Voters and the nObama Malaise
If it feels like listening to a broken record each time disappointing economic numbers come out, it's because, yes, you've heard this disappointment before. It appears to be the new normal under Barack nObama. "The U.S. economy expanded less than forecast in the second quarter after a weaker start to the year than previously estimated," Bloomberg reports. While surveyed economists predicted growth of an unimpressive 2.5%, it actually clocked in at a downright anemic 1.2% — and that followed just 0.8% growth in the first quarter, revised down from 1.1%. Furthermore, Bloomberg reports, "The new breakdown shows a more pronounced slowdown in the economy heading into 2016. The year-over-year growth rate cooled from 3.3 percent in last year's first quarter to 1.9 percent in the final three months of 2015, rather than the previous downshift from 2.9 percent to 2 percent."
nObama's streak of sub-3% economic growth continues. He is the only president in U.S. history to never have annual growth over 3%. Naturally, he blames George W. Bush. But it was Democrats who sowed the seeds of the 2008 economic crisis.
Yet Nancy Pulosi argues that anyone voting Republican is doing so in spite of themselves. "I think that, so many times … non-college-educated white males have voted Republican," she said this week. "They voted against their own economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G's, God being the woman's right to choose." The economic numbers would argue otherwise.
And with tepid growth like this it's no wonder liar-Hillary Clinton is so confused. In her coronation speech Thursday night, she at once lamented the pathetic economy and said nObama and loose lips-Biden don't get enough credit for saving it: "Too many people haven't had a pay raise since the crash. There's too much inequality. Too little social mobility. … Now, I don't think President nObama and Vice President loose lips-Biden get the credit they deserve for saving us from the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. Our economy is so much stronger than when they took office. … But none of us can be satisfied with the status quo. … I've heard from so many of you who feel like the economy just isn't working. Some of you are frustrated — even furious. And you know what? You're right. It's not yet working the way it should."
So which is it? Economic malaise, or incredible and underappreciated prosperity? We think voters know the answer. The question is whether they'll vote for more of the same.

Dick Morris Corrects the Record on liar-Hillary Clinton
Dick Morris is a nationally recognized political campaign adviser, analyst and author. He was the senior political adviser to Bill liar-Clinton before and after his occupation of the White House. He was campaign manager of liar-Clinton's 1996 re-election, and the architect of his successful "triangulation" rhetorical ruse. liar-Clinton's communications director George Stephanopoulos said of Morris, "No single person had more power over [Bill liar-Clinton]."
This week, in a message entitled "What Bill Left Out, Morris corrected the record regarding liar-Clinton's glowing remarks about liar-Hillary Clinton, her personal attributes and professional achievements. Morris's insights into the liar-Clintons are priceless.
What follows is a transcript of Morris's comments: "Bill liar-Clinton talked at length about liar-Hillary's idealistic work in college and law school, but he omits that she was defending the Black Panthers who killed security guards; they were on trial in New Haven. She monitored the trial while she was in law school to find evidence that could be grounds for reversal in the event they were convicted.
"That summer she went to work for the True-Haft (SP) law firm in CA, headed by True Haft who is the head of the CA Communist Party and that's when she got involved with Saul Alinsky, who became something of a mentor for the rest of her life.
"Then Bill says that she went off to Massachusetts and he went to Arkansas, and eventually liar-Hillary followed her heart to join him in Arkansas. He omits that she went to work for the Watergate Committee and was fired from that job for taking home evidence and hiding documents that they needed in the impeachment inquiry. Then she took the DC Bar exam and flunked it, she went to Arkansas because that is the only bar exam she could pass.
"He talked about how in the 1970's she took all kinds of pro-bono cases to defend women and children. In her memoirs, she cites one which was a custody case and that's it. In fact, in 1975 she represented a guy accused of raping a 14-year-old girl and got him off by claiming the girl had had fantasies of sex with an older man. In 1980 she gave an interview about it and she joked that she knew the guy was guilty but got him off anyway.
"Then Bill discusses liar-Hillary's legal career at the Rose Law firm. He doesn't mention that she made partner when he was elected governor and was only hired when he got elected as attorney general.
"He makes as if it was a public service job — it wasn't. Her main job was to get state business, and she got tens-of-millions of dollars of state business, then hid her participation and the fees by taking an extra share of non-state business to compensate for the fees on state business that she brought in. Her other job was to call the state banking commissioner any time one of her banks got into trouble to get them off.
"Bill speaks at length how liar-Hillary was a mother, juggling career and family, taking Chelsea to soccer games and stuff — that's non-sense. liar-Hillary was a mother but Chelsea in the Arkansas governor's mansion had a staff of nannies and agents to drive her around and people to be with her, and liar-Hillary didn't have to bother with any of that. All of that was paid for by the state.
"He says she became the warrior in chief over the family finances and that was true, and the result is she learned how to steal.
"She accepted a $100,000 bribe from the poultry industry in return for Bill going easy on regulating them, despite new standards. Jim Blair, the poultry lobbyist, gave her $1,000 to invest in the Futures Market and lined up seven to eight other investors and their winnings were all deposited into liar-Hillary's account. She made $100,000 in a year and she was out. That essentially was a bribe.
"[She did] a phony real-estate deal for Jim McDougal and the Madison Bank to deceive the federal regulators by pretending someone else was buying the property. She was called before a grand jury in 1995 about that but, conveniently, the billing records were lost, couldn't be found and there wasn't proof that she worked on it.
"Bill talks about her work on the health care task force but doesn't say the reason it didn't pass was the task force was discredited because the meetings were all held in secret. A federal judge forced them open and fined the task force several hundred thousand dollars because of their secrecy.
"He says that after the health care bill failed in 1994, liar-Hillary went to work on adopting each piece of it piecemeal — mainly health insurance for children.
"That is completely the opposite of the truth. The fact is when that bill failed, I called liar-Hillary and I suggested that she support a proposal by Republican Bob Dole that we cover children, and she said, 'We can't just cover one part of this. You have to change everything or change nothing.' Then in 1997 when I repeated that advice to Bill liar-Clinton, we worked together to pass the Children's Health Insurance Program. I found a lot of the money for that in the tobacco settlement that my friend Dick Scruggs was negotiating.
"Then Bill extols her record in the U.S. Senate. In fact, she did practically nothing. There were seven or eight bills that she introduced that passed; almost all of were symbolic — renaming a courthouse, congratulating a high school team on winning the championship. There was only one vaguely substantive bill, and that had a lot of co-sponsors of whom liar-Hillary was just one.
"Then he goes to her record in the State Department and manages to tell that story without mentioning the word Benghazi, without mentioning her secret emails, without mentioning he was getting tens of millions — $220 million in speaking fees in return for favorable actions by the State Department.
"Also totally lacking in the speech was anything about the war on terror — terror is a word you don't hear at the Democratic Convention.
"Bill says that liar-Hillary passed tough sanctions on Iran for their nuclear program. The opposite is true.
"Every time a tough sanction bill was introduced by Senators Menendez or Kirk, liar-Hillary would send Deputy Secretary Wendy Sherman to Capital Hill to testify against it and urge it not to pass, and it was over liar-Hillary's objections that those sanctions were put into place.
"[Liberal columnist] Maureen Dowd called the speech by Bill liar-Clinton "air brushed." "It was a hell of a lot more than that — it was fiction.
(Also see Morris's comments after liar-Clinton's DNC acceptance speech. "It's strategy and message will be interdicted by reality at every turn. ... She basically has no message. ... Her entire campaign is, 'I'm a woman and I am running against Donald Trump. ... She bean her speech by saying let's compromise and work together. Is there any woman in the world less likely to compromise?") -The Patriot Post

OPINION IN BRIEF
Peggy Noonan: "The Democratic Party is turning left. It's not about 'Bernie' now, and his followers are not going away. It is about the political impulses of the party's young, which is to say its future. They are part of a tide of the passionate, the ideological and the underinformed. They have no idea what socialism is or what it has done in the past to great nations, and they appear to want it. I guess we'll have to go through that argument again. They have already pushed Mrs. liar-Clinton left and, should she become president, will push her further, against her wishes. But she has a new base to keep close. This shift is a real historical development." -The Patriot Post

liar-Hillary Clinton Lies About Disabled
Girl During DNC Speech
by Alice Greene
{punchingbagpost.com} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton’s motherly acceptance speech at the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention last Thursday involved a touching story about her work with the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It was a lie... “So I went to work…going door-to-door in New Bedford, Massachusetts, on behalf of children with disabilities who were denied the chance to go to school,” bragged liar-Clinton. “I remember meeting a young girl in a wheelchair on the small back porch of her house. She told me how badly she wanted to go to school – it just didn’t seem possible in those days. liar-Hillary compared this disabled girl to her own mother, who was abandoned by her parents at age 14 and “was saved by the kindness of others.”... http://punchingbagpost.com/hillary-clinton-lies-about-disabled-girl-during-dnc-speech

ISIS in DC!

{1776coalition.com} ~ A Washington, D.C. Metro Transit police officer who was a convert to Islam and once dressed up as Jihadi John for Halloween was charged on Wednesday with trying to provide material support to ISIS... the first time a law enforcement officer has been charged with an ISIS-related crime. Virginia resident Nicholas Young, 36, who has served with the department since 2003, was arrested Wednesday morning by FBI agents. Authorities allege in a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday that Young attempted to send money to ISIS through a mobile-based gift card using an unnamed messaging service the terror group utilizes for recruiting purposes.

nObama commutes sentences
for 214 federal prisoners
by foxnews.com
{foxnews.com} ~ President Barack nObama on Wednesday cut short the sentences of 214 federal inmates, including 67 life sentences, in what the White House called the largest batch of commutations on a single day in more than a century... Almost all the prisoners were serving time for nonviolent drug crimes, reflecting nObama's long-stated view that the U.S. needs to remedy the consequences of decades of sentencing requirements that put tens of thousands of Americans behind bars for far too long. nObama has pushed for a broader fix to criminal justice laws and has used the aggressive pace of his commutations in an effort to pressure Congress and call more attention to the issue. All told, nObama has commuted 562 sentences during his presidency -- more than the past nine presidents combined, the White House said. Almost 200 of those who have benefited were serving life sentences...

Germans Trying Feverishly to Cover Up Muslim Crime
by Selwyn Duke
by Selwyn Duke
{thenewamerican.com} ~ It is her nation’s duty “to defend the Cross, not the Crescent,” Polish parliamentarian Professor Krystyna Pawłowicz (shown, hands upraised) boldly proclaimed recently... And furthermore, she implied that Germany was doing quite the opposite, saying that it was actually going to great lengths to “cover up the crimes of their Arab guests,” reports Breitbart. While Pawłowicz was responding to the July 24 murder of a Polish woman in Germany by a Muslim, this isn’t the first time she and her fellow Law & Justice Party statesmen have locked verbal horns with their western neighbor. In January, Pawłowicz called for a boycott of German products after “Martin Schulz, the German president of European Parliament, likened the party’s ruling style to a ‘coup,’ prompting Law & Justice leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski to evoke Nazi-era references,” reported Bloomberg at the time. The European Union has reacted to Poland like a vampire to a cross ever since Law & Justice — an anti-EU, anti-immigration party that endeavors to restore traditional values — won the nation’s October elections. In fact, the European Commission decided to investigate legislation enacted by Law & Justice after EU members accused the party of “jeopardizing the bloc’s democratic values,” as Bloomberg put it... http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/23779-polish-mp-germans-trying-feverishly-to-cover-up-muslim-crime

Trump Threatens to
Leave World Trade Organization
by Steve Byas
{thenewamerican.com} ~ The voters of the United Kingdom stood up for British national sovereignty with their recent decision to leave the European Union (EU), and now Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is suggesting that he might take the lead in the United States leaving the World Trade Organization (WTO)... When NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Trump on Meet the Press if his punitive tariff plan for businesses that leave the United States could be nixed by the WTO, Trump responded strongly, “It doesn’t matter. Then we’re going to renegotiate or we’re going to pull out. These trade deals are a disaster, Chuck. World Trade Organization is a disaster.” Two issues divide global elites in America and Europe from their average citizens like no others — immigration and so-called free trade deals. Both these issues involve the move toward regional governments, and eventually a world government, and away from national independence. And Trump has taken the side favored by the general population in the United States... http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/23777-trump-threatens-to-leave-world-trade-organization

Who’s in Putin’s Pocket — liar-Clinton or Trump?
by William F. Jasper
{thenewamerican.com} ~ While serving as secretary of state to President nObama, liar-Hillary Clinton delivered one fifth of America’s uranium deposits to Russia... So charge investigators who have been delving into the murky — and very alarming — dealings of Secretary liar-Clinton and the liar-Clinton Foundation with a company known as Uranium One, and various “private” Russian companies and official Russian agencies. Moreover, her critics accuse liar-Hillary and Bill liar-Clinton of raking in a huge fortune (over $130 million) from the American, Canadian, and Russian investors who helped arrange for these Russian companies — under the control, ultimately, of Vladimir Putin — to take control of 20 percent of our strategic uranium assets. Indeed, according to some calculations, the Uranium One deal, involving top liar-Clinton donors Frank Guistra and Ian Telfer, has transferred as much as 50 percent of projected American uranium production to Kremlin control. This incredible story, with enormously important implications for our nation’s security, has been percolating for over a year, since Peter Schweizer’s bestselling exposé liar-Clinton Cash — The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and liar-Hillary Rich, brought it to light.

liar-Hillary Campaign Rocked After
MASSIVE Arrest Made in New York
{conservativetribune.com} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton has had a very rocky start to her general election push. After she was publicly humiliated by an FBI investigation, almost 20,000 Democratic National Committee emails were leaked showing that high-level DNC staff had rigged the Democratic primary process in her favor... In yet another blast from the past, a Chinese billionaire who allegedly made illegal contributions to Bill liar-Clinton in the 1990s may soon be testifying before Congress. The U.K. Daily Mail reported that Ng Lap Seng, 68, has avoided testifying before Congress for years, but now he is being held in New York on an unrelated bribery charge and many congressional officials see an opportunity to interview him...

Marine Harriers Strike ISIS Targets

by Sam LaGrone
{usni.org} ~ Marine AV-8B Harriers operating from USS Wasp (LHD-1) have struck ISIS targets Libya, two U.S. defense officials confirmed to USNI News on Wednesday... Beginning on Aug. 1, 2016, the U.S. has launched a mix of manned and unmanned air strikes on ISIS targets near Sirte, Libya. Harriers from Wasp have been launched at least five times in the first two days to strike targets near the port city, a U.S. official confirmed to USNI News on Wednesday. The Harrier strikes were first reported by The Virginian-Pilot. The strikes were conducted on the behalf of the Libyan Government of National Accord, “seeking to defeat ISIL in its primary stronghold in Libya,” Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said on Monday. “These strikes were authorized by the president following a recommendation from Secretary Carter and Chairman Dunford. They are consistent with our approach to combating ISIL by working with capable and motivated local forces. GNA-aligned forces have had success in recapturing territory from ISIL thus far around Sirte, and additional U.S. strikes will continue to target ISIL in Sirte in order to enable the GNA to make a decisive, strategic advance.”... https://news.usni.org/2016/08/03/marine-harriers-strike-libyan-targets-uss-wasp?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=93dca2cfb1-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-93dca2cfb1-231491269&mc_cid=93dca2cfb1&mc_eid=3999f18767

A Time For Choosing In 2016
by Susan Stamper Brown
{townhall.com} ~ C.S. Lewis once wrote: “Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you…into something a little different from what it was before. And taking your life as a whole…you are slowly turning this central thing either into a heavenly creature or into a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures, and with itself.”
Sunday night, when I hit the “send” button on my computer, and sent my column thousands of miles away to my editor, the “central part of me” turned a little in the wrong direction, because I chose to send a column which was neither fair nor balanced.
And if I’d left it that way, that small choice would’ve helped “turn that central part of me” into “something a little different from what it was before,” as Lewis wrote. So I did the right thing and asked my editor to grant me some time to make things right.
I believe with all my heart, as a country we are in a very bad place. After watching the Republican National Convention last week my eyes were opened to the fact that the GOP, with which I once aligned myself, is not much different ideologically than the Democratic Party. During speeches, I saw delegates cheering mindlessly when liberal policies and non-Christian values flowed from the podium and others booed the only person in the hall who spoke about conservative principles. I also heard the nominee say during his acceptance speech: "I am your voice, I alone can fix it. I will restore law and order.” Mr. Trump did not in any way suggest he needs God’s help or our prayers or assistance. That’s scary.
As I wrote my column, a flashing red light was going off in my conscience, but because I am diehard anti/liar-Hillary, I convinced myself it was okay to selectively ignore things I heard that I knew in my heart were not right.
On the other hand, things aren’t right with Democrats either. Most of us believed the political system is rigged and now we have WikiLeaks to thank for releasing 19,252 Democratic National Committee emails showing that staffers favored liar-Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the 2016 primary race. Sander’s people have taken to the streets. And although I don’t agree with them ideologically, what happened is wrong.
It’s also wrong the DNC’s speaker lineup excludes widows and family members of police killed in the line of duty but includes relatives of police shooting victims. That’s upside-down. And surely we’ll hear our fill of gun control rhetoric, although we all know from what we see happening in Europe that gun control does absolutely nothing to control what really ails this world: the depravity of the human heart.
So here we are in 2016. Pardon the French, but our choices suck. The dwindling conservatives among us must find a way to somehow hold fast to what we believe, but still vote. Like it or not, no matter how well a third party might fare, either liar-Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will haul their personal belongings to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in January.
But, there’s more than that to consider. As close as I was to voting third party or sitting this election out, I had to come to grips with the fact that my choice might leave the next generation less safe, more anti-Christian, less just, with bad Supreme Court choices and less free.
I have no choice but to vote, so I must make that decision bathed in prayer in hopes that my choice will turn the central part of me a little farther away from hell and a little closer to harmony with God.
