 Banking on her -  Fox News: “Donations to the Clinton Foundation by Swiss bank UBS increased tenfold after Hilly Clinton intervened to settle a dispute with the IRS early in her tenure as secretary of state… According to the Wall Street Journal, total donations by UBS to the foundation grew from less than $60,000 at the end of 2008 to approximately $600,000 by the end of 2014. The Journal reports that the bank also lent $32 million through entrepreneurship and inner-city loan programs it launched in association with the foundation, while paying former President Bill Clinton $1.5 million to participate in a series of corporate question-and-answer sessions with UBS Chief Executive Bob McCann.”

 Hilly handler turns in some emails -   Politico: “Long-time Hilly Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines handed the State Department 20 boxes of work-related emails taken in part from a personal email account, State officials said Wednesday, calling into question the extent to which top aides to the former secretary of state also engaged in controversial email practices. State Department top document official John Hackett, who heads Freedom of Information Act requests for the agency, told a federal judge in a court hearing…Reines sent over the document boxes with a cover letter, suggesting they contained a hodgepodge of work related items also mixed with personal messages.”

 nObama 'Recovery' Even Worse Than Thought 
The status quo remains unchanged. Newly released figures from the Commerce Department show that in the second quarter — encompassing the months of April, May and June — the U.S. economy grew by just 2.3%, while first quarter growth was adjusted to 0.6%. No matter how you spin it, this isn't progress. In fact, GDP so far in 2015 trails 2014, a year that continued the trend of underperformance. But there was another interesting aspect to the report that is being largely ignored. "The second-quarter report is the first to include new methodology meant to make GDP more accurate," explains MarketWatch. "Over the past several years GDP has slightly underestimated growth in the first quarter and sharply overestimated growth in the third quarter, leading to big swings that confused Wall Street and Washington." After taking into account the new methodology, the results are even less stellar: "Under the new approach, the government has found that the U.S. economy grew somewhat slower from 2012 to 2014: An average of 2% a year instead of 2.3%. That means the slowest recovery since the end of World War II is even weaker than previously believed." The nObama "Recovery" was never as robust as this administration has consistently claimed, as further underscored by new government figures. Maybe that's why so many Millennials are living at home -The Patriot Post

 By Popular Demand: Worthwhile Revisions to AP History Exam 
Finally, some good news for a change. The College Board, the nonprofit organization that administers AP exams to high school students, has announced yet another revision to its history framework. But this time it's for the better. Previously, the College Board painted American history in far too negative a light, emphasizing our nation's sins while ignoring or minimizing its uniqueness and greatness. Some Founders, such as Declaration of Independence author Thomas Jefferson and Constitution writer James Madison, were mentioned; that's it — mentioned. But they were taught as examples of Western class, gender and racial evil. And while teachers could choose to teach the Constitution as it's written, they would disadvantage their students by doing so because the real Constitution wasn't on the test. After numerous scholars objected in an open letter, however, the College Board worked to make revisions. Neglected Founders are back, and there's even a new section on the concept of "American exceptionalism." A College Board official insisted they meant no harm, and that American exceptionalism was previously omitted because they assumed they didn't need to spell it out. We don't buy it, and the changes don't go nearly far enough, but perhaps the episode proves that strong, principled voices on the Right can make a difference.   -The Patriot Post

 Shocking Proof As To Why We Can No Longer Trust “Science”  
{teapartybulletin.com} ~ The mainstream media has a problem with a lack of perspective. They only see their own one-sided, leftist, pie-in-the-sky, denial-of-reality view of the world... and this comes through in their “news” (if you can call it that) reporting. What many people don’t realize is that 90% of the news outlets are owned by a total of six corporations. That’s not a typo: six corporations. And you wonder why you hear the same stupid, mindless, unthinking schlock from them.

 Watergate architect: Hilly scandals 'much larger' than Nixon's  
{wnd.com} ~ The chief operative of the infamous Plumbers unit inside the Nixon White House – the man who orchestrated the Watergate building break-in – says that Hilly Clinton’s many scandals are “much larger” that anything of which Richard Nixon was accused... “Bear in mind that nobody even caught a cold at the Watergate office building. But four devoted American citizens, including an ambassador, were left to die in Benghazi,” stated G. Gordon Liddy, the retired radio host, actor and bestselling author who was convicted of conspiracy, burglary and illegal wiretapping for his role directing and organizing the Watergate break-in. The man at the center of the Watergate controversy, a political event whose namesake would go on to define future scandals for decades, Liddy sounded off on a myriad of alleged Clinton misdeeds, including her role in Benghazi as well as the latest events surrounding “email-gate.”       http://www.wnd.com/2015/08/watergate-architect-hillary-scandals-much-larger-than-nixons/

 Majority of House Backs Resolution to Kill Iran Deal  
{Adam Kredo} ~ A majority of House lawmakers now support a resolution to reject the recently signed nuclear agreement with Iran... marking another blow to the White House’s aggressive push to convince Congress to back the deal, according to sources on Capitol Hill. At least 218 Republican lawmakers have signed on to support a resolution expressing “firm disapproval” of the nuclear deal, which would provide Iran with billions of dollars in sanctions relief while enabling it to continue work on ballistic missiles and other nuclear research. The measure, which is being led by Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill) and was first reported by theWashington Free Beacon, comes as Congress takes 60 days to review the deal before voting on it.        http://freebeacon.com/national-security/majority-of-house-backs-resolution-to-kill-iran-deal/

 ‘No Meaningful Degradation’ In Islamic State Force...  
{Morgan Chalfant} ~ The Associated Press reported: The military campaign has prevented Iraq’s collapse and put the Islamic State under increasing pressure in northern Syria, particularly squeezing its self-proclaimed capital in Raqqa... But intelligence analysts see the overall situation as a strategic stalemate: The Islamic State remains a well-funded extremist army able to replenish its ranks with foreign jihadis as quickly as the U.S. can eliminate them. Meanwhile, the group has expanded to other countries, including Libya, Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and Afghanistan. An unnamed defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, admitted that U.S. intelligence has “seen no meaningful degradation in their numbers.”        http://freebeacon.com/national-security/u-s-defense-official-no-meaningful-degradation-in-islamic-state-force-from-obama-bomb-campaign/

 Calif. Bill Will Ban Business Hierarchy – All “Just Comrades”...  
{rickwells.us} ~ There is no limit to the idiocy of the majority of Californians, those identified as Democrats and their legislative representatives. Their unbridled Marxism may have finally reached the tipping point... that of chaos ruling the day and the complete and total destruction of the systems which are critical to the operation of an economic sector. The time may have arrived in which California now chooses to surrender to the inevitable, to get it over with, to go ahead and embrace their unavoidable self-destruction. According to an article at Townhall.com, the treatment-deprived mental patients of the California Legislature are debating a bill which has already passed through committee mandating the elimination of the critical hierarchy within companies of ten or more persons. Far from being the next step in equal rights, this bill will be the next step in relocation for most businesses which understand that chaos is not a workable business structure. It is fortunate for most Americans that we don’t live in their Marxist hellhole, which will soon become the unemployment capital of the United States. The unfortunate reality is that this anti-worker bill will create a mass exodus of Californians into the states where normal people reside, bringing their inevitable contamination with them.

 Retired General: Some in Military Want to 'Take Out the President'  
{Alex Seitz-Wald} ~ A former top general and current executive at the Family Research Council says members of the military have considered staging a coup d’état against president, but will not because of civilian control of the military... “People I’ve spoken to would like to see the military ‘fulfill their constitutional duty and take out the president,’ ” retired Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin told World Net Daily, a website best known for pushing Obama “birther” conspiracy theories. “Our Constitution puts a civilian in charge of the military and as a result a coup would not be constitutional. You’re not going to see a coup in the military.” “I talk to a lot of folks who don’t support where Obama is taking the military, but in the military they can’t say anything,” Boykin said.        http://www.govexec.com/defense/2013/11/retired-general-some-military-want-take-out-president/73133/

 nObama to Unveil Biggest Step Ever' in Climate Fight  
{news.discovery.com} ~ President Barack nObama will Monday unveil what he called the “biggest, most important step we’ve ever taken” to fight climate change, a sensitive issue central to his legacy... The White House will release the final version of America’s Clean Power Plan, a set of environmental rules and regulations that will home in on the pollution from the nation’s power plants, setting limits on power-plant carbon emissions. Laying out how climate change was a threat to the health, well being and security of millions of Americans, and adding that time was of the essence, nObama said in a video released early Sunday: “Climate change is not a problem for another generation. Not anymore.”

 nOBAMA GIVES ILLEGALS MASSIVE HEALTH-CARE PLAN  
{Steve Peacock} ~ The level of health-care services provided to illegal aliens is about to get a huge boost from the nObama administration, which is hiring contractors to provide the equivalent of 5.5 million additional labor hours of treatment to detainees... U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, of the Department of Homeland Security did not provide an estimated cost of these support services over five years. It is leaving it up to vendors to propose how much it will cost. According to a solicitation for bids that WND discovered through routine database research, the purpose of this initiative is “to provide on-site medical staffing services to provide a continuum of health care services to ICE residents/detainees 24 hours a day, seven (7) days per week, and 365 calendar days per year” at various clinic sites. All of the treatment will come from workers who are screened to be politically correct. Where is Congress on this? Defund it.

 Democrat debates vanish: 6 scheduled, none in works  
{wnd.com} ~ Is the Democratic National Committee dodging debates between its candidates this year?... In May, the DNC announced its plans to hold six primary debates which would be in “the fall of 2015.” Yet as the Republican candidates prepare to square off, there is pointed silence from the Democrats. “We’ve always believed that we would have a competitive primary process, and that debates would be an important part of that process,” said DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said during the springtime announcement of the half-dozen debates.  “Our debate schedule will not only give Democratic voters multiple opportunities to size up the candidates for the nomination side-by-side, but will give all Americans a chance to see a unified Democratic vision of economic opportunity and progress – no matter whom our nominee may be.” In a lead story on the Drudge Report Sunday night, her promise has vanished as Democrats dodge a candidate showdown.

nObama strikes again

     {jewishworldreview.com} ~ While Israel and much of official Washington remain focused on the deal President Barack nObama just cut with the ayatollahs that gives them $150 billion and a guaranteed nuclear arsenal within a decade, nObama has already moved on – to Syria.
.
     nObama’s first hope was to reach a deal with his Iranian friends that would leave the Assad regime in place. But the Iranians blew him off.
.
     They know they don’t need a deal with nObama to secure their interests. nObama will continue to help them to maintain their power base in Syria though Hezbollah and the remains of the Assad regime without a deal.
.
     Iran’s cold shoulder didn’t stop nObama. He moved on to his Sunni friend Turkish President Recep Erdogan.
.
     Like the Iranians, since the war broke out, Erdogan has played a central role in transforming what started out as a local uprising into a regional conflict between Sunni and Shiite jihadists.
.
     With nObama’s full support, by late 2012 Erdogan had built an opposition dominated by his totalitarian allies in the Muslim Brotherhood.
.
     By mid-2013, Erdogan’s Muslim Brotherhood- led coalition was eclipsed by al-Qaida spinoffs. They also enjoyed Turkish support.
.
     And when last summer ISIS supplanted al-Qaida as the dominant Sunni jihadist force in Syria, it did so with Erdogan’s full backing. For the past 18 months, Turkey has been ISIS’s logistical, political and economic base.
.
     According to Brett McGurk, the State Department’s point man on ISIS, about 25,000 foreign fighters have joined ISIS in Syria and Iraq. All of them transited through Turkey.
.
     Most of the antiquities that ISIS plunders in Iraq and Syria make their way to the world market through Turkey. So, too, most of the oil that ISIS produces in Syria and Iraq is smuggled out through Turkey. According to the US Treasury, ISIS has made $1 million-$4m. a day from oil revenue.
.
     In May, US commandos in Syria assassinated Abu Sayyaf, ISIS’s chief money manager, and arrested his wife and seized numerous computers and flash drives from his home. According to a report in The Guardian published last week, the drives provided hard evidence of official Turkish economic collusion with ISIS.
.
     Due to Turkish support, ISIS has become a self-financing terrorist group. With its revenue stream it is able to maintain a welfare state regime, attracting recruits from abroad and securing the loyalty of local Sunni militias and former Ba’athist forces.
.
     Some Western officials believed that after finding hard evidence of Turkish regime support for ISIS, NATO would finally change its relationship with Turkey. To a degree they were correct.
.
     Last week, nObama cut a deal with Erdogan that changes the West’s relationship with Erdogan.
.
     Instead of maintaining its current practice of balancing its support for Turkey with its support for the Kurds, under the agreement, the West ditches its support for the Kurds and transfers its support to Turkey exclusively.
.
     The Kurdish peshmerga militias operating today in Iraq and Syria are the only military outfits making sustained progress in the war against ISIS. Since last October, the Kurds in Syria have liberated ISIS-controlled and -threatened areas along the Turkish border.
.
     The YPG, the peshmerga militia in Syria, won its first major victory in January, when after a protracted, bloody battle, with US air support, it freed the Kurdish border town of Kobani from ISIS’s assault.
.
     In June, the YPG scored a strategic victory against ISIS by taking control of Tal Abyad. Tal Abyad controls the road connecting ISIS’s capital of Raqqa with Turkey. By capturing Tal Abyad, the Kurds cut Raqqa’s supply lines.
.
     Last month, Time magazine reported that the Turks reacted with hysteria to Tal Abyad’s capture.
.
     Not only did the operation endanger Raqqa, it gave the Kurds territorial contiguity in Syria.
.
     The YPG’s victories enhanced the Kurds’ standing among Western nations. Indeed, some British and American officials were quoted openly discussing the possibility of removing the PKK, the YPG’s Iraqi counterpart, from their official lists of terrorist organizations.
.
     The YPG’s victories similarly enhanced the Kurds’ standing inside Turkey itself. In the June elections to the Turkish parliament, the Kurdish HDP party won 12 percent of the vote nationally, and so blocked Erdogan’s AKP party from winning a parliamentary majority.
.
     Without that majority Erdogan’s plan of reforming the constitution to transform Turkey into a presidential republic and secure his dictatorship for the long run has been jeopardized.
.
      As far as Erdogan was concerned, by the middle of July the Kurdish threat to his power had reached unacceptable levels.
.
Then two weeks ago the deck was miraculously reshuffled.
.
     On July 20, young Kurdish activists convened in Suduc, a Kurdish town on the Turkish side of the border, 6 kilometers from Kobani. A suicide bomber walked up to them, and detonated, massacring 32 people.
.
     Turkish officials claim that the bomber was a Turkish Kurd, and a member of ISIS. But the Kurds didn’t buy that line. Last week, HDP lawmakers accused the regime of complicity with the bomber. And two days after the attack, militants from the PKK killed two Turkish policemen in a neighboring village, claiming that they collaborated with ISIS.
.
At that point, Erdogan sprang into action.
.
     After refusing for months to work with NATO forces in their anti-ISIS operations, Erdogan announced he was entering the fray. He would begin targeting “terrorists” and allow the US air force to use two Turkish air bases for its anti-ISIS operations. In exchange, the US agreed to set up a “safe zone” in Syria along the Turkish border.
.
     Turkish officials were quick to explain that in targeting “terrorists,” the Turks would not distinguish between Kurdish terrorists and ISIS terrorists just because the former are fighting ISIS. Both, they insisted, are legitimate targets.
.
     Erdogan closed his deal in a telephone call with nObama. And he immediately went into action.
.
     Turkish forces began bombing terrorist targets and rounding up terrorist suspects. Although a few of the Turkish bombing runs have been directly against ISIS, the vast majority have targeted Kurdish forces in Iraq and Syria.
.
     Moreover, for every suspected ISIS terrorist arrested by Turkish security forces, at least eight Kurds have been taken into custody.
.
     Then, too, Erdogan has called on AKP lawmakers to begin criminalizing their counterparts from the HDP. Kurdish lawmakers, he urged them, must be stripped of their parliamentary immunity to enable their arrests.
.
     As Erdogan apparently sees things, by going to war against the Kurds, he will be able to reestablish the AKP’s parliamentary majority. Within a few weeks, if the AKP fails to form a governing coalition – and it will – then new elections will be held. The nationalists, who abandoned the AKP in June, will return to the party to reward Erdogan for fighting the Kurds.
.
     As for that “safe area” in northern Syria, as the Kurds see it, Erdogan will use it to destroy Kurdish autonomy. He will flood the zone with Syrian Arab refugees who fled to Turkey, to dilute the Kurdish majority. And he will secure coalition support for the Sunni Arab militias – including those still affiliated with al-Qaida – which will be permitted by NATO to operate openly in the safe area.
.
     Already the Kurds are reporting that the US has stopped providing air support for their forces fighting ISIS in the border town of Jarablus. Those forces were bombed this week by Turkish F-16s.
.
     For their part, despite Erdogan’s pledge to fight ISIS, his forces seem remarkable uninterested in rolling back ISIS achievements. The Turks have no plan for removing ISIS from its strongholds in Raqqa or Haskiyah.
.
     The nObama administration is presenting the deal with Turkey as yet another great achievement.
.
     In an interview with Charlie Rose on Tuesday, McGurk explained that the deal was a long time in the making. It began with a phone conversation between nObama and Erdogan last October and it ended with their phone call last week.
.
     In October, nObama convinced Erdogan not to oppose US air support for the Kurds in Kobani and to enable the US to resupply YPG fighters in Kobani through Turkey. In the second, nObama agreed not to oppose Erdogan’s offensive against the Kurds.
.
     Two years ago, in August 2013, the world held its breath awaiting US action in Syria. That month, after prolonged equivocation amidst mountains of evidence, the nObama administration was forced to acknowledge that Iran’s Syrian puppet Bashar Assad had crossed nObama’s self-declared redline and used chemical weapons against regime opponents, including civilians.
.
     US forces assembled for battle. Everything looked ready to go, until just hours before US jets were scheduled to begin bombing regime targets, nObama canceled the operation. In so doing, he lost all deterrent power against Iran. He also lost all strategic credibility among America’s regional allies.
.
     To save face, nObama agreed to a Russian proposal to have international monitors remove Syria’s chemical weapons from the country.
.
     Last summer, the administration proudly announced that the mission had been completed.
.
     UN chemical weapons monitors had removed Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal from the country, they proclaimed. It didn’t matter to either nObama or Secretary of State hanoi John Kerry that by that point Assad had resumed chemical assaults with chlorine-based bombs. Chlorine bombs weren’t chemical weapons, the Americans idiotically proclaimed.
.
     Then last week, the lie fell apart. The Wall Street Journal reported that according to US intelligence agencies, Assad not surrendered his chemical arsenal.
.
     Rather, he hid much of his chemical weaponry from the UN inspectors. He had even managed to retain the capacity to make chemical weapons – like chlorine-based bombs – after agreeing to part with his chemical arsenal.
.
     Assad was able to cheat, because just as the administration’s nuclear deal with the Iranians gives Iran control over which nuclear sites will be open to UN inspectors, and which will be off limits, so the chemical deal gave Assad control over what the inspectors would and would not be allowed to see. So, they saw only what he showed them.
.
     nObama has gone full circle in concluding his deal with Erdogan. Since entering office, nObama has sought to cut deals with both the Sunni jihadists of the Muslim Brotherhood ilk and the Shi’ite jihadists of the Iranian ilk.
.
     His chemical deal with Assad and his nuclear deal with the ayatollahs accomplished the latter goal, and did so at the expense of America’s Sunni Arab allies and Israel.
.
     His deal last week with Erdogan accomplishes the former goal, to the benefit of ISIS, and on the backs of America’s Kurdish allies.
.
     So that takes care of the Middle East. With 17 months left to go till nObama leave office, the time has apparently come for the British to begin to worry.
