[The Mail] 'Don't cross them, otherwise a door in the floor opens up': MSNBC host warns about the Clinton revenge machine
MSNBC host Alex Wagner said Thursday morning that Democratic politicians are treading lightly around Hillary Clinton out of fear that failure to enthusiastically endorse her could bring dire consequences.
'The fear mongering around the Clintons [is] like, "Don't cross them, otherwise a door in the floor opens up,' she said.
Clinton, along with her husband the former president, reportedly build an 'enemies list' after she failed to win the Democrats' presidential nomination in 2008, keeping tabs on all the people they believed had betrayed her by siding with Barack Obama. Should read 'updated enemies list.'

If after 8 years of constant denial, obfuscation, and theatrical impeachment, the captains of the American political process and voters desire yet another Clinton, we are doomed.
I'd say Psychotrail, a long trail of psychopathic actions and events which eventually show their complete lack of any empathy for anyone not supporting their activities.

Only hypocrisy is if was about a principle other than the attainment and retention of power by any means necessary. Remember one of the fundamental rules of the Left - one set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee.
Despite doomsday warnings from the White House and lawmakers on both sides that hundreds of thousands would lose their jobs as a result of the sequester, it turns out the budget cuts have only led to one job being lost among 23 federal agencies.
Now Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., is demanding answers as to why the Obama administration repeatedly warned taxpayers that the $85.3 billion in spending cuts, which went into effect in March 2013, would threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs. The findings were revealed in a government watchdog report.
"Taxpayers expect us to root our predictions in fact, not ideology and spin," Coburn said Wednesday in a letter to Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Matthews Burwell.
In response, OMB spokesman Steve Posner said in a statement to FoxNews.com there is "no question" the sequestration has had an negative impact on Americans, pointing out the report also states that employees had their hours reduced and agencies were forced to curtail hiring as a result of the cuts, among other examples.
The March report by the Government Accountability Office describes how 23 agencies and departments -- which appear to span most of the federal government -- complied with the cuts. Only one, the Department of Justice, decided to lay off a single employee in fiscal year 2013.
A spokeswoman for the GAO told FoxNews.com the DOJ reported that the laid-off worker was from the the U.S. Parole Commission, but they had no other information about the employee. Virtually every other arm of the government turned to tactics like cutting overtime, reducing employee travel and putting workers on furlough to avoid actual firings.
The report is a stark contrast from the dire predictions from the Obama administration and Democratic leadership, who blamed Republicans for the cuts.
[FOREIGNAFFAIRS.HOUSE.GOV] Today, Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, announced that Friday morning the Committee will consider H.Res. 573, legislation that condemns Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... 's abduction of female students in Nigeria.
Chairman Royce is an original cosponsor of the legislation. Earlier today, he sent a letter to Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, in which he announced that he will convene a hearing to examine the Administration's response to the abhorrent and appalling kidnappings of hundreds of young Nigerian girls by the terrorist group Boko Haram. In the letter, Chairman Royce urged the Administration to "facilitate strong intelligence sharing and an advice-and-assist role for the U.S. military to work with Nigeria to combat Boko Haram." That word you're probably searching for right now is "tepid."

The kidnapping of the girls is 6th century fundamentalist Islam. The girls are now wives of the the raiders and others back at the base. They are the reward for loyalty to raiding and killing for "Alah". Not that they should not be rescued, but trying to shame Boko Haram Islamists into returning the girls most likely will not happen.

Hillary had the chance to list Boko Harum as a terrorist group while Secretary of State and did not.
Yet another foreign policy victory for the Obama administration. These folks are so wise, so prescient, so competent.

Race and gender hustlers - NB, this is what the people, who you disparagingly heap the term 'privilege' upon, keep so many thousands of miles away from your doorsteps. This is what the world has been for thousands of years. You live in a very small bubble of the one percent of history.
Myself, I would say this whole episode is like yelling "Squirrel" in crowded theater, all the nuts start running around.
Yet in essence I must agree with P2kontheroad, the Hausa tribe (mohamadeans) aka Boko Haram have been doing these tribal raids for brides for centuries. Nothing new here, just has grabbed the attention of the shallow western media, and frankly to apply logic of the former Secretary of State Clinton - "What difference does it make now."

One last correction. Very long week. Option 2 you should click the first symbol from the right at the bottom of the Rantburg comment box. Rantburg creates the code in the comment box. You enter the image URL after the src= tag.
