THE THIRD PARTY HILLARY NEEDS... TO WINFLIM FLAM SCAM42% WILL VOTE FOR HILLARY. 40% WON'T. SHE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THE OTHER 18% WON'T VOTE REPUBLICAN... JUST LIKE THE DNC MANAGED TO DO IN BOTH 1992 AND 1996 n 1991 when Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton decided to challenge President George H.W. Bush for the White House, all of the honest in-house polls the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee took indicated that Clinton would lose to Bush by a margin of 16 points. The polls taken by Bush and the Republican National Committee said the same thing. Bush...

Are [The minders of Ho Ching [The wife of Singapore prime-minister-by-order-of-his-father and poster-child of Singapore's corrupt nepotism*] losing their touch? That's what some are asking about Temasek Holdings' chief executive after a string of embarrassing setbacks. In February the Singapore government's wholly owned PSA was trumped by Dubai's deep-pocket sheikhs, who outbid it for Britain's port operator, P&O. Temasek walked away with a $50 million profit on its stake, but it was cold comfort for losing the chance to become the world's No. 1 port operator. [Though subsequent challenges could yet undo the Dubai deal] Then Temasek's $1.9 billion purchase...

Some commentators insist that the opposition to the Dubai Ports deal was much ado about nothing and was simply ignorance of the way ports and terminals function. They insist that the whole sale was just about management of several terminals - nothing which would effect homeland security.Question: If this ports deal was really nothing serious, why was the Coast Guard initially worried and opposed to the deal? It would seem from the Coast Guard's initial concern that there is much more at stake with this deal then some are willing to admit. It certainly indicates that security concerns to this...

Most terminal operators at U.S. ports are foreign companies and some are owned in part by foreign governments. APL, which manages terminals in Oakland, Los Angeles, Seattle and Alaska, is owned by the NOL Group, which is majority owned by the Singapore government. The Chinese government owns part of a company that operates a terminal at the Port of Long Beach. That company, Cosco Container Lines, a division of China Cosco, caused a stir similar to the current one back in 1998. Cosco ships had been calling on the Port of Long Beach for many years, using a public terminal....

It has been stomach-turning to listen to flunkies for Bush such as Rush Limbaugh et all call patriots who want to secure our borders “racist” for being “anti-Arab” regarding the port deal. Who’s the racist? Who the hell do you think you are - you think this is a game? Dubai Ports World is anti-Semitic, bottom line, a bunch of Nazis, and U.S. law prohibits doing business with companies who boycott Israel . The whole story regarding Dubai ports firm enforcing Israel boycott is enough of the facts to be the end of this entire deal, dead “in the water“....

February 24, 2006: The recent controversy over the acquisition of the British firm Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, by Dubai Ports World, a state-run company in the United Arab Emirates, has been largely a matter of heat opposed to light. This is largely because of a number of myths that have quickly circulated throughout the blogosphere. These myths have led to a lot of controversy that has cast one of the strongest American allies in the Persian Gulf in a poor light that is undeserved. First, a look at the United Arab Emirates is in order. This is a...

At approximately 4:05 pm EST today, Sean Hannity's screener allowed me to be the second caller to pose a question to Sean Hannity on air. When I heard my name and city announced and Sean said hello, I said good afternoon and stated "Sean, this will be the toughest question you've ever had to answer" and Sean said "have at it." [my question follows] "Sean, over the past many years, I've not heard you once, not one time - direct your listeners to go to our U. S. Congressional Record for the date of June 23, 1999. This date is...

Bill Clinton has reached an agreement with a Chinese publisher over the translation of "My Life," after struggling to come up with an official version of his memoirs to counteract fabrications in pirated copies. The Chinese publisher, Yilin Press, had been concerned that some passages translated verbatim "would have a meaning in Chinese somewhat different than what I meant," Clinton said Tuesday. "We reached an agreement on language which, if accurately translated into Chinese, would make it clear that I have both differences in policy (from the Chinese) and a long-term commitment to reconciliation," Clinton said. Bob Barnett, a lawyer...

There are times when Hillary Clinton must wish that her husband were dead. Don't get me wrong. I want Bill Clinton to live a long and scandal-filled life. I have no plans to hurl an ashtray at the former beach-boy president. In fact, I would take a bullet for Bill Clinton if only to protect my income as a reporter. However, if Hillary wants to win the White House, she could make it a cakewalk if Bill were pushing up daises. Imagine Hillary running for president if Bill were suddenly to die. The former first lady would be the object...

Washington - The Republican-run Justice Department is setting its sights on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign in pursuit of possible fund-raising violations. In targeting a rising star in the Democratic Party, prosecutors are trying to gain the cooperation of an indicted businessman who raised the allegations, interviews and documents indicate. The FBI has told a U.S. magistrate in Los Angeles it has evidence the former first lady's campaign deliberately understated its fund-raising costs so it would have more money to spend on elections, and prosecutors allege one person raising funds for her helped because he wanted a pardon...

<p>October 10, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton was showered with pricey gifts while he was in office from the leaders of Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, but he didn't disclose them because they were earmarked for his presidential library in Arkansas, a new report yesterday revealed.</p>

WASHINGTON — A long line greeted former President Bill Clinton in New York City for his book signing on Tuesday, and books flew off the shelves in Washington, D.C., and Arkansas. But not everyone in line was a fan of the president. "Just going through the index I was struck by the names that are not listed in there, especially people from the Communist Chinese fund-raising scandal from 1996, people like James Riady (search) and Johnny Chung (search). They're not in the index," said Clinton critic Kristinn Taylor, referring to two businessmen at the center of a 1996 campaign donation...

Wang Jun's excellent White House adventure By Jack Cashill © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Soon after Ron Brown returned from New York to pick up a reported $1.2 million from Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz, he learned he would be meeting – by order of the White House – with a character by the name of Wang Jun. The sheer bravado of Wang Jun's petition and the brazenness of the Clintons in welcoming him leave one awestruck. Wang Jun chaired Poly Technologies, a company controlled by the People's Liberation Army. According to a Rand Corporation report forced from the U.S. Department of Commerce...

CLARKE WITNESSED FIRST-HAND THE CLINTONS' UTTER FAILURE TO FIGHT TERRORISM "If Clarke's plan had been implemented, [i.e., if clinton had responded to the bombing of the USS Cole, a clear act of war, militarily instead of telephonically!] al Qaeda's infrastructure would have been demolished and bin Laden might well have been killed. Sept. 11, 2001 might have been just another sunny day" [So the real question that requires answering is this: Why did this legacy-obsessed president miss a golden opportunity to secure his legacy for all time by wiping out terrorism, then in its incipient stage and stoppable? Was...
