Bill Clinton Gets Oddly Defensive After Being Accused of Stealing Money from Haiti

Thank you WikiLeaks. 

Bill Clinton Gets Oddly Defensive After Being Accused of Stealing Money from Haiti

"....The claim that the Clinton Foundation wasted money meant to help Haiti recover from the 2010 earthquake on Chelsea’s wedding first emerged in 2016, when WikiLeaks brought attention to a hacked email from former Clinton aide Dan Band to John Podesta, the then-chairman of then-Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

In the email, Band urged Podestsa to speak with Hillary about allegations that Chelsea was exploiting the Clinton Foundation for personal gain. ...."

Congressman Introduces Law To Jail Politicians Who Protect Illegals

Congressman Introduces Law To Jail Politicians Who Protect Illegals

"A GOP congressman introduced legislation that could jail public officials in sanctuary cities.

Washington, DC – A Republican congressman announced legislation Monday that would impose huge fines and jail time on public officials who ignore federal immigration laws.

Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.) unveiled the Stopping Lawless Actions of Politicians (SLAP) Act on Monday, which targets sanctuary cities, which shelter undocumented immigrants or don't cooperate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the  Indianapolis Star  reported.

"Americans are dying because politicians sworn to uphold the law refuse to do so,” Rokita said.

Under Rokita's SLAP Act, violators could face up to five years of prison time, and a fine of up to $1 million. ....."

DOJ Is Skipping The 9th Circuit And Appealing DACA Reinstatement Straight To SCOTUS

Works for me. Bold in text mine.

DOJ Is Skipping The 9th Circuit And Appealing DACA Reinstatement Straight To SCOTUS

By: KEVIN DALEY Source: DailyCaller.com

"The Department of Justice will appeal directly to the Supreme Court after a federal judge in California ordered the Trump administration to maintain the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, an Obama-era amnesty policy that extends legal status to 800,000 illegal aliens who arrived in the U.S. as children.

The department will bypass the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction in the case, and appeal directly to the high court, a rare procedural move.

“It defies both law and common sense for DACA — an entirely discretionary non-enforcement policy that was implemented unilaterally by the last administration after Congress rejected similar legislative proposals and courts invalidating the similar DAPA policy — to somehow be mandated nationwide by a single district court in San Francisco,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement announcing the appeal. ...."

White House doctor: Trump scored 30 out of 30 on a cognitive exam he requested

Another leftist theory bites the dust. 

White House doctor: Trump scored 30 out of 30 on a cognitive exam he requested

"President Trump insisted on taking a cognitive assessment exam as part of his annual physical last week, and scored a 30/30 on the test, confirming his doctor's belief that he does not show any signs of mental deterioration.

"I had no concerns about the president's cognitive ability," Dr. Ronny Jackson, Trump's in-house doctor who oversaw his physical exam at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., last week, told reporters on Tuesday.

Jackson said Trump nevertheless requested that he undergo a neurological exam, presumably to combat heightened speculation among his critics about his fitness for office and overall mental health. He said it's the first time any president took this kind of test, as far as he knows.

"He mentally is very sharp, very tact," Jackson told reporters, noting that Trump scored 30 out of of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test that can help detect mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. ...."

The Not So Honorable Dick Durbin

Good read if you have time. 

THE NOT SO HONORABLE DICK DURBIN

" ....In addition to making stuff up, Durbin is willing, if not eager, to impugn the integrity of those who deserve better. During the Bush administration, he  compared  American soldiers to Nazis, Soviets, and Pol Pot...."

"...... There’s much more to be said against Schumer’s paean to his second-in-command. Some of it can be found in our  archive of Durbin posts. See, for example,  “Dick Durbin: Worse Than Stupid, Part 2.”

S**Hole Or No S**Hole?

Please excuse the language but neither the author nor I were the first to use it. 

I feel his suggestion in the last paragraph should be followed for meetings with congress and the press. 

S***HOLE OR NO S***HOLE?

By: John Hinderaker Source: Powerlineblog.com

"Today on ABC’s This Week, Senator David Perdue, who was present,  flatly denied  that President Trump referred to any countries as “s***holes” during a meeting with a small group of legislators:

Republican Sen. David Perdue (Ga.) on Sunday said President Trump did not use the word “hole” to refer to African nations, Haiti and El Salvador during a White House meeting with lawmakers.
***
“I’m telling you he did not use that word, George. And I’m telling you it’s a gross misrepresentation. How many times do you want me to say that?” Perdue said after host George Stephanopoulos pressed him for an answer.
***
“The gross misrepresentation was that language was used in there that was not used and also that the tone of that meeting was not contributory and not constructive,” the Georgia Republican said. ...."

" ....Years ago, some of the lawyers in my office had a series of cases around the country in which they were opposed by another Twin Cities law firm. The lawyers in that law firm were so dishonest, and so given to misrepresenting their conversations with my partners in various courts, that eventually my partners refused to have any telephone conversations with them unless a court reporter was on the line, and a transcript was prepared. President Trump is perhaps at the point where he should take similar measures to prevent Democrats (and perhaps some Republicans) from lying about his conversations with him."
