[Zero Hedge] This is serious. David Brock operates over a dozen pro-Clinton organizations from his office in Washington DC.
Uncovered records expose a constant flow of money between his organizations. Brock's unregistered Professional Solicitor, the Bonner Group, receives a 12.5% cut every time money is moved.
There's a reason why David Brock chooses to house an unregistered Professional Solicitor in his office to raise money for his conglomerate of Super PACs and non-profits.
Professional Solicitors are required to disclose their active solicitation contracts. Brock wants his unregistered solicitor, the Bonner Group, to keep their client list hidden for a very specific reason.
David Brock is laundering money. David Brock has 7 non-profits, 3 Super PACs, one 527-committee, one LLC, one joint fundraising committee, and one unregistered solicitor crammed into his office in Washington DC.
Uncovered records expose a constant flow of money between these organizations.
The Bonner Group, his professional solicitor, works off a commission. Every time money gets passed around, Bonner receives a 12.5% cut.
Nonprofits are required to disclose who they give cash grants to. But they aren't required to disclose who gave them cash grants. This weak system of one way verification is being abused by Brock. He’s been cycling money between his organizations for years, and the Bonner Group's 12.5% commission gets triggered after every pass.
In 2014, Media Matters for America raised $10,021,188.
The Bonner Group was credited for raising these funds. Media Matters paid them a $1,147,882 commission.

Media Matters for America is one of Soros organizations.
Eventually, someone is going to crack because they don't won't to be a punchboard in the shower in prison somewhere (However, some progs might like this).
Under the present administration or a Hillary admin., this criminality will never see the light of day but only get worse. Who gets screwed? The country and the American people.

I bet the Federal Form 990's being filed by the non-profits omit this 'professional solicitor' information as well (it's required to be disclosed on Schedule G of the Form 990).
[Breitbart] Donald Trump is criticizing Hillary Clinton over the fact that the Clinton Foundation is honoring a Palestinian teacher whose husband is a convicted terrorist on Tuesday evening.
Hanan an-Hroub is scheduled to speak at a Clinton Global Initiative event in New York after winning a $1 million teaching award from another charity that donates to the Clinton Foundation. Her husband, Omar al-Hroub, spent 10 years in an Israeli prison for his role in a 1980 bombing that killed six Israelis.
The event is going ahead as planned, in spite of the recent Islamist terrorist bombings in New York and New Jersey, which injured dozens.
The Wall Street Journal noted Tuesday:
Omar al-Hroub was convicted on charges that he was an accomplice in a deadly bombing attack in Hebron that killed Israelis walking home from Friday night Sabbath prayers. According to an Associated Press account at the time, Omar al-Hroub was a chemist who provided chemicals needed for making the bombs.
Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller said:
Today’s report that the Clinton Foundation is feting the wife of a Palestinian man convicted of helping bomb innocent Israeli citizens is deeply disturbing, especially in the wake of this weekend’s attacks. The decision to honor the wife of a terrorist by Hillary Clinton’s foundation shows a complete lack of judgment and a callousness that should disqualify her from holding the presidency.
The Republican National Committee has also reportedly objected.

#2 Fellow Tennessean, was there a time the camera was ever forgiving to Hillary Clinton--she's just not telegenic--even the camera doesn't like her.
I wonder if the eye movements are the result of some drug side effects or brain damage from earlier strokes or a tumor? Maybe she has saccadic eyemovement disorder; a symptom of a psychiatric disorder. Saccadic eye movement applications for psychiatric disorders. Saccadic eye movement appears to be heavily involved in psychiatric diseases covered in this review via a direct mechanism. The changes seen in the execution of eye movement tasks in patients with psychopathologies of various studies confirm that eye movement is associated with the cognitive and motor system.

Increased long term stress, loss of motor skills, apparent seizures, increased medication + aggregation of meds side effects, dehydration = breakdown approaching.
Election report from my area of Tennessee - Hillary has much less support than Obama did...over the weekend I canvased a large section of our area and observed only one 4x4 Hillary sign on an empty lot. In the spring there were several Bernie signs around the local college...when they came down...they were not replaced by Clinton signs. Tennessee will likely go 70-30 for Trump - a huge margin. I was not a Trump fan - voted elsewhere during the primary - but, will enthusiastically support Trump vice Clinton.

These are the rehearsed, sell the sound bit to the audience, meat of the speech.
Supposed to, according to current teleprompter culture, do the sweeping everyone agrees look, not the point and spot or do I look at the teleprompter now look. If she was trying to do the sweep and had landmarks/people to guide the eyes, she was getting stuck on the spots.
Focused on everything and nothing.
I know all the heads point and laugh at Trump being inexperienced with teleprompter chic, but as said, Clinton has always been bad in front of the camera, and here she is getting worse.
#13
I think she will probably be there but the scene might be like the Secret Service scene where they are propping her up before putting her in the medical van a.k.a an ambulance. I don't know whether she will make it through the debate though without a break.
#14
I think the unexpected cancellation of the fundraiser in NC and the absence from events the rest of this week reflects a decision to rest her for the Monday debate. She needs a lot of rest, and medical fortification for the event, especially since she is very prone to folding under actual confrontation either through leaving, or through anger. Since neither of those are possible, I wonder how narcotized she will look for the debate, how effective her reasoning and speech patterns will be if she is, and how much pancake makeup can be put on even with the trowel they use on her now. Look for the botox needle marks unless I miss my guess and hope someone does a comparative image analysis right after the debate to see how less wrinkled the beast is.....

Hil can't miss the debate and any stumble, cough or glitch will be fatal. The obvious answer: a body double. The TV folks, being in the bag, will play along. You can do a lot with lighting and makeup.
#17
They are saying the debate will get a massive audience. She doesn't dare miss it. I suspect if she uses a body double it will for cameras in the week before the debate so she can rest and have an earpiece surgically implanted.
[Dhaka Tribune] US election officials have known about the shortcomings of touch-screen systems since shortly after they were widely adopted in the early 2000s, when researchers showed that vote results could be manipulated with tools as simple as a magnet and a Palm Pilot-style handheld device.
The systems have produced questionable results in some elections. In Florida, more than 18,000 iVotronic machines did not record a vote in a 2006 congressional race in which the margin of victory was less than 400 votes. In Fairfax County, Virginia, electronic machines subtracted one vote for every hundred cast for one candidate in a 2003 school-board race. More than 4,400 electronic ballots in Carteret County, North Carolina, were lost and never recovered in the 2004 presidential election.
Since 2008, states such as Maryland have traded in their touch-screen machines for optical-scan systems. Others like Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and Ohio have added printers to their touch-screen machines which produce a backup paper trail, while Washington and Colorado moved to mail-in ballots. Absentee balloting is also cutting into the use of paperless systems. In 2012, for example, roughly 1 in 10 voters who lived in areas that used paperless systems cast absentee ballots.

Call me old fashioned. But I miss the old lever machines.

I actually like Colorado's electronic voting machines. Not only to they verify what you are voting several times (are you really sure you voted for THAT person?) they print out a paper receipt that shows how you voted and the time.
At any time you can take your receipt down to the records office and check your vote against what is on record.
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan harshly criticized US President Barack Obama this week, accusing him of supporting Israel and the gay community instead of the black community.
You've been delusional for decades - always nice to see a little consistency in this crazy world.

Obama did basically nothing for Homosexuals either, homosexuals gained ground on his watch but I don't think he did squat one way or the other.
He actively damaged the black community by choosing the black side in several high profile issues that turned out to not so clear cut once all the facts were in.
[American Lookout] Whoa! Hold the phone! There are few institutions, in America, more liberal than our educational system, and our colleges and universities are at the top of that list. So it’s hard to see why would a black professor at one our most prestigious universities blast the Progressive in Chief? Well, this one did and he let Obama have it on the subject of the black vote. Princeton Professor Eddie S. Glaude Jr.
Suggesting that failure to vote Clinton would insult him, as if that were the biggest issue on the minds of the black voters, Obama stuck his foot in it as he inevitably disenfranchised the very people he needs to get behind Clinton.
Grabien News published an excerpt of his MSNBC interview where he rips Obama!
GLAUDE: "They’re getting a little wobbly but they’re still still sturdy. (Laughter) And part of -- you know, I am really -- I was really annoyed actually by the president’s speech."
SCARBOROUGH: "Were you really? I thought that was inspiring."
GLAUDE: "Well, you know, I think part of what we see is that the Clinton campaign made a bad decision. They spent most of the summer trying to court disaffected Republicans and taking their baits for granted. And I said on this show that how what would happen as she was getting the endorsement of Bush Republicans and the like, how would that excite those folks who were supporting Bernie Sanders? How would that excite Latino, how would it excite voters African-American voters? And so, now, what do we get? Instead of a series of rationale arguments from the president to black political -- to black voters, we get, you know, don’t insult me."

[W]hat would happen as she was getting the endorsement of Bush Republicans and the like, how would that excite those folks who were supporting Bernie Sanders? How would that excite Latino, how would it excite voters African-American voters?
Sounds like the Perfesser is unhappy that the campaign went "off the reservation."
[GP] Hillary Clinton canceled her appearance tonight at a fundraiser in North Carolina.
No reason was given for the postponement of the Clinton event. Zero Hedge reported:
If there was a time Hillary needed to make a public appearance in the key battleground state of North Carolina to drum up voter support, it was today, if for no other reason than a just released Elon University poll finding Trump now has a modest 44% advantage among likely voters in the Tar Heel State, with 43% going to Clinton.
According to the poll, most voters felt Trump would be better for rich people, white people and men, while most believe Clinton would be better for poor people, women and minorities. "This election is so tight right now, that small swings of a few points should be expected between now and November," said Jason Husser, assistant professor of political science at Elon and director of the Elon University Poll. "North Carolina has been extremely important over the last several election cycles with very tight election outcomes. These numbers suggest that will continue to be the case, and both campaigns would do well to continue to focus on the Old North State."
It’s not just the closeness of the poll that makes NC so critical; it’s also Trump’s recent rebound, which as shown in the following chart from Real Clear Politics has him taking the lead for the first time since late June.
Which is why we find it surprising that with Hillary’s desperately needing to make an appearance, overnight CBS reported that Clinton campaign officials said that a Tuesday fundraiser in Chapel Hill was postponed.

I guess that would be a bit awkward to have a convention whose party endorsed and embraced the BLM movement when a couple blocks away BLM is burning down the house.
[ISRAELNATIONALNEWS] If you missed me at Barbra Streisand’s NY soiree to raise money for 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. ... , well, I wasn’t invited. I never am. For this one especially I was snubbed because I happen to be among the "basket of deplorables" that Hillary mentioned when it was her turn to speak to a roomful of progressive sharpies.
I am not rich. I am not famous. No luck. No chance.
I am guessing that you were also skipped over since, according to Hillary, half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable ‐ and that amounts to millions of us across the country that don’t sing for a living, as Streisand does. She sang, "Send in the Clowns," which was meant to be a gag on Trump and a dig on you and me.
They laughed and a good time was had by all.
A couple of days later Hillary fainted and had to be dragged into her limo.
Since then she’s been recovering. But the rest of the country has still not recovered from her accusation that we, the common folk, the deplorables, are racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic and Islamophobic. That’s me all right. I will tell you why in a minute after I remind y’all that the attendees were the high and the mighty and to borrow a term, deplorably Liberal.
This means that they are ever mindful of being superior. Only they wear designer jeans and fly in and out by gas-guzzling private jet.
That must have been some price of admission to hear Hillary speak and Babs sing. The event was staged for moneybags only, not for the off-the-rack set.
Yes, finally, Greed is Good ‐ if you are a Liberal. For Conservatives, wealth is forbidden.
Since I wasn’t there, I can’t say what the ladies were wearing, but I assume it wasn’t the burka, or the burkini that’s been making the headlines.
So here’s a headline that turns people like me into all of the above, islamophobic and all the rest ‐ Obama is bringing in more than 100,000 refugees from Syria. Recall that for about a year the talk was about 10,000 and people thought that was too much.
We do not know what else he has in store now that his time in the White House is running out, but bringing in 100,000 new Democrats appears to be his next trick. Even members of his own administration admit that those multitudes may be stacked with ISIS.
That does not seem to trouble Liberals. As one of them said on CNN, "It’s all about winning and whatever it takes to win."
Also, whatever it takes to change our culture from Judeo-Christian to something resembling Merkel’s Germany.
So we could be talking about a million more migrants colonists from New York to LA by the time Obama leaves office, ready, set, go for Hillary.
We can’t be sure about these people bringing with them the disease of ISIS, but the disease of anti-Semitism, that’s for sure. This means that the BDS storm troopers bullying Jewish kids on campus will be joined by reinforcements. There is so doubt about this at all.
Now Barbra -- have you ever heard her sing Avinu Malkeinu? Even Hatikvah? Beautiful. Such naches.
Well that was before that particular synagogue, where the people kvelled, was turned into a mosque.
At this rate, like it or not, Streisand will start singing a different tune. Does she know the lyrics for Allahu Akbar?

[NYPOST] Poor President B.O.. He had a perfect plan -- to use his final UN speech Tuesday to secure his reputation for putting Globalism First. He would preen to the assembled autocrats and babus bureaucrats about forcing America to take in a record number of refugees, and blast Donald Trump for putting America First. In the Wonderful World of Obama the Name equals the Thing. The America First Committee (AFC) was the foremost non-interventionist pressure group against the American entry into World War II. It had nothing to do with the Know Nothing Party, as far as I can tell. Peaking at 800,000 paid members in 450 chapters, it was one of the largest anti-war organizations in American history. It was founded at Yale University. Started on September 4, 1940, it was dissolved on December 10, 1941, three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor had brought the war to America. Donald Trump isn't selling their product. 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. ... also had a perfect plan. She would keep attacking Trump and his supporters as dangerous and deplorable in hopes that she could scare her way into the White House. With Obama playing the race card to help her with black voters, Clinton would wrap her arms ever more tightly around the president and his policies between now and November. Hillarity actually is selling B.O.'s product.
But terrorist bombings and stabbings are great disrupters, especially when they involve both New York and the heartland in a single weekend. The disruption becomes unbearable when the attacks allegedly are carried out by foreign-born Moslems who were welcomed here with open arms, then turned on their generous American hosts. But really, it has nothing to do with religion. Ask any politician... Events have a voice and a vote, and the terrorism in Minnesota, New Jersey and New York is scrambling the presidential campaign. It also revealed Mayor Putz to be a horse’s ass as he twisted himself into a pretzel to deny calling the Manhattan bomb a bomb and terrorism terrorism. New Yorkers know that when a bomb goes off on a public street and another one is disarmed nearby, it’s terrorism, stupid. If you don't say the Thing's name it's not really the Thing.
While the scramble for political safe spaces is still under way, the advantage so far clearly belongs to Trump. His gut instinct to call the Saturday bombings what they were, combined with his demand that refugees and immigrants colonists from countries with a history of terrorism be given tougher scrutiny, fit the nation’s mood and the facts. Same idea: You don't say the Thing's name, it's not the Thing, so it can't be a Fact.
Is there any doubt he’s right when he says political correctness has handcuffed law enforcement and that more attacks are coming? Or that his backing by numerous law enforcement groups reciprocates his support for them? It is a potent message when Americans believe they are less safe than they were eight years ago. Mainly beause we're not. This past weekend was just a part of the beginning -- it's gathering speed.
The result of the mayhem and Trump’s boldness is that Obama and Clinton are playing defense. That's defense against Trump, not against Murderous Moslems... The president hoped to avoid saying anything Monday, no doubt viewing the attacks as a distraction from the lofty thoughts he wants to express at the UN, but events forced him out of his hidey hole. If you don't notice it, it didn't happen.
His press secretary inadvertently added to the pressure with one of the dumbest statements possible. Josh Earnest declared that America is in a "narrative battle" with the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... , as though it’s a war of words. It is, kinda. They holler "Death to the Infidels!" The Obamae holler "Don't listen to Trump!"
Right, we throw adjectives and they throw bombs. B.O. did call them the JV team once. That's kinda like the Choom Gang of the Islamic world. When Obama did speak, he was perfunctory, warning the media not to rush to judgment and refusing to call the bombings terrorism, though he did say the Minnesota stabbings were a "potential act of terror." po·ten·tial adjective
1.having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.
"Potential"? The Somali-born attacker reportedly referenced Allah, and the Islamic State hailed him as one of its "soldiers." Of course, if he had used a gun, Obama would have lectured about gun control. "Potential" means it hasn't happened yet. If you don't utter the Name, the Thing doesn't exist. Until you utter the Name the Thing remains Potential, unless you refuse to notice, in which case the Thing doesn't exist.
As it was, the president shifted into platitudes about the nation not being shaken, blah, blah, blah. It’s nice to say and think, but it’s simply not true. If you utter the Name the Thing comes into existence. If you say "The Nation Remains Unshaken" then it becomes TRVTH whether the Nation is Shaken or not.
Where is my family, where are my friends -- that’s what every sensible person thinks when a bomb goes off or the shooting starts. Given the Islamic State’s barbarism and the damage that an inspired individual or small cell can inflict, fear is not just inevitable, it’s rational. But you can't go blaming Moslems for what adherents to their religion do. You can't hate the Japanese for Pearl Harbor, or the Germans for the Lusitania or the Turks for the Gates of Vienna. The country is shaken, afraid that terrorism is the new normal and that our politicianship is too timid to defeat it. Granted, it’s a difficult enemy, but hardly on the level of Nazi Germany or fascist Japan. Right up there with both of them.
That fed-up mood is a burden for Clinton because she is so linked to Obama. Her apologists keep promising that her inner hawk will surface and she will move away from Obama on national security, but she either didn’t get the memo or can’t recall it. When you're lucky enough to get old sometimes you're unlucky enough for your mind to go.
Instead, she camouflages her predicament by turning up the rhetoric on the risks of Trump, saying recently that the Islamic State prays, "Please, Allah, make Trump president." She went there again Monday, calling her opponent is "a recruiting sergeant for the terrorists." Perhaps the Islamic State should be careful what they wish for.
It’s catnip for the left-wing media, but her own answer to the challenge falls far short. She demanded that Americans show "courage and vigilance," and not demonize Moslems. That’s all she’s got?
Be kind to our Fine-turbanned friends,
'Cause Abdul could be somebody's mother.
He lives in a Salafist swamp,
Where the rhetoric is always damp!
(doodly oot-doot-doo!)
In fact, that’s exactly what most Americans have been doing for 15 years, and because it’s not sufficient, they want the next president to get tougher on terrorism. Trump pledges he will, while Clinton sounds a wobbly, uncertain note. She’s the one who needs to show courage.

[MEDIAITE] During a Florida congressional debate, the audience began to jeer and guffaw after one of candidates said he was voting for Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John C. Calhoun ... because of her honesty.
Republican Florida Congressman David Jolly is locked into a heated race with former Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democratic governor Charlie Christ in Florida’s 13th district. Monday night, the two candidates debated for the first time at St. Petersburg College.
"I am proud of Hillary Clinton. I think she’s been a very good Secretary of State, a very good senator from the state of New York," Crist said when asked if he would vote for his party’s candidate. "The thing I like most about her is she is steady. I believe she is strong. I believe she is honest." It was the last remark that caused a sudden swell of laughter.
Crist has an interesting history of debate antics, twice almost causing his debates to be cancelled by insisting on using a small portable fan, even when its use was against the rules.

"I am proud of Hillary Clinton. I think she’s been a very good Secretary of State, a very good senator from the state of New York," Crist said. Ordinarily, uttering such nonsense would be enough to knock you out of a race. Note that Criss has ceded control of his brain over to the Donk Party--just talking points for a brain. Criss is like Hillary; the other guy/gal has to be better than them.
