[BUSINESSINSIDER] Former Secretary of State 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 ... presented her plan to "rein in" Wall Street in a New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... op-ed published Monday.
Clinton, who has faced criticism for her ties to the financial industry, vowed to fight for "tough new rules" and to veto any legislation that attempts to weaken current Wall Street regulations.
The Democratic presidential front-runner presented a three-part proposal for how she'd treat Wall Street.
First, Clinton wrote, she'd create a "new risk fee" on the biggest financial institutions to discourage behavior that could jeopardize the broader economy.
"I would also ensure that the federal government has -- and is prepared to use -- the authority and tools necessary to reorganize, downsize and ultimately break up any financial institution that is too large and risky to be managed effectively," she added. "No bank or financial firm should be too big to manage."
Clinton said she would not endorse reinstating the Glass--Steagall Act, which separated commercial and investment banking. Both of Clinton's primary rivals -- 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... (I-Vermont) and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley ...former Democratic governor of Maryland and aspiring presidential candidate, known locally as The One-Man Economic Wrecking Crew. O'Malley was elected to his second term driven by union support and near-Stalinesque vote margins in Baltimore city (82%) and Prince George's County (88%). He presided over more than 40 tax or fee increases, including a rain tax and a flush tax... (D) -- have made the case that the Glass--Steagall regulations should return, but Clinton argued that it would have done little to prevent the 2008 financial crash.

When she makes statements that indict her own behavior so clearly (recall her comment about believing rape accusers) you know she doesn't mean it. A more obvious example of a politician lying (and in this case a crook too) is hard to conceive.

[POLITICO] Attorney General Loretta Lynch Monday appeared to recalibrate remarks she made last week that suggested the Justice Department could investigate speech deemed hostile towards Muslims. I can't tell the difference. They both act the same.
"Of course, we prosecute deeds and not words," she said at a press conference Monday to announce an unrelated civil rights investigation into the Chicago Police Department.
Some conservatives criticized Lynch for her comments to a Muslim civil rights group, where she lamented "the ability of people to issue hateful speech of all types from the anonymity of a screen."
Speaking to a Muslim Advocates dinner in Arlington, Va., Lynch affirmed that "this is a country that is based upon free speech." However, she went on to suggest that the Justice Department would "take action" when such speech "edges towards violence, when we see the potential to lift...that mantle of anti-Muslim rhetoric."

Now the campaign against the 'deniers' of the 'Religion of Peace'(tm).
[not that the historical fact that Buddhism and Christianity were originally spread by the word, while Islam was spread by the sword should ever be pointed out]

This administration and its lackeys have been putting mooslimb rights above American citizen's right since the beginning. Little surprise they keep doing it, even in broad daylight at this point.
[BREITBART] A new CNN poll shows Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Elihu Root ... struggling against her potential Republican rivals.
The poll of registered voters shows Clinton with slims leads over Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
and Jeb Bush. Ben Carson ... a neurosurgeon who is under the impression that being brilliant qualifies him to be president.... and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
edge Clinton in the hypothetical match-ups.
This latest CNN poll, obviously, is a snapshot of the current standings in the Presidential race. More interesting is the dramatic drop in Clinton's support over the fall. In some cases, she has lost more than 20 points relative to her Republican challengers.

Three dozen counties.
In the end, all the Dems have to do to get Hillary in the White House is win three dozen or so select counties in Virginia, Ohio, and Florida to have enough electoral votes to win.
They have the money of pretty much the entire IT, finance, education, and entertainment industries at their beck and call. If Erich Schmidt himself has to personally deliver a check for $100,000 to every undecided voter in those counties to bribe them to vote for Hillary, count on that happening.
The only way the Repubs win is if they play a perfect game, make NO mistakes, and have the Dems make some of their own. I wish it were otherwise. But I refuse to get excited about these polls.

ah, yes, but consider I had dinner last night with some friends who reported their friend, a lifelong (D)[female], was NOT going to vote for Bernie, and when asked about Hilly, said, "I don't LIKE her!" She said she would vote for Kasich.
I said, "But he's a Republican!" My friends just shook their heads in disbelief.
Just an anecdote, I know.

Best bet for the party, impeach O (you got lots of excuses), put Biden in place, run on the sympathy vote. It'll defuse some of the WTF agitation that motivates your opponents. Think strategically. Then again, stupidity isn't reserved for one party.

Sorry, false, manipulated poll. Try the one with a significant number of respondents -- Trump by big numbers. Anyway Cruz wants the TPP (he voted for TPA), he wants amnesty, he want bazillion H1b visas -- he is a uniparty plant. His wife is big-time globalist.
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.
