Two guys...

Two guys grow up together but after college one moves to Michigan, the other to Florida.  They agree to meet every ten years in Vero Beach and play golf.

At age 30,  they finish their round of golf and go to lunch.

"Hooters."

"Why?"

"Well, you know, they got the broads, with the big racks, and the tight shorts, and the legs ..."

"OK."

Ten years later at age 40 they play.

"Where you wanna go?"

"Hooters.

"Why?"

"Well, you know, they got cold beer and the big screen TVs and everybody has a little action on the games."

"OK."

Ten years later at age 50 they play.

"Where you wanna go?"

"Hooters."

"Why?"

"The food is pretty good and there is plenty of parking."

"OK."

At age 60 they play.

"Where you wanna go?"

"Hooters."

A Mountain Man...

A Mountain Man.....
Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was drafted by the Army.

"Clintons still scamming off poor Haiti after a natural disaster ," one user wrote.

In the wake of the devastating destruction to Haiti caused by Hurricane Matthew, President Bill Clinton took to Twitter and urged his six million-plus followers to go to the embattled Clinton Foundation to assist in relief efforts.

"Praying for everyone impacted by #HurricaneMatthew. Here's how you can help in Haiti," Clinton said his tweet, which linked to a Medium article, entitled, "Members of the Clinton Foundation Community Respond to Hurricane Matthew; Ways to Support."

The last time tragedy struct the tiny Caribbean country, Bill and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton � according to scores of enraged Haitians � used their billion dollar charity and leveraged their global connections to enrich themselves and their monied cronies.

Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010 � while 316,000 lifeless bodies lay buried under rubble, and while 300,000 Haitians suffered from injuries, with another 1.3 million displaced � the Clintons saw an opportunity to cash in.

Hillary Clinton's brother, Tony Rodham, landed a lucrative and historically rare Haitian "gold exploitation permit," while Clinton Foundation donors, including Digicel mobile phone company founder Denis O'Brien, were winning multi-million dollar contracts that would siphon massive profits from the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

While then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's State Department was funneling billions in relief funds to rebuild Haiti, the Clinton Foundation was leveraging its influence to guide high-dollar contracts to longtime Clinton cronies who would go on to reap millions off the catastrophe that had claimed so many lives on the devastated island.

"I deal through the Clinton Foundation," Tony Rodham said according to a transcript of his testimony during court proceedings, obtained by The New York Times. "That gets me in touch with the Haitian officials. I hound my brother-in-law [Bill Clinton], because it's his fund that we're going to get our money from. And he can't do it until the Haitian government does it."

The anger at the Clintons from the Haitian people is no secret.

Indeed, dozens of Haitian protesters gathered outside the Democrat National Convention in July and railed against the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation for their long-reported history of using their global connections to exploit the resources and the poor people of Haiti.

"The main message is that Hillary Clinton belongs in jail," one protester said at the time when asked what the overall message of the protest was. "We believe that the world should know about the crimes the Clinton family has committed against the country of Haiti�the money they have stolen from the earthquake victims. And we believe that were this to be anyone else, they'd be in jail right now."

"She's not in jail because she's being protected by the Obama administration, the Justice Department, State Department," the protester said.

Bill Clinton's tweet, urging support for Haiti, smacks of irony, and Twitter followers took notice.

"Clintons still scamming off poor Haiti after a natural disaster ," one user wrote.

"Do u realize what the Clinton Foundation did to Haiti?" another Twitter user asked.

His question was quickly answered by another user, who said, "Practically stole 6 billion promising hospitals/homes to rebuild Haiti?"

"More like literally," another user said.

"There it is, Clinton's looking to fill their bank accounts off another natural disaster," another user remarked.

As Breitbart News reported, Haitians have been protesting the Clintons for years for their transgressions against the tiny island nation.

NY Post: FBI ready to revolt

NY Post: FBI ready to revolt
Veteran FBI agents say FBI Director James Comey has permanently damaged the bureau's reputation for uncompromising investigations with his "cowardly" whitewash of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information using an unauthorized private e-mail server.
Feeling the heat from congressional critics, Comey last week argued that the case was investigated by career FBI agents, "So if I blew it, they blew it, too."
But agents say Comey tied investigators' hands by agreeing to unheard-of ground rules and other demands by the lawyers for Clinton and her aides that limited their investigation.
"In my 25 years with the bureau, I never had any ground rules in my interviews," said retired agent Dennis V. Hughes, the first chief of the FBI's computer-investigations unit.

Selective "Justice" on display

WSJ: AG Eric Schneiderman's Selective "Justice" on display

From Wall St. Journal * Opinion piece by un-named author * Oct. 3, 2106

America's worst Attorney General abuses his office to aid Clinton. 

http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-schneiderman-rules-1475537652

For Trump: "The AG gave the (Trump) foundation 15 days to turn over reams of paper, including audited financial statements and annual financial reports going back many years. Mr. Schneiderman warned in his letter that failure to comply will be deemed a "fraud upon the people of the state of New York.""

For Clinton: "There's also Mr. Schneiderman's screaming double standard. A September Scripps News investigation found that "year after year the [Clinton Foundation and Clinton Health Access Initiative] have ignored New York law and related instructions" when it comes to revealing foreign donors. New York charity law requires nonprofits to divulge the name of each government "agency" (foreign or domestic) and "the amount of each contribution" each year. It found that Mr. Schneiderman has the power to force that disclosure but has refused to do so."

Black Democrat on Hillary...

3.1k3.1k Facebook Twitter Google+

brunell-donald-and-hillary

Wow!

Black Democrat Brunell Donald-Kyei was a Democrat Lieutenant Governor candidate in Illinois. Then, she was a Bernie supporter. Now, she's telling the world that Donald Trump is the man to be President.

She went on Fox & Friends to say why.

She's right!

Here's the transcript:

"See people keep saying, 'Oh, Donald Trump doesn't talk right. He doesn't sound right.' And what I would say is, 'See, Donald Trump is not a politician. We can help him in office to be more Presidential. To be more politically correct.'

But see, Hillary Clinton's problem is that she has no conscience. You can't teach conscience. When you talk about four Americans dead in Benghazi. When you talk about the federal subpoena where you violated a federal subpoena � obstruction of justice � that's at least a felony! When you're talking about how the children of the people of Haiti were mistreated. When you talk about her saying she was under sniper fire in Bosnia and you find out that wasn't true. And the list goes on and on.

And then you got five of her top officials with immunity deals where the FBI has agreed to destroy evidence � Like I said, 'You cannot teach conscience.'"

Wow � That's from a Democrat!!

Clintons Taxes...

While not on the scale of Trump's business "operating loss", Hillary Clinton � like many 'wealthy' individuals is taking advantage of a legal scheme to use historical losses to avoid paying current taxes.

As Bloomberg notes, this federal tax break is among the wealthy's most used avoidance schemes...

Those 1.1 million folks in the 1 percent, as measured by the TPC, have annual income that averages a little less than $700,000. The top one-tenth of that group, some 110,000 households, average about $3.6 million, according to Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the TPC.

The middle of the pack, some 33 million people, have pretax income ranging from $45,000 to $80,000. The lowest one-fifth of taxpayers, a universe of about 47 million Americans, have income up to about $24,000.

Among the biggest of these givebacks, courtesy of the Internal Revenue Service (well, really Congress), are capital gains and dividends�these are the biggest way the wealthiest benefit.

In the words of Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, "this bombshell report reveals [Hillary Clinton's] past business failures... and may show just how long [Hillary Clinton] may have avoided paying taxes."

Bill Clinton's airport run-in with Loretta Lynch was no accident

By Edward Klein

October 3, 2016 | 8:35pm

Bill Clinton's airport run-in with Loretta Lynch was no accident

In his new book, "Guilty As Sin" (Regnery), out Tuesday, Edward Klein claims officials in the Obama administration decided before the first witness was interviewed that Hillary Clinton would not face prosecution over the handling of classified email. An excerpt:

Bill Clinton's private jet was cleared for takeoff and was taxiing toward the active runway at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport when a Secret Service agent informed him that Attorney General Loretta Lynch's plane was coming in for a landing.

"Don't take off!" Bill barked.

As his plane skidded to a halt and then headed back to its parking space, Bill grabbed a phone and called an old friend � one of his most trusted legal advisers.

It was June 27, 2016 � one year into the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails.

"Bill said, 'I want to bushwhack Loretta,' " the adviser recalled. " 'I'm going to board her plane. What do you think?' And I said, 'There's no downside for you, but she's going to take a pounding if she's crazy enough to let you on her plane.'

"He knew it would be a huge embarrassment to Loretta when people found out that she had talked to the husband of a woman � the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party � who was under criminal investigation by the FBI," the adviser continued. "But he didn't give a <snip>. He wanted to intimidate Loretta and discredit [FBI Director James] Comey's investigation of Hillary's emails, which was giving Hillary's campaign agita."

Bill hung up the phone and turned to a Secret Service agent.

"As soon as her plane lands," he said, "get the attorney general on the phone and say the president would like to have a word with her."

Once inside Lynch's plane, Bill turned on the Clinton charm. He gave Lynch's shoulder an affectionate squeeze and shook hands with her husband, Stephen Hargove.

"Bill said he could tell that Loretta knew from the get-go that she'd made a huge mistake," his adviser said. "She was literally trembling, shaking with nervousness. Her husband tried to comfort her; he kept patting her hand and rubbing her back.

"Bill made small talk about golf and grandchildren and [former Attorney General] Janet Reno, and he kept at it for nearly a half-hour. It didn't make any difference what they talked about; all he wanted to do was send a message to everyone at Justice and the FBI that Hillary had the full weight of the Clinton machine, the Democratic Party, and the White House behind her.

"It was clearly tortuous for Loretta. Bill told me later that he noticed there were beads of sweat on her upper lip."

One week later, Barack Obama invited Hillary to fly with him to North Carolina for a campaign rally. He wouldn't have let her use two of the greatest symbols of presidential power � Air Force One and the podium with the Seal of the President of the United States � if he thought there was even the slightest chance she was going to be indicted. But Attorney General Lynch had privately assured him that she wouldn't let that happen, and that the fix was in.

Many members of the mainstream media thought that FBI Director Comey was hell-bent on indicting Hillary. They called him the Eliot Ness of his time � squeaky clean and untouchable.

But that was a complete misreading of Comey.

He was affable, had a good sense of humor, and might come across as a straight arrow, but he didn't get to be director of the FBI by falling off the turnip truck. It took huge ambition and an instinct for political survival.

Comey knew that if he recommended an indictment of Hillary � something that was fiercely opposed by the president, the attorney general, the Democrats in Congress, and the mainstream media � he'd ignite a firestorm and go down in history as the man who traumatized the country's political system. What's more, if after all of that, Hillary was found not guilty by a jury, it would blacken Comey's reputation for all time to come.

The day after Obama and Hillary flew to North Carolina, Comey held a televised press conference in the FBI auditorium. Dressed in a blue shirt and gold tie, which matched the colors of the FBI flag standing behind his lectern, Comey methodically laid out a bill of indictment against Hillary Clinton.

He said that Hillary and her top aides at the State Department � Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and Jake Sullivan � had been "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."

On and on he went, for a full 10 minutes, making an iron-clad case that Hillary was guilty of gross negligence in her handling of classified material, and that she had violated a federal statute that did not require evidence of intent to prove her guilty.

Attorney General Lynch sat in her office, along with her top aides, watching Comey deliver his blistering rebuke of Hillary Clinton.

Lynch had promised President Obama and Valerie Jarrett that Hillary would not be indicted. But here was the director of the FBI on national TV laying out what appeared to be an unassailable case for prosecuting her.

How could this have happened? What had gone wrong? Would she be forced to resign?

All these thoughts went through Lynch's mind, as she later recalled to a friend, as she listened to Comey drone on.

She was livid.

Finally, she couldn't stand to watch him anymore. She covered her eyes with her hands and let out a string of curses aimed at Jim Comey. And then, three-quarters of the way through his news conference, Comey dropped a bombshell.

Hillary, he said, shouldn't be prosecuted for her handling of classified information � even though it wasn't his job to make prosecutorial decisions. That was up to the prosecutors in the Justice Department. There was no evidence, he said, that Hillary had intentionally transmitted or willfully mishandled secret documents in order to harm the United States.

"Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."

Hillary was clearly guilty as sin, and the right thing would have been for Comey not only to say so � which he did � but to make her pay for her sins.

But he didn't.

According to the Daily News-Record, Spieles confessed to re-registering 19 deceased Virginians to vo

ust yesterday we wrote about an FBI investigation into potential voter fraud in the critical swing state of Virginia after it was revealed that 19 dead people had recently been re-registered to vote (see "FBI Investigating More Dead People Voting In The Key Swing State Of Virginia").  While the Washington Post caught wind of the investigation, it was not known who was behind the operation...until now. 

Meet, Andrew Spieles, a student at James Madison University, and apparently "Lead Organizer" for HarrisonburgVOTES.  According to the Daily News-Record, Spieles confessed to re-registering 19 deceased Virginians to vote in the 2016 election cycle.

While this should come as a surprise to precisely 0 people, Spieles just happens to be Democrat who, accorded to a deleted FaceBook post, apparently recently ran for Caucus Chair of the Virginia Young Democrats.

It's too bad really, sounds like Spieles had all the right "special talents" required to be very successful politician...he just forgot the most important first rule: "Don't get caught."

Democrats and the dominant media assure us that vote fraud doesn't exist, so we certainly don't need voter ID, and in fact it would be racist to demand as much proof of identity as is necessary to board an airplane or buy a drink. Nevertheless, a Democrat state representative in Connecticut was arrested for allegedly voting 19 times.

State Rep. Christina "Tita" Ayala, D-Bridgeport, was arrested Friday on 19 voting fraud charges.

Ben & Jerry's Co-Founder: Clinton Campaign Asked For An Endorsement, I Said No

WASHINGTON � Bernie Sanders' top surrogates aren't ready to back Hillary Clinton � despite some requests from the campaign � and say they are using their political capital to push for Sanders' core priorities, campaign finance reform, instead.
In an interview, Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen, a close ally of Sanders, told BuzzFeed News that Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook reached out to him after the Democratic primary was over to talk about a potential endorsement. "It was short," Cohen said of the conversation, saying simply that he declined to endorse.

Asked who he was going to vote for in November, Cohen also said he was still deciding.

Hillary Extortion...

WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange has accused Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton of committing "extortion" by hyping fears over the possibility of a Republican victory in order to attract left-wing voters.

Mr. Assange, who spoke Saturday via a live feed before the Green Party Presidential Nominating Convention in Houston, released hacked emails last month showing Democratic National Committee officials plotting to defeat Mrs. Clinton's chief rival, Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders.

"What the Clinton campaign is doing at the moment is trying to say, 'Well, OK, yes, maybe we're committed to arms dealers and to Saudi Arabia, and yes, maybe we subverted the integrity of the Democratic primary, etc., etc., but you'll just have to swallow that, you'll just have to swallow that or else you'll get Donald Trump,'" he said.

"That's a form of extortion," Mr. Assange told party delegates to loud applause.

He urged voters to stick to their principles instead of casting a lesser-of-two-evils vote for Mrs. Clinton in November.

"It's very important not to allow the political process to suffer from extortion or even yourself to be susceptible to extortion," said Mr. Assange. "One says one has certain principles. If these principles are to be followed, then there is a price to be paid."
