about our getting another pooch to take Hairy's place. As if another could.

Iran sent out four P.T type boats a few days ago to harass one of our Destroyers traversing The Straits of Hormuz.
This came the day after we shipped Iran more money claiming it was interest owed. Obama said about the reason we sent $400 million in cash (ransom payment) was because we do not have banking relations with Iran, yet, the $1.3 million in interest was sent in 13 separate checks.
No one, except FOX's James Rosen, seems to give much of a damn how many lies Obama tells because they are afraid of being called racists or maybe Americans no longer give much of a damn about anything anymore as long as "entitlement checks" keep coming.

Everyone is now mad at Trump because he is apparently modifying his stance regarding illegal immigrants. When Trump announced he was going to send 11 million illegals back everyone laughed and criticized Trump. Now that Trump is learning he overstated his ability to do what he wanted and said and is now pledging to enforce existing immigration laws, which Obama has not, he is being attacked for flip flopping. Have we forgotten about Obama and his recent "ransom" payment to Iran?
Should Trump become president I assume, because he is a neophyte at politics, he will find a lot he would like to do and campaigned on will be beyond his ability. That said, I also believe Trump, unlike someone else I know, will work through technical impediments, maintain a steady course and work with Congress as opposed to disregarding elected officials (Congress) and the Constitution.
I further believe Trump is logical, has some core beliefs that are rational and he will break his neck to get our nation back on track if at all humanly possible. I also believe Hillary will pursue Obama's agenda which has run the train into a ditch.
I find it interesting Trump is being taken to the woodshed for shifting on immigration and yet, Obama was allowed to pay ransom and explain it away as a victory of saving more than we owed.

Why has the press and media not revealed this? photo.php-fbid=

Newt adds his two cents. (See 1 below.)
====
Hillary disregarded using technology that was designed to protect our nation's security because it restricted her and Bill's ability to conduct personal business, working through their lackeys, so they could further enrich themselves through their foundation.
Every time I hear Hillary say she is going to fight for me and has my interests at heart I get ill. Her first interest is, has been and always will be her own self. Hillary and Bill care more about themselves and retaining power than anything else. They are the most disingenuous and corrupt couple since Bonnie and Clyde.
One would think a person running for president and who has not held a press conference in over 6 months would be called on the carpet but the press and media are not interested in Hillary's lies and shenanigans. They are more interested in attacking and trashing Trump.
Ultimately for Hillary it might just come down to two circumstances: Go To The Big House in D.C. or go to another big house somewhere else and where she truly belongs.
WAKE UP AMERICA!

Why does the impediment to tranquility become the one appeased? (See 2 below.)
I posted this many memos ago and it is very harsh but it tends to compliment the article in 2 below and how I characterized it.. Though I am posting it, I do not share all of the points Mr. Reed makes but the thrust is hard to totally refute. .(See 2a below.)
===
I watched two minutes of Hannity and Trump at a Town Hall Meeting in Texas last night and it confirmed what I wrote several memos ago. Trump's campaign people are fools to allow him to go within a mile of Hannity. What I saw makes a mockery of how to campaign for one of the world's most important positions in the free world.

1) Clinton Foundation Must Shut Down Now
Dick:
The Clintons’ continual response to scandal is to lie, to stonewall, and above all, to blame Republicans--or as Hillary famously put it, the vast right wing conspiracy--for opposing them.
On the genuinely scandalous Clinton Foundation, however, the toughest and most penetrating critiques are now coming not just from Republicans, but from Hillary Clinton’s Democratic friends and her allies in the media--who are widely calling for the Foundation to be closed.
Last week, former Pennsylvania Governor and Democratic National Committee Chairman Ed Rendell said that “I definitely think if she wins the presidency they have to disband it.”
“It’d be impossible to keep the foundation open without at least the appearance of a problem,” Rendell explained.
The same week, the liberal editorial board of the Boston Globe wrote, “The once-and-maybe-future first family will have plenty to keep them busy next year if Hillary Clinton defeats Donald Trump in November. The foundation should remove a political — and actual — distraction and stop accepting funding. If Clinton is elected, the foundation should be shut down.”
The San Diego Union-Tribune explained why: “These special interests are not giving money because the foundation is such an effective charitable organization; a 2013 New York Times investigation made it seem chaotic. They are not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to hear shopworn speeches because they expect to obtain profound insights. They want the Clintons’ help, and they’re willing to pay for it.”
Disclosures as recent as last week suggest that is exactly what the Clintons provided.
Emails made public through a Freedom of Information Act Request by Judicial Watch revealed, for instance, that Hillary Clinton’s State Department aides fielded a request from Foundation executive Doug Band on behalf of Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain, who has donated more than $30 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Band noted in his request that the Crown Prince was “a good friend of ours.”
Huma Abedin, a Clinton aide at the nexus of the Secretary’s official, business, and Foundation interests, noted in her email to Band that the Crown Prince had previously failed to secure a meeting through normal State Department channels. Two days later, Abedin wrote back to Band to advise him that the meeting was confirmed.
This event was far from unique. As the Associated Pressreported Tuesday, “More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money - either personally or through companies or groups - to the Clinton Foundation.”
The report found that “combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.”
Bowing in part to pressure from fellow Democrats and their media allies, Bill Clinton said this week that the Clinton Foundation will stop accepting foreign donations if his wife becomes president.
Yet the appearance of corruption, the obvious and inevitable conflicts of interests, and the unseemly arrangements that prompted that concession from the former president were equally clear when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
The Clintons didn’t care. They repeatedly violated their ethics agreement with the Obama administration to disclose and seek approval for foreign donors and speech clients.
Now they are making similar promise to the American people in order to ease Hillary’s path to the presidency. But just as the Obama administration was foolish to take them at their word, so would be the American people today.
The Clintons have proven they are neither transparent nor trustworthy. At the same time, there must be absolutely no question that an American president is above foreign influence-buying. That is why the only acceptable action for them, after all of this scandal, is to shut down the Clinton Foundation right now, before the election--and eliminate the corruption once and for all.
Your Friend,

2)The Islamisation of the Olympic Games.
By Anne Marie Waters
‘One world, one anthem’. So goes the advert from electronics giant Samsung for the recent Olympic Games in Rio. “Through our unity and harmony”, it declares, “we’ll remain at peace as one”. It would be lovely, but it isn’t going to happen. Necessary for their promotion of internationalism, the globalists continue to tell The Big Lie: that we are all alike, we all want to live in peace, and we all seek to inhabit a world of harmony and tolerance. (So why not bring down the borders? Think of all the cheap labour).
The internationalist happy-clappy establishment was all over the Olympic games as one might expect, and as one might expect, happy-clappy was abruptly interrupted, as are all attempts at global harmony, by an aggressive and intolerant religion that will only become happy-clappy when everyone adheres to its rule. The appeasement of Islam was made a priority in Rio because only to appease this bully, thereby minimising its negative contribution, can we keep The Big Lie alive. It is therefore inevitable that the Islamisation of the Olympic Games takes place, just like it does everywhere else.
How do you recognise Islamisation? Two things are essential – primitive fear of a woman’s body, as well as hate and contempt for all things Jewish. The Islamisation of the Olympics of course heavily features both. The icing on the Islamising cake is not simply the acceptance of appalling behaviour, but its celebration. We must celebrate because only by celebrating can we avoid all the problems that come with disapproval. We don’t want to spend the Olympics arguing about religious sensitivity, so it’s easier to just let Islam do its thing – more peaceful even.
The Washington Post reported mid-Olympics on the “shocking” hostility towards Israeli athletes by Muslims at the Games. On this occasion, the left-wing was unable to blame open Jew-hatred on the ‘far-Right’, and so Muslim anti-Semitism was exposed.
The most controversial incident involved a bus occupied by Lebanese athletes, but intended also for Israelis. The head of the Lebanese delegation, already on the bus, physically prevented Israelis from boarding. An Israeli athlete described it on his Facebook page: “The bus driver opened the door, but this time the head of the Lebanese delegation blocked the aisle and entrance. The organizers wanted to avoid an international and physical incident and sent us away to a different bus.” That’s right, in order to prevent Muslim anti-Semitism becoming an international incident, Muslim anti-Semitism was accommodated, and the Jews were sent away on a special bus just for them. The head of the Lebanese delegation received a “reprimand” for his efforts. That’ll show ‘im.
Then we have the Saudi athlete (who shouldn’t even have been there because her country should be barred from all international events on account of being the world’s leading medieval savage), who forfeited a judo match against an Israeli, claiming to have injured herself. There was no such claim from Ala Ghasoun though, a Syrian (remember, Syrians should all be welcomed West with open arms) who refused to fight an Israeli in the qualifiers because doing so “would mean that I, as an athlete, and Syria, as a state, recognize the state of Israel.”
Now the misogyny – Islamisation can’t take place without it. While the treatment of Israeli athletes by Muslim anti-Semites was appeased, the inclusion in the Games of primitive Islamic notions about women was overtly celebrated.
Nothing is rejoiced more by the human rights brigade, or what now passes for feminism, than the covering up of women’s bodies. The concealing of temptresses is the new feminism. Needless to say, the Olympics embraced this new feminism with full gusto, because if it didn’t, there’d be trouble.
Egyptian athlete Doaa Elghobashy for example competed in beach volleyball while covered from head to toe in Islamic coverings. “I have worn the hijab for 10 years,” said Elghobashy “it doesn’t keep me away from the things I love to do, and beach volleyball is one of them”. One suspects it would keep her away from fewer things if she didn’t wear it, but that doesn’t appear to be an option. Instead, we must celebrate just how many wonderful things an Egyptian woman can do while she declares other women “immodest”. Keep in mind that 99% of Egyptians suffer sexual harassment in their lives, whether covered or not. None of this is relevant though, because Islam is involved. All those years of work to stop sex assaults being blamed on “immodesty” go straight out the window - because Islam says so and we must all go along with it or there might be trouble.
There was further celebration in track and field when Afghan and Saudi women ran in hijabs. ‘History is made’ declared some, as if accommodating crazed misogyny and bringing it right in to the mainstream is a form of progress. It is the opposite, but we can’t say so because Islam is involved and there might be trouble.
One of the most disturbing realities of life is that bullying works. Our elite continues to pretend that we are all coming together in a global utopia, but Islamic bullying just keeps ruining the party. Islam demands special treatment and supremacy, and gets it. Internationalism can only cope with Islamic brutality if it pretends such a thing does not exist. Acceptance of violent theocracy, we are told, is tolerance, inclusion, respect. At the UN, vicious theocracies like Saudi Arabia, which ought to be shunned by all decent people, are not only allowed to continue their barbarism, but this barbarism is actively disguised by allowing such countries to sit on boards advocating rights they don’t believe in or practice. This occurs while resolution after resolution is passed condemning the tiny democracy of Israel.
That is how internationalism works, the biggest bully at the table must be appeased or the whole thing comes crashing down. They appease at the UN, in the EU, in countries all over the world, and of course at the Olympic Games. The obvious Islamisation of our world, in order to pacify its nastiest bully, is continuing unabated.

Black Power: A Done Deal
By Fred Reed
It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should
dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit.
Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified , where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks.
Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple or illegal voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Jim, or did Conrad write The Jim of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven't read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks.
We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them - as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums . One might think that a single set of laws should and would apply to all citizens, and that things should be done without regard to race, creed, color, sex, or national origin, and that all should have the same rights and responsibilities. It is, sadly, not so. The dominance of the media by blacks is impressive.
If a white shoots a black to defend himself, it becomes national news for weeks, or months, and riots follow. But when blacks engage in their unending racial attacks on whites, the media demurely look the other way. The attackers are never black. They are "teens." Reporters who say otherwise are likely to be fired. In effect, the thirteen percent censor the national press.
Much of their mastery has become so deeply ingrained as no longer to be noticed. There is the DC Hesitation . In the bars and restaurants of Washington, a man weary of an incompetent affirmative-action hire in his office will, before commenting to a friend, lean forward, lower his voice, and look furtively over both shoulders to see whether anyone might overhear: The DC Hesitation. People don't even know that they are doing this.
Defensive behavior by whites has become nearly universal. A sort of Masonic recognition-ritual occurs among white people recently introduced in social gatherings. Is the other person, for want of better terms, a liberal or a realist? Dare one speak? One of them will say something mildly skeptical about, say, Jesse Jackson. The other rolls his eyes in shared disgust. The secret handshake. Or, if the listener is politically correct, the bait is not taken. In either case, blacks dominate political conversation.
So extreme is the power to control speech and even thought, that politicians have to avoid mentioning watermelons, or that neighborhoods of high crime must delicately be called "sketchy" instead of "black," though all understand who lives there and what is meant. The avoidance of racial reference is not an even-handed if despotic attempt to oppose racism since, as we all know, blacks freely apply any derogatory wording they choose to whites. In short, they rule. Which is amazing.
The dominance extends to children. When in junior high one of my daughters brought home a science handout with common chemical terms badly misspelled in a way which suggested a particular speech pattern. "Is your teacher black?" I said without thinking. "Daaaaaaady!" she said in anguish, having made the connection but knowing that she shouldn't have. Blacks control what you can say to your own children in your own home. And of course if I had gone to the school and demanded that the teacher be fired, it would have been evidence of my depravity and probable KKK membership.
The word "unbelievable" has lost all force. Things that ought to be unbelievable, and once were, have become routine. Still, there it was: Don't expect a junior-high teacher to have the level of literacy I had in the fourth grade. Instead, make it dangerous to notice their stupidity. This is not new, and it hasn't changed.
In 1981, in a piece for Harper's, I wrote:
"The bald, statistically verifiable truth is that the teachers' colleges, probably on ideological grounds, have produced an incredible proportion of incompetent black teachers. Evidence of this appears periodically, as, for example, in the results of a competency test given to applicants for teaching positions in Pinellas County, Florida, cited in Time, June 16, 1980. To pass this grueling examination, an applicant had to be able to read at the tenth-grade level and do arithmetic at the eighth-grade level. Though they all held B.A.'s, 25 percent of the whites and 79 percent of the blacks failed. Similar statistics exist for other places."
Nothing has changed. Blacks now control the presidency and thus, most importantly, the Attorney Generalship. In this the staggering political power of blacks is most evident. Obama was elected because he was black: an equally unqualified and negligible white politician would have had no chance. He is now fiercely pushing the most profound transformation of America ever attempted, by opening the floodgates to immigration from the south. To effect this end he apparently will simply ignore Congress and the Constitution. The people will not be consulted. Laws will be ignored.
It is hard to imagine why he does it except from racism, from a desire to get even with whites by enrolling their country in the Third World. A short-sighted policy, yes, since Hispanics do not like blacks and will soon be more powerful-but that will come a bit later.
Note that self-inflicted problems of blacks consume inordinate amounts of public and governmental attention, even though only blacks can solve them. I might say, "should solve them," since they never have and we all know they seem to have no desire to do so. Yet we hear about them endlessly.
Are blacks in Chicago killing each other in large numbers? The solution might be to stop doing it, might it not? While I do not wish these young dead, I can do nothing to stop them, and it is not a problem I can solve.
Are black children growing up illiterate? This gives me no pleasure, and I have various reasons both selfish and moral to wish it were not so. But perhaps the solution is for their parents, or parent, to see that they do their homework, or even to teach them. I cannot do this for them, and again it isn't my problem to resolve.
Why do I have to hear, endlessly, about the "achievement gap?" Whether of genetic or cultural origin, it seems as immutable as Avogadro's number, and I can do nothing about it. I raise my children. They need to raise theirs. They rule. It is astonishing.
