The controversial exchange, “pallet of $400,000,000 cash for hostages”, can be identified at 11:28 of the english version of the Iranian documentary (video above). (more…)

This is a great example of the current state, and competence, of American Journalism.  Worse yet, this example shows the U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, didn’t even know what’s going on, and Vice-Presidential Candidate Tim Kaine also joins the crew of the clueless.

CNN and The Washington Post are both making an absurd attack Donald Trump story out of the most simple and easy to prove claim.

Donald Trump said there was video (yes, that’s a screen grab of the video above), put out by Iran, showing the United States sending pallets of cash in exchange for U.S. hostages.

Trump stated the Iranian’s were using the video to “embarrass the President“.  The Washington Post and CNN jumped on the Trump statement and immediately decried it as ridiculous and set out to prove the claim false: (more…)

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 †

Yesterday Fox News poll  (by Daron Shaw) showed Hillary Clinton crushing Donald Trump by 10 points (49/39) nationally.  Today NBC/WSJ (Mark Murray) delivers a national poll showing Hillary Clinton destroying Donald Trump by 9 points, (47/38).  The trifecta of confidence is capped with McClatchy-Marist delivering a poll with Clinton wiping out Trump by 15 points (48/33).

Accompanying pollster words include: “Stunning”, “Historic”, “Insurmountable”, “Magnificent”, “Incredible”, “Overwhelming”, “Unbeatable”… and more.

National Media Polls now show Secretary Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 10 to 15 points.  And right on cue, the CNN punditry (Erin Burnett) begin tonight by saying:

…”with a national lead this large is there really any reason to have the election?”

Gee, who could have guessed?

As Hillary begins measuring the drapes in the oval office, the super-confident Clinton Campaign now stops running ads in Colorado and Virginia.  It’s August, but the race according to the water-carrying media is over.

Over.

OVER.
