Free Republic

This was pushed onto me from facebook unknowns in a data push. Please DO NOT link to this from FR. Clinton's website is the biggest pile of b...s seen. All gas and hot air, and no accomplishments. But that doesn't stop these clowns from pushing nothing to the dumbos who are of the uninformed. Asking for FReepers to look at the points and counter each one with the actual facts. She is not a leader. She is a mouth, and a nasty one at that.

To hear the media tell it, Hillary Clinton came to Capitol Hill as a bullfighter and easily killed the angry bulls of the House Benghazi committee. The "mainstream" media wondered why these crazy Republicans would "walk into the trap" of trying to scrutinize and question a media darling. She was a "commanding, presidential presence," gushed the "objective" Associated Press. It created "Hillary's Best Week Yet," oozed Politico. National Public Radio touted her "victory lap" at a Friday campaign event. Never trust the liberal media to tell you who should run a "victory lap." After all, it's easy to remember that...

Lies are good and truth is bad because truth would damage Madam Hillary's and even Imam Obama's sterling images. Both, bravely and proudly, try to feed us what is "good." Their people love it, so what difference does it make? According to John Hinderaker at Power Line, Madam Hillary lies…it’s not exactly a news flash. On the contrary, based on the liberal media’s reaction to her Benghazi testimony, her willingness to lie, brazenly, is a positive virtue. Video linkThere's always an excuse for having "misspoke." It need not be a credible excuse, because an incredible excuse works just fine. Anyway, whatever happened was in the past and...

Americans were able to see through Clinton’s smoke curtains, through her pathological lies, through her capricious mishandling of secure government information, government business, through a history of deception dating back to Whitewater For most children born in the U.S. in the late 1900s, growing up came with a deep-seated tradition of going to the circus – a spectacle that has delighted the young and the old alike for many years. Starting in 1919, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus merged to become an integral part of our folklore. Little did owners James Anthony Bailey and P.T. Barnum realize back...

Talk about an inconvenient truth . . . Don't know if we've ever witnessed such a blatant suppression of facts--even on MSNBC. Republican strategist Jessica Proud was a guest this morning on Al Sharpton's MSNBC show, which has been turfed out of its weekday slot and relegated to the early Sunday-morning wilderness. When discussion turned to the Benghazi hearing, Proud pointed out that Hillary, Susan Rice and President Obama lied about the cause of the attack. But before Proud could make her case—based on emails Hillary sent acknowledging that the internet video was not the cause—Sharpton shut her down, saying...

Congressman Paul Ryan has received enough support from the House Freedom Caucus to secure his nomination for Speaker of the House, and he may have gained some of the support from conservative efforts going on behind-the-scenes. The House Freedom Caucus, a small but fierce group of conservatives, succeeded in their efforts to oust John Boehner from Speaker of the House, but scrambled to find a nominee for Speaker that would satisfy their list of demands and rule changes to the Republican Conference. The group initially endorsed Florida Representative Daniel Webster; however, a closed-door meeting pushed them into supporting Congressman Paul...

Over a 72-hour-period beginning Saturday evening, Hillary Clinton showed up on four NBC-related properties. How did she get so much air time? Three days, four appearances: Hillary Clinton just hit a free media jackpot on the NBCUniversal network. Over a 72-hour-period beginning Saturday evening, the Democratic front-runner showed up in rapid-fire succession on four NBC-related properties — “Saturday Night Live,” “Politics Nation with Al Sharpton” on MSNBC, a “Today Show” hosted town hall and an interview on Telemundo – a feat that’s left media consultants, competitors at rival networks and even some at NBC itself wondering how she got so...

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton maintained Sunday that she has done all she can to take responsibility and "be as transparent as possible" about the use of her private email server while she was secretary of state. "It is like a drip, drip, drip," Clinton said in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I want these questions to be answered." [Snip] Clinton called the possibility of a using a private email server to avoid freedom of information requests or congressional subpoenas "totally ridiculous." The former secretary of state said she used the private server because "it was sitting there in...

Another day, another factual revelation that shows former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been less than honest with the American people. At some point, it becomes tiresome to ask the same question over and over again. But Clinton leaves us no choice. How many times must she be caught lying before the current presidential campaign has come to an end? Clinton had maintained, and in fact swore, that she had turned over all work-related emails from the private server she chose to use, in contravention of government secrecy and transparency laws. As it turns out, even this claim was...

During his rise to political prominence, Sen. Marco Rubio frequently repeated a compelling version of his family’s history that had special resonance in South Florida. He was the “son of exiles,” he told audiences, Cuban Americans forced off their beloved island after “a thug,” Fidel Castro, took power. But a review of documents — including naturalization papers and other official records — reveals that the Florida Republican’s account embellishes the facts. The documents show that Rubio’s parents came to the United States and were admitted for permanent residence more than two-and-a-half years before Castro’s forces overthrew the Cuban government and...

It has been building upon itself longer than most can remember. It is an anger that is out there, well beyond the visible boundary. This cannot be seen, it is felt – looming with certainty. It is a cold, watchful and mostly private anger…. …something is more serious about this type. Deeper than hot anger, which attracts the brief attention of the media. This rage needs no further discussion amid those who carry it… It just is. ….The depth of this is far greater than has been seen before. A rage deeper than deliberate and more serious than mere resolve...

Washington (dpa) - Donald Trump's slash-and-burn attacks against Mexicans, women, immigrants and military heroes has expanded to Muslims, provoking another round of outrage on Friday over the leading Republican White House hopeful. The business tycoon, who is seeking the conservative party's presidential nomination, is under fire for failing to rebuff anti-Muslim comments at a campaign rally Thursday. Trump indicated that he would look into getting rid of Muslims during a question and answer session at the event in Rochester, New Hampshire, according to broadcast footage and The Hill newspaper. One man stood up and said: "We have a problem in...

Tyler Vigan of the Harvard Law School highlights his new book, “Spurious Correlations,” which invites us to take a critical view of statistical correlations. Just because the divorce rate in Maine correlates with per capita consumption of margarine does not mean that we should cut back!

Donald Trump canceled his appearance Friday evening at a major campaign stop for the GOP presidential field in South Carolina as he faces criticism from both Republican and Democratic candidates over his failure to address claims that President Obama is a Muslim and "not even an American." Trump’s campaign announced in a statement Friday he no longer plans to speak at the Heritage Action Presidential Forum at the Bon Secours Arena in Greenville.

How long will we sit silent as we are fed these lies? There are some things that are more than uncomfortable, they are almost unbearable. One of those things is poverty. They say if all you have ever known is poverty it isn’t so bad because you don’t know any better. I always think that people who say that have never been poor. Since from time immemorial there has always been someone who has it better and if not there is always the iron clad law of “The Grass is always greener in someone else’s pasture.” When Glug the caveman...

Retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson has pulled to within 4 points of GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump, a new poll shows. In the New York Times/CBS News survey released Tuesday, Trump maintains the lead of the presidential pack, with 27 percent support. But Carson is within striking distance, at 23 percent, which is within the margin of error, making it a statistical dead heat.Carson's rise compared with his polling at 6 percent support in the pre-Aug. 6 debate Times/CBS News survey; Trump was at 24 percent in that earlier poll, showing Carson's gains the most significant in that time frame,...

Iconic CBS news anchor Dan Rather on Saturday praised the Robert Redford-starring Rathergate movie Truth for its accuracy and performances ahead of its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

HELSINKI (Reuters) – Finland’s government on Thursday proposed increasing capital gains tax and income tax on high earners to help pay for a 10-fold increase in refugees expected to arrive this year, its finance minister said.

More than 50 analysts for the Defense Intelligence Agency have complained to the Department of Defense's Inspector General that their reports are being fraudulently altered by "higher ups." The gist of the alterations has been to make the Administration's war against terror appear more successful than it actually is. "For the most part our efforts against ISIS have been ineffective," said one analyst requesting anonymity. "Despite the drone strikes and the President's tough talk, ISIS continues to gain strength. They have seized the American-made weapons abandoned by an Iraqi Army unwilling to fight. ISIS atrocities remain unabated. There is no...
