In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

#BREAKING Clinton cancels Monday-Tuesday travel after health scare: campaign

— AFP News Agency (@AFP) September 12, 2016

Back in August Dr. Drew Pinsky gave an interview where he discussed some concerns with Secretary Hillary Clinton’s medical care.   Within the video Dr. Pinsky discusses how some of the medications just don’t seem to align with the current treatment protocols:

August – The controversy surrounding Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s health continues to swirl. KABC’s Dr. Drew Pinsky says the former Secretary of State may be receiving inadequate health care that is not optimal for her condition.

(Donald Trump Statement) “Fifteen years ago, America suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history. Thousands of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and innocent American children were murdered by radical Islamic terrorists.
Today, we mourn for all the lives lost. We mourn for all the children who had to grow up without a mom or dad, and for all the parents who’ve had to struggle on without their children.
We will never forget. (more…)

Fox News Report on Secretary Hillary Clinton’s collapse earlier in the day, along with personal physician Lisa Bardack statement:

According to CNN’s reporting, Hillary Clinton has been examined -at home- by her personal physician, Lisa Bardack, and has been diagnosed with “pneumonia”; which is also being used as a current reasoning for her cough.
The diagnosis carries with it instructions for extended rest, medication to include antibiotics, and she will again be removed from ongoing campaigning.

New York […]  “Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies. On Friday, during follow up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia,” Dr. Lisa R. Bardack said in a statement obtained by Time magazine.
“She was put on antibiotics, and and advised to rest and modify her schedule. While at this morning’s event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely,” Bardack wrote. (read more)

If this diagnosis and treatment course (ie. stay out of the public etc.) seems a little too convenient to you – there is understandable reasoning for skepticism and cynicism.

Dr. Lisa Bardack conducting an evaluation today:

Almost everyone has noted how little campaigning Clinton has done in the past few months.  Hillary Clinton barely held any campaign events in August, and only a few events in the past two weeks.  Her campaign schedule has been the lightest of any presidential candidate in the past 30 years.

Listed as Victim 0001 on his body bag, Father Mychal Judge became one of the most recognized images of the victims lost to us on September 11,2001.
Robert Emmet (Mychal) Judge was the son of Irish immigrants. He grew up in Brooklyn during the Great Depression, learning a love for the poor he was to carry with him throughout his life. He took the name Mychal upon entering the Order of Friars Minor in 1961.
In 1992, he became Chaplain of the Fire Department of New York. He worked long hours serving the firemen and their families, developing a love of his work and those he served, and they in turn made the priest a part of their world. He became a man known for ministering to society’s castoffs – the homeless, alcoholics and drug addicts, hungry, and those alienated by the Church. (more…)
