Only to begin furiously deleting all the posts - just yesterday, mind you - when other Reddit users realized who he was If you don’t know the name Paul Combetta, you might simply remember him as Stonetear. That’s how he’s apparently known both on Reddit and on Etsy, and he’s the guy at Platte River Networks who was tasked with trying to wipe Hillary’s server clean of all her e-mails after they became the subject of a congressional subpoena. As you might expect, Hillary neither wanted Combetta to comply with the subpoena nor proceed legally. What she wanted was for...

Muslim migrants are "refugees" is a con While speaking at the United Nations Tuesday and advocating more Muslim migration into the West, Barack Obama likened a refusal to accept the Muslims to the “turning away [of] Jews fleeing Nazi Germany,” which he called “a stain on our collective conscience.” But while Obama sought to lecture us, he actually condemned himself. Of course, there is no equivalence between the WWII-era Jews and the Muslim migrants, as no one had to worry about terrorists being embedded among the former. In contrast, we know for a fact that terrorists are among the Muslim...

A panel assembled by Michigan State University’s Institute for Public Policy and Social Responsibility will discuss reforms to the emergency manager law. Any attempt to change this law ought to first understand its purpose. This law is meant to be used as a last step in a long series of attempts to ensure that Michigan’s local governments can pay their bills. Michigan local governments are creations of the state. The state defines their authority and writes the rules under which they operate. One rule is this: All local governments must be able to pay what they owe. The state has...

And her own words prove it Every once in a while, a candidate makes an argument so perfectly constructed - so inarguable - that it absolutely decimates their opponent’s position. Donald Trump did just this when he called out Hillary for casting aspersions against his supporters. You’ll recall that Hillary thinks half of all Trump voters are “deplorable and irredeemable.” That’s some tough talk - much tougher than anything we’ve heard her say about the Islamic fascists who are currently oppressing people all over the planet. So Trump asked: How many of those people would Hillary say are “Deplorable and...

Can you say, “George Soros”? Does this remind anyone of Soros’ breaking the Bank of England? Jeffrey A. Friedberg image By Jeffrey A. Friedberg —— Bio and Archives September 21, 2016 1 Comment | Print Friendly | Subscribe | Email Us At the last Mixer of the International Jewish Conspiracy, I was asked, “Hey—who the hell are the Rothschilds?” They are a dynastic, secretive, influential, world-wide, business family of interbred Jews. As a conglomerate with hidden assets, they are said to be worth as much as $1 TRILLION, and major players in global finance and intrigue. For centuries they have...

As a life NRA member, like many of you I was puzzled and dismayed by the news that the NRA had endorsed the Democrat candidate for Governor of Missouri. What but how could that be? This report from GotNews.com lays it out. The Republican candidate is Eric Greitens, a Navy SEAL! There must be more to the story and there is. GotNews.com has presented the whole picture of exactly who Greitens is; and it’s not very attractive for genuine American conservatives. Greitens is former Democrat, a globalist and a man who has strong connections to “the Clinton Foundation, George Soros,...

Secretary General Ban Ki-moon could have used his valedictory speech to the General Assembly for some self-reflection on what he could have done better during his two terms. Ban Ki-moon delivered his final address as United Nations Secretary General to world leaders gathered for the UN’s annual high level General Assembly debate. He highlighted as successes during his two terms in office the UN member states’ adoption of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda and the successful negotiation of the Paris Agreement on climate change. The Secretary General then catalogued the many unresolved conflicts and “grave security threats” from Syria...

Mission accomplished. Truth unimportant Here was the first thing you heard from every journalist rushing to be among the first to tell the story. “Police shoot unarmed black man.” Then there were other early-emerging stories, like the one that claimed the “unarmed black man” was retreating and had his hands up, but they shot him anyway. You know the media. This is what they’re hearing, it fits their narrative of racist killer cops, and more importantly, it will bring about the one thing they want more than anything else in this world: Race riots! So off they go with the...

Not only is Trump polling much better than he was in Colorado up until September, but he is actually leading in the state in the two polls taken there in September. In the Emerson poll Trump is up four points, receiving 42 to Clinton's 38. In the Reuters/Ipsos poll, Trump leads by three, 43 to 40. Considering that Clinton was so confidant in Colorado that she pulled her money out of the state in July, these September polls represent an earthquake in Colorado and nationally. I added Colorado to the Battleground Index tonight, which only includes states that are actually...

Donald Trump should apologize for pushing the “unseemly” birther conspiracy regarding where President Barack Obama was born, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham indicated Tuesday. Trump last week explicitly acknowledged that Obama was born in the U.S., though he went on to blame Hillary Clinton for igniting the so-called “birther” controversy despite no evidence and refused to apologize for questioning the validity of the country's first black president. “I would apologize,” Graham, a frequent and colorful Trump critic, told Bloomberg Politics on Tuesday. “I think the whole movement was unseemly. I had a lot of distaste for it. No factual basis....

A Michigan public school superintendent wrote in a published “letter to the community” that students at a high school football game injected “hate” and “hostility” because they waved a historical Betsy Ross flag that has 13 stars to represent the original 13 colonies. The students waved the flag at a Sept. 9 football game at Houseman Field between Forest Hills Central and Ottawa Hills. The students also brought a Donald Trump for President banner to the event. The superintendent received a complaint from a parent and then published the letter which is dated Sept. 12. “And to wave a historical...

Their distaste for Donald Trump was no secret. But they saw no point in publicizing it. From Miami to Houston, Crawford to Kennebunkport, members of the Republican Party’s first family remained quiet for months, avoiding cameras and questions about presidential politics and focusing their few fundraiser appearances on assisting the GOP candidates who would be forced to share the November ballot with a nominee they detest.

Let’s review the FBI’s track record over the past 3 years:They investigated the Boston Bombers and found no reason for concern, thereby clearing any hurdles in the path of the Tsarnaev brothers to accomplish their goal of wreaking death and havoc on the Boston Marathon.Comey’s FBI were also investigating the “Draw Muhammad” shooters. Again, they found  nothing that a reasonable prosecutor would have pursued. Unfortunately for the shooters they were taken out by local police before being able to achieve their life-long desire of killing dozens of infidels for Muhammad- who-shall-remain-faceless. Omar Mateen was investigated too - twice. Finding that “no...

A story out of Kansas is lighting up the Internets.  Video of the scene shortly after the shooting was captured by Wendy Russel Macrorie.  She posted it on Facebook, and it has also been posted on YouTube.  World Net Daily gives a synopsis of what happened.  From wnd.com: Two Good Samaritans are being credited with saving a woman’s life after she was attacked by two suspected carjackers who hit her over the head while she was putting her child into a car seat after leaving Walmart in Shawnee, Kansas, on Sunday.A bystander, who rushed to the aid of the woman after...

The AR15 is known for being a top player in modern wartime scenarios. But what happens when it’s put to one of the harshest firing tests there is? If that isn’t surprising, then I don’t know what is. The AR15 went 5 for 5 right after having mud poured over every inch of its mechanical parts. During the second round of testing, it even had mud poured directly onto it with the dust cover open. The key to this rifle’s success is centered on the way it was designed. Since all if its moving parts are designed to essentially seal...

A year after the Saginaw County Sheriff seized a classic muscle car from a Shiawassee County couple, it sold the car — with another 54,000 miles that had been logged in the interim. Last month, the couple filed a federal lawsuit over the car and other items that had been seized and then sold by the department. The department's actions grew out of a 2008 investigation for possible drug crimes, but the couple was never convicted or even charged with a crime. Gerald and Royetta Ostipow filed the lawsuit on Aug. 24 with the U.S. District Court in Detroit against...

The latest gentle giant was apparently gently on PCP. Remember that, supposedly, damning line, Two 911 calls described an SUV that had been abandoned in the middle of the road. One unidentified caller said the driver was acting strangely, adding, "I think he's smoking something." Or the other one... Police helicopter footage was among several clips released Monday that show the shooting and aftermath. A man in the helicopter that arrives above the scene as Crutcher walks to the vehicle can be heard saying "time for a Taser" and then: "That looks like a bad dude, too. Probably on...

Donald Trump has struggled with low poll numbers among college students and among women. But a new survey from Yeshiva University’s student newspaper suggests that at least one type of student prefers Trump: Orthodox Jews, and particularly Orthodox Jewish women. According to a survey of 300 Yeshiva University students published September 18 by student paper The Commentator, 37% prefer Trump, while 27% back Hillary Clinton. Another 17% said they were undecided. Among female students, the paper’s reported results were more striking: 45% of the female students surveyed backed Trump, compared to 35% who back Clinton. That’s in sharp contrast to...

If we care about our future as a non-blown-up planet, it’s time to stop treating the Democratic candidate as if she’s barely better than a literal white supremacist If there’s one thing Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign has taught us it’s to view every depraved moral nadir as a challenge, not a destination. You think this is bad? Wait for the tangy mouth garbage he’s got stewing for tomorrow. Then forget about it instantly – everyone else will! I heard state department employees sometimes email each other!!! Just this week we’ve seen Trump metabolise the Chelsea bombing into an incoherent...
