    Washington Examiner ^ | Oct 20 2016 | T. BECKET ADAMS
    Talk radio host Laura Ingraham claimed Thursday morning that conservatives who refuse to vote for GOP nominee Donald Trump explicitly support abortion. "They're standing with the woman who stood up there today and said, 'I'm hundred percent for Roe v. Wade and partial birth abortion," Ingraham said in reference to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's performance Wednesday evening at the third and final presidential debate.

    Just when it seemed we could not get any more email leak excitement, here comes Wikileaks with what it claims is the first batch of emails obtained from a secret address used by president Barack Obama (bobama@ameritech.com).

  • Dismemberment Abortions Tear Babies Limb From Limb, Hillary Clinton Calls That “a Scare Tactic”

    Life News ^ | October 20, 2016 | STEVEN ERTELT
    Dream last night’s presidential debate, pro-abortion presidential candidate Hillary Clinton denied the brutality of abortion. She called Donald Trump’s statement that she favors ripping unborn babies from the womb a scare tactic. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT “I think it’s terrible if you go with what Hillary is saying in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby. Now you can say that that’s okay and Hillary can say that that’s okay, but it’s not okay with me. Because based on what she’s saying...
  • Obama: Trump's Rigged Election Rhetoric 'Dangerous'

    NBC NEWS ^ | 10/20/16 | Andrew Rafferty
    President Barack Obama on Thursday delivered his most stinging rebuke yet of Donald Trump's rigged election rhetoric, calling it "dangerous" and saying the Republican nominee is "doing the work of our adversaries." "When you suggest rigging or fraud without a shred of evidence, when last night at the debate Trump becomes the first major party nominee in American history to suggest that he will not conceded despite losing the vote, and then says today that he will accept the results if he wins, that is not a joking matter," Obama said during a campaign stop for Hillary Clinton in Miami...

    American Thinker ^ | June 14, 2016 | Thomas Lifson
    According to Sarah Westwood, at the Washington Examiner, fewer than half of the projects undertaken by the Clinton Global Initiative since 2005 have been completed, with roughly a third underway and more than 200 others "stalled" or "unfulfilled." Between 2005-2015 there were 3,452 commitments made through CGI. Of those, according to the newly disclosed report, six percent were “unfulfilled,” or failed. But that number might not tell the whole story. An additional 11 percent of commitments in the report — and excluded from the analysis — are labeled “unresponsive,” which means that no progress has been reported in more than...
  • Group of Statisticians, Actuaries Reveals Trump Landslide in the Making

    If you listened to the mainstream media, you might be tempted to believe that Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leads Republican rival Donald Trump in the polls by double digits. However, it’s no secret that polls can be manipulated to a yield certain result. A group of statisticians and actuaries compiled data from previous polls to show how just how unreliable polls can be. They took data from a recent Fox poll from Oct. 14 that showed Clinton ahead of Trump by seven points and a WSJ/NBC poll from Oct. 16 that showed Clinton with an 11-point lead. The statisticians...

    Breitbart ^ | 10.20.16 | Charles Spiering
    President Barack Obama offers multiple excuses for why health insurance premiums continue to skyrocket, including blaming Republicans and insurance companies for the problems. He complains that too many reporters spend more time discussing premium increases than explaining why he isn’t responsible for them. “No, I had nothing to do with that,” Obama said, calling it “complicated” despite the “hysteria” that was growing. Obama traveled to Florida to argue that Obamacare was working well, but needed to be fixed

    MIAMI (AP) — Conservative activist James O’Keefe has released secretly recorded, selectively edited video footage that includes a Democratic activist bragging about deploying troublemakers at rallies held by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. After O’Keefe began releasing videos this week, two Democratic operatives stopped working on the presidential race and both the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s campaign denounced the tactics described in the footage. Both said the activities described never took place. O’Keefe’s group, Project Veritas, promised to release additional videos ahead of the Nov. 8 election. The central character in the recordings is Scott Foval, a Wisconsin-based liberal...

    A new Wikileaks document reveals Hillary took Algeria off the US terror watch list after they made a hefty donation to the Clinton Foundation’s Haiti relief project. How is that legal? The Clinton camp was discussing Joe Scarborough’s discussion on the Algerian donations to the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton advisors defended the move in the email saying it’s “legal gray area.”

    Donald Trump was mocked for trying to address Haiti based on his experience "at Little Haiti the other day in Florida," but while his takedown didn't really get off the ground, he did manage to make his main point. "I want to tell you, they hate the Clintons, because what's happened in Haiti with the Clinton Foundation is a disgrace. And you know it, and they know it, and everybody knows it," Trump said. It is a train of thought Trump has been following for a few weeks now. As The Washington Post writes: Trump comes late to Haiti. The...

    Donald Trump is more similar to the Founders of our country than anyone who has run for the presidency in my lifetime. What?! What?! Didn't Trump just jump an entire school of sharks in the third debate, saying he didn't know if he would accept the outcome of the election. Isn't he finished? Are you out of your bloody mind, Simon? Okay, maybe, it wouldn't be the first time... but hear me out. Put briefly: If Donald Trump believes—as many of us do—that the FBI is corrupt, the Justice Department is corrupt, the other party is hiring violent paid thugs...

    During last night’s final presidential debate, the issue of the Second Amendment came up. Hillary Clinton tried her best to say she would protect the right to bear arms, but wants “sensible regulation”… whatever that’s supposed to mean. I want people who shouldn’t have guns not to be able to threaten you, kill you or members of your family.

They all might as well be robotic pods being programmed by somebody. Every damn one of them has the same reaction to virtually anything in that debate last night that anybody's reacting to. It doesn't matter where you go. You could go to Fox. You could...
