New York state’s highest court has handed law enforcement a victory​ — ruling that ​the courts have no authority to decide the constitutionality of bulk seizures of Facebook users’ private accounts​ for criminal probes. In 2014​,​ Facebook challenged Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus’ Vance’s bulk-search warrant demanding information on 381 of its users who were suspects in a major investigation into NYPD and FDNY Social Security scammers. ​More than 100 people have been convicted in the s​​cam. They claimed they were too sick to work in order to get the benefits​ ​– ​​then posted photos of themselves on social media platforms...

Miracle?... What’s the bigger surprise here? That the Washington Post wrote a story about a Scottsdale Scorpions game in the Arizona Fall League? Or that the Post actually took somewhat seriously the possibility that a Christian man laid hands on an ailing person and performed some modicum of healing? I don’t think the chances are very good that they run tomorrow’s Salt River Rafters box score, so I guess you’ve got your answer.

Wells Fargo will pay $24 million to settle allegations that it mistreated members of the military -- including illegally repossessing their cars. The bank, already reeling from a scandal over fake accounts, will pay $4.1 million to settle Justice Department charges that it seized 413 cars owned by service members without a court order, a violation of federal law. The Justice Department said the illegal repossessions took place from 2008 to 2015. The first complaint came from an Army National Guardsman in North Carolina who said the bank seized his car while he was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan. Wells...

Two thirds of voters say they think Hillary is secretly in poor health despite her efforts to shrug off pneumonia concerns AP-GfK poll found 51 per cent of voters have confidence in Trump's health But only 36 per cent feel Hillary Clinton is well enough to be president She collapsed at a 9/11 memorial service and spent several days at home Her doctor later said she had pneumonia, raising fears about her health At the first presidential debate she pointed out she had visited 112 nations On Tuesday she was seen coughing while speaking to press on her plane Two-thirds...

A Short Jolt, a Pause and Another Jolt

On Tuesday Hillary Clinton canceled her campaign fundraiser in North Carolina. The campaign offered no explanation for the cancellation. Hillary Clinton canceled several events after she collapsed at Ground Zero on 9-11. The campaign said she had overheated, the flu, pneumonia. On Saturday night Hillary looked exhausted, drained while speaking with reporters on the terrorist bombing in New York City and the terrorist stabbing spree in Minnesota. Now this… A conservative leader wrote The Gateway Pundit Wednesday morning to share this news: Hearing smart guys say that Hillary may cancel the debate on Monday … Hillary may be trying to...

Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that his wife has fallen before due to dehydration. Revealing some of her health past for the first time, Clinton told CBS: "Rarely, on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing's happened to her when she got severely dehydrated." Speaking to CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose, the former president said Hillary Rodham Clinton is "fine" after her buckling on Sunday and ready to get back on the campaign trail, though aides said it won't happen for days. With his typical aw shucks tone, he said,...

I need to start this story off with a personal confession. I myself suffer from the same medical condition as Hillary Clinton, epilepsy. It is because I have lived it that I can confirm that the sunglasses seen in this picture were by no means normal sunglasses. Blue lenses are frequently used to reduce the light intake of epileptics to prevent seizures. I myself used to use them frequently when I would go to concerts to stop strobe lights from triggering me. Hillary Clinton has been shown countless times to also be triggered by flashing lights. They will often result...

A novel nonpharmacologic treatment for photosensitive epilepsy: a report of three patients tested with blue cross-polarized glasses. Kepecs MR1, Boro A, Haut S, Kepecs G, Moshé SL. Author information Abstract PURPOSE: Pharmacotherapy for photosensitive epilepsy is not always effective and is associated with well-recognized toxicities. Nonpharmacologic approaches to the management of photosensitive epilepsy have included the use of sunglasses of various types. Blue lenses have been shown to suppress the photoparoxysmal response more effectively than lenses of other colors with similar overall transmittances. Recently, cross-polarized glasses have shown promise. The axes of polarization of the two lenses of such glasses...

Clinton's health is no longer a background issue in the presidential race. The footage of her entry to her ride out is especially troubling: She's leaning oddly backward as she waits, and plainly almost collapses as she moves toward the vehicle; a mob of aides then conveys her inside. Also telling is that her staff avoided alerting the press that travels with her - and were left to catch up after noticing her missing. Clinton's brief walkabout some 90 minutes later, after she'd rested in daughter Chelsea's apartment, settles nothing. Nor does word late Sunday that she has pneumonia. We...

They don’t have the issue set that favors them" and thus they resort to name-calling, Conway said. "And I have to say, look, politics is not a tea party. It’s rough and tumble. We all get that, Brian. But to go out there and do guilt by association and to accuse people of having malice in their heart towards other people with no evidence, and then to do exactly what the American Psychological Association has asked people not to do, which is to, which is to certify somebody as mentally unfit or a psychopath. It’s just beyond the pale, and...

Introducing a Bank Recapitalization “Bail-in” Regime To protect Canadian taxpayers in the unlikely event of a large bank failure, the Government is proposing to implement a bail-in regime that would reinforce that bank shareholders and creditors are responsible for the bank’s risks—not taxpayers. This would allow authorities to convert eligible long-term debt of a failing systemically important bank into common shares to recapitalize the bank and allow it to remain open and operating. Such a measure is in line with international efforts to address the potential risks to the financial system and broader economy of institutions perceived as “too-big-to-fail”. The...

As Donald Trump and his allies attempt to raise dubious questions over Hillary Clinton's health, the Republican nominee has invited new scrutiny into his own medical history. Like Clinton, Trump has released minimal information, most notably in the form of a December 2015 letter of a few paragraphs from his personal physician, a gastroenterologist, that described his blood pressure and lab results as "astonishingly excellent" while suggesting a President Trump would be the "healthiest individual ever elected." Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, found much of that language surprising and, in some cases, almost comically lacking in objective data....

How does a capable, hardworking, diligent, smart, tenacious leader relax? Try seven rounds of golf (so far), 5 nights out (Sunday Down Island, Tuesday State Road, Friday L'etoile, Saturday Red Cat Kitchen, Sunday Lola's) and a fundraiser for his heir apparent: The President said while the first lady is strict about him actually taking a vacation when they are on vacation, he was there because it is “absolutely critical that we have a capable, hardworking, diligent, smart, tenacious leader in the Oval Office.”“I ain’t no ways tired” And now this breaking news from the Gateway Pundit: Exhausted Hillary Is Taking...

Here’s an update on Hillary’s health from her new neurosurgeon.  First, the good news - he has nailed the diagnosis and has a cure; the bad news -  it’s Dr. Nick Riviera. And more bad news, it isn’t covered by Obamacare.Posted from: Michelle Obama’s Mirror

Goodness gracious! I’m not sure exactly who/what Mad World News is, butt they just published an article about this Tweet by @HillsMedRecord (account now deleted…or shut) down by Twitter):Here’s the story: notes from an ostensibly leaked official health record of one Hillary Rodham Clinton dated February 5, 2014 reveals some yuge health deficits:In addition to the “complex partial seizures” – which we’ve all witnessed several times now -the doctor’s notes indicates she has something called “Subcortical Vascular Dementia.”  That sounds serious. No wonder Huma warned her handlers that Hillary is “often confused.”Now I can’t speak to the veracity of this...

Drudge and Gateway Pundit are all over Hillary’s health issues this morning:Butt there will be no discussion elsewhere due to media privilege. Maybe she should do some more yoga, which I understand is good for your balance.Just don’t expect her to take any questions right now due to another short circuit.We’ll just keep an eye on her, to make sure she doesn’t melt down. Again.UPDATE: Larwyn’s Links @DougRoss has a breaking story claiming Hillary’s Handler Carrying Auto-Injector Syringe For Anti-Seizure Drug Diazepam:Hmmmmmm. I wonder what the end game is here?Posted from: Michelle Obama’s Mirror

Breaking Video: Hillary Clinton's Security and Medical Detail Appear to be integrated. In Las Vegas on August 4th, 2016 she appears to have a moment of confusion and a peculiar reaction by her security staff shows one of them pull out a Diazepam Autoinjector before being waved off by her Chief Medical Officer in the security detail. The same medical officer is shown in another picture holding the same object, which clearly is a Diazepam Autoinjector used to treat seizures as they happen. Hillary Clinton is barely holding it together. She is unfit for office, and we have to ask...

Even without microcephaly, seizures and developmental delays may appear in the months following birth The full scope of Zika-related birth defects may extend far beyond abnormally small heads and brain damage. Research to be presented next week at a teratology conference in San Antonio, Texas, suggests that serious joint problems, seizures, vision impairment, trouble feeding and persistent crying can be added to the list of risks from Zika exposure in the womb. The new findings confirm doctors’ concerns that even when Zika-exposed babies are born without microcephaly and appear largely normal at birth they can go on to have health...
