 PANIC ATTACK: HILLY HAMMERS loose lips BIDEN  
Amid bad press and polling, Hilly Clinton and her team are escalating attacks on rivals, particularly Vice President loose lips Joe Biden.
          Campaigning in New Hampshire on Thursday, Clinton defended her support for a 2001 bankruptcy bill much detested by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and others. The Boston Globe reports that Clinton explained that loose lips Biden only agreed to not “hurt women and children” with the bill in exchange for Clinton’s support. Calling out loose lips Biden by name and accusing him of ransoming aid to women and children is pretty nasty stuff to drop on a guy who isn’t even in the race.
          Here’s Clinton, via the Globe: “‘I said, ‘It’s really important to me that we don’t hurt women and children, so I will support it even though there are other things I don’t like in it.’ And it was Vice President loose lips Biden, who was the senator from Delaware, and the Republican cosponsor that I was talking with.’”
          Meanwhile, the NYT reports that Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta dumped on loose lips Biden in a briefing to super PAC donors. An attendee told the Times that Podesta claimed loose lips Biden was in too weak a position to deny Clinton the nomination, citing Clinton’s firewall and loose lips Biden’s inability to build an early-state organization.
          But attacking may not be the best option for the Clinton camp as Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., announced he raised $1.2 million in the two days following an attack from a different Clinton super PAC.  -Fox News

 NO, BUT KEEP IT UP AND THERE MIGHT BE…  
The Oregonian: “An officer pulled over Salvador Sanchez-Buenrostro around12:55 a.m. along Northeast Kane Street near Olvera Court in Gresham for a traffic violation, police said…While the officer was away from the Sanchez-Buenrostro’s car to write a citation, the driver called 911 and reported a shooting on Southeast 190th Avenue and Stark Street, police said. The driver gave emergency dispatchers a fake name. After the call was traced to the location of the traffic stop, the officer received the cellphone number the call was made from and determined it belonged to Sanchez-Buenrostro, police said. The driver later admitted to making the false report. Sanchez-Buenrostro was arrested and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on an accusation of improper use of 911. He has since been released from jail.”   -Fox News

 HILLY: ‘REAL PERSON,’ REAL PANICKED  
Democratic frontrunner Hilly Clinton made her first Sunday show appearance in four years and reminded us all why these shows are “not [her] favorite thing to do.” While her campaign points to a new CNN poll that shows her easily fending off Sen.Bernie Sanders, Sanders is symptom, not her actual ailment.
          The growing specter of a rumored loose lips Joe Biden run intensified with reports that his wife, Jill, is “100 percent” on board for his third presidential run. While loose lips Biden is still hedging in public, the Clinton campaign seems to have shifted from dismissive of a loose lpis Biden run to an intensifying freak out.
          We saw indications of this as she tries to get left of the president and, by extension, loose lips Biden. President nObama proposed taking 10,000 refugees in the U.S. while Clinton advocated for 65,000. The Democratic frontrunner took a similar tactic on Keystone saying she was “putting the White House on notice” before staking out her own stance.
          Advocating mass migration from Syria may do her well with primary voters, but it looks like a loser in the general election. And, as with her head-snapping claim of being “an outsider,” isn’t likely to persuade skeptical nObama Democrats that she’s trustworthy on their core issues.
          Hilly Clinton is indeed “a real person” – a real panicked person.  -Fox News

 Hilly now underwater in home state poll -   WSJ: “For the first time in Hilly Clinton’s political career, more voters in her adopted home state of New York view her unfavorably than favorably, according to a Siena College poll published Monday. In the overwhelmingly Democratic state, 51% of the registered voters polled said they held an unfavorable view of the Democratic presidential front-runner, while 46% said they held a positive view of her. In a Siena poll released in July, Mrs. Clinton’s favorable rating was 56% and her unfavorable rating was 40%.”  -Fox News

 State Depart Asked Hilly To Delete Classified Benghazi E-mail  

{nationalreview.com} ~ In a May 22 letter to Clinton’s attorney, David Kendall, Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy notified the Clinton team that a November 8, 2012 e-mail about a “report of arrests... possible Benghazi connection” was deemed classified and should be deleted. “Once you have made the electronic copy of the documents for the Department, please locate any electronic copies of the above-referenced classified document in your possession,” wrote Kennedy, who served under Clinton at the State Department. “If you locate any electronic copies, please delete them. Additionally, once you have done that, please empty your ‘Deleted Items’ folder.” Judicial Watch, the conservative watchdog group that released the correspondence, said that the order to delete the e-mail smacks of a cover-up. “Why on Earth would hanoi John Kerry’s State Department tell Mrs. Clinton to delete classified Benghazi records before finding out where and how this material had been disclosed?” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “That the State Department asked Clinton’s lawyer to destroy federal records shows a level of disdain for the rule of law that goes beyond the pale.” How soon til she goes to jail?

 The Clintonian Roots of nObamacare  

{Scott Gotlieb} ~ By embracing nObamacare and scapegoating the health-care industry for its ongoing problems, Hilly Clinton is merely pursuing the fulfillment of her original vision for American health care... She is the author of most of nObamacare’s elements, and many of the pieces of the regulatory apparatus have not yet been fully activated. nObamacare, like its blueprint, Hillycare, established the tools necessary to exercise the required control on the health-care industry, if it has yet to put all those tools to use. A President Clinton would be more likely than nObama to finally constitute IPAB and set it loose regulating the whole industry. The elements of even greater control of medicine are all embedded in nObamacare, but these provisions are still waiting for their full exercise.        http://www.nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/the-clintonian-roots-of-obamacare

 Vietnam War: Misreported and Misremembered  

{Nurit Greenger} ~ “No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.” – President Richard M. Nixon, 1985... The Vietnam War, fought from 1959 to 1975, involved the United States forces and the South Vietnamese army fighting the North Vietnamese and the National Liberation Front (NLF), was the longest military conflict in U.S. history. The hostilities in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia claimed more than 58,000 American lives and many thousands were wounded. During the First Indochina War, from 1946 until 1954, the Vietnamese had struggled for their independence from French colonialism. At the end of this war, the country was temporarily divided into North and South Vietnam. http://savingourfuture.com/2015/09/vietnam-war-misreported-and-misremembered/

 Dome of the Rock(s)  

{Tsvi Sadan} ~ The latest Temple Mount rioting during Rosh Hashanah has demonstrated once again that Muslim holy places are regularly used in service to militant Islam... The cinder blocks and rocks piled up inside the Al Aqsa Mosque (Islam's third holiest site) that turned prayer carpets into filthy rugs are a vivid reminder of the stark differences between the Muslim and Christian concepts of the sacred. From a Muslim point of view, dirty carpets are a small price to pay in the heroic effort to protect the holy place from the much greater filth of infidels. On October 17, 2014, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abass called upon fellow Muslims to do whatever they could to prevent the entrance of Jews to the Temple Mount. The reason given was that "they have no right to enter them and they have no right to defile them [the mosques]." http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/27407/Default.aspx

 nObama’s scrubbing of ISIS terror intel dates back to at least 2012  

{PAMELA GELLER} ~ The alleged manipulation of intelligence to downplay the strength of terror groups is far more extensive than previously reported and goes back to at least 2012... according to the Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee. Look at the state of the world today. Look at what nObama has wrought since 2008. By denying the jihad threat and actually manipulating intelligence reports to align with his pro-Islamic world-view, nObama allowed jihad terror groups across the globe to metastasize — their strength now would have been unthinkable pre-2008.

 Twenty More "Disgraces to the Profession"  

{Mark Steyn} ~ One of the most malodorous and disreputable aspects of American jurisprudence is the way laws intended to have very narrow application metastasize to target almost anyone the government is minded to stick it to... Why shouldn't others get a piece of the action? Frustrated at the failure of global-warming alarmism to shift an apathetic public, Big Climate could do several things. Most obviously, they could resume public debate with those who disagree with them, win the argument and thereby persuade the people - which is how change is effected in self-governing societies. Instead, twenty of them have written to the President to demand that the most powerful government on earth use the RICO laws to prosecute climate "skeptics" and "deniers". Instead of winning the debate, it's easier to criminalize it. Just for the record, here are the 20 climate scientists eager to jail those who disagree with them: http://www.steynonline.com/7182/twenty-more-disgraces-to-the-profession

 Millions of Americans Could Support Military Coup  

{totalconservative.com} ~ If you spend a lot of your time perusing the dozens of daily polls and surveys taken of the American population, you will eventually come to realize that you can find people who support just about anything... Even with that in mind, though, it is surprising to see that 29 percent of the country can envision a scenario where they would support a military takeover of Washington. Approximately 70 million Americans, in other words, can reasonably imagine a situation where they would cheer on a military that takes over the federal government. Because the YouGov poll shows Republicans much more inclined to support a takeover than Democrats, the poll will undoubtedly be spun in a way to make the right look crazy. That is, after all, what the mainstream media does. Analysts looking at the poll say they believe the reason for the surprising results is that the military is much more popular than our politicians. As though Americans – fed up with D.C. politics – would be fully willing to support a hostile overthrow of the government.        http://totalconservative.com/millions-of-americans-could-support-military-coup/

 Debbie Heckled As She Protects Hilly Clinton From Public Scrutiny  

{rickwells.us} ~ Debbie Wasserman Schultz, as chair as the Democrat Party, makes her living by pretending that what is happening really isn’t and what doesn’t exist actually does... She’s also obligated to dismiss those who recognize reality as extremists. Even for her it’s a tough sell to tell a convention hall filled to the brim with rabid liberals that their political candidate has been predetermined and that the entire process is a façade. There will be only six debates, down from 26 in 2008, because their criminal presumed nominee, Hilly Clinton, can’t handle the truth or the spotlight. She must be protected at all costs, including their illusion of Democratic process. If it turns out that an indictment or other event derails her campaign then perhaps she’ll come up with an emergency plan to find a replacement, one which will allow the appearance of a free and open discussion. Until then, loose lips sink Democrat ships, so they can wait until December and stick their orange signs where the sun doesn’t shine.

 With burned Bible, Torah, and Qur’an banned from competition  

{Robert Soencer} ~ “Whatever happened to freedom of expression?” What indeed? This is what happened to freedom of expression... Islamic jihadists began threatening to murder, and actually murdering, those who exercised it in a way they considered to be offensive to Islam. And suddenly the entire once-free West gained a new respect for Islam and willingness to adhere to Sharia blasphemy laws. For there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Nabil Mousa’s sculpture was judged too controversial and turned down not because of the burned Torah or New Testament, but because of the burned Qur’an, and only because of the burned Qur’an. The whole world is cowering in fear before these bloodthirsty assassins, not realizing or not caring about the fact that their cowering is only going to encourage the assassins to be even more bloodthirsty and demanding.       http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/09/sculpture-with-burned-bibletorah-and-quran-banned-from-competition

 The American Refugee Resettlement Scam  

{James Simpson} ~ President nObama and his rancid leftist allies have subjected America to a blizzard of lies. Nothing that leaves his mouth even remotely parrots the truth, but typically stands truth on its head... The propaganda infrastructure spanning media, Hollywood, non-profit institutions and the halls of academia then erects a virtually impenetrable wall of disinformation to advance the lie. They have just foisted on us a “deal” with Iran that threatens to create a holocaust, the likes of which America, and perhaps the world, has never seen. As Iran chanted “death to America” and “death to Israel,” this “deal” somehow skirted the advice and consent role reserved to the U.S. Senate. While we are afflicted with many feckless, incompetent and corrupt Republican Senators -- never mind the Democrats -- the “deal” could have never obtained the requisite approval of 2/3ds of senators. The lies about the “deal” are too numerous to catalog, and before the ink has even dried, Iran has suddenly “discovered” massive stockpiles of uranium it never knew it had! http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/09/the_american_refugee_resettlement_scam.html

Putin’s Gambit, nObama’s Puzzlement

Charles Krauthammer

.

   

.

     {freedomsback.com} ~ Once again, President nObama and his foreign policy team are stumped. Why is Vladimir Putin pouring troops and weaponry into Syria? After all, as Secretary of State hanoi John Kerry has thrice told his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, it is only making things worse.

.
     But worse for whom? For the additional thousands of civilians who will die or flee as a result of the inevitably intensified fighting. True, and I’m sure Lavrov is as moved by their plight as by the 8,000 killed in Russia’s splendid little Ukrainian adventure.

.
     hanoi Kerry and nObama are serially surprised because they cannot fathom the hard men in the Kremlin. Yet Putin’s objectives in Syria are blindingly obvious:

.
1. To assert Russia’s influence in the Middle East and make it the dominant outside power. Putin’s highest ambition is to avenge and reverse Russia’s humiliating loss of superpower status a quarter-century ago. Understanding this does not come easily to an American president who for seven years has been assiduously curating America’s decline abroad.

.
2. To sustain Russia’s major and long-standing Arab ally. Ever since Anwar Sadat kicked the Soviets out of Egypt in 1972, Syria’s Assads have been Russia’s principal asset in the Middle East.

.
3. To expand the reach of Russia’s own military. It has a naval base at Tartus, its only such outside of Russia. It has an airfield near Latakia, now being expanded with an infusion of battle tanks, armored personnel carriers, howitzers and housing for 1,500 — strongly suggesting ground forces to follow.

.
4. To push out the Americans. For Putin, geopolitics is a zero-sum game: Russia up, America down. He is demonstrating whom you can rely on in this very tough neighborhood. nObama has given short shrift to the Kurds, shafted America’s allies with the Iran deal and abandoned the Anbar Sunnis who helped us win the surge. Meanwhile, Putin risks putting Russian boots on the ground to rescue his Syrian allies.

.
     nObama says Bashar al-Assad has to go, draws a red line on chemical weapons — and does nothing. Russia acts on behalf of a desperate ally. Whom do you want in your corner?

.
5. To re-legitimize post-Crimea Russia by making it indispensable in Syria. It’s a neat two-cushion shot. At the U.N. next week, Putin will offer Russia as a core member of a new anti-Islamic State coalition. nObama’s Potemkin war — with its phantom local troops (our $500 million training program has yielded five fighters so far) and flaccid air campaign — is flailing badly. What Putin is proposing is that Russia, Iran and Hezbollah spearhead the anti-jihadist fight.

.
     Putin’s offer is clear: Stop fighting Assad, accept Russia as a major player, and acquiesce to a Russia-Iran-Hezbollah regional hegemony — and we will lead the drive against the Islamic State from in front.

.
     And there is a bonus. The cleverest part of the Putin gambit is its unstated cure for Europe’s refugee crisis.

.
     Wracked by guilt and fear, the Europeans have no idea what to do. Putin offers a way out: No war, no refugees. Stop the Syrian civil war and not only do they stop flooding into Europe, those already there go back home to Syria.

.
     Putin says, settle the war with my client in place — the Assad regime joined by a few “healthy” opposition forces — and I solve your refugee nightmare.

.
     You almost have to admire the cynicism. After all, what’s driving the refugees is the war and what’s driving the war is Iran and Russia. They provide the materiel, the funds and now, increasingly, the troops that fuel the fighting. The arsonist plays fireman.

.
     After all, most of the refugees are not fleeing the Islamic State. Its depravity is more ostentatious, but it is mostly visited upon minorities, Christian and Yazidi — and they have already been largely ethnically cleansed from Islamic State territory. The European detention camps are overflowing with Syrians fleeing Assad’s barbarism, especially his attacks on civilians, using artillery, chlorine gas and nail-filled barrel bombs.

.
     Putin to the rescue. As with the chemical weapons debacle, he steps in to save the day. If we acquiesce, Russia becomes an indispensable partner. It begins military and diplomatic coordination with us. (We’ve just agreed to negotiations over Russia’s Syrian buildup.) Its post-Ukraine isolation is lifted and, with Iran, it becomes the regional arbiter.

.
     In the end, the Putin strategy may not work, but it’s deadly serious and not at all obscure. The White House can stop scratching its collective head whenever another Condor transport unloads its tanks and marines at Latakia.
