SYMPHONY OF LIES: Hillary Clinton’s Startlingly Awful Performance on Meet The Press

Hillary Clinton appeared today on Meet the Press and her performance was just as disingenuous and as evasive as you might have predicted.

Chuck Todd introduced Hillary Clinton with the collaborative and sympathetic disclaimer that "there's always conspiracy theories out there... you know?" as if active FBI investigations into the former Secretary of State's activities are conspiracy theories.

Todd began his questions with a clip from Clinton's appearance on Meet The Press is 2008, when she asserted her support for transparency and open government.

I want to have a much more transparent government. And I think we now have the tools to make that happen. I want to have as much information about the way our government operates on the internet. So the people who pay for it, the taxpayers of America can see that.

Hillary's template for evading honest answers followed a simple process:

Why Socialism Always Fails

By Mark J. Perry

Socialism is the Big Lie of the last century. While it promised prosperity, equality, and security, it delivered poverty, misery, and tyranny. Equality was achieved only in the sense that everyone was equal in his or her misery.

In the same way that a Ponzi scheme or chain letter initially succeeds but eventually collapses, socialism may show early signs of success. But any accomplishments quickly fade as the fundamental deficiencies of central planning emerge. It is the initial illusion of success that gives government intervention its pernicious, seductive appeal. In the long run, socialism has always proven to be a formula for tyranny and misery.

A pyramid scheme is ultimately unsustainable because it is based on faulty principles. Likewise, collectivism is unsustainable in the long run because it is a flawed theory. Socialism does not work because it is not consistent with fundamental principles of human behavior. The failure of socialism in countries around the world can be traced to one critical defect: it is a system that ignores incentives.

QOTD: "We have a president and a pope who speak down to us about so many things. Whether it’s immigration, whether it’s poverty, frankly, they do not appreciate the American people. They do not appreciate American history, the American heritage, what the people of this nation have done for themselves, and the rest of the world. It’s easy for a man like Barack Obama, who’s contributed zero to American liberty to go off on his ideological agenda and force his will on the American people because of the failure of the opposition party and the courts to stop him. It’s easy for a pope to come here from Italy, from the Vatican, and quite frankly, lecture us in many respects, and talk down to us in many respects about immigration. We, the most tolerant, giving people on the face of the earth, who sent our own men and women all over the world to fight wars for liberty...”

...what Barack Obama says about we the people, what the pope has said about we the people, doesn’t understand we the people. We are a unique, crucially important people in world history. And we are different. I don’t mean by DNA. I don’t mean by looks. I mean we are different, in terms of our mindset, our psychology, which is built around liberty" --Mark Levin

With the latest FOIA revelations, I am now officially calling on Hillary Clinton to suspend her campaign

Writing at The Wall Street Journal, Kimberley Strassel observes that if Hillary Clinton fails to achieve the presidency, it will not be because of her opponents. It will be due to a 1966 law called the Freedom of Information Act, which has already revealed her illegal and reckless mishandling of State Department emails in which classified documents were co-mingled with side deals concerning her family's so-called charity. And the worst disclosures are, in all likelihood, yet to come.

FOIA requires a complete inventory of all documents withheld by the targeted agency along with descriptions of each; this file is called a Vaughn Index and on Monday the State Department reluctantly handed over its version to a federal court.

The email descriptions are stunning:

• An email thread between then-Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills and a Clinton Foundation board member about the secretary of state’s planned trip to Africa.

• Emails between Ms. Mills and foundation staff discussing “invitations to foreign business executives to attend the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative.”

• Many undisclosed email thread in which State Department officials talk with Clinton Foundation officials about Bill Clinton speeches and Bill Clinton travel, including to events in North Korea and the Congo.

• At least 14 separate emails threads regarding Benghazi.

Pope Francis vs. Pope John Paul II

On 27 January 1979, Pope John Paul II offered the following plea to the Clergy:

You are priests and religious; you are not social or political leaders or officials of a temporal power. For this reason I repeat to you "Let us not be under the illusion that we are serving the Gospel if we `dilute' our charism through an exaggerated interest in the wide field of temporal problems." (Address to the Clergy of Rome, 9 November 1978)...

...Let us not forget that temporal leadership can easily be a source of division, while the priest must be a sign and agent of unity and brotherhood. Secular functions are the specific field of action of laymen, who have to improve temporal matters with the Christian spirit.

This statement stands in stark contrast to the exhortations of the current, radical Marxist Pope who has excoriated capitalism as "the dung of the devil".

It is not capitalism, but Marxism -- the ideology of both Pope Francis and Barack Obama -- that has resulted in more mass murder (138 million in the 20th century alone according to academics) and economic misery (the economic "failure of socialism in countries around the world can be traced to one critical defect: it is a system that ignores [human] incentives.") than any political system in history.

Paraphrasing the EIB Network, each of Pope Francis's encyclicals are often an unvarnished paen of some facet of Marxism, referring to "unfettered capitalism" and "global warming". He has gone so far as to circulate a draft of a major environmental treatise that lays the blame for 'the bulk of global warming' on humans.

In fact, a major peer-reviewed study proves that the majority of scientists in the field are skeptical that global warming is a crisis and, further, that humans are to blame.

In fact, meteorologist Joe Bastardi recently published two charts and begged the Pontiff to review them.

One thing is clear: Barack Obama has found a soulmate in Pope Francis and the combined damage these men can do to Western civilization is substantial.

No Refugees, No Terrorism

By Daniel Greenfield

Jordan’s Queen Rania told Europeans that they could either take in the Syrian refugees that her country doesn’t want or the refugees would turn to terrorism. And what if these “refugees,” like so many of the other Muslims who had settled in Europe over the years, decide that they like terrorism anyway? 

A tenth of London approves of ISIS now. Support for the Islamic State among the younger population in the UK, where Muslim demographics predominate, reaches as high as 14 percent.

What will it look like when tens of thousands of Muslims from the homeland of the Islamic State are added to the population? How much support will there be for Islamic terrorism a decade from now when the mass Muslim migration has fundamentally reshaped the UK’s religious demographics?

Mark Levin Warns Republican Establishment: Don’t Even Think About Kevin McCarthy as Speaker

By Julia Hahn

Popular talk radio host and best-selling author Mark Levin is warning Republicans in Washington: don’t replace outgoing House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) with Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Levin’s a tirelessly warrior against Speaker Boehner and the Washington establishment. “Kevin McCarthy is Eric Cantor with 10 less IQ points,” Levin declares in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News.

The radio star adds Republicans must learn their lesson and not repeat the mistakes they made following Eric Cantor’s historic fall from power—namely that Republicans must replace Boehner with a “principled conservative.”

Levin explained that with the resounding defeat of the former-House Majority Leader, conservative voters made their voices heard and sent a clear message to the Republican establishment. Washington Republicans, however, refused to get the message.

“The Republican establishment never learned their lesson after Cantor… They replaced Cantor with McCarthy, who is a wheeler and dealer—he is not a principled conservative… My concern now is that they will do the same thing again,” Levin said.

CRUZ DESTROYS JOHN BOEHNER: Disgraced Speaker Worked Deal to Fund Planned Parenthood With Pelosi

In all seriousness, Ted Cruz just unleashed several quotes of the year as the bumbling, incoherent, chain smoking loser known as John Boehner has decided to collect his long-anticipated 8-figure retirement bonus by transferring to a lobbying role on K Street.

Hours after House Speaker John Boehner announced that he would be resigning from Congress, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz added fuel to the fire by saying he’d heard “early reports” that Boehner cut a deal with Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to continue funding some of President Barack Obama’s most controversial measures.

“I will say, the early reports are discouraging. If it is correct that the speaker, before he resigns, has cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to fund the Obama administration for the rest of its tenure, to fund Obamacare, to fund executive amnesty, to fund Planned Parenthood, to fund implementation of this Iran deal — and then, presumably, to land in a cushy K Street job after joining with the Democrats to implement all of President Obama’s priorities, that is not the behavior one would expect of a Republican speaker of the House,” Cruz told reporters at the conservative Values Voter Summit in Washington.

You want to know how much each of you terrifies Washington? Yesterday, John Boehner was speaker of the House,” Cruz said. “You come to town and somehow that changes. My only request is, can you come more often?”

...“If you vote for Hillary, you are voting for Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon,” Cruz said. “If you vote for me, under no circumstances will a theocratic country led by an ayatollah that chats death to America, will Iran be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. And if the ayatollah doesn’t understand that, we may have to introduce him to the 72 virgins.”

GAME OVER: Latest Email Drop Reveals Hillary Committed Perjury

The consistently excellent John Hayward relays word that new emails between SECSTATE Hillary Clinton and CENTCOM's David Petraeus have been discovered. This revelation completely contradicts her statement under oath that she had revealed all of her official correspondence and deleted only her yoga workouts and Chelsea's plastic surgery wedding plans.

What the Associated Press reported on Friday afternoon sounds like the “game over” moment Democrats have been fearing since the Clinton email scandal came to a boil:

The Obama administration has discovered a chain of emails that Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to turn over when she provided what she said was the full record of work-related correspondence as secretary of state, officials said Friday, adding to the growing questions related to the Democratic presidential front-runner’s unusual usage of a private email account and server while in government.

The messages were exchanged with [now] retired Gen. David Petraeus when he headed the military’s U.S. Central Command, responsible for running the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan [and] their existence challenges Clinton’s claim that she has handed over the entirety of her work emails from the account.

Hillary Clinton didn’t just “claim” she turned over all of her work-related emails. She signed a sworn statement to that effect in August, under penalty of perjury, and submitted it to a federal court. It’s the same statement her top aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills refused to sign...

The Left’s Climate Fraud Exploded in Two Simple Charts

Over at Patriot Post, meteorologist Joe Bastardi has a simple request for Pope Francis. Before the Pontiff continues his campaign to destroy capitalism -- the single system which has inarguably brought more wealth to more people than any other economic framework in world history -- Bastardi simply asks that he examine two simple graphs:

1.) Human progress: The amount of people, life expectancy and global personal GDP. These “hockey sticks” show that, since the advent of fossil fuels, the human condition has improved immensely.


The Uni-party’s 2016 Election Strategy

By Lawrence Sellin

The main objective of the political-media establishment and, in particular, Barack Obama is to prevent any post-election investigation of the rampant corruption in Washington DC.

Both the Democrats and the Republicans want to maintain their standing as permanent political elites, whereby they may continue to treat ordinary Americans as indentured servants and broker the tax revenues for the benefit of themselves and their wealthy donors.

It is clear that the Obamas and Valerie "Rasputin" Jarrett hate the Clintons and do not want to risk "payback time" from a vindictive and ruthless President Hillary.

The Obama strategy is stretch out the homebrew server scandal to undermine Hillary's campaign through a death by a thousand cuts. It has to be delicate surgery, something short of indictment and trial, which would likely implicate him, and something that would prevent retaliation from the Clinton camp, perhaps leaks of the Muslim or birther variety that we witnessed from them during the 2008 primary season.

Barack Obama has been secretly searching for a challenger to replace Hillary and is ready to endorse Vice President Joe Biden. But that backing comes with a price - Obama would select his running mate. The Obamas want a high-powered African American who can carry on the Obama legacy, and that choice is likely to be former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. In such a scenario, Biden would agree not run for re-election, paving the way for a Patrick presidency.

Equally eager to avoid any corruption investigations, the Republican establishment has selected Jeb Bush, the candidate most likely to continue business as usual and not raise any embarrassing questions.

BUT NO, HE’S NOT A MUSLIM: Obama overrules six national security agencies, releases "terrorist all-star"

By Sara Noble

Six national security agencies warned against releasing an extremely dangerous terrorist from GITMO but Obama circumvented them and ignored their recommendations.

Normally, these agencies must sign off on letting a detainee go. They also insist that their home country have security in place to monitor the detainee. Obama ignored them and had his own special committee appointed who then let him go. They overruled the six intelligence agencies. The White House is playing nasty, dangerous politics.

As the Pope’s plane landed outside D.C., the White House announced the release. All but Fox ignored it or didn’t notice it. It is, however, an extremely important story because Barack Obama has succeeded in completely politicizing the Department of Defense.

Obama wants to close GITMO and will send vicious terrorists back to their homes to kill more Americans in order to do it. He just did it over the recommendations of six intelligence agencies and Ash Carter. He formed his own select committee of compliant minions to make the decision about the release and they, of course, found it was safe to send him back to Saudi Arabia.

Abdul Shalabi was suspected of being an Osama bin Laden bodyguard and waged a 9-year hunger strike. Shalabi has agreed to take a rehabilitation class in Saudi Arabia. That’s how absurd this gets. It leaves 114 at GITMO with 52 already approved for transfer, but none of this is the story.

The real story is that Obama has been trying to pressure Secretary of Defense Ash Carter to approve the release of these very dangerous terrorists and hasn’t succeeded. These captives are supposed to be approved by six intelligence agencies and Ash Carter before being returned home, but instead the dictatorial president decided to unilaterally form his own committee of hand-picked toadies to make the decision.

BRINGING "CAMP OF THE SAINTS" TO LIFE: Pope Francis and Marco Rubio Urge Erasing U.S. Borders

By Julia Hahn

Pope Francis is urging America to throw open her borders to thousands of impoverished migrants, in part to atone for the “sins” of the colonial era.

“We must not repeat the sins and the errors of the past. We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible,” he declared before a joint session of Congress. “Thousands of persons are led to travel north in search of a better life for themselves and for their loved ones, in search of greater opportunities…We must not be taken aback by their numbers.”

The call was not entirely unexpected.

“America Atone,” read The Drudge Report’s banner story upon the Pope’s arrival to the White House a day before his historic Congressional address.

The headline linked to a Bloomberg piece entitled, “Obama to Bask In Pope’s Aura, But Francis Wants Economic Justice.” The article predicted the Pope would aim to “exploit” his “moral authority” to “pressure his host” nation on issues including mass immigration and wealth redistribution.

Indeed, as the Pope addressed the nation today it is clear that the immigration issue has hit a boiling point. Headlines blare:

European Migrant Crisis: Austria, Germany Near Tipping PointAs Europe Grasps For Answers, More Migrants Flood Its BorderPope Francis Urges Congress To Embrace Migrants… Western and UN Aid Falling Far Short… Five More Fleets On The Way, From Africa, India and Asia… Refugee Fleet Is Headed For Europe, For France…

The last three headlines, however, are ripped not from today’s papers, but from the pages of a controversial 1973 French novel by Jean Raspail, which many say has predicted with shocking accuracy the events unfolding today.

QOTD: "In fact, killing babies and selling their body parts is officially supported by the Democratic Party. We know this because of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which has passed the House. The Act declares that “If an abortion results in the live birth of an infant, the infant is a legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States, and entitled to all the protections of such laws.” It makes it a crime to kill a baby that has been born alive in the course of an attempted abortion–which, I take it, would include situations, as described in the Planned Parenthood videos, where the abortion appointment comes too late, and the baby is born in the normal course before he or she can be aborted...

...[In stating he will veto this bill,] Barack Obama is officially in favor of killing babies that are born alive, and selling their organs...

...For many years, I wrote nothing about abortion, never having taken much interest in the issue. But the Planned Parenthood videos have been an eye-opener, for me as for many others. I had no idea that such corruption is not only being permitted, but is financed by a half billion taxpayer dollars. If the Democrats, hungry to profit a few measly dollars from the sale of body parts, can’t draw the line at murdering babies who are born alive, they are far sicker than I realized. Let’s get the House bill through the Senate, and let Obama fulfill his threat to veto it. That will make for an interesting Rose Garden press conference." --

LATEST FOX NEWS POLL: True GOP Outsiders Trump, Carson, and Cruz Top 50% for the First Time

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but the trio of outside-the-establishment GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz now command 52% of the Republican primary vote versus 23% in June, an increase of 29%.


Conversely -- during the same period -- the hand-picked stooges candidates of the feckless, bumbling, and cowardly* GOP establishment (The Last Refuge dubs them the "GOPe's splitters", an entire chorus line of faux candidates designed to fragment support for a grassroots candidate -- and to deliver the nomination to Jeb!), have dropped from an aggregate support level of 63% to 40% (a startling drop of 23%).

The world's worst political consultant (you may know him as Karl Rove, who we last saw setting fire to a few hundred million dollars in 2012 with nothing to show for it) has a new strategy to resurrect Jeb!. Barring a tear in the space-time continuum, Rove will be just as successful with this scheme as he was in 2012.

THE PLOT: Obama to Import 200,000 MORE Muslim Refugees

By C.S.

In addition to the 3,000,000 Muslims imported since 9/11, Barack Obama intends to open the floodgates to mass immigration for Muslims, including unvetted individuals affiliated with terror groups. Virtually every one of these aliens will immediately get thousands of U.S. taxpayer dollars in welfare and medical benefits each year for up to nine years – and likely much longer.

Yesterday, Sen. Jeff Sessions ripped Obama's scheme to resettle 200,000 additional Muslims in the United States:

The Obama administration’s plan to resettle nearly 200,000 refugees in the U.S. over the next two years will have real fiscal and national security implications at a time when the U.S. has taken in more migrants than any other country, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) says.

“The U.S. has already taken in four times more immigrants than any other nation on Earth. Our foreign-born population share is set to break every known historical record,” Sessions, Chairman of the Senate’s Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, says in making the case against increasing the number of refugees resettled in the U.S.

WONDERFUL: Marco Rubio Still Promoting Welfare And Full Citizenship For Illegal Aliens

By Jessica Hahn

As record numbers of Muslim migrants enter the United States, and as a surge of Central Americans swamps our southern border, GOP presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is using his presidential campaign to promote citizenship for those who come here illegally and take American jobs, benefits and residency.

In a September 21 interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Rubio said that within 10 or 12 years — which would be after the U.S. foreign-born population has swelled above 51 million on current trends — “you could have a broader debate about how has this worked out and should we allow some of them [the illegal foreign-born] to apply for green cards and eventually citizenship.”

In a quote provided yesterday to New York Magazine, Rubio’s spokesman made clear that Rubio’s position on citizenship for illegals has not changed since he worked with President Obama and Senator Schumer on the “Gang of Eight Bill.”

Rubio’s spokesman declared: “Marco has repeatedly stated — and did so again last night — that he is open to green cards after 10 years.”
