Hillary Knows What It Feels Like To Struggle

Posted By Dave Snope

She is in touch with American families who are struggling to pay their bills every month as the cost of essentials rises further and further out of reach.

A Chinese businessman paid $500,000 to have dinner with Bill and Hillary Clinton. But when he asked if his kids could join, the former first couple demanded another half-million, the New York Post reports.

One witness said Holzman regaled guests with a tale that “lunch for two with Bill and Hillary went for $500,000 to benefit the Clinton Foundation.” And the winning bid came from “a Chinese business mogul who then asked if he could bring his two children along to the meeting.”

But, our spy said, the high bidder was then told by the Clinton camp he could only bring his kids for a cool $1 million.

Billionaires Club Controls EPA and Enviro Movement

Posted By Dave Snope


How a Club of Billionaires and Their Foundations Control the Environmental Movement and Obama’s EPA

A new report was released today by the Senate Environment and Public Works committee, and it is damning. All this time that climate skeptics are accused of being in the employ of “big oil” is nothing more than a projection of their own greed.

Some excerpts:

Over 7.9 BILLION in funding between these groups.

100% Dedicated President

Posted By Dave Snope

Dedicated to fundraising with the elites, that is. So dedicated, he's taking time off from his vacation to do it. His vacation. What a guy.

Obama To Take Time Off From Vacation To Attend His 401st Fundraiser:

Vacationing President Obama will host his 401st fundraiser Monday night on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., continuing his record-setting pace that has had him collecting checks from donors at events on average every five days since becoming president.

The Vineyard event is for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee at the Tisbury retreat of Boston’s Berklee College of Music President Roger Brown and his wife, Linda Mason.

For the president, it’s a sign that even while he is taking some time off to golf and relax with his family, the business of raising money for his embattled party is endless. He should do well, since many of the party’s elite also vacation on the island.

Remember this?
Obama in 2008: “uh umm, you give me this office and in turn my, fears, doubts, insecurities, foibles, need for sleep, family life, vacations, leisure is gone. I am giving my self to you.”

"He Was A Good Boy, Never Got In Any Trouble"

Posted By Dave Snope

I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop after listening for days about what a sweet, innocent boy he was.

6'4" Michael Brown, robbing a store minutes before his confrontation with responding Ferguson police:



"He was just minding his own business when he was gunned down in cold blood".

Jackson Lee, meanwhile, is calling for a similar investigation by both the House and Senate Judiciary panels. The problem, she argued, has grown into “an epidemic.”

“We will not stop these types of confrontations with the police unless there is a national investigation of police and community relations,” she said in a statement. “It is crucial that the House and Senate Judiciary committees hold hearings in the fall on the continued incidents of the killing of African-American males by law enforcement.” […]

Meanwhile, Jackson Lee is at once calling “to hear both sides of the story” surrounding Brown’s death, while also suggesting that criminal missteps by the officer involved are “obvious.”

“In the instance of Michael Brown and other cases, a failing to follow the law is obvious.

“Michael Brown was shot down in the street.”

Foley Rescue Failed Because Obama Wavered

Posted By Dave Snope

It's much too hard to be asked to make big decisions during the brief rides between fund raisers and golf games. He needs more time.

I’m hearing from my friends in the Pentagon, they are giving him every single option way ahead of time. And let me give you a little secret here: The reason that raid into Syria failed to get Foley and those guys was because the president drug his feet. He waited too long, the intel got stale, and by the time we actually gave the “go” word it failed because we just didn’t react quick enough.

Lois Lerner's Emails Exist, But Too Hard To Find

Posted By Dave Snope

Yeah riiiiight. They design the backup systems to be impossible to get the backed up files from. Sure.

As usual, the Obama admin is either lying or incompetent or both.

“A Department of Justice attorney told a Judicial Watch attorney on Friday that it turns out the federal government backs up all computer records in case something terrible happens in Washington and there’s a catastrophe, so the government can continue operating,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Fox News’ Shannon Bream.

“But it would be too hard to go get lois lerner’s emails from that backup system,” Fitton continued, paraphrasing the DOJ official.

How Does He Keep This Grueling Schedule?

Posted By Dave Snope

Three fundraisers and a wedding?

And according to his spokesman he is also giving careful consideration to forming a well thought out and deliberate strategy for how to deal with ISIS. Truly an amazing man who, as they say, belongs in the same conversation as presidents Washington and Lincoln.

Obama headlines three events on Friday. Two are just north of New York City in Westchester County, and the third is in Newport, Rhode Island.

Obama will spend Saturday morning in Washington, then return to New York later in the day for the wedding of his personal chef Sam Kass and MSNBC host Alex Wagner.

Imminent Terrorist Attack Warning

Posted By Dave Snope

Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.

Specifically, Judicial Watch sources reveal that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is confirmed to now be operating in Juarez, a famously crime-infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the U.S. State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.

Hillary Clinton, World-Champion Pretend Griller

Posted By Dave Snope

She's been playing make-believe for decades, so she might as well pretend to grill steaks for her dutiful followers in the press corps.

How perfectly Clintonian: “While a crowd of several thousand Democrats waited on a sloping, grassy field below, Mrs Clinton, her husband and Senator Harkin staged a mini-grilling of steaks for the press at a single barbecue grill in a fenced-off enclosure, framed by a handsome tree and a picnic table filled with some patient Iowans. Mrs Clinton gamely posed, pretending to grill a steak that had been pre-cooked for her.”

Yay! Our hero cooked us a wonderful steak. Isn't she marvelous?
