Hillary out, Joe Biden in?

12 Sep

Robert Wenzel on Hillary’s health as a huge liability for the Democrats and that “Uncle” Joe is patiently waiting in the wings.  Did Biden know the seriousness of Hillary’s illness and decided not to jump into the primaries but instead wait to be called upon to take her place?

Hillary’s really bad day

11 Sep

Every news station in America will be playing this video tonight. Is Hillary’s presidential campaign over?

 

“Several videos have emerged of Hillary’s “medical episode” at today’s 9/11 memorial service in New York.  The “episode” was originally noted by Fox News senior correspondent Rick Leventhal, who reported that Hillary suffered a “medical episode” when she stumbled and nearly fell after her knees buckled, and was then ushered into a van, in the process losing a shoe, as she was rushed away from ground zero in an early departure.”

Bipartisan blundering

11 Sep

“Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton participated in a public forum with veterans on Wednesday night, describing how they’d defeat Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Although they diverged on the methods their answers were the same — more war in the middle east. Clinton is playing the role of Ego in American foreign policy, rationalizing unethical decisions, owning up to some questionable decisions (Iraq) but not others (Libya). Meanwhile, Trump is the remorseless Id, the base impulse of empire to seize land and resources through the promise of deadly force. The Id knows colonialism isn’t about bringing the blessings of civilization to conquered, it’s about exploiting them and their resources. Trump seems to understand that in a way Clinton doesn’t, or at least won’t admit.”

Her revelation of how she feels about half the American population is more damning than Romney’s comments four years ago about the…”

Hillary walks because the FBI dropped the ball

08 Sep

In January I was told by a physician that one of his patients, a retired FBI agent, told him that they had “the goods on Hillary.”  Is “emailgate” the biggest coverup in American history?
