary Clinton. She's still the overwhelming poll favorite among Democrats,
but questions, for now just tiny butterflies in the tummy, are beginning to disturb the narrative so
carefully nurtured by the party faithful. Is she the strongest Democratic prospect on the horizon
because she's so terrific, or because the other prospects are so dreadful?
What
if Hillary Bows Out? Until now, Hillary Clinton's run for the presidency has been
viewed as pretty much a sure thing. But lately the road to near-certain nomination has taken a
couple of rough turns, especially with the revelation that Clinton may have broken federal rules as
secretary of state by communicating only on her private email account. Which makes us wonder:
What if The Unthinkable did happen and she actually dropped out? What would be the Democrats'
response?
No
Trust for Hillary on the Left. "It's Hillary's turn," say pundits. Others, scanning
the horizon, say, "Who else but Hillary?" Yet among the Democratic Party's activist left, Hillary
isn't a cinch. The left has suspicions about Hillary and those may persist and fester.
Democrats
suffering from Clinton fatigue say they're ready for Warren. Thirteen Iowa Democrats
wearily took their seats here [in Ames, Iowa] this weekend and discussed among themselves the source
of their angst: Hillary Rodham Clinton. "I'm utterly tired, tired of the Clintons and
the whole establishment," said Carol Brannon, 71, a retired nurse.
Hillary's
not looking so inevitable, after all. First of all, she has tons of baggage, including
a disastrous term as Secretary of State. Relations with Russia are in the tank, and there is that
picture of her with an idiot grin holding a "reset button" with her Russian counterpart. Then, there
is Benghazi, still ignored by the major media, but fodder for devastating ads to be used against her.
Beyond that, the entire Obama foreign policy has been a disaster, and she planted all of the seeds for it,
from the Arab Spring to the dissing of Israel.
Hillary's
poll numbers are collapsing. In just the past month, when no one with a real life was
thinking about the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton's massive poll lead over every single
potential Republican opponent has collapsed.
Obama's third term.
Personnel is policy, as the saying in Washington goes. That's why, when President Clinton's former
chief-of-staff John Podesta went to serve as an adviser to President Obama in the White House, it
hinted at continuity between the policies of two administrations led by two apparently very different
Democrats. It is therefore telling that Podesta plans to leave the White House in February so
he can help run Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. The campaign has not been officially
launched, but Podesta's move, announced Tuesday [1/13/2015], means we know something highly significant
about it. Assuming Clinton seeks the office her husband left in 2001, she will be running not only
for a third Clinton term, but also for a third Obama term.
Dem
Dilemma: Hillary "very old, slow" but Elizabeth Warren unelectable. Hillary is the
presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee. She has a large double-digit lead over other
potential contenders. The one thing Hillary doesn't have, however, is grassroots enthusiasm. Her
support as the presumptive nominee is a mile wide and an inch deep. She's popular because of name
recognition and organizational power. No one wants to be on Bill and Hillary's enemies list.
The Editor says...
That's because people of the Clintons' enemies list sometimes end up
like Vince Foster.
Why
Hillary's walk to the Democratic nation is a sign of the party's weakness. [A]ccording
to the latest CNN poll, Hillary is 55 points ahead — yes, I said 55 points
ahead — of her closest rival. She gets 65 percent to Sen. Elizabeth Warren's
10 percent. We've never seen numbers like this for any putative presidential candidate before.
The
tricky Obama-Clinton handoff begins. As the presumptive Democratic front-runner in 2016, Hillary Rodham Clinton has many of
the same goals as President Obama, starting with reassembling and reenergizing the coalition responsible for Obama's victories in 2008 and
2012. But if she becomes the nominee, Clinton will have to unlink herself from Obama while positioning herself to inherit the bloc
of young people and minorities that helped put Obama in the White House.
Don't
believe the hype — Hillary Clinton can be beat. The accumulating evidence that the
Democratic Party is an exhausted volcano includes its fixation with stale ideas, such as the supreme
importance of a 23rd increase in the minimum wage. Can this party be so blinkered by the modest
success of its third recent presidency, Bill Clinton's, that it will sleepwalk into the next election
behind Hillary Clinton?
Hillary
mocked by Rand Paul after almost every Democrat she campaigned with LOST in midterms.
Tuesday night's [11/4/2014] victory for the Republicans wasn't just a blow to President Barack
Obama — it was also a knock on Hillary Clinton, who campaigned for almost all of the candidates who lost
Democratic US Senate seats on Tuesday. And Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, a likely challenger to
Clinton in the 2016 presidential race, isn't letting her forget that she backed the wrong horses in 2014.
Obviously an audience plant. Who can sneak into an event like that with a bullhorn? Hillary Clinton gets heckled.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton isn't officially running for president but she's already
attracting one of the regular features of the campaign trail: hecklers. During an address to the
annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics Sunday [10/12/2014] in San Diego, someone in the 3,000
person crowd began to goad her using a bullhorn.
Clintonphobia:
Why No Democrat Wants to Run Against Hillary. There are plenty of ambitious but
little-known Democratic governors or senators who are a decade or two younger than Clinton. So why
aren't more of them considering a presidential campaign that might set them up to be Clinton's successor?
The answer speaks to one of Clinton's underappreciated assets: her ability to instill fear.
Hillary
Clinton's air of 'inevitability' evaporating. Hillary Clinton needs a conscience
transplant, and she needs it now. Her book tour is in a shambles, the fate of her $14 million
advance from her publisher is marooned somewhere in limbo. She's under 50 percent approval for the
first time in the presidential polling for 2016, and, scariest of all, she's having to call on
Bubba for help. She knows better than to become merely "a wife of," but 2014 is beginning
to smell like 2008, and she's Miss Inevitability once more.
Hillary Clinton
is Humpty Dumpty. If Hillary Clinton runs for President, she's still the odds-on
favorite because she has the Democratic machine behind her. The conventional wisdom is that the
nomination is Hillary's to lose. If Hillary's disastrous book rollout and tone-deafness about her
wealth are any indication, Hillary might just accomplish the unthinkable of imploding a second time
as presumptive nominee. Hillary's worst enemy is Hillary. There's only so long you can
pretend to be something you are not.
Elizabeth
Warren crouches in the not-running tall grass as Hillary flounders. I am rapidly
coming to the preliminary conclusion that Elizabeth Warren will be the Democrats' 2016 standard
bearer. Hillary Clinton is just too unlikable (remember that Barack Obama called her "likable
enough" in one of the most memorable back handed compliments of recent political memory), and too
transparently greedy, self-serving, and out of touch. Not to mention the appalling foreign affairs
crises the United States faces in the wake of her term as Secretary of State. Her brand is tarnished.
You would think that the most obvious "anti-Hillary
group" would be the Republican Party. Anti-Hillary
Group Brings in Half a Million Dollars. It's not just pro-Hillary Clinton super
PACs that are gearing up for a potential presidential run. The Stop Hillary PAC brought in more than
half a million dollars and signed up 250,000 supporters since it started last summer, according to
its spokesperson.
Elizabeth
Warren would crush Hillary, and they both know it. Forget the current polling as
between Hillary and Elizabeth Warren. It pits Hillary against someone who "isn't running."
For all my criticisms of Warren, and they are extensive, I am convinced that if she ran, she would crush
Hillary, just as Obama did. Warren, as did Obama, has a unique ability to demagogue the core
Democratic narrative of victimhood in ways that would make Hillary blush. She is more cunning than
Hillary, more popular with the base, would bring an excitement the contrived Ready-for-Hillary
movement could only dream of. Democrats may be "ready" for Hillary, but they don't really want her.
The Bigger They Are. This week's Fox News
poll has Clinton's favorable rating at its lowest point in six years. She is at 49 percent favorable, 45 percent
unfavorable — similar to her 47 percent favorable, 46 percent unfavorable rating when she ended her last
presidential campaign. More important than the individual results, however, is the trend. Since leaving office as
secretary of state, Clinton's favorable rating has been on a downward trajectory.
Hillary
Clinton pretends to be above excessive partisanship. Let's assume that Hillary Clinton was serious
the other day when she said that excessive partisanship was taking America "backwards." That means she's on
the phone right now reading the riot act to fellow Democrats Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer. Yeah, right.
Clinton's pose of rising above the political scrum made for a good headline just as her party is plumbing new depths
of mud and smears. Reid and Schumer are tarring David and Charles Koch in ways that smack of McCarthyism,
though Tail Gunner Joe at least found a few real Communists.
Since 1988, we've been offered this choice in every presidential
election: A centrist versus a leftist. 2016: Clinton vs. Christie? If there were any doubts
that the former secretary of state plans to run for president, they were put to rest when she and Obama had lunch on the patio outside the Oval Office
on Monday. The White House photographer, Chuck Kennedy, took pictures of the tete-a-tete that were immediately beamed around the world, sending
a clear message that the Clintons were gearing up to take back the presidency — and that maybe Obama was ready to help them do that.
What if Hillary Clinton passes on 2016?
The hope of retaining the White House in an open-seat election is very real — and the letdown that will set in among Democratic activists and
operatives will be very deep if Clinton takes a pass on a campaign, as she may well do.
The Hillary Clinton 2016 fantasy.
You have to wonder if there's already a committee planning Hillary Clinton's presidential inauguration festivities for 20 January
2017. According to the political rumor mill, she's not only running, she's unbeatable.
Hillary Super PAC fundraiser linked
to Soros, Media Matters. A founding member of the Ready for Hillary PAC's Finance Council is a member of George Soros' progressive donor
network, The Democracy Alliance, and has links to controversial progressive organizations Media Matters for America and the Tides Foundation. San
Francisco environmentalist Susie Tompkins Buell is one of the key founding members of the Finance Council for Ready for Hillary, a super PAC that hopes
to build a strong coalition of donors and online supporters in preparation for Hillary Clinton's expected 2016 presidential campaign.
Hillary's Children are 'Too Small to Fail'.
It's not news that shameless, self-promoting know-it-all Hillary Clinton has been champing at the bit for 40 years to assume the role
of Big Kahuna. After failing miserably as Barack Obama's secretary of state, now Ms. Hill is gearing up for another presidential run
in 2016, when, instead of explaining what happened in Benghazi, she plans to divert attention by feigning concern for small children.
Nightmare scenario for the Democrats.
What if Hillary Clinton chooses not to run, or for some reason is not able to run? After such a deep emotional investment in a Hillary candidacy, do
Democrats have a Plan B? If by Plan B you mean a two-time presidential loser and lifetime Washington player, then the answer is yes.
The Democrats have Vice President Joe Biden.
Democrats start transition from President Obama to
Hillary Clinton. Democrats in Washington are starting to shift from the Obamas to the Clintons. Hillary Clinton has already
racked up a couple of endorsements for the 2016 presidential race — and she hasn't even announced she's running yet.
Hillary 2016 — What difference
does it make? The Clintons are getting the old band back together again for one last geriatric tour. Hillary 2016.
Because 22 years of Clintons dominating the Beltway isn't enough.
Nancy Pelosi: 'I pray' Hillary Clinton
runs for president. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday [5/2/2013] at an event in Little Rock, Ark., that she prays former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will run for president, saying it would send a powerful message to women in the world.
A vast left-wing conspiracy against Bernie Sanders:
Barack
Obama Has Now Been President Longer than FDR. For anyone with eyes to see, the current presidency is being run
by Barack Obama. Even before this presidency began, its roots were laid in Obama's home in Washington. Over the
past couple of years, Obama House was the royal court for receiving, selecting, and anointing the party's standard-bearer for
2020. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris were Obama's favored candidates, and Obama House functioned as the campaign war
room. But Harris gained no traction, and she dropped out of the race on December 3, 2019, exactly two months before the
Iowa caucuses. That left Warren — to face off against Bernie Sanders in the left-wing bracket of the
sweepstakes. The party had already determined, four years earlier, that Sanders was unsuitable as its standard-bearer,
because he wielded an abrasive, in-your-face style of Marxism. Obama himself expressed such sentiments more than
once. So the party scuppered his campaign in 2016. But in 2020, Sanders was bettering Warren in the early
primaries. So, the Obama camp had to go to plan B — find somebody who was "presentable" to the public.
The
Background of the "Harris-Biden" Ticket. The Black Grievance Industry (BGI) is an assembly of two larger
groups. Group-one is the Black Lives Matter group, modern and extremist. Group-two is the AME church network,
more traditional and with a larger network. The BLM group originated during the terms of the Obama
administration. The AME network has existed for many decades before. [...] Immediately before the South Carolina
primary, Barack Obama (BLM network) and the traditional racial apparatus (AME network) realized they were about to lose
control to Bernie Sanders. Their response was to quickly coordinate a club move to swing the election away from the
Sanders camp. An urgent assembly of all party control officers was called. The power brokers within the DNC Club
designed a plan around using James Clyburn (AME network) as the official spark for Joe Biden to take back control of the
primary outcome. Former President Obama contacted all candidates and informed them when and how they would quit the
race and fall-in-line behind Joe Biden. James Clyburn was then triggered to initiate his endorsement and begin the
rapid-fire process. Within 48 hours all members of the club and candidates had their instructions and proceeded to
follow-through on the plan. They had no choice. If they did not comply they would suffer the consequences of a
fully aligned club hierarchy who would target them personally and financially. The plan worked flawlessly.
Obama
Warned He Would Intervene To Stop Bernie Sanders: Report. Former President Barack Obama once warned he
would step in to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders from securing the Democratic presidential nomination, according to a new
report. Obama reportedly vowed to speak out against the Vermont socialist Sanders if it appeared as if he could
actually win, Politico reported.
Obama
warned he would intervene to stop Bernie, had cutting words for Biden: report. Former President Barack Obama
once warned he would intervene to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., from winning the Democratic presidential nomination,
according to a new report that sheds light on Obama's personal views of the jam-packed primary field with no clear
front-runner. Obama has largely stayed on the sidelines to date, refraining from any endorsements though he has issued
general warnings to the party to avoid calls for radical upheaval in their policy pitches. These warnings were seen as
a swipe at candidates like Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sanders. But a new Politico Magazine report gives
a clearer picture of what Obama is worried about — claiming he has said in private he'd speak out against Sanders
if it looked like he could actually win.
CrowdStrike and the Impeachment
Frenzy. On June 12, 2016, WikiLeaks announced that it would soon release stolen computer files that pertained
to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Two days later, CrowdStrike, which was working for the DNC, announced that
it had detected Russian malware on the DNC's computer server. The next day, a self-described Romanian hacker, Guccifer
2.0, claimed he was a WikiLeaks source and had hacked the DNC's server. He then posted online DNC computer files that
contained metadata that indicated Russian involvement in the hack. On July 22, 2016, just days before the Democratic
National Convention, WikiLeaks published approximately 20,000 DNC emails. Much to the embarrassment of Hillary Clinton,
the released files showed that the DNC had secretly collaborated with her campaign to promote her candidacy for the Democratic
presidential nomination over that of Bernie Sanders. This caused the Clinton campaign serious political damage at the
Democratic convention.
Is
This What Bernie Sanders Did On His 1988 'Honeymoon' To The USSR? Despite endless stories about his 2016
campaign being a den of sexism and sexual harassment, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is definitely running for
president. When Sen. Sanders was confronted with these details, he pretty much said he was too busy running for
president, and by that, he means losing to Hillary, to address the crisis. Yeah, not the best answer, Bernie.
Still, you're pretty far left, though I think the Democratic base probably liked you because you were a left-wing alternative
to Hillary in 2016. Now, we have oodles of left-wingers to fill that void, who are younger, female, and are people of
color. You're an old, white dude. That breed is not popular with Democrats who bean count how many blacks, Jews,
Asians, gays, females, transgendered people, and non-binaries are in a room before they can feel whether they're comfortable
or not. If there are a majority of whites, it's problematic.
What Do Serial
Killers and the Left Have in Common? The Left plotted every single detail of its 2016 victory years before the
campaign began. Hillary Clinton herself had been running for president since she was a teenage disciple of none other
than Saul Alinsky. Everyone from progressive billionaires, like George Soros, to even more unsavory groups (like
corporations and individuals affiliated with Saudi, Russian, and Chinese intelligence) "donated" to the Clinton family slush
fund (or, excuse me, the Clinton Global Initiative) in order to curry favor with the woman who the entire world assumed would
be president. Going into 2016, no competition to Hillary's candidacy from within the Democratic Party could be brooked.
Thus, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the DNC establishment manipulated and abused their own party's bizarre primary process to rig
the Democratic primaries in favor of Hillary Clinton. The global elite believed it had everything prepared for not only
finalizing its capture of America's elite institutions, but also for cashing out on the massive giveaways that would have
occurred under Hillary Clinton.
The
Democrats' IT Scandal Cover-Up. Former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz subverted our democracy and
interfered in the 2016 election in ways Moscow could only dream of, yet while Special Counsel Robert Mueller continues to
chase Russian phantoms, the case against Wasserman Schultz and Imran Awan, the IT director she and other Congressional
Democrats employed, continues to drag on despite overwhelming evidence of criminality and clear national security
implications. Schultz was forced to step down after hacked emails revealed that she and the DNC had their finger on the
scales and actively worked to defeat Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primaries in favor of Hillary Clinton.
Bid
to block Bernie Sanders? DNC adopts rule change, wants only avowed Democrats to run. The Democratic
National Committee adopted a new rule Friday aimed at preventing non-Democrats, such as independent U.S. Sen. Bernie
Sanders of Vermont, from seeking the party's 2020 presidential nomination, reports said. The rule change, adopted at a
DNC meeting in Providence, R.I., requires all candidates for the party's nomination to "run and serve" as Democrats, Yahoo
News reported. Some supporters of Sanders — who caucuses with the Democrats despite declining to declare a
party affiliation — say the move was motivated by "spite" after Sanders gave Hillary Clinton a run for her money
during the Democratic primaries in 2016.
NBC
Reporter: Bill Clinton Told Tom Perez to Not Let the Party Go to Bernie Folks. NBC News national
political reporter Jonathan Allen said on C-SPAN Thursday that former President Bill Clinton told Democratic National
Committee Chairman Tom Perez to not let Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I., Vt.) supporters become powerful in the party.
Allen is the author of Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign and wrote a book about Clinton's work as
secretary of state in 2014. "The DNC is unpopular with its own base," Allen said. "Roughly half the Democratic
Party felt like the DNC was unfairly tipping the scales in the last presidential election trying to get Hillary Clinton
nominated trying to hurt Bernie Sanders."
Stuck on Stupid.
They began when they selected Hillary Clinton as the heiress apparent. She would get the same billing as Barack.
Smartest woman in the world. Most qualified, experienced candidate ever. They should have known they had a
problem on their hands when she couldn't beat Bernie Sanders in any of the early primaries. The man was a full-bore,
advertised socialist with the platform of Hugo Chávez. He was 73, looked like it, acted like it, and the majority
of Democratic Party primary voters supported him. Their voters were with him, not her. It was the hint of hints
that she couldn't pull it off. So, rather than realize she was a bad candidate, they took Bernie out. With the
DNC, they took him out. Super-delegates. It was rigged. And they did it in plain sight.
The
Democrats' Unforced Errors. The good news for us conservatives and Republicans — even in
California — is that the progressive Democrats are not anywhere near as smart as they tell us they are. [...] In
2016, the Democrats rigged their own primary to run an aging, feeble, sickly and unlikeable candidate that they themselves
didn't really want, whom they nevertheless convinced themselves was inevitable and unbeatable.
La
Donna Brazile Sings, on and off Key. The questions of ethics aside, the agreement allowed Clinton to influence
or control the party long before she became its official nominee. This factor is related to a second issue: the serious
question of the rigging of the election in the Democratic primaries. On this Brazile has been ambivalent, even
contradictory, stating on November 5, 2017 that she had found no evidence of the party primaries being rigged in favor of
Hillary. Yet, in July 2016, she started looking for evidence that rigging had taken place — and found
some. As a result, Donna replaced Debbie W.S. after emails showed she was working to help Hillary and deny Sanders
the nomination. This rigging may not have been a criminal act, but it compromised the integrity of the Democratic Party,
since it broke the rule that the party would stay neutral until a nominee had been chosen by vote.
Did
Russian money make Hillary's takeover of the DNC possible? As one reads the wretched news of how Hillary
Clinton came to take over the Democratic Party and snatch the nomination from rival Bernie Sanders, in the memoirs of former
DNC acting chair Donna Brazile, it's striking how the central persuading dynamic of it is money. [...] Basically, Clinton
bought her way to access to power because she had more money than Bernie Sanders did. Bernie's smalltime donor-based
money pile proved to be no match for Hillary's kookabucks. The millions and millions she had from her pay to play
operations that moved through her foundation and were so irregular of bookkeeping control that no philanthropy rating agency
would rate them. Most of the foundation's work went to personal expenses, which could mean anything. Including,
quite possibly, campaign finance and bailing out the DNC. Which is why, as [Fox News' Greg] Jarrett points out, a Special
Counsel ought to be named, targeting her activities.
DNC
gave Clinton control over campaign well before it was supposed to: docs. The 2015 deal between Hillary Clinton
and the Democratic National Committee in which the group effectively ceded immediate control to the Clinton campaign was
supposed to take effect only if Clinton won the primary process — but in effect, they gave her control well before
that, according to a copy of the agreement published this weekend. The publishing of the agreement this weekend follows
former DNC interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile's bombshell accusation Thursday that the party's 2016 presidential primary
contest between Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders was rigged by the DNC to hand the nomination to Clinton.
Hillary
Clinton Meets the Underside of the Bus. All is fair in love, war, and politics. This is demonstrated time
and time again, yet for a superfluity of reasons, this week's unprincipled, spineless Democratic Party SOP hit job is
especially extraordinary, considering the sheer scope of this target, and what it says about the two-faced, lying, conniving,
calculating former colleagues and sycophants having participated. Think about the unblushing shamelessness of which
Donna Brazile has just shown herself capable. Even to conservatives watching this liberal-on-liberal, very public, very
blatant power-grab, it might appear unusually savage. Donna Brazile came out so suddenly and conspicuously against
Clinton with charges of "hijacking" the DNC for her own sake, at the cost of many by robbing the DNC of all its wealth;
rigging the democratic process; and stealing the election from Bernie Sanders.
Why
Is the Mueller Investigation like the Schleswig-Holstein Question? [Former DNC head Donna] Brazile charged that
the DNC was nearly bankrupted by Obama and was saved only by cash infusions from Hillary Clinton, but in return for the
lifeline, Clinton took control of the party and used that power to cheat Bernie Sanders out of the nomination. More,
Brazile argued that the victory fund which was to be used to fund party races down ticket was instead grabbed by Hillary for
her own campaign, with very little dribbled out to other candidates.
Did
Hillary's rigging at the DNC push Biden out of the race? The stunning revelation by longtime operative Donna
Brazile that the Hillary Clinton campaign secretly took control — literal control — of the Democratic
National Committee a year before Hillary became the party's nominee is the talk of American politics. As it should
be. Brazile's piece in Politico describes her shock at the discovery of formal legal paperwork between the two entities
when she took the reins at the DNC in August 2016. Brazile had been tapped for the job when DNC chair Debbie Wasserman
Schultz was forced to resign. Leaked emails had shown how Schultz had been putting her finger on the scale to help
Clinton while the insurgent Bernie Sanders campaign was making a serious bid to seize the party nomination away from New
York's favorite carpetbagger.
Donna
Brazile allegations highlight mounting schism within DNC. Still reeling from Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald
Trump in last year's presidential election and wondering how to move forward, the schism within the Democratic Party appears
to have widened even more in the wake of the bombshell claims made Thursday by a former interim party boss. The
allegations by Donna Brazile not only asserted that the Democratic National Committee helped rig last year's presidential
primary in favor of Clinton over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, but also raised a number of troubling questions as the
party attempts to regroup ahead of next year's midterm elections.
Hillary
Clinton Given 'Democratic Woman of the Year Award' on Same Day It's Revealed She Rigged the 2016 Democratic Primaries. Hillary
Clinton was awarded "the 2017 Democratic Woman of the Year Award" Thursday [11/2/2017], as an explosive tell-all about how she secretly took
over the DNC to rig the 2016 primaries rocked the political world. The award was given by the Woman's National Democratic Club in
recognition of Clinton's "extraordinary contributions to American politics and international affairs, as well as the inspiration she has
provided to women and girls around the world."
Wolf
Blitzer: 'Shocking' Hillary Rigged DNC. CNN's Wolf Blitzer said Thursday that it's "shocking" that Hillary
Clinton rigged the Democratic National Committee to secure her own presidential nomination. Of course, Bernie Sanders
supporters have long alleged that the primary was rigged in favor of Hillary Clinton, and former DNC chair Donna
Brazile — who finally revealed the rigging — was at one point caught feeding debate questions to
Clinton. In an interview with Democratic Indiana Rep. Andre Carson, Blitzer contended that it's a "shocking
revelation" that Clinton essentially bought off the DNC in exchange for control of the party's finances and strategy.
Donna
Brazile: Everything Said About Clinton's Control Over DNC Was True. Former interim DNC Chairwoman Donna
Brazile has penned an article in Politico laying out brutal sunlight upon the Clinton control over the DNC and how the party
apparatus was used by the Clinton campaign in the 2016 election. Essentially, every complaint held by Bernie Sanders
and his supporters is confirmed.
Better stay away from Fort Marcy Park, Donna. Ex-DNC
chair reveals how Clinton 'rigged' Dem primary. Donna Brazile, former interim chair of the Democratic National
Committee, said Hillary Clinton gained control of the political party before she won the presidential nomination in an effort
to squeeze out Bernie Sanders. She began investigating whether Clinton "rigged the nomination process" as emails hacked
from the DNC and published by WikiLeaks last year had suggested, she said in an except of her new book coming out next week
that appeared Thursday [11/2/2017] in Politico. Brazile said she eventually discovered that Clinton had entered into a
secret agreement with the Hillary Victory Fund, Hillary for America and the cash-strapped DNC that in exchange for raising
funds, Clinton "would control the party's finances, strategy, and all the money raised."
Sanders
Campaign: You Wanna Talk About A Rigged Primary? Donna Brazile has truly stirred up a hornet's nest with her new book
release. After her initial accusations of how the DNC had rigged the primary — somehow without her knowledge despite being
high up in the power structure — the accusations began flying in both directions inside the Democrats' camp. The Joint
Funding Agreement (JFA) between Hillary Clinton and the DNC was clearly more than the usual revenue-sharing deal, a point which Ed Morrissey
made earlier today [11/4/2017]. We're left with the impression that a lot of people inside the Democratic National Committee are saying
something was rigged, but nobody is taking responsibility for it or agreeing just how it all came about.
Trust
Donna Brazile, Democrats: You're better off without Clinton and Obama. Donna Brazile called
Sen. Bernie Sanders in September 2016 in her capacity as interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
She had some bad news for him, although we use the word "news" loosely here, for what she told him had been obvious for a
long time; the presidential primary had been rigged against him to help Hillary Clinton win. What was new, was that
there was not just an informal collusion between those who ran the party, but a formal cash-for-power agreement that made the
DNC a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clinton's presidential campaign.
Hillary
Clinton Merits a Special Counsel. The revelation that both the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign were funneling money
through a law firm to Fusion GPS to produce a slimy and fake dossier on Trump culled from foreign sources was bad enough. Now we
find, courtesy of the one truthful and remorseful Democrat on this planet, former DNC Chairperson Donna Brazile, that the DNC was bought
and paid for by Hillary Clinton, who probably violated multiple FEC campaign laws in rigging the primaries against Bernie Sanders and
shifted cash around in a manner that could only be called — what's the word Robert Mueller would use? Ah, yes, money-laundering:
In an excerpt from her upcoming book, Brazile says she discovered a document that explained why the Clinton campaign had such a stranglehold
on the DNC.
Disgraced
Democratic Party boss Debbie Wasserman Schultz doesn't deny taking part in Hillary's coup to rig primaries against Bernie.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has responded to a searing critique running the Democrat National Committee, saying she is 'proud' of
her controversial tenure but failing to address claims she essentially handed over the party to Hillary Clinton. The former DNC
chair issued a statement after her successor, interim chair Donna Brazile, released a book excerpt where she said Wasserman Schultz was
'not a good manager' and allowed Clinton to virtually take over the party even before she captured the nomination. 'It was a
tremendous honor to be asked by President Obama to serve as chair of the DNC,' the Florida Democrat said in a statement reported by MSNBC.
Dems,
Journos Denied Dem Primary Rigging For Clinton. A lot of people are eating their words now that ex-DNC chair
Donna Brazile is saying she has "proof" that Hillary Clinton rigged the 2016 Democratic primary in her favor. Bernie
Sanders and his supporters long alleged that the DNC was giving Clinton an unfair advantage in the primary race, although
Sanders never went as far to call the race "rigged." Brazile has now revealed that there was a financial scheme between
Clinton and the DNC that gave her nearly full control of the organization. Some journalists and Democrats now look
awfully silly because they vehemently denied any election rigging and even laughed at people who believed it was possible.
Dems
fear lasting damage from Clinton-Sanders fight. Democrats are worried that the fight between former
presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is doing lasting damage to their party. As
the bickering between the former rivals grows more intense, Democrats say it needs to end. "It reiterates that our
party is still led by people with fatal flaws," said one former senior Obama administration official. Another former
Obama official added, "It's like watching two children bickering."
Will
special counsel Mueller examine the DNC server, source of the great Russiagate caper? On June 12, 2016,
WikiLeaks announced that it would soon release stolen computer files that pertained to Hillary Clinton's presidential
campaign. Two days later, CrowdStrike, a computer security company working for the Democratic National Committee,
announced that it had detected Russian malware on the DNC's computer server. The next day, a self-described Romanian
hacker, Guccifer 2.0, claimed he was a WikiLeaks source and had hacked the DNC's server. He then posted online DNC
computer files that contained metadata that indicated Russian involvement in the hack. Much to the embarrassment of
Hillary Clinton, the released files showed that the DNC had secretly collaborated with her campaign to promote her candidacy
for the Democratic presidential nomination over that of Bernie Sanders. Clearly, the Clinton campaign needed to lessen
the political damage.
Wasserman
Schultz Subverted Democracy. Democrats (from the party that thinks the Electoral College is undemocratic but
that unelected super delegates representing party bosses are just fine) forget how former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz
tipped the scales for Hillary Clinton over a surging Bernie Sanders. She interfered in the 2016 election in ways that
Vladimir Putin couldn't even dream of and arguably changed at least the Democratic Party results and campaign timeline.
Russia?
No, It was the Democrats and their Rogue IT Staffers Who Subverted Our Democracy. Democrats are the party that
think the electoral college is undemocratic but that unelected super-delegates representing party bosses are just fine.
They have already forgotten how former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz tipped the scales for Hillary Clinton over a surging
Bernie Sanders. She interfered in the 2016 election in ways Vladimir Putin couldn't even dream of and arguably changed
at least the Democratic Party results and campaign timeline. In all the discussions of the Russians or their operatives
hacking into the DNC and exposing the emails documenting DNC corruption and collusion with a single candidate, Hillary
Clinton, the content of those emails are shoved aside. The emails documenting subversion of our democracy by Democrats,
revealed by Wikileaks, were written by Democrats, not Vladimir Putin.
Was
Hillary Clinton's Nomination Legitimate? Six Reasons to Say No. Democrats are consoling themselves by
claiming Donald Trump's election is illegitimate, but they'll do themselves and the nation a favor if they consider their
own faults — including the top-to-bottom corruption in their own party and political strategy.
The
Democrats' rigged primary. Democrats should begin by accepting the obvious truth of a rigged primary revealed
by WikiLeaks. The party's key leaders — not the party's voters — picked and promoted Hillary
Clinton, meaning she was secretly coronated before the primary ever began. Her rival Bernie Sanders never had a
chance. The "nomination" contest was theater designed to make Sanders voters accept Clinton. His voters ought to
be furious at Sanders for playing along with this farce, which he most certainly did.
David
Brock Finally Apologizes To Bernie Sanders In Desperate Open Letter. Hillary Clinton attack dog David Brock is
desperate to cling to power in the progressive movement, and so he has issued an open letter to Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders apologizing for his dirty actions during the presidential campaign. "Looking back, I recognize that there were
a few moments when my drive to put Hillary in the White House led me to take too stiff a jab. I own up to that, I
regret it, and I apologize to you and your supporters for it," Brock, who operated the pro-Clinton super PAC Correct the
Record, wrote in a letter on Medium. During the Democratic primaries, Brock did the dirty work that the Clinton
campaign largely avoided by going after Sanders' health and by comparing him to various radical leftists.
The
Real Clinton Conspiracy that Backfired — The Worst Candiate in American History. This conspiracy has
emerged from the Podesta emails. It was Clinton conspiring with mainstream media to elevate Trump and then tear him
down. We have to now look at all the media who endorsed Hillary as simply corrupt. Simultaneously, Hillary said
that Bernie had to be ground down to the pulp. Further leaked emails showed how the Democratic National Committee
sabotaged Sanders' presidential campaign. It was Hillary manipulating the entire media for her personal gain. She
obviously did not want a fair election because she was too corrupt.
Emails
show Sanders made peace 'agreement' with Clinton. Bernie Sanders' insurgent primary battle against Hillary
Clinton may have been just an act, leaked e-mails reveal. A May 26, 2015, memo — among a batch hacked from
Clinton campaign chair John Podesta and newly released by WikiLeaks — cites an "agreement" between Sanders and
Clinton that should have kept the Vermont senator from criticizing her wealth.
Rigged
System: Hillary Had 'Agreement' Preventing Bernie from Criticizing Her. Emails released by WikiLeaks
reveal that the Hillary Clinton campaign had an "agreement" with the Bernie Sanders campaign to prevent Sanders from
criticizing Clinton. The nature of the Clinton-Sanders "agreement" becomes clear in a May 2015 email chain, which
occurred at just the time that Sanders was announcing his candidacy. The email chain makes clear that Clinton and
Sanders had a no-punching agreement right from the get-go.
Hillary Clinton's
Top 17 Scandals and Controversies. [#17] DNC Rigging the Primary Election to Ensure Hillary Won the DNC
Presidential Nomination: Bernie Sanders never had a chance to win the Democratic primary nomination. The DNC made
sure that she was "elected the next President of the United States". Donna Brazile leaked Bernie information to the
Hillary Campaign, and trying to manipulate former Bernie supporters to work for Hillary. The DNC has spent the entire
election rigging and manipulating the system so that Hillary has a free walk to the presidency.
'Where
would you stick the knife?': Podesta, operative planned to 'crush' Sanders. Hillary Clinton Campaign Chairman
John Podesta agreed "in principle" with a party operative's assertion that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders needed "to be
ground to a pulp" early in the Democratic presidential primary, according to emails released Thursday by WikiLeaks.
Communications strategist Joel Johnson advised Podesta to "crush [Sanders] as hard as you can" in a Feb. 21 email that came
on the heels of Clinton's Feb. 20 win in the Nevada caucus. "I agree with that in principle," Podesta responded.
"Where would you stick the knife in?"
8
Times Liberals Claimed An Election Was Stolen Or Rigged. [#1] Labor Union Leader Roseann Demoro: The
national vice president of the AFL-CIO wrote an article for Salon in which she explained how the Democratic Party primary
was "rigged from the start." She explained the debate times, media bias, and vote rigging were what kept Bernie
Sanders from clinching the Democratic nomination for president. Demoro also claimed Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid
met with casino owners where many caucuses were being held, in order to tamper with the election process. "The Nevada
caucuses were then rigged with massive voting irregularities such as casino owners orchestrating which workers would be
allowed to vote and, in clear intimidation, openly monitoring how they voted," she wrote.
DNC
Stoops To New Low In Fraud Lawsuit Filed By Bernie Backers. The DNC just reached a new low with its latest
defensive filing in the class action lawsuit brought by a group of Bernie Sanders supporters. To recap: a group of
plaintiff donors to the Sanders campaign sued the Democratic National Committee ("DNC") and Debbie Wasserman Schultz in
federal court in Florida. The lawsuit alleges that the DNC's favoritism of Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders amounted
to fraud, misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, and negligence. The plaintiffs have pointed
to damning evidence in the shape of emails posted by Wikileaks proving that the Democratic Party was working against Bernie
Sanders from the start.
Podesta Emails reveal
more contempt for Sanders. The 11th tranche of emails from John Podesta has been released by WikiLeaks.
The batch includes discussion around Clinton's potential vice presidential candidates and further evidence of contempt for
Bernie Sanders within the campaign. It's understood this leak comprises almost 2,000 emails, of a total of 50,000 from
Hillary Clinton's campaign chair which the whistleblowing website claims to possess.
WikiLeaks
Reveals Clinton Campaign Boss Wrote Anti-Sanders Hit Piece. [Scroll down] When the Clinton campaign wrote
an op-ed on gun violence to post on Medium, the team strategized to determine who they would use as an author in order to
maximize the public relations benefits it would yield Hillary Clinton while criticizing Bernie Sanders.
WikiLeaks'
Podesta email release reveals massive Clinton 'hits' file on Sanders. Hillary Clinton's campaign purportedly
compiled a massive "hits" file on Democratic primary opponent Bernie Sanders, calling into question his "progressive bona
fides" on issues ranging from labor to guns to Wall Street, according to a new trove of emails posted by WikiLeaks. The
71-page, nearly 50,000-word document was released Monday as the second installment in WikiLeaks' dump of Clinton Campaign
Chairman John Podesta's alleged emails.
The
Clinton campaign had 71 pages of 'hits' ready to be deployed against Bernie Sanders hacked emails show. Hillary
Clinton's campaign prepared 71 pages of 'hits' against Bernie Sanders to be used against the Vermont senator in the debates
last fall and into the Democratic primary contests. [...] The documents show that the Clinton campaign was ready to wage some
policy-heavy attacks against the U.S. senator, from floating that he's not as union friendly as he seems, to pointing out
that he voted for legislation that exempted regulation of credit default swaps and derivatives.
Leaked
Podesta Emails Show Bernie Was Right. The statements by Clinton, which were gleaned from documents that have yet to be
authenticated by The Daily Beast, were made in private settings to big banks and Wall Street firms. The speeches appear to paint
her in the worst possible light: two-faced, out of touch, secretive and subservient to Wall Street. And in the most explicit
way possible, validate Bernie Sanders' criticisms of her during the Democratic primary.
Dear
Hillary: DNC Hack Solved, So Now Stop Blaming Russia. This new email scandal is the Wikileaks release of
a gaggle of DNC emails that prove the Democrat primary race was rigged in establishment Hillary's favor. She's tried to
make herself the victim once again, blaming the Russians and — bizarrely — Donald Trump for the hack
that set the emails free. I have some news for Hillary and Democrats — I think I've got the real culprit.
It doesn't seem to be the Russians that hacked the DNC, but instead a hacker who goes by the name of Guccifer 2.0.
It's
Obama's Fault Russia Is Now A Major Threat. Just as the Democratic convention in Philadelphia was being gaveled
in last week, leaders of that party were exposed, through the hostile act of Russian cyber-espionage (and their partners at
Wikileaks), to have worked to ensure Clinton had the backing of the Democratic National Committee throughout her fight with
Bernie Sanders for the party's nomination. While the now-marooned inhabitants of Bernieland were appalled at this,
anyone without a Pollyanna view of politics really wasn't that surprised the DNC of 2016 was hell-bent on catapulting a
Pantsuit through the glass ceiling.
DNC
CEO resigns in fallout over leaked emails. Democratic National Committee chief executive Amy Dacey reportedly
resigned from her position Tuesday over controversial leaked emails that appear to show the committee favored Hillary Clinton
over Bernie Sanders. Sources told Politico Tuesday [8/2/2016] that Dacey was on her way out, and that more DNC employees
will likely follow as the Democrats may attempt to clean house.
DNC
CEO resigns in wake of email scandal. The CEO of the Democratic National Committee and two other high-level
staffers left the organization on Tuesday [8/2/2016] in the wake of the committee's hacked email controversy. Amy Dacey
is the highest-ranking official at the DNC to step aside due to the matter, a senior Democratic official said. The DNC
also announced the departure of CFO Brad Marshall and and Communications Director Luis Miranda in a press release Tuesday
afternoon. Dacey is well-respected by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC circle, a source familiar with the
resignation said. But the committee is looking to clean house in the wake of leaked emails that appeared to show the
committee favoring Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the primary.
CEO of Democratic
National Committee Quits. The chief executive of the Democratic National Committee has resigned in the wake of
an email hack that embarrassed the party on the eve of its presidential nominating convention. That's according to
three Democratic strategists familiar with Amy Dacey's decision to leave her job. The people spoke on condition of
anonymity, because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.
Democratic
National Committee loses three top officials in wake of email hack. In a massive shakeup of its top leadership, the
Democratic National Committee announced Tuesday [8/2/2016] the departures of its chief executive officer, chief financial officer,
and communications director, in the wake of an embarrassing email hack that already prompted the resignation of the DNC chair.
WikiLeaks
mum on source of damaging DNC emails, says real issue is proof Sanders 'sabotaged'. The July 22 release showed
DNC staffers appeared to undermine the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, which forced group
Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a supporter of then-party front-runner Hillary Clinton, to resign. The
release also created a rocky start for the Democrats' four-day convention last week in Philadelphia, where Clinton accepted the
party's presidential nomination.
Bernie
Sanders Delegates Stripped Of Credentials, Not Allowed Back In Convention. After the Bernie Sanders delegates
staged a walk-out yesterday [7/26/2016] and basically emptied the arena, the DNC has retaliated by stripping the Bernie Sanders delegates
of their convention creditials for the final two days and nights of the convention. Instead, the Democrats are trying to "rent a
crowd" posting an ad in Craigslist, offering to pay them $50 for attending the DNC convention in place of the Bernie Sanders delegates
who are now banned.
DNC
Lawyers Now Implicated in Email Leaks as Giving 'Pro-Hillary' Advice. A high profile law firm is now caught up
in the DNC WikiLeaks mess. A group of Bernie Sanders supporters filed a class action lawsuit against the Democratic National
Committee, and the now-former chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz. In a letter sent Monday [7/25/2016], they are demanding that
attorneys from Perkins Coie LLP be removed from the case due to a conflict of interest. [...] The plaintiffs say the recent emails
only give them more evidence that the Democratic National Committee was on board with Hillary Clinton from the start.
Another
Clinton Email Scandal. What's with Hillary Clinton and email? The Democratic presidential nominee who
shattered her credibility over a rogue email system while serving as secretary of state now must deal with an electronic
snafu at the Democratic National Committee. Among 20,000 DNC emails posted by WikiLeaks on the eve of Clinton's
nominating convention, there are scores in which party employees criticized and mocked Bernie Sanders during his primary
campaign against Clinton. (Caveat: We don't formally know the emails are authentic).
The Editor says... Formally we don't know, but hackers don't dwell on formalities, and in any case, if the emails were not
widely believed to be authentic, Debbie Wasser-name wouldn't have been run out of the convention in disgrace.
Nobody named in any of the emails has come forward to say that the messages were fabricated.
Note
to DNC: Stop Blaming Putin, YOU Wrote the Emails. [Scroll down] Who cares if it's true or not? We
know Democrats usually don't. However, it doesn't change the fact that the emails are the result of a
hack — not a fabrication. Democrats wrote every email being thrown back at them. There's a reason
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz resigned, after all. It wasn't because someone made something up, it's because those emails
are real. Republicans, Libertarians, and even Bernie Sanders supporters are having a field day with the WikiLeaks
information. It turns out almost everything they accused Democratic Party elites of doing has been proven true.
Where's
the outrage over emails' content? Shame on the national media for focusing more on the motive of the WikiLeaks
email dump and less on the content of what was uncovered — that the Democratic National Committee sought to rig
the primaries in favor of Hillary Clinton. All it took was one conspiracy theory created by the Clinton
team — that Russia is behind the 20,000 leaked DNC emails — for many in the media to ignore the real
outrage here. Namely that Bernie Sanders got a raw deal from his own party. [...] For months Sanders claimed DNC
operatives were working against him, and on the eve of the Democratic National Convention he was finally vindicated.
Hillary: I had no idea the DNC
was rigging the primaries. Whenever there's a scandal involving a Clinton, you can be sure that the Clintons
knew nothing about it. They are forever "out of the loop" when it comes to the sleazy, underhanded activities of their
lackeys. This has been true in virtually every nefarious Clinton-based plot for the last twenty-five years, and there's
no reason to think anything's changed.
The
DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz insult Bernie and 12 million Americans. More than 12 million Americans voted for Bernie Sanders in the
Democratic primary contest. Over 2 million sent in money — at $27 a pop, on average — to finance his campaign.
Millions more felt the Bern, turned out for his rallies and cheered on his promised revolution. Little did all those folks know that the Vermont
senator with the raspy voice and big ideas never had a chance. As Sanders often suggested, the Democratic National Committee decided that Hillary Clinton
would be their party's presidential nominee long before any votes were cast. It turns out the Democratic Party isn't so democratic after all.
So much for a diversity of viewpoints: Bernie
Fans Claim Their Signs Are Being Seized At Convention. Bernie Sanders supporters at the Democratic National
Convention claim people are seizing pro-Sanders signs in an effort to suppress the heavy support he is receiving on the
convention floor. The allegations began flying Monday night on Twitter just as the Democratic convention kicked
off. Many Sanders supporters in the arena booed every mention of presumed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, creating
a divisive atmosphere at what is supposed to be the party's big celebration. "They are ripping signs out of people's
hands and threatening no credentials tomorrow if we hold up signs," one Sanders delegate allegedly said in a text message
exchange posted online by a friend.
Chaos
as Democratic National Convention opens. Hillary Clinton's coronation as Democratic candidate for the White
House opened in chaos on Monday [7/25/2016] as delegates booed every mention of her name. The Philadelphia venue erupted in
jeers and shouts of 'Bernie' every time Clinton was named, and outside thousands also chanted for Bernie Sanders. The new
acting chair of proceedings, Marcia Fudge — brought in after DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz quit in disgrace when her
anti-Sanders bias was revealed — desperately called for 'respect'. Even the opening prayer was interrupted by chants
of 'Bernie, Bernie' which began from protesters outside the venue and quickly spread inside.
The Real
Implications of Deborah Wasserman Schultz's Resignation. The most fascinating aspect of the controversy over the
Democratic National Committee's hacked emails that has resulted in Deborah Wasserman Schultz's resignation — a quasi
firing — is that everything was fine with Wasserman-Schultz until... she got caught. While some Democrats,
particularly Bernie supporters, were annoyed with Debbie before "Guccifer 2.0" exposed the DNC emails, those same emails
demonstrating favoritism to Hillary Rodham Clinton by the supposedly even-handed committee were readily available to a whole
stream of people who never said word one.
Here
are the latest, most damaging things in the DNC's leaked emails. Thousands of leaked emails have sealed the fate of Rep. Debbie
Wasserman Schultz's uneven five-plus-year tenure as DNC chair. Wasserman Schultz's resignation announcement Sunday afternoon [7/24/2016]
comes as a bad situation just keeps getting worse — and appears as though it might continue to do so. That's because WikiLeaks
has so far released nearly 20,000 emails, new details are still being discovered, and there is still the prospect of additional, damaging
emails coming to light. Many of the most damaging emails suggest the committee was actively trying to undermine Bernie Sanders's presidential
campaign. Basically all of these examples came late in the primary — after Hillary Clinton was clearly headed for victory —
but they belie the national party committee's stated neutrality in the race even at that late stage.
Wonder
what emails Wikileaks will release next? Bad day for the Democrats, especially the obvious heavy-handed effort
to nominate Mrs. Clinton at any cost. These emails should make every Sanders supporter very angry. It's
obvious that the umpire in this game was looking out for Clinton.
Debbie Fired For Collusion and
Corruption — Instantly Hired By Hillary. You can't make this stuff up! Debbie Wasserman Schultz steps down/gets fired
for colluding with the media and others to crush Bernie. She becomes the picture of all things corrupt, but Hillary instantly hires her on for
the campaign. That is the kind of resumé Hillary appreciates.
Trump
Vindicated on Media Collusion. Soon-to-be-former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman
Schultz isn't the only person acutely feeling scrutiny and shame after last week's WikiLeaks email release implicated her in
shady dealings on Hillary Clinton's behalf. Now Politico's chief investigative reporter, Kenneth P. Vogel, is also
facing backlash over the revelation that he sent an entire copy of an article to the DNC for review before publication.
How
DNC staffers under Wasserman Schultz used anti-gay slurs, mocked the name of an African-American assistant and created a
sexist Craigslist job posting. Thousands of private emails from the Democratic National Committee were made
public this weekend when they were published on WikiLeaks. Among the most damning of the 20,000 emails, staffers make
fun of a black woman's name, create a fake Craigslist ad for women interested in working for Donald Trump, and trade favors
with superdelegates. The emails also appear to expose favoritism for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton
over her chief rival in the primary contest, Senator Bernie Sanders.
Trump's Biggest Enemy is the
Media. Although it's a given that the mainstream media is biased against conservative Republicans, the recent
Wikileaks 20,000 DNC email dump disclosed that the MSM has colluded with Hillary Clinton in her attacks on her opponent
Bernie Sanders. Poor Bernie didn't have a chance against the combined Clinton/MSM machine. The emails contained
off the record correspondence with reporters at the Washington Post, Politico, and the Wall Street Journal, among
others. They also show how the DNC conspired with media anchors and newspapers to torpedo Bernie Sanders.
Another
Clinton Email Scandal Erupts As Dem Convention Opens. Talk about a bad a start to a political convention.
The release of almost 20,000 emails hacked out of Democratic National Committee servers has forced the head of the DNC to
resign, sparked protests from Bernie Sanders supporters, and showed the media in cahoots with Democrats. Now, in
desperation, the Clinton campaign is claiming that this is somehow all Donald Trump's fault.
Finally,
proof that Hillary runs the media. Julian Assange leaked emails that show Hillary Clinton's campaign
coordinated with the press to launch a covert attack on Bernie Sanders. We finally have proof that many political
reporters are — as Glenn Reynolds put it — Democratic operatives with bylines. They are doing
this against Trump, of this you can be sure.
The
DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz insult Bernie and 12 million Americans. It turns out the Democratic Party
isn't so democratic after all. The DNC, headed by longtime Clinton ally Debbie Wasserman Schultz, created a debate
schedule that guaranteed low viewership, was designed to stifle competition and made sure Hillary's dominance in
superdelegates would keep rivals at bay. There was so much bad blood late last year that Sanders sued the DNC after the
party denied his campaign access to important voter data, a suit that was later dismissed. From the start, the Clinton
machine rolled right over Sanders like a steamroller.
Wasserman
Schultz ousted from convention post amid email leak. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was sidelined from her
party convention just hours before the Monday start of the Philadelphia gathering, after leaked emails indicating an anti-Bernie Sanders bias in her operation
inflamed the left flank of the party. The controversial party boss will no longer preside over the convention, and reportedly does not have a speaking
role. The fallout was swift, as even more emails surfaced Sunday showing Schultz personally blasting the Vermont independent senator's insurgent primary
presidential bid against Hillary Clinton.
Clinton
Crime Family tried to bury Bern. So now it turns out that Hillary Clinton has been using the DNC as a cut-out
in a massive dirty-tricks campaign against Sen. Bernie Sanders. A cut-out, for those who don't read espionage
novels, is "a mutually trusted intermediary facilitating the exchange of information between parties."
Wikileaks
Release Shows DNC Colluding With CBS News, Wording Poll Data Against Bernie Sanders. Earlier today [7/22/2016]
WikiLeaks released more documents showing how the Democrat National Committee (DNC) specifically worked to destroy the
candidacy of Bernie Sanders in a united effort with the media to support Hillary Clinton. The revelations within the
release are quite astounding, and unfortunately confirm all the prior suspicions of the Bernie Sanders supporters about the
democrat party apparatus working with the Clinton campaign to eliminate the threat posed by Senator Sanders.
DNC treatment of Sanders
at issue in emails leaked to Wikileaks. The Democratic National Convention kicked off Monday without its
outgoing Democratic National Committee chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, following a chaotic scene at a morning meeting
where she was loudly jeered by Bernie Sanders supporters. "I have decided that in the interest of making sure that we
can start the Democratic convention on a high note that I am not going to gavel in the convention," Wasserman Schultz told
the Sun Sentinel newspaper in an interview. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who is also the Democratic
National Committee's secretary, handled the gaveling instead.
Wikileaks
Proves Primary Was Rigged: DNC Undermined Democracy. In its recent leak of 20,000 DNC emails from January
2015 to May 2016, DNC staff discuss how to deal with Bernie Sanders' popularity as a challenge to Clinton's candidacy.
Instead of treating Sanders as a viable candidate for the Democratic ticket, the DNC worked against him and his campaign to
ensure Clinton received the nomination. [...] Instead of treating Sanders with impartiality, the DNC exhibits resentful
disdain toward him and the thousands of disenfranchised voters he could have brought into the party.
Leaked
emails revealed Democrat establishment planned to smear Bernie Sanders as an atheist. Hillary Clinton has
another email problem on her hands on the eve of the Democratic Convention — this one brought on by a provocative
move by Wikilkeaks to release 19,252 Democratic Party emails on the eve of her convention. Founder of Wikilkeaks Julian
Assange has clashed with Clinton publicly and doesn't want her to get elected president.
Hillary
Clinton May Have Conspired With The DNC To Engineer Media Blackout Of Bernie Sanders, Leaked Documents Suggest.
Hillary Clinton may have worked with the Democratic National Committee to shut Bernie Sanders out of getting media coverage,
new leaked documents from within the DNC's own servers seem to suggest. This week, a hacker calling himself "Guccifer 2"
released a number of documents stolen from the DNC. The part that got the most media attention was an extensive piece of
opposition research on Donald Trump that outlined the party's plan of attack against the real estate mogul and GOP nominee,
but supporters of Bernie Sanders claim the real bombshell was another email. In an email dated the day Hillary Clinton
officially announced her nomination, the DNC was already planning a media strategy that contrasted Clinton and Trump.
The document shows that the party had been planning for Clinton to become the nominee, not Bernie Sanders.
Bernie
Sanders supporters sue Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DNC for 'fraud'. A group made up predominantly of Bernie
Sanders supporters is suing Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, alleging she "rigged" the
primary for Hillary Clinton. A group of 120 people, including 104 Sanders donors, filed suit in federal court in the
Southern District of Florida, in the congresswoman's home district. In the suit, the plaintiffs say that Wasserman Schultz
and the DNC were fraudulent, negligent and misrepresented their true motivations in the Democratic presidential primary.
California's
lengthy vote count stokes theories that Sanders actually won the primary. As the long, languid Democratic
primary vote count in California continues, a theory has taken hold among some fringe supporters of Sen. Bernie
Sanders: that he actually won the June 7 vote. Internet sleuths of varying expertise have attempted to prove that
the millions of ballots left uncounted on election night contained a Sanders victory over Hillary Clinton, but were prevented
from being added to the count. The fact that 2.5 million early and provisional ballots were not yet counted when the
networks called the primary has become another reason to doubt that the media can fairly cover the race.
DNC
hacker reveals how the 'fix was in' for Hillary Clinton from the very start. Newly leaked documents from a
Russian hacker reveal that Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt never had a chance against Hillary Clinton in the democratic
primary. A hacker who identifies himself as 'Guficer 2.0' leaked the DNC documents, which apparently prove that Clinton
was conspiring with the DNC as early as May 26, 2015, the same day Sanders launched his presidential bid, according to the
Washington Examiner. But, it's not just the DNC that Clinton was conspiring with in 2015. The Clinton campaign was
already working hand-in-hand with the media.
Tim Canova:
The Insurgent Democrat Everyone Knows. Canova has found success in his campaign against Wasserman Schultz
mainly due to her disastrous record as DNC Chair that has inflamed disgruntled Bernie Sanders-supporting Democrats who
believe (correctly) that she has had her finger on the scale for Secretary Clinton all along.
Hacked
DNC documents may show ugly connections between the party and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Earlier this week it was announced
that a hacker breached the servers of the Democratic Party and obtained the DNC's opposition research on Donald Trump. The DNC confirmed as
much. Now, a single person claiming to be the hacker has released the supposed Donald Trump information alongside some other very revealing
internal documents. When pressed by reporters to confirm or deny the authenticity of the new documents, the DNC only issued this vague statement
doing neither. If the documents were fake, it would seem that the DNC would openly deny as much.
Leaked
document shows the DNC wanted Clinton from start. A document leaked by a hacker who took responsibility for the
Democratic National Committee data breach appears to show the DNC coordinating with Hillary Clinton from the start of the
presidential campaign — just as Bernie Sanders has claimed. A document to the DNC dated May 26,
2015 — a month after Sanders kicked off his presidential bid — declared that "our goals & strategy" are
to "provide a contrast between the GOP field and HRC."
I
watched Hillary Clinton's forces swipe Nevada: This is what the media's not telling you. [Scroll
down] From reports from my husband and other conventioneers, and from my own firsthand experience as my son and I
wandered in and out of the hall as the day progressed, it appeared that [Roberta] Lange didn't listen to much of anything the
Bernie delegates had to say; she appeared not to count the votes from that side of the room; she ejected dozens of Bernie
delegates who didn't have a chance to defend their eligibility, and who, if they were allowed to stay, would have given
Bernie more delegates than Hillary; she didn't allow for a "minority report"; she cut off microphones when people challenged her.
Did Nevada Democrat
Party Just Steal Another State From Bernie? [Scroll down] Many attendees demanded that 64 excluded
Sanders delegates, listed in a "minority report," be allowed to participate. But [Roberta] Lange instead swiftly called
for a voice vote to implement a temporary change of party rules on a permanent basis. Then she took it upon herself to
affirm the result — which, as video shows the obstreperous reaction, was at least debatable — abruptly
adjourned the meeting with an impotent slam of the gavel, and simply walked out, leaving pandemonium in her wake.
Why
Is the Press Not Talking About the Rigged Democratic Presidential Nomination? [Scroll down] Just think
what might be happening out there without this manipulation of the nomination process. The candidate drawing the bigger
crowds and winning quite frequently would be perceived as the one with the momentum toward gaining the party ring.
Instead of speaking about Sanders throwing in the towel, the press would be hounding [Hillary Clinton] about whether she is
going to collapse again like she did in 2008. What we don't know is how many of the party bosses might change their
allegiance to Sanders and tip the nomination his way.
Rigged! Hillary secretly STOLE New Hampshire.
It's the headline on every newspaper and website around the country: Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders won a resounding victory
over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in yesterday's New Hampshire Democratic primary. But there's another story
the media has been much slower to pick up on. Because despite his 22-point victory, Sanders didn't walk away with
the most New Hampshire delegates. Clinton did. And party insiders have been secretly working for months to rig the
delegate count in Clinton's favor, no matter what the voters of New Hampshire decided.
Is
There Anything Less Democratic Than The Democratic Party? [Scroll down] Well, [Bernie Sanders] may have
his eyes on the campaign finance system as the problem in the elections as many on the left do. But the more obvious one
is that he walloped his rival, Hillary Clinton, 60% to 38% Tuesday, yet he takes home just 15 delegates for the Democratic
nomination, same as the 15 she does, based on flaws in the Democratic Party's nominating process, which is proving anything
but democratic. In terms of securing the delegates needed for the nomination, it's as if that victory never happened.
And it comes on the heels of questionable tactics (six unlucky coin flips?) that diminished Sanders' clear electoral strength
there — and what should have been his victory in Iowa.
Bernie
Sanders Wins New Hampshire, But Hillary Clinton Gets All The Delegates. Unfortuantely for Sanders, this means
that he will have to finish with commanding leads in all upcoming primaries. He will have to work day and night to secure not
just South Carolina, but Florida, Minnesota, Nevada and most of the so-called "SEC" primary states — the ones at play on Super
Tuesday. But even then, he may be unable, outside of a complete and total Clinton collapse, to overcome the resources of a
party machine hell bent on Hillary Clinton as their Presidential nominee.
After
Crushing Defeat, DNC Quirk Still Gives Hillary More New Hampshire Delegates Than Sanders. Though Bernie Sanders
won the New Hampshire primary in a landslide over Hillary Clinton, he will likely receive fewer delegates than she will.
Sanders won 60 percent of the vote, but thanks to the Democratic Party's nominating system, he leaves the Granite State with
at least 13 delegates while she leaves with at least 15 delegates.
Why
Clinton's Coin Toss Win Spells Trouble for Dems. Six months ago, Senator Sanders polled at only 26 percent of the
Iowa vote to Hillary's 54 percent; word is that the former first lady's entourage was shell-shocked by her close brush with (another)
defeat in Iowa. Clinton's margin over Sanders was only a handful of delegates; apparently 6 delegates ended up in
Hillary's column by virtue of fortuitous coin tosses.
Hillary's
dubious 'victory' in Iowa alienating Sanders supporters. Long story short: the ultra-left wing of the left-wing
Democratic Party is waking up to the fact that Hillary Clinton is a vicious, crooked phony, who will do anything to win —
fair or foul. Welcome to the club, lefties. That's step one in waking up to the political corruption that is destroying
our country. Meanwhile, assuming Hillary continues to muscle her way into the nomination and escapes indictment, the odds are that
embittered Sanders supporters will stay home in November.
Hillary
Won Six Straight Coin Tosses To Win Handful Of County Delegates. As reported by MarketWatch, the official
Democratic Party rules in Iowa call for a coin toss if the caucus results are deadlocked. "In a case where two or more
preference groups are tied for the loss of a delegate, a coin shall be tossed to determine who loses the delegate," the rules
read. In Iowa on Monday [2/1/2016], in at least six precincts, a coin toss was used to decide which candidate received a
county delegate. Clinton won all six times.
The Editor says...
Hillary Clinton has always had phenomenal luck. Like the time she invested in cattle futures for a few days and
ended up with $100,000. Winning six badly-needed coin tosses in a row is nothing by comparison.
How
Hillary won at least six Iowa precincts by coin toss. Hillary Clinton claimed victory over Bernie Sanders in at
least six Iowa precincts after winning a coin toss. It was a dead heat between the Democrat candidates, and official rules
dictate administrators settle a tie by tossing a coin. Video posted on social media on Monday night and Tuesday morning
caught six astonishing moments where Clinton came out on top — to the ire of some visibly disgruntled Sanders supporters.
There have been no reports of Sanders winning a coin toss to settle one of the dead heats on Monday night [2/1/2016].
