TOPPLE YOURSELF, BI***: Billionaire Hillary Clinton's Pathetic Class Warfare Rhetoric

I call Hillary Clinton a billionaire because -- in addition to her personal net worth of about $25 million -- she helps control the Clinton Global Crime Fund Initiative. Thanks to an endless series of "pay-for-play" scandals in which foreign governments donated cash for State Department favors, the Clinton warchest is worth about $2,000,000,000. That's two -- with a "b" -- billion.

Which makes Clinton's attack today on the left flank of fellow multi-millionaire Elizabeth Warren all the more obnoxious.

So Hillary Rodham Clinton has acquired a brand new sobriquet. She’s come a long way, baby. She’s gone from the sharp knife-edge of bankruptcy, to having earned the nickname “Quid Pro Dough.” I don’t envy her wealth. I see her, but I wouldn’t want to be her. She’s made her money the old fashion way; she influence-pedaled...

Perhaps this is why she campaigns on the idea of hating success that is acquired by others. Here is her take on being an even more lame and more hypocritical version of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)...

Mrs. Clinton pointed at the top category and said the economy required a “toppling” of the wealthiest 1 percent, according to several people who were briefed on Mrs. Clinton’s policy discussions but could not discuss private conversations for attribution.

A “toppling of the 1%?” Does this entail a reprise of the Havana Bull Ring Trials? ... When Che Guevara lined people up against the wall it wasn’t to rank them from ugliest to dumbest*. Leftism always has purpose. As long as you have 1 dime more than the Leftist down the block, Leftism has a purpose. She’s doing her five fundraisers at the end of April for the people, you see.

With $2Bil in the bank vaults of the Clinton Foundation, she wants to get other people’s money out of politics. With $262Mil in “donations” during 2013 alone, she now wants to topple the 1%.


Topple yourself, bi***.

Like we say when the corporate jetsetters fly millions of miles in their private planes to convene meetings on "global warming", I'll believe Hillary's rhetoric when she starts living it.

CHART: 100 Years of the Income Tax

Courtesy of Americans for Tax Reform comes this visceral evidence of government's endless growth; in good times and bad it grows. It never shrinks. Like a bad rash. Or a tumor.


Which reminds me of the question that Democrats have refused to answer for well over 100 years: how do we know when the government has done growing?

What is their endgame? When will we know their massive government has reached its Utopian completion?

Cue the crickets.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF JUDGE BARBARA KLUKA: Make Her Name a Household Word

Those who have high blood pressure should not read this piece by David French, in which he describes the criminal abuse of the Wisconsin legal system by partisan Democrats aided and abetted by a scumbag in judge's robes.

If the first series of John Doe investigations was “everything Walker,” the second series was “everything conservative,” as Chisholm had launched an investigation of not only Walker (again) but the Wisconsin Club for Growth and dozens of other conservative organizations, this time fishing for evidence of allegedly illegal “coordination” between conservative groups and the Walker campaign.

In the second John Doe, Chisholm had no real evidence of wrongdoing. Yes, conservative groups were active in issue advocacy, but issue advocacy was protected by the First Amendment and did not violate relevant campaign laws. Nonetheless, Chisholm persuaded prosecutors in four other counties to launch their own John Does, with Judge Kluka overseeing all of them.

Empowered by a rubber-stamp judge, partisan investigators ran amok. They subpoenaed and obtained (without the conservative targets’ knowledge) massive amounts of electronic data, including virtually all the targets’ personal e-mails and other electronic messages from outside e-mail vendors and communications companies.

The investigations exploded into the open with a coordinated series of raids on October 3, 2013. These were home invasions, including those described above. Chisholm’s office refused to comment on the raid tactics (or any other aspect of the John Doe investigations), but witness accounts regarding the two John Doe investigations are remarkably similar: early-morning intrusions, police rushing through the house, and stern commands to remain silent and tell no one about what had occurred.

At the same time, the Wisconsin Club for Growth and other conservative organizations received broad subpoenas requiring them to turn over virtually all business records, including “donor information, correspondence with their associates, and all financial information.” The subpoenas also contained dire warnings about disclosure of their existence, threatening contempt of court if the targets spoke publicly.

For select conservative families across five counties, this was the terrifying moment — the moment they felt at the mercy of a truly malevolent state.

Godwin's Law be damned: Barbara Kluka would have thrived as a judge in Nazi Germany. She should be sanctioned and subjected to every criminal charge imaginable. Judges are supposed to uphold the law, not rubberstamp the criminal suppression of political opponents.

If you haven't bothered to read the article yet, please do so. You need to know how low the modern Democrat Party will stoop and right now it's pretty damn low indeed.

Hillary Clinton Must Answer for the Genocidal Caliphate She and Barack Obama Created in Libya

By Investor's Business Daily

Politics: As refugees flood the Mediterranean, Europe is in a crisis. But the issue is not about how many lifeboats to send; it's the failed state of Libya. Why isn't Hillary Clinton, the architect of U.S. Libya policy, answering questions?


The Islamic State beheaded more Christians in Libya, where the failed state enables terrorists to flourish and thousands are dying attempting to flee.
The European Union is being hit with a refugee crisis of unprecedented proportions as another boat loaded with emigres capsized near the Italian island of Lampedusa on Saturday. Nearly all of its 900 passengers drowned in what's billed as the worst maritime disaster in the history of the Mediterranean.

The Mediterranean, now known as "a cemetery without graves," will be crossed by some 500,000 refugees this year, up from about 220,000 last year.

At the same time, a second round of beheadings of Christians by Islamic State terrorists on Libya's beaches over the weekend drives the point home: Terrorists are on the rise, and a strong base of their operations is in Libya, a failed state that was taken over by a vile menagerie of pirates, slavers and smugglers in the rubble of the toppled Gadhafi regime.

Who's responsible here? None other than Hillary Clinton, who served as President Obama's secretary of state during the overthrow of the longtime dictatorship of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.

Mark Steyn arrives at the ultimate campaign slogan for 2016

The peerless Mark Steyn has tomorrow's QOTD, which is a must-read at least twice, and a slogan for the Republicans in 2016.

For me, the issue this US election season is the corruption. Sure, I'd like a balanced budget and less debt and repeal of Obamacare, but I'm getting used to being sold out on those issues. So I'm down to the bare minimum requirement for a politician: The corruption nauseates me, and, if it doesn't nauseate the candidates, then that explains a lot about why nothing happens on any of those other matters.

It's in the air, it's in my nostrils, and I'm sick of choking on it. We have a "justice" department that prosecutes a senator who made the mistake of crossing the President (Menendez) but declines to do anything about a tax collector who treats American taxpayers differently on the basis of how they vote (Lerner). We have a revenue agency that regards itself as the paramilitary wing of the ruling party. We have replaced equality before the law with a hierarchy of privilege, so that no-name ambassadors can be fired for breaking federal record-keeping requirements by a department whose boss outsources her federal records to her own server and then mass-deletes them with no more thought than when she's parking her van in the handicapped space. We have a federal police agency in which 26 out of its 28 hair analysts gave false testimony favorable to the prosecution. We have a cabinet officer who managed to get more firepower deployed to toss her designated scapegoat videomaker into the county jail than she assigned to the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi. We have a president who rules by decree on everything from immigration to health care - and a legislature of castrati too craven to object.

I would like a candidate who promises to hose out the sewer. Yes, yes, I know it's not as jolly and upbeat a slogan as "Morning in America" or "Hope and Change" or "A Thousand Points of Light", but hosing out the sewer happens to be what's necessary.


As of this writing, there is only one candidate in the field who:

(a) is routinely attacked by the establishment fogies of both parties;
(b) has never been forced to change his position on critical policy issues;
(c) and has proven to be a formidable debater in every venue imaginable.

That man is Ted Cruz. I urge you to consider supporting his campaign.

The time is now.

THANKS, OBAMA AND HILLARY: 'Genocide' charged as up to 700 drown while trying to flee Libya

And 'Genocide' is the word CNN uses:

It was the latest in a series of dangerous voyages as hundreds of men, women and children boarded a boat in Libya, hoping to make it safely to Europe.

But after a couple of days at sea, in the dark of night Saturday, the ship was in distress in the Mediterranean and sent out an SOS.

As rescuers approached, the migrants -- perhaps 700 people on board -- moved to one side of their boat, hoping to be saved. Their movement caused the large, multilevel boat to capsize, sending the desperate crowd plunging into the frigid water, their chance of survival slim.

According to Maltese authorities, who are working with Italian rescuers, only around 50 of the 700 have been saved.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were directly behind the destabilization of Libya. Hillary Clinton "falsely claimed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was planning genocidal attacks against his domestic enemies" in order to justify attacks by a US-led NATO coalition.

Obama went so far as to proclaim the death of the dictator a 'foreign policy success'.

The far left website Global Research well summarizes the results of the Obama-Hillary foreign policy disaster.

[Libya] is now in complete political anarchy, with a destroyed economy and a war torn society.

Presently, we cannot call Libya a State for after US/NATO armed intervention and regime change, practically all Libyan villages, from North to South, are now run by the various tribes that was once united under Gaddafi. Libya is in the state of civil war showing the inevitability of what Hobbes called “the ugly, brutish, nasty and chaotic state of nature” characterizing political anarchy. In this post-Gaddafi Libya, the anarchic and lawless militias are wrecking havoc in different parts of the country—each fighting each other for supremacy. The so-called “Islamist” Jemaa-Islamiyya and ISIS forces are busy carving out their own respective territories in the once secular and progressive socialist Libya.

Libya is now a stateless anarchy since various tribes and militias are declaring their own sort-of states in various parts of the country...

This was yet another instance of Obama bypassing Congress, claiming military action against Libya did not require Congressional approval. The New York Times went so far as to call Obama's actions "an illegal war" as the president violated the War Powers Act.

It has now been over three months since the first NATO bombs fell on Libya, yet President Obama has failed to request Congressional approval for military action, as required by the War Powers Act of 1973. The legal machinations Mr. Obama has used to justify war without Congressional consent set a troubling precedent that could allow future administrations to wage war at their convenience — free of legislative checks and balances.

To paraphrase Matthew Vadum, Obama put out the contract and Hillary carried out the hit, with the result being a burgeoning western arm of the ISIS caliphate and an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe.

Obama and Hillary own this disaster.

Obama toadie Jeb Bush backs confirmation of radical leftist Loretta Lynch as Attorney General

By Warner Todd Huston

Obama has been trying to get Loretta Lynch confirmed as the new head of the Department of Justice but the Senate has been dragging its feet.

This is a woman who has refused to say if she would investigate Hillary’s email violations and said that illegals have every right to work here in the USA like legal citizens do.But Jeb says she deserves to be confirmed.

Answering questions at a town hall with New Hampshire primary voters at the Snowshoe Club, Bush, an all-but-announced Republican presidential candidate, stopped short of explicitly calling for Lynch’s confirmation. Her nomination to replace Attorney General Eric Holder has been stalled for an unusually long 160 days over a Senate showdown on an unrelated sex-trafficking bill that includes a controversial abortion provision.

“I think that Presidents have the right to pick their team,” Bush told a crowd of about 95 voters and a horde of media.

Once again we see Jeb leaning left. He is a big government guy on education with his support of the failed Common Core policy and he is an open borders type who openly supports Obama’s un-Constitutional amnesty.

CHART: Tax Day is Almost Done, Here's How the Federal Government is Committing Fiscal Suicide

Courtesy of the Tax Foundation comes this ominous chart:


Here's what this chart tells us:

• The federal government has become a massive machine for wealth redistribution: it launders ever-increasing amounts of money through an expensive, outdated, wasteful, fraud-ridden bureaucracy and then tries to centrally manage the retirement system, the health care system, and the welfare system. It will, at the end of the day, have all of the success that the Soviet Union had.

• The core task of the federal government, which is protecting the American people, has become an afterthought. National security, in the form of defense or border enforcement, is a tiny fraction of the federal money-laundering, wealth redistribution machine.

Interest rates, which are at all-time lows -- suppressed by a Federal Reserve that has printed digital currency by the trillions -- will eventually go up. And, when rates go up, the results will be catastrophic across the board. Interest payments will squeeze out all other forms of spending, risking a complete collapse of the currency.

The idiots in Washington, both Democrats and establishment Republicans, have set the system up to implode.

We need a man outside the system -- a man like Ted Cruz, principled and steel-willed -- to start reforming this Rube Goldberg fiscal suicide machine.

Mia Love Obliterates Hillary Clinton With the Stroke of a Pen

Michael Cantrell relays this beautiful, concise riposte to the sleaziest candidate in modern American history.

Now more than ever, the American people require a president with a proven record of honesty and integrity. A president who believes America is an exceptional nation because it is built on a foundation of liberty and freedom. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton is not that leader. This is not about party, it's not about Washington, it's about us and what kind of country we want to leave for our children. If "our" United States of America is going to remain exceptional, we must expect more of those who wish to lead our nation.

In related Hillary news, the would-be empress held a "listening tour" on a college campus in Iowa (which means no one was allowed to ask her questions and students were actually locked in their buildings to prevent Hill from breathing the same air as the riff-raff).

Oh, and Hillary's 'unscripted' coffee shop sit-down with 'ordinary' Americans turned out to be just as phony as a jetsetter worth $200 million engaging in class warfare.


Lastly, it turns out that Congressional investigators (needless to say, the useless Darrell Issa) requested that Hillary answer questions about private email use while serving as Secretary of State... in 2012.

She ignored their requests and -- as is typical with the feckless, bumbling and complicit GOP establishment -- nothing ever came of their queries.

All in a day's work for "Inspector Clouseau Issa".

Remember when the Supreme Court actually put a judicial chokehold on fascism in America?

By Richard Ebeling

There was a time when the Supreme Court of the United States defended and upheld the Constitutional protections for economic liberty in America. This year marks the 80th anniversary of one of the Supreme Court’s finest hours, when it overturned Franklin Roosevelt’s agenda for economic fascism in the U.S.

The trend toward bigger and ever-more-intrusive government, unfortunately, was not stopped, but the case nonetheless was a significant event that at that time prevented the institutionalizing of a Mussolini-type fascist economic system in America.

On May 27, 1935, in a unanimous decision the nine members of the Supreme Court said there were constitutional limits beyond which the federal government could not go in claiming the right to regulate the economic affairs of the citizenry. It was a glorious day in American judicial history, and is worth remembering.

FDR’s Broken Promises for Smaller Government

When Franklin Roosevelt ran for president in the autumn of 1932 he did so on a Democratic Party platform that many a classical liberal, free market advocate might have happily supported and even voted for.

WHAT A RELIEF: Castro absolves Obama of fault for American "imperialist aggression"

I guess the entirety of the American population remains on the hook, but at least the genocidal dictator Raul Castro has abolved El Presidente from blame for our "meddling" (Obama's words, not mine).



Obama meets with genocidal dictator Raul Castro, the first U.S. President to meet with Cuba's leader since the Communist Revolution.
Cuban President Raul Castro recounted the history of U.S. "imperialist aggression" in Latin America in an address here Saturday at the 7th Summit of the Americas, although he absolved U.S. head of state Barack Obama of responsibility for those past actions...

"All (of the previous U.S. presidents) are indebted to us, but not President Obama," who is an "honest man ... with a manner about him that speaks to his humble origins," the Cuban leader said.

Castro also described as a "positive step" Obama's recent statement indicating he will soon make a decision on Cuba's presence on a U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.

"They say we're terrorists. And we indeed have acted in solidarity with many peoples that may be considered terrorists" under the viewpoint of "imperialism," Castro said, noting that he was referring to Cuba's humanitarian missions in various developing countries.

I suppose this is the least Castro could do after Obama formally apologized for "meddling" in Latin and South America as well as renouncing the circa-1823 Monroe Doctrine.

TRUTH: The Cure for Cognitive Dissonance

By Jim Quinn

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

Every time the BLS puts out their monthly propaganda report on the wonderful state of the U.S. jobs market and states with a straight face the unemployment rate is a measly 5.5%, their corporate mouthpieces in the mainstream cheerleader media regurgitate the fake numbers and urge you to buy stocks. The millionaire talking heads on CNBC and the corrupt bought off politicians in D.C. make broad sweeping declarations about economic recovery, strong job growth, GDP advancement, record highs in the stock market, and soaring consumer confidence.

The people living in the real world know otherwise, but they want to believe the “experts” and “leaders”. This dichotomy between reality and what they are being told is causing a tremendous amount of mental stress. This cognitive dissonance of attempting to reconcile what they are experiencing in their every day existence and the propaganda being peddled at them on a daily basis from big media, big bankers, corporate titans, and captured politicians pulling the strings and running the show, is causing psychological discomfort. Most people want their lives to get better, so to reduce their cognitive dissonance they choose to believe the government and media reports about economic improvement.

It is only a small minority who want to know the unvarnished truth. They are drawn to alternative media websites, which the the captured corporate media refers to as doom sites. These critical thinking individuals understand the facts. The Deep State propaganda has no impact on these people because they have no cognitive dissonance. They know things are far worse than what is reported by the government and their media whores. Knowing the truth and seeing how the majority remain willfully ignorant results in rising anger among truth seekers. Huxley was right.

CRIMINAL: Feds order parched California farm district to use 9 billion gallons of water to save... 29 fish

No, this isn't an article from The Onion: "Should California Spend 4 Billion Gallons to Save a Few Fish?"

In the the heart of California’s drought-parched Central Valley, fruit and vegetable supplier to the nation, a water district is defying a federal order to give some endangered trout a 3.9 billion gallon water ride out to sea. And it could be the first skirmish in a much wider conflict.

The Endangered Species Act protects steelhead trout, a small population of which are attempting a recovery in the Stanislaus River, which flows out of the Sierra Nevada Mountains into Modesto, in the San Joaquin Valley. So earlier this week a federal fisheries agency—it’s unclear which one, and there are several— told the California branch of the Bureau of Reclamation (another water agency) that the fish needed more water to get out to the Pacific. The bureau in turn passed the order to the South San Joaquin Irrigation District, telling them to let a pulse of water through the dam on the Stanislaus.


It's unclear which federal fishery agency sent the letter? What the...? How many "federal fisheries agencies" do we need? Oh, but that's right, Democrats: there's nothing to cut in the vast federal bureaucracy. My bad.

But upon receipt, Jeff Shields, the manager of SSJID went rogue: “Whose water will be released down the Stanislaus River to satisfy the second pulse flow?” Not his, in other words.

It was the second such order in the past three weeks. The SSJID complied with the first. According to the Manteca Bulletin, a local paper that has been covering the standoff, this flushed out 15,000 acre feet of water and 23 steelhead trout. But this latest order, which would reportedly use another 12,000 acre feet to save only six fish, was too much for Shields. (Fisheries agencies haven’t yet confirmed that count.)


The two water "pulses" represent nearly 10 billion gallons of water that the feds want to use to save a grand total of less than 30 fish, when instead it could be used to irrigate farmland, feed and water animals, as well as meet residential water needs.

So Lewis said no to the Bureau, and then secured legal counsel. “We tried to work with the Bureau for the last several years. We’ve sent dozens of letters and ideas about how to manage the river more prudently and other issues that we felt needed to be addressed because they were affecting our water,” Shields told the Manteca Bulletin. “I understand that they’re busy and they have a river that they have to manage and water that they have to take care of, but we’re busy as well—we have water that we have to manage and people that we have to look out for as well.” According to Shields, this water is better used on human interests, like agriculture and homes.


These eco-Marxists are completely insane. Off their rockers.

The entire federal bureaucracy (I'm not including our defense and intel budgets) needs to be slashed by 75 percent. For starters.

THE GRANDPAPPY OF OBAMACARE CIRCLES THE DRAIN: African AIDS Tourists Overwhelming England's NHS

Writing at The Commentator, Vincent Cooper shines a spotlight on the fiscal tsunami engulfing the United Kingdom.

...the NHS is so short of resources that patients in some areas had to be treated in a hospital car park. But if that is true, was not Nigel Farage right to condemn the health service for putting the treatment of foreigners above the needs of those who have paid for that health service and now find themselves being treated in a car park?

Mr Miliband’s solution to hospital car park treatment in the NHS is to promise £2∙5 billion in extra funding. But such a promise shows the Labour Party to be in total denial about the nature of the economic problems facing the NHS.

Consider this fact. Public Health England estimates that of the almost 108,000 people who are HIV positive, almost 60,000 are from Africa. The cost to the NHS of anti-retroviral drug treatment for these African health tourists is well over £1 billion annually and rising, as more and more Africans and others hear about what’s on offer from the tax payer.

And it’s not only HIV tourists. There is the same costly problem with Hepatitis B, another big crowd-puller from all over the world to the NHS, and a disease which can be even more costly than HIV to treat.

But the costs of health tourism to the tax payer are not confined to medical treatment alone. Many of those HIV tourists would be in receipt of housing and other welfare allowances, quite possibly for the rest of their lives.

...The British Labour Party, once a genuine British workers’ party, has now morphed into a fanatically pro-immigration welfarist party that uses the NHS for its own political ends. It turns all debate on the NHS into a party political competition about who will pour the most money into a voracious NHS bottomless pit.

Unless we eradicate the scourge of Obamacare, that's the future of health care here in the U.S.

Please consider: "The Marxist-Democrat Left is using illegal immigration to destroy America".

THE DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA IS JUST THE BEGINNING: Green Terrorists are Sabotaging the U.S. Economy

By Sara Noble

Environmentalist extremists are controlling our policies at all levels of local, state and federal government.

The environmental terrorists are consuming land in the name of frogs and assorted creatures and putting cost prohibitive regulations on farmers and ranchers, raising the price of essential services and goods such as food and transportation. They are lowering our standard of living in the name of non-essential wildflowers and prairie chickens.

They have infiltrated the government at every level so that you now see the DOD tweeting their latest green initiative as ISIS, Al-Qaida, and Iran compete for hegemony in the Middle East and do so without resistance.

Americans are afraid to resist the lies on which they build their power. The majority have been silenced into blindness though truth is hiding in plain sight.

The EPA is a group of unelected bureaucrats -tyrants – who now act as an arm of extremists, pushing regulations on individuals, on every household, and every business without our permission.

The Pentagon, which should be concentrating on our safety and protection, is launching more than 600 new environmental projects at the same time we are cutting the Army to WWI levels and slashing military retirement pay and future raises.

What did Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and the UAE expect from the Clintons in exchange for tens of millions?

By AgainstCronyCapitalism.org

I am sure it was because these countries simply believed in the foundation’s mission.

(From McClatchy)

“The fundamental issue here is that you’ve got foreign businesses and foreign governments giving money to the Clinton Foundation partly because of the foundation’s work, but also because of the access to the upper echelons of power in America,” said Lawrence Jacobs, a professor at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs and a prize-winning author of numerous books on politics. “I think the people who know something about politics understand the wink and a nod that’s going on here: Give to Bill and become a friend of Hillary. . . . There’s kind of a political shakedown going on here.”

Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton, said that “it’s simply wrong to assert or even suggest” that donations to the foundation have influenced her foreign policy positions.

Indeed how could one “even suggest” such a thing. Or that these countries are trying to get in good with a potential future president? Ms. Clinton has no interest in such things. It’s not like she has a history of inside dealing or anything.

As we’ve said before, Hillary Clinton is counting on willful ignorance to make it to the White House. It is a vital part of her strategy.

SHOT: Top Spy: Hillary's Emails 'Likely' Hacked by China, Russia, Iran
A top intelligence official under President Obama, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, says that the chances Hillary Clinton's private emails were hacked is "very high." Flynn, who ran the Defense Intelligence Agency but is now retired, called it hackings "likely" ...

...Kelly asked, "What do you think the odds are that the Chinese, the Russians hacked into that server and her e-mail account?"

"Very high," Flynn said without hesitation. "Likely."

"Really?"

"Yep. Likely. They're very good at it. China, Russia, Iran, potentially the North Koreans. And other countries who may be 'our allies' because they can."

Flynn said we "all ought to be asked" about Hillary Clinton's emails and the security surrounding her private account.

BILL WHITTLE: "SIR, I WILL NOT OBEY THAT ORDER."

By Bill Whittle

Let’s just assume for a moment that you’re a radical, left-wing zealot, who was raised by actual communists, and who, naturally enough views the United States military as the tool of capitalist exploitation and colonial racism. Now, further assume that through a perfect storm of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, fate, money, power and media bias somehow conspired to make you Commander in Chief of those same armed forces.

What would you do?

You couldn’t very well scuttle 11 carrier strike groups. You can’t just destroy entire air wings, or armored divisions, or any of the rest – no matter how much you may want to. That would break the spell.

If you hate this country, and you especially hate the military, you simply cannot go around destroying the weapons – that’s too obvious. But you can do something much more subtle, and in the long run, even more disastrous, if your stated goal is to fundamentally change the country and the military that protects and defends it.

You don’t have to destroy the weapons. You don’t even have to destroy the warriors. All you have to do is create a set of conditions that are so incompatible with the warrior code that the warriors will remove themselves, because these are people who risk death and dismemberment, and whether at the tip or the end of the spear, generally live in appalling conditions, under great emotional hardship, for disgraceful levels of pay.

UNEXPECTEDLY: Lois Lerner Skates

By Investor's Business Daily

Scandal: The Justice Department says Lois Lerner, who used her IRS office to target the Tea Party, didn't waive her Fifth Amendment rights before Congress and won't be prosecuted for contempt over her missing emails.

Until former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is called to testify under oath before Congress about her multiple private email accounts on a personal server kept in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home, she won't get a chance to plead the Fifth Amendment as former IRS official Lois Lerner did in May 2013 before the House Oversight Committee regarding her division's targeting of Tea Party groups.

Clinton, under this administration, will likely not fear or face any criminal prosecution for violating the Federal Records Act and doing her official business on that personal server now deliberately wiped clean of records she knew were under subpoena and the subject of Freedom of Information Act lawsuits.

But then, Lois Lerner, poster child for hard-drive crashes and missing emails, won't face charges for contempt of Congress either. After pleading her innocence at that 2013 hearing, Lerner went on to invoke her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. This raised the question of whether the Constitution let her remain silent after she was not silent and pleaded her case.

GREAT NEWS: Obama pledges to cripple the U.S. economy to appease the United Nations' climate scam

By Investor's Business Daily

Climate Change: President Obama's proposal to cut U.S. emissions by 28% over 10 years as America's contribution to a global climate treaty will devastate our economy while doing nothing to reduce temperatures.

The "Clean Power Plan" that the Obama administration submitted Tuesday to the United Nations Framework on Climate Change met an end-of-March deadline for contributions to a treaty in the final stages of negotiations.

But the proposal, known to climate negotiators as an Intended Nationally Determined Contribution, isn't new. Obama announced the goal of reducing emissions by 28% below 2005 levels by 2025 as part of a joint climate pledge that he made in Beijing last November with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

It remains, however, a dangerous sacrifice of U.S. progress and economic freedom on the altar of the climate change religion.
