    LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Reuters) - Rats have been evicted from the Arkansas governor's mansion but the lingering effects of a rodent infestation, including noxious odors, require its study to be demolished and rebuilt, officials said this week. The rodents, in a non-partisan manner, have been a problem for former Governor Mike Beebe, a Democrat who served from 2007 to 2015, and for current Governor Asa Hutchinson, a Republican who has served since then. "You can walk in (the study) today and still smell the rat stench. It looks fine, but it's hideous smelling," current first lady Susan Hutchinson told a...

    During this week POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama campaigned for Hilllary Clinton In Philaelphia, Pennsyvania, Hillary Clinton, returned to the campaign trail yesterday and Tim Kaine, also was on the HRC campaign trail this week. The Clinton campaign said that Obama draw about 6,000 people to his downtown rally for HRC. The real number of attendess was closer to 1,500-2,000 at the most. In the "Obama Philly Stronghold" where Obama received 110% of the the vote in 2012, his number of supporters was dismal. It gets worse....Clinton drew just 300 supporters to her rally yesterday in North Carolina & Kaine drew...

    While walking down the street one day a corrupt Hillary Clinton was tragically hit by a car and died. Her soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," ; says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says Hillary Clinton. "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day...

    Like some of you, I've been a bit puzzled how this subliminal Clinton/Democrat partisan and ersatz political pollster Larry Sabato character found his way to Thomas Jefferson's UVA. Turns out old Larry, like Bill Clinton and many other left leaning double dome "experts", was a RHODES SCHOLAR! Jefferson must be whirling in his grave up the hill there in Charlottesville! Don't have bandwidth to explore that here but if YOU want to explore the Marxist roots of where we find ourselves today, pick up a copy of "Tragedy and Hope" (available several on-line sellers)) by Bill Clinton's old chum and...

    For the last week or so I've been comparing the current data with the data from August 25. There are some interesting findings. Here are the weekly totals for the last 3 weeks: Date Trump Clinton Tied 8/25 191 332 15 9/1 191 303 44 9/8 226 294 18 9/15 258 274 6 So three weeks ago, Trump needed to gain 79 electoral votes, and Clinton could afford to lose 62. By last week, Trump had already gained 53 electoral votes (67% of those he needs), and Clinton had lost 38 (62% of those she can afford to lose). It's...

    The title says it all. Clearly, money given to PACs stays with the PAC, but what about money donated to Hillary's campaign? I think she can keep it if she quits, but could she give it to the new nominee? I can easily foresee months of bickering and indecision while major donors feel fleeced and close their checkbooks.

    We just got back form a 2000 mile driving trip. We went from Snohomish Washington (1 hour north o Seattle) to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. So we covered Eastern Washington, Montana and a little bit of Idaho and Wyoming. To make it easy I kept track of the Trump/Pence signas and my wife counted the Clinton/Keine signs. She had the easier job. Final tally: Trump/Pence = 26 Clinton/Keine = 0 A total shut out for the inevitable Hillary.

    Just realized something. Donald and Ivanka made the announcements months ago about this. We just missed it. First, he called Ivanka, "My secret weapon", then she said at the RNC Convention, Equal Pay, Child Care. It's been said many times, he must win big to overcome election fraud and everything up until then. MSM Wolman Rink and the new DC Hotel are proof that he won't be costing taxpayers any more money. AND It's a (tax revenue producer) Pro life platform/benefit. Non tax revenue producers already get this stuff free. (Who's he doing bad with? Female and female pro life...

    Over the course of the past year I have opined that HRC would have to drop out of the race due to an unspecified illness. That speculation was previously based on the multiple criminal/security issues of Benghazi, classified emails, selling access, etc. finally catching up with her. Now, with actual physical ailments of a neurological or vascular nature manifesting on a regular basis (in addition to her criminal behavior...) I am wondering... Who at the DNC keeps the hourly spreadsheet of what the excuse of the hour is? Previously, it was kept on a daily basis, which the Apparatchik media...
  • FLASHBACK: Clinton to Obama: Let's debate like Lincoln

    09/13/2016 12:18:33 AM PDT · by TigerClaws · 7 replies
    Sen. Hillary Clinton called for a Lincoln-Douglas-style debate with no moderator against her rival, Sen. Barack Obama, who says no more debates are needed before the May primaries. In a TV interview to air Sunday, Obama flat-out denied any possibility that he would take part in a debate with Clinton before the next big round of primaries. Shortly after maintaining that he isn't "ducking" debates with his Democratic rival, the Illinois senator admitted that the two hopefuls are "not going to have debates between now and Indiana." Voters in Indiana and North Carolina will head to the polls May 6....
  • The fix seems in for Alain Juppé to become President of France.

    Whenever French opinion polls compare projected outcomes of the 2017 election, they invariably pull a sneak: When testing Nicolas Sarkozy, they include would-be spoilers Emmanuel Macron and/or Francois Bayrou. But when testing Alain Juppé at the same time, they omit both "third-party" candidates. Well, given French elections, they're more like 37th parties, but you catch my drift. Macron is a former Socialist who left the party over Hollande's extremism. Bayrou is a perennial Centrist candidate. They pull about 15-20 points away from Sarkozy. The result is that Republicans (as the UMP party members now call themselves) are told that if...

    Well, Team Hillary has decided what "they" - and just WHO "they" are and WHO chose who "they" are is never asked - are going to do about Hillary's near-continual collapses and failures to finish events even during a sleepy, near comatose campaign schedule. The phrase is "Power Through" .... And you will see her slavishly devoted national press corpse suddenly use "Power Through" in dozens of excerpts and headlines the next few hours. All expressed in actual terms of relief and enthusiasm by a breathless propaganda national press corpse. It is a common, now routine Clintonian pattern. An event...
