[PJ] That Barack Obama communicated in 2012--under a redacted pseudonym--with Hillary Clinton on the then secretary of State's permeable home-brew email server and then claimed he did not know of that server's existence until it was reported in the press in 2014 is far more than the usual politician's prevarication.
Since the fish rots from the top--and in this case it stinks to high heaven--the surfacing of this particular presidential lie calls to question the entire FBI inquiry into the Clinton server, an investigation whose credibility was paper thin in the first place and has now completely vanished.
It's time to ask that age-old question: "What did the president know and when did he know it?"
That we do know (as of this Friday's dump) that one of Clinton's own IT workers referred to her then just-announced 60-day email retention policy (who does that?) as "Hillary's coverup operation" almost (but not completely) tells the story in those three quoted words. Even though they say it's not the crime, but the coverup, in this case, it's both.
The seriousness of this crime/coverup--involving the national security of our country--makes Watergate seem like a minor kerfuffle at a sewing circle. If the mainstream media does not investigate this thoroughly, they are unquestionably the court eunuchs many of us have accused them of being. Worse, they are the enablers of the decline of Western civilization. Without a free and honest press -- some of it anyway -- not to mention adherence to the rule of law, such a civilization cannot survive. And the decline can come remarkably swiftly. We have plenty of examples of that from twentieth century Europe.
Does this sound over-heated? You could say so, but how do you avoid the conclusion, given the MSM's passivity, or is it collaboration, that they do not care a whit about the rule of law as long as their side wins?
But not to be entirely negative, I am going to offer some help to the Fourth Estate, since investigative journalism has not, for some time, been their long suit. Fortunately, via the Internet (at least for a few weeks until Obama passes us all into the censorious hands of the United Nations) we have the "wisdom of crowds" to draw upon. Yesterday, the following fascinating comment from one "susanholly" appeared under my column "What Happens When You Can't Trust the FBI and the State Department?" I have no idea who "susan" is or if her conjectures are accurate, but she has given us food for thought. I don't often quote comments at length, but this time it seems worth it:
[US Naval Institute] Recently, we asked LTG H. R. McMaster, USA, to host a Q&A with Fox News commentator MG Bob Scales, USA (Ret.), author of Scales on War: The Future of America's Military at Risk. Part I of their exchange follows.
McMaster: Your call for a historical-behavioral approach to military strategy and defense policy is consistent with Graham Allison's and Niall Ferguson's recent essay in the Atlantic in which they call for a board of historical advisors to advise the president to improve the wisdom of foreign policy. What is the value to contemporary affairs and why do you think it is underappreciated?
Scales: Not only do I think Presidents need historians to provide advice I believe the military does as well. War is the only profession that's episodic. Soldiers don't practice war (thankfully) as much as they study it. Thus the intellectual backbone of our profession should be the study of past wars. Sadly, it is not. Reluctance to study war among our senior leaders is, in a way, understandable. A newly appointed general has spent half his or her life (or more) actively engaged in fighting or preparing to fight a war. It's reasonable for a serving officer to question the merits of study when he's fully engaged in practicing the profession. As we witnessed with the British Army in the late nineteenth century these habits are hard to break. Imperial officers published under a pseudonym for fear of being labeled an intellectual. Conversation in the officer's mess was about sport, not tactics. And the British paid a painful price when they were unable to adapt intellectually once they shifted from a native to an industrial age European enemy. The lesson is clear. We must artificially induce our young officers to shift from the visceral to the vicarious, an unnatural act for a contemporary Army on active service.
#1
Universities have become such incubators of political correctness and "leftism," it difficult to imagine an environment that would be receptive to what Scales says regarding embedding military studies in large public and some private universities structured in the ways that he suggests. The culture of universities needs to be changed and that would be extremely difficult but needed.
[HuffingtonPost] I have spent my life as a Democrat which probably isn’t that surprising considering that I am African-American. I think I see your problem.
One of the things that always attracted me to the party were the ideals of equality, fighting for the little guy and our openness to differing opinions, but lately I have seen my party take a turn that makes me uncomfortable. Somewhere along the way we stopped fighting for the little guy and became the party of the smug, educated elites who look down on those with less education and deem them unable or unworthy of being able to make personal decisions for their own lives. A good start for this missive.
Over the last few years we have made incredible strides in diversity and inclusion, from the election twice of the nation’s first African-American President to the legalization of gay marriage, all things that I have loudly and happily cheered for and felt were a long time in coming. As an African-American professional from humble beginnings, I know firsthand the importance of giving everyone an equal opportunity to access the American Dream. I don’t take lightly the opportunities I have been given or the fact that many people, black and white, fought for and sometimes died for me to have these rights. I also have serious concerns about the lack of progress that I have seen for many African-Americans and I blame some of that lack of progress on ineffective liberal policies that are based upon wanting to help those in need, but in many instances end up causing more harm than good. Great strides. Charlotte explodes, Chicago burns, many other cities are rioting, and all we get from the left is excuse making and blame avoidance, etc. Your "strides" are making a move to hell and beyond.
Although many African-Americans have made incredible strides in educational attainment we are still lagging behind in key indicators of success such as net worth, poverty rates, high incarceration rates and, as such, have some of the highest unemployment numbers. In addition we seem to be victims of a disproportionate amount violence. All of these issues are some of the most serious problems we face as a people and our culture of political correctness and liberalism has not only not solved them, but I believe has made them worse. I know many liberals who do incredible work to make the world around them better, and that’s not who I am talking about. Of course not. What would be the problem with minding your own business and letting people make their own decisions as they see fit without governmental interference?
I’m talking about the cocktail party liberals, the elites, who wear the cloak of liberalism to protect themselves from criticism and so they can keep a clear conscious. Your "culture" is ongoing assaults on the institutions of this country. It doesn't conform well with a civil society, but is congruent with a society at war with itself. You and your ilk are the aggressors. And honey, it is the booze that clears consciences. "Daddy drinks because you are a liberal."
My problem with Liberalism is that it’s more concerned with policing people’s language and thoughts without requiring them to do anything to fix the problem. White liberal college students speak of “safe spaces”, “trigger words”, “micro aggressions” and “white privilege” while not having to do anything or, more importantly, give up anything. "Open that wallet, will ya!"
They can’t even have a conversation with someone who sees the world differently without resorting to calling someone a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, bigot and trying to have them banned from campus, or ruin them and their reputation. That's what the left does.
They say they feel black peoples’ pain because they took a trip to Africa to help the disadvantaged, but are unwilling to go to a black neighborhood in the City in which they live. At least not without packing a 9mm, which liberals would never do. Icky guns, doncha know.
These same college students will espouse the joys of diversity, but will in the same breath assume you are only on campus because of affirmative action or that all black people grew up in poverty. My personal favorite is declaring with surprise how articulate a black classmate is despite the fact that we are attending the same institution of higher learning as they are. Me, too. Totally surprised at how articulate educated blacks can be. I guess I'm raciss.
I've come to be surprised when any college student is articulate. Texting and tweeting do not encourage a devotion to proper grammar, spelling, or developing a thought at length. I'd bet that if the writer listens closely to those classmates expressing surprise, it will quickly become evident they are not qualified to judge.
The White Liberal culture encourages talking about diversity and shaming others for their alleged racism, but many times they themselves work in environments that are mostly white.
This country is majority white, so it is not surprising that work environments are likewise.
When questioned they’ll defensively state that they promote strictly on merit. Black people aren’t suggesting that we want someone unqualified to get the position, but I find it telling that they assume that we are not qualified. Bwahaha!
These same Liberals are quick to be against school choice, while their kids go to private or well-regarded public schools. Leaving poor black children behind in underperforming schools and providing less opportunity to improve their lives is inconsequential to keeping true to their white liberal politics. Bwahaha!
This is precisely why conservatives push school choice and vouchers.
Many people are quick to espouse the political values of liberalism without having to live with the often harsh reality of those policies. Welcome to the real world of liberalism. I hope you enjoy your stay. I know I will.
Race, gender, religion and sexual orientation are such difficult discussions to have, and many of us don’t get it right, but my problem with some white liberals aren’t that they sometimes get it wrong, it’s their profound lack of self-awareness coupled with the smugness and self-righteousness that they use to lecture to others. And yet, you want to beat conservatives over the head for policies that they have said repeatedly don't help anyone but government.
White Liberals have hijacked the conversation about diversity, political correctness and what topics we should be outraged about. When a terrorist attack occurs the media and liberals rightly remind us that it’s unfair to judge an entire religion by the actions of a small minority, but I haven’t heard similar unequivocal statements made in the media about the African-American community being unfairly judged by the negative actions of a few. The media lectures about intolerance of the Right, but is the first to show the mugshot of a young black suspect while showing the much more positive yearbook photo of a young white suspect. That isn't what I have seen. How many times in the last few years have we seen media trying to beautify a black shooting victim, only to get to completely wrong? How many times more do we have to see physical attacks on other blacks that don't get publicized, unless it was a kop or a white attacker?
In fact the criminalization of African-Americans, especially men, has been turned into public policy in large part because of our negative portrayal in the media, which is predominantly filled with white liberal voices. Really? I want some of what you're smoking.
Don't like what you see? Get together a group of likeminded, talented people, and produce something better. Then make pots of money selling it. That's how those other guys got where they are today.
For so long, as a Black American, I have been told that the problem is Conservative Republicans. While I’ll admit they may have done little to try to improve African-American lives,
...preferring to do the things that improve everyone's lives including African-Americans...
they also don’t promise to every election season like the liberal elites. Instead we have given our loyalty and votes to Democrats, who paternalistically tell us they want to help us, but we have little to show for it since blacks started voting Democrat back in the 1960’s. I have never lived in a city as an adult that was run by Conservatives or Republicans, but I live in the biggest poor city in the country, Philadelphia. A city, for decades, run by liberal insiders. Your whole premise is wrong. It is not the job of government to "help blacks." It is supposed to be their job to ensure the starting points are equal, and to stay out of the way as jobs are created and the economy grows. But instead, we have suffered through 12 plus years of gross government interference and governmental policies aimed at "helping blacks", when the only thing they have done is hurt everyone. Just as long as whitey gets his, right?
The City of Philadelphia is going through a Renaissance thanks to the demand of young White millennials who want to live in vibrant urban areas. We have a thriving higher education community, one of the country’s best restaurant scenes and home values and rent prices are going up while 10 year property tax abatements make owning new and renovated homes in the City an attractive financial investment. We are an unapologetically liberal city and you cannot be elected in this City without black voters. But why is it that the black community is not benefiting from this same Renaissance as their white liberal counterparts? No idea, except if blacks are waiting for the government to make their lives better, they are doing it wrong.
While the children of our liberal contemporaries attend expensive private universities, how many black men are getting pulled into the prison system because of stop and frisk searches in these supposedly liberal cities? How many so called white liberals have really fought for those civil rights violations to be ended? My own city has a stop and frisk policy in place (even after promises of stopping it), but is also a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants. It’s ironic that the liberal elites proudly proclaim the inhumanity of deportation which could break up the families of these immigrants, but they are more than happy to justify the need to send black men and women to prison for minor infractions, thus separating the families of American citizens. Where is the outrage for our families? Oh yeah, you can take the African-American vote for granted, so you don’t need to do more than pay lip service to our concerns. Oh, you were done? Allow me to retort just as soon as I finish laughing.
White liberals posting on Facebook about #blacklivesmatter, white privilege and supremacy are not cleansed of their hypocrisy and elitism because they use the right hash tags. I would urge these same people to get off their iPhones and look around to see the issues they ignore in their own lives. Looking up from an iPhone? The deuce you say! And BTW, blacks are even worse about their noses being buried in their phones.
If you’re one of these people, before you cry out in offense, ask yourself where you chose to live and how many of your neighbors, that you know, are people of color. Where do your kids go to school? I'm flat surrounded by them. It's Indian country where I live and work.
I live in a middle class neighbourhood. All those around me, white, black, or purple, are middle class people with middle class virtues, except for the one Section 8 apartment complex which contains people who are as white, black, or purple as the rest of the community.
Who are your friends and colleagues? Who do you see next to you while you’re in your meeting at work? What have you done to change those inequalities? My neighbors don't control or discipline their hellspawn. How the hell is changing that my job?
Have you recommended a black friend for a job at your company, or told them about a house for sale in your neighborhood or recommended a talented black child go to your child’s school? Answer these questions honestly and you’ll realize that you might not be who you think you are when it comes to racial issues in this country. Are you are part of the group I’m referring to as smug white liberals and you don’t even know it?
If I were to ask what issues of the Democratic Platform from this Presidential Election would address the issues of the African-American community I’m assuming most liberals would point to criminal justice reform. Going smooth out of business would be a good place to start, but do go on.
However, the push for criminal justice reform is coincidentally occurring parallel to the epidemic of opioid abuse in white communities. Criminal justice reform == not getting arrested == not getting your ass kicked/shot
I would argue this is what is actually driving the policy shift from incarceration to treatment, because the sweeping tragedy of drug abuse that has gripped the black community for the last 30 years, is now affecting the same liberal elites that referred to our family members as predators and criminals rather than addicts deserving of compassion. Heh
Suggesting that blacks stop being Democrats or Liberals would be a waste of my time, but what I am suggesting is that we require white liberals to do more than pat us on the head and tell us they know better. Free programs aren’t enough, nor are they actually free for African-Americans. How many stories have we heard of African-Americans being excessively fined for minor civil infractions or misdemeanor criminal matters?
Ah yes, the peril of being poor, which hits all poor people unfairly.
Those fines are used for running a system that not only doesn’t work for our community but many times exposes us to a criminal justice system that causes us to become unemployable or financially decimates our families. Programs that "help blacks" are extracted out of taxpayers by force. Tell me how whites should continue to support this gross violation of civil rights, while blacks complain about their status in life by committing even more gross civil rights violations against taxpayers.
Remember Eric Garner, the man in New York that died from a chokehold for selling loose cigarettes? That enforcement order was created during Democratic Mayor and Democratic Governor’s administrations. I’m sure that they believed that the revenue generated by the cigarette tax would fund important programs for the poor, but there was a real cost to African-Americans in the community who were fined, harassed, incarcerated and, in the case of Eric Garner, died over a tax. Let’s not forget the 10 year tax abatement that brings wealthy white liberals to the City, but increases the taxes for many poor home owners of color making it prohibitively expensive to stay in neighborhoods where they may have lived for decades. Governmental edicts that affect markets are by their very nature contradictory and poor public policy.
We need results not more empty promises. We need to take a serious look at the policies that will truly make it possible for blacks to attain better job opportunities, stronger families, safer neighborhoods and better schools. Reduce the size, scope and power of government, and stop electing liberals and Democrats is a good place to start.
If we continue to align ourselves with liberal elites that lecture about the evils of discrimination, but don’t want to see us as their boss (or even colleague), competing for opportunities against their children, or as their neighbors, then we need to look at what other groups can offer the African-American community in terms of opportunities or effective policies that will allow us to prosper.
Check out the conservatives. We're already doing the things you say you want.
If the only conversation we’re requiring them to have about us is about keeping us out of prison or getting less jail time, then we are so far behind that I am not sure that we will ever catch up. It has taken three solid generations of these policies to get to where we are: robbing taxpayers and passing the proceeds to those who won't work, and calling it social justice
We must take control of the narratives about our issues because white liberals are talking about things that may make you feel better, but are not improving the quality of life for your family or our community. Anyone that would tell your children to do something that they wouldn’t tell their own child is not your ally. While these conversations, driven by the elites, are seemingly sympathetic, they will only keep our children at the bottom, and uncompetitive to their own children.
The truth is that Liberalism is about making elites feel better about themselves and their lives without requiring the underlying action of significantly improving the lives of African-Americans. Hillary Clinton rightly says that it’s not about what you say about problem, but you should be judged by what you are doing to solve the problem. In this election, let’s take her at her word and take a deeper look at what Liberalism is really doing for us.
Do an Alinsky on Hillary Clinton by demanding she live up to her stated standards? A brilliant idea -- you'll yet realize you have actually been a conservative all along, dear Writer.

One of the things that always attracted me to the party were the ideals of equality, fighting for the little guy and our openness to differing opinions You fell for that line of B.S. Man, did you ever get suckered. Now, that your eyes are beginning to open, what are you going to do about these problems? Hope you don't join some Soros-backed lefty group such as BLM and be used as a tool. Agreed, the Pubs haven't done much either. Those in government seem to be afraid to rock the boat and yeah, they seem to be more a part of the Beltway Party with the exception of a few. The Beltway Party, if you might not have heard the term is the Party that consists of both Donks and Pubs who are more concerned with life-time jobs and getting rich off the government. The Pubs seem to be less corrupted than the Dems but this could be an illusion. Sad state, eh? Presently, the Dem Party as exemplied by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Obama, Kaine, Hillary Clinton, etc. are not looking out for you or the rest of us for that matter. These people would rather lie than tell the truth to conceal what they are really about. You might consider joining the large numbers of "deplorables" who are hopeful that they might have a champion in Trump--these are the people who are the legions of the fed up and pissed off if you have wondered. They are tired of seeing the cancerous rot gnaw at the country from the inside out. Americans are tired of being screwed and their industries and jobs being farmed out to other countries. They are tired of seeing the country and its wealth sold out to people who are hostile to us and in some cases our enemies. There are no guarantees though. The best way to stop this crap is to become involved and to be informed and to demand that your politicians actually represent you rather than special interests. In other words, do what's right for the country rather than what is good for a Party, a politician, special interests, or some hyphenated group of people in the U.S.A. Take a chance. What have you got to lose? Our country was built by risk-takers; not the timid.

No amount of 'concern' or money will fix the problem until the community looks in the mirror to see why they're behind many other communities in the metrics you identify and take responsibility for their own acts that limit or destroy opportunity. BTW, do those White Liberal Democrats show as much 'concern' or shower as much money on poor whites who are just about twice the number as in your self identified community? They write off those 'deplorables', even when they've been a reliable source of votes.

Two things jump immediately to mind as I read this whinge:
1) When you hear hoof beats think horses not zebras.
There is a reason that your community breeds the majority of criminals and 70% unwed parents.
2) Reynolds’ Law
The government decides to try to increase the middle class by subsidizing things that middle class people have: If middle-class people go to college and own homes, then surely if more people go to college and own homes, we’ll have more middle-class people. But homeownership and college aren’t causes of middle-class status, they’re markers for possessing the kinds of traits — self-discipline, the ability to defer gratification, etc. — that let you enter, and stay, in the middle class. Subsidizing the markers doesn’t produce the traits; if anything, it undermines them.
I dub this Reynolds’ Law: “Subsidizing the markers of status doesn’t produce the character traits that result in that status; it undermines them.”
[Breitbart] VIENNA - The European Union should set up a "giant refugee city" on the Libyan coast and process asylum claims from refugees arriving from Africa there with the help of a new Libyan government, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban proposed on Saturday.
Speaking in Vienna after a summit of European and Balkans countries on the refugee crisis, Orban said the European Union’s external borders should be under "total control" ‐ including the Mediterranean border, in which Libya is instrumental.
Libya’s unity should be preserved, the Western arms embargo against it cancelled, the "Libyan liberation army" supported and a new Libyan government set up and brought into a cooperation agreement by the time migration picks up again next spring in the Mediterranean, he said.

And just how many refugees/migrants/what ever you want to call them has the source of all this trouble taken in? A source that occupies a large part of Arabia.
She's done herself no favors with her gun control stance, her proposed estate tax/death tax increase (impact on farmers), and comments on coal miners. Points I hope Trump employs at the debates.
#3
These leftists know nothing but "gun control" to solve everything. You wind them up and this is the nonsense they spout. You know they want a disarmed country so that they can run rough-shod over its populace and ram everything down your throats which they deem good for you. They care little for a Republic/Democracy form of government--in fact most of them despise it.
[NYPOST] There’s been lots of speculation about the fate of the Republican Party if (as most of the prognosticators expect and hope) Donald Trump loses. There’s been less speculation, though recent polling suggests it may be in order, about the fate of the Democratic Party if Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John Foster Dulles ... loses.
Certainly there’s reason to think -- or fear -- the Republican Party will change. Republicans likely won’t supply the bulk of support for free-trade agreements as they increasingly have for 40 years. Prominent Republicans probably won’t press for mass legalization of illegal immigrants colonists, as they did in 2006, 2007 and 2013.

Any party, if in power long enough, becomes corrupt.

Wishful thinking. With the universities (esp law schools that provide our judges), mainlining media, and the bureaucracy on their side, they'll stay in the game for a long time.

Muslims begin moving to non-Muslim countries in increasing numbers and the beginning of cultural conflicts are visible, though often subtle.
- First migration wave to non-Muslim "host" country.
Appeal for humanitarian tolerance from the host society.
Attempts to portray Islam as a peaceful & Muslims as victims of misunderstanding and racism (even though Islam is not a ’race’).
- High Muslim birth rate in host country increase Muslim population.
- Mosques used to spread Islam and dislike of host country & culture.
- Calls to criminalize "Islamophobia" as a hate crime.
- Threatened legal action for perceived discrimination.
- Offers of "interfaith dialogue" to indoctrinate non-Muslims.
How many nations are suffering from Islamic infiltration? One? A handful? Nearly every nation? The Islamic ’leadership" of the Muslim Brotherhood and others wish to dissolve each nation’s sovereignty and replace it with the global imposition of Islamic sharia law. Sharia law, based on the koran, sira and hadith, condemns liberty and forbids equality and is inconsistent with the laws of all Western nations. As the author and historian Serge Trifkovic states:
"The refusal of the Western elite class to protect their nations from jihadist infiltration is the biggest betrayal in history."
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] If we believe in Leb as a democracy, we accept that Christian leader Michel Aoun ...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... becomes president if he is elected by a majority in parliament. Democracy obliges us to accept results no matter what they are. It means we must congratulate the new president, give him a chance to implement his plan, and help him whenever possible because Leb - like all countries - needs a president and the regulation of institutions’ work.
However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... in Leb we live a different reality that does not resemble democracy at all. The era of Syrian tutelage, which long controlled the presidency, seems to go on as Hezbollah has inherited its role and is telling the world and the Lebanese people: "Either elect Aoun or there will be no president."
Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem ... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies... reiterated this stance on Sunday: "He who wants to elect a president only has one path to take, and it leads to... Aoun. Superpowers, regional countries, the UN Security Council and the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... can’t alter this path. They’ve tried to do so for more than two years now, and haven’t achieved anything... The region’s developments, whether negative or positive, can’t change this path."
I do not know if Hezbollah thinks it is serving Aoun with this provocative and snobbish approach - which does not take anyone inside or outside Leb into consideration - or whether it is adopting a policy of burning him by increasing others’ intransigence, so it eventually tells him: "We did what we were supposed to do but couldn’t achieve any results."
If Hezbollah really wants Aoun as president, it should negotiate to help achieve this goal instead of taking to platforms and defying everyone. It has even lost those who could have met it halfway. It must also soften its sharp rhetoric against Arab countries. It must not hail insults and threats against them, then ask them not to object to its presidential candidate.
Hezbollah is harming Aoun and his history of struggle and domestic and foreign relations, and pushing others to reject him. If it manages to present him as a candidate by defying everyone, not via consensus, this establishes an era where Aoun’s failures almost precede his successes. Why does he accept all this? Is he not aware of what the "me or nobody else" approach means in the history of people and their countries?

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
[US Naval Institute] Recently, we asked LTG H. R. McMaster, USA, to host a Q&A with Fox News commentator MG Bob Scales, USA (Ret.), author of Scales on War: The Future of America's Military at Risk. Part I of their exchange follows.
