[DAILYCALLER] A pro-Sen. Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... super PAC founder isn’t letting fraud charges or outstanding warrants get in the way of his new lobbying and fundraising ventures.
Cary Lee Petersen registered two PACs -- the Alliance for Disabled Inmate Abuse and Democrats Socially United -- with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in June. Days before, he was released on $200,000 bond over alleged securities fraud activities predating his February, 2015, entrance into presidential politics, according to Legistorm.
Petersen, from Texas and Arizona, registered as a lobbyist for the inmate PAC so he could advocate for, "political and community awareness on disabled inmate abuse," according to the disclosure form Legistorm obtained.
Petersen is charged with two counts of certification falsification and one count of securities fraud for claiming on Securities and Exchange (SEC) forms in 2012 and 2013 that his RV business (RVPlus Inc.) had multi-million-dollar contracts with the Haitian, Nigerian and Liberian governments.
He claimed a nonprofit green energy ... the attempt to produce energy without using fossil fuel. The preferred methods are solar, wind, geothermal, phlogiston, philosophers' stones, and rattling bears' teeth. The approach with the most promise involves attaching generators to perpetual motion machines, but using Words of Power to summon energy-rich demons may also work. The green in the term refers to the vast number of greenbacks that have been thrown at the problem since 1973 with indifferent results... group he founded, ECCO2 Corp., was an "affiliate" organization with the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Convention on Climate Change. None of that was true, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). The SEC filed a civil complaint against him over the alleged securities fraud.

The Donkey Party "con" continues. When the rubes catch on to the con, you change the con. It is the Washington Way (much light the Chicago Way except the major leagues).
[DAILYSIGNAL] On Monday, a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused without comment to stay a Wisconsin district court opinion in One Wisconsin Institute v. Thomsen that threw out changes the state legislature had made in early voting rules as well as other changes such as the residency requirement for new voters.
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... the state’s voter ID law will remain in place for the November election because the district court judge, James D. Peterson, a President Barack Obama I am the change that you seek... appointee, stayed his earlier ruling against the ID law on Aug. 11.
Peterson didn’t have much choice on that issue: The same three-judge panel that refused to stay his overall ruling had issued a stay on the voter ID issue on Aug. 10 in a second district court case in Wisconsin, Frank v. Walker.
In that case, another federal judge, Lynn Adelman, a Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... appointee and former Democratic state senator, required the state to allow anyone who signed a form stating they could not obtain an ID to vote--despite the fact that Adelman admitted "most voters in Wisconsin either possess qualifying ID or can easily obtain one."

...required the state to allow anyone who signed a form stating they could not obtain an ID to vote...
Exactly how will the person filling out the form ID themselves, your Honor (sic)?
#2
It's simple. You don't have a valid ID, you fill out a paper ballot which is enclosed in a envelope with your claimed ID information. If the election is close enough, then the voter information is validated before being opened and counted in the final numeration for the election.
1 - they still get the vote.
2 - the information is validated prior to counting.
3 - the unvalidated votes show you why there are ID requirements.
Yesterday, Harry Reid met with the Reno Gazette-Journal editorial board. During the meeting, Reid attacked Patti Smith, the mother of Benghazi hero Sean Smith, calling the grieving mother "crazy" for her comments on Hillary Clinton.
Transcript:
Harry Reid: "For example at the national convention they had that poor Smith woman come out and say 'Hillary Clinton killed my son', how crazy!" Well, we agree on one thing, Dingy Harry: If Hillary's actions or inactions killed her son, that would be unforgiveable.
[Breitbart] Introduced by Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump, he told the crowd that UKIP and Brexit campaigners had defeated the UK political establishment including the big banks, the corporations, the political classes, the pollsters, and the "liberal elite" by talking to people about controlling their country, their borders, and having self-respect for themselves.
He hit out at U.S. President Barack Obama, who visited Britain during the campaign and threatened to send the country "to the back of the queue" for a trade deal with the United States if Britain voted for Brexit.
Mr. Farage has previously called Mr. Obama "despicable" and said he refused to repeat his behaviour by telling Americans how to vote.
But echoing his words from an earlier interview with Breitbart London, Mr. Farage said: "I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me. In fact, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if she paid me!"
The crowd, massively receptive to Mr. Farage’s comments, cheered repeatedly when he mentioned how they too could defeat the political status quo. Sounds like Mr. Farage has put together a fairly accurate assessment.
BLUF: [LI] Logically looking at the situation, Hillary should be playing to avoid turnovers and to run out the clock. Which according to Politico, is her strategy, Hillary Clinton's run-out-the-clock strategy:
"She is not planning on sitting for another televised armchair confessional to rehash regrets about a private email server. Nor is the campaign setting up the kind of war room employed last year to discredit a book that aimed to expose a quid-pro-quo relationship between Clinton Foundation donors and State Department officials.
With 75 days until Election Day and new emails once again casting a pall over her campaign, Hillary Clinton aims to “run out the clock,” confidants say, on the latest chapters of the overlapping controversies that have dogged her campaign since the start.
According to allies and operatives close to the campaign, Clinton’s team thinks “they can ride out” any negative reaction to a set of new emails that show Clinton Foundation officials trying to set up State Department meetings for donors during her tenure as the nation’s top diplomat.
“That doesn’t mean no response,” one Clinton team insider said, “but a muted one rather than a five-alarm fire.”
It’s a strategy borne, in part, of a belief held deeply by Clinton herself that the email controversy is a fake scandal and that voters are as sick of it as the candidate herself — and by the profound weaknesses of Clinton’s opponent." I look for a severe attack of Bronchitis on the eve of the first debate.

Running out the clock is only possible with the democrat/media complex running cover for her. Otherwise, she'd be awaiting trial at this moment.

HRC and Bill have been at this game for a very, very long time. They have obviously constructed elaborate alliances and safeguards on by sides of the political isle. Defeating the Rule of Law is their specialty.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Never in modern American political history has a more issue-oriented, serious candidate for president faced off against a more dishonest, platform-less, self-absorbed celebrity who is cashing in on ill-gotten wealth and fame despite serious concerns about mental and physical health.
The man all about issues, of course, is real estate developer Donald Trump. From the day he announced for the presidency, Mr. Trump has set the agenda.
In the primary, establishment Republicans would have been perfectly happy to just talk about proper politician temperament and nibbling around the edges of arcane education policy. Who has the best hair and most diverse looking families. Whose name sound the most Hispanic.
Mr. Trump crashed that party and declared that the primary would not be just another beauty pageant. It would be about securing the border to stop illegal immigration, tracking down and killing terrorists before they get into the United States and jump-starting the domestic economy.
Woven through his concrete policy positions was a new mantra of “America first,” both in terms of foreign policy and economic trade. This would mean an end to bipartisan military entanglements that do not directly strengthen the USA and the abandonment of trade deals that do not directly benefit America.

Yeah and Cher can be compared to the evil mother in "Mommy Dearest." It is good to shut your pie hole at times so that ALL doubt is not removed. C'mon, you are an aging singer; stick to singing--kick back and enjoy your retirement and quit shilling for evil.

I used to really admire Sonny Bono. He was a great song writer and an astute businessman who later on won election as the mayor of Palm Springs and then to the US Congress. During the first year of their TV show back in the 1970's they were one of the most compelling acts in the business. The show was a raving success. You'd think that a strong and intelligent woman would have seen the wisdom in sticking with it and working to resolve whatever issues Cher might have had with the man. But she bailed right at the pinnacle of their career. We could argue all day about how raising their daughter without a father affected the child's development. But I don't think there can be any argument whatsoever about who was the brains of that operation.

[Free Beacon] Capitol Hill could get awkward in September if the Senate Judiciary Committee calls for Mylan NV CEO Heather Bresch to testify. Bresch’s pharmaceutical company not only hiked the price of the EpiPen by 400 percent, but her father is Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.).
Despite Bresch’s family connection to Manchin, she is not being shielded from criticism. Lawmakers from both chambers of Congress believe that the price hike is detrimental to families who need the EpiPen to prevent life threatening allergic reactions, Bloomberg reported. Mylan used to charge $57 per shot for the EpiPen in 2007, but now they are charging over $600 for two auto-injectors.
"I am deeply concerned by this significant price increase for a product that has been on the market for more than three decades, and by Mylan’s failure to publicly explain the recent cost increase, which places a significant burden on parents, schools, and other purchasers of the EpiPen," Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.) said Tuesday in a statement, adding that he has a child with severe allergies.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.), who has asked the company to lower its prices, is holding an event Wednesday where he will call for the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate "potential antitrust violations and deceptive and illegal trade practices," Bloomberg reported.

With that much money in the epipen biz, you'd think other companies would be scrambling for a share. Prices would necessarily drop. What, do you think, is keeping them out?
Hmmm.

Merck held the patent for years. They spent large $$ developing and improving the unit, but it was only a small part of their overall market share. They didn't raise the prices for the improved devices accordingly, probably not wanting to have governments start prying into their other product pricing (don't believe they were just being benevolent).
Mylan bought the rights in 2007 as an investment (no R&D, just manufacturing on the cheap and sales). Guess what happened. They held the market and priced accordingly.
Typical Hedge Fund method of operation. Have you seen any new product improvements for these in the last 10 years? Didn't think so.
There are several in our family that have serious bee-sting allergies, and we have to change these things out every 18 months or so as their shelf life expires. They went from ~$80 to $300 apiece now. The alternative Adrenaclick (similar product by a different company) is still about $150 a pop.
Until the patent expires (and/or someone comes up with a decent alternative), we're having our physicians teach us how to do the injections with a cheap syringe and make up small 'kits' to carry around.

[Free Beacon] Recently released emails show that Jake Sullivan, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, researched a drug that is used to treat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, among other disorders, while Clinton was secretary of state and told her about his findings.
Sullivan, Clinton’s top foreign policy adviser, was researching the drug Provigil for Clinton at the State Department in 2011, the Daily Caller reported.
Sullivan emailed Clinton information on Provigil and told her about its use and history. Sullivan noted in an email that Provigil is used for narcolepsy and treating patients with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis who have excessive sleepiness.
Sullivan also noted that Provigil is often prescribed to treat "excessive sleepiness in patients with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis."
Common Side Effects of Provigil:
Headache, nausea, nervousness, dizziness, or difficulty sleeping, fast/pounding/irregular heartbeat, mental/mood changes (such as agitation, confusion, depression, hallucinations, barking, rare thoughts of suicide).

Getting her successfully across the finish line with Donald Trump in the rear view mirror is the obvious objective. After January 20th she can take up permanent residence at the Mayo Clinic. The libtards and oligarchs will have sustained control.

Provigil also given to military personnel who need to stay awake. This is a stay-awake pill.
It is *not* a primary treatment for Alzheimer, so stop it with tha t- find better evidence for it instead of posting distorted Trump supporter crap like this. You want Alzheimer meds, find a reference to Aricept or Namenda. You want to prove dementia, you'll have to do far better than this - its nowhere close to a smoking gun. the mention was in passing.
Here is something any good MD can tell you about it. With the academic citations to back it up.
Modafinil is a wakefulness-promoting agent (or eugeroic) used for treatment of narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, and excessive daytime sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea.

By the way the last reference there was for modafini1 use in nootropics, so called cognitive enhancers or "smart" pills. Their original purpose for research was for things like Alzheimer and dementia, but the focus has changed in the past decade and a half.
Maybe this is Hillary was wanting, to be smarter and sharper to keep her lies straight and not get caught - she is after all not that bright. Like a badger, not smart but vicious as hell.
As for the drug, ask any recent ER MD about how residency works and what medications are commonly used to combat screwed up schedules and long hours. Zo1pidem (Ambi3n) and modafini1 (Provigi1) will come up - so will arm0dafinil (Nuvigi1) the newer version with supposedly less side effect.
