Whenever liberals are confronted on the field of ideas you can guarantee to elicit an autonomic tone of snark, condescension and uppity indignation in their ideological retort.  Why? Because at its core tenet, liberalism is dependent on blame-casting.
As such, this does not come as a surprise:

Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was invited by the Clinton campaign to sit in the front row at Monday night’s debate.
“Just got a front row seat to watch @HillaryClinton overwhelm @realDonaldTrump at the “Humbling at Hofstra” on Monday,” Cuban tweeted. “It Is On!”
A Clinton aide later confirmed that Cuban was, in fact, invited by the Clinton campaign. “He has the best seat we have access to,” the aide said. (read more)

Fortunately, in this election we have a candidate in Donald Trump who is adept at cutting through their primary weapon with an approach unfamiliar to most traditionally republican voices.
Donald Trump’s opponent is weak when confronted and needs group-think reinforcement if she is going to deliver a successful outcome for her fellow travelers.

Yesterday Hillary Clinton used a video conference to address the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA).
The union conference was being held in Las Vegas and instead of speaking to the audience live, Secretary Clinton used a teleconference link to deliver her 2016 campaign message to the audience.   One of the odd messages delivered to the audience was a seemingly frustrated rhetorical question Secretary Clinton asked the audience about her position in the polls:

  “why am I not 50 points ahead”…

But it was not only the content of the rhetorical question that raised some eyebrows, it was also the way in which she delivered her entire message.  The result is an autonomic response of discomfort for the viewing audience.  She made it weird.  Watch:

Day #1 – Katica discovers Paul Combetta has on-line alias “stonetear” and full backstory.
Day #2 – Paul Combetta scrubs his user information, and deletes his July 24th 2014 posting history. The Stonetear Reddit inquiry and the Timeline for Hillary Clinton’s email cover up.
Day #3 – House Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith demands answers from Platte River Network, and interview scheduled with Combetta by tomorrow.
Day #4 – House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz sends preservation notice to Reddit.
Summary Backstory – On Sunday September 18th, researcher Katica discovered Hillary Clinton’s email custodian, Paul Combetta, had an alias “stonetear” used on a 2014 Reddit forum asking for assistance in altering archived server records for Hillary Clinton. We published the archive and discovery at 4:30am Monday Sept 19th. Within hours Combetta scrubs his prior posting and attempts to delete his web-footprint.  However, the information is viral as the internet shares the story.  Tuesday night Sept 20th, Chairman Lamar Smith becomes aware of the issue and sends formal letter to Platte River Network legal team, demanding an interview with Combetta.

Yesterday, Wednesday Sept 21st, House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz sent a preservation notification to Reddit to ensure the archived posting of Combetta/stonetear is retained: (more…)

**snicker** Timely AP Report for August:  Clinton Campaign spent $50 million.  DNC spent $28 million. Super Pac spent $20.6 million.  Total $100 million.
(AP) […] Much of Clinton’s spending has been eaten up by advertising, which is costing her about $10 million per week. Through August, she blanketed 11 states with 35,714 broadcast television commercials.  […]  Clinton also has built a robust campaign team of 800 employees who cost a total of about $5 million last month (link)

[…] “Battleground states carry that name for a reason: They’re going to be close, from now until Election Day,” [Clinton] campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in a memo to supporters this week. “But we are going to win them because we’ve spent the past year building a superior ground game to communicate our message and turn our people out to vote.” (link)

♦ Candidate Donald Trump is the TV ratings cash cow. ♦ An embargo or boycott by Trump against a news organization can have actual bottom line impact on their finances. ♦ Many angles of reaction emanate from this disconcerting truism.
Additionally, this is 2016.
A presidential campaign year where MSM CFO’s use historical reference to budget hundreds of millions in advertising revenue from the various political campaigns. Entire annual corporate budgets are framed with this projected income in mind. If the revenue isn’t there the down stream impacts are significant.
Talking head pundit contracts were agreed upon, and written, with the corporate side projecting a specific five year revenue. Donald Trump has single-handedly turned off the spigot. This year the media must compete for revenue (ratings) more than ever before.
In order to get ratings, the media must create news.  Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook just found out how desperate they are, watch:

To be fair, this type of inquisition is not journalism. Then again, as we all know, journalism is dead.  Also, just because the inquisition is happening to the other team, doesn’t make it ok, it’s not.

Whether Hillary Clinton unexpectedly took today off to engage in scheduling collaboration with the larger elements of the radical left is an unknown. However, all of the elements are coming rapidly into confluence.
Prepare yourselves, your family and your friends, for a dangerously toxic, racially inspired, coordinated Democrat use of racism to drive an election.  The scope of what is coming has never before been witnessed in our lifetimes.

Hillary Clinton is in a complete state of electoral collapse. Her polling is far worse than what the media is capable of propping up.
Once the professional left cross a particular desperation threshold, what follows becomes predictable; this will be similar to Brexit’s “Operation Fear” only with a traditional American-left-wing twist, the use of race to drive the needed division.

Hillary Clinton’s IT technician Paul Combetta has been confirmed by all reasonable inquiry to be online user “stonetear” as originally discovered by Katica.  The Clinton camp is scrambling and took the day off today in a transparent attempt to come up with a coordinated strategy.

Today, the House Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith is demanding answers:

(Left) Paul Combetta aka “stonetear”, (Right) Katica

Specifically, Chairman Smith is demanding an interview with Paul Combetta to get answers to the myriad of questions which surfaced yesterday as an outcome of the Stonetear discovery.

Two Platte River Network (PRN) officials Paul Combetta and Bill Thornton, plead the Fifth Amendment last week when subpoenaed to testify about Hillary Clinton’s server set-up before the House Oversight Committee.  Originally,  Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) demanded transcribed interviews with seven Platte River Networks employees in July 2016, but was rebuffed.

However, yesterdays reports –an outcome of Katica’s research– that Combetta was specifically asking for on-line assistance to modify emails for a “VERY VIP” client prior to extraction from the Platte River Network server system, have led Representative Smith to demand the interviews be scheduled by Friday of this week: (more…)

When Paul Combetta aka “stonetear” woke up yesterday morning, it’s doubtful he would have suspected a two year old archive written under his Reddit pseudonym would have been on his mind.   Full Day One Discovery Thread HERE
However, someone must have alerted him asap because within hours of our story hitting the web (04:45am EDT) Combetta began furiously deleting his Reddit postings, user information, and various media forum histories.
In addition to secondarily confirming his real-life identity, in legal-speak such behavior is called: “consciousness of guilt“.

Day #1 – Was essentially the outline of Hillary Clinton’s Email custodian Paul Combetta, who worked for Platte River Network, and his engagement on a July 24th 2014 Reddit forum where he was seeking advice/recommendations for how to delete email addresses from email files prior to export.  (see day #1 for  all citations)
The confirmation of actual identity to the pseudonym used is now 100%.  The scope of the evidence affirming that Combetta is “stonetear” is vast and extensive. There simply is no way “stonetear” is not Paul Combetta.   Period.  So we move on to Day #2:

Continuing her campaign venue choices Hillary Clinton spoke this afternoon in Philadelphia on the campus of Temple University (student population 36,000).  Almost all of Secretary Clinton’s primary campaign rallies have been held on college campuses in the past two weeks.  Most likely reasoning = it’s a captive audience.
Temple U has a student population of 36,000.  Philadelphia has a population of 1.57 Million.  Today’s Clinton rally drew a few hundred attendees (being generous):

*Update* Several hours after posting this research, Paul Combetta began scrubbing all of his social media and comment sections.  However, everything is archived.  U.S News and World Report has picked up the story.  – SEE HERE– Sources also indicate DC congressional leadership and staffers are now fully aware.  This story is about to break wide open, thanks to the excellent work of the New Media, citizen journalists !…..
A rather stunning discovery has been made by a researcher named Katica who uncovered a July 24th 2014 Reddit thread started by Platte River Network executive Paul Combetta who -at the time- was requesting technical advice on how to strip a “VIP (VERY VIP)” email address from archives stored on a server he has “full access to“.

BACKSTORY – Last week Paul Combetta plead the fifth and refused to answer questions before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.  According to Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz, the following email exchange occurred between Combetta and another undisclosed Platte River Network staff member back on 8/19/15:

“Wondering how we can sneak an email in now, after the fact, asking them [the Clinton camp] when they told us to cut the backups and have them confirm it for our records.  Starting to think this whole thing is really covering up some shady shit.  I just think if we have it in writing that they told us to cut the backups then we can go public with our statement saying we’ve had the backup since day one when we were told to trim to 30 days would make us look a whole lot better.”

Platte River Network used BleachBit to remove all traces of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails. As mentioned Paul Combetta refused to answer any questions from the committee.
However, today a rather remarkable discovery adds additional intrique to this historical series of events.   A researcher named Katica, discovered the Reddit identity of Paul Combetta as “stonetear“.
