Hillary Clinton favored continued enrichment by Iran

Well, well, well … today we learned that it was Hillary Clinton who opened the door to accepting a change in U.S. policy that would allow Iran to continue to produce nuclear fuel.

President Barack Obama talks with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton about his decision to send her to the Middle East while attending the U.S.-ASEAN Summit in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Nov. 20, 2012.

After an unproductive secret meeting between Clinton’s foreign policy aide Jake Sullivan and Iranian diplomats in Oman in July 2012, and in a series of meetings in Washington over the following six months, Clinton and Obama concluded that we would have to let Iran continue to enrich uranium at small levels if an agreement was to succeed.

Very interesting, since it was Clinton who, during the 2008 campaign, called Obama naïve for believing he could directly negotiate with Iran’s regime. Continue reading →

Sure, Hillary, we believe you

“I always thought this would be a competitive race.” – Hillary Clinton

Hillary never believed the “anointed” and “entitled” clichés about her run for the presidency. (natinalreview.com)

Yeah, Hillary … while the rest of us were hearing words like “entitled”… “anointed”… “it’s her time” and “her turn,” you want us to believe you were thinking otherwise. You knew all along that Bernie Sanders would be as popular as he has demonstrated.

It took a bit of digging, but I found a piece by Myra Adams I had remembered seeing in The Daily Beast some time ago. “Not having a real primary will be a tremendous advantage for Hillary, thus freeing her up to concentrate on the general-election battle…,” wrote Adams, “claiming any opposition would be “symbolic.” Continue reading →

Hillary stupid? I’ll stick with liar and untrustworthy

I made fun of Hillary Clinton’s amateurish campaign logo in my June 20, 2015 post, “Hillary Clinton honest and trustworthy?” and predicted it would be used by creative cartoonists.

The accompanying cartoon with Hillary wearing a T-shirt was the creative work of one of my favorite editorial cartoonists, Michael Ramirez, whose work appears regularly in Investor’s Business Daily.… read more

Global warming? Follow the money

As President Obama embarks on his 11-day climate change tour, the Wall Street Journal claims “global warming is expected to emerge as a key issue.”

WSJ bases its prediction on a Pew Research Center report finding that 74 percent of American adults say there is “solid evidence” of global warming, and that 46 percent believe the warming trend is “mostly due to human activity.”

You can expect to hear that its “proven science” backed by hundreds of leading scientists, supported by the majority of Americans. And count on him to scoff at deniers. Continue reading →

“Mistake” and “sloppy” becomes “careless”

The liberal Democrat water carriers are at it again; this time to defend Hillary Clinton.

Remember back in 2004 when it was revealed that Sandy Berger, President Bill Clinton’s national security advisor, had stolen classified documents from the National Archives? It was called “a mistake” and “sloppy.”

Despite Sandy Berger’s theft of classified documents during the Bill Clinton era, Hillary hired him as an advisor during her 2008 campaign. (freerepublic.com)

Theft of Top Secret documents is a Federal crime that is supposed to carry extremely serious penalties, but the water carriers for the Clinton administration claimed “a mistake” in most instances is not a crime, and certainly being “sloppy” isn’t a crime.

Berger had stuffed documents critical of the Clinton administration’s approach to terrorism in his pants and socks and hid them under a construction trailer near the Archives, later to be retrieved. The theft was an attempt to keep the information from the 9/11 Commission and eventually the American public. He later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and was fined just $50,000.

kramerontheright is on point

On Monday morning I posted a piece, “Guess who will pay for student loan forgiveness,” for this blog. It had been on my “to do” list since Hillary Clinton began spouting her plan to write-off those loans to win votes.

I wrote how it was a bad idea when the Obama administration took over student loans in 2010, “and a disaster today.”

Lo and behold, that night I read how “President Obama Obama turned a relatively small, privately run, guaranteed student-loan program into a massive government-run disaster,” in Investor’s Business Daily entitled, “Obama’s $1.2 Trillion Student Loan Program Is Falling Apart.”

How nice it feels to be on point with a respected publication. Continue reading →

Guess who will pay for student loan forgiveness?

Five years ago, I wrote a piece critical of the Obama administration’s takeover of the student loan program. It was a bad idea then, and a disaster today.

In a sweeping move to cut commercial banks out of the federal loan market, Congress voted to establish still another bureaucracy, ending the 45-year old bank-based program.… read more

Did Hillary Clinton’s naivete’ unintentionally tip off Benghazi attackers?

“I’m certainly aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.” – Hillary Clinton

If Hillary Clinton neither sent nor received classified information, just how did she carry out the normal day to day business of a secretary of state?

Even her daily itinerary should have been classified. Friendly and unfriendly countries alike want to know who she’s meeting with and where.… read more

Scott Walker’s comment on richest counties around Washington DC goes practically unnoticed

140807_POL_WALKER_jpg_CROP_promo-mediumlargeslate.com)

Scott Walker’s comment on the wealth of counties around the nation’s capital hardly reported. (slate.com)

While making his point that Hillary Clinton believes she can grow the economy by growing Washington, Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker cited that six of the top ten wealthiest counties are around the nation’s capital. He was referring to the median income of those working in the nation’s capital.

It’s unfortunate the remark was meaningless to the average viewer, and we can thank our low information media for ignoring the statement. He’s made the point several times during his campaign; part of his plan to reduce the size of government. Continue reading →

Are Hillary’s followers about to call her bluff?

“Trusting someone to fight for them and trusting someone, these are two different things.” -CNN’s Briana Keilar

On Aug. 1, I wrote how I believed Hillary Clinton had reached the level of incompetence defined by Laurence J. Peter in his 1968 book, The Peter Principle.

I am beginning to see signs of her popularity shrinking, but I can’t see how she won’t be nominated to represent the Democrat party in 2016. But it’s not going to help her with Independents and Republican women.

CNN’s Briana Keilar asked Hillary about the trust issue during an otherwise session of softball questions. (ccnpressroom)

It began with the visible signs of arrogance. Her refusal to hold meetings with the press; only sitting for interviews with friendly members. Her continued insistence that she did no wrong by destroying e-mails, classified or otherwise. Her belief that she is listening to the voices of the middle class in those round table meetings with a handful of supporters. Her “entitled” projection as someone to whom rules of law and conduct don’t apply.

Her arrogance came through in the interview she did with CNN’s Briana Keilar on July 7, when, for the most part, she was fed softball questions. The atmosphere changed, however, when Keilar said, “We see by our recent poll that nearly six in 10 Americans say they don’t believe that you’re honest and trustworthy. Do you understand why they feel that way?” Continue reading →
