[FOX] Newly released emails suggest a senior Hillary Clinton aide stage-managed her first hearing on the Benghazi terrorist attack by feeding specific topics Clinton wanted to address to Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, who at the time was acting chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.
"We wired it that Menendez would provide an opportunity to address two topics we needed to debunk (her actions/whereabouts on 9/11, and these email from Chris Stevens about moving locations,)" Clinton media gatekeeper Philippe Reines wrote to Chelsea Clinton the morning of the Jan. 23, 2013 hearing.
[NBCNEWS] 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 Edward Stettinius, Jr. ... struggled to fight back a coughing fit while campaigning in Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone, ...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... , Ohio, on Monday.
"I've been talking so much," Clinton said with a hoarse voice. "Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic."
The former secretary of state has suffered from coughing fits at times throughout the Democratic presidential primary, but has not had a public coughing fit recently. However the frog in Clinton's throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she's had during her 2016 run and left her almost unable to finish her remarks.
After the event, campaign aides attributed it to allergies. Allergens were high in Northeast Ohio on Monday, according to pollen.com.
Clinton's conservative opponents have sought to raise questions about her health, though they have produced no evidence to indicate she is unwell.

"Clinton's conservative opponents have sought to raise questions about her health, though they have produced no evidence to indicate she is unwell."
Producing evidence - I thought that's the job of the press..silly me. Investigative reporting now consists of "How was your Labor Day?" and other hard hitting questions.

#10 yes, certainly would be nice result. This is a spasmodic response. Singing, talking and yelling all will irritate vocalization process.The more she continues speaking the greater frequency of spasmodic attacks. Asthma, bronchitis and perhaps COPD will develop. Should she continue her days as a public speaker are numbered. Hallelujah!!!!.

It's lung cancer, and the telltale weight loss that chemo / radiation / surgery would produce has been ruled out by her handlers as too difficult to explain at this time.

And here I thought she wasn't going to do anymore campaign events until after the Debate, to "Rest". Keep pressuring her like this and she'll give out. I'm actually wondering about the debates, if Clinton can stand long enough.

Yeah, no new news, to us Ranters, but maybe there is some news to those who did not live it - the younger voters. So you gotta ask yerself - why is the Daily Mail running this old news now?

Russian hackers, Anthony Weiner.... Any media diversion from HRC's email or medical condition is probably a welcomed diversion to her campaign team.

Saddam's TV networks showed the movie 'Wag The Dog' over and over for a while after that, as I recall.

Wasn't Wag the Dog written during the Clinton Administration. I don't remember if it was about bombing Saddam or Bosnia but for many there was a pretty clear connection at the time.
[PJ] During the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama promised to "bankrupt" the coal industry. Since April of 2105, six major U.S. coal companies have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with the subsequent loss of more than 80,000 jobs.
The Daily Caller reports that 400 coal mines have been shuttered:
This Labor Day, America has 83,000 fewer coal jobs and 400 coal mines than it did when Barack Obama was elected in 2008, showing that the president has followed through on his pledge to "bankrupt" the coal industry.
A 2015 study found the coal industry lost 50,000 jobs from 2008 to 2012 during Obama’s first term. During Obama’s second term, the industry employment in coal mining has fallen by another 33,300 jobs, 10,900 of which occurred in the last year alone, according to federal data. Currently, coal mining employs 69,460 Americans, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Much of the blame for the job losses is targeted at federal regulations aimed at preventing global warming, which caused coal power plants to go bankrupt, resulting in a sharp decline in the price of coal.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte called Barack Obama I am the change that you seek... a "son of a whore" on Monday as he vowed not to be lectured by the US leader on human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... when they meet in Laos.
The acid-tongued Duterte bristled at warnings he would face questioning by the US president over a war against drugs in the Philippines that has claimed more than 2,400 lives in just over two months.
"You must be respectful. Do not just throw away questions and statements. Son of a whore, I will curse you in that forum," Duterte told a news conference shortly before flying to Laos to attend a summit.

Actually from some photos of Obama's mother on the internet... that might not be a curse - rather a description of the situation.
esp. Marshall Davis estate photos.
2) Here's a fun exercise to confirm Google's bias - go look up this story by searching for 'Duterte Obama', then add 'whore', letter by letter. Marvel at the suggested third word, and the obvious one which never appears, even when you fully spell out 'whore'. 219,000 estimated results and this is not even autofilled.
Pfft! He is his own world, nay, his own universe. You just don't understand greatness.

Another triumph for the All-Star Diplomacy Team of Kerry and Obama. The only people that like us are the Kurds and they haven't finished stabbing them in the back ... yet.

Everyone knows he's going to spend the rest of his presidency golfing and going through the motions so why talk to him. Any treaties will be held up or overturned. Allies don't trust him and enemies have an opportunity to embarrass him without cost.
