Hillary Clinton Laughs Off Anderson Cooper Press Conference Question: “Stay Tuned” (Video)…

Hillary Clinton called in to CNN’s Anderson Cooper program tonight for a brief interview.

After claiming the appearance of “lots of smoke, but no fire” regarding the pay-to-play scheme during her tenure as Secretary of State, Secretary Clinton refused to answer the question about Colin Powell calling her “a liar“.

When Cooper asked Secretary Clinton why she was not available to the press and has not held a press conference her response was: “Stay tuned there will be a lot of different opportunities for me to talk to the press.”

Clinton Email Scandal Widens – “The Access” Is the Quid Pro Quo…

The “pay-to-play” scandal between the Clinton Foundation and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been defended by claiming Secretary Clinton took no actionable steps to change State Dept. policy as a result of payment to the Foundation.

However, as the relationships between the Foundation and the State Department gain increased scrutiny the “access” to Clinton appears to be the purpose for the payments.  Sooner or later someone is going to mention the mysterious 2012 “Thanksgiving Holiday Fire” directly above Hillary’s office in the State Dept.

WASHINGTON DC – Hillary Clinton’s national finance director has emerged in newly released emails as what one watchdog called the “middle” man between her State Department and family foundation, sharing donor information with a top Clinton confidante when he was working at the foundation.

Dennis Cheng, before joining the campaign, worked for over three years as the foundation’s director of development and before that as deputy chief of protocol in Clinton’s State Department. (more…)

A Positive Perspective On Trump’s “Immigration Policy Shift”…

A good perspective picked from the comments provided by Duke Taber:

Trump race 2

With over 1,100 comments on this issue, obviously a lot of people have strong opinions about KC [Kellyanne Conway]. What I am about to say probably has already been said but here goes anyways.

I do not believe for an instance that KC’s comment/s were accidental. I don’t think most of you think so either. So the question is whether or not they were intentional for profitable design or nefarious design. The article has landed on the side of nefarious design. That is understandable considering the clients KC has represented in the past. I couldn’t stand “wolf in sheep’s clothing” Cruz.

However, I just don’t see this as something of nefarious design. If it was, the day that she started the narrative [Sunday], it would have been silenced by Mr. Trump. He has had no problem clarifying things that have been misspoken before.

However, not only has he not silenced this, but he has himself changed how he presents himself on the issue. And this is the real purpose I believe for this narrative. (more…)

Kellyanne Conway Is Not Helping Donald Trump – And Perhaps That’s the Plan…

There were two types of people who attended CPAC in March 2016 and gave Speaker Paul “Omnibus” Ryan (the former chair of the budget, well, actually, non-budget committee) a standing ovation.

  • Type one was the professional political class, the UniParty membership, the GOPe; those who happily welcomed Omnibus and who gleefully ignore the seventh spending  of the nearly $1 trillion, “one-time” 2009 stimulus bill.
  • Type two, was those who are overcome with battered conservative syndrome and see nothing wrong with giving thanks to their abuser.

One of those attendees was the former partner of GOPe mouthpiece Frank Luntz, and current campaign manager for Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway.

kellyanne ConwaySCORPION

Whether Conway is the hand placing the scorpion into the bed sheets of Trump, or whether she is the scorpion itself, is yet to be determined.  However, one thing appears quite clear, she was not put into the Trump campaign to ensure his election.  Exactly the opposite appears true.

Conway’s current action, the ‘too-cute-by-half’ schtick on Trump’s immigration policy, is factually undermining the Trump campaign.  Then again, shouldn’t this be expected when fellow consulting traveler Luntz and herself hold the same professional immigration objectives outlined in their historic support for Marco ‘gang-of-eight‘ Rubio.

It’s well known, the UniParty has a collective immigration agenda, amnesty (under various “comprehensive” parseltongue auspices), and a quasi-open border approach granting virtually unlimited immigration use policies.
