[charts at link] U.S. Congress and Its Leaders Suffer Public Discontent by Andrew Dugan August 12, 2015 Gallup WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Now on August recess, members of Congress returning to their districts may receive a skeptical reception from constituents, as 14% of U.S. adults approve of the job Congress is doing, down slightly from 17% in July. These results come from a Gallup poll conducted Aug. 5-9. Congressional leaders can point to a slightly more productive session than was true for the previous two Congresses, such as passing "fast-track authority" -- which grants the president enhanced authority to negotiate free-trade agreements -- as well as the USA Freedom Act, ...
10 Great Minds Who Have Changed The World For The Better With Intelligence Instead Of Politics

Now that election time has come around again, there are droves of well-intentioned, but misguided people who want to put their faith into another politician. Although the popular version of government-approved history tells us that politicians are the ones who create change in this world, this is simply not true. Those who really create change are the innovators, especially those who have the needs of society in mind when they create. When someone uses their intellect to solve social problems, without using the force of the government, they are participating in something called “agorism.” For those who are not familiar with the term “agorism,” it is a strategy of ...

Front-runners Clinton, Trump descend on Iowa State Fair The Associated Press KEN THOMAS and CATHERINE LUCEY Aug 15th 2015 6:26PM1622 DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — As Hillary Rodham Clinton walked among the booths of funnel cakes and corn dogs at the Iowa State Fair, trailed by a massive pack of media and onlookers, Donald Trump's helicopter circled the fairgrounds in the air above. That's as close as Clinton and Trump's massive entourages came at the state fair, a rite of passage for any presidential candidate. The respective Democratic and Republican front-runners each drew large crowds of gawkers as Clinton sampled a pork chop on a stick and Trump gave rides to children on ...

Arriving shortly before 7 p.m. at Winnacunnet High School here in Hampton, New Hampshire, on Friday evening, billionaire Donald Trump—and his entire campaign entourage—whizzed into a classroom-turned-into-press-conference-setup to face a room with more than 40 reporters waiting for him. Trump fielded question after question from reporters throughout the room for more than 20 minutes, detailing his policy viewpoints, bashing his competition and lighting up the permanent political class and ...
“Refugee” In Idaho Convicted Of Terrorism-Related Charges

Idaho was such a boring, white bread state with no culture. It needed vibrant refugees to spice things up. A federal jury in Idaho has convicted an Uzbek refugee of three terrorism- related charges after prosecutors said he worked to support a terrorist organization and gathered explosive materials in his Boise apartment. Fazliddin Kurbanov, a Russian-speaking truck driver who fled Uzbekistan in 2009, was arrested two years ago by federal authorities who said he was determined to carry out an attack on U.S. soil. Prosecutors also said he tried to provide computer support and money to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which the U.S. government has identified as a terrorist organization. ...

There are clear signs that the MSM is preparing to mount a cheerleading campaign for Carly Fiorina in a frantic effort to derail Donald Trump. The equally desperate GOP Establishment is highly likely to sign on, especially given the persistent anti-historic American male bias of Conservatism Inc when it comes to choosing candidates. Last night’s letter A Reader Says To Follow The Fiorina Donor Money was quite right to draw attention the implications of Fiorina’s Cheap Labor Lobby funding Fiorina is their best hope (perhaps even better than Jeb Bush) for increased levels of legal immigration, a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens and a massive increases in imported foreign ...

The Countless Crimes of Hillary Clinton: Special Prosecutor Needed Now Hillary finally hands over her server—after it's been professionally wiped clean By Sidney Powell 08/13/15 4:17pm The Observer After years of holding herself above the law, telling lie after lie, and months of flat-out obstruction, HIllary Clinton has finally produced to the FBI her server and three thumb drives. Apparently, the server has been professionally wiped clean of any useable information, and the thumb drives contain only what she selectively culled. Myriad criminal offenses apply to this conduct. Anyone with knowledge of government workings has known from inception that Hillary’s ...

Hillary Email Scandal Requires A Special Prosecutor IBD Editorial 08/14/2015 06:27 PM ET Investors Business Daily Scandal: The latest revelations that Hillary Clinton's server was wiped clean and that emails stored on it contained top secret information show this breach was no accident. It's time for the appointment of a special prosecutor. Clinton steadfastly refused for months to hand over the "home brew" email server she used as secretary of state. It took an order from a judge last week to get her to do so, even though it was used for government work. But what did she hand over? A server that's been professionally wiped clean, and a thumb drive that had been ...

Fox News Poll: Voters say Clinton lied about emails, put US at risk By Dana Blanton Published August 15, 2015 FoxNews.com Voters think former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flat-out lied about not having classified information on her private email server -- and that she put the United States at risk by mishandling our secrets.

A third says there is “another explanation” for internal government investigators determining secret info was in fact on ...

Hillary’s lame e-mail excuse: The server did it By Jonah Goldberg New York Post August 14, 2015 | 8:48pm It happened sooner than even the doomsayers predicted. The era of artificial intelligence is here. A computer has become self-aware, a moral agent responsible for its own actions. This breakthrough didn’t happen in Silicon Valley or at MIT. It happened, of all places, in Chappaqua, NY. And the person responsible isn’t even a computer scientist, but a lawyer and politician: Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s critics say a lot of things about her, but who would’ve believed she was Skynet’s mother? A little background. Clinton was forced to turn over her ...
Backers fear Clinton hurt by old weaknesses

It was supposed to be different this time. After the wounds of 2008, many of them self-inflicted, Hillary Rodham Clinton rebooted for 2016 with a new message, new advisers and new energy. But two dynamics have crystallized this month, suggesting the New Hillary is hobbled by old weaknesses. Once again, worried supporters see signs of a bunker mentality in response to bad news about her e-mail server and other controversies, and a candidate who can seem strangely blinkered to the threat posed by a lesser-known challenger. “A lot of the people who were hired by the campaign were new to the Clintons,” said a prominent Democrat who counts both Hillary Clinton and former president ...

Republican Donald Trump says he wants to “Make America Great Again” as President — but first, he’s got to make it to jury duty. “Despite running for President and running a massive, multi-billion-dollar company, Mr. Trump will be at jury duty Monday," Alan Garten, general counsel to the Trump Organization, said Friday. A Manhattan judge earlier this year fined The Donald $250 for ignoring five jury summonses since 2006. Trump never showed up, according to aides, because he simply never saw the notices: They went to a building which he owned but did not call home. Manhattan County Clerk Milton Tingling agreed to let Trump report Aug. 17 after his lawyers ...
Insurgents Versus Party Regulars [the two-party system vs. Trump]

To understand why the GOP establishment hates Donald Trump I would recommend all LRC readers examine the works of Walter Karp. He was one of America’s most astute and brilliant essayists. Walter Karp was a genuine Jeffersonian who championed the core values of our Republic against those who would replace it with an empire and an elite oligarchy. Here is a link with excerpts from his 1973 classic, Indispensable Enemies: The Politics of Misrule in America. In these excerpts Karp discusses the foundations of party power, the system of collusion, and party regulars and insurgents. The GOP elite and their corporatist backers (like their mirror counterparts at the ...

Did Fox News president Roger Ailes put her in a time out? 7:08 PM – 12 Aug 2015 Some suggested the sudden vacation announcement was in fact punishment by Fox News execs as part of an agreement they made with Mr. Trump while yet another indicated a belief Kelly was attempting to ...

Clinton Operatives Attempting DOJ Deal In Last-Ditch Effort To Save Campaign? Posted on August 14, 2015 by DCWhispers Reportedly it was a phone call several days earlier from a high-ranking legal representative of the Clinton Machine to the offices of Attorney General Loretta Lynch that set in motion what some are whispering to have been almost “absolute capitulation” on the part of Team Hillary. This was then followed up by representatives from the DNC who are equally desperate to see the ongoing email scandal situation resolved sooner rather than later. Hillary Clinton and her campaign are in very serious trouble. She knows it, they know it, and now the Obama-Jarrett DOJ is ...
David Gilmour on Pink Floyd: 'I'm Done With It'

David Gilmour has confirmed what many of us already knew but didn’t want to believe: Pink Floyd is finished. Only an eternal (foolish) optimistic would have bet on Pink Floyd reuniting for another round. When the veteran British outfit released The Endless River last year, the band's first record since 1994's The Division Bell, Gilmour said it would the band’s last. Now the legendary guitarist has told Classic Rock magazine it’s definitely all over for the prog-rock titans. "I'm done with it. I've had 48 years in Pink Floyd -- quite a few of those years at the beginning, with Roger (Waters)," he says in the music ...

Vice President Biden has little time to decide whether Hillary Clinton’s problems have opened up a lane for his third presidential bid. With less than six months to go before the Iowa caucuses, Biden has to make a decision fast on whether to take on Clinton in what would be a decidedly underdog campaign. ADVERTISEMENT “You can always raise a little more money, you can always recruit a little more volunteers, but you can’t put days back on the calendar,” said Democratic strategist Brad Bannon. “You can’t just throw together a national campaign on the fly, it takes a while.” There’s no doubt that Biden is mulling a run.

(KVUE) Chick-fil-A owner Jeff Glover hugs an employee. A Chick-fil-A owner recently had to shut down his Austin, Texas, restaurant for five months for renovations. Instead of temporarily laying off his 50 workers, Jeff Glover shocked his staff by continuing to pay them during the entire five months the restaurant would be closed, ABC affiliate KVUE reports. Glover even gave them a $1-per-hour raise for sticking with him. Starting pay at Glover's Chick-fil-A is $11 an hour and he pays full-time workers roughly $3,600 a month before taxes, according to KVUE. "It would be a real financial crisis for the 50 families represented by the workers here to have to go five months without a ...

DES MOINES — For five days, the royal-blue bus rumbled through miles of cornfields alongside a popular annual bicycle trek across Iowa. It showed up at a country music concert in Cherokee and at a bacon festival in Ottumwa. And when the hulking vehicle with thick white block letters that spell “TRUMP” pulled into a Wal-Mart parking lot in Fort Dodge this week, people flocked to it. It didn’t matter that Donald Trump wasn’t inside. The bus alone — with the “Make America Great Again!” slogan extending across its sides — created an irresistible oasis of celebrity politics amid a desert of minivans and shopping carts. “One hundred people ...
