BROADDRICK: Hillary's actions speak louder than Trump's words

BROADDRICK: Hillary's actions speak louder than Trump's words - The American MirrorThe American Mirror:
"Bill Clinton rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick is weighing in on Donald Trump’s controversial comments from 2005 that are mysteriously resurfacing just hours before the second debate and weeks before the general election.
“How many times must it be said,” she tweeted Saturday morning.
“Actions speak louder than words. (Donald Trump) said bad things! (Hillary Clinton) threatened me after (Bill Clinton) raped me.”
How many times must it be said? Actions speak louder than words. DT said bad things!HRC threatened me after BC raped me.
Broaddrick’s dose of perspective comes as the mainstream media has been silent and uninterested in the ongoing accusations against Bill Clinton and Hillary’s attempts to silence his accusers.
But in the last 24 hours, they’ve reported ad nauseam about Trump’s 2005 locker room talk caught on a hot mic.
Last Friday night, Trump apologized for his banter with “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush from a decade ago.
“I said it. I was wrong and I apologize,” Trump says in his statement.
To date, neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton have apologized to Broaddrick.
She has accused then-Arkansas Attorney General Bill Clinton of raping her in a Little Rock hotel room in 1978. She says Hillary later confronted her in an attempt to intimidate and silence her.
UPDATE: Paula Jones weighed in as well, writing on Facebook, “I don’t recall that Bill or Hillary has ever apologized to me and Juanita Broaddrick or Kathleen Willey yet Bill was getting his wee wee sucked under the Oval Office desk and still won a second term, UNBELIEVABLE!

Broaddrick commented, “You go girl.”

State Policies Created School Pension Pain

State Policies Created School Pension Pain [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"Pension costs are forcing tough choices on Michigan’s school districts.
Their problems are caused almost entirely by state policies, so the solution must come from the state.
In Michigan, school districts have little to say about the retirement benefits offered to their employees; all the key decisions are set by state policy.
Image result for michigan pension problemThe state requires districts to use its retirement system, sets its benefits, and decides what the funding assumptions and policies will be.
To pay for pension benefits, the state assesses districts a percentage of their payroll.
...If the state weren’t making these payments, it could use that same amount of money to increase the foundation allowance by $727 per pupil.
Conversely, if the state didn’t make those payments, districts would have to dip further into their foundation allowance to meet pension commitments.
Public attention often focuses on the size of the foundation allowance. 
But public school districts would rather see extra money from the state go to cover pension costs than increase the foundation allowance, an unrestricted grant.
The reason is that charter schools do not participate in the public school pension system and therefore do not receive the state pension assistance; they would, however, receive their share of an increased foundation allowance, and districts would receive less..."

Hillary "Shocked!" By Trump's Sex Talk... But Here's Video of Hillary Threatening Sex Assault Victims in 1998

Hillary "Shocked!" By Trump's Sex Talk... But Here's Video of Hillary Threatening Sex Assault Victims in 1998:
The Clinton campaign (Washington Post) released audio on Friday of Donald Trump talking about hitting on a hot woman in 2005.
Hillary Clinton tweeted out that she was “shocked!” in response to the audio!
Really, Hillary?
This is the same woman who threatened Bill Clinton’s accusers in 1998.
It is commonly believed by Clinton victims that Hillary was behind the siccing of private investigators on the many women who accused her husband of rape, sexual assault or infidelity in the 1990s.
Hillary Clinton revealed her hidden hand when she menacingly issued a clear warning of intimidation to her husband’s accusers (and those who would pursue their charges) on the nationally broadcast Today Show in early 1998 in the days after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke.
The Today Show interview with Matt Lauer on January 27, 1998 is famous for Hillary’s claim that a “vast right-wing conspiracy” was behind the allegations of an affair between her husband President Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky. (Transcript source.)
“This is—the great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president. A few journalists have kind of caught on to it and explained it. But it has not yet been fully revealed to the American public. And actually, you know, in a bizarre sort of way, this may do it.”
Later in the interview, Hillary bluntly issued her threat:
“I think we’re going to find some other things. And I think that when all of this is put into context, and we really look at the people involved here, look at their motivations and look at their backgrounds, look at their past behavior, some folks are going to have a lot to answer for.”
Here’s the video—–

Justice Department & Florida Corruption -- No Investigation | National Review

Justice Department & Florida Corruption -- No Investigation | National Review:

"The DOJ has its hands in nearly everything these days. Except, that is, for political corruption.

Attorney General Lynch has found the time to sue North Carolina for its transgender bathroom law and, to launch an immediate investigation into Alton Sterling’s fatal encounter with Louisiana police. But she has not batted an eyelash upon receiving investigative requests into Florida’s corrupt state capital."

Hillary Clinton's hired thugs quieted Bill Clinton's mistresses

Hillary Clinton's hired thugs quieted Bill Clinton's mistresses - Washington Times:
"Through the years one of my favorite sallies against the Clintons has been to refer to Hillary Clinton as “Bruno.”
At times readers have asked, “Why do you call her Bruno?”
It is because there has always been an atmosphere of thuggishness about her. 
Another way of putting it is that time and again she acts as though the rule of law does not pertain to her.
For instance, on the matter of the many women who have willingly or unwillingly been pulled into her husband’s lubricious ambit. 
How many times have you read or heard a quote attributed to her where she vows to “crush” a woman whom Bill rutted with or to “crucify” her. 
One even reads such quotes in the mainstream media (MSM).
Yet she is portrayed as a champion of women.
...Now, of course, today the matronly Hillary is long past her prime as a plausible Bruno.
As she breaks out in coughing spells, and has to be propped up at the lectern in her heavily cushioned pantsuits, it is easy for us to have forgotten the intimidating specter she struck for such woman as Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey, the young Monica or even Juanita Broaddrick, who allegedly was raped by smiling Bill.
Yet in decades past she was a highly volatile figure and, in fact, posed a threat to White House personnel.
There are all those witnesses who have reported seeing her bean her husband or members of the Secret Service with a book or a lamp.
I think even the loyal George Stephanopoulos reported her aggression.
As a matter of the public record, there is a catalogue of private investigators employed by her, and some of their exploits are even recorded.
In fact, if elected, she will be the first presidential candidate ever to have hired private investigators to serve her ends en route to the White House.
In the past weeks, both The New York Times and The Washington Post reported that she employed the services of a San Francisco private investigator, Jack Palladino, to harass and vilify Gennifer Flowers when she appeared on the scene in the early 1990s.
But there were others.
...In the early 1980s in Arkansas, Hillary hired Ivan Duda to collect the names of Bill’s women, not to prepare for a divorce as some thought.
Rather it was to prepare, as Mr. Duda told me, “for any charges that might come up” regarding scandal in Bill’s forthcoming election campaign.
Then there is the Los Angeles investigator, Anthony Pellicano, who helped the Clintons in their efforts at intimidation in the 1992 election and was tapped again to quiet down Monica in 1998. Hillary is particularly skittish about Anthony because he is spending time in the big house for possession of military-grade plastic explosives and hand grenades.
....Yet why did she bring forward at her debate with Donald Trump the name of Alicia Machado, and why was her campaign so eager that Alicia be booked all over television ever since?
Possibly, Donald did make an unseemly reference to her weight 20 years ago when she was in his Miss Universe contest.
Or possibly, that was his job. 
But since then, Alicia has been engaged in criminal behavior, soft porn and possibly hard porn.
Now she is a spokeswoman for Hillary.
I guess having a porn queen representing Hillary’s campaign is just one more sign of the Clintons’ debasement of America.
Apparently, the MSM does not mind being part of this debasement."

Liberal "warmist" hysteria-----Hurricane Matthew and Tropical Storm Nicole Just Teamed Up to Set a New Atlantic Record

Hurricane Matthew and Tropical Storm Nicole Just Teamed Up to Set a New Atlantic Record:
"At the same time that Hurricane Matthew ravages the southeastern US, a new tropical storm has appeared just south of Bermuda.
Together, the two have set a new late-season record for storms in the Atlantic. 
Welcome to the frightening realities of a warmer world.
This latest storm, called Nicole, achieved hurricane status yesterday afternoon, setting a new record for the Atlantic Ocean. 
As Hurricane Matthew’s winds approached 120 miles per hour, Nicole’s winds reached 105 miles per hour.
As NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center explained, “it marked the latest in the calendar year that two storms in the North Atlantic Ocean have had winds over 105 mph simultaneously.”

WHAT? White Woman Who Pretends To Be Black Will Be Guest at Event to Honor MLK

WHAT? White Woman Who Pretends To Be Black Will Be Guest at Event to Honor MLK – American Lookout:
"Remember Rachel Dolezal? She’s a former NAACP official who stepped down from the organization when it was discovered that she’s actually white.
Now she’s been invited to an event to honor civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King.
The News and Observer reports:
Cary’s MLK celebration to include former NAACP leader Dolezal
"Organizers want the town’s annual MLK Dreamfest Celebration in January to highlight Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s values through discussions on race relations and racial identity. 
rachel-dolezalThey hope nationally known speakers like former NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal of Washington state will facilitate the dialogue..."
Dolezal, who was born to white parents, drew national attention last year after resigning as president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Wash., following allegations that she lied about her racial identity.
“We chose a person like Rachel Dolezal that has been depicted as a major villain through media because of her preference of racial identity,” said Al Cohen, CEO of Jireh Management Group. 
“And yet, she didn’t steal from anybody. She didn’t murder anybody. She didn’t rob anybody. She only had an affinity for a group of people, and she served her community well.”
In the bizarre world the left has created, everyone can be anything they want by simply saying so.
Men can say they identify as women, white people can say they identify as black, etc.
What happens when a white student applies for a college scholarship designated for black students?
Will there be any problem or will it be OK as long as they identify as black?"

Ed Klein: Obama Has a ‘Mole, a Manchurian Candidate’ in Tim Kaine:

"As Marlow put it, Guilty as Sin suggests Clinton’s shaky health was one of the reasons the Obamas supported her because “they think they could perhaps have another shadow presidency.”

Klein said this palace intrigue was “very interesting because you know there was a blood feud between the Obamas and the Clintons … but after Barack Obama was unsuccessful in getting Joe Biden or Elizabeth Warren, the looney-tunes senator from Massachusetts, to run for president – and he tried very hard to get one or the other – he was stuck with Hillary Clinton.”"

Now, the tables have turned. Fox13 reports:
Well-known Hispanic activist Tony Yapias was charged with rape after he allegedly assaulted a woman who ended their four-year relationship a few months ago.
Yapias, 50, known as Adolfo Tony Yapias-Delgado, was formerly charged in the 3rd District Monday with rape, a first-degree felony and evidence tampering, a class A misdemeanor.
Yapias is the director of Proyecto Latino de Utah.
The Davis County Attorney’s Office is handling the case.
According to court documents Yapias went to the woman’s home in South Salt Lake on March 21.
Wow. So it looks like Trump, once again, was 100 percent correct.

The Clinton Foundation is not the Red Cross | Washington Examiner

The Clinton Foundation is not the Red Cross | Washington Examiner:

"The foundation also hired Huma Abedin as a consultant. Under an agreement that Clinton approved, she was able to supplement a low-wage (we kid) $135,000 State Department job with consulting fees from the foundation, among other sources.

So this is just one example of where Clinton Foundation donors' money went. And in the midst of the current campaign to make Clinton president, it seems quite relevant."

Major Election Fraud Alert – Is This How They Are Going To Steal The Election From Donald Trump?

Major Election Fraud Alert – Is This How They Are Going To Steal The Election From Donald Trump?:
"Every ounce of effort that ordinary Americans have put into getting Donald Trump elected could be completely wasted if we allow them to steal the election.  If you have confidence in the integrity of our elections, that confidence will be shaken by the time you are done reading this article, because I am about to share some information with you that is absolutely astounding.  Yesterday, I showed you that dead people are being registered to vote right now and that they have been voting in elections across the country for years.  I also showed you that illegal immigrants have been voting in important swing states such as Virginia and Pennsylvania.  But all of that pales in comparison to the evidence of systematic election fraud that we witnessed on election day in 2012.
Because Mitt Romney threw in the towel very early on election night in 2012, very little scrutiny was given to the actual voting results.  
But if Romney had been willing to fight, there was actually quite a bit of evidence that the election was potentially stolen from him.
According to the Election Protection Coalition, voters all across America reported over 70,000 voting problems by five o’clock Eastern time on election day in 2012.  In many instances, voters that were attempting to vote for Mitt Romney were having their votes switched to Barack Obama by the voting machines.  We are going to look at some examples of this phenomenon below.
In particular, we want to focus on the swing states, because that is where most of the voting irregularities seem to have popped up.  If you are going to steal an election, you don’t really care too much about the really “red states” or the really “blue states”.  Rather, the key would be to shift enough votes in the tightly contested swing states to ensure a victory for your candidate.  And so let’s take a look at what happened in some of the most important swing states during the last election.
Ohio
During election night in 2012, the pundits breathlessly proclaimed that it was all going to come down to Ohio.  They told us that if Mitt Romney was going to have any chance of winning the election that he had to win Ohio, and so that was the state to watch more than any other.
One of the counties where Barack Obama really needed to run up votes was in Cuyahoga County.  But Barack Obama didn’t just solidly win in Cuyahoga County.  In fact, there were 16 precincts were Mitt Romney did not receive a single vote.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Earlier today I went to the official Cuyahoga County website, and the results from the last election are still up.  The following are the vote totals for Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in the precincts where Mitt Romney did not get any votes…
0154 CLEVELAND -02-Q: 542 – 0
0192 CLEVELAND -04-L: 388 – 0
0204 CLEVELAND -05-E: 597 – 0
0205 CLEVELAND -05-F: 483 – 0

0288 CLEVELAND -09-E: 478 – 0
0523 EAST CLEVELAND -04-C: 486 – 0
There were also a whole host of precincts in Cuyahoga County where Mitt Romney received just one or two votes.  
Overall, Barack Obama won more than 99 percent of the vote in more than 100 precincts in just this one county.
How in the world does that happen?..."

States with the Best & Worst Representation on Election Day

States with the Best & Worst Representation on Election Day | WalletHub®:
"...Although demographic composition does not necessarily reflect Americans’ political conscience, the data historically have helped to predict voting behavior among different segments of society and consequently have impacted election outcomes.
A recent Pew Research report, for instance, found that very different demographic groups support Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
In previous analyses of the U.S. electorate, WalletHub determined which states’ and metro areas’ populations most closely mirror the rest of the nation. 
We also compared the likeness of the U.S. with Iowa and New Hampshire.
On the heels of those reports and ahead of this November’s landmark presidential election, WalletHub’s analysts dived deeper by determining which of the 50 states’ voters are most demographically representative of their electorates. 
More specifically, we compared each state’s voter distribution to its electorate distribution by race, age and gender to determine the state’s Voter Representation Index.
We then applied the same approach to determine the National Voter Representation Index, which compares U.S. voters to the national electorate based on four additional demographic categories: employment status, family income, educational attainment and marital status..."

Immunity deals stopped FBI from investigating BleachBit use in Clinton email case | Washington Examiner

Immunity deals stopped FBI from investigating BleachBit use in Clinton email case | Washington Examiner:

"Immunity agreements offered to two of Hillary Clinton's top aides prevented the FBI from looking into the circumstances surrounding the use of BleachBit, a digital deletion tool, to destroy the former secretary of state's emails.

In a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch Wednesday, four Republican committee chairmen demanded to know why Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, two witnesses who also served as Clinton's personal attorneys, were granted such expansive protections despite the FBI's awareness that they had participated in potentially illegal activities."



What you need to know about these creepy clowns

What you need to know about these creepy clowns | MLive.com:
"Creepy clown sightings are becoming more common by the day, with bizarre reports increasingly permeating social media feeds and everyday conversation.
In all, more than 20 states and 20 Michigan cities have seen incidents involving people dressed as clowns freaking people out or breaking the law.
Here is a little background and updated information on creepy clowns:
  • Where in the world did this start? 
South Carolina seems to be where this story had its origins after a string of clown sightings popped up in late August.
The New York Times reports children and adults at an apartment complex said clusters of clowns would try and lure them into the woods, allegedly going as far as offering them money for a trip into the trees.
In what sounds like a plot for season two of "Stranger Things," the children reportedly said the clowns were forest-dwellers who lived in a house by a pond.
Police never confirmed the sightings, and found no evidence of "clown paraphernalia" at the house by the pond.
The Greenville Sheriff's office in South Carolina reports residents living in the apartment complex were so shaken up that they fired shots into the wooded area, according to the N.Y. Times.
Stories of these reported real-life nightmares was enough to spread the epidemic.
  • Wait, has this seriously spread to Michigan?
  • Any serious reports?

News - Report: Clinton Foundation Used Taxes to Give AIDS Patients Diluted Drugs

News - Report: Clinton Foundation Used Taxes to Give AIDS Patients Diluted Drugs | Heartland Institute:
The Clinton Foundation likely partnered with a corrupt drug company producing “watered down” HIV/AIDS drugs for African patients in exchange for donations to the foundation and million-dollar consulting contracts for Bill Clinton.
The Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation likely partnered with a corrupt drug company producing “watered down” HIV/AIDS drugs for African patients in exchange for donations to the foundation and million-dollar consulting contracts for Bill Clinton, a new congressional report states.
The foundation partnered with the Indian drug manufacturer Ranbaxy in 2003 to procure cheap HIV/AIDs drugs for African patients. Ranbaxy deceived the U.S. government into buying watered-down drugs in multi-billion-dollar deals likely negotiated by the foundation, according to a September 2016 report by Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s (R-TN) office. Her website summarized the report’s key findings in this way:
  • “The Clinton Foundation likely facilitated the distribution of watered down HIV/AIDS medications in sub-Saharan Africa through its Health Access Initiative.
  • “The distribution of watered down HIV/AIDS medications in sub-Saharan Africa may have increased patient mortality rates.
  • “Watered down HIV/AIDS [anti-retrovirals] were purchased with taxpayer money … as a result of price agreements, some of which were likely negotiated by the Clinton Foundation.
  • “President Clinton was personally enriched with million dollar consulting contracts by a friend of convicted felon, and Ranbaxy advocate, Rajat Gupta from 2002­–2008...”

Strangers in our own land: The non-citizen voter fraud disaster
"Several weeks after a court ordered Ohio to stop cleaning its voter rolls from dead voters, likely raising the specter of voter fraud in the key battleground state, a new report reveals how Virginia and Pennsylvania — two other critical states — have seen hundreds of cases of non-citizens voting.
That raises the question: Is the foundation of our democratic republic and national sovereignty no longer secure?
Earlier this week, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), headed by former Justice Department Attorney J. Christian Adams, released a pair of damning reports showing how the voting rolls in parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania are compromised with ineligible voters and that some of those voters have actually cast ballots in recent elections.
What is more disquieting about this analysis is that it covered only a handful of counties via public record requests made through the National Voter Registration Act.
Thanks to stonewalling from local election officials, a story Conservative Review first broke, PILF could not obtain comprehensive data on these two battleground states, which makes it all the more likely the number of registered voters who are non-citizens or otherwise ineligible to vote is much higher..."

One-Third of VA Suicide Hotline Calls Go Unanswered Due to Government Employees Leaving Early

One-Third of VA Suicide Hotline Calls Go Unanswered Due to Government Employees Leaving Early - Katie Pavlich:
Earlier this year we learned the VA suicide hotline, which is supposed to serve as a crucial, last ditch resource for veterans in dire need, often times goes unanswered and straight to voicemail.
Now a new report from PBS shows up to a third of all veteran calls to the suicide hotline go unanswered due to VA employees leaving their posts and obligations early, once again proving the careless culture at the VA remains after two years of scandal and embarrassment.
More than one-third of calls to a suicide hotline for troubled veterans are not being answered by front-line staffers because of poor work habits and other problems at the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to the hotline’s former director.
...Coverage at the crisis line suffers “because we have staff who routinely request to leave early,” he said.
According to the VA's own numbers, 20 veterans per day commit suicide..."

Must read!-----2016 election is a referendum on government corruption

2016 election is a referendum on government corruption | TheHill:
There is a litmus test.
If you would like to know how a Hillary Clinton administration would operate, remind yourself of how her email scandal was handled, not just by Hillary and her aides, but by the Obama Department of Justice, the FBI and the Republicans in Congress — one might say they are all unindicted co-conspirators in a cover-up.
It is a scandal punctuated by government lying and stonewalling and a conspicuous absence of moral courage by those in a position to do the right thing.
Author of “Clinton Cash,” Peter Schweizer, said that this secrecy and financial scandal is unprecedented in terms of scale.
The efforts taken by the Clintons to avoid transparency by setting up a private server and the quantity of money flowing to them dwarfs any previous government scandal. During Hillary’s public service, about $250 million went to the Clintons directly and about $2 billion to the Clinton Foundation, an entity seemingly designed to intentionally evade the laws preventing foreign interests from influencing American politics and policy decisions.
If allowed to stand without accountability, the scandal will itself become a precedent for other greedy politicians to follow, essentially putting America up for sale to the highest international bidder.
According to reports, Hillary Clinton established her private email server on Jan. 13, 2009, eight days prior to her confirmation by the Senate as secretary of State. She later identified March 18, 2009, as the date she began using the private server.
Her use of a private nonsecure server for government business, including the exchange of classified material, remained known only to high officials in the Obama administration until after the Islamic terrorist attack on the U.S. facility in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012.
As a consequence of that attack, the nonpartisan government accountability organization Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Department of State for Benghazi-related emails and other information on Nov. 7, 2012.
Sometime during the week ending on March 15, 2013, Romanian hacker Marcel Lehel Lazar, aka “Guccifer,” accessed the email account of Sidney Blumenthal, a Clinton confidant, indicating that Hillary had received sensitive, confidential information on what was later revealed to be the private server she improperly used for government business.
It was not the vigilance of government that uncovered Hillary’s private email server, but the intrusions of a computer hacker and the pressure brought to bear on the Obama administration’s Department of Justice and the FBI through ligation by Judicial Watch.
By March 2015, even the Hillary-friendly New York Times finally admitted that she did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure as secretary of State and she exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business, a potential violation of the Federal Records Act.
And what about Congress?
As Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, has noted, Hillary testified in a congressional hearing that she turned over all her emails, a statement which we now know is false. In addition, emails were destroyed after Congress had subpoenaed them. Hillary could have been found in contempt of Congress or impeached, even now, because a federal official need not be in office to be impeached. Yet, rather than act, Congress chose to refer the matter of perjury to the Obama Department of Justice for criminal investigation knowing full well that nothing would be done.
The saddest casualty of the Hillary Clinton email scandal is the, perhaps, irreparable institutional damage done to the FBI by its director, James Comey. It is now clear that he never intended to conduct a proper investigation and, for purely political reasons, he was never going to recommend prosecution. In essence, Comey gave FBI blessing to a double standard of justice, one for powerful people like the Clintons and one for the rest of us.
Also, we have recently learned that the FBI is now in the business of destroying evidence.
Think about that.
The FBI destroyed evidence in a criminal investigation forever preventing the use of that evidence in any pending or future case.
As part of a “side agreement” brokered by the Department of Justice, Comey agreed to destroy the laptops of Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, after the two women were granted immunity.
Earlier, referring to Mills, who was Hillary's chief of staff at the State Department, Comey stated intestimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that “we have no evidence to establish that she committed a crime,” in relation to Hillary’s use of a personal email server.
If Comey did not believe Mills committed a crime, then why would she need immunity and why would the evidence need to be destroyed?
The exoneration of Hillary Clinton was an act of government malfeasance, a conscious choice favoring political expediency over the principle of “equal justice under law” in order to preserve a corrupt status quo.

Racism has little to do with hatred and mostly to do with who has power.”
"This is why white men created race in the first place—to maintain power..."
