I agree about the swollen hands.
The Decline and Fall of the Rodham Empire?
Time will tell which side is right about Hillary’s health issues.
Nonsense.
They were on a perfectly level playing field.
What they have done with their "sensible legislative efforts" is make it impossible for mom and pop retailers to compete with Amazon and big on line retailers.
My two cents is disregard this blog as the writer is dealing out more baloney then the deli.
JFK was a medical mess. Addison’’s was among the least of his problems.
Weigel is the WaPo’s latest attack dog, smear article, taking over somewhat from Dana Milbank and E.J. Dionne.
We were warned about him months before he moved in.
The Wash. Post has become rabid in its negative coverage of the Trump candidacy and campaign. Objectivity was flushed down the toilet with gusto, and the letters to the editor seem to have come from insane asylum inmates.
But then again, it is the Wash. Compost.
I'm not sure why young Dave thinks that anyone would believe a lying sack of dogMitt who propagandizes for the Washington Post SuperPAC.
Eat Mitt and sod off, Swampy Dave.
That's because it's Dave Weigel's job as a Clinton campaign "jernalist" @sslamprey to suck the festering boils off Her Thighness' posterior.
Thanks for the link.
All true . . . and yet after further reading I find myself grudgingly respecting FDR’s foreign policy up to at least the Battle of Kirsk (sp) in, IIRC, 1943.The reality of American polity was that in America in 1941, as in Britain in 1938, war with Germany polled 80% against. And the reality is that, starting in May, 1940 with the Fall of France, FDR pushed as hard as he could to keep Britain out of the grasp of Hitler, and to get US production on a war footing. That included Britain’s sending America virtually all its secret technology, short of Ultra. And the US put much of it into production. Churchill was lying when he said, “Send us the tools, and we will finish the job;” Britain was on the back foot in a serious way and had no prospect of defeating Germany without US troops.
The US had critical shortages of all military equipment upon the advent of Pearl Harbor, not because the US wasn’t producing such - its production was ramping up geometrically at that point - but because whatever we had, we sent to shore up Britain and the Soviet Union. The current book, 1941, says that the free-world consensus was a horrified expectation, upon Hitler’s invasion of the USSR, that Hitler would defeat Russia the way he had taken France.
Harry Hopkins - whom I considered an unmitigated horror story - was the one who turned that situation around. He was in lousy health, death warmed over, throughout the war. Hopkins was in Britain when the Germans invaded Russia, and it was he who flew to Moscow to get the pulse of the situation. He found Stalin fighting mad over Hitler’s betrayal, and believed Stalin when he said Russia would fight for a year at least and, given foreign aid, would not be defeated. Upon hearing from Hopkins that the USSR would be a viable opponent for Hitler, FDR attended a ceremony at which some partially assembled P-40s were about to be formally shipped to British forces in Africa - and amazed the attendees by ordering that the planes be unwrapped, assembled, and flown to Siberia.
Without the aid the FDR sent to Stalin Hitler would, if not as quickly as he would have liked, have taken the Caucus oilfields which he most coveted and which would have made him that much more powerful. In the event, Hitler never did gain that prize. And without “der Ostfront" . . . do you seriously think that Germany would have been defeated before the (in 1941, speculative) advent of the A-bomb?
From the Fall of France, FDR was cutting corners to get American industry converted to military production. The first Packard-built Merlin ran in August, 1941 (Packard had to translate the drawings from British to American before they could even begin to make engines). It took time to manufacture the requisite machine tools for the production scale necessary. By the end of 1943, production capability was such that actual production figures were selected, not settled for. Without that 18-month ramp-up of production before Pearl Harbor - well, "for want of a nail . . .”
The real thing to fault FDR on is that he continued and exacerbated the policies which failed to cure the Depression under Herbert Hoover - so the economy was still the pits until Britain started buying war materiel. Given Cooledge economic policy, the economy might have been 50% larger by 1939, which would have helped tremendously. Compare with the situation in America before the Civil War; if the secession crisis had come to a head in 1850, the South could have won - because the North’s economy was so much smaller then than it was in 1860.
Great data. She is brain damaged beyond belief!! ! concussion cuts your IQ, 40 points. She is a blithering idiot!!
“Democrats use junk science and old photos to advance global warming.”
EXACTLY!!! Ask those nitwits what the temperature of the Erf is “SUPPOSED” to be!!!!!
OK here is Todd Madison again with some device in his hands, at the last night of the DNC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f—sakIve2Q
yes she did!
That pic is representative of the many times she fell, as they listed the times she fell. Perhaps, the other ones did not havepic, but are sourced. Drudge did post a pic with her arm in a sling.
Plus, if you listen to the audio of the video, her response after the strange head movements are not in line with the discussion. She completely loses track of where the conversation was and goes off about ‘food’.
This link has a photo from a FR member of another African American man on her detail. Notice the lapel pen again:

Scroll down a bit for the photo of the second man.
Remember, I believe she's scheduled to be at a fundraiser being held by Apple CEO Tim Cook on August 24, 2016. Given that Cook knows what it's like to deal with a close friend in declining health in Steve Jobs, the Clinton campaign better put a lid on these rumors or even Tim Cook is going to start asking questions in private about Hillary's personal health.
