-Lurid Crime Tales-
McDaniel Supporters Barred From Reviewing Voter Rolls in Nine Mississippi Counties
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Lindsay Krout, a volunteer working in Mississippi, was barred from reviewing voter rolls in Lafayette County Mississippi Friday morning.

Lindsay said when she went to the Lafayette County courthouse this morning and was forced to wait for an hour. Then the county clerk told her the Secretary of State's office said the county had to redact the Social Security number and addresses from the voter rolls. The clerk said it will take until Wednesday to redact the information. And, the county will charge McDaniel supporters for the extra work.

Mississippi law states that the clerk must allow public viewing of the election documentation.

Lindsay said McDaniel supporters in Lowndes County and Lauderdale County faced similar pushback from the local officials. The clerks also said they would have to schedule the time so county officials could be present.

#4  And the GOP "leadership" that was so desperate as to hire Democrat apparatchiks to GOTV now has the gall to act surprised by voter fraud in the runout? Gimme a break. This election was dirty.

Haley Barbour and the puppeteers behind Cochran are running scared on this one - because the initial checks of just one county's voter records and rolls have produced 100's of improper votes allowed. Thats just one county. No wonder the GOP machine in Mississippi are trying to prevent We The People from looking at the voter rolls.

If the fraud is as large as first indicated, it could mean there are enough illegal votes to call the election into question. What happens after that?
Posted by: OldSpook || 06/28/2014 8:27 Comments || Top||

#5  I doubt anything will happen, Old Spook. Just because enough votes were questionable to change the election result does not mean you can assume they would have. Nullify the election and have a 'do-over?' Given who runs things, I can't see that happening. Cochran will be the certfied candidate and should lose in the general election when the 50% of the party he stiffed stay home or vote third party.

Rangel must amend financial disclosure form after failing to report all-expenses paid trip to China
[NYDAILYNEWS] Rep. Charlie Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Rangel
Congressman-for-Life from Harlem, who became what 20 terms in Congress turns you into ...
, fresh off a tight primary win, is scrambling to amend his annual financial disclosure form after failing to report an all-expenses paid junket to China last year.

While members routinely update financial disclosures, Rangel's mistake stands out because was censured by the House in 2010 for ethics missteps including accepting improper trips to the Caribbean that were improperly funded by corporate donors.

Rangel was part of a 10-member delegation from the Congressional Black Caucus who took a free trip to China last August. Rangel, a decorated veteran of the Korean War, also took a separate, solo trip to Seoul, South Korea.

Student Leaders Ask Hillary To Return 'Outrageous' $225,000 School Speaking Fee
[BUSINESSINSIDER] Two top student government leaders at the University of Las Vegas are requesting Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John Marshall ...
return the "outrageous" $225,000 speaking fee she reportedly will receive for an upcoming speech at the school in October.
In a video circulated by the national Republican Party Friday, Elias Benjelloun, the UNLV student body president, and Daniel Waqar, the student government's public relations director, slammed the university's foundation for paying Clinton so much for the event.

"We really appreciate anybody who would come to raise money for the university. But anybody who's being paid $225,000 to come speak, we think that's a little bit outrageous. And we'd like Secretary Clinton — respectfully — to gracefully return the money to the university or the foundation," Waqar said on the Nevada political program "Ralston Reports."
This is the sort of "student request" that makes us old faculty guys chuckle gently, sigh, and tussle their hair, after which we tell them that they have a lot to learn...

Border Resident: Nancy Pelosi Should Visit My Ranch
[DFW.CBSLOCAL] "I've had a 7-year-old little girl from El Salvador with her mother come to my front door just in dire need, lost, needing help," says Linda Vickers, who owns a Ranch in Brooks County. "They wanted to get a ride to Houston; they didn't want me to call border control. This ranchland is ruthless. It's deep sand; it's hot; it's humid; it literally sucks the life out of a person."

Vickers says even though her ranch is about 60 miles north of the border, bands of undocumented Democrats are still crossing onto her land by circumventing border patrol check points.

"I have a set of dogs here that are a deterrent and they tend to put some of these people in trees. I've even had an MS-13 gang member in a tree up here in front," says Vickers.

House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
is scheduled to travel to South Texas on Saturday to meet with immigrant children at a detention facility and be briefed about the ongoing humanitarian crisis along the Texas-Mexico border.

Vickers wishes Pelosi or a member of her staff would come to her ranch to see first hand what everyday Texans are going through.

"I'd have to ask my husband if he'd have Nancy Pelosi on the property first," says Vickers, who's also a member of Texas Border Volunteers. "No. We'd have her here."

Forgive me, I got carried away in my reverie.

Tipsy Hillary dubs Obama 'incompetent and feckless,' a national 'joke,' book claims
[WASHINGTONTIMES] In the world of gossipy politics, Edward Klein's new "Blood Feud" book is the gift that keeps on giving, the latest released excerpt pointing to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another James Baker ...
's supposed boozy rantings about President B.O. as a "feckless," inept leader.

Mr. Klein writes that Mrs. Clinton referred to Mr. Obama as "incompetent and feckless," and said he had "no hand on the tiller half the time," during a May 2013 dinner-and-drinks affair at a French cafe, Le Jardin Du Roi, located in the Westchester area of New York, the New York Postreported.

Mrs. Clinton, who had resigned as secretary of state months earlier, was asked by friends at the event to speak candidly about Mr. Obama, according to the book.

"When her friends asked Hillary to tell them what she thought — really thought — about the president she had served for four draining years, she lit into Obama with a passion that surprised them all," Mr. Klein wrote, citing unnamed sources.

"The thing with Obama is that he can't be bothered, and there is no hand on the tiller half the time," Mrs. Clinton reportedly said. "That's the story of the Obama presidency. No hand on the [expletive] tiller. Obama has turned into a joke."

Mrs. Clinton reportedly ranted about the IRS targeting of the tea party and the Justice Department's tapping of phone records from the News Agency that Dare Not be Named, the New York Post reported, citing Mr. Klein's book.

"All these scandals," she said, according to Mr. Klein's sources. "Obama's allowed his hatred for his enemies to screw him the way Nixon did. … [He's] incompetent and feckless."

However, the Hildebeast is an Alinsky desciple in a Pant-suit. And if you want to suck on that PC candycane you are welcome to it.

#10  Big Thromoth,

It was hard for the average American to get any info on Obama in those two elections with every news agency from here to Pravda running cover for him...that and various legal shenanigans to hide his true identity vis a vis his birth certificate and his college transcripts.
Posted by: Bill Clinton || 06/28/2014 12:09 Comments || Top||

#11  Actually, Pravda was a lot more truthful than the American press. They were calling him a communist in 2009. In 2012 they pointed out the Russian Communist party got 13% while the US Commies got 52% of the vote.

#12  My gut says that Mr Ed Klein's book is designed to inoculate her against the worst of the Obama policies.

"Mrs. Clinton reportedly ranted about the IRS targeting of the tea party and the Justice Department's tapping of phone records from the News Agency that Dare Not be Named, the New York Post reported, citing Mr. Klein's book."

All that is left is for her to mention she resigned over disagreements with the Presidency over the Benghazi deal but that she kept quiet out of loyalty to the President and her career will be totally laundered.

'The worst race-baiting ads I've ever seen'
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK]
They claimed that supporters of conservative McDaniel had connections to the Ku Klux Klan and that McDaniel had a 'racist agenda.' They also warned that black Democrats 'could lose food stamps, housing assistance, student loans, early breakfast and lunch programs and disaster assistance' if he were to become the Republican U.S. Senate nominee.

'Vote against the tea party. Vote Thad Cochran,' one ad said. 'If the tea party, with their racist ideas, win, we will be sent back to the '50s and '60s.'

MailOnline has learned that 'Citizens for Progress' is tied to a longtime Democratic political operative who was paid $44,000 to run racially explosive 'robocalls' in the same race.

A political action committee founded by former Republican National Committee chair and former Republican Gov. Haley Barbour made those payments.

The calls were placed in predominantly black and Democratic regions of the state during the final days before Tuesday's runoff, according to a political operative in Mississippi.

Mitzi Bickers, an Atlanta pastor and former president of the Atlanta school board, used the same nonexistent group name — 'Citizens for Progress' — in a 2013 campaign for a local sales tax proposal.

After it was reported that Bickers filed a fraudulent financial disclosure report related to the campaign, she resigned her post as a senior adviser to Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed.

The political 'super PAC' that paid her to run the robocalls is called Mississippi Conservatives, according to National Review.

Haley Barbour, the former governor, founded the PAC, which is now run by Henry Barbour, his nephew.

It's that bad: Even Al Franken won't be seen with Obama
[HOTAIR] With Republicans in Washington thus far successfully fending off bad boy tea party challengers in competitive races, odds makers are now indicating that the GOP has a better than even chance of retaking the upper chamber of Congress in November.

President Barack Obama
Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back...
's sinking job approval rating is not helping boost Democrats' chances. Speaking anonymously to The Hill, one Democratic Senator said Obama's "unpopularity" is troubling. "It's a tense time," the source said.

It is with this backdrop that Obama descended on Minnesota on Thursday where freshman Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) is seeking reelection. Franken has spent the last six years maintaining as low a profile in Washington as possible, shying away from national press and casting himself as a politician exclusively focused on the interests of his constituents.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee On Border Crisis: We Ask Jordan, Turkey To Take Syrian Refugees
[BREITBART] Many of the unaccompanied minors flooding across the border are refugees fleeing violence in their Central American home countries and should be treated as such, according to Texas Republican Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
...U.S. Representative-for-life for Texas's 18th congressional district, serving since 1995. The district includes most of inner-city Houston. She noted for her lack of tact and intellect. She is a member of the Democratic Party, and almost its epitome...
"Yes, in some instances these are refugees. And this report indicated that these children are not coming for immigration issues; they're being forcibly displaced. We ask Jordan to take the Syrian refugees, we ask Turkey to take the Syrian refugees, and all over the world there are refugees," she said at a presser Thursday, referring to a report from the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
High Commission for Refugees.

The Texas Democrat argued that much of the influx is due to violence in the unaccompanied minors' Central American home countries and human smugglers who lie about America's policies to get parents to pay for transport northward.

"Under the United Nations agency for refugees it is clear that a part of the analysis is whether or not persons can be returned to these places. It is well documented that there is much violence in Central America [from] where these parents were sending these children," Jackson Lee said, adding that she does not want children returned to those conditions but does want to abide by the law and have the cases adjudicated.

#1  She has a point. If we take all those Christians and give them to the UN to be placed in Jordan and Turkey, ya, what could go wrong. The influx would certainly stop. I'm with ya girl, next is to move all the welfare folks to Israel...

#5  Central American violence? Move them on to appropriate neighborhoods in Chicago and LA, they won't notice the difference.

#6  Send them back to Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. This is a politician-manufactured crisis. In the meantime send them to Washington D.C. (WH lawn), San Francisco bay area (Nancy Pelosi's home), Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez's front yard, and Harry Reid's front yard, should be under consideration as destinations during the interim, until Operation Return-the-Children to Their-Rightful-Homes can be organized. Other people who should be considered to house them also. From the article: "All three want to use Latino immigrants to create a socialist America
Raul Grijalva is, like the President himself, a disciple of Chicago radical Saul Alinsky."

#7  Maybe we can send them all to plant another flag on Mars?

#8  I am with John, my snark aside, send then to every sanctuary city, just put them on a bus. Watch that sanctuary crap go out the window...

#9  Yes, send them to the Tenderloin District in San Francisco. The place is amok in sympathy and resources and a great place to raise children.
