“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”-Ronald Reagan
Donald Trump, Jr. is getting rave reviews for last night’s speech at the RNC Convention. In case you missed it, watch it here. John Podhoretz was impressed so was Guy Benson. John Podhoretz states at the end of his column “I do not believe his (Trump Jr.) portrait of his father is an accurate reflection of who Donald Trump is or what his interest is in politics or the presidency, I question John Podhoretz on his assumption…who knows him best Mr. Podhoretz, you or his son?
The NY Post editorial begins with “More bad news about the Iran nuclear deal landed Monday — a dangerous secret that President Obama has been keeping from the American people.” Read the rest of it here.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has found a new way to spend your hard earned tax dollars! He will have a year long Lottery so 2000 winners who can not afford the $680 application fee for citizenship will be picked up by us! There goes another $1, 360,000 of your hard earned money.
Thank you, Professor Carol Swain, for having the courage to say the truth. Rich Lowry has a few thoughts on Obama’s lies about police violence hurt more than they help.
Will President Obama continue to campaign for Hillary when she makes statements like this? There is no real friendship between the two of them and as long as she continues to jab our thin-skinned president one has to wonder how long he will stand by his woman.
Maureen Dowd, writes this in the NY Times: “Hillary willfully put herself above the rules — again — and a president, campaign and party are all left twisting themselves into pretzels defending her.” How does a woman write this and still believe she should be president? Her column ends with “The Clintons work hard but don’t play by the rules. Imagine them in the White House with the benefit of low expectations.” So Americans should put a woman in the White House knowing full well she does not play by the rules — yet demands that everyone else does — and think that she will bring honor to the White House. Electing Hillary will bring us closer to life in Panem.
Hillary Clinton’s press conference phobia. Would you believe the author states in the article that”She’s just too damn professional for her own good.” I guess he didn’t watch the FBI presser on Hillary’s non-indictment. But he does go on to say “But Clinton’s inability or unwillingness to tolerate the mundanity of a press conference speaks to a psychological weakness that is almost unprecedented in modern American politics.” Psychological weakness, extremely carelessness, untrustworthy…just some of the words used to describe the woman running for president of the greatest country in the world.
The Washington Post reminds us of an earlier near miss of a Hillary indictment.
The Washington Free Beacon has an excerpt from Heather MacDonald’s new book, “The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe.” You can read it here.
The week began celebrating America’s birthday and all the reasons why America is still the beacon to freedom. The week ends on grief —the unfortunate deaths of two men by police officers and the revenge carnage of five innocent police officers gunned down while on duty protecting people exercising their right to protest. America mourns again and our president while stating “there is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks or any violence against law enforcement” makes it political by ending his statement with this “We also know that when people are armed with powerful weapons, unfortunately it makes attacks like these more deadly and more tragic and in the days ahead we’re going to consider those realities as well.” A night of heartbreak brings resolve: Back the Blue.
We also learned yesterday that Hillary Clinton let individuals without security clearance have access to her non-secured server. Comey also noted that “I don’t think that our investigation established that she was actually particularly sophisticated with respect to classified information, and the levels, and the treatment.” This begs the question — how can a woman who was First Lady for eight years, a US Senator for eight years, Secretary of State for 4 years, not be particularly sophisticated with respect to classified information and still become the leader of the free world? Our second question gives you the opportunity to give your thoughts on this.
Noted economist, Larry Kudlow, lets us know Hillary has no growth plan for “lousy economy”
“Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.
For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later “up-classified” e-mails).
None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail.”
Here is what the Washington Times thinks of Director Comey’s statement. “He said that shouldn’t be seen as a green light to others — indeed, he said those who behave like Mrs. Clinton often face administrative sanctions from their employers, or lose security privileges. But with Mrs. Clinton out of office now, neither of those alternatives is available in her case.”
The really sad part is that her followers don’t care. They will support Hillary and see her as a victim of the vast right-ring media conspiracy rather than a woman so careless she endangers the safety of American citizens. Hillary’s covetous desire to be president is all that matters to her and her inner circle; her lack of judgement in getting there is a wake-up call to all American’s. She will stop at nothing to attain her dream and today the FBI Director gave her carte blanche to pursue it.
Congratulations to Phil Oliva, John Faso and Claudia Tenney — the Conservative Party endorsed candidates in the 18th, 19th and 22nd Congressional Districts respectively, on winning their Republican Primary! Now on to victory in November!
John Podhoretz opines on the Benghazi Report saying in part that when it comes to radical Islam and the Obama administration, the truth is always the first casualty.
The House Benghazi Report is released and this is what Congressman Trey Gowdy has said about his report that it is not meant to be an indictment of Mrs. Clinton, but rather a look at the full picture in the run-up to the attack, the handling of the attack that night, and the effort to erroneously blame a video later. Here is some coverage of the report; from the Washington Times, here and here; from Politico; from NBC News; from the NY Post; and from Fox News here and here. You can read the full report here.
