“Citizens are the terrorists, right?”  Hillary nods multiple times. “We’re so worried about terrorism but we have terrorism on our own soil, our gun manufacturers, our ammunition manufacturers are making terrorists out of our citizens,”  Hillary’s agreement seems even more vehement.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FRMilfsimE

Shades of Chris Matthews' infamous thrill up his leg when listening to Barack Obama in 2008 . . . Fast forward to 2016, and we have ostensible Republican Nicolle Wallace getting the good kind of "chills" up her arm when listening to . . . Hillary Clinton talk about gun control. Morning Joe today played a clip of Hillary saying that many of the guns used to commit crimes in New York come from Bernie Sanders' home state of Vermont. For once, Clinton eschewed the grating tone that sends so many of us scrambling for the mute button. And that...

Hillary Clinton continued to put heat on Bernie Sanders on Monday for what she described as his failure to challenge the national gun lobby or to support what she called a “commonsense agenda” on gun control. “Most of the guns that are used in crimes and violence and killings in New York come from out of state. And the state that has the highest per capita number of those guns that end up committing crimes in New York” is Vermont, Clinton said at a panel on gun violence prevention in New York. Ahead of New York’s primary on 19 April,...

You've heard of the water pollution crisis in Flint, Michigan infecting residents and seeping into US politics, but the toxicity emanating from Vermont and trickling down throughout American politics is less known but no less serious. Last month, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy and 10 House members asked Secretary of State Kerry to investigate alleged Israeli human rights abuses and to determine whether they are reason enough to cut military aid. Leahy asked to look into “gross violations of human rights” by Israel (and Egypt), citing examples of alleged extrajudicial killings by both countries. The anti-Israel source of these allegations should...

Sometimes I wonder. This political season has given us much entertainment from both major parties. Hillary and Bernie for the Democrats, and Trump and Cruz turning in banner performances for the Republicans. Great entertainment, but very little leadership or hope for America’s future. Aside from her history as one of America’s most corrupt, dishonest and despicable politicians in American history, Hillary will now be widely remembered more for barking like a dog for the whole world to see. That image, one of the most hilarious and entertaining images ever on display in a national political contest will surely come back...

photo ops can suddenly turn on a politician and bite their South Side — in front of the same leering cameras. Ask Hillary Clinton after her awkward Thursday experience attempting to enter the New York City subway. Clinton’s had Secret Service chauffeurs for 23 years now. She hasn’t driven a car this century. She prohibits traveling press from photographing her boarding chartered private jets. But with the New York primary just 11 days away and another elderly ex-New Yorker undermining her sure-fire, now lame nomination campaign by winning six of the last seven contests, millionairess Clinton wanted to look like...

Bernie Sanders may hail from Brooklyn, but it's clearly been a while since the 74-year-old presidential candidate took the F train to Coney Island. In an interview with the Daily News, the transcript of which was released Monday, Sanders was asked whether he was going to campaign in the subway, as well as whether he knew how to ride it. "I know how to ride the subways. I've been on them once or twice," Sanders, who is no stranger to traveling with the public, told the Daily News. "Do you really?" the interviewer asked. "How do you get on the...

Only days after falsely claiming that Israel killed more than 10,000 innocent Palestinians during Operation Protective Edge, Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders found himself on Friday again facing questions about his knowledge, or lack thereof, of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In an MSNBC interview on Friday, Sanders was asked whether he had an opinion on whether Israel should withdraw to the 1967 borders. "Not at this point," Sanders replied. In the same MSNBC interview, Sanders said, "What I believe, first of all, is there are good people on both sides and there are political opportunists on both sides....

Cowardice in the Face of Leftist Jew-Hate How Bernie Sanders and other leftists help whitewash anti-Semitism on the Left. April 11, 2016 Daniel Greenfield    Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. At a Bernie Sanders event in New York City, a black “community activist” began ranting about “Zionist Jews” running the Federal Reserve and Wall Street. At previous events, Sanders had been quick to condemn what he claimed was bigoted and Islamophobic rhetoric by Republicans. But when confronted with the real thing by a left-wing activist...

According to St. Louis, Mo., news station KMOV News 4, the State of Missouri’s Department of Motor Vehicles has permitted personalized terrorism license plates, that read “JIHAD1” and “HAMAS.” In response to emails it received from viewers, News 4 investigated a Missouri license plate reading ‘JIHAD 1’. According to News4: “… examined the policies for granting or denying personalized license plates [and] made several requests for an on-camera interview with a representative of the Missouri Department of Motor Vehicles on the State’s reasons for allowing the JIHAD plate, but no one was made available to talk.” The Muslim couple...

UN-Funded NGO Honors Murderers with Tree Planting Celebrating the killers of Jews with funding from European governments. April 11, 2016 Nan Jacques Zilberdik    Reprinted from Palestinian Media Watch.  On Friday, a Palestinian NGO, Union of Agricultural Work Committees, held a tree planting ceremony honoring 209 "Martyrs of the popular uprising." Among these "Martyrs" are numerous Palestinian terrorists and murderers, who have murdered and attempted to murder Israelis during the wave of terror attacks that since September 2015 has included numerous stabbings, shootings, and car ramming attacks, killing 34 and wounding over 400 Israelis. Several foreign governments and international...

The address “1209 North Orange Street” in Wilmington, Del., has become known in recent years as the epicenter of U.S. corporate secrecy. The squat, split-level building is the official address of over 285,000 companies, many of which are looking to take advantage of Delaware’s Panama-like secrecy rules, tax incentives, and business-friendly case law.In the wake of the recent “Panama Papers” scandal, this unassuming brick office has received renewed scrutiny from the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Telegraph, and advocates for corporate tax reform.But one of its tenants may come as a surprise—a company owned by Democratic presidential frontrunner...

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Sunday called for a more "balanced" American Middle East policy, deeming Israel's actions in the 2014 Gaza war "disproportionate." "The only way we succeed (in the Middle East) is that if the United States plays the role which is of course we are going to support Israel, but you cannot ignore the needs of the Palestinian people," Sanders told CNN in an interview. Dismissing the relevance of his Jewish background, Sanders replied, "I would hope that every person in this country wants to see the misery of never-ending war and conflict ended in the...

It's hard to say why former President Bill Clinton went so far off-script to defend his 1994 anti-crime law against Black Lives Matter hecklers at a Philadelphia rally for his wife's presidential campaign.

Well whoop-dee-doo: a Democrat, Bill Clinton, finally told the truth about Black Lives Matter. Heckled by BLM protesters, Clinton yelled, "You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter." Amen, Bill. Stats confirm that the real threat to young blacks is other young blacks, murdering each other in epidemic record-breaking numbers in major cities (controlled by Democrats with strict gun laws) across America. And yet BLM and other so-called civil rights advocacy groups ignore black-on-black violence. Make no mistake about it: Clinton slapping BLM with the truth has nothing to do with him giving a rat's derrière...

President Obama insisted Sunday that there will be no White House or political influence on the FBI or the Justice Department as they look into the security of the private email system Hillary Clinton used for government work when she was secretary of state. "I can guarantee that," Obama said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday." It was his first interview with the network in two years. Obama also defended his former secretary of state, even as he said that he had to be "careful" because of the ongoing investigation. He strongly suggested that the mishandled classified documents that...

ontender for candidacy in the 2016 presidential elections, has stated that "Israel killed 10,000 innocent Palestinians (in the 2014 Operation Protective Edge in Gaza). As a result, my friends in the Israeli left have decided to write him an open letter: Dear Bernie, We are writing to you with much appreciation and esteem to tell you that - You belong with us. Come, emigrate to Israel and leave the dirty work to Hillary Clinton, your competitor for the Democratic candidacy. She is intelligent, she is not Jewish, she thinks like you, but knows how to hide it. Come to our...

In a Philadelphia rally for Hillary’s presidential campaign yesterday, Bill Clinton left the reservation for Democrats, rebuking #BlackLivesMatter demonstrators who repeatedly interrupted him, protesting the crime bill he signed into law (and that Hillary had campaigned for). Here is a short version of the now famous confrontation, in which he says to the BLMers, "You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter. Tell the truth." And he even defends his welfare reforms.

Laura Bush, the former first lady, has hinted she would rather vote for Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump, saying she wants the next American president to be someone who cares about women in Afghanistan. The Democratic front-runner is the only female candidate left in the race and visited Afghanistan four times during her stint as Secretary of State.

NEW YORK — Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders struck a more conciliatory tone Friday toward his rival Hillary Clinton, saying that “of course” she is qualified to be president and adding that he is eager to return to a discussion of “real issues.” Sanders’s assessment came two days after a speech in which he ticked off ways in which he said Clinton is unqualified for the presidency, including her acceptance of special interest money, her support of free trade deals and her support of the Iraq war. During an appearance at a “town hall” meeting broadcast live on NBC’s “Today”...
