Conservative website Newsmax has pledged a very large donation to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, a new report in the Wall Street Journal states.
"Newsmax, a conservative news organization, last year pledged $1 million to the Clinton Foundation over a five-year period, according to a spokesman for Chris Ruddy, the organization’s CEO. Mr. Ruddy has been friends with the Clintons since 2007," reports the Journal.
"Through a spokesman, he said the donation wasn't tantamount to an endorsement of Mrs. Clinton’s potential campaign, though he thinks she would 'make a great presidential candidate.'"
Ruddy himself has even written a blog post for the Clinton Foundation website. The topic? "Public-Private Partnerships Advance Health Care in Mozambique."

Baffling and deeply disappointing.
I’ve been done with Newsmax for years. They feel like a false flag operation designed to help the left paint conservatives as nutty conspiracy theorists. ...that and relieve their readers of money.
Here is the wikipedia article on them if anyone wants to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsmax_Media
“Newsmax has a sizable stable of news correspondents and editorialists, including George Will, Kathleen Parker, Lanny Davis, and Alan Dershowitz. Newsmax regulars include Christopher W. Ruddy, David Limbaugh, Ben Stein, Steve Malzberg, Susan Estrich, Dr. Laura Schlessinger and Michael Reagan.”
Though I don’t see it often, I enjoyed the Stephen Malzburg show some to sometimes taping it and Michael Savage and others have been on. Maybe Anne Coulter and other conservative heavyweights have been on there.
I wish we did get OAN, One American News or however it is called, I’ve seen it mentioned here and saw them on youtube. We don’t get the Blaze either. They were okay.
I guess this means back to Fox, the Saudis no longer have any ownership in Fox I understand, sold interests about last week.
It doesn’t compute
Yep, soon as I finish typing this I am going to unsubscribe and send a little note to them telling them why.
I hear you. I keep getting their e-mails. Follow-the money. As soon as I finish typing I’m going to unsubscribe as well.
Anyone remember a frequent caller who introduced himself as “Carl from Oyster Bay”?
That was Carl Limbacher, who went to work for Chris Ruddy and Newsmax in the beginning.
Haven’t heard anything from him in years. Maybe he saw Ruddy was a phony and bailed early.
I’m back. . . that was easy.
Hillary probably has his FBI file.
Ruddy believes a million dollar donation is cheaper than being exposed
on whatever is in his FBI file.
What another fraud.
I stopped going to Newsmax after I discovered Free Republic.
It died a long tome ago for me.
How much of the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation’s money goes to pay the Clinton’s bills 100% ,150% ,LOL
My copy is about seven feet from my desk right now.
I honestly can’t imagine anyone thinking Hillary Clinton had the character to hold any public office.
It’s on the record what the woman has done over the last 30 years.
Her disrespect for women alone should have her scraping up dog droppings for a living.
The Clinton Foundation is nothing but a humongous money laundering operation to allow Bill and Hill to live on other people’s money like the grifters they have always been
It has the side benefit of providing a way to slip Chelsea a few hundred thousand dollars each year disguised as a salary.
Newsmax, literally, screws the pooch.
Thank God for Free Republic....
What the.....?
I’d quit reading at NewsMax if I already hadn’t done so ten years ago.
Very interesting!
Heck, they’ve run some sort of documentary on Hillary that isn’t flattering to her and they routinely run “Reagan: Rendezvous with Destiny” I think it’s called. I think Mike Reagan routinely is a guest on the show and their morning News anchor is JD Hayworth who use to be a representative in Arizona, Republican and anti-amnesty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Hayworth So, they’ll have some explaining to do.
They post “articles” by Susan Estrogen too???
And still use the name “News”Max???
