Obama Email Alias to Clinton Is Why FBI Didn’t Prosecute Hillary | National Review
Obama Email Alias to Clinton Is Why FBI Didn’t Prosecute Hillary | National Review:
"Still, the difference in scale is not a difference in kind. In terms of the federal laws that criminalize mishandling of classified information, Obama not only engaged in the same type of misconduct Clinton did; he engaged in it with Clinton. It would not have been possible for the Justice Department to prosecute Clinton for her offense without its becoming painfully apparent that 1) Obama, too, had done everything necessary to commit a violation of federal law, and 2) the communications between Obama and Clinton were highly relevant evidence."

Daughter of democrat senator Manchin. Her mom made millions as head of the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASB) to boost her daughter’s EpiPen sales--Just thought you should know-----Mylan CEO misled lawmakers about EpiPen profits—they’re 66% higher
Mylan CEO misled lawmakers about EpiPen profits—they’re 66% higher | Ars Technica:
"The EpiPen profit figures that Heather Bresch, CEO of EpiPen maker Mylan, Inc., proudly displayed on a giant chart to the seething House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week were misleading at best and a flat-out lie at worst, according to a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
EpiPen maker CEO to seething lawmakers: We’re doing the world a favor
Bresch, who was called before the committee to explain steep price hikes of the life-saving devices, insisted that the company only makes $100 profit per two-pack of EpiPens.
The list price for such a two pack now stands at $608.
However, back in 2007, before Mylan bought the rights to the pens and raised the price 15 times, an EpiPen was priced at around just $50.
In her testimony, Bresch blamed the puzzlingly small profit on undefined costs and America’s complicated healthcare system.
The committee, however, didn’t buy that—and rightly so.
It turns out that the $100 profit figure was calculated by applying a 37.5 percent tax rate, which the company likely doesn’t pay.
And the post-tax product was actually incorrect—it should have been $104 per two pack.
So, the real, pre-tax profit from an EpiPen two pack is $166, a 66 percent increase from what Bresch told Congress..."

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A group of protesters stormed into a presidential debate viewing party hosted by conservative students at the University of Michigan on Monday night, banging on drums and shouting at viewers as they paraded around the room, prompting at least one skirmish.
The five anti-Trump protesters who invaded the campus auditorium where the debate was projected onto a large, movie-sized screen repeatedly shouted “Donald Trump is racist!” while one, dressed as Jesus, banged incessantly on some type of drum. The demonstrators’ organizational affiliation is unknown.
According to a video taken during the incident, one of the female protesters held a sign stating: “Hitler: Make Germany great again, Trump’s America.”

Immigration Officials Endorse Trump Ahead Of Debate | The Daily Caller:
"Clinton has pledged to uphold and even expand Obama’s executive orders on immigration, and wants to grant citizenship to the vast majority of illegal immigrants already in the country. She would also dramatically expand the number of immigrants who come to the country legally, at a time when those levels are on track to exceed historical precedent in both size and proportion of the population."

Hillary’s TOP Donor Country Just Auctioned Off ISIS Sex Slaves… | John Hawkins' Right Wing News
Why in the hell do we still support Saudi Arabia? We don’t need their oil… we would make do. The majority of the 9/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia, as does the Bin Laden family. The Saudi deputy crown prince told reporters in June the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has funded 20% of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. She’s taking money from a stone cold enemy and that’s not the only one by any means. You do not consort or take money from those who intend to destroy your country… period. That goes for Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. It also includes any dictatorship or communist strongman. We never learn our lesson, do we?

That goes for Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. It also includes any dictatorship or communist strongman. We never learn our lesson, do we?
Now it comes to light that Saudi Arabia is selling ISIS sex slaves off to the highest bidder at public auctions. Iraqis, Syrians, Saudis and WESTERNERS all bought slaves at the auction. This is monstrous and going on right out in the open. It should be stopped cold… whatever it takes. Britain needs to stop selling the Saudis weapons and we need to pull our politicians out of the Saudi bedroom and back home. They are killing us and enslaving women and children. How can we silently stand by while this evil goes on?
From Jihad Watch:
It isn’t news that the Islamic State has long been abusing and trafficking sex slaves – especially Yazidi girls – but it has been now discovered that the sex slaves of IS are being “sold in horrifying auctions to UK ally Saudi Arabia.”An eyewitness reported:Dozens of women were being held in a large room, and it was not only Iraqis and Syrians trading women but also Saudis and Westerners, whose actual nationality was not clear.Western women have also been reported to be among the victims in keeping with the Islamic State’s practice of enslaving kafir women:The Islamic State’s human trafficking operation includes enslaving women who they consider to be ‘kafir’, non-Muslim people like Yazidis and Christians, before selling them for money. The depraved thugs are also involved in the radicalisation of young women all over the world and try to tempt them to come to their caliphate with false promises of wealth, marriage and forgiveness of sin.
As these women are ‘rescued’ from ISIS, they are not being given freedom.
They are being sold on the auction block into a hellish existence.
These are the people that Hillary Clinton takes money from, makes deals with and hobnobs with. Monsters of a feather.
I have said for a long time, not only are the Saudis sponsoring ISIS, so are the Russians. We are being played. Our own president is complicit. Let’s not elect another corrupt demon who cares nothing of women and children being sold to rapists. After all, Hillary Clinton is married to one.

"The disclosure came as the FBI released its second batch of documents from its investigation into Clinton’s private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.
The 189 pages the bureau released includes interviews with some of Clinton’s closest aides, such as Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills; senior State Department officials; and even Marcel Lazar, better known as the Romanian hacker “Guccifer.”"

A Few Bad Skittles
A Few Bad Skittles - Taki's Magazine:
"It’s official: Donald Trump, Jr. compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles candy, which means he’s Hitler, and so is his dad, and so are you.
Last Monday Trump’s son tweeted a picture of a bowl of Skittles that had the caption:
If I had a bowl of skittles and told you three would kill you. Would you take a handful? That’s our Syrian refugee problem.
The reaction was swift, harsh, illogical, and hysterical.
A representative for Wrigley, which produces Skittles through the Mars candy company, explained to The Hollywood Reporter that “Skittles are candy.
The New York Times scolded Trump Jr. by noting that “human beings are not Skittles.”
The Memphis Commercial Appeal unequivocally stated that “Refugees are people, not Skittles.”
Perhaps they’ve never heard of metaphors?
They’ve definitely heard of Nazis, though, because they never shut up about them.
“Nazi Who Originated Donald Trump Jr.’s Skittles Analogy Was Hanged at Nuremberg,” shrieks the headline at The Intercept. The New York Times, which denied the Holodomor while it was happening but never misses a chance to call someone a Nazi, said that “comparing Syrians to Skittles carries echoes of the Nazi propagandist Julius Streicher comparing Jews to mushrooms in a popular children’s book that posited the ticklish dilemma of how to distinguish poisonous toadstools from edible fungus.” Haaretz bleated that “Nazi Propagandist Julius Streicher Would Be Proud of Trump Jr.” ..."

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Trump could win the debate simply by bluffing:
Whatever his failings may be, Trump is an alpha male, and Holt is a nerd. Nobody outside the media-political-progressive class likes to see nerds beat alphas. It’s contrary to the basic order of things.
All Trump has to do is raise his voice a little to make it clear who’s in charge: “Ex-CUSE me, Lester, are you going to let me finish?” Or, “Listen, I’m the candidate here. People want to hear what I have to say, not what you have to say, OK?”
Holt will look pathetic, Trump supporters will roar and middle-of-the-road voters will think, “The man’s a strong leader, no doubt about it.”Debates are not intelligence tests. They’re not LSATs. They’re television shows, and one participant is the former star of one of the top-ten highest-rated programs in the land.

Trump Sees the Jihadist Trojan Horse
Articles: Trump Sees the Jihadist Trojan Horse
"Ever wonder why there are so many Muslims and Muslim countries in the world?
Over the millennia many countries were conquered, but didn't remain Persian or Greek or Roman as the case may be.
You see, the countries conquered in the name of Islam, became and remained Islamic.
For example Pakistan, part of India, and Malaysia both were Hindu; Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and N. Africa were Christian; Afghanistan was Buddhist.
They are all Islamic now.
This transformation was not by chance but by design.
All these countries were conquered by force then shorn of their wealth and many of their women.
Then the Muslim conquerors introduced Sharia and continued fighting the local inhabitants.
The inhabitants were either forced to convert or accorded Dhimmi status.
As time went on all cultures submitted and eventually became Islamic.

As time went on all cultures submitted and eventually became Islamic.
The advance of Islam was finally reversed in Spain and stopped at the Gates of Vienna in 1642.
Thereafter the power of Islam went into decline but other than Spain, it never lost its hold on the people it conquered.
This decline was reversed in the Twentieth Century when Arabs became wealthy as a result of their vast oil reserves.
This wealth was then deployed to conquer the west, not by Violent Jihad, but by Stealth Jihad.

This decline was reversed in the Twentieth Century when Arabs became wealthy as a result of their vast oil reserves.

This design was referred to as The Islamic Doctrine. It consists of Koran (14%) which stipulates that “there is no god but ALLAH and Mohammed is his messenger”, Sira, Mohammed’s biography (26%) and Hadiths, traditions, (60%). There are two different Korans combined into one, the Mecca Koran and the Medina Koran.
Dr. Moorthy Muthuswamy writes,
About sixty-one percent of the contents of the Koran are found to speak ill of the unbelievers or call for their violent conquest; at best only 2.6 percent of the verses of the Koran are noted to show goodwill toward humanity. About seventy-five percent of Muhammad’s biography (Sira) consists of jihad waged on unbelievers.

Are you ready for the most anticipated presidential debate in decades?
It is being projected that Monday’s debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton could potentially break the all-time record of 80 million viewers that watched Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter debate back in 1980.
Many Americans probably hope to see some personal fireworks between the two nominees, but the two candidates have both expressed a desire to focus on substantive issues.
There will likely be quite a few questions about the economy, and without a doubt this is an area where Trump and Clinton have some very sharp differences.
The mainstream media would have us believe that the U.S. economy is in pretty good shape, and if that was true that would seem to favor Clinton.
But is it actually true?

But is it actually true?
The following are 26 incredible facts about the economy that every American should know for the Trump-Clinton debate…
#1 When Barack Obama entered the White House, the U.S. government was 10.6 trillion dollars in debt. Today, the U.S. government is 19.5 trillion dollars in debt, and Obama still has several months to go until the end of his second term. That means that an average of more than 1.1 trillion dollars will be added to the national debt during his presidency. We are stealing a tremendous amount of consumption from the future to make the economy look much, much better than it otherwise would be, and we are systematically destroying the future in the process.
#2 As Obama prepares to leave office, the rate at which we are adding to the national debt is actually increasing. During the fiscal year that is just ending, the U.S. government has added another 1.36 trillion dollars to the national debt.
#3 It isn’t just the federal government that is on a massive debt binge. Total U.S. corporate debt has nearly doubled since the end of 2007.
#4 Default rates on U.S. corporate debt are the highest that they have been since the last financial crisis..."

Why I Switched My Endorsement from Clinton to...
Why I Switched My Endorsement from Clinton to... | Scott Adams' Blog:
"As most of you know, I had been endorsing Hillary Clinton for president, for my personal safety, because I live in California.
It isn’t safe to be a Trump supporter where I live.
And it’s bad for business too.
But recently I switched my endorsement to Trump, and I owe you an explanation. So here it goes.

But recently I switched my endorsement to Trump, and I owe you an explanation. So here it goes.
...2. Confiscation of Property: Clinton proposed a new top Estate Tax of 65% on people with net worth over $500 million. Her website goes to great length to obscure the actual policy details, including the fact that taxes would increase on lower value estates as well. See the total lack of transparency here, where the text simply refers to going back to 2009 rates. It is clear that the intent of the page is to mislead, not inform....
6. Persuasion: Economies are driven by psychology. If you expect things to go well tomorrow, you invest today, which causes things to go well tomorrow, as long as others are doing the same. The best kind of president for managing the psychology of citizens – and therefore the economy – is a trained persuader. You can call that persuader a con man, a snake oil salesman, a carnival barker, or full of shit. It’s all persuasion. And Trump simply does it better than I have ever seen anyone do it.
The battle with ISIS is also a persuasion problem. The entire purpose of military action against ISIS is to persuade them to stop, not to kill every single one of them. We need military-grade persuasion to get at the root of the problem. Trump understands persuasion, so he is likely to put more emphasis in that area.
Most of the job of president is persuasion. Presidents don’t need to understand policy minutia. They need to listen to experts and then help sell the best expert solutions to the public. Trump sells better than anyone you have ever seen, even if you haven’t personally bought into him yet. You can’t deny his persuasion talents that have gotten him this far....
I will be live streaming my viewing of the debate Monday night, with my co-host and neighbor, Kristina Basham. Tune your television to the debate and use your phone or iPad with the Periscope app, and look for me at @ScottAdamsSays.
