 Hillary Clinton's medical problem at the 9/11 Memorial was not really a fainting spell. Her physician claimed she was overheated and dehydrated, yet the temperature was only 77 degrees in lower Manhattan.  Clinton wobbled and collapsed at the van, and her staffers had to lift and drag her into the vehicle. There is a zoomed-in, slow-motion version of the video showing her handlers supporting her, with her feet dragging behind her. This is like "Weekend at Bernie's." Why was there no chair provided for her to sit in while she waited for her van? Why were there no people right next to her to provide immediate...

Donald J. Trump announced the formation of the Israel Advisory Committee to analyze U.S. policy toward the State of Israel, enhance the unbreakable bond between the countries, ensure Israel’s military superiority within the region and research alternative solutions to the Israeli/Palestinian discord. Previously tapped to work with Trump was CO-Chairman of the Israel Advisory Committee, Jason Greenblatt, Esq., an Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of The Trump Organization. Today, it was announced that Trump appointed another Orthodox Jew, Dr. Richard H. Roberts, M.D., Ph.D. as the Vice Chair of the Israel Advisory Committee. Dr. Roberts stated: “It is...

While I have supported Trump since August, I do have many friends who have been NeverTrumpers. Most were Cruz supporters. I was not NeverCruz, having made it clear that I was NeverHillary, or NeverDem. ... Had Cruz won the nomination, I would definitely have worked for him. After the primary was over, the NeverTrumpers still kept fighting, showing why they still could not accept Trump. All they were doing was helping Hillary; that did not even seem to disturb them at all. I am genuinely sympathetic to the NeverTrumpers. Eight years ago, for a while I was a NeverMcCain. No...

I have a solution for this problem of disorderly and violent protesters at future Trump events. As a conservative activist, I have attended a number of protest demonstrations against Bill, Hillary, etc. The police always have a protest section walled off some distance from where the target would be, in some cases, a block away. I do not know what would happen if we did not stay inside the protest zone because we always obeyed. The solution is to have a fenced-in protest zone for demonstrators which can be expanded as needed outside the arena, some distance from the entrance. A Trump rally is...

Muslim activists who oppose Israel and Zionism oppose Donald Trump because they know that Trump will actively work against their agenda. Trump is the strongest Republican candidate for Israel. Trump is the candidate Islamofascists and Muslim radical activists fear the most. "Rose Hamid, an Islamic protester who made headlines when she was removed from a Donald Trump rally in South Carolina Friday night and attempted to position herself as a victim of 'Islamophobia' thereafter, has a history rife with extremist advocacy." ... "It must be said, that Hamid was asked as she entered the rally if she was there to...

In the aftermath of the series of protests in Paris against occupation by activists and militants, who have grievances, we bring you the French plan for peace, based on France's Mideast policies. It is the only way to solve the problem of ISIS activism in Paris. First, we all agree that territory must not be annexed by force. Therefore, we can also agree that Germany has a moral right to demand the return of Alsace-Lorraine, for the French aggression in 1945 and its consequent occupation must not be rewarded. "A full withdrawal for full peace" should operate here. Further, France...

ALERT FOR TONIGHT'S DNC DEBATE! Do not watch the debate on CBS, which is a 9pm EST, lasting two hours. Watch it later online if you must. Please do this for for the sake of keeping Dem ratings DOWN! The debate will air on CBS and stream for free at www.cbsnews.com/live/. No cable subscription is necessary. CBS will also air the debate on its radio affiliates, meaning anyone with network TV, radio or Internet access can take it in. The point is to make the Democrats' debate have low ratings. Watch it online later. Or better yet, listen to it on the...

At the November 3, 2015 press conference to announce his new book, Donald Trump reminds us, "Walls work. All you have to do is ask Israel." What has been the result of the border fence Israel built in 2013 to prevent infiltration from the Egypt? According to Joel Pollak of Breitbart.com in June 2013, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has touted the success of a new border fence that Israel built along its boundary with Egypt to stop illegal infiltrators. In a statement posted at his government website, Netanyahu reported that illegal crossings had declined 99.9%, from 2,000 per month to...

#Donald Trump has declared his unwillingness to accept Syrian “refugees” if he were President. Their undocumented status would make it easy for terrorists to slip into America. By contrast, the Obama administration and the Democrats have been trying to welcome the Syrians. The owner of Atlantic City‘s Revel Hotel proposes housing Syrian refugees at his old casino: “[Glenn] Straub told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he's willing to let people displaced by the civil war in Syria stay at the 47-story  Revel resort as he fights in court over its future. Straub has been trying to reopen Revel since buying it in April for...

Donald Trump has waged successful battles against #antisemitism and racism over the decades. “He [Trump] put the light on #Palm Beach," Mr. [Abe] Foxman[, national director of the Anti-Defamation League] says. "Not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. It has an impact.” Yes, part of his motivation certainly had been financial. That is a prime motivation for capitalistic activities across the board. Still, #Donald Trump effectively used the legal system to overturn institutional discrimination as well. From this April 1997 Wall Street Journal story about his Mar-a-Lago property and his roiling the old...

I Accuse! | Naphtali Perlberger On January 13, 1898, Emile Zola wrote an open letter in the newspaper L‘Aurore the world-shaking J‘accuse, which was pivotal to the re-opening of the Dreyfus trial and the exposure of the treason and conspiracy that made this Jew a scapegoat in an anti-Semitic French society convicted wrongly and sentenced to Devil‘s Island. His article was instrumental in the reversal of his conviction, reinstatement to his rank and the cleansing of his family‘s disgrace. We are here in a world experiencing a frightening resurgence of antisemitism and anti-Israel hatred. We are more than a hundred...

In an earlier article this week, Mortal Allies Make Strange Bedfellows, we saw why the Republican candidates planned to wrest control of future debates from the Republican National Committee (RNC) and mainstream media. This post will examine what happened in just the first question of the third Republican Presidential candidates' debate hosted by CNBC. Donald Trump and Ben Carson had negotiated an agreement with CNBC for the third debate to last only two hours, including commercials rather than exclusive of them. CNBC also had agreed to allow opening and closing statements from each candidate. Trump suspected that CNBC would not...

The latest poll out of #Iowa shows Carson ahead of Trump. And you know what that means? It means Iowa is about to become irrelevant. Here I am assuming evangelicals will band together to give Carson the win in Iowa before Trump goes on to run the table everywhere else. … A lot of things became irrelevant this election cycle.Old-guard Republican leadership became irrelevant after Trump emerged and rewrote the platform. Boehner literally quit and ran away. The Huffington Post moved Trump to the entertainment section and sealed their reputation as a useless wart on society. We all got to...

It does not often happen. On November 1, 2015, rare comity will occur among most of the Republican Presidential candidates. Campaign representatives will meet to plan the best way to handle their common enemy—the mainstream media in future debates. … This was supposed to be a debate about business and economic policies. How was it possible for moderator John Harwood to ask a vacuous touchy-feely question of Mike Huckabee as “when you look at him [Donald Trump], do you see someone with the moral authority to unite the country?” Understandably, the crowd booed the question, and other candidates chimed in...

Almost everyone, except the political Mossad, have entirely missed the obvious set-up within the Colorado RNC/GOPe debate. They had a plan, they had a very good plan, this was their home-turf, this was their home audience – this was personal. The GM, Reince, had gone along with the family and developed a political strategy; a very political strategy. The umpires: John Harwood, Carl Quintanilla, were pre-selected, vetted, nudged, and the necessary game-saving political ball was resting easily upon the tee…. But Jeb whiffed ! Yes, RNC Chairman Reince Prebius was angry last night post-debate, but he wasn’t necessarily frustrated by...

The #Donald Trump doctrine described in a foreign policy interview with The Guardian October 13, 2015 — Trump said of the stalled peace process between Israel and the Palestinians: “If we had the right leader in this country, possibly something could happen but obviously that is not an easy one.”He remained optimistic when confronted on his potential involvement with the Middle East: “I would love to see something happen, I would love to be involved in that,” Trump said of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “I think that maybe there is an answer to it, but it’s a complicated answer, there’s no...

This is a compilation of fake, hoax, and satirical websites from several sources (listed at the bottom of this article.) Some websites are malicious and some innocuous, but all of them can and do regularly fool many into believing their "#news" is real. All of these websites are aimed at conservatives, and designed to get them to believe and then promulgate false information. … I have grouped the websites into several areas of interest: Political, Religious, News, and Miscellaneous. News websites often do include #political fake news but also have much non-political content. The details for each website can be found on...

#Cher appears to be throwing her support behind 2016 Republican front-runner #Donald Trump. While some are rejoicing, I would not take it too seriously just yet. In a tweet Friday, the Grammy Award-winning singer tweeted " Never thought IÂ’d SayÂ… Donald Trump is a Giant Among Gop front runnerscruz=devilrubio=RAGE AGAINST WOMEN carson=JUST TELL ME WHY" When Cher had previously called Trump a "loudmouth bigot" four months ago, I knew at the time she was a Hollywood airhead. I was hoping for Trump to win just to see Cher fulfill her promise to move to Jupiter, even if it was only...

Republican presidential candidate #Donald Trump stated he would revoke passports from people who go overseas to fight for #ISIS and “You’re going to have to certainly look at” closing mosques “if the mosque is, you know, loaded for bear” on Tuesday’s “Varney & Co” on the Fox Business Network. ... He was also asked [relevant remarks begin in the second video] “Now, in the UK, in Britain, they’ve obviously got a terror problem. They’ve got a lot of youngsters going over to fight for ISIS, about — just under 1,000 are going over there, and they’ve got a whole new...
