Original title of the article - "I Protected Hillary Clinton In The Secret Service - Here's Why Her 'Fainting' Video Really Scares Me" I protected First Lady Hillary Clinton, President Bill Clinton, and their family while I served in the Secret Service Uniform Division as an officer from 1991-2003. By now, you have most likely seen the startling video of Hillary Clinton ‘fainting.’ Through the lens of my 29-year-career in The Service, I can see what a naked-eyed media pundit cannot: There is something seriously wrong with Mrs. Clinton.Pneumonia or overheating are highly suspect excuses and I’ll explain why.(snip) Here’s...

Last week was a very bad week for Hillary Clinton. She saw doctors overwhelmingly say her health is an issue in the campaign; she took off her now requisite few days to rest and slandered Donald Trump’s supporters, calling half of them a basket of “deplorables.” These disasters could not be covered up by her lapdog media and they have damaged her. And there were two more major developments that could meld into a serious stumbling block for Hillary. Clinton spoke before a Black Baptist convention and was only able to fill 20% of the seats placed in the room....

CNN is one of those ubiquitous aspects of the American soundscape which I’ve always looked upon as part of our gradual cultural decline. Whether you’re in a dentist’s waiting room, or simply passing by a restaurant on your way home-as I was this weekend-you can’t help but overhear one of that network’s correspondents, news anchors or hosts do their best KCNA imitation. The fact that so many millions of Americans unconsciously imbibe its propaganda on a daily basis merely illustrates how difficult it will be to craft a counter-narrative to the open borders, liberal interventionist propaganda which shapes our government’s...

This was tested with a Henry Lever Action Rifle and a S&W M&P 22. The purpose of the test was that there are some people do use a 22 long rifle for home defense. If they missed their target and hit the drywall in their home. The video was demonstrated by 22Plinkster and discovered most of the .22 rounds went through 9 drywall and some into the tenth drywall, its very impressive for a 22 round. See the test here.

Looking back at 9/11 through the tunnel of years, like watching the painfully blue light of the memorial towers of light sweep the sky, is both remote and vast. Looking back through time is like looking at a mountain or the sky. At a skyscraper or thousands of graves. A vastness beyond meaning. "The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here," Lincoln said in the Gettysburg Address. It was not that way at Gettysburg, but it has been that way at Ground Zero. All the words fall...

Did Hillary Clinton avoid going to the emergency room following her fainting spell Sunday to avoid exposing her medical treatment to other doctors who might have leaked the news to the public? The New York Post made that shocking claim today based on tips from unnamed (likely law enforcement) sources. According to the Post, Clinton was on her way to an emergency room, but detoured to her daughter Chelsea Clinton’s apartment instead "to keep details of her medical treatment under wraps." Secret Service protocol called for the Democratic presidential nominee to be rushed to a state-designated Level I Trauma Center...

I believe the Deep State postponed the election today, using Clinton’s probably staged “health event” as the opening act of a drama that will unfold over the next several days to few weeks. The Deep State is in the process of pulling Clinton out of the game. The Deep State knows several things. First, they know that the polls they manipulate showing that Clinton is ahead of or head-to-head with Trump are deliberate, doctored lies. They know that the true numbers demonstrate her campaign is disintegrating. This is reinforced by the fact that during her campaign appearances she plays to...

Dr. Ben Carson was a world-renowned neurosurgeon before he ran for President. If anyone understands the potential neurological issues facing Hillary after her collapse on 9/11, it’s him. Dr. Ben Carson told Buzzfeed he has real concerns about Hillary’s health: “In the case of Hillary Clinton, because she has had a brain injury in the past and there is a question of venous sinus thrombosis, the result of a recent specialized MRI would be very helpful. The stakes are too high for us to blindly elect someone to the presidency of the United States when we have the possibility of...

“Now is the time for all good political leaders to come to the aid of their party,” said Don Fowler, who helmed the DNC from 1995 to 1997, during Bill Clinton’s presidency, and has backed Hillary Clinton since her 2008 presidential bid. “I think the plan should be developed by 6 o’clock this afternoon.” ... Fowler noted that at one of his first-ever DNC meetings, in 1972, he supported a decision to nominate Sargent Shriver — a member of the Kennedy clan — to replace Thomas Eagleton as George McGovern’s vice presidential nominee, the only time either major party has...

After collapsing yesterday at the 9/11 Memorial, Hillary Clinton was taken to her daughter, Chelsea Clinton’s apartment at THE WHITMAN BUILDING, 21 EAST 26TH STREET, 4TH FLOOR- FLATIRON DISTRICT, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, 10010. In fact, the Secret Service was going to follow protocol and take Mrs. Clinton to Bellevue Hospital, but several Clinton campaign aides demanded that the ailing Democrat nominee be taken to her daughter’s place. Strangely, Chelsea Clinton’s 10.5 million dollar apartment shares an address with a company known as METROCARE HOME SERVICES, INC. 21 East 26th Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10010. They have the...

Reflecting governmental views, almost universally the media – not only the established mastheads but even think-tank journals – are aghast at the thought of a Trump victory. This is true not only in the US but here in Australia. Those, like P.J. O’Rourke, who were mortified by Hillary’s dishonesty, appalling lapses in security, and aggressive pursuit of failed Obama energy and health-care policies still favoured her over Trump. The reasons were cited as being Trump’s assertive offensiveness to opponents (including to my favourite candidate, Ted Cruz) and ◾protectionist statements (though Hillary’s criticism of free trade are not much different) ◾forthright...

In Medieval times, Kings and Queens interested in maintaining control over small, outlying geographical areas arranged a complex system of fiefdoms, vesting feudal lords with their imprimatur to tell the local serfs and vassals what to do, and granting them the “power” to extract taxes – a portion of which would be given to the royals. Despite Constitutional strictures created to insure the contrary, the United States federal government has followed pretty much the same template, albeit on a bureaucratic, rather than monarchical, level. Case in point, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is showing once more that it is...

A little, that is. Shadi Hamid writes in the LA Times about why Islam isn't like other faiths -- as I've long been explaining here. He explains the reason the Quran is different from the Bible in very articulate terms: Contrary to what many think, there is no Christian equivalent to Koranic "inerrancy," even among far-right evangelicals. Muslims believe the Koran is not only God's word, but God's actual speech -- in other words, every single letter and word in the Koran comes directly from God. This seemingly semantic difference has profound implications. If the Koran is God's speech, and...

A former senior EPA official known for coordinating with environmentalists slammed the White House for pushing back on agency plans to regulate hydraulic fracturing for oil and natural gas, text messages show. Michael Goo, EPA’s policy chief at the time, texted Sierra Club lobbyist John Coequyt that if environmentalists “want any hope of regulation of fracking then give us more time to try and remove the gun from our head and talk sense into OMB dickheads.” “If you want the oil and gas nsps to give fracking a free pass, as OMB would like then don’t give us the extension,”...

By completely overhauling the old rules of the business. Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported on an energy bonanza. A company discovered a new field with “the equivalent of at least two billion barrels of oil” that “has the promise to become one of the biggest energy finds of the past decade.” But the discovery wasn’t made by a foreign company in the Amazon, or deep in the waters off the coast off Africa, or in Kazakhstan—or any of the other politically treacherous, high-risk, low-infrastructure places where Big Oil has been prospecting for gigantic new gushers. Instead, the lucky...

A man bicycled down Charles Street Monday morning, shouting support for Donald Trump, and pulled up to the crowd of protesters. Shoving broke out and he landed on the street before police walked him back. "See that?" he shouted, referring to the protesters. "See the kind of pigs they are?" It was a moment's confrontation during the tense, but peaceful, rallies and protests outside Trump's appearance Monday at the Baltimore Convention Center. The Peoples Power Assembly had planned to protest outside the venue, where the Republican presidential nominee was scheduled to address the National Guard Association of the United States...

Hillary Clinton embraced a young child after leaving her daughter's apartment - despite suffering from pneumonia. The Democratic presidential candidate was diagnosed with the illness after she collapsed at an 'incredibly stifling' 9/11 ceremony in New York. Pneumonia is a contagious illness that is spread from person-to-person when small droplets of water that contain the bacteria get into the air and people breathe them in. Those infected usually spread the disease by sneezing while in close contact with others, who then breathe in the bacteria, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....

And now that it's failed, the bluffers don't know how to back away from their foolishness Mark Levin is no ideological guru to me, but he is to a lot of conservatives, and some of them were upset with him this past week when he abandoned his prior #NeverTrump position and acknowledged that stopping Hillary is simply far more important than continuing to cling to that hashtagged hysteria. This brought Levin no shortage of blowback from other #NeverTrumpers, and he’s not the first to catch heat for caving and advocating the only action that has a chance of stopping Hillary....

The No. 3 Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer of New York, disclosed Monday that he was diagnosed with pneumonia but that it has now cleared up. Schumer was diagnosed several weeks ago. His disclosure Monday comes amid furor over Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's own pneumonia diagnosis....

In a 2008 political ad, then Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton asked “Who would you want answering that three a.m. call,” referring to Barack Obama’s lack of experience if he were to face a world crisis. Well, that three a.m. call came on September 11, 2012, from the American Embassy annex in Benghazi, Libya, while Hillary was the Secretary of State and Obama the President, and wouldn’t you know it, neither one answered the phone. In fact, to this day, no one knows where either one was, or what they were doing, over the 13 hours of the attack that killed...
