QOTD: "[Leaked emails between former secretary of state Colin Powell and business partner Jeffrey Leeds] reveal the two agreed on Clinton's poor health as far back as March 2015, with Leeds even suggesting he had learned of the issue from a Democratic senator. "On HD tv she doesn't look good," Powell wrote in one message. "She is working herself to death ... She will turn 70 her first year in office."
Leeds replied twelve minutes later. "Sheldon Whitehouse, who is a huge Clinton supporter said they were both giving speeches at the same event a few months back and she could barely climb the podium steps," Leeds wrote, referencing Rhode Island's junior senator." --Rudy Takala
If you listen to the news, the only real reporting being done about Hillary Clinton has to do with her email scandal. Even though she violated the Espionage Act, the FBI refused to prosecute. Her family’s foundation is under heavy scrutiny. But did you know these other important points about Hillary’s life-long run to the White House?
There's no violence here against anyone except animals. It's a surreal sight. Shocking in some ways. And another reminder of just how different Islamic culture is from our civilization.
Huge swathes of animal sacrifices marking the Islamic festival Eid al-Adha turned the streets of Bangladesh's capital into rivers of blood.
Authorities in Dhaka had designated areas in the city where residents could slaughter animals, but heavy downpours Tuesday rendered them out of action.
QOTD: "Mr. Director [Comey], it’s time for you to admit you erred in early July. You’ve got the evidence. Call a press conference. Recommend Hillary Clinton be indicted and, this time, let Attorney General Loretta Lynch make the decision. She’s the prosecutor—not you.
Recommend indictment for three reasons, Mr. Director. First and foremost recommend she face legal consequences because her actions were criminal. Recommend indictment in order to re-establish the integrity of your agency, whose reputation has been tarnished by your cowardly July decision. You know it. You face internal dissent as well as external criticism, and somewhere in your previously mentioned Washington-shrunken-soul you know the dissent and criticism is righteous, hence your prickly little memo.
Finally, sir, do it for the dead, the Americans who died at Benghazi.
If you lack the character and guts to recommend indictment, then resign, sir. Resign." --Austin Bay
Former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can’t remember certain details on her emails and on many issues she remains evasive. On the other hand, for some observers, FBI director James Comey has clarified recent actions in regard to the Democrats’ presidential candidate.
Comey released documents concerning Hillary Clinton’s emails on September 2, the afternoon before the Labor Day weekend, as Paul Ryan observed, the time when they were least likely to command attention. Comey defended the action and told reporters the FBI released the documents when they were ready. Those suggesting the FBI was being “political” or part of “some fix,” he wrote in a memo, “either don’t know us, or they are full of baloney (and maybe some of both).”
The FBI director also said that the decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton was “not a cliff-hanger” and “there really wasn’t a prosecutable case.” Comey referred disparagingly to “all the chest-beating by people no longer in government.” That may be a reference to former Superior Court judge Andrew Napolitano, who described the FBI interview with Clinton as “very troubling.”
Clinton aide Justin Cooper turned heads concerning the Department of State records preservation practices during a hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Cooper is the same aide who also sometimes destroyed Clinton’s BlackBerry phones, “breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer,” the FBI investigative summary report said.
Cooper was a longtime aide of former president Bill Clinton when he helped install Hillary Clinton’s system in 2008 during her first bid for the presidency.
Cooper was the only one witness of four Clinton IT aides or contractors invited to the hearing who both showed up and testified.
Bryan Pagliano, a Clinton IT aide who worked at the State Department and on the Clinton’s personal payroll, defied a congressional subpoena to appear. Bill Thornton and Paul Combetta, the Platte River Networks employees who hosted Clinton’s servers, invoked the Fifth Amendment and told the committee nothing.

When @HillaryClinton went limp & collapsed, no staffer around her looked concerned in the least. This ain't their first rodeo #HillaryHealth

In May 2000, Tim Kaine, then-mayor of Richmond, Va., used more than $6,000 in public funds to charter eight buses. The buses were used to transport city residents from Richmond to the anti-gun, and inaccurately named, Million Mom March in Washington, D.C.
The Million Mom March was sponsored and organized by extremist gun control organization the Bell Campaign, which was later renamed the Million Mom March Foundation. The Bell Campaign supported a litany of gun control measures, including gun rationing, a ban on the possession of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and their magazines, firearm owner licensing, and gun registration. In regards to the right to keep and bear arms, the Bell Campaign contended, “The Second Amendment does not, and never did, protect the private ownership of guns for private purposes.”
Just like during the last economic crisis, homeless encampments are popping up all over the nation as poverty grows at a very alarming rate. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, more than half a million people are homeless in America right now, but that figure is increasing by the day. And it isn’t just adults that we are talking about. It has been reported that that the number of homeless children in this country has risen by 60 percent since the last recession, and Poverty USA says that a total of 1.6 million children slept either in a homeless shelter or in some other form of emergency housing at some point last year. Yes, the stock market may have been experiencing a temporary boom for the last couple of years, but for those on the low end of the economic scale things have just continued to deteriorate.
QOTD: "What if Hillary Clinton can’t run? It’s a question that must be asked, even if the New York Times and much of the American mainstream media are unwilling to ask it. Clinton’s collapse – or ‘medical episode’ – during a 9/11 memorial service today does bring the issue of her health to everybody’s attention.
Americans will be asking themselves how, if she can’t make it through a memorial service, she will cope with the rigours of four years as Commander-in-chief. Moreover, the conspiracy of silence surrounding her health troubles does add to the general idea that the media and the Washington elite are willing to cover up, to mislead the public in order to win an election. This will feed Trumpmania and excite the growing part of the electorate who feel the whole damn system is rigged.
The whispers about her ill-health have long amounted to more than just malicious right-wing gossip. Clinton turns 68 next month and at times during the campaign she has seemed exhausted and unwell. Today’s on-camera collapse looks serious. Ever since her fall and blood clot in her head two years ago, Hillary has shown signs of not being quite right." --Freddy Gray
In short, Hillary is very ill. She can't stand up without supporting herself using railings, stools, tables, chairs, her mysterious Epipen-equipped handler, and -- of course -- Huma Abedin.QOTD:

This comes to us via Zero Hedge, who notes all the media hand-wringing and “just move alongs”:
Concerns about Hillary Clinton’s health are “serious—could be disqualifying for the position of President of the U.S.,” say nearly 71% of 250 physicians responding to an informal internet survey by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). About 20% said concerns were “likely overblown, but should be addressed as by full release of medical records.” Only 2.7% responded that they were “just a political attack; I have confidence in the letter from her physician and see no cause for concern.”
The sad thing is half the country is just fine with this. Hillary could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and it wouldn’t matter.
Her arrogance is why she had a personal server and continues to lie about it. The American people are beneath her.
QOTD: "[A Politico] story notes the irony of [George] Soros, who opposes Citizens United because it allows too much big money in politics, spending [$25 million] supporting Hillary. A source close to Soros says he once called it ‘odious’ that billionaires like himself had so much influence and cited that feeling as a reason to pull back on giving after 2004.
But all of that seems out this window this election cycle. Now Soros is spending freely even as he donates the legal maximum ($5,000) to a group called End Citizens United. He’s really against this sort of money in politics and so is Hillary, just not right this moment." --John Sexton
Even The Washington Post noted there were "no questions about her emails," Topic A of the news cycle. Clinton's reckless mishandling of classified material — reinforced by her 39 memory "lapses" in her FBI interview — should disqualify her from office. And Americans get it.
The media elites are in a panic. They witnessed the meltdown of their candidate in broad daylight and can feel that shiver up their spine — except that this time, it is not the delight of victory they are feeling, but the dread of defeat.
Millard Fillmore was born in a log cabin in upstate New York. Fifty years later, he took office as the thirteenth president of the United States. Around that time he sold off a piece of land. That land became the neighborhood of Lovejoy in the city of Buffalo.
Lovejoy was named after Sarah Lovejoy who had been killed defending her home during the War of 1812. British forces had assaulted American towns once again by using their Indian allies as a terror weapon. Buffalo, now a major city, was burned to the ground with only four buildings left standing.
Mrs. Lovejoy told her son Henry, a 12-year-old boy who shouldered a musket too heavy for him to bear, to flee into the woods. She stayed behind. When the savages invaded her home, she tried to defend herself.
QOTD: "She [Clinton] put the country, and I mean the entire country, at risk to cover up her pay-for-play scandals as secretary of State. These include scandals of giving uranium to Russia, doing favors for UBS bank, and selling contracts to friends and family in Haiti. It’s all about hiding criminal enterprise.
...As part of her criminal cover-up ... Hillary Clinton’s staff deleted and digitally bleached, which is acid clean, her emails after receiving a Congressional subpoena, that’s after receiving, not before. She gets a subpoena from the U.S. Congress and she deletes and bleaches. She also and her staff destroyed some of her 13 phones, but this time with a hammer...
...She was interviewed by the FBI. She claimed she couldn’t remember important events 39 times. She couldn’t remember whether she was trained on handling classified information, didn’t remember anything about it. So if she really didn’t remember, that’s a problem, and if she did remember, that’s a problem. She even said she didn’t know what the letter C stood for." --Donald J. Trump
