BOOM: Huge New Developments in Clinton Email Scandal

By Abdul X. Abercrombie

Two extremely significant stories broke today in The Washington Post and The New York Times regarding the FBI's investigation into the Hillary Clinton email scandal. The deep-fat fryer is just heating up. Both stories are excerpted below, but here are the key new pieces of information:

• Bryan Pagliano, the IT employee who set up Clinton’s server and pled the 5th to avoid cooperating with investigators was granted immunity for cooperating.

• What the Clinton campaign has called a “security review,” but according to both reports, the FBI investigation has become criminal in nature. One official told The Post “There was wrongdoing.”

AWESOME: Obamacare has Blue Cross Singing the Blues

By Investors Business Daily

Health Care: The insurance industry must be kicking itself for backing ObamaCare. Several have since posted big losses and it looks like Blue Cross Blue Shield got the losing end of the stick, too.

Fitch Ratings looked at nearly three dozen BCBS companies and found that 23 saw a decline in earnings that totaled $1.9 billion in the first nine months of last year, while 16 had net losses.

DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP SUCCESS STORY #70 BAJILLION: 30 Blocks of Ya Gotta See It to Believe It

By Jim Quinn

I got frustrated Monday morning on the Schuylkill Expressway when traffic ground to a halt just before City Line Avenue. I impulsively got off at City Line Avenue and traveled up to Belmont Ave. I took Belmont through Fairmount Park (where dead bodies are found on a regular basis) to Girard Avenue. After making the left on Girard, you enter a land time forgot, along with hammers, brooms, paint brushes, trash cans, marriage licenses, school books or condoms. This stretch of West Philly makes the area around the zoo seem like paradise.

The vacant, trash strewn, weed infested lots along this decaying stretch of squalor are the highlight of the trip. There are a couple bars, nail salons, and daycare centers (can you imagine the “care” the children receive). But for the most part it’s unadulterated ghetto, with garbage blowing along the ancient trolley tracks like sage brush in the old west.

Marco Rubio Has a Second Amendment Problem

By Tim Macy

When Marco Rubio was a local commissioner in Florida in 1999, he voted to ban guns from local parks.

Now, politicians make mistakes. And honest politicians “fess up” and move on.

Rubio's problem is that, when Senator Ted Cruz called attention to Rubio's anti-gun vote, Marco’s response was to call Cruz a “liar.” This was part of a larger narrative in which Donald Trump and Rubio were hurling “pants on fire” insults at Cruz.

But when Rubio disavowed his 1999 anti-gun vote -- falsely accusing Ted Cruz of Rubio's own sins -- he made a serious mistake.

QOTD: "Donald Trump comes out of Super Tuesday with the clearest path to the Republican presidential nomination, but the complicated delegate math suggests there's still a decent chance of denying him the delegates needed to become the GOP standard bearer.

To be sure, unless the race changes dramatically, it's very unlikely that Sens. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Gov. John Kasich or Ben Carson could win the nomination outright. This means that the most plausible path for beating Trump involves a contested convention in which the primaries end without any candidate having secured the required majority of delegates. At a convention, after the first or second round of voting, most delegates become unbound and can vote for any candidate – and it doesn't have to be anybody from the current field of contenders.

But that path largely hinges on Trump losing both Kasich's Ohio and Rubio's Florida. Were that to happen, not only would it become more difficult to rack up and the field remaining crowded enough to prevent Trump from racking up big delegate victory margins." --Philip Klein

SPLORT: Hillary Caught Raising Money From Ex-NRA Lobbyist

By Walid Maktoub

What do hedge fund managers, companies engaging in corporate inversions, and the NRA all have in common? Hillary Clinton publicly bashes them on the campaign trail while taking money from them or their associates in private. It’s all another reminder that double standards are the standard for Hillary Clinton’s campaign and that she will do or say anything to get elected.

Top 11 Emails From The Final Batch Of Clinton’s Private Server Emails

By America Rising

Today the last batch of Clinton emails from her illicit, private server were released by the State Department. Of the 1,723 released today, 261 were found to contain classified information. Those 261 new classified emails brings the final tally to an astounding 2,079 emails held on Clinton’s unsecure server that now are said to contain classified information. In the 261 classified emails, 19 contained “secret” information. That also means that this batch includes the largest number of secret emails in any tranche.

CONFIRMED: : Obama Sent Weapons to Muslim Terrorists in Benghazi

By Daniel Greenfield

One of the few interesting items in the New York Times' whitewash of Hillary and Obama's illegal Libyan war is the confirmation of weapons shipments.

Obama ultimately took her side, according to the administration officials who described the debate. After he signed a secret document called a presidential finding, approving a covert operation, a list of approved weaponry was drawn up. The shipments arranged by the United States and other Western countries generally arrived through the port of Benghazi and airports in eastern Libya, a Libyan rebel commander said.

Congressmen Have No Idea Why Special Operators Have To Pay Out Of Pocket For Basic Gear

By Jonah Bennett

For reasons still unclear, elite special operators are often let down by their respective services and have to pay out of pocket for the most basic gear.

Private military suppliers have started to notice this phenomenon. During a panel discussion on Capitol Hill Thursday, heads of supply companies met with Congress to discuss the shortages and raise the issue with Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, Stars and Stripes reports.

THE NEW CALIFORNIA CRIME WAVE: Democrat Success Story #78,012

By John Perazzo

Something amazing has happened in California. First, a brief background: Crime rates across the state, after a long period of steady decline, had reached fifty-year lows in 2014. Then, that November, a 60 percent majority of California voters—presumably incapable of accepting such good news without a measure of collective guilt—decided that it would be a really enlightened idea to pass Proposition 47, a ballot initiative bearing the cheery name “The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act.” The purpose of this measure was to downgrade many types of drug possession and property crimes from felonies (punishable by more than a year in prison) to misdemeanors (which often entail no prison time at all). For the benefit of squeamish skeptics, the self-assured proponents of Prop 47 condescended to explain that these reduced penalties would not only alleviate prison overcrowding, but would also make California's streets safer by placing drug offenders into warm-and-fuzzy treatment and counseling programs, rather than into disagreeable prison cells. If you think this sounds like a familiar old tune, you're quite correct. It was #1 on the left-wing hit parade throughout the 1960s, when it became the theme song of skyrocketing crime rates across the United States. And now the Golden Oldie is back, in the Golden State.

QOTD: "Obama issues a new initiative—and the nation snoozes. He wastes the day on the golf links—and the nation snoozes. He smears his critics, invites a rapper to the White House whose latest album cover has a dead white judge lying in front of the White House—and the nation snoozes. He cozies up to America’s enemies and snubs our friends—and the nation snoozes. For the nth time, he blusters about closing down Guantanamo—and the nation snoozes. He opens the border even wider to welcome in more illegal aliens and future constituents—and the nation snoozes. Lame duckestry means not even being able to wake up your opponents.

There is so far no Obama legacy, except the creation of Donald Trump, a $20 trillion debt and zero interest rates—and the gift of flat energy prices that came despite not because of Obama’s efforts. Almost every major bureaucracy is awash in scandal or charges of incompetence. The common theme of the disasters at the GSA, EPA, ICE, IRS, NASA, Secret Service, and VA is ideological subversion and ingrained hostility to meritocracy.

DISPLACED DISNEY WORKERS: Shame on You, Marco Rubio

By Julia Hahn

At Donald Trump’s Sunday rally at Madison City Stadium, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)’s own constituents—two displaced Disney workers—publicly denounced Rubio for prioritizing the interests of his big business donors over the interests of his own constituents.

Dena Moore and Leo Perrero were two Disney workers who were informed that they were going to be laid off during the holiday season of 2014. They—along with scores of their colleagues—were told that before they were let go, they’d be forced to train their low-skilled foreign replacements brought in on H-1B visas. Earlier this week, Perrero testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the humiliation he was forced to endure by training his foreign replacement. While Donald Trump has called on Disney to hire back all of these workers and has pledged to end H-1B job theft as President, Sen. Marco Rubio has pushed to expand the controversial H-1B program—he has introduced two bills that would dramatically boost the issuances of H-1Bs. As recently as last year, Rubio introduced a bill—endorsed by Disney’s CEO Bob Iger via his immigration lobbying firm—that would triple the issuances of H-1Bs. Disney is one of Sen. Rubio’s top financial backers—having donated more than $2 million according to Open Secrets.

LETTER FROM A READER: A Cruz-Rubio Ticket

Dear Influential Conservative Blogger [Ed.: Heh.],

Perhaps the best chance we have for the Presidential election 2016 is not Donald Trump, but rather a ticket with Ted Cruz for President and Marco Rubio for Vice President. I believe their combined poll ratings are higher than those of Trump.

Ted Cruz for President can be contacted at https://www.tedcruz.org/contact/.

The campaign's phone number is 713-353-4330.

If Ted Cruz is still in the race after Super Tuesday, but has not yet made Rubio his running mate, his campaign can be reached by snail mail at:

Flush with Obama cash, Iran awards financial grants to families of Palestinian terrorists

By The Tower

Iran will pay $7,000 to the families of Palestinian terrorists who were killed while carrying out attacks, and $30,000 to families of terrorists whose houses were demolished by Israel, the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon announced on Wednesday.

“The decision firstly includes giving an amount worth $7,000 to every family of a martyr of the intifada in Jerusalem,” said ambassador Mohammad Fathali during a Beirut press conference.

CATACLYSM: 30 Blocks of Democrat Governance

By Jim Quinn

“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.” – H.L. Mencken, Notes on Democracy

I’ve written dozens of articles about the 30 Blocks of Squalor over the years. The 30 blocks are essentially from 69th Street to 39th Street encompassing the wretched potholed route from unsafe Upper Darby through the killing fields of West Philly. The fine union government workers in the Streets Department have consistently maintained Chestnut Street in a constant state of disrepair. Not that drivers notice.

QOTD: "I've spent the last fortnight in a country where on illegal immigration everyone electorally viable is a hard-ass. That's to say, there's a bipartisan consensus that anyone attempting to enter the country without authorization should be warehoused in a detention camp – not in Australia but offshore, either on Nauru, a pile of guano that fancies itself a nation-state, or on Manos Island, which belongs to Papua New Guinea. It's the equivalent of Trump imprisoning Mexicans in a camp in the Dominican Republic. After years in detention, the migrants are generally either returned whence they came or resettled in a third country. Whatever squeamishness the Aussie Labor Party might feel about this is subject to the compelling political arithmetic that the voters are overwhelmingly at ease with it.

In America, by contrast, there is a cozy bipartisan consensus between the Democrat Party and the Donor Party that untrammeled mass unskilled immigration now and forever is a good thing. The Dems get voters, the Donors get cheap labor. The Dems have the better deal, but over on the GOP side the Stupid Party is too stupid to realize that suicide in slow motion leads to the same place as one swift sure slice from Isis.

So it was obvious that the moment someone proposed to rupture this corrupt and squalid arrangement that there would be takers for it – particularly among America's downwardly mobile lower middle class who, as a price for supporting the Donor Party, are supposed to put up with stagnant wages and diminished economic opportunity as a permanent feature of life. " --Mark Steyn
