<div>
<b>How fascinating have these last few weeks been prior to the national election? This fascinating:</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Democrats blame Comey for the problems and scandals created by Hillary Clinton.</b></li>
<li><b>WikiLeaks proves---beyond a reasonable doubt---that the Clintons are corrupt.</b></li>
<li><b>Hillary Clinton is the first person running for the office of the U.S. presidency who is under FBI investigation---including the Clinton Foundation.</b></li>
<li><b>Donna Brazile, now acting head of the Democrat National Committee (DNC) and worked for CNN, attempted to rig debates by feeding the Clinton campaign questions. We now know for a fact one of those questions was used.</b></li>
<li><b>Top aid Human Abedin, married to disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, appears to have placed "thousands" of emails on devices belonging to both Weiner and herself. This came to light when the FBI was looking into Weiner's alleged sexting a 15-year-old girl. (This was one of the reasons for the FBI re-opening the Clinton email case).</b></li>
<li><b>Several months ago, FBI Director Comey accused Hillary Clinton of being "reckless" with her emails and private server. In fact, the FBI found at least 10 people maintained Clinton's private server but none had any security clearances (while she was Secretary of State).</b></li>
<li><b>Bill Clinton was honorary chancellor at Laureate University where he was paid almost $18M over five years. The head of the for-profit university donated at least $5M to the Clinton Foundation. The College Scoreboard reports that Laureate's 5 campuses have graduation rates comparible to ITT, one school as low as 33%. The average student graduates from this university with almost $44,000 in tuition debt in government loans.</b></li>
<li><b>As a sidebar, reports two weeks ago show that Obamacare (ACA) is literally collapsing. Most are facing 25% increases in premiums. The average deductible for the Silver Plan is now $6,400.00. In 11 states, premiums will be rising over 40%. In addition, provider networks are leaving the system.</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>The bottom line is that all of this and more are Hillary Clinton's fault. She said she committed some mistakes. One problem: when you repeat mistakes over and over again, they are not mistakes. They are decisions. As Michael Goodwin of <i>The NY Post </i>wrote recently: "The victim card is a Clinton family heirloom...and truth is always the enemy."</b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Last night, before Hillary answered a single debate question, the FBI granted her complete immunity </span>... WH Press Secretary Tweet (satire)</b><br />
<b>-----</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Allow me to get one observation out of the way first. The video and audio of what Trump said about some women was inappropriate, tasteless and crude. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Now you know how I felt about the revelation of that private conversation. Let's take a look at the hypocrites voicing their outrage over that leak:</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Putting aside her countless scandals and corruption, Hillary Clinton is married to Bill Clinton. Most know his history with many women.</b></li>
<li><b>Hillary Clinton's closest advisor, Huma Abedin, has been married for years to the one and only "Carlos Danger" also known as Anthony Weiner. He had a habit of texting women (some alleged to be under age) his privates. Abedin has indicated she plans on divorcing him. Question: What took so long? He's been exhibiting this perverted behavior for years. </b></li>
<li><b>Mark Cuban, a businessman and on "Shark Tank," expressed his displeasure with Trump. One small problem. He aired "Girls Gone Wild" on his network. </b></li>
<li><b>Robert De Niro, a fine actor. made a video where he ranted against Trump. In fact, in it, he said he'd like to punch "Bozo" Trump in the face. Interesting coming from an actor whose made his living in Hollywood long known for making films sexualizing women and exploiting many women. Does "Casting Couch" ring a bell?</b></li>
<li><b>And need I write how the Kennedy men treated many women? For that matter, how many politicians have mistreated many women?</b></li>
<li><b>Hollywood's left-leaning players have saturated the culture portraying women as sex objects---with occasional sexual violence against women---for decades.</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>The fact is there isn't a human being on this planet that wouldn't be embarrassed by some of the things they've done in their past if those were revealed. The perfect person doesn't exist. For that matter, anyone subjected to the attacks now against Trump wouldn't survive (of course, with the exception of many progressive democrats. Need I mention Bill Clinton's name again? The only reason he was caught was the discovery of the stained "blue dress." Prior to that---he, like his wife, lied repeatedly to the nation on national television).</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Months ago, I wrote a piece entitled, "There Are No Angels In Politics." Perhaps I should have written, "There Are No Angels In Life." Both would have been true.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Not long ago, I also wrote a piece entitled, "The Media Only Pretend To Be Honest, Ethical and Objective." I think I was wrong. They no longer pretend. Or as David Burge Tweeted out recently: "I hope we can all agree, that no matter how bad Trump and Clinton are, the media are worse than all of them put together." Amen to that.</b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Hillary did mean Bernie Sanders' supporters are hopeless basement-dwellings losers, but in a good way </span>...WH Press Secretary Tweet (satire)</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>-----</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Before I begin, hat-tip to Rich Zeoli of WPHT, the Big Talker 1210 AM for giving me the idea for the headline to this post.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Two weeks ago in a video to her supporters, Hillary Clinton was wondering why she wasn't ahead 50 points in the polls. Since she asked, I'll answer. In addition to her countless scandals and her impulse to lie, she managed to insult a majority of Americans. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Last month, she referred to half of Trump's supporters as a "basket full of deplorables." In short, she called them "racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. She followed that up by calling Sanders' supporters "basement dwellers. " She said millennials are children of the "Great Recession" and are living in their "parents' basement." And while there is some truth to her observation, her intent was to convince Sanders' supporters they bought into a false narrative and false promise. In other words, they were generally very stupid. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>It's actually Trump who should be ahead 50 points in the polls if it wasn't for his sabotaging his own campaign. If you recall, Trump came out of the convention with a slight bump in the polls. But then he thought he should take on a Gold Star Family---the Khans (their son, Capt. Humayun Khan was killed fighting in Iraq).</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>But Trump recovered and started climbing in many polls especially in the all-important swing states. Again, he couldn't help himself. He went on a rant about a former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado. Twenty years ago, he called her "Miss Piggy" for her weight gain. The problem was even the main stream media was taking a closer look at Hillary Clinton's enabling of Bill's history of inappropriate relationships with many women. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The fact is both of these two candidates are flawed. In my opinion, Hillary Clinton's legacy is more flawed than Trump's. After all, she's the politician and was First Lady, NYS Senator and Secretary of State. In all of those positions, not only does she have few accomplishment (if any) but she left the State Department a total mess.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>On the other hand, there's The Donald. As Noah Rothman of <i>Commentary</i> pointed out: "But only one of these candidates is disciplined enough not to interrupt their adversary when he's making a mistake."</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Some advice to Trump: Keep your eyes on the prize. And your opponent is Hillary Clinton (yes, the media too). Focus, focus, focus---if you want to take a seat behind the president's desk in the Oval Office. </b></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"></span><b><span style="font-size: large;">"Hillary wants real-time fact checking during the debate, but not on the 27 times she said she never emailed classified material." ... </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Josh Earnst Tweet (parody)</span></b><br />
<b>-----</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>By all accounts, Hillary Clinton should do well at the debates, beginning tomorrow night. She will be well prepared. She certainly has the experience albeit with few accomplishments. Nevertheless, she should have many facts at her disposal as well as knowledge of policy...domestic and foreign. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Trump, on the other hand, might not have a grasp of the issues. But what he does have is the ability to pivot on questions. More importantly, he has a buffet of low-hanging fruit to pick from. Very similar to what Romney had with Obama but Romney didn't have the "killer" instinct. He never went after the jugular. He wanted to be viewed as a "nice" guy and being a nice guy debating any opponent is a formula for defeat. And that's what we witnessed.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>If I were Trump, I would go after Clinton's incompetence, failings and lack of accomplishments. These should include, but not be limited to, the following:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Failure after failure in foreign policy from the Russian reset to Libya (Benghazi included) to Syria (red lines now lines soaked in blood) to N. Korea to the abject failure of the Iran Deal (she supports it to this day).</b></li>
<li><b>Clinton's total lack of transparency on almost all issues including her health.</b></li>
<li><b>Iraq and Syria being infiltrated by ISIS.</b></li>
<li><b>Clinton's ever-growing e-mail scandal.</b></li>
<li><b>The failure of progressive policies----domestic and foreign----for the last 8 years including her tenure as NYS Senator and Secretary of State. </b></li>
<li><b>Hillary Clinton is perhaps one of the most corrupt politicians seeking the Oval Office.</b></li>
<li><b>Targeting her pathological lying and untrustworthiness----both shown by every poll taken in the last year. </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>If Hillary Clinton or the media's moderator try to use "gotcha" questions, all Trump has to do in response is to remind the audience that it's those type of questions that lead to the mistrust many Americans have of most politicians and the media. Trump has to focus on leadership. He needs to provide a vision. Hillary Clinton lacks both.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>As one observer noted, debates are not SAT tests. In many respects, it's how the debaters come across on TV. Nixon found that out when he ran against JFK. Those listening to the debate on radio believed Nixon did well. But those who watched the debate on TV preferred Kennedy. Whether we like to admit it or not, this is about celebrity TV. And Trump has the advantage. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton rarely comes off well on TV.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Peggy Noonan said it best: "Trump's advantage? Americans love to say they think outside the box. Trump lives outside the box. Hillary is the box."</b></div>

Powell Took Aim At The Clintons---Bullseye! <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<b><span style="font-size: large;">"It's overloading our servers!" ...</span>Josh Earnst Tweet (parody)</b><br />
<b>----</b><br />
<b>As many know by now, Colin Powell's e-mails were hacked and dumped into DCLeaks---the same website that published racist and homophobic e-mails of the DNC (Democrat National Committee). It was those e-mails that resulted in DNC Chair Debbie Waserman-Schultz resigning. The dump showed how the DNC and the media conspired to stop Bernie Sanders.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Returning to Gen Powell. Many of the headlines focused on what Powell wrote about Trump. In that e-mail he called Trump a "national disgrace" and an "international pariah." It was clearly his opinion. However, the e-mails he wrote about the Clintons were about his experience with the Clintons. Big difference. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>His e-mails included, but were not limited to, the following:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>"Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris..."</b></li>
<li><b>"I would rather not have to vote for her, although she's a friend I respect...with a husband still d**king bimbos at home (according to the NYP)."</b></li>
<li><b>"H.R.C. could have killed this two years ago merely by telling everyone honestly what she had done and not tie me into it. " {Referring to the Clinton campaign that tried to drag him into the private e-mail server scandal. In other words, the Clinton campaign attempted to throw him under the bus too but he managed to avoid being another Clinton casualty).</b></li>
<li><b>"Dumb. She should have done a 'Full Monty' at the beginning...They put the personal systems in the basement a few months later...She didn't need any advice from me, she was already doing it...I warned her staff three {times} over the past two years not to try to connect it to me. I am not sure HRC even knew or understood what was going on in the basement."</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>If these e-mails are any indication, the report that WikiLeaks plans on publishing more of her e-mails should indeed be delicious. </b></div>
<div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Truth is not the center of Hillary's approach to politics </span>... Letter to the editor of <i>The NY Post </i>by Robert Shaw.</b><br />
<b>-----</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>It's certainly interesting that Hillary Clinton and her enablers in the media accused Trump of name calling throughout the primary (he did have pet names for all of his opponents). Yet, she resorted to not only attacking Trump but many Americans with her tasteless, contemptible and inappropriate "basket of deplorables" comments last week {"...the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic---you name it."}</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>But that's not the best part of the story. Prior to Clinton's health collapse, her knee-pad presstitutes kept encircling the wagons as they've done for the past 3 decades. As I mentioned in a previous post, despite the evidence to the contrary regarding her history of poor health, the media kept attacking her critics. We witnessed that after her numerous coughing fits. But after her collapse, Clinton actually did us a favor. While most of America was aware of the media's conspicuous bias, they learned they were conned. To give you just one example. This from USA Today: "<i>As usual, </i>keeping the public in the dark is not working to Clinton's advantage...What might have been a brief flurry about what is likely to be a minor health issues {<i>they really don't know that yet---no one does except her personal physician ...me} </i>has instead become a full-fledged media and political frenzy that confirms the widely held and damaging sense she can't be trusted." </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>So even the media has awaken from their long 30 year coma regarding the Clintons. Michael Goodwin of the <i>NY Post </i>summarized it best: "...The Washington Post, CNN and others added their voices to the Clinton chorus, demonizing any who mentioned her coughing fits as cranks...In fact, the deniers were suckers." They were suckers because it was the Clinton campaign that kept even them in the dark about her health issues. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>So all the "kooks," "haters" and even "conspiracy" theories have been vindicated...vindicated because Hillary Clinton and her campaign was not transparent. Even the latest poll from Politico shows most Americans don't believe her regarding her health. {The Clinton campaign said they will be releasing her current health evaluation}.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>But it still leaves us with this fact: The Clintons have a pattern of always first reaching for a lie.</b><br />
<b></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Postscript: </i>Since this was posted, Hillary Clinton's doctor revealed she does have pneumonia. Key words: "Clinton's doctor." We need to have independent health review.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Also, Colin Powell's e-mails were hacked. They show he trashed both Trump and the Clintons. They also show he was concerned about her health also.</b></div>
<br /></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How is it possible Hillary has pneumonia when we saw her open a pickle jar </span>...<i>Razor's Tweet</i></b><br />
<b><i>-------</i></b><br />
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div>
<b>Those of you old enough recall the TV show, "Happy Days," the two-episode piece when Fonzie jumped a shark on water skis. "Jumping the Shark" eventually became known for writers of a TV show that has run its course for new ideas. It usually means a particular TV show is on the short side of life and close to cancellation.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>It's my contention that Hillary Clinton's bigoted accusation of Trump supporters---referring to them as a "basket of deplorables" last week---just might be her Fonzie moment. She said, "You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call a basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic---you name it." In my opinion, the big mistake was attacking Trump's supporters and not Trump directly. Having said that, her attack should surprise no one. Progressive democrats always place people in groups (e.g. racists, homophobes, etc.) instead of treating people as individuals. Bear in mind, it's Hillary Clinton who took millions from racist, sexist, and homophobic nations. In addition, WikiLeaks uncovered same in DNC emails. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>On the heels of that absurd accusation, she has a health emergency at the 9/11 Memorial. If you recall, after her prolonged coughing incident during a speech in Cleveland last week, many eyebrows were raised and questions were asked. Namely, her health became a major issue. Nevertheless, the presstitutes in the media came to her defense. <i>The Washington Post </i>and <i>The New York Times </i>immediately circled the wagons. For example, WaPo said questions regarding Clinton's health were "ridiculous." Keep in mind, these were the same publications that had no hesitancy in questioning the health of John McCain and Ronald Reagan before him. The bottom line---whatever her current health status---is not good. Again, after she collapsed at the 9/11 Memorial, she was sent to her daughter's residence rather than a hospital which should have been protocol especially for a presidential candidate. Her handlers understood having a presidential candidate on a litter entering an emergency room would have not been good "optics." </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Hillary Clinton already has a significant "trustworthiness" issue. Every polls shows a majority of Americans do not trust her. In addition, her lack of trust strains any sympathy people might have for her. And while any rational person would not want her to have a serious medical condition, it becomes more difficult when she accuses almost half of the country as racists, sexist, homophobes, etc. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Hillary Clinton's basket of deplorables looks more like a basket full of disdain, contempt and scorn for many American people.</b></div>
<div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>It was less than two years ago when I warned readers that the election of progressive Mayor De Blasio would result in NYC plunging into progressive hell. At this weekend's J'ouvert festival in NYC, two people were shot to death. There were also 4 shootings. This is the same festival where the former aid to NYS Gov. Andrew Cuomo was shot to death last year. Homelessness is out of control as are drug-fueled vagrants in many of the city's public parks. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>

<b>Then there's another progressive controlled city---Chicago---where this year's homicide rate is already at 500. Thirteen people were murdered over the Labor Day Weekend. A total of 43 people were shot. The murders exceeded last year's Labor Day Weekend by 5. But if you think those stats are disturbing, consider this. In August alone, 472 people were reported shot. The murder rate is up 72%, shootings up 88%. In fact, more people have been murdered in Chicago than the number of troops we've lost in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last 15 years. Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, is the former Chief of Staff to Mr. Obama.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>All of this and more is repeated in many American cities today, especially those run by progressive democrats. And yet, they all refuse to accept the <i>fact </i>that law-abiding citizens of every race and ethnicity are not the problem. Consider most of these cities have some of the most strict gun laws in America. The answer is not a mystery. Criminals, in general, are not deterred by laws or even police. But when the hands of our police officers are tied, criminals know it's party time. Curtis Sliva, founder of the Guardian Angels, said it best: "...gangs realize there is no enforcement {referring to the De Blasio administration ordering the NYPD to be armed bystanders}, and they had taken control of the streets by 3 a.m. {at the festival this past weekend}...The cops had been told once again: Don't intervene."</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The other, and perhaps more disturbing aspect of this rise in crime, is the existence of the Black Lives Matter movement---a movement started and based on a false narrative. While they focus entirely on police misuse of force against blacks (that's undeniable but not pervasive as they want us to think), they completely neglect the real problem---black on black crime. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Let's review some facts. While I'm on Chicago, did you know that 80% of all known murder suspects in 2015 were black? Whites, on the other hand, made up 0.9% of known murder suspects in Chicago that same year. In NYC, blacks committed three-quarters of all shootings. They make up 23% of the city's population. In the country as a whole, blacks make up 57% of all murder defendants. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Last year, the left-leaning <i>Washington Post </i>reported on their own study. They reported 965 people were killed by police in 2015, White police officers shooting unarmed black men accounted for less than 4% of fatal shootings. The majority of those killed by cops were brandishing weapons, were mentally ill or suicidal. Almost 30% of police shootings were the result of car chases that began with a minor traffic stop. By the way, of those 965 killed by cops, 90 were unarmed and a majority of those were white.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>It's clear. Policing is a function of crime. It's police officers trying to stop the crime. But as Michael Goodwin of <i>The NY Post </i>pointed out recently, police presence only matters if that presence is backed up by the power of arrest. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>In summary, the police are not to blame for the rise in crime. That blame rests solely on the shoulders of politicians running the cities and the criminals breaking the laws. Progressive politicians---along with their enablers like Black Lives Matter---want to disarm the cops and just turn them into bystanders. As long as this toxic ideology persists, we will continue to see more cities like Chicago in our future.</b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to confuse a millennial? Make them telephone you. No texting</span>....Kurt Schlichter Tweet</b><br />
<b>-----</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The idea for this post came to me after watching <i>Watters World </i>on <i>Fox News </i>last week. If you've ever watched his show, he does interviews with a variety of people on the street, on college campuses, at events, etc. On this particular edition, he showed some young people photos of several past presidents including, but not limited to, Carter, Reagan, Bush 1 and JFK. With the exception of one young woman, none of the others interviewed could even recognize those past presidents. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>It was that show that started me thinking about millennials. I did some research. It clearly shows no one should be surprised at not only our current warped cultural climate but the political climate as well. The following are some facts (Sources: <i>Fox News, Pew Research, NY Post, Inc., Forbes, AARP...</i>):</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>They are more diverse than previous generations.</b></li>
<li><b>The are generally well educated but also underemployed.</b></li>
<li><b>Because of the above bullet point, the are also burdened with a lot of student debt. That debt piles up quickly when you can't find a job. </b></li>
<li><b>They have no problem with socialism---hence a majority supported Bernie Sanders. </b></li>
<li><b>Again, because of the above, it's why many millennials like the idea of free college tuition.</b></li>
<li><b>Purchasing expensive clothing is not on the top of their list. Sixty percent responded they look for the cheapest price possible in clothing.</b></li>
<li><b>But their type of "socialism" only relates to humanitarian causes---they don't want the government to control everything. </b></li>
<li><b>Most millennials are well connected to social media (I know. Thank you Capt. Obvious). Broadcast TV does not interest them as much as content on their cell phones and/or tablets. Telephone land lines? Forget about it. </b></li>
<li><b>Only 18% believe owning a home is that important.</b></li>
<li><b>They are more prone to be impressed by celebrities and other successful millennials. </b></li>
<li><b>They don't tend to drive, dress up or go on dinner dates as much as previous generations.</b></li>
<li><b>Millennials want more globalization and free trade. They generally don't support Trump's plans for illegal immigrants. No surprise, since almost 45% of millennials are minorities. </b></li>
<li><b>66% of millennials voted for Obama in 2008. If millennials had not voted in 2012, Romney would now be president. Yet, even though a majority voted for Obama, apathy toward Obama set in during his second term. </b></li>
<li><b>Traits such as hard-work, patriotism and morals are not high on their list of how millennials view themselves.</b></li>
<li><b>Roughly two-thirds thought about owning a gun but do support some forms of gun control. Interestingly, a majority oppose a ban on "assault" weapons. ( "assault" weapons is their language, not mine).</b></li>
<li><b>In 2015, half of millennials surveyed said they either still lived at home with their parents or delayed purchasing a home.</b></li>
<li><b>Recent polls show Hillary Clinton has about 41% support among millennials while Trump only has about 10% or less. </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>All of this and more shows millennials continue to be confused and a tad disorientated. Their opinions are wide and varied on almost every issue. And while their politics is closer to the politics of Sanders, Clinton and even Libertarian Gary Johnson, they remain adrift.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Having said this, Kyle Smith, critic and novelist, wrote this recently when he examined the millennial generation: "Millennials will figure out who they are as soon as they start paying for their own bills."</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>That will probably happen after Obama leaves office.</b></div>

<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>So where to start? Allow me to cover one issue at a time.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>it's now been said on countless occasions you have every right to remain seated during the national anthem. After all, many have died giving you the freedom to do that even though your gesture is both disturbing and insulting. But more importantly, your rationale for remaining seated is flawed and wrong. You maintain your action is to get attention to the oppression of blacks. While it would be patently absurd to suggest that racism does not exist, it's just as absurd to proclaim we haven't made great strides in human dignity---whether it has to do with the treatment of blacks (and other minorities) or even people with disabilities. The fact is America is better today than it was decades ago. It's better than it was yesterday. Today we have a black president, a black First-Lady and some of the richest and well-off people in America are black----including you. Today we live in a nation where every minority is well represented throughout our culture. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The realty today is that most of the oppression in American today comes from blacks oppressing other blacks. In addition, the exploitation by the progressive political class, race-baiting thugs like Al Sharpton and the media should be your targets. Your targets should also be the political class that has left nothing but devastation in black communities in many major urban areas in America. Your support of the Black Lives Matter movement is also misguided. Most of that crowd uses vile rhetoric, race-baiting bully tactics and act more like petulant children. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>But as troublesome as all of that is, the most disturbing aspect of your stance was the wearing of socks depicting police as pigs. Again, while you have every right to wear those socks (although I have to question why the NFL allowed it while you practiced), it's an action that crossed the line. Are there bad cops? Absolutely. Just as there are bad teachers, bad priests, bad politicians and yes----even bad professional athletes.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Yes, oppression does exist. And Black Lives--- as all lives--- do matter. The difference is blacks need to stop killing each other. That should be your cause. And that has nothing to do with our national anthem. One more piece of advice---Grow up!!!</b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Huma Cuts Off Weiner </span>... <i>NY Post Headline Today</i></b><br />
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div>
<b>-----</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Over the last few years, many of us had a good time playing off Anthony Weiner's shortcoming and kinky behavior. This was a former congressman that had it all---except for brains and restraint. Nevertheless, with his often impulsive and inappropriate behavior of sexting to women via social media, the careless nitwit was still rather well connected to the progressive political class.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Consider this for a moment. Two years subsequent to the first time he got caught and thoroughly disgraced his Office and his family, he decided to run for mayor of NYC in 2013. One would think only a handful of democrats would even consider him as a viable candidate. You would be wrong. He was leading in the Democrat primary polls at the time. Until---well until---he got caught again. This time he was sexting under the name "Carlos Danger." </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>And if that wasn't enough, his wife, Human Abedin (confidant to Hillary Clinton), still stuck it out with this purveyor of shameless debauchery. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised considering Hillary's relationship to Bubba.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Then comes the headlines this week. But worse. He was caught sexting another woman. This time he sext her with a crotch shot of himself while his young son was next to him. This, of course, crosses all kinds of degenerate lines. Huma finally had enough, She sent out a statement saying she made a decision "to separate from my husband." The next question to her should be: WTF took you so long?</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>This entire perverted episode begs several more questions and concerns. If Weiner had not been caught again and Hillary won the presidency, this sick puppy would have been one degree away from the Oval Office. There is no doubt that Huma will get a high-level position in the event Clinton becomes president. (By the way, to find out what Human was up to in an earlier life, check out my previous post). In fact, Trump was correct when he said: "I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information." The Russian hackers would have had a field day with that one. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Kyle Smith of the <i>NY Post, </i>added this: "Since Bill Clinton's transgressions were far worse than Weiner's, why on earth has Hillary continued to stand by her man?" And I'm inclined to ask why are so many Americans still supporting this enabler?</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Why indeed!!!!</b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Hillary's complete list of accomplishments 1979-2016:</span></b><br />
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Opened a "pre-opened" pickle jar on a late night TV show</span>...WH Press Secretary Tweet (parody)</b></div>
<div>
<b>-----</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>I'll tell you what really gets under my skin. Whenever I'm out and about and I see a "Hillary" bumper sticker especially on a car being driven by a woman. And no, not for the reason you might think either (regular readers know I despise her). It's for one conspicuous and glaring fact: Hillary Clinton is a hollow and phony feminist. </b></div>
<br />
<b>Last week, the news broke that her most trusted aid---Human Abedin (the wife of the disgraced former congressman, Anthony Weiner)----was editor of a journal that smeared and besmirched Jews, Israel and the U.S. In fact, the journal ( <i>Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs) </i>also suggested America was responsible for 9/11.</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>But that's only half of it. The journal also supported Sharia Law and was opposed to the rights of women. Paul Sperry, author of "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington," reported that Saleha Abedin, Huma's mother, edited a book entitled, "Women in Islam: A Discourse in Rights and Obligations." In short, the book explains that the whipping and stoning of adulterers, sexual submissiveness and GENITAL mutilation are all permissible under Sharia Law. Moreover, the book also states: "Women can also participate in fighting when JIHAD becomes an individual duty."</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Now bear in mind. Huma Abedin is Hillary Clinton's closest aid and advisor. If Clinton is elected president, Abedin will certainly continue her role as an adviser or perhaps even a Chief of Staff. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Oh, one more fact. In 2010, Abedin arranged for then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to meet with her mother and to speak at a school for girls---the same mother who believes in the subservience, exploitation and suppression of the rights of women.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>All of this is on the heels of massive amounts of money the Clintons received from countries that treat women like dirt----literally.</b></div>
<b><div>
<br /></div>
</b><div>
<b>If, as a woman, you support Hillary Clinton----hang your head in shame. In fact, that goes for the rest of you who support her. </b></div>

<b>-----</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>There is no doubt in my mind, if Nixon were alive today, he'd be muttering: "I got screwed."</b><b>He would be listening and watching all the scandal-ridden turbulence surrounding the Clintons, and he would just be shaking his head.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Add to all the previous e-mail and private server revelations, this week it was reported Hillary Clinton allegedly (I use that loosely) used her Secretary of State governmental position to get donors to donate to the Clinton Foundation. It certainly appears that favors were granted in the expectation of something in return. In the case of the Clinton Foundation, it looks like huge donations were given to gain access to Hillary Clinton and/or the State Department.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Before anyone says, "Hey, that's what politicians do all the time;" that's true. The problem comes in when one gets something in return for a gift, donation, etc. It's also illegal for any charity to act in the interests of private business or individuals. On a personal level, I spent a majority of my professional career as an executive director of non-profit, charitable agencies. If I did anything close to what is being alleged the Clintons have done, I'd be writing this post from some corrections facility at this time. </b><br />
<b></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Let's take a look at what these new revelations found:</b></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>At least half of 154 non-governmental individuals who got access to Hillary Clinton (as Secretary of State) donated to the Clinton Foundation. </b></li>
<li><b>The executive at the foundation left approximately 150 telephone messages over a 2 year period for Cheryl Mills, a senior aid to Hillary Clinton.</b></li>
<li><b>Hillary Clinton finally met with Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain but only after it was found he contributed $32M to the Clinton Global Initiative. In fact, Bahrain also donated between $50-$100K to the Clinton Foundation.</b></li>
<li><b>Hillary Clinton met with the head of Slim-Fast in 2009, He reportedly gave up to $10M to the foundation. </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>This is just a small sampling of the money donated to stay in good standing with the Clintons via their foundation. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>But to add insult to injury and to show Hillary Clinton's first impulse is to reach for a lie, this week (and on many previous occasions), she said Colin Powell, former Secretary of State under Bush 1, did what she did regarding her e-mails and private server. In other words, she threw the general under her bus. But Powell managed to crawl out and basically say: She's full of crap. That's my language not his. He was more diplomatic. As Rich Lowry of <i>National Review </i>pointed out: "...no one forced her and her husband to run their foundation as a vast pay-to-play scheme whose inner workings must be shielded from public view. That her responsibility and no one else's---certainly not Colin Powell."</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>It appears that the State Department was for sale while Hillary Clinton headed that department. If that's the case, we can only imagine what she would do as president. And that would have left Richard Nixon shaking his head while downing yet another glass of Chateau Lafite Rothschild. </b></div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>The progressive political class sure have it good. No matter how much devastation and damage they leave in their wake, many Americans still support them. In addition, the progressive media class is now the campaign arm of Hillary Clinton. She doesn't even have to show up anywhere knowing the presstitutes in the media will continue hammering away at Trump.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Allow me just to share some recent news with you that most of the media suppressed (Oh, some report on it but it's one story against 50 that are anti-conservative or anti-republican. You can usually see this clearly on their Twitter feeds):</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Human Abedin, Hillary Clinton's top aid, was outed this week. Before she worked for Hillary, she was editor of the <i>Journal of Minority Muslim Affairs. </i>No big deal many say. I would agree except for the fact the publication blamed the U.S. for the 9/11 Attack. It also supported strict Sharia Law which ran anti-women views as well as supporting beheadings of "infedels." Note that Hillary Clinton prides herself on promoting women's rights yet has Abedin as her closest adviser.</b></li>
<li><b>President Obama called for racial healing yet he continues to lean on racism and identify politics. </b></li>
<li><b>Trump extends a hand to African-Americans when he asked them to just give him a shot. Media immediately portrays him as pandering yet neglects to report on the damage the Democrats have done to the black community for decades. </b></li>
<li><b>Hillary Clinton's foreign policy was horrific as Secretary of State. Egypt is a mess (the Arab Spring was a myth created by the media and the Obama administration). Syria is soaked in blood. Russia and China keep flipping us the bird. </b></li>
<li><b>Last week, it was reported the Open Society Foundations was hacked. It's a George Soros funded group. The hackers disclosed information that clearly showed the group giving millions to governments to sever ties with Israel. He's also given pro-Clinton super PACs millions ($8 to 13 that we know about).</b></li>
<li><b>Just two weeks ago, it was found---through a Freedom of Information Act request---that Clinton Foundation staff sought access to top-level State Department officials on behalf of donors. </b></li>
<li><b>One week ago, Aetna informed the feds it would leave Obamacare. Aetna joined UnitedHealth and Humana who made similar announcements earlier this year. <i>The NY Post </i>reported earlier this month that 350,000 New Yorkers in Obamacare will get a 16.6% increase in their premiums next year.</b></li>
<li><b>Thousands of poor folks in Louisiana are suffering from the floods yet Obama continued to party (he will be visiting tomorrow only after the <i>The Baton Rouge Advocate </i>proclaimed: We need you here, Mr. President). Hillary Clinton Tweeted out her concern and spoke with the governor by phone.</b></li>
<li><b>The outrage by our media and the Obama administration regarding Christian genocide world-wide is conspicuous by its absence. It's being ignored.</b></li>
<li><b>We've been told the thousands of refugees (small fraction Christians) coming to America will be vetted. Tell that to Angela Merkel, German chancellor. The nation is in the midst of widespread crime, cultural dissimilation and fears of more terrorism. (Peggy Noonan).</b></li>
<li><b>Also, earlier this month, former CIA Chief Mike Morell endorsed Clinton. He now works for Beacon Global Strategies, a company founded by Hillary Clinton's friends from the State Department.</b></li>
<li><b>Most of the nation knows Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar. She continues to lie to get out of trouble and fool Americans. Her supporters know who she is but they don't care. She's not a Republican or conservative. </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Damn!!! Progressive Democrats have it good. </b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Now that rioters have successfully trashed another American city, POTUS would like to say we should wait for the facts before acting </span>...Josh Earnst Tweet (parody)</b><br />
<b>---</b><br />
<b>Someone once said about Democrats and their conning of blacks(I'm paraphrasing): "They take blacks for granted and after an election, they ignore them." But it's actually worse than that. As Larry Elder, a prominent black conservative pointed out recently, "the welfare state has succeeded in destroying the black family, something neither slavery or Jim Crow could accomplish." And when it comes to the rioting we've witnessed over the decades in black neighborhoods, Elder makes the valid point that Democrats have treated blacks as victims and then they act surprised that blacks----taught to be victims---riot. This victimization mentality is reinforced by Mr. Obama. Consider every time a black is killed by a police officer, his first instinct is to blame the cop. As one columnist wrote recently, regarding black-on-black crime, Obama has only addressed it in one speech. Consider this disturbing stat: In 2015, 2,460 blacks were shot, many died. That amounts to 7 per day. Regarding the Milwaukee police officer who shot 23-year old Sylville Smith, Smith had a long criminal record. In addition, his mother told reports he got a gun because he was shot on two occasions. According to reports, after he was shot, police found he had 23 rounds of ammunition. His Facebook pages included at least one image of him aiming a gun at the camera. The investigation into this shooting continues.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<div>
<b>The fact is the progressive political class has not been too kind to African-Americans. Employment rates still lag far behind. Poverty in the black community is rampant---showing clearly that crime causes poverty not the other way around. In fact, according to the CDC, the leading cause of death of young African-American males is homicide. And yet, most of the urban areas where blacks reside have been run by progressive democrats--- in many cases for decades. For example, the last Republican mayor of Milwaukee held the office in 1906. Chicago is no better. Their last Republican mayor was in office in 1927. The current Mayor of Chicago happens to be Rahm Emanuel, former Chief of Staff to Pres. Obama.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>So when you hear progressives talk about economic inequality among poor blacks, it's not only about economic inequality---it's more about exploitation. </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>If the Black Lives Matter people had any credibility, they would be protesting on the steps of many urban city halls where many of today's progressive democrats reside. After all, it's largely blacks that have suffered in the wake of failed progressive policies---policies that have resulted in self-delusion and self-destruction. </b></div>

<b>Hate to break this news. Hillary Clinton will never be held accountable for any of her actions...unethical, illegal, corrupt or otherwise. In fact, the Clinton's have avoided consequences throughout their careers. And what's been the reaction by the progressive political class?----applauds, compliments, cheering, celebrating and even exalting Clinton's misdeeds.</b></div>
<br />
<b>They don't care about:</b><b><br /></b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>BENGHAZI</b></li>
<li><b>Benghazi being blamed on a video.</b></li>
<li><b>Private Servers</b></li>
<li><b>Failed foreign policy as we've all seen in Libya, Syria, Egypt, Russia and N. Korea.</b></li>
<li><b>The vacuum of our troop withdrawal from Iraq and back-filled by ISIS.</b></li>
<li><b>The failed Iran Deal.</b></li>
<li><b>Her obsession with identity politics, economic inequality (as she and Bill raked in over $20M in a few short years), redistribution of wealth and her anti-business economic policies.</b></li>
<li><b>The recent developments regarding the Clinton Foundation (Pay to Play)</b></li>
<li><b>The failure of her (and Obama's) Muslim outreach.</b></li>
<li><b>Police Officers (last week she refused the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police).</b></li>
<li><b>The military</b></li>
<li><b>The countless self-induced failures in her Middle East Policy.</b></li>
<li><b>Her total lack of transparency and accountability as evidenced by her private server and lack of press conferences (over 200 days and counting)</b></li>
<li><b>Her false promises. She promised her economic policy would create over 10M jobs. As NYS Senator, she promised to bring 200,000 jobs to NYS. They are still waiting.</b></li>
<li><b>And, if all of the above is not enough, they don't care she's a pathological liar and untrustworthy.</b></li>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>In fact, don't even be surprised if someone in the progressive political class says of Hillary Clinton: "She's a leader that God has blessed us with." Sound familiar? That's exactly what Nancy Pelosi said about Mr. Obama.</b></div>

<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Razor was referring to a statement made by Pres. Obama when he was campaigning. Yesterday, Trump said Second Amendment people should stop Hillary Clinton, referring to Clinton's obvious desire to weaken the Amendment.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The typical media presstitutes are reporting Trump's comments implied someone should take out Hillary Clinton. Of course, that's not what he meant. But Trump needs to understand this reality: when a Republican runs for office, he/she are not only running against democrats but also against the media. In my previous post, I noted how the media has all but abandoned journalistic principles. This is yet another example.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Yet, while Trump makes stupid statements much too often, we've seen how Hillary Clinton's actions often lead to perilous and deadly consequences. Moreover, Trump's timing must be questioned. For example, the father of the scumbag who murdered 49 at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando was sitting directly behind Clinton at her Orlando rally. This is also a guy who supported the Taliban and spoke often of his hatred of gays. The story had legs for about 5 minutes until Trump made his 2nd Amendment statement. The media throws chum in the water and Trump can't help taking a bite. All too often, his rhetoric diverts attention from Hillary Clinton's more serious flaws.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>In fact, today a story broke illustrating how Clinton put up a "For Sale" sign at the State Department when she was Secretary of that Office. Judicial Watch released documents---including 44 new e-mails---that clearly show top State Department staff doing favors for Clinton Foundation donors. In other words, if any of these donors wanted to get into the inner-circle of the Clintons, all they had to do was fork over some cash---a lot of cash. One of these donors was a Gilbert Chagoury, a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire who happened to be a close associate of a Nigerian dictator. He gave a mil to the Clinton Global Initiative.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Trump's departure and deviations from what his mission should be: To place attention on Hillary Clinton and highlight her corruption will only have one outcome: the election of Hillary Clinton as President of the U.S. And when he looks in his rearview mirror, all he will notice will be missed opportunities. </b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Hillary's insecure server included intel about the man who Iran just hanged as a spy. Her lax Nat/Sec kills, so let's promote her to POTUS </span>...<i>Razor's </i>Tweet</b><br />
<b>-----</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>I've written a number of pieces proving conclusively that the media lost their objectivity, ethics and credibility a long time ago. We've seen their malfeasance play out during the Clinton administration. We witnessed it when Dan Rather tried to go after G.W. Bush with bold-faced lies. We've watched their conspicuous bias against Israel for decades. We also observed their false narratives surrounding the riots in Ferguson. More disturbing, their malpractice was on full display with the reporting (or lack of) with regard to Fast and Furious and Benghazi scandals. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>So it should surprise no one that the media has abandoned their journalistic principles when it comes to reporting on Trump and Hillary Clinton. Admittingly, Trump has a tendency to give the media a lot of red meat to chew on. That's undeniable. He's like a QB in a huddle who gets distracted by a nitwit in the stands and breaks the huddle to jump into the stands to take on the knucklehead. He's suppose to lead the team not be diverted by some yo-yo yelling at him. Nevertheless, most of the main stream media continues to ignore Hillary Clinton's outright lies regarding her e-mails (at least <i>The Washington Post </i>could no longer ignore her blatant lies. They felt compelled to bestow 4 Pinocchios for her <i>Fox </i>interview when she said her answers were "truthful" to the FBI). But that contention by the <i>Post </i>was clearly made to absolve themselves for their long history of cloaking the Clintons in bubble wrap.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Now, as reported in <i>The NY Post </i>today, "An Iranian nuclear scientist has been hanged for treason for providing secrets to the U.S. Tehran has confirmed, less than a year after e-mails from Hillary Clinton's private server were released apparently referencing him as 'our friend.'"</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>According to Hillary Clinton and her enablers in the media, there's nothing to see here (when referring to the e-mail and private server scandal). Even as Clinton leaves dead bodies in the wake of her overall incompetence (from Syria to Libya to Iraq and now ISIS), it's Donald Trump who most of the media obsesses about. To give you a flavor of what the media does, I checked the last 7 hours of Tweets by CNN, 6 are all negative about Trump. Nothing. Nada about Hillary Clinton. MSNBC, the haven for media lunatics, is just as bad. In fact, they're even targeting Trump's wife.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>As I've written many times, Trump was not my first choice. But, if his campaign proves anything, it continues to prove that most of the main stream media pretends to be ethical, honest and credible. In fact, many in the media no longer pretend. They've compromised their journalistic principles a long time ago. </b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">DOJ recommended Iran payment. Worried it'd look like a what it is: a ransom payment </span>...Snitfit Tweet</b><br />
<b>-----</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>In July 2015, I declared the Iran Deal was the Obama administration's biggest clusterf#ck next to releasing five hardened Taliban terrorists. It was well known that Iran was (is) a terrorist state. They've been funding global terrorism for years. In fact, a year later, the left-leaning <i>NY Times </i>reported on the deception. The media were simply regurgitating talking points given to them by the Obama administration regarding the deal with Iran according to <i>The NY Times </i>report.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>This week we have yet another scandal surrounding the Iran Deal. The administration wants Americans to believe that an unmarked plane landing in Switzerland at the dead of night carrying $400M (not in American dollars) to Iran was not a ransom payment for freeing four Americans held hostage. According to the administration, it was simply a "coincidence." In addition, there are laws in place denying Iran access to U.S. financial systems (as well as others). So, by using cash, our own government circumvented those laws and its own sanctions against Iran.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>One of the major reasons we have a policy against using ransom is quite clear: Ransom payments encourage scumbags to kidnap others. Since this payment, two more Americans have been held hostage. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Even more disturbing, this $400M in ransom was hidden from Congress. Senior officials at the Justice Department conveyed their objections to sending the money to Iran but they were overruled by the State Department. So on top of negotiating an insane deal with a state sponsor of terrorism who wants to develop nuclear weapons, our government sends them hundreds of millions in cash on an unmarked aircraft in the middle of the night in a foreign country.</b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Unlike Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has sacrificed. Like when she sacrificed Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi to help POTUS win the election </span>...Josh Earnst Tweet (parody)</b><br />
<b>-----</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Not too long ago, I wrote a piece stating Trump can only take down Trump. Since that time, his strategy has been defying many in the political class and those in the media. After all, Hillary Clinton is more than just a flawed presidential candidate, she's also corrupt to the core. The evidence is now overwhelming. But just as Trump's base gives him pass after pass, the same can be said for those supporting Clinton. The big difference is that Clinton is a pathological liar. Trump, on the other hand, makes offensive and stupid statements much too often. His most recent tit-for-tat with the parents of one of our fallen warriors is certainly evidence of that conspicuous brainlessness. It's the first time any of his statements had legs when it comes to a media, a media that hovers over him like a crow ready to feed upon a decaying carcass. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>And that's his problem (among several). The more mistakes he makes like this one, the more the media and many dissatisfied Republicans will try to drum up support against him. We're witnessing that occurring already this week with more defections from Trump's camp. Some actually stated they will now support Clinton (one has to question whether they were Republicans in the first place. We do know some have been Republicans in name only). Nevertheless, the polls show he's taking some slight hits---his taking on the parents of the fallen warrior and Clinton's post-convention bounce probably account for those poll numbers (keep in mind---national polls are meaningless. It's all about electoral votes and it's more of a regional election. That's why states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida are so important).</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Then there's another theory. Are the wounds inflicted by Trump---self-inflicted on purpose? Is he really serious about beating Hillary Clinton? The more he trips over his own rhetoric, the more it appears he's not sincere about this campaign. At this point, I don't know but his actions raise my suspicions.</b><br />
<b></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Last month, I suggested a road-map for Trump to beat Hillary Clinton. It included, but was not limited to, honing in on the failed economy (as last week's weak GDP proved), focusing on Hillary Clinton placing our national security at risk (as reinforced by the Benghazi Report and Comey's report) and fixating on obliterating Islamists terrorism. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Long ago and often, I've said beating Hillary Clinton is like picking low-hanging fruit. The problem with that metaphor is that the last two Republican presidential candidates faced the same----and lost. Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton is not only flawed, she corrupt and untrustworthy as most polls illustrate. </b></div>
<div>
<br />
<b>So my suggestion to Trump. If you're serious and sincere about beating Hillary Clinton---focus, focus, focus ---on her. Don't waste your time with garbage---for the crows continue to hover. </b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">If Hillary becomes president, the Oval Office can again display the sign: "The Buck Stops Here---before it's deposited." </span>WH Press Secretary Tweet (parody)</b><br />
<b>-----</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<b>Two years ago, John Crudele of <i>The NY Post </i>wrote: "The U.S. economy is a lot weaker than Washington has been pretending it is." Not much has changed since he made that claim. The GDP numbers were released last week for the second quarter. The economy grew by a dismal 1.2%. Just as disturbing, the Obama administration might be the first administration never to have a GDP reach a growth rate of 3%---considered a relatively healthy economy. To place this pathetic growth rate in perspective, Ronald Reagan brought forth an annual growth rate of 3.5%.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>And now Hillary Clinton wants to embrace this failed economy strategy. Her plan? --</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>To raise taxes on individual companies, stock trading, capital gains and companies that move their business overseas.</b></li>
<li><b>She also plans on adding more payroll taxes as well as a tax on guns of at least 25%.</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>As she plans on doing that---she intends to INCREASE government spending (that's in the DNA of most democrats so it's no surprise). As Lawrence Kudlow at <i>Real Clear Politics </i>noted: "Hillary is a combination of Barack Obama 3.0 and Bernie Sanders 2.0. This is not change." I might add if only Obama could reach a GDP growth rate of 2%.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Obamanomics has always been a threat to the growth of our economy. The last 8 years of evidence of that. But what is utterly nefarious is the proclamation that emanates from inside the beltway that everything is fine when most Americas know that is not the case. </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Hillary Clinton's first impulse is not only to reach for a lie (as she did again on <i>Fox News Sunday </i>when confronted by host Chris Wallace about the FBI findings---that she was "careless" and "reckless," she actually said: "That's not what I heard Director Comey say."), she actually manages to lie about lying.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Trump's certainly made some disturbing and stupid statements. Hillary, on the other hand, can't open her mouth without uttering bold-faced lies. </b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Leftists very concerned Trump may be cozy with Russia had no problem with Obama telling Putin he'll be more flexible after the election</span>...Razor's Tweet</b><br />
<b>----</b><br />
<b>Yesterday, Trump said: "Russia, if you are listening, I hope you are able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing."</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Today, the media is running with that quote and their malfeasance is raising it's ugly head once again. Many are accusing Trump of encouraging the stinking Russians to hack her server. That's not what he said. Some actually accused Trump of espionage---at least the implication was there. But then again, this is the same media that portrayed Michelle Obama's speech to the DNC as "one for the ages." (CNN).</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>And then there was Mr. Obama who actually said Hillary Clinton is the most qualified EVER to run for president. He said that with a straight face too. Yet what have we heard from most of the media: white noise. Or, as Josh Earnst (parody) Tweeted yesterday: "Summary of speech yesterday if anyone missed it: Everything I said about Hillary Clinton in 2008. Forget about that." Obama's speech was proceeded by a speech by Bill Clinton. They used him as a character witness for his wife. Can't make this stuff up. Or, as Michael Goodwin of <i>The NY Post </i>observed: "Two {days} at the convention was spent trying to humanize Hillary Clinton. After 25 years in public life, she feels the need to tell us she cares." He continued: "...they made her sound like Mother Teresa."</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div>
<b>Of course, the DNC is also so concerned about our national security, not one word was said about terrorism on their fist day. Not one---of 61 speakers. In fact, the mention of ISIS is conspicuous by its absence. Mind you, Germany had 3 terrorist attacks since last week. More disturbing, the theme on Tuesday was pandering to the Black Lives Matter crowd. This after we lost 8 police officers (Dallas and Baton Rouge) in the previous weeks. And a story you know doubt missed. Black Lives Matter leaders told white journalists they were not permitted to be in the front of their march. They had to go to the rear. So much for integration.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Equally disturbing, there were no American flags at the convention hall. After that clusterfuck when viral, they found a few to place on the stage. Reports are they borrowed some from Philly's City Hall.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>And if you don't believe all of this is crazy enough, I'll leave you with what Nancy Pelosi once said of Mr. Obama: "a leader that God has blessed us with." One fact is certain. If those supporting Hillary Clinton are also seeking salvation...be careful. Her pathway will lead the nation directly into progressive hell.</b></div>

It was the media that helped suppress the truth about Fast and Furious and Benghazi. In fact, it's MSNBC that's given a show to the likes of Al Sharpton. </b></div>

<b>The fact that unethical behavior permeates the media is not new. It's been known for decades but has come to light more often through social media.
