    Hillary Clinton: Stronger Together. How strong? Well, the great woman’s health is excellent, superb even. Her heart and mind one hundred thousand times stronger than the strongest beams of steel that built our great American cities more than a century ago. Her soul a shining exemplar of selflessness, service, and humility, her footing sound... wait, are we talking about the same person here?! The same Hillary Clinton who recently became the latest unintentional star of YouTube, with a truly endless upload stream of videos purporting to show Hillary Clinton wildly seizing up when several reporters begin questioning her at once?...

    ""Huma Dumping Weiner After Another Stupid Sexting Scandal Is Bait and Switch to Draw Attention Away from Hillary’s Health and the Clinton Foundation Investigation"" It’s all over the news today that Anthony Weiner sent “one sext too many” and top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin is finally calling it quits and ending their marriage. Because, it was such a wonderful marriage… Most people recognize how much of a sham their relationship was from the beginning. Saying these two (look at her face above on their wedding day, she looks super thrilled) had a legitimate marriage is like saying Hillary and...

    With the rise of Donald Trump, the plan of the political elites has been to provoke violence and blame it on him, thus scaring the normal populace. Early-on there were the road-blockings, the threatened riots, the cancelled events in Chicago and Cincinnati, the beatings, the police ordered to “look the other way”…and it has continued: The screaming harassment and physical attacks on Trump supporters as they leave his rallies. The spitting. The intimidation. The thrown eggs. The shoves and punches. The cars blocked and damaged. The hats snatched off people’s heads, stomped on, and then burned on the ground. All...

  • Padded New York Times Opinion Piece Equates Trump With Hitler

    NewsBusters ^ | August 29, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick
    Mark Thompson, chief executive of the New York Times, has written a highly padded opinion piece that boils down to one important thing he wants to get across to you rubes: Trump = Hitler. Oh yeah, he includes one very slight caveat so you don't think of him as your usual leftwing loon. The rest of his piece is mostly yawn inducing padding which serves as filler for his basic premise.  So let us get to Thompson's unintentional humor as he stresses that Trump is like Hitler because, get this, they both spoke off the cuff. I kid you not.

    Washington Examiner ^ | August 29, 2016 | Al Weaver
    Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fired back at San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick Monday over not standing during the national anthem. During a radio interview with Seattle-based radio host Dori Monson, Trump said that he wasn't a fan of the move, saying Kaepernick should "find a country" that would suit him better. "I have followed it, and I think it's personally not a good thing. I think it's a terrible thing," Trump told the host. "Maybe he should find a country that works better for him. Let him try. It won't happen." The GOP nominee also continued critique of...

I just wanted to comment on your comment that you just made about Trump and his illegal -- and his deportation shift. I just distinctly heard you say it's not considered a flip-flop. And I just want to tell you, you're doing a disservice to all of us Republican primary voters who didn't vote for Trump that are struggling with whether or not to vote for Trump, when you diminish the impact of his single policy...
  • Donald J. Trump Statement on Hillary Clinton’s Bad Judgment (about Weiner)

    Trump-Pence ^ | August 29 2016 | Donald J. Trump
    "Huma is making a very wise decision. I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him. I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information. Who knows what he learned and who he told? It's just another example of Hillary Clinton's bad judgment. It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised by this.” - Donald J. Trump

  • George W. Bush's Iraq war architect says he will likely vote for Clinton

    LA Times ^ | Aug. 26, 2016 | Seema Mehta
    Paul Wolfowitz, a top official in the George W. Bush administration referred to as the architect of the Iraq war, said he will likely vote for Hillary Clinton in November. Wolfowitz is part of a growing list of GOP national security and foreign policy officials who have announced their intention to support the Democratic presidential nominee. But though Clinton has proudly announced the backing of other Republicans, it’s less likely she will roll out a news release touting the support from Wolfowitz. As deputy secretary of Defense under Bush, Wolfowitz was among the earliest and biggest cheerleaders for invading...

    Wall Street is pricing in a landslide victory for Hillary Clinton, but if she starts to lag, there could be a big unwinding of stock and bond market positions, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch's David Woo. Woo said the market is also pricing in a split Congress, with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats the Senate. That would maintain the deadlock in Washington. "You have a Democrat president, and a Republican controlled Congress which means you have gridlock in Washington. The market is pricing in this gridlock, meaning it's going to be that much of the burden of...
