Jim Webb. The voice of sanity



“Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter? Let’s put that question to Senator Sanders,” a bespectacled Anderson Cooper asked.

“Black lives matter,” Sanders responded to uproarious cheers.

When it came time for former senator Jim Webb to follow his Democrats on the Black Lives Matter movement, he simply would not.

“As a president of the United States, every life in this country matters"

3 BIG Lies From The Democratic Debate Just Got Exposed, And Americans Need To Know It

The truth was a casualty of Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate.

Hillary Clinton shaded the facts about her use of a private email account while she was Secretary of State and fudged her position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., wrongly placed the United States as the world’s leader in wealth and income inequality.

Clinton, whose defense of her private email server has shifted repeatedly over time, said during the debate that what she did was “allowed by the State Department.” However, Clinton was supposed to turn over her personal emails to the Department at the end of her tenure, not two years later as she did. Also, using a private account for all her work emails was “inconsistent with long-established policies and practices under the Federal Records Act and NARA regulations governing all federal agencies,” according to congressional testimony of Jason R. Baron, a former director of litigation at the National Archives.

Clinton recently spoke out against the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement among Pacific Rim nations. Debate host Anderson Cooper called out Clinton on her changing positions at Tuesday night’s debate.

“You supported his trade deal dozens of times. You even called it the ‘gold standard.’ Now, suddenly, last week, you’re against it,” Cooper said. “Will you say anything to get elected?”

Clinton told Cooper that when the trade deal was unveiled, she “hoped” it would be the “gold standard” for agreements.

However, that’s not what she said.

“This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field,” she remarked in 2012.

Sanders, for his part, said the United States “should not be the country that has … more wealth and income inequality than any other country.”

When Factcheck.org investigated that claim, it found the U.S. ranked 42nd in income inequality according to the World Bank. In terms of wealth, the United States placed 16th out of 46 nations in the share of wealth held by the richest one percent of the nation’s citizens.

Wait...

Bernie has a wife???

Bernie Sanders’ Wife May Have Defrauded State Agency, Bank

The wife of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders may have been able to use her clout to get away with loan fraud, nearly bankrupting the small college she was president of and collecting a sizable severance package in the process.

These revelations come amid growing speculation that Sen. Sanders, a self-described socialist who has blasted the U.S. government asan oligarchy run by billionaires and railed against the golden parachutes received by top corporate executives, will contend for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Jane Sanders was the president of tiny Burlington College in Burlington, Vermont for seven years, from 2004 until 2011. During her tenure, Sanders masterminded an ambitious expansion plan that would have more than doubled the size of the school. To do so, she had the college take on $10 million in debt to finance the purchase of a new, far more expansive campus. The move backfired massively, leading to Sanders’ departure from the college and the near-collapse of the institution.

According to Jonna Spilbor, an attorney who reviewed the document, “the college APPEARS to have committed a pretty sophisticated crime” by exaggerating donor commitments in order to secure financing for the deal.

Sanders’ role in bringing Burlington College to the brink of the abyss has been known for years.

Might as well cancel the rest of the Dem debates anyway

If Bernie is just there to defend Hillary and lick her feet, why bother?

http://i2.wp.com/www.youngcons.com/w...ize=890%2C1196

On Bernie's applause line about Hillary's e-mails:
He's sorely mistaken when he says that "the voters are sick of hearing about it". The party insiders attending the debate are sick of hearing about it. The Dem primary voters are sick of hearing about it. But the general electorate (especially the independents) are very interested.
They're not going to make this go away that easily.

Bernie calls himself a 'democratic socialist'

Free everything for everyone - the working man capitalists will pay for it all, of course

So much for Americans being tired of the email scandal

Watched a few "highlights' of the Dem debate.

I guess there really are worse things that could happen than a President Donald Trump. :doh:

Clinton suggests she'd consider mandatory gun buy-backs

Hillary Clinton said Friday that mandatory gun buy-back programs like ones in Australia are “worth looking into,” sparking criticism that the Democratic presidential front-runner would, if elected, impose gun-confiscation efforts.

Clinton made the comments during a campaign stop in Keene, N.H., when an attendee asked about Australia’s 1996 and 2003 buy-back programs that collected roughly 700,000 banned semi-automatic rifles and other firearms.

“I think it would be worth considering doing it on the national level, if that could be arranged,” Clinton responded.

“This validates what the NRA has said all along,” said Chris Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action. “The real goal of gun control supporters is gun confiscation.”

Cox said Clinton’s comments echo recent ones by President Obama, making “very clear” that the underlying goal of gun-control advocates is confiscation

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015...?intcmp=hplnws

--------------------------

The Australian and U.K. “buybacks” were merely an attempt to mollify firearm owners whose property had been declared contraband and subject to seizure.

If you own a gun now, take heed. President Obama and now Hillary Clinton finally made clear what they’re really after – national gun confiscation.

Gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results:

• Australia-wide, homicides went up 3.2 percent
• Australia-wide, assaults went up 8.6 percent
• Australia-wide, armed robberies went up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns.

meanwhile, wild-eyed Bernie supporters are just as loonie as he is...


#FeelTheStrangle: Bernie Sanders Supporter Expelled For Choking Muslim Woman

Yelling ‘White Power’ the Indiana University Bloomington student charged with shouting hateful slurs at a Muslim woman, trying to strangle her and then biting a police officer on Saturday has been expelled from the school.

Officials at Indiana expelled the student, Triceten Bickford, earlier this week, reports Fort Wayne NBC affiliate WISE-TV.

The bizarre incident occurred on a patio outside a Turkish restaurant and bakery in Bloomington, a few blocks from the IU campus.

Bickford, 19, began the altercation by yelling “‘white power, white power,’ very loud,” the victim, an unidentified 47-year-old Turkish woman, told Indianapolis NBC outlet WTHR.

Then, the victim explained, Bickford grabbed her neck, pushed it down and squeezed. He pulled her scarf off her head, she said.

After allegedly spitting at people and trying to bite the cop who arrested him, Bickford tried to kick out a squad car window.


A screengrab of Bickford’s deleted Facebook page captured by the New York Daily News shows that he is a passionate supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

An image of Sanders had been emblazoned across the very top of Bickford’s now-expunged Facebook page.

“ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES,” a corresponding caption to the left of the socialist candidate urged. “IT’S TIME FOR OUR REVOLUTION.”

The tiny headshot of Bickford’s face in the bottom left of this main image was covered with transparent, red, white and blue filter and the slogan “Bernie 2014.”

Godless heathen Dems won't like this either


Donald Trump Promises To Bring Back 'Merry Christmas'

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pledges that if elected, he restore the phrase “Merry Christmas” in every U.S. store. While the presidential candidate has not unveiled how he would do this, his declaration was met with cheers among evangelical supporters.

Trump touted his Christian beliefs at an Oct. 21 campaign rally in Burlington, Iowa, CNN reports.

“I will tell you I’m a good Christian,” says Trump. “I guarantee, if I become president, we’re gonna be saying Merry Christmas in every store… you can leave happy holidays at the corner.”

Good Lord, Hillary Clinton is such a sleazy pit viper!
It turns out from the e-mails (which she conveniently held onto until the day before the hearing so there'd be almost no time to read them) that she knew the night of the attack who was actually responsible for the attack.
Afterwards, she openly and baldly lied to the families of the victims at their freakin' funeral and didn't even bat an eye. She then conspired to convict and imprison a man who she knew to be innocent merely for political expediency.

It takes a special kind of person to do that.

Hillary Clinton Has 41-Point Lead Over Bernie Sanders in Iowa:

Another farce of a debate. Uber- liberal moderators splitting their time a) trying to start a fight between the candidates and b) asking questions that Republican primary voters don't care about.
Ted looked pretty good. I hope he gets a bounce from this.

Which is why I didn't even bother. You honestly expected something different?

This thing is so in the bag for Clinton I'm not sure I'm even going to bother turning in a ballot next November either.

He knocked that one out of the park, and he wasn't the only one.
Afterwards, they tried to spin it as "Republican candidates like to attack the media for bias because it scores with the base", but they never follow that statement to it's logical conclusion: If that's the case, then why does it work so well?

The truth is the media is a bunch of Manhattan liberals who can't even imagine the mindset of people outside the beltway. They don't know what questions to ask and can't even conceive of the notion that a majority of Americans don't see the world the same way as they do.

Now... that comes with the territory and it must be accepted as a fact of life *in a general election*, but in a primary election the questions and answers need to be useful to the people who are actually going to be voting. Republican primary voters got absolutely nothing of value from this debate. It's about as useful as having Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity moderate a Dem primary debate; no questions will be asked that are of any value to the people watching.

Why Reince Preibus allows this to go on is a mystery to me. They could've thrown the microphone out into the audience and gotten better questions.

The one good thing that came out of this IMO: Jeb Bush officially ended his campaign last night. His decision to try to attack Rubio was the single most tone- deaf thing I've ever seen happen in a GOP debate and he got pantsed for it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL5An51sA7k
Seriously, Jeb... did you miss the part where he got raucous applause right before you opened your mouth? Sheesh! You saw them showing blitz. Why did you not audible out of it??
The whole time after that, I just kept thinking "there's a human corpse on the stage! Put a sheet over him!"

Rubio looked strong in that clip, Jeb looked meager

¡Jeb! es un pendejo.

https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...b1&oe=56AE36BA

I do a lot of listening and a lot of reading. Knowing what I know, the Republican nominee is going to be either Rubio or Cruz. I'm not going out on a limb just yet and say which one of the two gets it, but I'm willing to bet it'll be one of the two.

Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship

Carson's campaign on Friday conceded that a central point in his inspirational personal story did not occur as he previously described.

The academy has occupied a central place in Carson's tale for years. According to a story told in Carson's book, Gifted Hands,� the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson's telling, was followed by a full scholarship to the military academy.

West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission.

Not so much. I think the politico story was a classic tale of *gasp* media spin. He's gaining momentum, and I had seen an article (online, so take it for what it's worth) that shows him polling very close to Hillary.
