Hillary Clinton said the construct of her secret communication network was specifically because she only wanted to carry one device – obviously she lied right out of the gate.

The Associated Press has gained a total of FOUR emails from a FOIA request regarding correspondence between Hillary Clinton and her personal aide Huma Abedin search term “drone strikes”.

The emails show the Clinton led U.S. State Department focused an inordinate amount of time and energy discussing articles written by the media. It would appear at least a substantive portion of time in/around the State Dept was spent reviewing what reporters were writing about U.S. foreign policy outcomes.

One of the emails (Sept 18th 2011 – last in the pdf below) shows Hillary answering a question about floral arrangements amid a chain email discussing Pakistan’s efforts to battle the Taliban. Ms. Abedin responds curiously. (more…)

If you have followed politics in the past 8 to 10 years you know the Decepticon GOP strategy to anoint their chosen candidate is essentially a simple one.

If you really drill it down to the lowest common denominator it entails: • Raise more money, • attack the opposition to deplete their resources, and • coast to the finish line of the primary race.

The GOP “raise more money” aspect is not from the electorate, they have Wall Street and the CoC. The CoC strategists, in coordination with the GOP Decepticons, organize the financial methodology – it is a complex spending program, but essentially based on advancement of a specific goal.

On the ground the primary strategy is simple. Do the minimum required to get out of Iowa unscathed; place a top 3 finish in New Hampshire; make a decent showing in South Carolina then light the spending fuse in Florida (expensive advertising markets).

That four state strategy costs around $100,000,000.00 (around a hundred million). A first or second place showing in Florida is all that’s needed to destroy any opposition to the professional (GOP) political class. (more…)

Hillary Clinton lawyers now claiming after they decided what was “business” and what was “personal” email, they destroyed everything. Gee, who didn’t see that coming….

WASHINGTON DC – Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton failed to provide any new documents to the congressional panel investigating the Benghazi terrorist attacks, instead notifying the committee that she has “wipe[d] her server clean,” the lead investigator announced.

“After seeking and receiving a two week extension from the Committee, Secretary Clinton failed to provide a single new document to the subpoena issued by the Committee and refused to provide her private server to the Inspector General for the State Department or any other independent arbiter for analysis,” Representative Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.), the chairman of the select committee investigating the attacks, announced Friday evening.

The majority of the advisors around former Florida Jeb Bush continue to carry the same outlook.  An almost identical campaign perspective as former Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney.

Their perspective can be encapsulated thusly: The various contingencies of the conservative electorate will vote for us regardless of what we do or don’t do – they have no option. Ergo we don’t need to win their support, they are -for all intents and purposes- irrelevant, their votes are guaranteed.

Team Romney in 2011/2012 took this approach and -in my opinion- suffered a backlash from large numbers of voters feeling taken for granted and staying home on election day. The advisors around Bush and Romney are disconnected from the decade of change within the electorate. As a consequence Jeb Bush appears to be following an almost identical path as Mitt Romney.

(Via Business Insider) Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) says he’ll do just fine when it comes to evangelical Christian voters in the presidential race. (more…)

Earlier today Democrat Senator Harry Reid (NV) announced his intentions not to seek re-election in 2016. Moments later Harry Reid announced his preferred selection for his replacement within Senate leadership, Chuck Schumer (NY).

WASHINGTON DC – Harry Reid endorsed Chuck Schumer to succeed him as Senate minority leader after he retires in 2016.

“I think Schumer should be able to succeed me,” the Nevada Democrat said about the New York Democrat in an interview Friday with the Washington Post.

Reid, 75, whose Senate career has spanned three decades, has led Senate Democrats since 1995. He announced Friday he would not seek re-election in 2016. (more…)

She Will NOT Be Denied !

New York Times political reporter Amy Chozick has shared (via twitter) the content of an email she received from Team Hillary Clinton.

Apparently the group is planning to attack reporters with accusations of sexism if the media use words like “polarizing, calculating, disingenuous, insincere, ambitious, inevitable, entitled, over confident” to describe Hillary Clinton.

Yes, all of the aforementioned words have been used in the first 24 hours to describe Ted Cruz, but in typical fem-Nazi fashion that doesn’t matter.

It’s the progressives #1 Obamacare claim – if you want to repeal it, you are throwing 16 million people off healthcare plans. So when the CBS team tries the question, Ted Cruz gives them an accurate retort. Well done.

…”Well, you know, those numbers don’t tell the whole picture. For one thing, the bulk of those numbers are coming from expanded Medicaid. And Medicaid is a program where a lot of the people on Medicaid are not getting health care. Medicaid is a system that is already overburdened and more and more people are just getting waiting lists and not actually getting health care. Beyond that — remember, six million people had their health insurance canceled because of Obamacare. You’re not doing someone a favor if you cancel the health insurance they like and then force them to buy new health insurance at higher premiums that covers less”….

The Congressional Black Caucus and the Decepticon Republican Establishment will collectively cry foul. A Supreme Court decision today essentially eliminates the twisted racial logic used to construct race-based (black) congressional districts.

As Christian Adams writes – “The Supreme Court has dealt a heavy blow to efforts — often by the Republican Party — to draw legislative districts that pack black voters into majority black legislative districts in order to elect black representatives”. (read more)

…“Here, however, the District Court and the legislature both asked the wrong question with respect to narrow tailoring. They asked how to maintain the present minority percentages in majority-minority districts, instead of asking the extent to which they must preserve existing minority percentages in order to maintain the minority’s present ability to elect the candidate of its choice. Because asking the wrong question may well have led to the wrong answer, the Court cannot accept the District Court’s conclusion.”

Obamacare sucks. Everything about it was based on lies, false presentations, and outright manipulative efforts from Democrats.

As a direct result of the worst legislation ever constructed the vast majority of Democrats have been running from it ever since it was signed into law. Democrats know know the toxic nature of the fraud they created. Higher insurance costs, lower healthcare services and financial impacts to the average person that are ridiculously unaffordable.

Obamacare is the primary drag on the economy and businesses, sucking money away from businesses and individuals. Hence Democrats have continually asked for delays in an effort to avoid the political consequences. Here’s another:

(Via Daily Caller) A group of Democratic senators is urging the Obama administration to delay a key portion of Obamacare because the results could be “harmful and disruptive.”

In a letter exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller, Senate Democrats pleaded with Health and Human Services secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell to delay an Obamacare rule change that puts companies with 51 to 100 employees in the costlier “small group” market instead of the “large group” market. The rule change, which will result in higher premiums for many companies, goes into effect in 2016. (more…)
