(This is a nice scam) 96% Of Clinton Donations Went To The Clinton Foundation

96% Of Clinton Donations Went To The Clinton Foundation

Moments ago, when we showed the newly released Clinton 2015 tax return, we posted a rhetorical question: "how much of the Clinton charity donations went to the Clinton Foundation? Taking a deduction for contributing to the employer of your daughter and expense payer of your husband is awesome."

FEC Finally Recognizes the Obvious

Commissioner Ann Ravel goes the full Louis Renault:

Federal Election Commission member Ann Ravel on Tuesday proposed a ban on political contributions by domestic subsidiaries of foreign corporations.

Ravel’s proposal cites The Intercept series last week reporting that American Pacific International Capital, a California corporation owned by two Chinese nationals, donated $1.3 million to Right to Rise USA, the main Super PAC supporting Jeb Bush’s presidential run.

Ravel wrote that as a result of Citizens United and subsequent Supreme Court decisions, “our campaign finance system is vulnerable to influence from foreign nationals and foreign corporations through Domestic subsidiaries and affiliates in ways unimaginable a decade ago.”

Yes, Commissioner Ravel. Who could have possibly even remotely imagined that a former President and his Secretary of State spouse who also happen to run a multinational, billion dollar not-for-profit could (only hypothetically, mind you) have any dealings that might, perhaps, maybe, lead to the smidgen of the notion of an idea of the contemplation a foreign bribe?

Why that's preposterous!

How much will it cost the Republicans to get rid of Trump?

My guess is it will be something north of $400 million.

I made a bet with my wife a few months ago that Trump will not be the person on the ballot in November. There are all kinds of articles going around about all kinds of efforts to get him out. The final decision will be Trumps when we realizes he is going to lose and lose big "Loser". That is something that he could not stand.

Open Thread - The Word Edition - Friday, August 12, 2016

Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.

Hillary Clinton's not-so-mild brain trauma

This is the third in a series of essays devoted to Hillary Clinton's neuropathology. As I have stated in the prior two essays, much of this should be considered speculative, if only for the absence of verifiable medical records. In this essay, I will provide much more documentation than in the first two essays. The links will be to full text articles published in peer-reviewed medical journal.

EXCLUSIVE: Joint FBI-US Attorney Probe Of Clinton Foundation Is Underway

Boy, do I ever hope this one is true, but believing any of these things is very difficult now. I was just reading somewhere that FBI field offices are asking for Clinton Foundation investigation. Makes sense, they have been smeared by what Comey has done, and they also live here, too. Guess we will see. I don't care for the source, but many times now, the truth comes from strange places.

(Oh look! What a co-inky-dink!) Hillary Clinton Campaign Says She Would Reschedule Marijuana

Hillary Clinton Campaign Says She Would Reschedule Marijuana
Making weed easier to research

While the Drug Enforcement Administration denied a petition early Thursday to remove marijuana from its Schedule I list under the Controlled Substances Act, leaving the drug lumped in with heroin, LSD and other elicit substances, the Clinton campaign thinks that rescheduling the drug serves a higher purpose.
