Long-time Hillary booster warned her about corruption

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 09:00 PM PST

Veteran Democratic legislative and media activist Brent Budowsky of LA Progressive issued a sobering warning to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in March 2015 just before she announced her candidacy about the damage that would result from constantly erupting corruption scandals.

Budowsky told Podesta how discouraged he was to learn "that problems with foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation continue, Hillary Clinton was still making paid speeches for hire this week, and Tony Rodham is hustling gold mining deals in Haiti." Tony Rodham is Hillary Clinton's brother.

"If there is one thing that could well bring down a Hillary Clinton candidacy, it is this cycle of money issues about which I am now feeling red alerts, loud bells, warning signals, and red flags," Budowsky wrote in a March 21, 2015, email to John Podesta. Wikileaks made the email public Saturday.

"And I am now seriously pissed off that there is a real chance that her candidacy and the Democratic Party could be destroyed by these self-created dangers that continue to proliferate the closer she gets to presumably announcing her candidacy."

Watchdog Alleges Virginia Prepping to Accommodate Mass Voter Fraud

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 08:30 PM PST

Officials stockpile a million provisional ballots in swing state governed by a close Clinton ally

Virginia has printed 1 million provisional ballots, an unprecedented number that could allow a large number of previously disqualified felons to cast ballots for president in the potentially crucial swing state.

So says Reagan George, the president of the Virginia Voters Alliance.

George, a conservative election watchdog, charged on Monday that the Virginia Department of Elections is overpreparing for worst-case scenarios and increasing the likelihood of illegal votes being cast. In reply to Republican complaints earlier this month, Virginia Department of Elections Commissioner Edgardo Cortés acknowledged officials are preparing for all contingencies, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

But George said the provisional ballot printing doesn't make sense even for contingencies. And it doesn't compare to demand in 2012.

"The claim that it is for contingency planning is bogus," George said in an email. "In 2012, Stafford County used less [sic] than 500 provisional ballots — in 2016 they received 30,000. In 2012, Loudoun County used 700 provisional ballots. In 2016, they received 84,000. In 2012, Fairfax used 2,500 provisional ballots; in 2016, they received over 265,000. This is ridiculous."

"Meet The Grifters In Chief" - WSJ Lashes Out At Hillary Scandals

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 08:00 PM PST

While the majority of the mainstream media is content to suckle at the teat of the Clinton/Establishment machine - despite the tsunami of 'facts' and 'evidence' of the deep state corruption - The Wall Street Journal appears to have decided that honesty is the best policy... perhaps concerned for its reputation once this short-sighted farce is over.

First, The Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel appears to have taken a stand for honest reportage in her latest op-ed,lashing out at the "griefters-in-chief" stating The Clintons don't draw lines between their 'charity' and personal enrichment.

In an election season that has been full of surprises, let's hope the electorate understands that there is at least one thing of which it can be certain: A Hillary Clinton presidency will be built, from the ground up, on self-dealing, crony favors, and an utter disregard for the law.

This isn't a guess. It is spelled out, in black and white, in the latest bombshell revelation from WikiLeaks. It comes in the form of a memo written in 2011 by longtime Clinton errand boy Doug Band, who for years worked simultaneously at the Clinton Foundation and at the head of his lucrative consulting business, Teneo.

It is astonishingly detailed proof that the Clintons do not draw any lines between their "charitable" work, their political activity, their government jobs or (and most important) their personal enrichment. Every other American is expected to keep these pursuits separate, as required by tax law, anticorruption law and campaign-finance law. For the Clintons, it is all one and the same—the rules be damned.

13,210 Syrian Refugees So Far in 2016; Up 675% from 2015; 99.1% Are Muslims

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 07:30 PM PST

(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration has resettled 13,210 Syrian refugees into the United States since the beginning of 2016 – an increase of 675 percent over the same 10-month period in 2015.

Of those, 13,100 (99.1 percent) are Muslims – 12,966 Sunnis, 24 Shi'a, and 110 other Muslims – and 77 (0.5 percent) are Christians. Another 24 (0.18 percent) are Yazidis.

During the Jan.-Oct. period in 2015, 1,705 Syrian refugees were admitted, of whom 1,664 (97.5 percent) were Muslims and 29 (1.7 percent) were Christians.

Meanwhile the surge of Syrian refugee admissions initiated by the administration last February has continued into the new fiscal year, now one month-old: A total of 1,297 were resettled during October – a 593 percent increase over the 187 admitted in October 2015.

'I Was Fired For Witnessing Possible Absentee Ballot Fraud'

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 07:00 PM PST

A temporary worker for the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office in Florida has alleged in a sworn affidavit obtained by Newsmax that she was fired this week after witnessing possible absentee ballot fraud by office workers.

But the State Attorney's Office concluded Friday that the workers were duplicating ballots by hand from damaged originals faxed by military personnel and that "there is nothing improper or illegal about the conduct" under state law.

"We were understandably alarmed about what she witnessed," Bob Nichols, a Fort Lauderdale attorney, told Newsmax in an interview.

Nichols is general counsel for the Broward Republican Executive Committee, which learned of the allegations on Thursday. He interviewed the former employee and reported the matter that day to the state attorney.

"Our goal is to assure that all of the election rules are properly followed," he told Newsmax. "We want a fair election for everyone."

According to the affidavit, the former employee alleged that on Monday about 8:30 p.m. she had been told to take a stack of absentee ballot forms to what is known as the Pitney-Bowes Room at the Supervisor of Elections (SOE) office in Lauderhill, Fla.

Through the locked door's window, she saw four workers sitting at a table in the room with "stacks of documents and writing something," according to the affidavit.

She knocked on the door — and an SOE worker opened the door, took the stack from her "and closed the door," she alleged. "The employee seemed very rushed."

When the former employee returned a short time later with a second stack, the woman was allowed into the room.

"I could see the four SOE employees sitting at the same table actively filling out election ballots," she said in the affidavit. Each worker "had a stack of blank ballots to the right of them … and a stack of completed ballots to their left."

PIERS MORGAN: Get off your high horse, Hillary. Only one candidate is up to her neck in FBI probes and her name isn’t Donald

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 06:30 PM PST

When I competed in Donald Trump's first season of Celebrity Apprentice, he pitched me in the finale against country music star Trace Adkins.

NBC promoted our showdown in endless commercials as 'USA versus UK, good versus evil.'

Trace was portrayed as a strong, kind, polite, hard-working, all-American hero.

I was depicted as an arrogant, obnoxious, ruthless British villain.

There was just one problem, as I pointed out to Trump in a boardroom exchange that tragically never got aired.

'One of us,' I explained, 'is a violent alcoholic who's been shot by an ex-wife, stabbed in bar-room knife fights, and has a criminal record for a DUI.'

Hoekstra: 'Collusion' at DOJ, FBI, and State Department to Help Clintons 'Almost Unprecedented'

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 06:00 PM PST

Former Michigan Congressman and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Pete Hoekstra told Breitbart News DailySiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Thursday, "You not only have the investigation of Mrs. Clinton" regarding her current email scandal, but "you also have the questions of integrity of the top of the Department of Justice."

Additionally, Hoekstra said that it may involve "some of the people at the FBI, people at the State Department. The collusion between these individuals to help the Clintons is almost unprecedented."

He was pointing out what he called "the tremendous problems facing this country" and that "everything would just grind to a halt" in a potential Clinton administration due to the needed investigation.

"The American people right now don't have confidence in some of its most cherished institutions," he went on, "and clearly will not have confidence in the President-elect," if it's Hillary Clinton.

Assange: Clinton Resisted FBI, And Now They’re Out For Payback

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 05:30 PM PST

"Hillary Clinton very conspicuously resisted the FBI's investigation. So, there is anger within the FBI because it made the FBI look weak."

Hillary Clinton sparked an FBI backlash, which is now surfacing, when she stonewalled the Feds, who were trying to investigate her private server, Julian Assange said during the John Pilger Special, courtesy of Dartmouth Films, which is now available in full on RT.

"If you go to history of the FBI, it has become effectively America's political police. And the FBI demonstrated with taking down the former head of the CIA [David Petraeus in 2012] over classified information given to his mistress that almost no one was untouchable. The FBI is always trying to demonstrate that. 'No one can resist us,'" Assange told the Australian journalist during the 25-minute interview.

Clinton Charity Lawyer Told Execs They Were Breaking The Law

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 04:30 PM PST

Only days before signing an ethics agreement with President-elect Barack Obama in 2008, Clinton Foundation officials got a blistering internal review saying the charity "must act immediately to bring the foundation into compliance with the law and standards that govern not-for-profits …"

The review pointed to a high-ranking but unnamed foundation executive who was "being paid by [former President Clinton], the government and the foundation" who "allowed the foundation to host what may have been (or may have been viewed as) a political event, apparently without official pre-approval from the foundation's legal department and without regard, before the fact, to the impact of that decision on the foundation's tax exempt status."

The review report was provided Nov. 10, 2008, to Bruce Lindsey, the long-time Clinton political insider who was then the foundation's chief executive officer. It was attached to a Nov. 1, 2011, email made public Saturday by Wikileaks from Cheryl Mills to John Podesta, fellow long-time Clinton insiders.

The Clinton Foundation signed the ethics agreement with Obama's transition office Dec. 12, 2008, as part of the president-elect's decision to appoint Hillary Clinton as the nation's chief diplomat. Obama wanted assurance that no conflicts of interest would arise between Clinton's global work as Secretary of State and the foundation, which had operations in numerous foreign countries.

Newsweek: Clinton Could Use SCOTUS, ATF to Bypass Congress on Gun Control

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 04:00 PM PST

In a November 4 column on post-election gun control,Newsweek explained that if Hillary Clinton wins, she can use the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to bypass Congress for new restrictions on guns.

Newsweek also stressed that Clinton can try to use executive orders–which she has pledged to do–but pointed out that President Obama has largely exhausted the executive avenue.

According to Newsweek, Clinton has made clear her gun control intentions. However, the Republican-controlled House and, perhaps, a continuing Republican-controlled Senate, mean the passage of new controls will be nearly impossible. That takes us to option B, which is where Clinton might nominate an anti-Heller justice to SCOTUS, thereby positioning the court to re-open the door to municipal and federal district gun bans so that municipalities can enact more gun control whether or not Congress agrees.

Hillary threat: ‘Avalanche’ of property-rights losses

Wealth adviser reveals stakes under $15 minimum wage, future Supreme Court nominees

The past eight years have witnessed an "avalanche" of government encroachment on the personal property rights of Americans, and a Hillary Clinton presidency would be even worse, according to financial expert and radio host Gary Rathbun.

He says the first thing voters need to understand is how property rights pertain to a lot more than just physical property.

"Personal property rights are somewhat misunderstood because we naturally think of real property like real estate and land and your home, but private property rights encompass everything about you: your right to work, your thoughts, your right to speech, everything you own, everything you can produce," said Rathbun, an Ohio-based personal wealth adviser and host of "An Economy of One" on the Radio America network.

Rathbun told WND and Radio America the term "personal property rights" is not often addressed in political campaigns, but many of the underlying issues are.

"It's easier talking about the peripheral aspects: the right to bear arms, wetlands, zoning, eminent domain, minimum wage, free speech. All of those funnel right down to private property rights," Rathbun explained.

Egypt warning Hillary victory will ‘arouse’ Muslim Brotherhood

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 02:30 PM PST

'Beware, beware,' columnist says terrorism will be exported 'to many kingdoms'

Officially, the government in Egypt says it has nothing to do with the coming election of an American president.

But statements published in Egyptian media indicate significant support for GOP candidate Donald Trump, because of the likelihood the Muslim Brotherhood will increase in influence if Hillary Clinton is elected.

Wrote Rania Hefny, a columnist in Al-Ahram: "The foreign policy of the candidate with the highest chance of winning the presidential election, Hillary Clinton, will be far more inflexible than Obama's. She believes that the world's problems will be solved more quickly if the U.S. is involved in the solution. [If she is elected,] Libya and Iraq are expected to return to square one. Clinton's leadership of the American political arena will arouse the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization and the statelet Qatar, as well as ISIS – in whose creation she participated – and the focus will be on exporting the conflict to many kingdoms such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Morocco. Beware, beware, beware."

She continued: "You would do well to remember that Hillary Clinton supported the escalation of the war in Afghanistan and pushed for the ongoing U.S. military presence in Iraq. She helped plan the attack on Libya, and encouraged Obama to bomb Syria without obtaining the support of the [UN] Security Council. "

Iraqi Christians: ‘Obama Abandoned Us’

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 02:00 PM PST

Iraqi Christians – including a Catholic priest, a Kurdish soldier and a young girl – shared their outrage at President Barack Obama and their hope that Donald J. Trump wins the 2016 presidential election in a short video posted on the Emtedaad al-Dawlah Facebook page from Qaraqosh, a town outside of Mosul recently liberated by the Iraqi Army.

The priest opens the video standing in his black shirt and Roman collar with two large rosary beads hanging next to him.

"The suffering of the Iraqi people is a result of the wars and terrible decisions made by our political leaders in Iraq that have resulted in catastrophes for our nation and, in particular, the Christian minority," he said.

"The US government led by President Obama could have protected us – or at least helped us to protect ourselves," he said. "But unfortunately Obama abandoned us, and chose not to get involved."

A young girl wearing a crucifix makes it even more direct: "We hope this new guy called Trump will help us more than Obama did."

A man in the village also said he hopes that Trump will bring a different approach to Iraqi Christians: "Obama has never helped the Christians. In fact, he despises them. In the last 26 months, he has shown he despises all of them. But we have hope in the new president, Trump."

Wikileaks — WaPo's Karen Tumulty Kisses Up to John Podesta: 'Don't Go to Strangers'

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 01:30 PM PST

Karen Tumulty, national political correspondent for the Washington Post, glowingly praised John Podesta and implored him not to send any White House scoops to "strangers" in aDecember 2014 email released Friday by Wikileaks.

Tumulty thanked Podesta, then Counselor to President Barack Obama, "[f]or setting aside some time to talk to me yesterday. It is always so valuable to hear your thoughts," she wrote.

Then the reporter asked Podesta for early notification of a looming White House announcement — "big news between now and Christmas." She wrote: "When you guys decide to lift the lid a bit … please don't go to strangers." In a later email, she asked if Obama's announced plan to normalize relations with Cuba was "our pre-Christmas surprise."

Tumulty ended the thank-you note with a hint towards Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential run, which Podesta was then helping to plan and where he now serves as campaign chairman. "Also, I very much look forward to keeping in touch as you head for your next adventure," she said.

The Post reporter served as a debate moderator in March 2016 at a Democratic presidential debate in Miami.

Living Each Day With Gratitude

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 01:00 PM PST

It was game 5 of the 2004 championship series, the Red Sox versus the Yankees. I remember watching the game with my husband, our three boys asleep in bed. We were on the edge of our seats. It was tied in the eighth inning. At around 9 o'clock the phone rang, and I answered it. I don't remember anything else about that night, but that phone call will be etched in my mind forever: It was my doctor calling to tell me I had lung cancer.

A few months earlier, I had strained my back lifting my youngest son. During the routine examination, my doctor discovered a nodule on my left lung. He ordered a CT scan to check it out but assured me I had nothing to worry about, because I was healthy and even though I'd smoked casually as a young adult, I had virtually no risk factors.

I was shocked by the news, and of course I wanted to treat the cancer aggressively; I wanted my life back. I wanted to be with my family. And so I decided to have surgery that would remove half of my left lung. I also underwent four debilitating rounds of chemotherapy.

But when the cancer resurfaced in both lungs 2 years later and was diagnosed as stage 4, I knew that more treatment would diminish my quality of life, not save it..

WIKILEAKS: Clinton Had New Intern Problems 10 Years After Monica Lewinsky

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 12:30 PM PST

Former President Bill Clinton's intern problems didn't end with Monica Lewinsky in the White House, but continued into his post-presidency at the non-profit bearing his family name and were a factor when Hillary Clinton was being considered for Secretary of State in 2008.

A blistering November 2008 internal management review by a Clinton Foundation attorney told the charity's top executives to move "immediately" on a number of recommendations, including establishing a new "sexual harrassment" policy and ending the practice of promoting interns into jobs they couldn't handle.

Attorney Kumiki Gibson pointed in the review report to "the head of the Harlem office [who] has admitted that she likes hiring and/or promoting interns, despite the fact that many of these individuals have no to little experience outside the foundation and the fact that this office is located in a city with vast talent pool."

Clinton Foundation Doctored Key Memo On Its HIV Drug Program

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 12:00 PM PST

Clinton Foundation officials gave PolitiFact a doctored version of a 2008 memo lauding its HIV/AIDS program presumably to defend against congressional charges that the charity distributed "watered down" drugs to poor patients on the African continent, according to new information acquired by The Daily Caller News Foundation's Investigative Group.

The altered memo went to PolitiFact Sept. 21, three days after TheDCNF published a story titled, "Clinton Foundation AIDS Program Distributed 'Watered-Down' Drugs To Third World Countries."

The substandard drugs lead back to Ranbaxy, a generic Indian pharmaceutical company. The Clinton Foundation distributed the drugs via its Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), all without telling recipients about the medication's problems. The AIDS drug program has long been the centerpiece of the Clinton Foundation's public reputation.

Two days after receiving the altered memo from the Clinton Foundation, PolitiFact published a critique that concluded TheDCNF's story was "false." PolitiFact's critique relied heavily on the altered document, saying the Clinton Foundation "warned sub-Saharan governments and others in its buyer network to take extra steps to confirm the quality of Ranbaxy's products."

D.C. Attorney Joe DiGenova: Don't Expect Any Indictments From Clinton Investigations

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 11:30 AM PST

Former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova does not believe any indictments will come out of the investigations of the Clinton Foundation and the private email server of Hillary Clinton.

"There isn't going to be an indictment because Loretta Lynch, [Sally] Yates and Leslie Caldwell will not permit it. That's why we are going to have the greatest political crisis in history after this election no matter who wins. It will be worse if she wins, but these people at the Justice Department have been politically corrupt in the department," DiGenova told The Daily Caller late last week.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the FBI has been investigating the Clinton Foundation since the beginning of the year and using Peter Schweizer's book, "Clinton Cash," as a guide to help them sort out the numerous financial dealings among the Foundation, former President Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton's policy pushes as senator and secretary of state that appeared to benefit specific foreign governments.

Hillary Emails So Bad Clinton Campaign Wanted Public To Focus On Benghazi Instead

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 11:00 AM PST

While Hillary Clinton's campaign staffers have publicly attempted to downplay the scandal around her use of a private email server while secretary of state, they acknowledged in private just how damaging the issue could be to Clinton's political aspirations.

Leaked emails reveal the Clinton campaign actually wanted reporters and the public to focus on the 2012 Benghazi terror attacks — considered one of the darker marks on Hillary's record as secretary of state — instead of on the private email server.

The emails show a pattern of campaign staffers working to keep the public focus on the Benghazi attacks that left four Americans dead, including U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.

About a month before Hillary's campaign officially launched, the New York Times reported on March 2, 2015 that she exclusively used a private email for government business while secretary of state. The emails were found during the course of a House investigation into the Benghazi attacks.

Justice Department to Monitor Polls in 28 States on Election Day

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 10:15 AM PST


The Justice Department announced today that its Civil Rights Division plans to deploy more than 500 personnel to 67 jurisdictions in 28 states for the Nov. 8, 2016, general election.

Although state and local governments have primary responsibility for administering elections, the Civil Rights Division is charged with enforcing the federal voting rights laws that protect the rights of all citizens to access the ballot on Election Day. Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the department has regularly monitored elections in the field in jurisdictions around the country to protect the rights of voters.

"The bedrock of our democracy is the right to vote, and the Department of Justice works tirelessly to uphold that right not only on Election Day, but every day," said Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch. "We enforce federal statutes related to voting through a range of activities – including filing our own litigation when the facts warrant, submitting statements of interest in private lawsuits to help explain our understanding of these laws, and providing guidance to election officials and the general public about what these laws mean and what they require. On Election Day itself, lawyers in the Civil Rights Division's Voting Section will staff a hotline starting in the early hours of the morning, and just as we have sent election monitors in prior elections, we will continue to have a robust election monitors program in place on election day. As always, our personnel will perform these duties impartially, with one goal in mind: to see to it that every eligible voter can participate in our elections to the full extent that federal law provides. The department is deeply committed to the fair and unbiased application of our voting rights laws and we will work tirelessly to ensure that every eligible person that wants to do so is able to cast a ballot."

Leading up to and throughout Election Day, Civil Rights Division staff members will be available by telephone to receive complaints related to possible violations of the federal voting rights laws (Toll free at 1-800-253-3931 or 202-307-2767 or TTY 202-305-0082). In addition, individuals may also report such complaints by fax to 202-307-3961, by email to voting.section@usdoj.gov
Email links icon and by a complaint form on the department's website: www.justice.gov/crt/votercomplaint.

Allegations of election fraud are handled by the 94 U.S. Attorneys' Offices across the country and the Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section. Complaints may be directed to any of the local U.S. Attorneys' Offices, the local FBI offices or the Public Integrity Section at 202-514-1412. A list of U.S. Attorneys' Offices and their telephone numbers can be found at www.justice.gov/usao/find-your-united-states-attorney. A list of FBI offices and accompanying telephone numbers can be found at www.fbi.gov/contact-us.

As always, complaints related to disruption at a polling place should always be reported immediately to local election officials (including officials in the polling place). Complaints related to violence, threats of violence or intimidation at a polling place should be reported immediately to local police authorities by calling 911. They should also be reported to the department after local authorities have been contacted.

On Election Day, the Civil Rights Division will monitor the election on the ground in 67 jurisdictions for compliance with the federal voting rights laws:
  • Bethel Census Area, Alaska;
  • Dillingham Census Area, Alaska;
  • Kusilvak Census Area, Alaska;
  • Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska;

  • Harris County, Texas;
  • Waller County, Texas;
  • San Juan County, Utah;
  • Fairfax County, Virginia;
  • Prince William County, Virginia, and
  • Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The department will gather information on, among other things, whether voters are subject to different voting qualifications or procedures on the basis of race, color or membership in a language minority group; whether jurisdictions are complying with the minority language provisions of the Voting Rights Act; whether jurisdictions permit voters to receive assistance by a person of his or her choice if the voter is blind, has a disability or is unable to read or write; whether jurisdictions provide polling locations and voting systems allowing voters with disabilities to cast a private and independent ballot; whether jurisdictions comply with the voter registration list requirements of the National Voter Registration Act; and whether jurisdictions comply with the provisional ballot requirements of the Help America Vote Act. To assist in these inquiries, the department has deployed personnel who speak Spanish and a variety of Asian and Native American languages. Department personnel will also maintain contact with local election officials.

Last month, the Justice Department announced efforts to ensure that all qualified voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots and have their votes counted free of discrimination, intimidation or fraud in the election process.

Polls Show African-American Vote for Donald Trump is Double Mitt Romney's Vote

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 10:00 AM PST

Donald Trump is on track to double Gov. Mitt Romney's support among African-American voters, according to a series of state polls.

In 2012, African-Americans comprised a record 13 percent of all voters. President Barack Obama was reelected with 93 percent of the African-American vote, leaving Gov. Mitt Romney with only 6 percent of the African-American vote. Obama is now campaigning against Trump, and hoping to keep his share of the African-American vote below the 11 percent that George W. Bush won in 2004 during the housing bubble.

On Friday, a poll of 506 Pennsylvania voters by Harper Polling showed Trump has the support of 18.46 percent of African-Americans. That's 12.5 points more than Romney's share of the national vote in 2012, and if it proves true during the ballot, that 18.46 percent African-American support translates into 2 point shift towards Trump. The poll also said another 4.6 percent were undecided.

11 Explosive Clinton Cash Facts Mainstream Media Confirm are Accurate

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 09:53 AM PST

Perhaps the most surprising thing about the forthcoming book rocking Washington right now is the number of stunning facts liberal media outlets have already confirmed and verified are accurate.

Here, then, are 11 facts that mainstream media say are true, verified, and facts from the upcoming blockbuster, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.

CONFIRMED: Hillary's Foundation Hid a $2.35 Million Foreign Donation from the Head of the Russian Govt's Uranium Company that Had Business Before Hillary Clinton's State Dept.—a Clear Violation of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Obama Administration

The New York Times has confirmed that Hillary Clinton violated the Memorandum of Understanding she signed with the Obama administration promising to disclose all foreign donations during her tenure as Sec. of State.

As Clinton Cash reveals, Ian Telfer, the foreign head of the Russian-owned uranium company, Uranium One, which Hillary Clinton approved to acquire U.S. uranium, made four individual hidden donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $2.35 million, none of which appear in Clinton Foundation disclosures.

REVEALED: Washington Post Uncovers 1,100 Hidden Foreign 'Clinton Cash' Donations

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 09:45 AM PST

A charity affiliated with the Clinton Foundation failed to reveal the identities of its 1,100 donors, creating a broad exception to the foundation's promise to disclose funding sources as part of an ethics agreement with the Obama administration.

The number of undisclosed contributors to the charity, the Canada-based Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, signals a larger zone of secrecy around foundation donors than was previously known.

Details of the organization's fundraising were disclosed this week by a spokeswoman for the Canadian group's founder, mining magnate Frank Giustra.

The Canadian group has received attention in recent days as a potential avenue for anonymous Clinton Foundation donations from foreign business executives, including some who had interests before the U.S. government while Hillary Rodham Clinton was secretary of state.

Rare Agreement Between NYT, WSJ: 'Clinton Cash' Is a Real Scandal

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 09:37 AM PST

On Friday, the lead editorial in the Wall Street Journal–often a mainstream conservative bellwether–castigated Hillary Clinton for the conflicts of interest exposed by Breitbart editor Peter Schweizer's forthcoming book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich. And, in a moment of rare bipartisan unity, the lead editorial of the New York Times–a liberal mouthpiece–largely agreed.

The key points in the WSJ editorial, "Quid Pro Clinton":

This is how the Clintons conduct their politics and family business, to the extent these are separate enterprises. The Clinton Foundation is a nominal philanthropy that was really created as a vast fund-raising operation to promote Bill's post-Presidential career and Hillary's pre-Presidential one….

All of this echoes of the 1990s, as does the Clinton method of defense, which is to deny, stonewall, assail and change the subject. Hillary has already tried to deflect the fund-raising fury by coming out in favor of rewriting the First Amendment to limit campaign contributions. So because the Clintons break the rules, she wants to impose new limits on political speech on the rest of America.

And the New York Times joins in, with "Candidate Clinton and the Foundation":

'AMAZING!' Hillary praises Jay-Z's explicit campaign concert

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 09:30 AM PST

Progressive privilege?

Even the N-word and F-bombs weren't worthy of Hillary Clinton's condemnation last night — likely because they were for her benefit.

During an appearance in Pembroke Pines, Florida today, Hillary praised Jay-Z's foul performance for her campaign.

"I gotta say, last night, I was with Jay-Z and Beyonce," Clinton said braggadociosly.

"They were amazing. You can go online and watch it. It was the most extraordinary show!" she added.

But the performance was criticized because of the explicit and racially-charged language.

Hillary Accepted Qatar Money Without Notifying Government, While She Was Head Of State Dept

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 09:23 AM PST

Three weeks ago, when we first reported that Qatar had offered to pay the Clinton Foundation $1 million after a hacked Podesta email disclosed that the ambassador of Qatar "Would like to see WJC [William Jefferson Clinton] 'for five minutes' in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC's birthday in 2011", we said that in this particular case, the Clinton Foundation may also be in violation of State Department ethics codes.

As we said in early October, while this has been seen by critics of the Clinton Foundation as yet another instance of influence pandering and "pay-to-play", this time there may actually be consequences for the Clinton Foundation: according to the State Department, the previously undisclosed donation suggests there may be an ethics violation by the foundation, even though the State of Qatar is shown on the foundation's website as having given at least that amount. There is no date listed for the donation.

Underscoring the potential flagrant abuse of ethical guidelines if the Qatar payment is confirmed, Hillary Clinton promised the U.S. government that while she served as secretary of state the foundation would not accept new funding from foreign governments without seeking clearance from the State Department's ethics office. The agreement was designed to dispel concerns that U.S. foreign policy could be swayed by donations to the foundation.

Of course, US foreign policy could be very easily swayed if Hillary accepted money and simply did not report it the receipt of such money.

Hillary deleted a 2009 email showing that she forwarded classified information to Chelsea

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 09:15 AM PST

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton deleted an email from 2009 that shows she forwarded classified information to her daughter, Chelsea.

The State Department released the email on Friday, as it is one of thousands that were recovered by the FBI from Clinton's private email server.

The email chain from December 20, 2009 titled 'Update,' began with a message from Michael Froman, who served as deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs and as a deputy assistant to President Obama.

It was then sent to Clinton's foreign policy adviser at the State Department, Jake Sullivan, along with several aides to the president.

Leaked Clinton Foundation "Smoking Gun" Memo Reveals It Was Not "In Compliance With The Law"

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 09:07 AM PST

While there are conflicting reports whether the FBI may or may not indict the Clinton Foundation, which as the WSJ reported last week is being investigated by various FBI teams, even as other parts of the Bureau - and the DOJ - seek to squash the probe, the latest dump of Podesta emails has revealed a critical, confidential memo from prominent New York lawyer Kumiki Gibson to Clinton Foundation Chairman Bruce Lindsey (and former Bill Clinton attorney) which was performed as part of an inside audit of the foundation, and confirms that the charitable organization (which it found "operates more like a political operation") was engaged in practices that broke the law.

As Gibson, who according to her resume "counseled the William J. Clinton Foundation, an international not-for-profit organization, on structural, legal, and compliance issues" from May 2008 until January 2014, wrote the purpose of the confidential November 10, 2008 memo, was to "set forth the findings of my review of the Legal and Human Resources Departments of the William J. Clinton Foundation ("Foundation") and those pertaining to other areas of the Foundation revealed during this review, and my recommendations to the Foundation based on this review."

The summary reveals serious reservations about the viability of the foundation - which "operates more like a political operation" than a "professional, strategic, and sustainable corporation committed to advancing its overall mission" - if and when Bill Clinton were to depart and "the Foundation has to rise and/or fall on its own name and work only."

While the Foundation has grown impressively over the past several years, it has a number of fundamental organizational challenges and deficiencies that undermine its effectiveness, expose it to significant risk, and, ultimately, threaten its long-term survival. The Foundation (as opposed to its initiatives, which I have not reviewed) operates more like a political operation focused on immediate situations, tasks, and events, as opposed to a professional, strategic, and sustainable corporation committed to advancing its overall mission. While that may not be a problem while the President is personally involved in the Foundation -- and can garner support based on that involvement -- it will be a problem when he is no longer involved, and the Foundation has to rise and/or fall on its own name and work only.

Trump Lead Widens To 2, His Biggest Yet, Despite 'November Surprise': IBD/TIPP Poll

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 09:00 AM PST

With one day to go, Donald Trump extended his lead over Hillary Clinton, 43% to 41%, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll. That comes after a third bombshell from FBI Director James Comey, who announced Sunday he would not indict Clinton for heremail scandal.

Trump's two-point lead now matches his largest so far during the 20 days of polling.

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson gets 6% of the vote, Green Party candidate Jill Stein just 2%.

In a two-way matchup that excludes the two third-party candidates, however, Clinton still holds a 43% to 42% lead over Trump, with 9% of those responding saying they were "unsure" for whom they would vote.

The unrounded poll numbers give Trump a 2.4 percentage point advantage over Clinton in the four-way race, 43.1% to 40.7%. Trump and Clinton had essentially been deadlocked for four days through Friday, but Trump moved into the lead Saturday and widened it on Sunday on a steady drumbeat of news surrounding Hillary Clinton's emails.

MY FINAL ARGUMENT FOR TRUMP: HUMILIATE THE MEDIA!

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 08:45 AM PST

(EDITORS: Please note graphic language in column.)

For every argument the media make against Trump, Hillary's worse.

(1) Eleven years ago, Trump said on a secretly recorded tape that celebrities can do anything -- even grab a woman's p*ssy.

Hillary, born-again Victorian virgin, campaigns with Beyonce, who performs a duet with the words "curvalicious, p*ssy served delicious."

Hillary is thrilled to have the support of Madonna -- who has publicly offered to give blow jobs to anyone who votes for Hillary. (She'll even remove her teeth!)

Hillary's campaign has deployed Miley Cyrus to canvas for her -- when Cyrus is not busy inviting men in the audience to reach up and grab her p*ssy. (Video of delicate flower Miley Cyrus in action.)

When Vernon Jordan was asked by CBS' Mike Wallace what he talked about while golfing with Bill Clinton -- aka Hillary's husband -- he answered: "P*ssy."

Oh, and 11 years before Teddy Kennedy ran for president as the Conscience of the Democratic Party -- he killed a girl. After grabbing her p*ssy.

(2) Trump's a sexual predator!

Hillary's husband is a well-established rapist, groper and pants-dropper. She's his fixer.

Unlike the serial predations of her husband, leveled repeatedly throughout the decades, these 11th-hour allegations against Trump are highly suspect, for the timing alone.

Doug Band Exposes Foundation's "For-Profit Activity Of President Clinton (i.e., Bill Clinton, Inc.)"

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 08:37 AM PST

Of all the discoveries revealed as part of the Wikileaks Podesta email dump over the past month, perhaps none has been as damaging to the reputation of the Clinton family as those made by the disgruntled employee of consulting firm Teneo (which was closely linked to the Clinton Global Initiative and Clinton Foundation), Doug Band.

As we previously reported, in the last email dump released overnight, as part of Band's ongoing feud with Chelsea Clinton and her allegations that he was misusing the Clinton name to enrich himself, Doug Band accused Chelsea Clinton of using Foundation money to pay for her wedding:

The investigation into her getting paid for campaigning, using foundation resources for her wedding and life for a decade, taxes on money from her parents.... I hope that you will speak to her and end this

In the latest email batch, Doug Band also revealed that Chelsea's husband Marc Mezvinsky had abused the Clinton Foundation's influence, and his wife's family name, to help him find sources of cash for his hedge fund, Eaglevale, which included such seed sponsors as Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

Marc mez[vinsky] had an idea to put together a poker night for the foundation to raise money. His raising money for his own fund hasn't been going well and he has cvc [Chelsea Clinton] making some calls for him to get mtgs with some clinton people.

Marc has invited several potential investors and a few current business ones to the poker night. I assume all are contributing to the foundation, which of course isn't the point. What is the point is that he is doing precisely what he accused me of doing as the entire plan of his has been to use this for his business which he is.

Speaker Slams Hillary At Clinton Rally, Immediately Gets Dragged Off Stage

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 08:30 AM PST

Kaleb Vanfosson was scheduled to introduce Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders at a rally for Hillary Clinton in Ames, Iowa, Saturday, but things didn't go as planned for the campaign.

Vanfosson, president of the Iowa State chapter of Students for Bernie, ended up being dragged off stage after he slammed Clinton as someone who only "cares about is pleasing her donors, the billionaires who fund her election."

The remarks came as Vanfosson was supposed to be introducing Sanders. While talking about student loan debt and attacking Republican Donald Trump for failing to talk about the issue, Vanfosson said, "But unfortunately, Hillary doesn't care either. The only thing she cares about is pleasing her donors, the billionaires who fund her campaign."

Florida Elections Worker: "I Was Fired For Witnessing Possible Absentee Ballot Fraud"

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 08:23 AM PST

Broward County, Florida, home of the now infamous "hanging chad" fiasco during the 2000 showdown between George Bush and Al Gore, may be on the verge of yet another controversial election cycle. Historically a democrat stronghold, Broward County always comes under extra scrutiny during presidential elections as it can single-highhandedly swing the entire state of Florida in one direction or another.

Per a new report from NewsMax, the 2016 election cycle may be among the most controversial yet as a temporary worker for the Broward County Supervisor of Elections office has been fired after reporting what she thought to be "election fraud." In a sworn affidavit presented to the Florida State Attorney General, this temporary worker claims that she witnessed "four Supervisor of Elections employees sitting at the same table actively filling out election ballots." Further, according to the affidavit, each of the four workers "had a stack of blank ballots to the right of them … and a stack of completed ballots to their left."

A temporary worker for the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office in Florida has alleged in a sworn affidavit obtained by Newsmax that she was fired this week after witnessing possible absentee ballot fraud by office workers.

Nichols is general counsel for the Broward Republican Executive Committee, which learned of the allegations on Thursday. He interviewed the former employee and reported the matter that day to the state attorney.

"Our goal is to assure that all of the election rules are properly followed," he told Newsmax. "We want a fair election for everyone."

Virginia Governor Restores Voting Rights to Felons

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 08:15 AM PST

WASHINGTON — Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia used his executive power on Friday to restore voting rights to more than 200,000 convicted felons, circumventing the Republican-run legislature. The action effectively overturns a Civil War-era provision in the state's Constitution aimed, he said, at disenfranchising African-Americans.

The sweeping order, in a swing state that could play a role in deciding the November presidential election, will enable all felons who have served their prison time and finished parole or probation to register to vote. Nearly half are African-American, a core constituency of Democrats, Mr. McAuliffe's political party.

Amid intensifying national attention over harsh sentencing policies that have disproportionately affected African-Americans, governors and legislatures around the nation have been debating — and often fighting over — moves to restore voting rights for convicted felons. Virginia imposes especially harsh restrictions, barring felons from voting for life.

RNC: FBI Continues to Investigate Clinton Foundation

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus reacted to FBI Director James Comey's letter on Sunday informing Congress the agency will not change its previous decision to not recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton in the e-mail probe.

Priebus released the following statement reminding voters the FBI continues to investigate the Clinton Foundation:

"The FBI's findings from its criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton's secret email server were a damning and unprecedented indictment of her judgment. The FBI found evidence Clinton broke the law, that she placed highly classified national security information at risk and repeatedly lied to the American people about her reckless conduct. None of this changes the fact that the FBI continues to investigate the Clinton Foundation for corruption involving her tenure as secretary of state. Hillary Clinton should never be president."

Clinton's amnesty for illegals to raise taxes $1.2 trillion, $15,000 per household

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 08:00 AM PST

Amnesty for illegal immigrants like a program proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton would require an immediate tax hike of $1.2 trillion, a $15,000 hit on every household in America, according to a new analysis of immigration reform.

The authoritative National Academy of Sciences said the cost to give some 11 million illegals citizenship rights would be staggering, though it suggested long-term benefits.

A Heritage Foundation analysis of the NAS study looked at just the impact amnesty would have and said that an immediate tax increase of $1.29 trillion would be needed to finance the infrastructure, school, welfare and other costs of illegals.

2 national tracking polls have Trump up

Donald leads Hillary by 2 and 5 points in latest surveys

WASHINGTON – Two national daily tracking polls show Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton by between 1 and 5.6 points in the latest surveys.

In the Los Angeles Times daily tacking poll, Trump has taken his largest lead yet in the campaign with a 5.6 percent edge – 48.2 to 42.6.

In the Investors Business Daily national tracking poll, which has proven to be the most accurate indicator in presidential elections since 2004, Trump has extended his lead over Hillary Clinton, 43 percent to 41 percent.

Trump's two-point lead now matches his largest so far during the 20 days of polling.

The IBD/TIPP poll results follow the "November surprise" from FBI Director James Comey, who announced Sunday he would not pursue the criminal investigation of Clinton for her email scandal.

Perhaps significantly, the L.A. Times poll shows the gender gap now hurts Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton/Donald Trump Cold Open - SNL

Want To Know Why Team Trump Has Been So Positive Of Late? Here's Why

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 07:37 AM PST

Call it, "cautiously optimistic"

Internal polling data is showing a remarkably strong trend in Donald Trump's favor over the last week. So much so, Team Trump has been quietly coming to terms with the remarkable prospect of this country's first 3rd Party candidate winning the presidency.

(That's right, Donald Trump is as much a 3rd Party/Independent candidate as he is a Republican.)

Call it, "cautiously optimistic" which is far better than the mood inside Team Trump just a month earlier when the same internal polling data was showing Hillary Clinton building what many thought might be an insurmountable advantage.

Word is, the Clinton campaign has all but given up on Ohio, and near to doing the same in Florida, with North Carolina looking suspect for Team Clinton as well.

Why?

First, the black vote is down considerably over 2012 numbers – numbers many of the Mainstream Media polls have been using as a template for their polling samples. Hillary Clinton was never going to get out the black vote like Barack Obama, and yet the polling firms continued to sample as if she were which resulted in Hillary polling better than she actually is.

Second, the white voter turnout is said to be up – BIG-TIME, and Trump leads among white voters over Hillary – BIG TIME.

Nate Silver Projects Trump Will Win Florida

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 07:23 AM PST

Political statistician Nate Silver officially projected that Republican nominee Donald Trump will win the highly influential swing state of Florida, according to an analysis published Sunday.

Trump has a 52 percent chance of winning Florida, compared to only a 48 percent chance for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the polls-only forecast published on 538. Trump made incredible progress in the state, coming up from a 22 percent chance as of Oct. 15. Clinton has fallen from a 78 percent chance of winning the state since Oct. 15.

Trump has been doing much better in the polls, according to 538's adjusted poll totals. The last two polls included in the analysis show the two candidates tied in the race, with Trump earning as much as a seven-point lead in a series of polls published last week.

Maryland will audit all votes cast in general election

Maryland will conduct a post-election audit of all of the votes cast in the general election.

The Maryland State Board of Elections has hired a Boston-based company, Clear Ballot, to conduct a performance audit of the paper ballot system the state adopted this year. State election officials said the audit is not the same as a recount.

According to Clear Ballot, Maryland will become the first state to audit 100 percent of the ballots cast in an election. The company said it would audit about 3 million votes over a two-day period.

Nikki Baines Charlson, the state's deputy elections administrator, said the audit will retabulate results from photographs taken of each ballot as they are fed into optical scanners at the state's polling stations. She said the paper ballots will not be counted as part of the audit.

Sigh: So Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aides had her housekeeper printing out classified e-mails and venturing into her home Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility to grab classified faxes, too. How many more shoes can drop, before or after Election Day?

The Clinton camp is already trumpeting FBI chief Jim Comey's report Sunday that nothing off the Anthony Weiner laptop changes his "no charges" finding from July. But other ugly facts keep surfacing.

In Sunday's Post, Paul Sperry fingered at least five classified e-mails handled by Clinton's maid. Material in the SCIF likely included Clinton's copies of the top-secret Presidential Daily Brief, prepared by the CIA and other intelligence agencies.

A former member of the Senate Armed Services Committee has to know dern well that such material isn't for the maid's eyes — and you don't let her in the "secure room."

Leaked Email Suggests Hillary Beat 'The Sh*t Out Of Punch Doll' Or Staffer To Warm Up For Interview

Hillary Clinton should "beat the sh*t out of a punch doll (or maybe a staffer)" to warm up for an upcoming interview, Clinton ally Neera Tanden suggested to Clinton campaign manager John Podesta last year, according to new WikiLeaks emails released Saturday.

"Have her beat the sh*t out of a punch doll (or maybe a staffer)…so she would be warm and charming in the interview," Tanden, president of the left-wing Center for American Progress, wrote in an email to Podesta.

Tanden's email is dated September 3, 2015 and titled "Ahead of Andrea – unsolicited advice."

Tanden likely dispatched the email in anticipation of Clinton's September 4, 2015 one-on-one interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell.

Video Evidence Of "Bill Clinton and Six Government Officials Taking Part In Sexual Acts With Minors" To Be Released Before Election

The 2016 Presidential election about to get even crazier.

Earlier this week Joe Joseph reported that recent Wikileaks point to the Clinton family having ties to a child porn abduction ring in Haiti. On top of that, emails appear to confirm that both Bill and Hillary Clinton previously joined convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein at his "sex slave island," with Fox News having confirmed that Former President Bill Clinton flew with Epstein on his private jet at least 20 times. As Fox News notes, the plane was outfitted with a bed where travellers would often engage in group sex.

The evidence of criminal activity identified via Anthony Wiener's laptop is so damning that the NYPD was preparing arrest warrants for a number of Clinton campaign officials. A Brietbart report indicates that the investigation was stifled earlier this week by the Justice Department after "huge pushback."

The Clinton Foundation’s $20 million off-the-books mystery

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 06:30 AM PST

The inner workings of a mysterious off-the-books arm of the Clinton Foundation were partially revealed in the hacked emails of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

The little-known Haiti Development Fund, an LLC incorporated in Delaware in August 2010, was created by the Clinton Foundation with an initial endowment of $20 million from shady Canadian mining mogul Frank Giustra and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim.

The Fund was supposed to supply desperately needed seed money to Haitian entrepreneurs after an earthquake devastated the country in January 2010.
But The Post found only one project that it funded with a fraction of the start-up cash.

Since the Fund is incorporated as a private entity and not a non-profit, it is not subject to the same disclosure rules as a public charity.

And the Clinton Foundation never disclosed the Fund as a "related entity" on its tax filings as required by IRS rules. It was only after the Clinton Foundation, under mounting scrutiny and media pressure, "voluntarily" decided to refile five years' worth of tax returns in 2015 that the Fund appears on the forms.

Obamacare Victims Revolt: 'We Don’t have that Kind of Money'

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 06:23 AM PST

Some users of Obamacare are finding the medical care they need to be too expensive to use due to high deductibles and high out-of-pocket costs.

Michelle Harris is one of those people. Harris, a 61-year-old retired waitress in northwest Montana, has arthritis in both shoulders but is doing everything she can to avoid seeing a doctor due to the $4,500 deductible and $338 a month in premiums under her Blue Cross Blue Shield plan.

"It hurts, but we don't have that kind of money," Harris said to Bloomberg Politics. "So I deal with it."

Some insurance plans under Obamacare are designed not to kick in until patients have spent thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs, which put many healthcare services out of reach for patients.

Even though the uninsured rate in America is at a record low, a study from the Commonwealth Fund found that four out of 10 adults in Obamacare plans aren't confident that they can pay their medical bills if they got sick, Bloomberg Politics reported.

"A lot of people are still one catastrophic illness away from really feeling the financial impact of this," said Jonathan Oberlander, a health policy professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. "They're underinsured, and that means they're not going to get all the services that they want or that they need."

Hillary Clinton Should be in Jail, Not the White House

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 06:15 AM PST

There is absolutely no reason anyone should still be "struggling" with the choice for President.

Voters do not have a choice between a perfect candidate and three others, but it is a national embarrassment that the Democrat candidate belongs in jail and not on the November ballot.

The only reason anyone should vote for Hillary Clinton on November 8 is give formal representation at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to the nation's criminal class. Clinton would indeed represent that class very well.

The scandal is that Hillary Clinton would already be in jail as the head of an international crime syndicate if she were not being protected by the media establishment and Obama's political operatives in the Department of Justice. The ferocity with which she is being defended despite her pubic record betrays the moral bankruptcy of too many of elites– not only in government but in the media, the universities, law firms and in the business community.

Does anyone need a list of her crimes and her national security fiascoes? Should we ask voters to print a list of known crimes to take with them to the polling booth as a reminder? Maybe the Trump campaign should publish in the top 50 newspapers a full page ad providing a simple list of the top 100 reasons to send HRC back to Arkansas — while she awaits her day in court.

Clinton directed her maid to print out classified materials

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 06:00 AM PST

As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton routinely asked her maid to print out sensitive government e-mails and documents — including ones containing classified information — from her house in Washington, DC, e-mails and FBI memos show. But the housekeeper lacked the security clearance to handle such material.

In fact, Marina Santos was called on so frequently to receive e-mails that she may hold the secrets to E-mailgate — if only the FBI and Congress would subpoena her and the equipment she used.

Clinton entrusted far more than the care of her DC residence, known as Whitehaven, to Santos. She expected the Filipino immigrant to handle state secrets, further opening the Democratic presidential nominee to criticism that she played fast and loose with national security.
Clinton would first receive highly sensitive e-mails from top aides at the State Department and then request that they, in turn, forward the messages and any attached documents to Santos to print out for her at the home.

Hillary Loses the Left

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 05:53 AM PST

While Donald Trump has been consolidating his base of support, the opposite appears to be happening for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who seems to be hemorrhaging supporters from her progressive base.

Clinton's long-running rift with the progressive left has been a vulnerability for her throughout her campaign — dating back to the Democratic primary.

Yet, in the closing days of the 2016 campaign, the rift has been laid bare through a combination of WikiLeaks revelations, a series of high-profile endorsements for Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein from progressives like Marc Lamont Hill, Cornel West, and Susan Sarandon, as well as polling data that suggests Trump's broad populist messaging is resonating with Democrat-leaning voters.

Contrary to the narrative perpetuated by corporate media, many prominent liberals are now expressing their belief that installing Hillary Clinton, a "corporatist hawk," in the White House is "the true danger" and would be "more dangerous" for progressive values, the well-being of the nation, and the stability of the world than would four years of a Donald Trump presidency.

"We Now Know Why Cheryl Didn't Want Hillary To Run"

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 05:45 AM PST

With just two full days left before Tuesday's election day, moments ago WikiLeaks unveiled it latest, Part 32 dump, of Podesta emails, which released another 2,073 emails, bringing the total to 52,481.

Saturday's release provided more incriminating evidence of illegal activity at the Clinton Foundation, which according to an internal 2008 audit, "must act immediately to bring the Foundation into compliance with the law and standards that govern not-for-profits", it also showed that Hillary's campaign was paying for Bill Clinton's legal fees, a transaction of questionable legality, as well as exposing a Bill Clinton speech in which he hinted that the system "is rigged" and that Hillary "deserves the White House.

In today's release, several emails stand out: one is a July 25, 2015 email from John Podesta to Neera Tanden, in which we get the continuation of the infamous "drawn and quartered thread." Recall that on October 27, we showed an email in which Tander blasted Hillary's decision to have a private server as follows:

Do we actually know who told Hillary she could use a private email? And has that person been drawn and quartered?

Today we get Podesta's response, in which he says that as a result of the server revelations "At least we now know why Cheryl didn't want her to run."

Charles Ortel: Clinton Foundation Is Largest Charity Fraud

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 05:30 AM PST

Wall Street investment analyst Charles Ortel called the Clinton Foundation "the largest unprosecuted charity fraud ever attempted" before all the newly-exposed emails from campaign chairman John Podesta's account were released from WikiLeaks.

The leaks have fortified his findings. The Wall Street investment analyst, who retired at 46 and prides himself on researching complex problems like General Electric and the credit crisis, has been fly-specking the Clinton Foundation since the spring of 2015.

Ortel explains why he believes the Clinton Foundation is a "crooked charity cooking the books" with over $2 billion dollars in revenue, in this exclusive video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Clintons, according to Ortel, have figured out how to turn their public service into a business. This charity is "a perfect gathering place and a front" to act as if you are helping others, when in fact they bring powerful people together, concocting deals and making people rich, including the Clintons, Ortel says.

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 05:23 AM PST

The Democratic National Committee helped CNN anchors Wolf Blizter and Jake Tapper prepare for interviews with Donald Trump, the latest WikiLeaks email dump has revealed.

Among the batch of 8,263 emails released on Sunday night, one shows that staff working for the network hosts asked DNC staffers what questions they should put to the Republican candidate.

They also asked for advice when it came to an appearance from former candidate, Ted Cruz.

An email dated April 28 entitled 'Cruz on CNN' reads 'CNN is looking for questions. Please send some topical/interesting ones.'

That email was sent from DNC research director Lauren Dillon to other officials and staffers.

Days before that, on April 25 she asked for questions from officials and staffers for an interview that CNN's Wolf Blitzer would be conducting with Trump.

Trump: 'Now it's up to the American people to deliver justice'

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 05:15 AM PST

Donald Trump urged voters Sunday to "deliver justice at the ballot box" on Election Day, hours after the FBI announced that its review of newly discovered emails did not change its earlier conclusion to not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton.

Trump, speaking at a rally here, did not directly refer to FBI Director James Comey's announcement. But his remarks amounted to his first public response to the decision, and the Republican nominee argued that Clinton is "guilty" of federal crimes and said a "rigged" system was protecting Clinton.

"Hillary Clinton is guilty. She knows it, the FBI knows it, the people know it, and now it's up to the American people to deliver justice at the ballot box on November 8," Trump said.

Clinton-Obama officials negotiated for jobs with Clinton-connected Teneo while agency subsidized Teneo client Dow

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 05:00 AM PST

Three top President Obama appointees to the Export-Import Bank were negotiating to join Teneo, the Clinton-connected consulting firm, at the same time a Teneo client was lining up for itself the largest subsidy Ex-Im has ever given out, emails reveal.

Ex-Im emails, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, also show Ex-Im officials asking (and occasionally obtaining) favors from Teneo co-founder Doug Band in his roles at the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative.

The emails, released by Ex-Im in response to a FOIA request made by MapLight reporter Andrew Perez, show no evidence of an explicit quid pro quo, and there's no reason to posit one. Instead, the emails reveal the intimate entanglement of the powerful in government, industry and the nonprofit world, especially in Clinton circles.

The Players: Ex-Im, Varney, McAdams and Morin

Source: FBI has evidence Hillary visited ‘Orgy Island’

Posted: 07 Nov 2016 04:30 AM PST

Huma Abedin said to be cooperating with investigators

Citing a "well-placed source" in the New York Police Department, Blackwater USA founder and retired Navy SEAL Erik Prince claims that among the 650,000 Huma Abedin emails on her estranged husband's laptop is evidence Hillary Clinton, as well as former President Bill Clinton, was a visitor to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's Caribbean hideaway, known as "Orgy Island."

Prince told the Breitbart News Daily radio show that Abedin and her estranged husband, former Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, are now cooperating with authorities in multiple investigations of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

"They found State Department emails," he said of FBI investigators. "They found a lot of other really damning criminal information, including money laundering, including the fact that Hillary went to this sex island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton went there more than 20 times. Hillary Clinton went there at least six times."

In May, FoxNews.com reported Bill Clinton was a much more frequent flyer on Epstein's infamous Boeing 727 "Lolita Express" jet than previously reported.
