Hillary Clinton’s campaign on Wednesday released more information about her health that depicted her as a healthy 68-year-old woman with low cholesterol (without taking a statin) and seasonal allergies. She also takes a thyroid medication, and as the campaign has previously disclosed, she takes a blood thinner, Coumadin. A letter from her physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack — released in a move designed to reassure voters just days after she was diagnosed with pneumonia — declares that Clinton "continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States."

Hillary Clinton’s physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack released a summarized update today of Madame Secretary’s health, which should be called the Smokescreen on the Hudson. Here is the letter in its entirety: This letter is a summary update on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s health since the release of my previous medical statement in July 2015. Mrs. Clinton has been seen by me regularly this year for routine care. She has had recurrent blood testing for Coumadin dosing and adjustments. Her blood levels have been relatively stable. She also has had several allergy flares over the past year, which has been a typical...

GOP VP Nominee Mike Pence ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS !!! CNN Jake Tapper (FULL INTERVIEW). (Pence has become the male version of Kellyanne Conway)

Jeff Nesbit of U.S. News just did a feature on the Alt. Right. A picture of guys holding hands in a Ku Klux Klan rally. Oh my god, is that the best you can do? Really? What does that have to do with the Alt. Right? Just the usual nonsense. So once again we have the same type of garbage leftist journalism covering topics they know nothing about. So I took a look at the U.S. News page and Mr. Nesbit. He reminds me of the t-shirt (many actually) that says I JUST HAD THE CAT NEUTERED-NOW HE'S A LIBERAL....

Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz says a Donald Trump presidency would be a "nightmare", but that it is unlikely to happen. He also speaks about the reasons Trump has so much support: "If you look at the numbers, roughly the bottom 90% have had stagnant income over the past quarter of a century. and we've been trying to understand why has that been. And it is, I think partly because we haven't paid attention to the issue." "Fortunately, I'm not having too many sleepless nights, because I think the probability of [a Trump presidency] happening is not very large," he...

From 2009 up to 2013, the year the Ukrainian crisis erupted, the Clinton Foundation received at least $8.6 million from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, which is headquartered in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, a new report claims. In 2008, Viktor Pinchuk, who made a fortune in the pipe-building business, pledged a five-year, $29-million commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative, a program that works to train future Ukrainian leaders “to modernize Ukraine.” The Wall Street Journal revealed the donations the fund received from foreigners abroad between 2009-2014 in their report published earlier this week .

Currently, the majority of rifles designed for long range hunting these days appear similar to that of military grade weapons in size, weight, and their configuration. These large rifles tend to feature tactical stocks, bipods, larger scopes, and tapered barrels. The majority of these rifles seem to have been configured directly from the factory to utilize .308 Winchester, a powerful round, but one that makes the hunter question whether or not such a cartridge is useful when it comes to tackling big game at long ranges. Long Range Believe it or not, the term "long range" actually means many different...

Insanity Shortly after the Nice attack, in which an Islamic radical killed 86 people by driving a truck through a crowd watching Bastille Day fireworks, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said France would have to “learn to live with terrorism.” As you might expect, the remark landed with a thud, since people who appease terrorists have a tendency not to live at all. Still, France seems hell-bent on walking a self-destructive path that leans heavily on playing defense. Now, as Reuters reports , we know that the challenges created by such a strategy are growing by the day. Unless things...

We’ve all had that co-worker at some point: superficially charming, supremely self-confident, but they’ll walk over anyone to get ahead and not feel a second’s remorse. Perhaps, after you were burned yet again, you half-joked that they must have a personality disorder. Today, experts believe it’s very possible that your colleague is a psychopath. Groundbreaking research presented at the Australian Psychology Society Congress in Melbourne this week reveals that one in five corporate workers may have the disorder — as many as in the prison population.

I am starting to plan a trip to Normandy and to the battlefields of The Somme. I was wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with any of the many tour companies that in and around Ypres/Paris etc.etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott.

Remember: Trends - not individual polls As the mantra goes, “a Republican has never won the presidency without taking Ohio.” If Trump wants the White House, he has to win the state. So far, Trump’s numbers in the Buckeye State have been, well ...let’s say ‘shaky.’ Most polling puts him within striking distance. Usually, he’s down a point or two or in something close to a dead heat, but almost always within the margin of error. Now, as national polls showing him pulling ahead, people wondered when (or if) that would be reflected in the state polling.

Blah blah blah. It’s garbage. Nobody’s trying to kill the IRS House conservatives formally introduced a resolution yesterday aimed at removing the defiantly corrupt IRS Commissioner John Koskinen from office. The impeachment resolution could see a vote this week. Rep. John Fleming, R-La., a sponsor of the resolution, offered the measure under special procedures that put the House of Representatives on track to vote Thursday. on the effort.

That's one heck of a bad weekend . . . for an extraordinarily bad candidate Betting markets are not scientific like polls, I guess, but they have things going for them that polls don’t. If a pollster calls you and wants to know what you think about something, it was the pollster - not you - who initiated the conversation and really wanted to know. You just decided to go along and respond. And you’ve really got no skin in the game, so you might tell the truth - you probably will - but the truth is you can say...

If Americans have learned anything about the zealots who claim to seek “common sense” solutions to the non-existent problem of gun violence it’s that they will never be satisfied until Big Brother has stripped every law abiding gun owner of every weapon. And the agenda of the left has not changed over the years. During a 2014 appearance on Boston Public Radio (WGBH), Boston Police Commissioner Bill Evans said: “For the most part, nobody in the city needs a shotgun, nobody needs a rifle and… especially here in the city I want to have discretion over who’s getting any type...

So, “Molon Lave Me,” and, “Rock and Goad,” and all that, hooraw, yeehaw, and etc., but, if ever—-well…a better way, would be to find a better way Hi there, Prepper. Ready for the Zombie Apocalypse? Got your off-the-grid, bugout bag and property and shelter all tricked out with the latest in alarms, freeze-dried food, barbed wire, and see-in-the-dark scopes? Got the camo, ballistic vest with the water bladder, 300 rounds of 7.62 or 5.56 ammo inside 10 magazines? Is that the vest with the built in holster for the Glock 21 with 13 rounds in the grip, plus two extra...

Look for a Hillary in the White House with Obama serving a third term In the universal language of little boys throwing temper tantrums in the toy aisle of Christmas time department stores, comes spoil sport Barack Obama’s loudest wail to date: “I really, really, really want…to elect Hillary Clinton.” Sure you do, Barry, it’s the same as getting elected yourself. You can depend that Obama’s “really”, “really”, “really” wanting to elect Hillary is based on some nefarious political strategy.

Logic dictates Trump may have a point about the Fed making decisions based on political imperatives The current stock market downturn appears timed to help the Democrat Party by scaring investors into rejecting Donald Trump on the grounds he’d trigger a crash if the Republicans win the White House in November. The Dow Jones fell again Tuesday this time over 250 points due in part, to fears of a rate hike at the Fed policy meeting next week. These market jitters may well have been calculated for effect, and engineered by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen in a bid to...

They call him Dr. Doom and for good reason. Dr. Marc Faber, author, investment adviser, and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom report, usually emphasizes the risks in the financial system and never minces his words. However, his views are more nuanced than most people think, and his advice for investors is more pragmatic than idealistic. Epoch Times spoke to Faber about central bank manipulation of financial markets, the reasons for income inequality, and how to invest in this environment.

Here’s an article that accurately summarizes the state of media affairs in America (and by affairs, I mean “illicit”): CNN’s Christiane Amanpour Formally Comes Out as Pro-Hillary, Anti-Journalism.Serving only as video confirmation that 1) sexism is the new racism, 2) the media is snugly in bed with Hillary and 3) the media condones lying to the public as long as it is them doing the lying. All of which led to this Tweet. Narrative has gone from "Hillary is perfectly healthy, stop being sexist" to "FDR had Polio and was a good President" in less than 12 hours. — Ann...
