Daily Update

Did the FBI cave again because the Department of Justice did not want the Clinton Foundation investigated? Here is more on the new allegations.  And here is the CNN Report that sheds more light on the pay-to-play Hillary and Bill love so much.  Even the Washington Post is reporting on the Clinton’s favorite past time.

When will people learn that what government gives you it can also take away.  The democrats, and only democrats voted for Obamacare and while they do not want to take it away from you, Obamacare is collapsing and cannot continue.   Then there are times when government promises revenue to balance their budgets and it just never materializes.   Will Buffalo’s huge Solar City enterprise fall to the same fate?  While we are on the topic of government doing what it wants to do, the National Center for Public Policy Research has a legitimate question about the 1964 Civil Rights Act.   Here is another example of government out of control.  And let’s not forget what the IRS is capable of doing to innocent citizens.

Daily Update

File this articles under:  Cuomo trying to reset (with the Clinton’s)  after DNC Convention.   Gov. Cuomo blames Legislature after Hillary Clinton comes under fire for unfulfilled promise to add 200,000 upstate New York jobs when she was senator

The above article shows Governor Cuomo trying to make amends with democrats after being panned for his DNC speech.  Then he blasts his fellow democrats in this article.  Ummm, Governor, Buffalo was not the only area to “hemorrhage jobs”, the rest of the state is still hemorrhaging jobs.  

Governor Cuomo — and Mayor de Blasio —  should be more concerned about this!  By the way, Mr. Mayor, this is not how you increase city funds.

How silly of us for thinking Hillary can’t create jobs.   Here is how she creates jobs…of course, a pay-to-play job comes with a prerequisite and a pungent stench.  Here is how The Hill plays the information.

Hillary avoids pertinent press questions again…one would think with all the good press she gets from them she would be more willing to talk to them.

Daily Update

There she goes again, Hillary just cannot help herself from exaggerating what she will do if elected.  She promised New Yorker’s 200,00 jobs as Senator and failed; now the promise is 640,000 for New Yorker’s.  Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Weekly Wrap-Up

If you like your health care plan you can keep it, the Benghazi attacks were inspired by a YouTube video… and now, the U.S. did NOT pay a $400 million ransom to Iran for the release of U.S. hostages. 

It’s the latest lie from the Obama Administration – about something that endangers Americans everywhere.

Not a ransom? Even Obama’s IRS wouldn’t believe a whopper like that.

As Mike Pence says, the whole world knows the handout to Iran was a ransom payment – if it wasn’t, why keep it a secret

And now we learn how Iran spent its ransom windfall.

I’ve made this Iran payoff the theme of our new Weekly Poll: How would you describe President Obama’s “not-a-ransom” claim? What do you think will be the most damaging result of this payoff?  Do you believe this is the worst lie President Obama has told? (As you know, there’s plenty of competition.) 

Vote today – the answers on this topic should be very interesting. 

Just as the ransom payment to Iran isn’t really a ransom payment, this payoff to the Clinton Foundation by a group that pushes Sharia Law isn’t really outrageous.  

This week we learned specifically how much damage Hillary will do to our economy – “Hillarynomics” will increase the deficit by $2.2 trillion and spend three times the revenues coming in – and by the way, America will be bankrupt

No wonder Hillary is (accidentally?) saying that she will raise taxes on the middle class.

We can’t afford any more “big ideas” from the left – Obamacare’s failure is proof of that.

Finally, here in New York, our friend John Faso is doing his best to run a principled, responsible campaign in the midst of left-wing extremism.

Have a great weekend!

Daily Update

Help me understand this — President Obama who airlifted $400 million to Iran in January as 4 Americans were being released by Theran and claims it wasn’t ransom — is calling Donald J. Trump “unfit to be President” while holding a news conference with the Prime Minister of Singapore.  President Obama consistently praises Hillary despite the fact that the FBI Director detailed a long list of Clinton’s violations but declined to prosecute the case. 

Mr. President, your remarks are purely political and made to help elect a woman who is unfit to be president just to protect your legacy. 

Need more proof that Hillary is unfit to be president.  Watch this clip with Joe Connor on Fox and Friends this morning. 

Of course, there are still things we do not know about Hillary’s term as Secretary of State.

This is a terrifying thought

Expect more of this if Hillary were to become president.

Daily Update

Today we have more followup on getting the rest of the story.  Who is Khizr Khan?  Of course he is a grieving father — the loss of a child leaves a wound so deep that time cannot heal it — but is he also a man with an agenda helping immigrants to buy their way into the United States?  Is he using the freedoms granted us in our US Constitution to promote his belief that “to Muslims, the Quran being the very word of God, it is the absolute authority from which springs the very conception of legality and every legal obligation.”  Donald J. Trump made a grave error in what he said, but knowing more helps us understand that Mr. Khan’s attack on Mr. Trump was more politically motivated than this grieving father wants you to know.  Captain Humayun Khan gave his life in the service of his country and let us not forget his sacrifice…may he rest in peace with all of our gratitude for helping to keep freedom and our way of life strong.  Gov. Mike Pence responds.

Daily Update

Just a quick reminder on how important it is to go beyond the headlines.  Paul Harvey used to remind us of the “rest of the story” and for your information here is the rest of the story on what Donald Trump said to the parents of hero Captain Humayun Khan.  The media and those who want to see Donald Trump destroyed are all to quick to react to partial statements.

Likewise, few will report on the glaring lies Hillary said on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.  While Wallace did his best…Hillary was in full spin mode. Listen and watch the cunning use of words as she answers Chris Wallace.   “I don’t hold any ill feeling for someone who in that moment may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.”  Seriously?  Patricia Smith should be grateful you don’t hold any “Ill feeling.”  Then ask yourself what it would be like if she became number 45?  Remember what FBI Director James Comey said to Congressman Trey Gowdy. Always get the rest of the story and know who you are voting for.  You know Hillary’s interview with Chris Wallace was pure fantasy spin when even the fact checker at the Washington Post gives it 4 “Pinocchios.”

Weekly Wrap-Up

Hillary Clinton is now the Democrats’ presidential nominee, but her acceptance speech was little more than an uninspired liberal wish list. Or, as John Podhoretz says, “Hillary blew it.”

Do you want to listen to Hillary Clinton for four years?” That’s what the Washington Examiner asks of voters. My answer is a resounding “no.” 

Hillary says this election is “a moment of reckoning” – I think we can all agree on that – but Charles Krauthammer notes that there’s no substance when it comes to the Clinton campaign. 
“She seeks the office because, well, it’s the next — the final — step on the ladder,” he states.

Hillary certainly can’t run on her Senate accomplishments (well, accomplishment is more like it) – and the Democrats’ claims that she saved millions of lives doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Republican Donald Trump had quite a bit to say during Hillary’s speech, as I’m sure you can imagine. He let loose with a series of blistering tweets that brought a dose of reality to the Democrats’ convention. 

One of my favorites was: “No one has worse judgement than Hillary Clinton — corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes.” There are plenty more – which of Trump’s comments was your favorite? That’s the first question in our new Weekly Poll. 

For a sweeping indictment of Hillary Clinton and all the corruption she represents, I urge you to check out the documentary “Clinton Cash,” which you can watch free at Breitbart.com. 

As a voters, what do you think is the most important reason to watch a film like “Clinton Cash?” That’s the second question in this week’s poll – I know that Conservative Party friends and supporters stay informed, so I’m interested to see what you have to say.
 
In his Wednesday night speech, President Obama painted a far rosier picture than most U.S. voters see – leading Investor’s Business Daily to ask Americans, “Are you better off than you were seven years ago?

I think that’s a great inspiration for the third Poll question this week, with a slightly different spin: Just how much worse off is our nation, in your opinion, after seven years of Obama? 

News like this is very much not what Hillary and the Democrats want to hear as they fight to replace “Obamanomics” with an exact replica, “Hillarynomics.” 

There’s bad news just for liberals, too: As Democrats have no established themselves as “the party of safe socialism,” according to Rich Lowry – but Bernie Sanders’ supporters aren’t buying it, and neither are millennials, it seems. 

Have a great weekend!

 

Daily Update

Tonight is the night Hillary Clinton accepts the manipulated nomination to become the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party.  According to The Hill, Hillary will cast the election as a “moment of reckoning.”  Hillary and her cronies have done their best to reinvent her, yet again, as a dedicated public servant only interested in the well beings of others.  Here is a more accurate picture of the woman who was too busy worrying about what the rescuers of our citizens in Benghazi would wear instead of actually rescuing them.  Here is what Dr. Sebastian Gorka thinks of Hillary’s foreign policy record. 

Hillary Clinton’s Petard.  

John Stossel opines on Clinton’s Cash.

Michael Goodwin sums up last night’s DNC convention with this little tidbit about Hillary “But for one night, she was a saint. Her husband said so.”  Most of Goodwin’s column is great, however, I disagree with his statement that the “Democratic Party is not the same party it was a generation ago, and it’s definitely not Bill Clinton’s party anymore.”  Bill and Hillary were leftist when they entered the White House.  Hillary lobbied for government run health care, Bill’s agenda was forced to change when the Republicans stood strong in 1994.  Bill adapted to the changes sought and took credit, but neither ever changed their core beliefs; both are quite comfortable with today’s Democratic Party.  Sensible democrats are not, they become conservatives or republicans.   Americans are smart and understand how the Clinton’s are chameleons adapting to the current climate to consolidate personal power. 

Byron York: After Bill’s speech, is it ‘change maker’ Hillary or ‘steady’ Hillary?

Tammy Bruce gives us her take on the DNC Convention so far.  It ends with this “Recently, Hillary said if elected she’d put Bill Clinton in charge of the economy and during Sunday’s “60 Minutes” interview, she said as president she’d be calling Mr. Obama for his advice. In other words, even Hillary doesn’t think she can be president. It’s the one thing we can trust her on.”
