What Is the FBI Hiding?
By Andrew P. Napolitano
September 15, 2016

*** begin quote ***

What is going on here? The FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton has not served the rule of law. The rule of law — a pillar of American constitutional freedom since the end of the Civil War — mandates that the laws are to be enforced equally. No one is beneath their protection, and no one is above their requirements. To enforce the rule of law, we have hired the FBI.

What do we do when the FBI rejects its basic responsibilities?

Obama to Erdogan: US Will Help Find Coup Plotters
In First Post-Coup Meeting, Obama Says Coup ‘Terrible’
by Jason Ditz, September 04, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Presidents Barack Obama and Recep Tayyip Erdogan met face-to-face today for the first time since the failed July coup in Turkey, providing for a somewhat awkward side-story to the G20 summit in China. Obama sought to reassure Erdogan of his support, and committed to help bring those involved in the coup to justice.

This has been an enormously touchy subject between the US and Turkey, with Erdogan seeking the extradition of a high-profile cleric from the United States, who he has accused of masterminding the coup. Expressing outrage at US reticence, Erdogan and other Turkish officials have suggested that the US was involved in the coup.

*** end quote ***

You’d think, at the end of his term, he just keep the “ship of state” steady for the next “captain”?

In any event, it’s not the USA’s President to “help” a foreign nation. 

And, there certainly enough chatter that it was Erdogan’s “false flag” operation to discredit his opponents and ensure his position. 

Also, he’s been taking Turkey away from its secular past and to the Islamic fundamentalists.

So, BHO should be like the Swiss and MYOB!

Joy Reid: ‘Planned Parenthood Is Not a Eugenicist Organization!’
By Nicholas Fondacaro | August 28, 2016 | 11:01 AM EDT

*** begin quote ***

But Aguilar would not let the facts rest. He brought it up again the next chance he had, and argued that it was a double standard that Clinton’s willful associations were not being scrutinized the way Trump’s were. “You’re mentioning a dead person for many decades,” Reid spat in frustration while trying to move away from Aguilar. As he started to talk about Planned Parenthood Reid tried to shut him up, exclaiming, “Planned Parenthood is not a eugenicist organization!” Reid followed up by claiming that Aguilar was somehow being “incredibly offensive.”

Shouting that a guest is being offensive to her seems to be a defense mechanism designed to keep facts that are damaging to liberals a secret. She did the same thing almost a month prior when she shouted down a guest for “inventing” the fact that there are roughly 33,000 missing e-mails from Clinton’s private server. She shouted the guest down saying, “You cannot say things — You’re putting out incredibly inflammatory information.”

Planned Parenthood is an organization that’s a parasitic virus on the population.

Margaret Sanger was a racist and Planned Parenthood is a continuation of her work.

Ongoing Efforts at Stealing Elections?

August 16, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Early voting is a bad public policy that increases costs, increases the likelihood of fraud, and confuses voters – leading to depressed voter turnout. It is absurd and dishonest to suggest racism being behind the sensible reform of cutting early voting down from a ridiculous 35 days before Election Day.

*** end quote ***

“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.” ― often incorrectly attributed to American humorist Mark Twain ― but very very true imho!

Unfortunately, an election is “an advanced auction of stolen goods”.

And, if we “must” participate in this fraud and theft, then let’s make it “honest”.

I’m beginning to think that the “democratic process” is not the best way to come to intelligent “pubic policy”.

I don’t understand how in India everyone has a photo id to vote. But we can’t have that here.

I seen cases in the press, when every once in a while, the truth leaks thru, that at least one person voted for BHO several times in at least three states.

Argh!

Never mind the TV shows, like Leno’s Jay-walkings, where the average voter is plain old dumb and ignorant and happy to be that way.

There has to be a better way!

Hillary, Trump, and War with Russia: The Goddamdest Stupid Idea I Have Ever Heard, … …
… … and I Have Lived in Washington
By Fred Reed
August 13, 2016

*** begin quote ***

A good reason to vote for Trump, a very good reason whatever his other intentions, is that he does not want a war with Russia. Hillary and her elite ventriloquists threaten just that.  Note the anti-Russian hysteria coming from her and her remoras.

*** and ***

Letting dilettantes, grifters, con men, pasty Neocons, bottle-blonde ruins, and corporations decide on war is insane. We have pseudo-masculine dwarves playing with things they do not understand. So far as I am aware, none of these fern-bar Clausewitz’s has worn boots, been in a war, seen a war, or faces any chance of being in a war started by themselves. They brought us Iraq, Afghanistan, and Isis, and can’t win wars against goatherds with AKs. They are going to fight…Russia?

*** end quote ***

For all Trump’s flaws — not the least of which is that he’s a Northeastern Rockefeller republican who might actually be a Democratic operative, at least he doesn’t seem to want to start yet another war.

Amazing all the chicken hawks that we have in the “District of Corruption”!

Those “goat herders with Aks” have a pretty good track record of draining the blood and treasure of Empires for decades.

Tech Companies Apple, Twitter, Google, and Instagram Collude to Defeat Trump
There is no such thing as Pro-Trump free speech as Clinton corporate allies serve up a carefully curated view of the campaign
By Liz Crokin • 08/12/16 8:30am

*** begin quote ***

Apple isn’t the only corporation doing Clinton’s bidding. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said Clinton made a deal with Google and that the tech giant is “directly engaged” in her campaign. It’s been widely reported Clinton hired Eric Schmidt—chairman of Alphabet, the parent company of Google—to set up a tech company called The Groundwork. Assange claims this was to ensure Clinton had the “engineering talent to win the election.” He also pointed out that many members of Clinton’s staff have worked for Google, and some of her former employees now work at Google.

For shame, Google, for shame!

I hope people remember this and “do no evil”.

Regardless of the coverup, we do have the right to know the truth about Hillary Clinton’s health, but truth and HRC never seem to be close companions. Not only is the campaign itself covering for her, but the mainstream media is as well. Aside from a few influential media outlets like Drudge Report, Zero Hedge, and Breitbart, you are only hearing this from bloggers who are screaming it from the rafters.

The Strange Gaps in Hillary Clinton’s Email Traffic
An analysis of the released emails raises questions about whether Clinton deleted a number of work-related emails—and if she did, why.
By Peter Schweizer
July 06, 2016

*** begin quote ***

The media has spent a lot of time parsing through the Clinton emails that already have been released—compiling lists, looking for specific names or discussion of particular issues. But they ought to pay more attention to the holes. Bob Woodward has declared that Hillary Clinton’s email scandal “reminds me of the Nixon tapes.” He’s right. In that case and here, it’s not what’s in the record that’s most troubling. It’s what’s not there.

*** end quote ***

Traffic analysis is a cryptographer’s tool.

In this case, it’s the gaps that indict the Clinton team. Clearly, there are deleted emails. 

What they say is anyone’s guess.

BUT we can be assured they are significant.

Maybe Trump’s right and the Russians could help find them!

OF COURSE BERNIE SANDERS SOLD OUT — WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED?
JULY 14, 2016 | DISINFO

*** begin quote ***

In a move that shocked faux-socialists everywhere Chairman Sanders went out on stage and officially endorsed none other than the Lizard Queen herself.

It was a sight to see, Sanders led in chains and forced to beg not only for his life but the lives of his devoted followers as Hillary watched from a chair made almost exclusively of Syrian children. “I have come here to make it as clear as possible why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president,” Sanders uttered under armed guard, “Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nomination and I congratulate her for that.” Sanders would spend the next 45 minutes slowly assuring his armed party cadres around the country that this was exactly what he wanted, that all his talk of healthcare and socialism had been “window dressing,” simply too much to ask in these “dangerous times.”

The worst was yet to come however. As Hillary’s forked tongue began sniffing the air and tasting the tears of millions Sanders brokenly said “I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States.” Democratic Socialism, a new ideology that might have left a lasting impression on the political machinery of the United States, disappeared in an instant.

The political revolution was over.

Awareness is Key
By Luis P. Almeida
July 8, 2016

*** begin quote ***

The recent announcement by the FBI that Hillary Clinton did not break the law but simply showed “extreme carelessness” should serve as a shot across the bow to anyone responsible for their organization’s information security. The FBI’s recommendation does not provide much help in regards to determining where the line is drawn between criminal “gross negligence” and “extreme carelessness”. One theory is that the difference lies in foreknowledge and intent. If so, then all of us in the security space need to take a very hard look at improving and enhancing security awareness within our organizations. Our users must be informed, otherwise, we bear the responsibility for their actions.

*** end quote ***

HRC serves as TWO good exemplars:

• First, that “security” MUST start at the TOP. I’ve been a mid-level VP in an IT organization and gotten little or no support. I could have run all the programs and awareness until “the cows come home” but the message from the top is overpowering.
   
• Second, as a little L libertarian, HRC shows just how out of control the political empire is. One set of rules for ; another for thee.

Most Corrupt Bankster in U.S. Endorses Hillary Clinton
By Thomas DiLorenzo
June 27, 2016

*** begin quote ***

It’s hard to imagine a better endorsement of Donald Trump’s economic policies – whatever they may be, whenever he finds the time to explain them – than the recent endorsement of Hillary Clinton by former Goldman Sachs CEO and U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson.  As the man in charge of the biggest explosion of corporate welfare in world history – the “TARP” bailouts, he defined himself as a sworn enemy of capitalism and a socialist when it comes to the capital markets.  Socializing billions of dollars in investment bank, insurance company, and automobile industry losses with taxpayer dollars qualifies Paulson as deserving of the S-word label.  As such, Hillary Clinton may well have found a new political and financial soulmate.

*** end quote ***

The fellow who gave us TARP wants to keep the “music” going in this game of musical chairs.

Remember that TARP was originally passed as buying HOMEOWNER’S underwater mortgages and having them repay the Federal Gooferment in accordance with the original or relate terms. At least, that made some sense to keep folks in their homes. Somehow that morphed into a hand out all the Crony Capitalists. 

Argh!

Sorry, but I’m rooting for the rejection of HRC.

Picking Trump is like  choosing the prettiest horse in the glue factory coral.

But, if that’s what it takes to disrupt “the system”, then so be it.

A wise Persian king asked his advisers to bring him something that would make him happy when he was sad and vice versa. They eventually brought the king a ring on which is inscribed “This too shall pass.”

The Case for Restoring the State Militia System

*** begin quote ***

The state militias, which have largely been subsumed into the National Guard system since the First World War, were once the centerpiece of American defense. For most of the history of the republic, the federal army was small and concerned with the defense of borders and with providing a solid professional core of soldiers in the event of a major conflict. The majority of soldiers in such a war would be composed of members of the state militias.

*** end quote ***

It’s a interesting perspective that caused me to realize that this “militia” power has been stolen by the Federal Government from the individual States.

I’ve often thought that the 17th Amendment — the direct election of Senators for those from Gooferment Skrules — allowed for the growth of the Federal Gooferment thru unfunded mandates unchecked by the various State legislatures. 

At least, that was done via an amendment. Unlike what was done with the state militias / national guard, “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”, and the many un-Constitutional “Departments” and “Agencies”.

I am glad you asked. Here is the plan. In states where either Clinton or Trump is leading by a wide margin, vote for, support Johnson.

However, in purple states such as Florida or Ohio, in which the polls indicate a virtual tie between Mr. Pretty Good and Mrs. Evil, then and only then pile on in behalf of Donald. He will need every bit of sustenance we can give him on such occasions. Who to support financially? Both. Let us hedge our bets.

Elitist Arrogance

*** begin quote ***

President Barack Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus, black state and local politicians, and civil rights organizations are neither naive nor stupid. They have been made aware of the unemployment effects of the labor laws they support; however, they are part of a political coalition. In order to get labor unions, environmental groups, business groups and other vested interests to support their handout agenda and make campaign contributions, they must give political support to what these groups want. They must support minimum wage increases even though it condemns generations of black youths to high unemployment rates.

I can’t imagine what black politicians and civil rights groups are getting in return for condemning black youths to a high rate of unemployment and its devastating effects on upward economic mobility that makes doing so worthwhile, but then again, I’m not a politician.

Sanders defeats Clinton in West Virginia
Heidi M Przybyla, USA TODAY 10:29 p.m. EDT May 10, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Bernie Sanders defeated Hillary Clinton in West Virginia’s Democratic primary Tuesday, while Donald Trump, with no remaining challengers, claimed an easy victory there and in Nebraska among Republicans.

At a rally in Salem, Ore., following his win, Sanders, a Vermont senator, told supporters “it appears that we won a big, big victory in West Virginia.”

“West Virginia is a working-class state, and like many other states in this country, including Oregon, working people are hurting,” he said. “And what the people of West Virginia said tonight, and I believe the people of Oregon and Kentucky will say next week, is that we need an economy that works for all of us, not just the one percent.”

*** end quote ***

May I offer Bernie another interpretation?

The D’s have long been anti-coal. Here’s the average working-class joe sixpack sending HRC a message.

I’d be astonished if WV does go big for Trump.

Bill Clinton, for all his faults, was spot on with “It’s the economy, stupid!”

The only think I wonder is when Black Americans will wake up like West Virginians? Their loyalty to the Democratic Party has been both misplaces and abused. Go through the classic Civil Rights legislation and count the Democrats who opposed it and Republican who did. Go through the litany of cities with Democratic mayor and machines, count the ones that for all intents and purposes are little better than war zones. Some Iraqi and Syrian cities look better than Detroit. Finally, go thru the casualties in the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs” and the Welfare State’s destruction of the black families and the black churches.

Then tell me how good the D’s are for the country! (Not that the R’s are that much better. But one must pick the prettiest horse in the glue factory coral.)

Rights Versus Wishes
By Walter E. Williams
April 20, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Here is what presidential aspirant Sen. Bernie Sanders said: “I believe that health care is a right of all people.” President Barack Obama declared that health care “should be a right for every American.” The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: “Every person has a right to adequate health care.” President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his January 1944 message to Congress, called for “the right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health.” And it is not just a health care right that people claim. There are rights to decent housing, good food, and a decent job, and for senior citizens, there’s a right to prescription drugs. In a free and moral society, do people have these rights? Let’s look at it.

*** end quote ***

So how is that “right” to “affordable care” working out for you?

I have no obligation to pay for anyone else’s “stuff”.

A “positive” right to something implies that someone must provide it.

We are supposed to believe that the network of organizations promoting a particular view of Israel and the U.S. relationship with that country doesn’t exist, and that anyone who says it does is a crank and a hater.

Basically, I don’t understand anyone who doesn’t have sympathy for Israel after the Shoah considering American actions before it (i.e., rejection of the Saint Louis; the anti-semitism of the US State Department; the failure of the executive to order the US Army Air Corp to stop the trains; the failure to inform the American people of what known facts when it was happening). 

That being said, not all the Israeli and USA interests are ALWAYS aligned.

It was an eye opening podcast that exposes how much the Israeli Gooferment manipulates the USA Gooferment to its benefit.

http://nj1015.com/feedback/

Listened to D&D (DEMINSKI & DOYLE) on 101.5 FM the other day.

And, gave them the following “feedback”. (Their webpage prevents cut’n’paste. Argh!)

*** begin quote ***

D&D on “drinking and driving”

I think the penalties are wrong and counter-productive.

First, if drinking and driving are soon bad, then my generation should have died out.

Second, “they” keep lowering the “limits” to capture more revenue. It used to be 1.25 for “DRUNKEN driving”. Now, it’s 0.80 for “DRINKING and driving”.

Third and probably worst, it confuses the definition of “crime” — something that causes death, injury, or damage to property. A driver, who is snagged for the first time in a random stop, has not hurt anyone.

Argh!

*** end quote ***

In a short feedback square, it’s impossible to lay out what is so totally wrong about the biased question. It was designed to get folks talking about increasing the suspension time and prison time for DUI.

Argh!

Even the hosts readily and quickly admitted that their question had no chance of “solving the problem” (i.e., folks drive while on the suspended / revoked list and breath interlock devices can be bypassed).

So, let’s go into a little depth.

Historically, “Drinking and Driving” was a not a “big deal”. In fact, unless there was an accident, it wasn’t enforced.

The politicians and bureaucrats want to get into our pocketbooks to drain more wealth for their unconstitutional activities. More money is always needed!

SO let’s start with reinstating the Fourth Amendment, and end the random capricious checks for “DUI”.

If there is an accident, an injury, or Heaven Forbid a death, then there has been a crime. The accused should be tried and forced to make restitution.

If it’s just an accident with property damage, then the individual should be put on notice that the NEXT time there will be SEVERE penalties. An injury or fatality goes directly to an enhanced punishment!

For a second offense, jail time should be mandatory.

Subsequent offenses should have suitably longer imprisonment.

That will END the problem with a minimum expense to the taxpayer.

 Argh!
