 liar-Hillary's Unhealthy Credibility

As we reported Sunday, liar-Hillary Clinton was filmed collapsing after leaving early from that morning's 9/11 memorial tribute. The initial explanation released by her campaign was that she had become overheated. Hours later, the narrative changed as liar-Hillary emerged from her daughter's apartment waving and declaring that she felt great. It was then revealed that liar-Clinton had been diagnosed with pneumonia by her doctor on Friday, two days prior to her collapse.
          Before this latest episode, questions about the status of liar-Hillary's health had been met by her campaign with accusations of unsubstantiated "conspiracy" theories or with dismissive references to minor dehydration issues. Bill liar-Clinton unhelpfully suggested such dehydration happened "frequently — not frequently, rarely but on more than one occasion." In any case, what has become increasingly evident is that liar-Clinton, similar to her responses to questions regarding her private email scandal and her involvement in Benghazi, opts for obfuscation rather than transparency every time.
          Donald Trump declared that he will release his medical records and that liar-Hillary should follow suit. But yesterday, when liar-Hillary was questioned by CNN's Anderson Cooper as to why she had not revealed her pneumonia diagnosis sooner, her response was once again to deflect. She said, "Well, I just didn't think it was going to be that big a deal." All her explanation has done is fuel speculations that she is hiding some other more significant health issue. liar-Hillary's instinct to cover up rather than be open and honest effectively turned a minor news incident into a major campaign problem. As Charles Krauthammer noted, "[T]his is another case of the cover-up being worse than the crime." And her handling of this latest issue only serves as further evidence that her credibility is what's truly unhealthy.  ~The Patriot Post

 NFL Throws the White Flag 
2016-09-10-62193e60_large.jpg
This past weekend, a weekend on which we as a nation remembered those who 15 years ago died in the worst terrorist attack America has ever endured, witnessed both displays of respect and foolish insult. Appropriately, many gathered in solemn reflection at the 9/11 memorials at both the Pentagon and World Trade Center. It was a time to reflect upon how suddenly our nation was challenged by evil and changed in response to that challenge. However, there are those who through willful ignorance based on Leftist elitism deem our great nation too flawed to show even the most basic respect and honor. A nation which offers its citizens more rights and opportunity than most other peoples throughout history are privileged to experience.
          This ignorant elitism was on display at several NFL football stadiums on Sunday and again Monday night as several players refused to stand for the national anthem, choosing to kneel or raise their fists in protest. This ignorant elitism wasn't confined to the sidelines, either, but was pushed by even NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who when questioned about the appropriateness of players refusing to stand said, "You know, we encourage our players to be respectful. We want them to do this so. But they also have rights. And we have to respect that." How does one even know what constitutes "respect" from that comment?
          Obviously, players are entitled to their various opinions as are all Americans, but the NFL as a private enterprise is fully within its rights to discipline players for conduct it views as inappropriate. A recent example is Goodell's four-game suspension of Tom Brady for "deflate gate." Or, if you prefer ironic contrast, the NFL on Sunday stuck to its strict uniform policy and would not allow players to wear shoes that were "patriotic" in design and color as a tribute to the 9/11 fallen.
          The bottom line is that the NFL has become so blinded by its growing desire to adhere to leftist ideology that it cannot even recognize the hypocrisy of its own statements.  ~The Patriot Post

liar-Hillary Caught Using A Body Double
by Patrick Mankin
{absoluterights.com} ~ We are being lied to on an epic scale. She actually used a body double and expected that no one would notice… I’ve already gone into the reasons why that is nothing but a blatant lie. What happened after is an entirely different level of strange. In the video, you see a very healthy and even younger looking “liar-Hillary Clinton” emerge from her daughter’s apartment acting looking normal as if nothing happened to her at all. Again, not the look of someone with the infectious disease pneumonia...  http://absoluterights.com/hillary-caught-using-body-double/

{frontpagemag.com} ~ Last week North Korea conducted its fifth nuclear test, this one a 10-kiloton, miniaturized warhead that can be put on a missile. If North Korean claims are true, this successful test, along with the 20 long-range missile tests conducted this year... shows that a rogue thug state is on the brink of being able to send a nuclear-tipped missile as far as Chicago. President nObama responded with the usual empty diplomatic bluster, threatening “additional significant steps, including new sanctions to demonstrate to North Korea that there are consequences to its unlawful and dangerous actions.”  Once again, the magical thinking of international diplomacy puts our national interests and security in mortal danger. We’re well beyond a century’s worth of the delusional idealism of what historian Corelli Barnett calls “moralizing internationalism.” This is the notion that non-violent diplomatic “engagement,” economic sanctions, and transnational covenants and institutions like the U.N. can deter or stop aggression without a credible threat to use force...  http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/264146/north-korea-and-delusions-international-diplomacy-bruce-thornton

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ United Nations data shows that the Taliban’s power in Afghanistan has reached the highest point since its regime was overthrown by the US-led invasion in 2001... This is a massive failure for President nObama, who centered his re-election campaign on ending the war by 2014. According to a UN report obtained by the New York Times, more than 50% of Afghanistan is rated as having a “substantial, high, or extreme level of risk…more than at any time since the American invasion ousted the Taliban in 2001.” This announcement followed the evacuation of four UN provincial offices in September 2015 – the biggest evacuation the UN has ever conducted in response to a security threat...  http://punchingbagpost.com/afghanistan-taliban-insurgency-at-worst-point-since-2001

{thenewamerican.com} ~ Yet another top military leader for the Islamic State, or ISIS, was exposed as having been trained by the U.S. government — this one as recently as 2014 and on American soil... according to media reports confirmed as accurate by the U.S. State Department. The ISIS military leader also said in a video that he was secretly trained in Russia. The terror leader in question, Colonel Gulmurod Khalimov, who is originally of Tajikistan, is the new “minister of war” for ISIS, according to Iraq News and other sources. He took over ISIS forces after the previous U.S. government-trained ISIS military chief, Tarkhan Batirashvili (a.k.a. Abu Omar al Shishani), was reportedly killed. U.S. authorities said Khalimov, the 41-year-old new ISIS military chief, received “appropriate vetting” prior to his advanced military and terror training by the U.S. State Department, including during the terms of liar-Hillary Clinton and John hanoi-Kerry. The former Tajik official's involvement with ISIS apears to have been first reported by CNN last year, before he became “minister of war” for the terror group...

{wnd.com} ~ The arrest of the head of global foreign exchange cash trading at HSBC bank may shed new light on suspicions the liar-Clinton Foundation has been involved in illegal offshore money-laundering operations on a massive scale... The investigation into HSBC currency trader Mark Johnson and associate Stuart Scott for their alleged role in a “conspiracy to rig currency benchmarks” by front-running customer orders has escalated to the point where the Department of Justice is threatening to tear up a 2012 agreement to fine HSBC a historic $1.9 billion for money-laundering violations in lieu of criminal prosecutions. At issue is whether or not HSBC has honored the 2012 deferred-prosecution agreement in which the bank agreed to establish internal review procedures to catch and punish potentially criminal activities by employees...  http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/hsbc-case-blows-lid-on-clintons-offshore-empire/

{thecommonsenseshow.com} ~ Why did the Chinese call for gun control after Sandy Hook? Why did the Chinese hack into the VA and steal the names and addresses of 21 veterans? Simple, they need to disarm America as much as possible before they invade... As Steve Quayle and I have both reported, why are Chinese, under the cover of the UN, being spotted in Virginia, Texas and Arizona. Answer: They are are already here. The time is near. We already know that the United Nations is preparing to seize your guns. Will the Chinese military be the vanguard force in the effort to seize American guns? A very simple dot connecting exercise would suggest that will be the case...  http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2016/09/14/the-chinese-military-buildup-on-american-soil/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-chinese-military-buildup-on-american-soil

{thecommonsenseshow.com} ~ While liar-Hillary is being looked at for Parkinson’s, there is an unanswered question as to regard to her mental health... Is liar-Hillary Clinton mentally ill? We call her a sociopath and a psychopath. But is she?  Modern psychologists say that she suffers from Anti-Social Personality Disorder. What does that mean with regard to her leadership. What would a Presidency look like with regard to liar-Clinton’s mental health? The results of this mental health summary of liar-Clinton are frightening. The United States of America is presently undergoing a mental health crisis. An estimated 26.2% of Americans ages 18 and older suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. This figure translates to almost 60 million people who have a diagnosable mental illness. Even though mental disorders are widespread within the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion, which is confined to about 6% of the population, or about 1 in 17 who suffer from a serious mental illness. In nearly half (45%) of those with any mental disorder, they meet criteria for two or more disorders. In the U.S., mental disorders are diagnosed based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-V)...

{israelnationalnews.com} ~ In an op-ed written by former Prime Minister Ehud Barak that was published Wednesday in the Washington Post, Barak slammed the Prime Minister’s leadership, describing the level of mistrust between the United States and Israel... “Israel will receive $3.8 billion a year,” Barak wrote, referring to yesterday’s agreement, “an important contribution to our security but far less than what could have been obtained before the prime minister chose to blatantly interfere with U.S. politics.” Barak explained that this agreement is indicative of the level of mistrust between Prime Minister Netanyahu and the American administration and criticized the deal itself saying, “given the more than 20 percent cumulative rise in the cost of arms since the last 10-year agreement entered into force (in 2007), the newly agreed-upon amount represents no greater purchasing power - and even these funds will be conditioned on Israel refraining from requesting additional funding from Congress. Accentuating the degree of mistrust, according to new details reported Wednesday, the administration secured an Israeli written commitment to return any additional money that Congress might provide. In the past, Congress has added - with White House consent - $600 million to $700 million every year for Iron Dome and other defense systems.”... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/217844

{dailysignal.com} ~ President Barack nObama will be speaking this week for the last time during his presidency to annual dinners for black and Hispanic members of Congress, even as his record for the two largest minority groups in the country is at best questionable... based on government numbers. A Census Bureau report this week found wages have climbed back to pre-recession levels in 2015, including for blacks and Hispanics. However, throughout nObama’s two terms, the highest unemployment rates continue to be among African-Americans and Hispanics, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The president’s policies haven’t helped either group, said Horace Cooper, co-chairman of Project 21, a black conservative group...How is nObama's approval rating higher then as its ever been before? Something smell fishy to me.  http://dailysignal.com/2016/09/14/how-hispanics-blacks-have-fared-in-obama-economy/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTVRKbVlXWmpNVFE1WmpnNCIsInQiOiJVMXZqZ1hIOGZVN05sMEtTZzFnUkhMd3U0WlkwSXpcL1lGbmlcL0NhOEFVY0pzb1pic3JtWE1RalFBTHRVYUR1cUVsYUxLVW0ydElRVnRrTmgwYk4xNGhuK2ozcWM5VW9vbzVnYk02UzQ5dWdVPSJ9

Living With The Dialectic

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ For devotees of Marxist-Leninist dialectical materialism the world is in motion and "progress" occurs through struggles. It follows the Hegelian principle that an evolving thesis morphs into anti-thesis resulting in synthesis... Thus history is not the unfolding of spirit or individual intervention, but of class struggle through violent revolution which is inexorable. Since all things contain within themselves internal contradictions, which are the primary cause of motion, they ipso facto possess the seeds of their own destruction. Hence the strategy for historical evolution is using the existing methods of free will to undermine freedom. For example, applying the freedom of expression guaranteed by the First Amendment allows for the expression of a theory on which free speech is not permitted. It is noteworthy that Black Lives Matter has been united with the Muslim Brotherhood in attacking the state of Israel since both of these organizations, intolerant of oppositional positions, employ the Constitution to brow-beat the American public, an almost classic use of the dialectic. Recently George Soros' Open Society Justice Initiative called for international regulation of private decisions on what information should be taken off the internet and what should remain. It is ironic - in an Orwellian sense - that an "open society" is calling for a closed society. Presumably there are those in Washington or perhaps in George Soros' circle who are best prepared to tell us what should be on the internet...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/living-with-the-dialectic?f=must_reads

Incident in Hangzhou
by Charles Krauthammer

{freedomsback.com} ~ The president of the United States lands with all the majesty of Air Force One, waiting to exit the front door and stride down the rolling staircase to the red-carpeted tarmac. Except that there is no rolling staircase. He is forced to exit — as one China expert put it rather undiplomatically — through “the ass” of the plane.

This happened Saturday at Hangzhou airport. Yes, in China. If the Chinese didn’t invent diplomatic protocol, they surely are its most venerable and experienced practitioners. They’ve been at it for 4,000 years. They are the masters of every tributary gesture, every nuance of hierarchical ritual. In a land so exquisitely sensitive to protocol, rolling staircases don’t just disappear at arrival ceremonies. Indeed, not one of the other G-20 world leaders was left stranded on his plane upon arrival.

Did President Xi Jinping directly order airport personnel and diplomatic functionaries to deny Barack nObama a proper welcome? Who knows? But the message, whether intentional or not, wasn’t very subtle. The authorities expressed no regret, no remorse and certainly no apology. On the contrary, they scolded the press for even reporting the snub.

No surprise. China’s ostentatious rudeness was perfectly reflective of the world’s general disdain for President nObama. His high-minded lectures about global norms and demands that others live up to their “international obligations” are no longer amusing. They’re irritating.

Foreign leaders have reciprocated by taking this administration down a notch knowing they pay no price. In May 2013, Vladimir Putin reportedly kept the U.S. secretary of state cooling his heels for three hours outside his office before deigning to receive him. Even as nObama was hailing the nuclear deal with Iran as a great breakthrough, the ayatollah vowed “no change” in his policy, which remained diametrically opposed to “U.S. arrogant system.” The mullahs followed by openly conducting illegal ballistic missile tests — calculating, correctly, that nObama would do nothing. And when Iran took prisoner 10 American sailors in the Persian Gulf, made them kneel and broadcast the video, what was the U.S. response? Upon their release, John hanoi-Kerry publicly thanked Iran for its good conduct.

Why should Xi treat nObama with any greater deference? Beijing illegally expands into the South China Sea, meeting only the most perfunctory pushback from the U.S. nObama told CNN that he warned Xi to desist or “there will be consequences.” Is there a threat less credible?

Putin annexes Crimea and nObama crows about the isolation he has imposed on Russia. Look around. Moscow has become Grand Central Station for Middle East leaders seeking outside help in their various conflicts. As for Ukraine, both the French president and the German chancellor have hastened to Moscow to plead with Putin to make peace. Some isolation.

Iran regularly harasses our vessels in the Persian Gulf. Russian fighters buzzed a U.S. destroyer in the Baltic Sea. And just Wednesday, a Russian fighter flew within 10 feet of an American military jet. The price they paid? Being admonished that such provocations are unsafe and unprofessional. An OSHA citation is more ominous.

Add to that American acquiescence not just to ransoming hostages held by Iran, but to delivering the loot by unmarked plane filled with stacks of cold (untraceable) cash, like a desert drug deal. Why the stealth? Obviously to conceal the manner of the transaction from Congress and the American public. Some humiliations are so grotesque that even the nObama team can’t miss it.

Now the latest. At the G-20, nObama said he spoke to Putin about cyberwarfare, amid revelations that Russian hackers have been interfering in our political campaigns. We are more technologically advanced, both offensively and defensively, in this arena than any of our adversaries, said nObama, but we really don’t want another Cold War-style arms race.

Instead, we must all adhere to norms of international behavior.

It makes you want to weep. This KGB thug adhering to norms? He invades Ukraine, annexes Crimea, bombs hospitals in Aleppo — and we expect him to observe cyber-code etiquette? Rather than exploit our technological lead — with countermeasures and deterrent threats — to ensure our own cyber safety?

We’re back to 1929 when Secretary of State Henry Stimson shut down a U.S. code-breaking operation after it gave him decoded Japanese telegrams. He famously explained that “gentlemen do not read each other’s mail.”

Well, comrade, Putin is no gentleman. And he’s reading our mail.
