Good stuff bray. Hillary Clintons penchant for graft and corruption knows no bounds.AT has a piece this morning by Clarice Feldman that shows how 20 mideast countries got 151 billion in weapons oked by her state dept.
its here”:
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/08/hillary_gets_more_than_a_little_help_from_her_media_friends.html

Arms Sales to Other Clinton Foundation contributors

Arms deals:

Under Clinton’s leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation

[snip]

The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation.

[snip]

These extra sales were part of a broad increase in American military exports that accompanied Obama’s arrival in the White House. The 143 percent increase in U.S. arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors compares to an 80 percent increase in such sales to all countries over the same time period.

American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements.

[snip]

The State Department formally approved these arms sales even as many of the deals enhanced the military power of countries ruled by authoritarian regimes whose human rights abuses had been criticized by the department. Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar all donated to the Clinton Foundation and also gained State Department clearance to buy caches of American-made weapons even as the department singled them out for a range of alleged ills, from corruption to restrictions on civil liberties to violent crackdowns against political opponents.
...............
....and than another 16 countries hit her for yet another 151 billion in arms also legitimized by her state dept.
So when you see the mid east a powder keg with a terrorist on every corner you don’t have to wonder where the weapons came from.

Of course they all have these PACs and use them to cover their corruption or they use their spouses. It’s just that the Clintons know ABDNCBSFOX is going to cover for them no matter how obvious it is.

I am on the fence about the tattoo. But I am tempted.

How about that loser of a football player refusing to stand for the National Anthem? And that goofball of an Olympian although I know there were questions about his story.

Point being is these athletes are so full of themselves maybe it’s time we stopped watching them. That guy for the 49’ers is a millionaire and he flips America the bird?

Somebody gave him money to make that scene, probably a George Soros group. If we had people on our side up there in congress this sort of thing would be publicly excoriated.

We got one guy, George Soros, determined to destroy this country. With a little help from the Obamas and Clintons they are doing a fine job and from the Republicans we hear nothing.

Until we get a Republican running who isn’t benefitting from these do-nothings. Then they’re all over the place forming neverTrump groups.

CAUSE WHEN IT’S A REPUBLICAN BEING DEMONIZED THE GOP ELITE GOT FISTS AND NERVE AND IRE.

Otherwise they are timid and quiet.

Wallace is confused about the immigration issue. She lays it out:
Build the Wall
No Amnesty
No Citizenship
No Sanctuary Cities
Commit a crime and you are out

Chris wants to know if 11 million gone immediately

She explains you simply need to enforce the law.

He will have none of that.

It'll be very interesting to see how the MSM tries to defend Hillary's quite weird public speech from a few days ago on the Sunday morning talk shows.

A lady,Martha Bonetta, now on FNC talking about how her family farm was just hit with all kinds of regulations by locals demanding permits for this and that and the rest. She was threatened with fines of up to 15,000 per day for non- compliance.
The commies are everywhere trying to kill off freedom and capitalism.
.............
perhaps the worst is an elected Republican in Louisiana Sen.Perry who is trying to kill the Cajun Navy for not having enough permits or training. Seems they but a barrier in front of the launching ramps so the cajun navy can not launch their boats without going around the barrier which would be illegal.
Typical asholllll bureaucrats.
Its here:
..............
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3462471/posts

here’s a clip: from the source link that’s here:

http://www.katc.com/story/32827279/cajun-navy-faces-challenges-following-flood-rescues
...........
They call themselves the “Cajun Navy.”

The group started during Hurricane Katrina, when hundreds from Acadiana went to New Orleans with their boats to make rescues.

“Between us all, we took out quite a bit of people,” said Doug Bienvenue, a member of the group.

Now the “Cajun Navy” is back, but the fleet is facing a few challenges.

Bienvenue is an original member of the fleet, so when GoFundMe accounts and t-shirt sales started popping up throughout flood relief under the “Cajun Navy” name, it didn’t sit well with him.

“Cajun Navy does not sell anything like t-shirts,” said Bienvenue. “We go out to help people, non-profit, from our hearts.”

A Texas man tried to copyright the “Cajun Navy” brand, but couldn’t. He said he had good intentions.

“Hoping to have a situation where I can help some of the flood victims,” said the Texas man. “I have an employee who lives there in Greenwell Springs who lost everything.”

And Louisiana State Senator Jonathan Perry is worried groups, like this one, need regulation and training.

“It’s going to take some work, but it’s very doable to eliminate the liability from the state and also put a cost,” said Perry in an interview with KPEL Radio. “Even if it’s at $25 or $50 training seminar where the person has some type of identification.”

But Bievenue said what the group does has nothing to do with money or liability, it’s simply saving lives.

“Nonprofit. That’s what it’s all about. It’s about saving lives,” said Bienvenue. “That’s what it’s about. We’re not worried about what we have to go through, or how many hours we have to work.”
................
So far the Cajun Navy has saved hundreds and hundreds of lives by taking their outboadrs,many with officers on board,right to the homes and people in desperate need and rescuing them.since when is this against the law.!!
...............
YOu gotta wonder if the CAJUN ARMY a group that is thenext group to be regulated.The CAJUN ARMY IS responsible for rebuilding countless homes for those devestated by flooding in Louisiana. They better bring a bunch of bureaucrats for these guys since there are thousands and thousands of them at for work from nearby states as well.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
A new group called the Cajun Army is hitting the streets across South Louisiana, helping people with recovery efforts.

MORE
2016 Historic Flooding

Similar to the Cajun Navy, who provided countless water rescues when flood waters were at their highest, the group offers a ‘more boots on the ground’ approach to help those in need.

Suzanne Foret recently enlisted and joined fellow soldiers to gut a home on Lake Avenue in Baton Rouge.

“It feels really good to get out there and help each other and help out other people and get this situation handled,” Foret said. “We’re taking care of each other. Louisiana takes care of each other and that’s what we’re doing.”

Volunteers are not just coming from Louisiana. The group started a week ago under the command of Chris King and two of his friends. Now thanks to social media and a walkie-talkie phone app, the force is now about 3,000 volunteers strong from all over the country.

“We’ve got people in Wisconsin, Texas, Mississippi, and Florida,” King said. “We got all kind of people that are connected with us working behind the scenes from computers.”

King said he never expected the group to catch on the way it has, but said it is a blessing to be a blessing to others.

“The three of us that kind of kicked this thing off we look at each other going ‘what in the world did we start?’ But it’s something special,” King added.

Despite the explosion of recruits, the group is a well-oiled machine, with some crews deployed in homes and others delivering supplies and even food.

Raejean Tubre said she was actually helped by the group. It is something that encouraged her to sign up.

“Once I saw how awesome it was to be helped, I immediately went and offered my own time,” she said.

Volunteers are working long days, but no one is getting paid. In fact, the group is not even asking for money. They say what is most needed is more people to get involved.

“The need is out there and we just need people,” Tubre said.

While there is no salute or uniform, the army is just ordinary people looking to do some extraordinary work.

While Kaepernick has to right to protest like that, the 49ers also have the right to cut him for what amounts to insubordination. Not to mention the fact he doesn’t seem to want to play with the 49ers, either.

Thanks

Now Chris says Trump is lying about the situation of blacks. Apparently black youth is only 19% unemployment which is a completely bogus number. Even says Trump does not know how wonderful things are for blacks.

At least Tapper is letting Pence speak and lay out immigration to him.

I can’t watch motorboat Wall-a$$ anymore.

Thank you for doing it for us.

Hey Walice!

Why didn’t you criticize the BLM when they laid out these statistics about horrible conditions facing blacks? Trump just repeated them.

Walice freaking out about Trump going after “black-vote”.

Now Chris is mocking Trump for not going into an inner city to have a black event like his fellow Dems do. Now he is lecturing Trump for not going into black neighborhood.

Scolding Trump for Trump tweeting about the Dwayne Wade cousin getting shot in Chicago. Guess only Dems are allowed to talk about blacks.

Now Chris is backing Harpy’s Alt-Right screed. Complaining that Breitbart is outside the mainstream.

Kellyanne knocks that attack out of the park.

NeverTrump News is a joke.

Chris Wallace fixated on Trump having a rally for a 100 % inner city BLACK audience. Is’nt that a bigoted and r@cist position?

That is the Democrat position.

Trump sets up rallies to speak to Citizens of all shapes, sizes, and age.

Inner City blacks can do what I do, watch his rallies on any number of live feed streams and join the discussion on free republic

Kelly is much easier on the eyes than Wallace. Wallace’s questions stink. Kelly did well with him this morning.
Why do we watch this? We never learn much from these exchanges.

Wallace asked Conway what or why do you think "the end of Clinton is in the new emails."

Conway said that Clinton did something she didn't think was possible, she made her trust problem even worse. Reports from AP and ABC and other entities that Clinton was doing pay for play. Wallace changes subject.

Next Trump, backing away from his immigration policy. Asks Conway to clear up.

Conway - build the wall, no amnesty, no sanctuary cities. Interrupt - Wallace asks about deportation force, all 11 million have to go. Conway says the softening is more approach than policy. He wants to find a fair and humane way to enforce the law with the same agencies. You are leaving the door open to people living in the country, not breaking laws other than being here illegally, you can stay. Conway says not exactly. And for those who are concerned about Trump's position, compare and contrast with Clinton. For sanctuary cities, catch and release. Give Trump credit for trying to address a tough issue.

Next line of question, "What do you ave to lose?" Wallace says Trump totally misrepresented the facts, black unemployment is 19%, not 56%. How can Trump address the problem if he doesn't understand what it is? Conway says 58% is the number of them not working (true, Wallace can;t argue that point, and voila, "not working" and "unemployed" are not the same thing). Wallace challenges that rump has not gone into inner city during his campaign? [My comment - Only tried once, Chicago, and it was cut off to curtail outbreak of riot.]

Wallace tries to make hay with the tweet "African Americans will now vote Trump" after shooting. Conway says she was glad that Trump expressed condolences. Conway says the campaign is going to continue to approach all people, this is an American election. Hillary missed opportunities and gave an insult laden speech. Wallace brings up that Trump hired Bannon - plays the same headlines.

Conway says she reports to Trump, not Bannon, and Hillary's speech was content free. Hillary is trying to divert attention from her trust issues by bringing up Trump's consultants.

Last questions on debate prep. Is he prepping, is Ingraham his foil ... Conway says Trump is not a conventional candidate, he will be prepared for the debates, unlike Hillary who will be crammed? Is he going to hold mock debates? Maybe. We appreciate insights from Laura Ingraham. The authentic Trump that you have seen is the one who will appear at debate. Unlike Clinton who has to memorize lines.

Conway did good. I didn't pick up any new angle of attack or defense.

From another thread today:

LA Times/USC Poll - Clinton 44.2 Trump 43.6 for 8/28

Los Angeles Times ^ | 8/28/16 | LA Times Posted on 8/28/2016, 5:24:22 AM by freedom1st

...the comment was "This is just noise at this point."

The noise you hear may be faint.....but it is the precursor to a massive tectonic shift....the continental plates deep down in the nations political psyche are slowly grinding....the resulting Tsunami will sweep away the rotten debris of over half a century of lies from the Dim-GOPe coalition.

Pence talking about her speech as a sign of desperation.

She was calling millions of Americans racist.

Again Tapper is not interrupting and letting him speak.

Trump is trying to make AGA and she is only talking about racism.

She is the politics of divisiveness.

Tapper asks about David Duke.

Pence said this is no more relevant as the father of the guy who killed all those people in Florida support of Hitlery.

I love Pence’s soft voice that packs a punch.

So on Meet the Press, now on cause Olympics are done....Reince Priebus is attempting to describe Trump’s immigration policy.

Priebus says Trump is going to be “human”, a word I translate as, possibly but I whisper, some form of amnesty.

So okay I been thinking about this. Last week I told the story of Beelow-guy who does my lawn from Ecuador, and his cute son Jaden or some such.

Now Beelow is an illegal, not sure how this son works out.

Once we get somebody elected who doesn’t think that never putting up a fence or vetting those who come into the country is how a country should be run, we are going to have to deal with the Beelows and Jadens of the country.

I am not convinced that sending Beelow and Jaden back to Ecuador solves anything. On the other hand, before screaming at me.....there’s got to be a way,.

How about this.....selective amnesty? Now in Beelows case he has a child born here in America so I don’t know how that works. But let us suppose that the new rule is round up EVERYBODY illegally here and send them home.

America would lose a good worker and law-abiding human in the form of Beelow. Not sure they could send his son away as he was born here in this country. And don’t tell me it was part of Beelow’s plan, this anchor baby thing. It probably was but nonetheless little Jaden was born in America through no fault of his own. Not sure deporting him is the fair thing. Then we get back to the argument about parents of anchor babies and so okay, it’s confusing.

Do NOT forget that WE allowed these people entry to our country, almost with open arms. Yes we should make it right but I am not sure that deporting Beelow, his wife probably and his American-born son is the way to go.

On the other hand, the Beelows of America need to know that they need to come forward, apply for citizenship, have no criminal activity on their record, then do whatever is decided to get legal citizenship, without deporting them.

anybody thinks we’re going to deport eleven million people, I got a bridge to sell.

BUT....but, but, but....if the Beelows of the world do not stand up and do what is required, ie come out of the shadow, apply for citizenship, pay taxes on their salary....THEN THEY ARE DEPORTED, along with their anchor babies, no questions, no doubts.

In other words, okay we did the stupid and let you in. But you’re either going to do it my way or take the highway.

I think Trump is struggling with this dilemma but guys, I think he has the answer.

Because there IS an answer.

More on this later.
