Hillary Clinton suffered a serious health scare over the weekend, nearly collapsing at a 9/11 anniversary event in Manhattan. We later learned she had been diagnosed with pneumonia and was canceling a number of events after being advised by her doctor to get some rest. In light of these events, it’s a little awkward that Hillary will be featured in next month’s issue of Women’s Health magazine.

I am not a doctor -- as many readers have helpfully pointed out to me over the past 72 hours. So, I reached out to a real doctor to get some answers about Hillary Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis and what it might mean for her presidential campaign. Dr. Steven Simpson, the medical director of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at The University of Kansas Hospital, is that real doctor. Our conversation, conducted via email and edited only for grammar and flow, is below. FIX: Hillary Clinton’s campaign said she was ”overheated” at an event Sunday and she appeared to...

FULL TITILE:That’s Weird?… Huffington Post Takes Down ‘Hillary Clinton Has Parkinson’s’ Article After Her Collapse at Ground Zero On Sunday morning Bill Robinson posted an article at the Huffington Post titled: “Internet: Hillary Clinton Has Parkinson’s” huffpo-delete-parkinsons Bill Robinson even tweeted about it. Breaking News: Hillary Clinton rushed from 9/11 Memorial with "medical condition." "Internet:Clinton Has Parkinsons" https://t.co/qi4ujNCuyM — Bill Robinson (@RelentlessBill) September 11, 2016 But if you click on the link today you’ll see the article was taken down. The article is still available on Google cache. It sure looks a bit odd that Huffington Post would take this...

In the wake of Hillary Clinton’s physical collapse on Sept. 11 – which her campaign blames on pneumonia – some journalists are reporting secret, high-level meetings are taking place among Democrats to consider a possible replacement for Mrs. Clinton at the top of the presidential ticket, should the need arise. Hillary Clinton collapses while being carried into a van in New York City on Sept. 11, 2016 Among the reporters making the claim is David Shuster, an Emmy-award winning journalist based in New York City who formerly worked for MSNBC. After Sunday’s episode where Clinton apparently fainted in the arms...

Hillary Clinton had a cough - a nasty, recurring cough that she could not kick after a week of trying. So on Friday morning she went to her doctor's office, not far from her home in Chappaqua, N.Y., to find out what was wrong. Lisa R. Bardack’s diagnosis: pneumonia. Bardack prescribed antibiotics and suggested that Clinton cut back her schedule and get five days of rest. But the Democratic presidential nominee refused. The election was just 60 days away, and Clinton wanted to grind it out - and that, to her, meant not telling many of her aides, let alone...

Tyler DurdenSeptember 12, 2016 In all the confusion surrounding yesterday's Hillary health scare, the WaPo reported originally, and then revised, that none other than the Secret Service "broke its own protocol" in the confused, stunned context of Hillary Clinton's early departure from Ground Zero on Sunday. The Wapo brought attention to the widely circulated video of the Democratic presidential nominee's departure from the ceremony, in which Clinton can be seen leaning against a security bollard and then buckling and stumbling as her security detail helps her into a black van. Citing two former Secret Service agents who reviewed the video,...

Hillary Clinton embraced a young child after leaving her daughter's apartment - despite suffering from pneumonia. The Democratic presidential candidate was diagnosed with the illness after she collapsed at an 'incredibly stifling' 9/11 ceremony in New York. Pneumonia is a contagious illness that is spread from person-to-person when small droplets of water that contain the bacteria get into the air and people breathe them in. Those infected usually spread the disease by sneezing while in close contact with others, who then breathe in the bacteria, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....

Somebody must have sneezed into the punch bowl at the Democratic Party. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), revealed Monday that he, like Hillary Clinton, had also been diagnosed with pneumonia recently. Schumer, who is expected to take over the No. 1 leadership spot among Senate Democrats if they win back the majority in November, said he had been diagnosed with the illness several weeks ago.

When Joe Biden advised Hillary to “let them see your heart a little more” I suspect he had something a bit warmer and fuzzier in mind than the “basket of deplorable” reference. Even Spengler, hardly a Trumper at heart, sees the the importance of the deplorables: You can’t win an American presidential election without the deplorables’ vote. Deplorables are America’s biggest minority. They might even be the American majority… They’re the median family whose real income has fallen deplorably by 5% in the past ten years, the 35% of adult males who deplorably have dropped out of the labor force, the...

After Hillary Clinton’s “medical episode” today, it was suddenly announced she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. But that didn’t stop her from recklessly embracing a child on a New York City street on Sunday, despite the fact that the illness is contagious.

After sick Hillary Clinton fainted or had a seizure today, the media went into overdrive with hoaxes. Based on a note from sick Hillary’s doctor, the media agreed to say she had pneumonia. If sick Hillary has pneumonia, she infected a small child. Pneumonia is contagious. After her seizure, sick Hillary staged a photo op with a small child. Children have compromised immune systems. If sick Hillary indeed has pneumonia, she put a child’s life at risk.

Hillary and the DNC now have the excuse they were looking for to avoid debates with Trump. This will also giver her excuse for Hillary to quit attending all her tiny rallies (300 people at most) where she only appears for 15 minutes. After the recent coughing attack in Cleveland where she was coughing up strange looking globule. How did she speak with that in her mouth? Then factor the coughing attack on her plane during her so called "news conference". You know, where the media kissed her butt and asked her real tough questions like how is your day?...

Not very considerate.

George Noory made a brief mention that Art Bell has been in and out of the hospital here lately. He is back in now for problems with COPD (shortness of breath) Colitis and possible pneumonia. I can't get Art on my terrestrial radio, and am not yet in the habit of using my computer to get radio. So, I hadn't given Art any thought in quite a few months. I was saddened to hear that he's been feeling poorly for the last few months. Art is not quite sure when he'll be back on the air. He does have a...

Arguably one of the most anti-American filmmakers, Michael Moore is recovering from a days-long stay in the ICU after being diagnosed with pneumonia, even though "things didn't look good" soon after he was admitted. Moore revealed his health struggles, which led to the cancellation of multiple planned public appearances, in a pair of Facebook updates published Friday.

Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah is being treated for pneumonia and his condition has stabilized with the help of a breathing tube, according to a Royal Court statement issued Friday. The statement, which was released by Saudi state media, said the monarch, 90, had been transferred Thursday to a military hospital after experiencing shortness of breath and back pain. The Saudi Royal Court said medical tests showed the king had a respiratory infection. […] The health of the monarch is of extreme importance in the kingdom, where Abdullah holds absolute powers to enact laws and appoint ministers. His condition is also...

I had a bacterial pneumonia over this last week. It manifested as flu-like symptoms, at first: Low-grade fever, dizziness, chills, then sweats, and a constant fatigue. I thought nothing of it for the first day, having been the self-administered victim of minor food-poisoning before. However, this illness didn't seem to want to pass. By the second day, Sunday, I became more anxious as to the true cause of the malady. It was less likely to be a true influenza, because I had received a flu vaccine shot this year. So what was it? I almost thought to get to the...
