Update: Scrolling through the news since early this morning, the one thing I need to add to my post here is that FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly standing with Dan, as well. Sources say he will resign along with Bongino if Dan leaves his position. Other news items said that both Bondi and Patel would not leave their appointments regardless of any infighting between the AG and FBI leadership.
The only other thing of interest to me was the simple verification, according to another news article, was that the missing minute of Epstein’s jail cell footage at midnight had been edited by Adobe Premiere, a long standing software that has user friendly versions for home videos and professional versions for people in the entertainment industry or other businesses.
Reports say the White House said, in general, that there was nothing to this story and everything was fine between the FBI’s Director, Deputy Director and AG Pam Bondi.

Deputy FBI Director spars with Attorney General Pam Bondi
July 11, 2025
Written by Juliana Simone
Washington, D.C. – Current Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Dan Bongino, took a pass on work today taking a personal day to assumably reconsider his position there as it stands today. Differences between him and U.S. AG Pam Bondi, after her public statement about how there was nothing to see in regards to the ongoing story about how Jeffrey Epstein died in jail, made Bongino walk out as the two disagreed in terms of the conclusion.
Bongino, who for his millions of followers as a top ten podcaster, before he took the job to be the DD under Kash Patel, has always been brazenly honest about his career from his days as a New York police officer and later as a Secret Service special agent on the Presidential detail where he protected three Presidents of the United States.
Moving forward to become one of the few people asked to replace famed radio host Rush Limbaugh’s coveted time slot after his death, Bongino’s fan base grew to daily viewer numbers at over 100,000 each day. Mixing humor with insider knowledge from his work as a policeman and SS agent, his appeal reached a large audience for both of these reasons.
One of the things he used to say before taking the assignment under FBI Director Kash Patel, was that everyone listening had a real job, whereas he just talked into a camera and reported daily news, insights, and personal stories. He told all of his followers, myself included, that when President Trump called him and asked him to serve under Patel, there was no way he could say no. His fan base agreed he should go back to Washington D.C., where he was needed. Bongino and his “chatsters” hoped he would find out some answers to many of the mysteries that were successfully buried by the swamp.
This brings us back to today’s news. Bongino would not leave a position he was called to do for his country unless there was a real breach. I stand with Dan Bongino. A man of his word who is a good husband, father, loyal employee and American. Best of all, he has FY money so he is not tied to any backroom deals.
As someone who has reported on politics for almost 20 years, researching Bondi and Patel for more details during their nominations, I was surprised to read they both had ties to Qatar. Is this relevant today? I don’t know. Let the experts figure this out. Victor Davis Hanson would be someone good to ask among others. As more news breaks, we’ll learn more and I’ll follow up on this story.
What is it with Republicans when they have the power?

As someone with twenty years of working for the Republican Party as a paid staffer or a volunteer, in addition to being a long-term town RTC Chairman, state delegate, and someone who had a cable public access political interview half hour show for 14 years, I’m still amazed to witness how whenever Republicans have the Presidency, House and Senate majorities, they falter on anything that could be achieved. It’s a big fail.
Democrats, whenever given this opportunity, instantly ram everything through… regardless of public opinion. Most recently, under Biden, they used lawfare to try to arrest our sitting President under any means, all of which were bogus. Who cares to them? They tried with any false story, charge, or twist of the law they could for their end result. Take out Donald J. Trump. The man the majority of America loved and voiced their opinions of what our country should be and return to after both four years of Biden and 8 years of Obama. Hard to leave out the Clintons.
Republican holdouts. Vote for this bill. Move forward after this passes. The Democrats want this bill to fail. Are you with them?
The mainstream media, or whatever you want to call these networks today, keep pushing the false narratives about the contents of this bill. It is to their advantage in 2026. Example: The taxes have increased because of Trump and his Party. No, they will have increased because the Democrats didn’t vote for the big beautiful bill that would have extended tax cuts made by Donald J. Trump.
I know the Americans who voted for Trump want to see extra funds extended to finishing the border wall, deportation of first and foremost illegal aliens who are criminals and potential terrorists, election law integrity (i.e. real voter I.D. required in every state), no war, and the many things President Trump promised on his campaign: no taxes on tips/overtime, no taxes on seniors, raising the cap on SALT deductions, and raising the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 per child.
These are just some of the good things no one seems to want to focus on. Especially members of the Republican Party. Again, Democrats in this same situation would have passed everything immediately, extended the Supreme Court judges to their advantage, arrested more political enemies under unfounded charges and redrawn all districts in every state to make sure they never lost a seat again, statewide or nationally.
What are the Republicans who are not voting for this bill thinking? Our elected officials need to go long term. Not short term.

Congratulations to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, EPA Chief Lee Zeldin, former U.S. Representative from NY (R-1), DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, former Governor of South Dakota, and DOT Secretary, Sean Duffy, for going through the partisan and laborious process of getting confirmed despite the huge mandate the country gave President Trump last November. For the record the mandate includes winning all seven swing states, the U.S. Senate and House Majorities and the popular vote.
Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, former Florida U.S. Senator, is the only nominee to be confirmed unanimously and with ease.
Moving ahead, the slate includes candidates who outweigh and outperform any democrat from the previous Biden administration, as well as any democrat on any bench for any position to represent our country, now and in a very long time. Who are they? If you don’t know, and most of my viewers do, or if anyone needs further details, click on these links to read their biographies:

The confirmation hearings of all of these fine candidates have shown the Democrat Party’s true colors with their ridiculous questions, embarrassing outbursts, hostile interrogations, rude interruptions and grossly partisan displays towards all of President Trump’s candidates to head agencies in his cabinet. Clearly, what they like the least about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard is they were former democrat members who now see their own vision for a better America align with those of Republican President Donald J. Trump and are choosing to work with him instead of their former party.
Republicans should take note and in the future, not to be so fast to act professionally and fairly by doing their job to quickly vote in Democrat Presidents administration picks, regardless of lack of experience, poor records from previous positions or being unfit to hold these important titles and offices that work for and represent the American people. Democrats should remember all of these nominees and their goals after being confirmed are what the American people voted for by large in November of 2024, instead of trying to shove their failed and lost agendas down their throats by verbally attacking these stellar candidates.
The great Jazz tenor saxophonist, Dexter Gordon, would have turned 95 today. The bebop artist churned out a lifetime of recordings, live appearances and a starring film role in “Round Midnight” (1986) which earned him an Academy Award film nomination for Best Actor.

Augusta, GA – For those who have watched Sergio Garcia enter the pro golf circuit back in the late nineties, and thought he would have won a major tournament long before now, it was an exciting conclusion to the 2017 Masters tournament in Augusta. Leading over Justin Rose by two from the beginning of the fourth and final day, Rose playing with perfection and starting to look like he was already wearing the traditional green jacket winners receive after this achievement that gives them a lifetime invitation to play the tournament every year for as long as they choose, Rose after consecutive birdies, went ahead by one point.
After the 18th hole, the two players with some good putts and some bad ones were tied and had to go into a playoff. The fourth in line of the score board of pro golfers who had failed to win a major tournament with 73 losses behind him, and a reputation for choking when it came time to excel and close the deal, he went into the playoff with a tough monkey on his back. Rose has one major under his belt, after winning the U.S. Open in 2013, so confidence in terms of an end game maybe gave him an edge.
Returning to the 18th hole for the playoff, Sergio, the gallery on the sidelines and viewers watching the televised contest across the world, were both thrilled and relieved when Sergio sunk the needed birdie to break the tie and win what some consider to be the most important major to win in professional golf. For Justin, there are still many majors ahead he can live to fight another day.
Congratulations to Sergio Garcia, who struggled to stay alive on Sunday, April 9th, 2017 and after nineteen years of fighting, he scored and entered an exclusive club well worth the long wait. He is the third pro golfer from Spain to win this title after legendary Severiano Ballesteros, whose film “Seve The Movie” on his life is well worth the watch, and Jose Maria Olazabal, both two time winners in Augusta.

With few positive results for the Democrat Party for some time, other than managing to elect and re-elect a mystery man in terms of his portfolio before becoming the 44th President of the United States, the liberal Democrat’s desperately claw at anything they can that gives them any effective results for their anti-American anti-Trump agenda. Even with the fake news narrative of the mainstream media delivered 24/7, they fall short on almost every party directive. This being the case, they now frantically cling to anything that worked in their favor.
Hostile about newly elected and popular President Donald J. Trump, they have made it their sullen goal to obstruct any of Trump’s well regarded and accomplished appointees to his cabinet. With the American voter telling them this past election in November 2016, they want anything but more of their future plans for this great country, the Democrats have been put in the minority on every level. Republicans have the majority in the U.S. Senate, Congress and Executive Branch.
What to do but wail absurdities as for any reason they lost in such a big way. Finding something that would stick when thrown at the wall pre-Inauguration Day and post, the downsized Democrats chucked out the Russia theory that has only broadened since introduced.
After many attempts as to why their badly flawed candidate for the Oval Office failed did not gain any ground and sorely lost, with many traditionally held democrat states going for Trump, they went down the list after previous failed excuses, and landed on Russia. Yes, it was Russian hackers! Russia determined this election. Russia put Trump in the White House. Russia hacked computers nationwide to flip the results the liberals thought they had in the bag.
If this didn’t work, the next move maybe would have been aliens. It was aliens who stole the election and put Trump in office. Hearing this, such a stretch, all or most of all involved in the narrative, must have agreed to stick with the Russian thingy.
Regrettably, this actually gave them one notable result. General Michael T. Flynn, a man who most people at the very least could never hold a candle to in terms of bravery and career, was taken down by his own Democrat party, for being a Democrat who was willing and honored to work with President Trump as his National Security Advisor. Democrat leadership argued he had ‘communications with Russian officials’ about sanctions and therefore was subject to blackmail.
United States Army Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn (retired)
Flynn, who should have gone the route of his own party’s history of not resigning however horrible the scandal, didn’t follow the tired playbook and bowed out of the position just over three weeks. A clear advocate for the many who recognize Islamist terrorism and why it is something that needs to be eradicated, he did not meet the liberal Democrat criteria that falsely states there is no danger with this group and how it will affect the future of America and the rest of the world. This made him a focal point of his own caucus, as something that needed to be exterminated.
The positive result of this outcome for the Washington Democrats, has led them now to try and attach anything Russian to any of President Trump’s appointees, especially those they were unable to block during the confirmation process.
With this in mind, any potential future cabinet member, current cabinet member or sitting Republican elected official, better worry if they’ve ever eaten in New York’s Russian Tea Room, own a copy of any Tolstoy or Dostoevsky novel, or have a bottle of Stoli (Stolichnaya) vodka in their liquor closet. The DNC and leadership will argue you must resign as they take another scoop of Beluga caviar.
Donald Trump. His speeches on policy, foreign and domestic, are factual and impressive, but, of course, the liberal media highlighted few clips from these addresses.
Mike Pence. His running mate, the Governor of Indiana, has been a fine and articulate spokesman for Trump on the campaign trail, and clearly is a politician who serves Trump, his state and country well.
Trump supporters. Continued massive turnouts for any Trump rally or event throughout the nation, show the incredible devotion and enthusiasm to the candidate who wants to make America great again.
Trump’s children. All intelligent, polite, loyal, hard-working and professional, they continue to be an asset to Trump’s campaign and show how well-adjusted they are as young adults with Donald’s role as an attentive father. Additionally, Trump’s wife and ex-wives. Melania, Marla and Ivana all stand by Donald, support him, say good things about him and all agree what a good Dad he is to their children.
Conservative talk radio hosts. Each and every day they have divulged in great detail the crimes and misdemeanors Hillary Clinton is guilty of, where many legal experts agree she should be prosecuted and sentenced to time in jail. They also observe her disinterest in America in terms of how our Forefathers fought to establish this country, as well as her genuine power-hungry zeal to establish the moniker of being the first female President, even though she could not be a worse choice for such a title. Clinton enthusiastically envisions what that role would bring her as long as it lasts, whether it’s more “celebrities” staying in the Lincoln bedroom, or more millions donated to the Clinton Foundation.
Conservative network television and radio hosts/columnists. Trump has gained the support of a number of influential political commentators: Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Larry Elder, Pat Buchanan, and David Limbaugh, albeit David noting his vote was for the lesser of two evils, to name but a few.
Ted Cruz. The Texas Senator has said he will vote for Trump despite differences during the primary contest that led to some negative exchanges. Cruz has stated publicly he will vote for the Republican nominee, noting how bad the alternative will be for the future of the Supreme Court among other vital issues he described in a list on his Facebook page.
Republican legislators and advocates voting for Trump. Dr. Ben Carson, Newt Gingrich, Former New York Mayor and AG Rudy Giuliani, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum(R-PA), Former Alaska Governor and VP candidate Sarah Palin, George P. Bush, and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.
Jerry Falwell, Jr. The son of the long-serving Christian pastor and conservative activist who was well known for his televised sermons, and founded Liberty University in Lynchberg, VA, before his death in 2007. Falwell, Jr., now President of the University, recognizes the difference between Trump and Clinton and how it would affect millions of Christians in America and throughout the world. Public morality and people who want to follow their faith would clearly suffer under four years of Clinton, who has vowed to uphold the policies of President Barack Obama.
Chris Wallace. Though presumably one of the ninety-plus percent of journalists who contributed to the Clinton campaign, Wallace did the most respectable job in the final and third debate between the two candidates. Even with his pressing, Clinton failed to answer three essential questions but maintained her mechanical smile.
The Bad:
Image: Insider.Foxnews.com
The Never-Trumpers. So-called Republicans who are on record for saying they will vote for establishment choice Hillary Clinton on Election Day, November 8th, rather than businessman Donald Trump, regardless of how much evidence points to why Hillary Clinton is perceivably the worst candidate nominated for America’s highest office. Though they continue in their opposition to their Party nominee, they agree Clinton would be bad for our nation if elected.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell (R). He voted for Obama, despite his weak record as a one-term U.S. Senator, background of community organizing and an often expressed disdain for America, regardless of the life of privilege he has lived here. Leaked emails from Powell show what he really feels about Hillary: “I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect,” the former secretary of state wrote Democratic donor Jeffrey Leeds on July 26, 2014. “A 70-year person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still d–kng bimbos at home (according to the NYP),” reads the explosive e-mail obtained by the Web site DCLeaks. (Hillary is actually 69) “Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris. I told you about the gig I lost at a University because she so overcharged them they came under heat and couldn’t [pay] any fees for awhile. I should send her a bill,” Powell griped. “Wanted to get away with it.” “Her instincts can be terrible.”
Sore losers:
The Bush family. Though not all are on record for saying they’ll vote for the scandal riddled Mrs. Clinton, but some are, including Former President of the United States George H.W. Bush (R-41), his wife, former First Lady, Barbara Bush, and Former First Lady Laura Bush, daughter-in-law to George and Barbara, whom many held with great respect until she made this statement. Now her estimated character may be reconsidered. Former Florida Governor and 2016 candidate for the nomination for President 2016, Jeb Bush, has stated he will not vote for either Trump or Clinton. Jeb Bush, going into the first long-benched candidate debate in August of 2015, had raised a considerable treasure chest of donations in his bid. Apparently, money is not always enough to win the title one covets.
Ohio Governor John Kasich (R). With winning only his state of Ohio during the entire Republican primary, he somehow yet still perceived himself as the next President of the United States. He did not show professionalism in declining to attend the National Republican Convention in his own state this year, nor would he endorse nominee Trump. Kasich recently had another 30 seconds of fame by providing the liberal media with a sound bite media gladly used with his remarking he did not know if he could vote for Trump. He might be the biggest baby of all.
Former President of the United States Republican nominee and Massachusetts Governor, Mitt Romney, who actually spent and raised money to try and ensure that Trump both was not the nominee, and after failing this objective, could not win the election.
Romney’s former running mate, House Speaker Ryan, has also failed to support Trump from the beginning, briefly wavered, and now has run back to what he perceives as the safety of moderate Republicans, who think if they vote for Clinton, they can still keep their jobs and two-faced machinations of politics intact, with the establishment keeping Washington, D.C. the way it is now and has been for a very long time. Not for the voter, the taxpayer, the small businessman, veterans, women, seniors, college students, patriots, those born in debt today and those struggling with debt, true Republicans, Unaffiliated, moderate Democrats, and other ignored castoffs who are not in bed with this self-serving group on hand, but just for those in the government beltway.
{Editor:} Ryan has publicly stated he voted early and voted for Trump. If this is true, that is commendable and noted.
More-Conservative-Than-Though political commentators, writers, and editors. The Weekly Standard and EIC Bill Kristol, National Review, Glenn Beck, television host and political commentator, and Jonah Goldberg, syndicated political columnist and author, {former Congressman Chris Shays, the last standing Republican U.S. Representative to serve all of New England and who made a bid for the Connecticut U.S. Senate seat in 2014, and veteran columnist George Will,} to name but a few.
Republican voters who had another candidate they wanted to become the nominee. This group has never been able to get over their loss. Sour grapes rule the day for these people, and apparently it’s more important for them to have their day and revenge and see Trump lose, even if it means electing someone from the opposite party who plans to implement more bad and continued Obama policy, and seeing the Supreme Court filled with appointees that would disregard The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States.
The polls: Daily updated by the liberal media with an agenda to dishearten the people not voting for the candidate they are shilling for, in this election year, Clinton. The skewed polls are largely swayed by demographics and oversampling of callers who will provide them with the answer they want to count, as to who the candidate they will be voting for on Election Day, to bolster their results and allow them to continue to falsely inform the public on who is really ahead. The polls considered to be the most reputable, and correct post-Election Day are Rasmussen and the L.A. Times.
The Ugly:
Image: The Free Thought Society
The network and liberal media at large who threw away objective professional journalism decades ago. They have failed to cover any of the incredibly important news stories concerning Hillary Clinton that they would have broadcast day in day out if it were her Republican opponent. An embarrassing example of what used to be considered news, at best. Setting the bar low, they’ve had to dig into the lowest depths of extremely old hearsay to find anything negative to say about Trump, when they have mountains of solid evidence concerning Clinton’s serious illegal activities. The media’s desperate smear campaign against Donald’s alleged moves on women he claims to never even have met, pale against the more serious and credible negative situations President Bill Clinton carried out with women while Governor of Arkansas and in the White House.
{Editor:} Their blackout of any positive news on Donald Trump has been astounding, an amazing thing to bear witness to in this day and age. No mention of Trumps huge support which has never wavered right up until Election Day, can be shown in this photo which was only distributed through social media.
Jacksonville, FL aerial view of Trump rally October 25th not shown anywhere in network news or national publications
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) considered to be both a nominee for President and V.P. choice for Clinton, best known for saying she was a descendant of the Cherokee Indians until fact-checking showed this to be barely true by a stretch, if at all. Her checking the American Indian heritage box, however, helped her get hired as a minority at Harvard. She is the perfect spokesperson and colleague for Mrs. Clinton, who has quite a long history of lies herself. Warren, going lower than low in her stump speeches this election year, spends her time insulting opponent Trump. The other day, in referencing Trump’s calling Clinton ‘a nasty woman’ in the third debate, after Clinton made a derogatory remark about Trump, she shrilly addressed voters and declared that nasty women vote, in calling these women to action to vote for Hillary.
Clinton running mate Tim Kaine. After watching the Vice President debate, and hearing any of his soundbites as he stumps for Clinton, the man has shown he couldn’t be a worse second-in-line to the President of the United States. With Clinton’s health being a topic, this is a notable concern voters should consider.

{Editor:} President Barack Hussein Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama. Six days before the election, desperation is setting in among the liberal leadership. Today, Obama actually was reaching back into scare tactic pages of the Democrat Party play book, trying to frighten needy voters with the false narrative that if Trump is elected as President, on day one he will stop welfare checks, Medicare checks, and stop assistance for African American youth’s entry into college. Seriously? Playing the people as he did since 2008, if not earlier, like Hillary, he is simply lying. Stopping large Government programs like welfare, Medicare and Affirmative Action, are not decided by the President alone. It would be an enormous task to discontinue any of these entitlements, and they would never pass even if suggested by a sitting President. Despite this fact, Trump’s current policies as a candidate for our country’s highest office, as well as his record as a businessman who hires people from every background, make clear he wants to help people not hurt them. Michelle Obama, suddenly believes Hillary Clinton is the most divine person to ever run for office in our nation’s history, despite a litany of previous statements when Clinton was challenging Obama for the nomination in 2008.
A Hillary Clinton Presidency. For the first time in the history of the United States of America, someone could get elected to our country’s highest office as someone who should be serving in time for prison. Here is one list to review, from fine veteran and former Florida Congressman Allen West. http://www.allenbwest.com/matt-palumbo/need-know-fbis-report-hillary
Even the New York Times is having to publish a smidgen of the multiple unethical or illegal activities Hillary Clinton has engaged in, however much they can polish it up.
The latest WikiLeaks shows what Democrat National Committee Chair Donna Brazile and Clinton both knew about people that were hired to disrupt Trump rallies and instigate fights with Trump supporters to make Trump voters look unhinged. Two 16-minute videos recently released by Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe after a yearlong undercover investigation can be seen here: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/18/undercover-video-shows-democrats-saying-they-hire-/ Trump who has had thousands of people show up at his rallies, compared to Clinton and running mate Kaine, who consistently produce much smaller crowds, needed to have some kind of negative attachment to this spectacular story of turnout and attendance. This is what the Democrat hire, now fired, was sent out to do.
We would also have to deal with potential complications her husband-in-name-only, William Jefferson Clinton (D-42) would bring, who was impeached as President of the United States, lost his law license as a result, and was not without scandal. His social behavior patterns potentially make him problematic if put in the White House again even as the spouse of Executive-In-Chief.
Hillary’s record as Secretary of State, is also a problem. There is considerable hard evidence that shows Clinton’s actions and failures while serving as SOTS, doomed the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, to being brutally tortured and murdered, despite numerous appeals for help, at the hands of experienced Islamic soldiers, whom she claimed at the time were protestors who were enraged by an obscure video.
Her evident failures show her foreign policy would be a disaster, especially if her plan if elected is to continue as her predecessor, Barack Obama, she chooses to lead from behind, and continue to alienate the leaders of countries formerly on good terms with the United States. Rather than making amends with Russia’s President Putin, China or North Korea, perhaps Clinton could continue to give more millions to Iran to build nuclear weapons. The Iran Deal, struck by Obama, which involved bringing plane loads of cash secretly at night to Iran, could now easily be shared with terrorists like the Hamas by Islamic leaders. This deal, clearly a direct threat to Israel, is very likely unconstitutional, because it was a treaty and not a deal, that was never authorized by the United States Congress. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/438804/iran-ransom-payment-barack-obama-tried-be-sneaky
Obamacare, has gone further south in recent days, and the middle class are going to be punished with high rate increases to somehow work out now in their monthly budgets, whether they naively voted for Obama or not.
Clinton wants to bring into the United States a million Syrian Refugees. Even if one percent of these are ISIS soldiers, perceivably thousands of deaths could occur from assaults in schools to shopping malls, to airlines and skyscrapers.
The U.S. Military, gutted by Obama down to mere fractions of what it was under President Ronald Reagan, would continue to be weak under Clinton, who holds the same feelings as Obama about our armed forces and their role as international protectors throughout the world. Obama and Clinton also share the same general disdain for the police forces.
With this in mind, American citizens should be concerned about Second Amendment rights. The Democrat Party is obsessed with anti-gun legislation and regardless of what they say on camera when asked, they would be more than happy to see all guns taken away from countrymen who keep them to protect their homes against invasion, while they as elected officials, all have 24 hour security surrounding them and their families to ensure their safety. The hypocrisy never ends with Democrats.
As for the First Amendment, consider that gone, as well, if Clinton is elected. Conservative talk radio, newspapers, magazines, and blogs will all be stamped out like a mere spark in damp ground, whether through administrative decree or by the newly appointed Supreme Court justices who would now have a strong progressive majority. For those who direct films, produce television shows, record music, or write books whose message is deemed deplorable, this material will not be safe from Presidential intervention. For those whose message fits the liberal democrat agenda, this material will get the green light, and the privileged lifestyle of being driven around in limousines, flying around in private jets – using that horrible fossil fuel ostracized by the left – and living a life the majority of Americans and the rest of the world will never know. The press releases and public appearances that preach on the surface concern for those not as fortunate, will really just provide a fake exterior to the true interiors that hold a true dismissal of the have-nots who won’t ever get an invitation to spend the night in the Lincoln bedroom under a Clinton administration.
These final two weeks before Election Day, still show Trump talking to his large crowds about the issues and Clinton avoiding any of the issues or addressing the many scandals that surround her. She instead continues to go low and just insult her opponent Donald Trump at every appearance. Trump, with endless amounts of energy, continues to easily make four different campaign stops a day. Clinton, needed to take a week off before the third and final debate to prepare. Maybe she just doesn’t have the energy or the good bill of health only her own personal doctor has declared. Or, maybe she thinks she already has it in the bag, and is already disinterested in mingling with the general public.
Hillary Clinton continues to avoid addressing the issues or discussing her many scandals in her decade’s long career. Instead, she goes low and uses sensational journalism tactics when addressing the voters who do appear at her events.
In an appearance today in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Democrat nominee had this to say before news broke that the FBI was reopening their investigation into the Hillary Clinton email scandal:
“Throughout this campaign, actually throughout his life, Donald Trump has demeaned and insulted women,” Clinton said.
She went on to refer to the allegations of sexual assault that have been leveled against Trump — and his denials, in which he suggested some women weren’t attractive enough to be assaulted. She referenced statements in which Trump said he went into beauty pageant dressing rooms to “inspect” the contestants, including teenagers. Such an overt stretch. You want to go there? Let’s talk about the alleged account many have reported on here:
Inspecting the contestants is part of the job, and any woman who has been a model, actress or beauty pageant contestant knows you can’t show up for the audition or appearance, and not be up to what is expected as the person cast in this role or title. It is also common for heads of the agency or broadcast to make a pass at someone they find attractive. Many are flattered. This is small potatoes as to Mrs. Clinton’s husband’s past with women.
This is an amazing charge, considering who the former President of the United States, William J. Clinton is and his notorious account of philandering. Mrs. Clinton knows full well the long history of assault on women her husband owns.
Note to Hillary and her speech writers, if there is any actual evidence provided of “assault” by Mr. Trump, from this motley crew of women who have come forth for either a piece of the potential financial rewards pie, or for fifteen minutes of fame, “groping” or reviewing the moves he made on a woman in a locker room while unaware he was being recorded, pales in comparison with Bill Clinton’s lengthy record of assault on women.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Impeached President Clinton, corrupted a young White House intern while holding office, Monica Lewinsky, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Lewinsky which led to the general public having to hear many vulgar details about their physical activities.
The former President also had a long record of unwanted intimacies with women while he was the Governor and Attorney General of Arkansas, including an allegation of rape by Juanita Broaddrick.
The list is long, as Hillary’s wayward husband also allegedly had a long term affair with Gennifer Flowers, who was considered his mistress for years. Other serious charges were brought by Kathleen Wiley and Paula Jones.
Bottom line is a good looking multimillionaire, is a magnet for many opportunistic women.
If Donald Trump, as someone not serving in public office, actually did any of the things Clinton’s campaign is harping about while avoiding the imperative issues that will affect our nation, it is miniscule in comparison to what William J. Clinton did as an elected official, from his days in Arkansas as Attorney General and Governor, to his two terms in Washington, D.C. as President of the United States.
Her accusations about Trump are a pathetic current stump speech from Hillary, who played a large part as the damage control chief in getting rid of Bill’s women, and ensuring their ruin as for any future professional or personal lives. The current candidate who claims to be ‘for women,’ aside from destroying the women who made their encounters with the former President, Governor and Attorney General public, also fails to pay women on her campaign staff equal pay, another false talking point she’s used over the past year.
With the breaking news of the FBI reopening their investigation into the Hillary Clinton email scandal today, Clinton’s staff may have to quickly write a whole new script for her to read in her upcoming appearances. The lesser sexual aspersions however legit towards Trump from the Democrat Party, vs. President Bill Clinton’s, will have to take a back seat to something Hillary and her highly paid staff can’t put on Donald… Mr. Trump has no background in selling access to him as a potential future President of the United States in a pay to play scheme like Hillary, nor does he have any record of choosing to use a private server as Secretary of State, which allowed classified information to be hacked by enemies.
Hillary Clinton: Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported.
(l) Senator Tom Kaine (D-VA) (r) Governor Mike Pence (R-IN)
Written by Juliana Simone
Much has been said about this ninety minute broadcast that took place in Farmville, VA, since yesterday evening in terms of analysis and campaign talking points from both sides, but I want to weigh in for my followers who maybe missed this event and only heard a thirty second AP, Reuters or other mainstream media summary over their radio or television this morning.
It was shocking to hear how the liberals spliced words and soundbites this morning to make it sound like somehow, Vice President Nominee for Hillary Clinton’s Presidential bid, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) won this discussion. Or conversation. Or however it was nebulously framed by the left, as a debate would be too technical and constraining.
A national television broadcasting network who owns a radio station here, surmised the debate by editing into their soundbite a repeated campaign slogan Kaine used last night, with words Donald Trump has used to describe women over the past. This was followed up when the only thing Governor Pence (R-IN) did in this time period, again in view of liberal mainstream media talking points, was apologize for Trump’s not being a polished politician. (edit out Pence’s saying like Clinton and Kaine)
How amusing, since anyone familiar with Hillary Clinton’s fierce actions on the many women who were involved with her husband, former President of the United States, William J. Clinton, willingly or unwillingly, knows she used much worse names to call women than Trump is being cited for now. Hillary? A friend to women? Not.
For the ladies who allegedly were assaulted by her husband, or those like Monica Lewinsky, who told the public the relationship with Mr. Clinton was consensual, Hillary chose to go after them and ruin their lives for her own husband’s depravities. A complete hypocrite who claims to be for women’s rights, and equal pay for women, currently pays the men on her own campaign staff more money than her female workers.
Trump, on the other hand, has a multitude of women in leadership positions within all of his companies.
Not without fault in terms of his own past, in terms of unsuccessful marriage, like the Clinton’s, who have not lived together for at least fifteen years, and did not even stay in the same hotel during the 2016 Democrat Convention, when Hillary was nominated to run for her party as their presidential candidate.
Trump’s women, two ex-wives and his current wife for over a decade, Melania, daughters and employees, all stand behind him.
The best the Clinton campaign could do after more than a year of digging was find one ex-Miss Universe, who obviously wanted money, a renewed momentary exposure, or both, to drag out of the woods and say how badly Trump treated her. The real story was that Trump did everything to help her when while still wearing the crown, she did many things that would have cancelled her contract and taken the title from her, despite advice from others involved who told him to drop her.
But, that said, this was the morning news sound bite from the liberal media who support Kaine, and now had to somehow make his horrible performance seem like a winning one: the negative words Trump used to describe women, and Pence’s one sentence the editors could find that sounded weak without the other 89 minutes, for most people who did not tune in to watch the debate last night.
This is how the mainstream media wants the general public to believe this is how the dual turned out among these two nominees. Quite a reach. An amazing job of making the complete opposite of what was true look accurate.
As someone who doesn’t usually tweet, or use my twitter account, I and many others who couldn’t believe the theatrics of this newscast, were tweeting every two minutes. No one was short of words. On my Facebook account, I wrote when it finished: That VP debate was completely bizarre. Maybe Hillary picked Kaine to make her look more stable and less unhinged. Quite a challenge.
It was the most absurd display between two Vice President Candidates anyone had ever seen.
Democrat Kaine, in any other venue, would be considered someone psychologically unsound. Totally unprofessional. Rude, crass and clearly on a mission to deliver whatever talking points he was instructed to do, he came across as a person never to be considered next in line as Commander in Chief of the United States of America. If Clinton is somehow elected and whose failing health has been observed by many professionals, despite denial from her doctor and campaign, Kaine showed viewers last night he is not capable of assuming our country’s highest office.
For fact checkers, please look up the many false remarks he made last night, some totally out of left field. Since the moderator was clearly out of her league, and there to assist Kaine and deflect Pence, the broadcast in itself was almost on the verge of reality TV.
It was revealed today Governor Pence was interrupted 72 times, a record breaking number, while the moderator said nothing except to admonish Pence once or twice to please give Kaine his allowed minutes. Kaine stared desperately at the moderator to break it up whenever Pence trounced him with truth, in a soft spoken voice with knowledge and patience.
Republican Pence, appeared as a comprehensive leader. Completely proficient. Polite, gentlemanly and solely there to represent the candidate who made him his under ticket, with shared policy and party agenda. The former popular Congressman who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2003 to 2013, exhibited himself as a man who could assume the Oval Office with ease. If Trump is elected, Pence has what it takes in terms of temperament and experience, to assume the position of the President of the United States, or run for this office after Trump.
Donald J. Trump (R) and Hillary R. Clinton (D) debate number one 2016 {photo: wdn.com}
Tough to jump in at this point, as details continue to unfold in the news. What I originally perceived after watching the first debate, was observed the next day by every level of commentator – from local talk show radio callers to veteran political analysts. The second day, or today, what was not yet detected, was also discussed.
In short, some voices said Donald Trump wasn’t prepared and lax, vs. some voices who said Hillary Clinton, who spent days if not weeks coaching for this first debate, was robotic and evasive. Both sides perceived themselves as winning or losing the televised broadcast that was viewed by eighty-one million, a number only achieved once before in America’s history, when President Jim Carter (D) held his one debate with his opponent, Ronald Reagan (R), who is viewed worldwide as one of our best Presidents, and went on to make many substantial marks in this country’s history.
People listening to early news on their televisions or over the radio on Tuesday heard the mainstream media press release which declared Clinton as the big winner on Monday night. Broadcasters quickly echoed this message for hours until, later in the afternoon, polls coming from many respectable sources such as the Wall Street Journal, showed voters believed Trump won the debate. Reporters from swing states who attended debate parties among the undecided, told their viewing audience the undecided all chose Trump over Clinton after watching the ninety minute event.
In general, analysts have said Trump was even, so he didn’t win or lose, and if he stays just on this level, he’ll be fine. They’ve also said Trump should have hit the ball out of the ball park, with the long list of baggage the former Secretary of State carries on her back. Laden with lies, crimes and misdemeanors, as well as general bad character, Hillary Clinton, shouldn’t even be considered as a presidential candidate. A complete embarrassment to our United States history, where over a million lives of our Military were lost since the Revolutionary War in defending liberty for all, this sad nominee, should not even be standing on stage.
However, that’s the democrat party. They elect and reelect many embarrassing former elected officials at whatever tier, to keep that seat for the power they need to continue their detrimental agenda. Their caucus rules, no matter how heinous the crime, permits them to overlook it, unless the party member is disposable, hurts one of their own, or can save someone higher up from being taken down due to duplicity.
Almost everyone commented on Clinton’s “robotic smile.” Agreed. She appeared to be a member of the cast “The Stepford Wives,” a film from the 1970’s, where real women were turned into replicas of their own self-image, but were no longer alive; essentially living breathing mannequins who would now just be subservient and placid females, happy homemakers, and obedient wives with no complaints.
Oddly smiling ear to ear throughout much of the ninety minute debate, she was either advised by her campaign consultants to make this expression due to her high ‘unlikeable’ numbers among voters, or she was just really ramped up on a damn good dose of whatever cocktail her doctor gives her to keep her appearing normal. Woo hoo! Who wouldn’t be smiling and thinking they were just having the best good time?
Her health has been an issue for a while, but most notably since she was caught on a smart phone video falling down twice, trying to get into the candidate’s SUV after the 9/11 memorial in New York. Other videos have been put up online that suggests she may have gotten injections from a staff security member, after momentary lapses during speeches. The Clinton campaign has laughed this away saying she had pneumonia, and didn’t even know this, but with antibiotics all is well now.
Back to the debate. Pundits have described the first thirty minutes as interesting and the last hour as dull. For Trump fans, looking for the Donald who took out sixteen exceptional fellow candidates since latter 2015, with brusque remarks and brazen observations, this polite Donald Trump, especially to someone as extremely disliked as Hillary Clinton, was less than they hoped for. For Clinton fans, they were happy to see this perceived fail on Trump’s part, and relished the pass that was given to their damaged candidate by mainstream media debate host, Lester Holt.
A big wipe off of the sweated brows of God-knows-why Clinton supporters and the majority of media, embraced the ninety minute censorship of the long laundry list of her blunders and corruption without conscience.
To name a few, Benghazi, where our American Ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens, after multiple appeals for help to then Secretary of State, Clinton, and the Obama administration, were left unheard, and he and his colleague, Sean Smith, were left to be tortured and murdered (Clinton lied about why this happened blaming the incident on an anti-Muslim video which was made, and not her own irresponsibility – this has long since been proven as a false narrative by Clinton); the Clinton Foundation, (which has raised around 100 million dollars in donations, some from our nation’s enemies, while she used her position as SOS to negotiate a pay-to-play position, which allowed them access to her in private meetings or the assurance of future deals when she presumed to the next elected President) and is now being investigated by the FBI; Hillary’s email scandal, which allowed her private server and highly classified information as SOS to be hacked by enemies across the globe which she shamelessly lied about knowing anything about to the FBI, and could easily be serving time right now if not for whatever dark political influence she somehow continues to manipulate.
An amusing moment in actual dialogue, was when Hillary said she was worried about the nation’s future economy, because she has two grandchildren now. (She has two from her only child, daughter Chelsea.) Does she really feel she is connecting with the majority of voters when making this glib statement? The two granddaughters are already growing up in a Manhattan apartment bought with their grandmother’s ill-gotten gains for 10.5 million dollars. They don’t need to worry about the future economy. Living a life of privilege, if they never choose to work, they will be left millions of dollars in trust funds.
In terms of those who felt Donald said little, he got out a few good jabs. When pressured by a hostile Hillary-friendly moderator, Lester Holt, as to why he hasn’t released his tax returns yet, Donald quipped, he would release his tax returns when Hillary Clinton released the 33K emails she deleted from her server.
On Hillary’s staid promises for what she would do if elected President, Donald noted, she has been in D.C. for thirty years, and has had this much time to act on any of these promises, and none have been accomplished. He reminded Clinton and viewers that under the Obama administration the country was 20 trillion dollars in debt, which the Obama-Clinton administration has doubled in almost eight years as President, and that his plan would bring the biggest tax cut since Ronald Reagan.
They also exchanged views on NAFTA, Clinton lauding her husband, former President Bill Clinton, for his eight years in the White House, and Trump saying he approved NAFTA which was the worst single trade deal ever approved in this country, and how bad it was for our manufacturing industry. She claimed to be against this and he reminded her she called it the Gold Standard.
In terms of experience, Trump said to his opponent Clinton, who challenged him on Washington experience, in comparison to hers, “Hillary has experience, but it’s bad experience.”
He mentioned the Iran deal and how bad this deal was, and that the country could not afford four more years of this kind of experience.
Debate number two should be worth watching for all voters in America.
