    BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let me ask you a quick question here, folks. If a Democrat campaign headquarters office, say a Hillary for president campaign office, in a sizable left-wing university town, if it's blown up, you think you'd hear about it? Nothing but that, right? If a Democrat headquarters, a Hillary campaign headquarters had been blown up, do you think the Drive-Bys would be blaming Hillary's rhetoric for it? Kind of doubt that. Do you think that may be all you would be hearing about? If a Democrat headquarters were blown up, do you think that you would hear anybody...
  • Exclusive: Democrats Use ‘Pony Express’ to Coordinate Between Clinton Campaign, Super PACs

    New video from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas exposes a system called the “Pony Express,” which Democratic consultants allegedly use to relay messages between Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and a constellation of super-PACs funded by wealthy donors. By law, campaigns are not permitted to coordinate with super PACs, especially in advertising, spending, and strategy, though they may communicate limited information about fundraising. The Hillary Clinton campaign is well aware of the legal boundaries. The Wikileaks email trove produced a legal memorandum addressed to Hillary For America (HFA), explaining what types of communication are permitted and prohibited under federal campaign finance laws....

    BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: There is a bombshell in the WikiLeaks document dump that has been discovered. It has just been made available. Now, to you and me it's a bombshell. I need to qualify. It's not gonna be a bombshell to anybody else. It's not, by the way, anything that you haven't considered. It's just that this is confirmation. What the WikiLeak email dump -- these are the leaked emails of Podesta from the Hillary campaign -- actually via email chains shows the Clinton campaign openly debating in emails how to cover-up the Benghazi emails. It shows them talking about...

    The New American ^ | 17 October 2016 | C. Mitchell Shaw
    Leaked e-mails published by WikiLeaks show that the mainstream media are not the only media going out of their way to push the election to Hillary Clinton. While the collusion between the Department of Justice and the Clinton campaign/Clinton Foundation and between the mainstream media and the Clinton campaign/Clinton Foundation have done much to help Clinton, social media has played a big part in the game, as well.In the modern age, data is a more valuable asset than most realize. Those who decide what you see can — to a large extent — manipulate what you think, or at least...

    As Donald Trump’s lewd remarks and insults have created a major divide in the political arena, the surprising support from evangelicals have surprised everyone. Pastor Franklin Graham took to his Facebook page Saturday to defend the evangelical leaders who have remained in Trump’s corner. “A lot of people are slamming evangelicals for supposedly giving Donald J. Trump a pass. That’s simply not true. No one is giving him a pass. I’m certainly not, and I’ve not met an evangelical yet who condones his language or inexcusable behavior from over a decade ago. However, he has apologized to his wife, his...

    Shortened title. Full title: Exclusive: O’Keefe Video Sting Exposes ‘Bird-Dogging’ — Democrats’ Effort to Incite Violence at Trump Rallies Democrats have used trained provocateurs to instigate violence at Republican events nationwide throughout the 2016 election cycle, including at several Donald Trump rallies, using a tactic called “bird-dogging,” according to a new video investigation released Monday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas. The goal of “bird-dogging”: to create a sense of “anarchy” around Donald Trump that would undermine his political support. Often, the tactic uses the most vulnerable people — including the elderly and disabled — to maximize shock value.

    MSFP News ^ | October 14, 2016
    Hillary Clinton went into hiding this week. Her campaign says she is preparing for the third and final debate next Wednesday. According to American Mirror she has nothing scheduled except fundraisers until Wednesday night. Coming off the heels of two private fundraisers in California on Thursday, Clinton doesn’t have any public events scheduled between today and the final presidential debate on October 19. That’s five days. Neither leading Clinton schedule tracking website — HillarySpeeches.com and WillHillaryWin.com — list a single event for her, as of Friday morning. Hillary knows the media will do her bidding while she is away. Yesterday...

    A new video investigation released Monday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action shows how Democratic-aligned organizations used a tactic called ‘bird-dogging’ to incite violence and chaos at Trump rallies for media consumption. A key Clinton operative is captured on camera saying, “It doesn’t matter what the friggin’ legal and ethics people say, we need to win this m*th**f***er.” In the video, Democratic activists Robert Creamer and Scott Foval reveal their strategy to create a sense of “anarchy” in and around Donald Trump events over the course of the campaign. Foval tells an undercover operative: “One of the things we do...

    Josh Earnest, Hillary Spokesperson makes a joke that falls flat (on his face) during press conference today. He completely dismisses the idea of a pre-debate drug test with a comment about Trump "sniffing his way through the debates." Lower than snakes belly retort that shows why the press pool hates Hillary and probably will not love covering her. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/10/17/whs_earnest_candidate_who_snorted_his_way_through_the_debates_is_accusing_the_other_candidate_of_taking_drugs.html

    Florida is a swing state that could determine the outcome of the US election, where Hispanic voters play a key role. Florida's Hispanic and Latino voters are divided, with many older Cuban Americans backing the Republicans. In the Little Havana neighbourhood of Miami, Trump campaigners have set their sights on an unlikely group of Americans: Hispanic voters.... A "Trump-Pence" sign appeared propped up against a wall this evening,... But even without the sign, displays of support for the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, continued into the evening. Trump's rise has relied strongly on anti-immigrant and anti-Hispanic rhetoric targeted at mainly...

Going in, NBC agreed to do 70 percent of the piece on work of the Foundation and 30 percent about the book. Cynthia McFadden was the interviewer and didn't ask one question about work of the Foundation. Not one. Absurdly, NBC is still promising Craig that they will stick by 70-30 agreement by using footage of the events and Cynthia describing the work of the Foundation. Not sure...

    Some people believe there is no choice for president. “We are being asked to settle” they say. I disagree. We are being asked to chose a specific political path which is being forged by the two most controversial candidates for president we have seen in our lifetime. Donald Trump is a candidate who is called to the presidency for the purpose of repairing America. Hillary Clinton is a candidate whose purpose in life is to be president. First Lady Michelle Obama said as much at a campaign speech this week when she said, “[Clinton] has waited her turn.” Trump may...
