Video: Hillary delete it

With a hat tip to FJ, who made me aware of these videos:


Can Hillary successfully stonewall, and lie her way out of what she's done? She's doing her best to make the unthinkable happen: another Clinton occupying the Oval Office.

Parody version:

About The Presidential Candidates

The Clarion Project offers this resource....

U.S. Presidential Race 2016: See what all the candidates are saying about Iran, ISLAMIST RADICALISM, the threat at home and much more

Please see the outgoing links at the tabs "View [the candidate's] Platform" for more information than is provided on the first page of the above link.

For example, I clicked on "View the Cruz Platform" and got the following information:
Record on Islamic Extremism

- Sharia Law is an "enormous problem" in the U.S.
Read the rest HERE.

Here is what I found when I clicked on "View the Bush Platform":
View of Islamism

Views the conflict as ideological in nature. Said: "[Islam has] been hijacked by people who have an ideology that wants to destroy Western civilization, and they're barbarians. And so that part, which is the part that we need to confront head-on, is clearly not a religious of peace."

Believes the strategy towards radical Islam needs to be focused more on security and less on promoting Western values and nation-building. Said: "Am I the same as my brother? Of course not. I'm not. I think, for example, our foreign policy ought to be grounded in not just the export of our own values or nation-building. These are good sentiments, but first and foremost in security and peace."

Thinks it's a mistake to equate elections with democracy-promotion, pointing to how Hamas and Hezbollah were voted into power.

Domestic Islamists

The U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, a coalition of Islamist groups, demand that Bush drop American Center for Law and Justice executive director Jordan Sekulow as a top adviser to his "Right to Rise" PAC. They claim that Sekulow is "anti-Muslim" for publishing a pamphlet titled, "'Shari'a Law: Radical Islam's Threat to the U.S. Constitution." The coalition took particular issue with a sentence that claims "devout Muslims cannot truthfully swear the oath to become citizens of the United States of America."

The Clarion Project's main page for the Presidential candidates is HERE.

Let us realize this, however: without a real economic recovery, those of us who are pushing back against the ongoing Islamification will not be able to afford to push back.

Dollar realities are dollar realities, and those realities limit how much we can fund any pushback.

There also are time realities.  If we have to spend hours and hours treading the waters of this wreckovery, we won't have time to push back.

I'm sure that many are keeping their mouths shut because they cannot afford to lose their jobs.  Yes, I personally know a lot of muzzled people.

The Iran Agreement: A Done Deal?

Follow-up to this recent post by Pastorius.

From the Washington Post (July 14, 2015):
"When is a treaty not a treaty?" Stevenson said. "When it's not called a treaty." Otherwise: "There's no other difference."
Not comforting!
So Congress reached an agreement with Obama under which it can vote to void any deal that is reached with Iran. With the deal now wrapped up, Congress could vote very soon. Obama's pretty safe, though, because as was clear even when he agreed to allow Congress to vote, he can veto any "no" vote if it passes both chambers in the Republican-controlled Congress. At that point, Republicans would need to get many Democrats to join them to overturn the veto.

[...]

The basic thing we want you to take away from this is the difference between a treaty (which has to be approved by the Senate) and an executive agreement (a treaty-except-not-officially-called-that which doesn't have to be approved by the Senate but that sometimes Congress gets to vote on.)
Read the entire article HERE.

Any braying and boasting about stopping the Iran deal in the upcoming GOP debate on August 6 will mean nothing. 

UNLESS the next POTUS can and will cancel the executive agreement.

The Tone Deaf GOP

I like Ted Cruz. I see him as a man of principle.

But why did he do something as foolish as this?
Ted Cruz apologizes for Joe Biden joke

Washington (CNN)— Republican presidential contender Sen. Ted Cruz apologized for an ill-timed joke about Vice President Joe Biden Wednesday night.

While speaking at a GOP dinner in Michigan on Wednesday, Cruz delivered an oft-told stump speech line poking fun at Biden, mentioning his name and then saying, "You know the nice thing? You don't need a punchline," according to the Detroit News.

"Honestly, it works," Cruz said, according to the news report. "The next party you're at, just walk up to someone and say, 'Vice President Joe Biden' and just close your mouth. They will crack up laughing."

While the line is often well-received on his campaign trail, this time it fell flat. Biden's son, Beau, passed away from brain cancer on Saturday.
The GOP really is The Party of Stupid so much of the time!
