Obama to Clinton: Passing the Torch of TreacheryBy Jeremiah Johnson The Obama Administration has been characterized by not only a lack of transparency on issues that surface, but a deliberate obfuscation to mask true actions and intentions. There are literally no limits to what the man and his handlers will do outside of the law to attain their ends, while simultaneously “crafting” legislation to enslave the citizenry. The fawning, lying press trumpets his victories and quietly spins his defeats: objectivity cannot be maintained by journalists on the government payroll and command. Hence a sitting American president, a man who should have been hauled off of a stage in ...

“Millions of Americans are not being represented by either of these candidates,” wrote CIA vet Evan McMullin in announcing his candidacy. Evan McMullin, a CIA veteran and chief policy director of the House Republican conference, announced Monday that he’s launching an independent presidential bid.“Like millions of Americans, I had hoped this year would bring us better nominees who, despite party differences, could offer compelling visions of a better future,” McMullin wrote in a statement on his campaign website. “Instead, we have been left with two candidates who are fundamentally unfit for the profound responsibilities they seek.”BuzzFeed News first ...

Washington, D.C. – The trail of bodies that follows the Clinton machine continues to pile up. Even during Hillary’s run for the White House, as in just the past two few days, two notable anti-Clinton activists have died under mysterious circumstances.Renowned anti-Clinton researcher and writer for American Free Press (AFP), Victor Thorn, whose birth name was Scott Robert Makufka, was found dead from a gunshot wound near his home on August 1. It was his birthday, and he would have been 54-years-old. When questioned about Thorn’s death, State College, Pennsylvania police told AFP that “something happened” but refused to confirm even the victim’s identity. ...
Clinton acknowledges trust issues, blames them on GOP

Hillary Clinton acknowledged Friday the challenge she'd face leading a country where most Americans don't trust her, saying she takes "seriously" the work she must do to build confidence in her character. But the Democratic presidential nominee also claimed that a broad electoral victory over Donald Trump in November would give her the capital needed to push her plans through Congress with Republican support and appeared to blame her political opponents for her low approval ratings. Clinton pointed to the high ratings she won as secretary of state and as a senator from New York, arguing that voters like her more when she's working than when she's campaigning ...
The Latest: Trump finally endorses House Speaker Paul Ryan

The Latest on the 2016 presidential campaign (all times EDT): 8:25 p.m. Donald Trump has formally endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan, after saying he wasn't ready to do so earlier this week. Trump made the announcement during a campaign stop Friday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He says, "I support and endorse our Speaker of the House Paul Ryan," adding that while they "may disagree on a couple of things," they agree on a lot as well. The timing is unusual. The rally is being held on a Friday night opposite the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. In an interview earlier this week, Trump said he was "not quite there yet" when it came to endorsing Ryan in his ...
How Wisconsin Democrats Can End Paul Ryan’s Career — Next Week!

On Tuesday, August 9, there's a primary for the seat held by Paul Ryan, the House Speaker. It's in the news -- Ryan is being challenged in the Republican primary by a hitherto little-known businessman, Paul Nehlen. There's also a contested primary on the Democratic side. On Tuesday, Donald Trump pointedly refused to endorse Ryan, which doesn't necessarily reflect any Ryan weakness in the district (more like Trump and Ryan's irreconcilable differences.) But Ryan was vulnerable before, and he's more vulnerable now.That's where Wisconsin Democrats come in: Wisconsin's open primary tradition means you can vote in Ryan's primary -- which gives you, through a ...

The Lesser of Two Evils

Apparently, our friend P.J. O’Rourke is back, to the extent that he ever left, and last night I heard that he dislikes Donald Trump so intensely—P.J. called him a “flying monkey”—that he’s going to vote for the Deathcamp Dolly, instead. I could speculate about what brought P.J. to this unspeakable lapse in judgment, but instead, I want to bring an unprecedented sense of proportion to the concept of voting for “the lesser of two evils.” If Donald Trump is a bad guy—and, given his sticky-fingered habits with other people’s real estate, I have no doubt whatever that he is, at more levels than one—then comparing the New York Mercantilist ...
US Marine and Navy Vet Sends HARDCORE Letter To Muslim Father Who Slammed Trump

Khizr Khan, the father of Captain Humayun Khan who was killed in Iraq in 2004, gave a speech at the Democrat National Convention last week where he slammed GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. In response, U.S. Marine and Navy veteran Chris Mark wrote an incredible letter that dismantled Khan’s charge that Trump has “sacrificed nothing and no one,” among other brilliant points. The letter is included below in it’s entirety and it is, undoubtedly, a must read: “Dear Mr. Khan, I want to preface this letter by stating that I respect your son’s sacrifice for this great nation. By all accounts, he is a true hero that sacrificed himself in service to our ...
In blow to GOP unity, Trump refuses to back Ryan, McCain

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Tuesday that he is refusing to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen. John McCain just two weeks after pledging to bring the fractured GOP together at the party's nominating convention. He also ripped into New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte in the same interview with the Washington Post. All three have primary challengers, and all three disapproved of Trump's criticism of the Muslim American parents of an Army captain killed in Iraq. Trump's refutation of Ryan, the nation's most senior elected Republican, carried particular derision. "I'm just not there yet," Trump said in the interview. Those are very close to ...
US Election Shocker: Is This How The Vote Will Be Rigged?

Votes are being counted as fractions instead of as whole numbers. As we know, there are a number of ways to rig an election. Bev Harris, at blackboxvoting.org, is exploring a specific “cheat sheet” that has vast implications for the Trump vs. Hillary contest. It’s a vote-counting system called GEMS. I urge you to dive into her multi-part series, Fraction Magic (Part-1 here). Here are key Harris quotes. They’re all shockers: “Our testing [of GEMS] shows that one vote can be counted 25 times, another only one one-thousandth of a time, effectively converting some votes to zero.” “This report summarizes the results of our review of the GEMS election management ...
No One Can Stop Her… And She Knows It: “This Election Won’t Be Fair”

To the left, a shot from Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator; to the right, Hillary’s acceptance speech was a carefully scripted triumph over the democratic process… as demonstrated by her playing with the balloons like the world is her toy. In a fair election, my best estimate is that Donald Trump would win in a landslide. But this election will not be fair. In fact, few of them are. For Trump’s part, there is no doubt that he has been this year’s sensation. A newcomer to politics, he has thrown out all the conventional rules, played by his own, and found a captivated country hanging onto his every word. Love him, hate him, or somewhere in between… no one can ...

“We’ve got to face it. Politics have entered a new stage, the television stage. Instead of long-winded public debates, the people want capsule slogans—‘Time for a change’—‘The mess in Washington’—‘More bang for a buck’—punch lines and glamour.”— A Face in the Crowd (1957) Politics is entertainment. It is a heavily scripted, tightly choreographed, star-studded, ratings-driven, mass-marketed, a costly exercise in how to sell a product—in this case, a presidential candidate—to dazzled consumers who will choose image over substance almost every time. This year’s presidential election, much like every ...

Remarks as prepared for delivery combine statist policies with Great Man fantasyRepublican presidential nominee Donald Trump is giving a speech tonight, and Politico has obtained an advance copy. It's a familiar stew of Great Man Theory, protectionism writ large, and supporting our troops/cops, but on a night when millions of Americans may be focusing on Trump for the first time, here are seven* lines that drip with alarming levels of authoritarianism: 1) "I am not going to let companies move to other countries, firing their employees along the way, without consequences." Note: Freedom of movement, and freedom of businesses to fail, has long been intrinsic to the American ...

CLEVELAND — Texas Senator Ted Cruz was denied entry into billionaire GOP donor Sheldon Adleson’s suite following his speech at the Republican National Convention Wednesday night, Independent Journal Review has confirmed. A former U.S. Senator inside the Adelson’s luxury box at the Quicken Loans arena told Independent Journal Review that Cruz approached the suite after he finished his speech that fell short of endorsing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Cruz was not welcome in the suite “because he’s a piece of sh*t,” the Senator said. Cruz was stopped at the door because several attendees inside the suite were furious ...
Trump Planning To Just Let Mike Pence Run The Country

Trump plans to saddle his veep with most of the duties of being president. Because why not? Anyone looking to tune in to the Republican National Convention this week to hear from the man the GOP is seeking to send to Washington to run the country needs to adjust their DVRs, because that speech won’t be given by Republican presidential nominee and apocalyptic circus peanut Donald Trump on Thursday. Rather, it will be given by the party’s vice-presidential nominee, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, on Wednesday night. So what gives? Well, it’s not entirely surprising. See, Trump has, throughout his campaign, made it clear that he believes that being president is a really easy job ...
"Why do Republicans Respect Marijuana Prohibition Like it Came From Moses?" [Full Thread]

"Bad law needs to be dealt with, we don't need to follow it blindly," says 86-year-old Ann Lee, the founder and executive director of Republicans Against Marijuana Prohibition (RAMP). In an interview with Reason at a Cleveland hotel near the Republican National Convention (RNC), Lee adds, "The mystery to me is why Republicans respect this law like it came from Moses, and when you read how it came about in 1937 under FDR...why Republicans support that is beyond me." Lee is a staunch pro-life social conservative who had her come-to-Jesus moment in when it came to marijuana prohibition after her son suffered a devastating accident in 1990. While recovering, he ...
In Cleveland, sea of white reflects GOP's math problem

After Mitt Romney lost the 2012 presidential election, Republican Party heavyweights uniformly agreed that white voters alone do not hold the keys to winning the White House. Yet in 2016, another overwhelmingly white gathering of Republican convention delegates - the makeup clear on television images or a walk through the Quicken Loans Arena floor - has nominated an all-white male ticket: businessman Donald Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. Trump leaned almost exclusively on white voters to win the nomination and, in the process, alienated swaths of minorities with his push for a border wall to stop illegal immigration, calls for a "deportation force" and proposals to ban ...
