Just ahead of tonight's final debate (from which I shall be several thousand miles away):
As I've said for years - on radio, TV and in print - for me the overriding issue in American politics is the corruption. In the Obama era, we have seen the remorseless merging of the party and the state - in the IRS, in the Justice Department and elsewhere. Whatever one feels about, say, Scandinavia, they at least come to their statism and socialism more or less honestly. Not so the United States.
It's bad enough that Democrats aren't agitated about this corruption - but then it works to their advantage. Slightly more mysterious is why so many of my friends on the right aren't incensed by it. For months, conservative commentators assured us that, when it comes to straight arrows, no arrow is straighter than FBI honcho James Comey - non-partisan, career public servant, will follow the evidence whereso'er it leads; why, "no one in law enforcement" is "more capable of navigating through a political maelstrom" and any attempts to politicize the outcome will ensure that "Comey will resign in protest, and other high-level FBI officials could follow him out the door".
All bollocks. Bollocks on stilts. Like everything else the Clintons touch, Comey's FBI is hopelessly corrupted - and certainly more corrupt than J Edgar Hoover's FBI, at least in the sense that Hoover was independent enough not to get rolled. The revelations of what happened reveal Comey to be a hack and a squish: he offered immunity to Hillary's aides not to facilitate his investigation but to obstruct any further investigation; he allowed witnesses to Hillary's crimes to serve as her "lawyers"; and he physically destroyed the evidence - that is, the laptops.

Stalin was lawless. Hitler was lawless. Pol Pot was lawless. Mao was lawless. Castro was and is lawless.
Hillary Clinton belongs in their group. Political ideology to them is just a means to an end (Castro is a fan of Hitler, not Marx).
“You are pitiful isolated individuals; you are bankrupts; your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on / into the dustbin of history!” - Trotsky.
"Influential Conservatives" are in for a rude awakening... we are not just 'Trump followers' - we are the spearhead of a movement - - a movement that will toss corrupt elites into the dustbin of history...
What it boils down to is NO RULE OF LAW.
Comey and the cabal in DC have flat out declared some people are above the law. If people know in advance (as Comey informed us) that some people will be investigated and tried but not others for the same thing ... then there is no rule of law. It’s done. Finished.
What is the incentive to obey laws if you know from the outset, you’ve been explicitly told, that it does not apply equally to everyone?
Yes, yes, yes!
This, in essence, is what I have posted elsewhere over and over - to all the cuckservatives who condemn Donald Trump for ruining their chance to continue with corrupt business as usual:
None of the other oh-so-presidential 16 would touch the enormous RINO in the American Living Room:
The RNC’s complete refusal to censure and total willingness to oblige the pervasive complicity of both government and media with the Democrat (read: communist) agenda.
CNN cutting a Congressman’s appearance instantly when he mentioned Wikileaks is an outrage.
I call them all communists.
One of the many victories by the Left is over language: dictating to us what is permissible and what is not.
Control the language, and control the debate: The Left decides what we may call them, and what they will call us. We are thus perpetually on the defensive.
They have declared the name of what they truly are - communists - off limits to us. They substitute an ever-changing array of euphemisms designed to deceive their useful idiots.
I refuse to comply.
Just as I refuse to use the terms “gay” or “homosexual” in referring to a homoerotic behavior, so I refuse to use the terms “progressive” or “liberal” in referring to a communist ideology.
Cancles behavior and contempt for the public is straight out of Niccolo Maccchiaveli’s book “The Prince”. The book was written nearly 500 years ago and is still the companion guide to tyrants.
Mark Steyn Bump!And what we know of her is that she's stinkingly corrupt, above the law, and able to suborn entire government agencies in the cause of her corruption. Where do you think we're gonna be after eight years of that?Which would be more certain if Hillary were at all healthy. She takes almost a week to “prepare for the debate,” probably by peaking the effectiveness of her meds for that 90 minute time. And even then, just to walk down a few steps to the parking lot afterward she has a hand on the handrail, and WJC on her other arm. Trump walked down the same steps afterward - without noticing them any more than a 30 year old would.Oh, and it will be eight years.
She may not be remotely competent in 2020. To elect her this year would be to seriously risk a 25th Amendment crisis on top of all else.
A well-done to Mr. Steyn.
The saddest thing of all is not Hillary’s corruption — that’s now a well-documented fact.
The saddest thing of all is the realization that Ben Franklin’s pessimistic view of our Republic’s future (my tagline) is a hair’s breadth from coming to pass. The public is utterly corrupt.
For voters to tolerate this level of corruption is unthinkable to patriots. Yet, regardless of the final election result, we are certain to see a huge number of everyday citizens voting for an utterly corrupt woman. She is a woman who would — and actually did — steal bread from the mouths of tens of thousands of homeless and starvinmg children in earthquake-ridden Haiti!
And to think of the Republicans we once respected: the Bushes, Paul Ryan, Mark Levin, Erick Erickson, George Will, Fred Barnes, and Peggy Noonan — and all of them are corrupt to the core of their souls to prefer this Satan of a woman be elected!
Why if Trump didn’t come along when he did, then we wouldn’t in the least be hopeful for victory as we are right now.
Without the skill, courage, and self-sacrifice of Donald J. Trump, we’d be witnessing the certain downfall of the Republic with a Hillary, Jeb, Cruz, or Rubio in the Oval Office.
Bump.....
