Things To Think About 2

Would you give to a so-called charity that only distributes 5.7% of what it takes in for charitable causes?  That was the Clinton Foundation's record in 2014.  Quote: "Just 5.7 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s massive 2014 budget actually went to charitable grants, according to the tax-exempt organization’s IRS filings. The rest went to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and “other expenses.”  The Clinton Foundation spent a hair under $91.3 million in 2014, the organization’s IRS filings show. But less than $5.2 million of that went to charitable grants.  That number pales in comparison to the $34.8 million the foundation spent on salaries, compensation and employee benefits.  Another $50.4 million was marked as “other expenses,” while the remaining almost $851K was marked as “professional fundraising expenses.”     http://dailycaller.com/2016/09/16/just-5-7-percent-of-clinton-foundation-budget-actually-went-to-charity/

The mystery surrounding Obama's birthplace is getting more curious all the time.  She will, of course, deny it but it was her 2008 campaign that made the whole thing a public debate.  Her denial will not wash.  Quote: "David Goldstein of McClatchy reports on two supporters of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 primary campaign against Barack Obama who pushed the false “birther” narrative that Obama was born in Kenya. One of the supporters was Clinton’s longtime confidant Sidney Blumenthal who pitched the story to McClatchy’s former Washington Bureau Chief James Asher."   http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/09/16/former-mcclatchy-editor-assigned-reporter-go-kenya-clinton-operative-urged-birther-investigation/   BUT, BUT, BUT the real source of this whole issue was Obama himself.  Hillary just publicized his own words.    http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/who-was-the-first-birther/    Is the matter clear now????   And this is the media's response to Hillary's action?  "So What!"    http://www.dailywire.com/news/9254/corrupt-medias-defense-hillarys-birtherism-reduced-john-nolte?

Obama's propensity to disobey or skirt the law is well established.  If this turns out to be true here is a horrific example you will not like.  Quote: "A member of the House Intelligence Committee is accusing the Obama administration of laundering some $1.7 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Iran through a complicated network that included the New York Federal Reserve and several European banks, according to conversations with sources and new information obtained by the lawmaker and viewed by the Washington Free Beacon.  New disclosures made by the Treasury Department to Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.), a House Intelligence Committee member, show that an initial $400 million cash payment to Iran was wired to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and then converted from U.S. dollars into Swiss francs and moved to an account at the Swiss National Bank, according to a copy of communication obtained exclusively by the Free Beacon.  Once the money was transferred to the Swiss Bank, the “FRBNY withdrew the funds from its account as Swiss franc banknotes and the U.S. Government physically transported them to Geneva” before personally overseeing the handover to an agent of Iran’s central bank, according to the documents.  These disclosures shine new light on how the Obama administration moved millions of dollars from U.S. accounts to European banks in order to facilitate three separate cash payments to Iran totaling $1.7 billion.  The latest information is adding fuel to accusations the Obama administration arranged the payment in this fashion to skirt U.S. sanctions laws and give Iran the money for the release of U.S. hostages, in what many have called a ransom."    http://freebeacon.com/national-security/obama-admin-laundered-u-s-cash-iran-via-n-y-fed-euro-banks/?

This black American has little regard for Obama, Hillary or the Congressional Black Caucus.  Quote: "Democrats know the primary problem in the black community is the breakdown of the family, but they won’t publicly admit this because they don’t want to lose the black vote. Instead, they blame “racism” to keep blacks angry – thereby controlling them to maintain power.  The Congressional Black Caucus, Obama and Hillary are only out to protect their own power and wealth. It’s time to unmask these vipers and break their stranglehold on the black vote."  And, "In fact, it’s Obama who’s shown no regard for working people. Obama will go down as the most despised and the worst president in American history. Every key economic indicator shows that blacks are far worse off under Obama than under any other recent president. In his hometown of Chicago, black-on-black shootings have surged to over 3,000 (surpassing last year’s 2,980 figure), and all Obama can do is blame guns!  As for Hillary, she’s Obama in a dress. Democrats have nothing meaningful to offer blacks, so they make up lies and talk about “racism” to try and scare blacks to vote against Republicans, but it’s not going to work this time.   http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/congressional-black-caucus-a-den-of-vipers/

Another past item dealt with the alt-left and alt-right.  This item furthers that conversation.    http://townhall.com/columnists/katiekieffer/2016/09/19/meet-the-altleft-n2220273?

Many of Obama's illegal executive orders have/will cost innocent Americans a bundle of money.  Quote: "The Washington Free Beacon reported yesterday that just nine executive orders from President Obama cost the American taxpayers $31 billion. An order creating a new repayment plan for student loans, for example, will cost $15.4 billion. Delaying the employer health mandate under Obamacare cost taxpayers $12 billion, and changing cost sharing provisions for Obamacare insurers cost $3 billion. New overtime rules will cost hundreds of millions, and additional background checks for firearms transfers will cost $5.5 million."     http://www.conventionofstates.com/congress_power_of_the_purse_president_holds_strings?

If these allegation prove to be true, we all should be disgusted.   http://investmentwatchblog.com/new-dnc-leaks-blow-hillarys-health-and-obamas-corruption-wide-open-jimmy-fallon-dons-surgical-mask-to-greet-sick-hillary/   Another unethical thing and it negatively affects small donors to her campaign and it is no accident.   Quote: "The fraud specialist says that each complaint follows the same pattern –  a donor believes they’re making a small, one-time donation to the campaign, only to find out they’ve been charged multiple times. Those charges never amount to more than $100 in total, avoiding extra scrutiny from the banks.  He charged, “she’s (Clinton) stealing from her poorest supporters.”  The bank specialist said similar tactics are used by porn companies which, with Bill’s history, is probably where the Clintons learned the tactic.  Sound like the whole thing might just be a misunderstanding? Think again.  During Clinton’s 2007 campaign for president, the New York Times reported that Hillary’s camp “had to subtract hundreds of thousands of dollars from its first-quarter total because of a variety of problems, including donors whose credit cards were mistakenly charged twice.”   http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/hillary-fraud-clinton-campaign-stealing-from-her-poorest-donors/

An interesting assessment of the two main presidential candidates and their respective lies.   http://townhall.com/columnists/johncgoodman/2016/09/18/lies-lies-and-more-lies-n2219871? 


This is about Obama and his global warming gambit.    http://personalliberty.com/climate-change-boondoggle/


Retired General and former Secretary of State Colin Powell opens up another door detrimental to Hillary's quest for the White House.  Check out this piece.   http://spectator.org/colin-powells-worst-insult-of-all/  more here.    http://www.themadpatriots.com/freedom-news/colin-powell-slams-hillarys-mafia-in-leaked-emails/

Trump is absolutely right about Hillary's characterization of him and many of those who support him.  She is obviously frantic that he is even with or ahead of her in the polls.  Quote: "She calls the patriotic Americans who support our campaign, many of whom cops and soldiers, ‘deplorable’ and ‘irredeemable’ and she means it. Has she ever talked that way about radical Islam? No. Or about those who oppose and murder women and gays overseas?" Trump said during a Monday rally in Fort Meyers, Fla.   "Let’s ask Hillary Clinton—how many people who subscribe to radical Islamic views and support the oppression of non-believers would you call 'deplorable' or 'irredeemable.' Or are those words reserved only for hardworking Americans who love our country and want to make a statement?”   He went onto connect the recent bombings in New York and New Jersey for a failure of America's immigration system, embodied by Clinton and President Obama."   http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/296690-trump-clinton-has-harsher-words-for-trump-supporters-than 

Hillary needs to be careful what she says.  Her charge that Trump is inciting terrorism could backfire. Quote: "The kind of language and rhetoric Trump has used is giving comfort to our adversaries,” Clinton said.  The Trump campaign quickly fired back, calling Clinton’s remarks “beyond the pale” and “an attempt to distract from her horrible record on ISIS.”  Trump communications adviser Jason Miller accused Clinton of supporting policies that led directly to the rise of ISIS.  “If Clinton really wants to find the real cause of ISIS, she needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror,” Miller said. “The decision to remove all American troops from Iraq in 2011, which was vigorously supported by Clinton, created the vacuum that led to the founding of ISIS. Nothing she says or does can ever un-ring that bell. The only thing we can expect from a Hillary Clinton presidency is more attacks on our homeland and more innocent Americans being hurt and killed.”
