If Nixon Were Alive Today, He'd Say I Got Screwed

Nixon: By today's standards, I'm not a crook ... FB Posting

There is no doubt in my mind, if Nixon were alive today, he'd be muttering: "I got screwed."He would be listening and watching all the scandal-ridden turbulence surrounding the Clintons, and he would just be shaking his head.

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.

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.

Let's take a look at what these new revelations found:

• At least half of 154 non-governmental individuals who got access to Hillary Clinton (as Secretary of State) donated to the Clinton Foundation.
• The executive at the foundation left approximately 150 telephone messages over a 2 year period for Cheryl Mills, a senior aid to Hillary Clinton.
• 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.
• Hillary Clinton met with the head of Slim-Fast in 2009, He reportedly gave up to $10M to the foundation.

This is just a small sampling of the money donated to stay  in good standing with the Clintons via their foundation.

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 National Review 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."

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.

Damn!!! Progressive Democrats Have It Good

POTUS and Hillary Clinton were both on Martha's Vineyard this weekend. So, it should be fun watching them ridicule rich people this week ... Josh Earnst Tweet (parody account)

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.

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):

• Human Abedin, Hillary Clinton's top aid, was outed this week.  Before she worked for Hillary, she was editor of the Journal of Minority Muslim Affairs.  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.
• President Obama called for racial healing yet he continues to lean on racism and identify politics.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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).
• 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.
• One week ago, Aetna informed the feds it would leave Obamacare.  Aetna joined UnitedHealth and Humana who made similar announcements earlier this year. The NY Post  reported earlier this month that 350,000 New Yorkers in Obamacare will get a 16.6% increase in their premiums next year.
• Thousands of poor folks in Louisiana are suffering from the floods yet Obama continued to party (he will be visiting tomorrow only after the The Baton Rouge Advocate proclaimed: We need you here, Mr. President).   Hillary Clinton Tweeted out her concern and spoke with the governor by phone.
• The outrage by our media and the Obama administration regarding Christian genocide world-wide is conspicuous by its absence.  It's being ignored.
• 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).
• 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.
• 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.

Damn!!!  Progressive Democrats have it good.
