Interesting Bits of News 3

The Clinton family just cannot seem to follow common sense, logic or the law.  Quote: "The Clinton family has found themselves in so many scandals that you can’t count them all on two hands. And Chelsea just racked up a new one to add to her family’s “legacy.” But this one could be major enough to bring down her whole family. Following in her mother’s footsteps, Chelsea Clinton is alleged to have put national security at risk in order to hook her “best friend” up with $11 million dollars in defense contracts. And her friend didn’t even have to get a security clearance. Jacqueline Newmyer is the president of a company called the Long Term Strategy Group, who has for over ten years received a number of Defense contracts from a secretive think tank called Office of Net Assessment."   http://www.americanpatriotdaily.com/featured/chelsea-clinton-scandal/   Collectively they just seem not to understand what national security and classified information means.

To my way of thinking what is good for the goose is good for the gander.  https://spectator.org/robert-muellers-tom-price-problem/?

Al Sharpton has long been a part of the political left's race baiting team.  Black commentator David Webb puts him in his place in this interview.  Quote: "Webb himself is a card-carrying member of the well-known gun-advocacy organization, and as he tells Fox’s Stuart Varney, claims of prejudice couldn’t be further from the truth. Sharpton, however, has a long history of race-baiting, beginning with the shameful Tawana Brawley episode in 1987, wherein he presented 15-year-old high-school student Brawley as a young black victim of a horribly degrading attack by three white assailants. At the time of the incident, New Yorkers were aghast at the viciousness and the callousness of the crime (Brawley claimed to have been raped and smeared with excrement). However, as time went on, the truth emerged — Brawley had been lying through her teeth, but Sharpton never apologized."   http://patrioticviralnews.com/articles/black-tv-show-guest-completely-destroys-al-sharpton-over-blm/   Sharpton is a hateful race baiter.

This is typical.  Ugliness is normal behavior for far too many liberals/Democrats whether in politics or not.  What this Democrat executive at CBS said is nothing short of disgusting.  No class whatever.   http://www.libertyheadlines.com/cbs-exec-no-sympathy-country-music-fans-often-republican/?  She got what she deserved.   http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/10/02/cbs-executive-fired-over-shocking-las-vegas-massacre-victim-comments

This Muslim woman is a disgusting human being.  She thinks killing innocent people is legitimate actions for the leftist/socialist fight for their ridiculous view of what they call "social justice".  What they call social justice is really social injustice. This whole leftist meme is a disaster for the human race and dispels any reason to believe Islam is a religion of peace and justice.   http://freebeacon.com/culture/linda-sarsour-social-justice-rally-attendees-ready-put-lives-line/

As usual Patrick Buchanan offers us thoughtful commentary.   https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/10/03/moment-of-unity-in-a-disintegrating-world/

The government run Social Security program is in deep trouble.  Quote: "Put plainly, Social Security is the most important social program for seniors in this country. Without the guaranteed monthly income Social Security provides, poverty levels among seniors would spike from 8.8% to more than 40%, according to a study by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP). That's how important Social Security is. Unfortunately, this financial foundation for seniors is crumbling before our eyes. A recently released report from the Social Security Board of Trustees suggests that in less than two decades' time, the program we know today could undergo major changes, all of which would seem to be bad news for current and future retirees. Should Congress fail to make any changes to Social Security, up to a 23% across-the-board cut in benefits could be headed seniors' way by 2034, per the report."     https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/retirement/2017/10/02/10-stats-that-show-why-social-security-is-broken/106069262/?

This is an interesting piece from The American Spectator chronicling 50 years in the business and along for the ride documenting the multitude of Clinton follies. Quote: "The American Spectator was the right job for me, and frankly I’ve had a ball, so has Wlady, and so have scores of others who have written at The American Spectator and moved on. If Hillary Clinton had taken a job with us she might have greeted every day with a smile on her face, a spring in her step — happy, happy Hillary. But then where would we put her? In the 1960s she interned with communists and contributed to a law review depicting the police as pigs. In the 1970s she dealt in cattle futures and began what would become many long decades of fabricating cover stories for Bill. What is more, she began fabricating stories about herself that have never ended."    https://spectator.org/my-first-fifty-years-from-the-creation-to-the-clintons-final-car-wreck/?

This may seem like piling on but it is not.  It is just that the unethical and unsavory behavior of Obama and his administration keeps getting exposed. Quote: It is no news that Obama used the Internal Revenue Service as a political weapon." And, "... the scope of the abuse was much broader, including one revealing the White House used the IRS to pressure Americans to support Obamacare. “So now we have more evidence of more Obama IRS abuses targeting innocent Americans – all in the name of Obamacare,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “No wonder it took a federal lawsuit and court order to get these documents – as they show the Obama White House and its agencies were happy to threaten and treat Americans like lab rats in order to bolster Obamacare.”    http://www.wnd.com/2017/10/report-obama-used-irs-to-push-obamacare/

Walter Williams is truly a good man and someone with an enormous amount of wisdom and dignity.  I really do with the progressive left would admire him as much as I do. Quote: "Let’s throw out a few numbers so we can put in perspective the NFL players taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem. Many say they are protesting against police treatment of blacks and racial discrimination. We might ask just how much sense their protest makes."  And, "So what can be done? Black people need to find new heroes. Right now, at least in terms of the support given, their heroes are criminals such as Baltimore’s Freddie Gray, Ferguson’s Michael Brown and Florida’s Trayvon Martin. Black support tends to go toward the criminals in the community rather than to the overwhelming number of people in the community who are law-abiding. That needs to end. What also needs to end is the lack of respect for and cooperation with police officers. Some police are crooked, but black people are likelier to be victims of violent confrontations with police officers than whites simply because blacks commit more violent crimes than whites per capita. For a race of people, these crime statistics are by no means flattering, but if something good is to be done about it, we cannot fall prey to the blame games that black politicians, black NFL players, civil rights leaders and white liberals want to play. If their vision is accepted, we can expect little improvement of the status quo."     https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/10/04/blacks-vs-police/#more-160546
If you think the radical left generally and Antifa specifically are comprised of good guys and gals wanting to do good you need to read this.  http://www.wnd.com/2017/10/antifas-next-target-americas-police/
