Michael KriegerSeptember 14, 2016 In yesterday’s post, The Death of Mainstream Media, I noted: At the end of the day, I have concluded that my focus on Hillary as of late (vs. Trump) has as much to with my disgust for the mainstream media as anything else. To see these organs, which have destroyed this country by keeping the people uninformed for decades, now rally around a sickly, corrupt, oligarch coddling politician as the empire enters the collapse stage is simply too much to stomach… The only positive thing to happen during this election season is the death of mainstream...

Minutes ago the New York Times, which earlier today published an article about Hillary's and Tim Kaine's new book selling fewer than 3,000 copies in the first week, released its best sellers list to industry insiders. Hillary's book, Stronger Together, made the best sellers list in the No. 15 and final spot on the nonfiction extended list. Tim Kaine is now a New York Times bestselling author.

Former writer from the Huffington Post decries the liberal censorship and lies of the left-wing media. Click here for video. This guy is tells it like it is. A former liberal exposes the blatant hypocrisy and propaganda being spewed by the elite Left. A good listen.

Hillary Clinton’s doctor has released a letter stating that the Democratic nominee has “non-contagious bacterial pneumonia” on top of her previously publicized hypothyroidism and seasonal pollen allergy....

It is said that history turns on small hinges, and now maybe the presidential race does, too. For hinges don’t get much smaller than the 20-second video of Hillary Clinton collapsing and being lifted into her security ­vehicle. Without it, Americans would still be clueless about Clinton’s serious health issues. Because of it, she was forced to admit she has pneumonia. Because they were scooped by the video, an army of journalists is now under pressure to report facts instead of covering them up. Most important, voters got fresh proof that Clinton’s first instinct is to lie, and then lie...

REUTERS - The 97% number just pops up everywhere because it is a multiple result of everything that is true. 97% of scientists believe in global warming. The other 3% believe in climate change. And 97% of registered Democrats believe anything. 97% of organic gardeners and New Agers believe that Hillary will be the most competent president after Barack Obama who was more competent than George Washington and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It is rumored that Ginsburg was more competent than president Béla Lugosi. And just as sane. 97% of Democrats believe ISIS has been contained and the 3% left believe...

Former President Bill Clinton is being defensive about his wife’s health. CBS anchor Charlie Rose pressed him repeatedly with questions about Hillary Rodham Clinton’s health condition. She’d collapsed in New York City on Sunday after ducking out of the 9/11 memorial ceremony. “It’s almost certain she’s in better health than her opponent,” Bill Clinton said. “But we don’t know, because he hasn’t disclosed.” Clinton appeared frustrated after Rose repeatedly asked him why the campaign didn’t release more health records to reassure American voters.

Well, depending on what that “fuller” record could reveal. Who knows what Bubba might have brought home from the office? What makes things difficult for Hillary now is that no matter what she says a lot of people won’t believe her, and even those who want to believe her will take her words with a large serving of salt. Her humiliated press spokesman, Brian Fallon, who had to go out over the past weeks to say things he was not required to actually believe, says Hillary does not suffer from “other undisclosed conditions.” Hillary has a record of dismissing as...

Numerous conservative websites are reporting on the fact that prior to Hillary’s possible seizure and collapse at the 9/11 ceremony, she was wearing a pair of cobalt blue sunglasses. They note that Z1 cobalt blue lenses manufactured by Zeiss, are known to have a preventive effect on seizures associated with ... neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s which share some common symptoms. What’s even more disturbing though is what is revealed in this picture from the 9/11 ceremony. Hillary is wearing the blue glasses ..a woman ...appears to be continuously monitoring her pulse. ... One other tell from this...

Just when Hillary Clinton was stepping up her complaints about media bias, it turns out her bigger problem is media aversion. The way in which the Democratic nominee and her team utterly botched the belated disclosure of her pneumonia took a modest problem and made it a thousand times worse. It reinforced the image of excessive secrecy and calculated non-disclosure that has dogged Clinton throughout this campaign. It made a mockery of the campaign’s criticism of conservative critics who were speculating that she was really sick. And it was all totally unnecessary. I can’t say it any better than former...

Somebody must have sneezed into the punch bowl at the Democratic Party. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), revealed Monday that he, like Hillary Clinton, had also been diagnosed with pneumonia recently. Schumer, who is expected to take over the No. 1 leadership spot among Senate Democrats if they win back the majority in November, said he had been diagnosed with the illness several weeks ago.

The illness that sickened Hillary Clinton with pneumonia and caused her to have to be escorted away from September 11 ceremonies in New York on Sunday also struck down several members of her campaign team at Clinton headquarters in Brooklyn, PEOPLE has learned. "Everyone's been sick," a campaign source tells PEOPLE. At the end of August, two weeks before Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia, a debilitating bug was making the rounds among staff at her headquarters and campaign aides who travel with Clinton, a source tells PEOPLE. At least half a dozen senior staff were felled, including campaign manager Robby...

Now, a group of data scientists, journalists and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs is seeking to upend that reporting tradition, providing detailed projections of who is winning at any given time on Election Day in key swing states, and updating the information in real time from dawn to dusk. The plan is likely to cause a stir among those involved in reporting election results and in political circles, who worry about both accuracy and an adverse effect on how people vote. Previous early calls in presidential races have prompted congressional inquiries. The company spearheading the effort, VoteCastr, plans real-time projections of presidential...

T.S. Eliot thought April is the cruelest month. But he didn't live long enough to sample the 2016 presidential campaign. Besides, he skipped the country to take up citizenship in England. September and October are the cruelest months this year, leading out of a long, hot summer to the autumn road that will take us to the momentous decision. Who will preside over the Oval Office for the next four years? In Eliot's poem "The Waste Land," there's the reprise of familiar words he heard at the end of the evening at the pub: "HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME." They're...

Hillary told another whopper today, one of her typical I am a heroic woman who has stood up to bullies my whole life lies. Speaking to a blog called “Humans of New York” on Thursday, Hillary shared a “rare personal message” – as Politico put it. She claimed that when she took the LSAT during her senior year of college, men taking the test shouted at her, saying her admission to law school could cost them their draft deferments, forcing them to go to Vietnam, where they would die. The moral of the story was that she had to “learn...

At the NBC News “Commander in Chief” forum on Wednesday night aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid in New York, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton invented a new alibi for her mis-handling of classified information, telling host Matt Lauer that she used a secure server when she needed to send classified information. In July, FBI director James Comey revealed that Clinton not only withheld and deleted work-related emails, but also sent classified emails — many marked as such — on her private, non-secure email server. Clinton told Lauer on Wednesday evening: "I communicated about classified material on a wholly separate system....

NEW YORK – Kathleen Willey, a White House aide during the Clinton administration, stated during a radio interview on Sunday night that she personally heard the White House Counsel advise Hillary Clinton twenty-two years ago to tell government investigators she could not recall events related to numerous scandals that were being probed at the time. Willey in 1993 served as a volunteer aid working in the White House mail room and later in the social office. In early 1994, she took a paid position in the White House counsel’s office, and it is there, she says, that she overheard the...

It was revealed this week that suspected brain damage was a key factor in FBI Director James Comey's decision to recommend against indicting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her serial lawbreaking and security breaches regarding her emails. "In the interview with our agents the former Secretary came across as a person of seriously diminished mental capacity," FBI spokesman William Dodge explained. "She couldn't recall ever having been briefed on security matters—despite being shown her signature on a document affirming she had. She professed not to know that the letter 'C' on emails meant 'confidential. She couldn't remember who...

To the Never Trumpers, who are helping to elect the liar and crook, Hillary Clinton, here's a little walk down memory lane that highlights the routine deceit and disrespect toward the American people by Hillary and her Democrat cronies: Jonathan Gruber, the democrat architect of Obamacare, one of the biggest lies ever perpetuated on the American people, truly sums up in one statement, the underlying platform of Obama, Hillary and the Democrats over the last 7 1/2 years: "LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IS A HUGE POLITICAL ADVANTAGE." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/11/12/another-tape-surfaces-obamacare-architect-calling-american-people-stupid.html Gruber: "If you had a law which said healthy people are going to...

Almost all of us have been a victim of accidentally spreading fake news at one time. A trusted friend emails you a link to an article that is red meat for the conservative base; it sounds legitimate, and the name of the site even sounds official. You forward the article and post it on Facebook and Twitter — and then the backlash is embarrassing. Multiple people point out you’re wrong, and you feel like an idiot. But how were you to know, especially in this information overload, social media era? It has become normal to quickly skim articles and headlines....
