So much for Chris Ruddy’s credibility on anything Conservative.

It’s like everyone wants to stay on the good side of the Clinton’s by donating to the phony foundation. We all know there are better and more legitimate charities out there that do better work and give more bang for the buck.

It’s we are living in a Fascist world and all those that can will contribute money to stay in play. Crony Socialism at it’s worse.

But beyond that is the abject Mendacity and Hypocrisy of it all. As a glaring example Ruddy of Newsmax contends he and his publication are Conservative but in reality they are not. You can’t have any credibility claiming to be Conservative or Libertarian if you are contributing to a Phony Foundation run by the Clinton’s.

So are there any organizations or individuals to trust at all here in the media or business that are not selling their souls and their principles out for political gain and access? Right now the answer seems to be no.

The foundation’s records show how to set the trap.

Also known as “hand powered” or “hand cranked”. They were all the rage for preppers a few years back. Cheap models had AM/FM and weather. Better models included other bands like CB and shortwave.

I have come to the conclusion that a hand /solar / peddle powered battery charger is a more useful appliance as the batteries can power more than just a radio.

From the locked thread : >>I’ve often wondered if a number of the “news organizations” that are conservative are conservative because it is lucrative.

I’ve done more than wonder with some. Think about this: If they didn’t have “evil liberals” to rail against, they might cease to exist. The same goes for certain Republican politicians. They are more than happy to aid and abet liberals who they then “pretend” to fight. I can’t imagine how conservative Senators and Representatives can be civil to people as evil as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

in a "Mad Max: Fury Road" post-apocalyptic scenario, where would any radio transmitters get their power?

Well that's pretty obvious...wind-up transmitters.

Self-Serving Tripe. Ruddy has to make excuses for his involvement. But the fact of the matter is there are better outlets to donate to.

Ruddy loses all credibility here on principles if he considers himself anything remotely Conservative and Unbiased as a journalist. The problem is that the Clinton's are inherently corrupt and will continue to be.

It looks like one big circle jerk in the media with so many be exposed as donors to the Clinton Foundation, blurring of the lines, conflicts of interest, and biased reporting among other thing.

Bill Clinton Speaks at Scaife Memorial, Talks of 'Friendship'

Saturday, 02 Aug 2014 08:32 PM

By Todd Beamon

Former President Clinton with Christopher Ruddy, Newsmax CEO (left), and Yale Gutnick, chairman of the Tribune-Review, on Saturday shortly before Clinton's remarks in Ligonier, Pa.

Former President Bill Clinton memorialized Richard Mellon Scaife on Saturday as a man with whom he developed a "counterintuitive friendship" that proved to be an invaluable experience.

More here.

Evidently, the foundation pays for the Clintons to jet set around and maintain their lifestyle, while funneling a small amount of the money collected to real charities. NewsMax can write all the articles he wants to, but he donated for reasons that have nothing to do with Charity.

I’d bet if we dug deep we’d find Ruddy chummy with Norquist.

To me this is more proof that they’re all in it together. Newsmax and Fox News are there to make us believe there’s an opposition. In reality, it’s all for show and the people buy the tickets.

I think there are number of things going on including the notion of making a buck and the notion of creating confusion in the “enemy camp” by having a conservative “front” organization that can manipulate grassroots people to the advantage of the Clintons.

Newsmax is owned by Chris Ruddy, a big Clinton Butt boy.

They try to pretend to be ‘conservative,’ but they are leftist catholics.

20 years ago, Newsmax founder, Christopher Ruddy was a key researcher of the death of Vince Foster. Ironic. Who’s running Newsmax now.

Wouldn’t it be a great time to ban Newsmax articles from FR?

Pretty much it. Years ago my office was working on a case involving the late Senator Kennedy, supposed conservative bete noir. Every last conservative organization refused to support the cause which did, as it turned out, go to the SCOTUS where we got certiorari per curiam. One of those ‘conservative’ organizations was honest enough to say, in essence: you have to be kidding! He’s a gold mine to us!”

Chris Ruddy has been trying to get into Hillary's pantsuit for years.

Definitely a jackass in Rino's clothing.
