This campaign season never fails to disappoint, not even for a day. Despite incredibly strong denials to the contrary, last weekend it was proved for all the world to see that there is something wrong with Hillary Clinton. The campaign officially calls it pneumonia, but the public record clearly shows “something else going on.” Another doozy came later in the week, when Colin Powell’s hacked emails were released. He had some choice words for Trump, Hillary, and especially Bill Clinton. What did we learn? Finally, the Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte ordered that U.S. military advisers leave the Philippines. The following...

Recently released hacked emails from former Secretary of State and retired General Colin Powell’s gmail account detail communications between Powell and Jeffrey Leeds, the founder of a private equity firm and a Democratic mega donor. Leeds wrote, in reference to Hillary Clinton, “It’s the one prize she wants. She has everything else, and she HATES the President (‘that man’ as the Clintons call him) kicked her ass in 2008.

Powell: "I would rather not have to vote for her" "Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up" "Dumb" Powell threw a "mini tantrum" at Clinton campaign People "dislike her intensely"

"I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect. A 70-year old person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home."

Powell sent the email, one of thousands leaked by the organization DC Leaks, to private equity tycoon Jeffrey Leeds Aug. 18, 2015, a few days after Clinton’s private email server was seized by the FBI.

Bush warned “Hillary’s mafia” about using him as a fall guy in the email scandal hanging over the Democratic presidential nominee.

In the emails, which were obtained by The Intercept, Powell wrote to at least one confidant about his repeated warning to Clinton not to blame him for the scandal. “I told her staff three times not to try that gambit. I had to throw a mini tantrum at a Hampton’s party to get their attention. She keeps tripping into these ‘character’ minefields,”...

As new emails emerge, Hillary’s defense is that the general made her do it. When Bill and Hillary Clinton get caught for bad behavior, they follow a familiar pattern. First deny, then call it old news, then roll out the attack machine of media and political allies to trash whoever needs to be collateral damage to save them. The private email-Clinton Foundation saga is now in phase three, and no less than Colin Powell has been drafted as roadkill. The Powell-made-Hillary-do-it defense emerged late last week in two parts. The New York Times reported that FBI interview notes turned over...

Hillary and Bill Clinton have been around the national security block for at least twenty-one years Hillary Rodman Clinton (“HRC”)‘s campaign for President has been wrought with controversy. But the most telling issue is Hillary’s direct run-in with national security. This article shines a bright light on why Colin Powell said: “Don’t Pin It On Me!” Safeguard Failures Handling Classified Information Agency Heads by law have the critical responsibility to safeguard classified information. President Obama made this crystal clear in his Executive Order 13526 (12/29/09). It is quite apparent that HRC did not have adequate safeguards in place for classified...

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has claimed that she told the truth to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) when she was interviewed last month about her private email server and her mis-handling of classified information. However, discrepancies between what she told the FBI that former Secretary of State Colin Powell told her about using private email while in office, and what Powell himself says that he told her, indicate that she did not tell the truth to the FBI. For months, Democrats have tried to deflect controversy over Clinton’s private email server, and her destruction of emails her attorneys...

Former Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice has no recollection of a conversation at a 2009 dinner party where Hillary Clinton reportedly claims that Gen. Colin Powell advised her to use a personal email account. Rice’s inability to recall the conversation makes her the second person to publicly undercut Clinton’s claim. Both NBC News and The New York Times reported last week that Clinton told the FBI that Powell offered her the email advice during a dinner party at former Sec. of State Madeleine Albright’s home. Rice and another Henry Kissinger, another former secretary of state, were present at the dinner...

Hillary's people are 'trying to pin it on me.' I’m always baffled when the left uses Colin Powell as a defense or a positive example. This is the man who basically sold the Iraq war which was, as any delusional bleeding heart will tell you, a ‘super-evil blood-for-oil monstrosity, predicated on a lie.’ However, the second he can be used to prop up one of their terrible candidates, Democrats forget all about their deeply-felt Iraq war rancor and hold Powell up as a sterling example of American greatness and altruism. Hillary Clinton has been doing this for months, in a...
