Been wondering about those sudden long TSA lines?

Well, so have I. The answer appeared before me as the news ticker announced TSA officials are seeking millions from Congress to transition 2.400+ part time TSA workers to full time.

I am lead to believe only one conclusion - the massive slowdown ar America's airports is by design.

But she's a woman. That's enough for any woman to vote for her aka The Big Lie, as coined by the late J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Director

BILL CLINTON'S LOVING WIFE --- by DICK MORRIS

 

If you happen to see the Bill Clinton five minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's  background, beware as I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone.  I offer a few corrections:

 Bill says:  "In law school Hillary worked on legal services for the   poor."

 Facts are:  Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in 'Law School' was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for  torturing and killing a 'Federal Agent.'  She went to Court every day as part of a Law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal.

 Bill says:  "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a Children's rights project for poor kids."

 Facts are:  Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party.  She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to  San Francisco to take an internship with him.

 Bill says:  "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative job offers."

 Facts are:  She flunked the D.C. bar exam, 'Yes', flunked it, it is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar.  She  had no job offers in Arkansas, 'None', and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there.  She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and was  made a partner only after he was elected Arkansas Governor.

Bill says:  "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its Chairman."

Facts are:  The appointment was in exchange for Bill's support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy.  Hillary then  became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's choice to be chairman.

Bill says:  "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's   Hospital."

Facts are: Yes she did.  But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Wal-Mart Board of Directors, for  a substantial fee.  She was silent about their labor and health care practices.

Bill says:  "Hillary didn't succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994 but she kept working at it and helped to create  the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance."

Facts are:  Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP.  It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority  Leader Senator Trent Lott.  I know; I helped to negotiate the deal.  The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals' tobacco settlement.  Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds .

Bill says:  "Hillary was the face of America all over the World."   (LOL)

Facts are:  Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that  Hillary was running the White House.  Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.

Bill says:  "Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for Children's and Women's issues."

Facts are:  Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing the names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed  only four substantive pieces of legislation.  One set up a national park in Puerto Rico.  A second provided respite care for family members helping their relatives through Alzheimer's or other conditions.  And two were routine bills to aid 911 victims and  responders which were sponsored by the entire N.Y. delegation.  Presently she is trying to have the US memorialize Woodstock.

Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary Clinton.  She has done everything possible to weaken the President  and our Country (that's you and me) when it comes to the 'War on Terror'.

1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA where they would have access to our legal system.

2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone calls to/from the USA.

3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants captured on the battlefield.

4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between suspected Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA.

5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the Military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning  known terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.

One cannot think of a single 'Bill', Hillary has introduced or a single comment she has made that would tend to strengthen  our Country in the 'War on Terror'.  But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made that weaken our Country and makes it a more dangerous situation for all of us.  Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues where common sense  is abandoned.

Share this with everyone you know, ask them to prove Dick Morris wrong.  Think about it - he's (Dick Morris) said all of this  openly, thus if he were not truthful he'd be liable for 'Defamation of Character' !

And you better believe Hillary would sue him.

Her winning in 2016 means the final death knell for America!  Her whole public life has been a LIE.

By Dick Morris, former political advisor to President Bill Clinton

Pretty thorough background check....did we know this much about ANY of the previous presidents BEFORE they got into office? I don't think so, especially Barry and even Bill from Arkansas. Will the same vetting be done for Hillary?

  • Donald performed in Wrestlemania 23 which set attendance records and revenue records up til that time.  
  • In his first candidacy for public office, Donald Trump received the most popular votes for the President of the United States out of a field of experienced and successful politicians. And in most cases, he achieved this with less money than any of his opponents. 
Keeping in mind that 90% of startup businesses fail, Trump's record of enterprise is nothing short of amazing. 
Donald Trump has enjoyed success in at least 11 very different enterprises: Professional football, Ice Skating rinks, Fragrance, Ice, Steaks, Wines, Model management, Airline, blenders, Men's wear, Bicycle races, world class beauty contests, and many others. In some of these, such as model management, his firm has risen to the top of that particular industry. 
  • There are 31 buildings that bear his name. 
  • The largest private real estate development in New York is Trump Riverside. Drive down the Henry Hudson Blvd. - you can't miss them. 
  • There are at least 12 Trump Towers 
  • There are at least 6 Trump Plazas. 
  • There are at least 11 Trump Golf Course developments  
  • And much, much, more in real estate. 
  • Trump Entertainment, casinos and resorts was recently sold to Carl Ichan. 
  • Donald Trump's personal managing of the Wollman Ice Skating Rink project in the early 1980's is the quintessential case study for MBA students in Wharton, Harvard, and other business schools. His performance there was phenomenal.

The Political Trump:
about 1967 - 1987 - Democrat (he was a supporter of Ronald Reagan)
1987 - 1999 - Republican
1999 - 2001 - Reform Party (he supported Ross Perot)
2001 - 2009 - Democrat
2009 - 2011 - Republican
2011 - 2012 - Independent
2012 - Present - Republican
 Donald Trump was openly supportive of Mitt Romney's candidacy.
Donald Trump does not seem to hold political party organizations in high regard.
For the most part, his political involvement has been for practical reasons.
Donald Trump does not appear to be held to political ideology. 
  Some of my take aways:
  • Trump has an extraordinarily energetic central nervous system much like Teddy Roosevelt but more targeted to industry and enterprise. 
  • Trump's presidency will be very energetic, transparent, and communicative. 
  • Trump will be a very hard working President. 
  • His interaction with his older brother (who everybody loved) tells me that he thinks that everybody is like him - or wants to be - or should be. 
  • His relationship with his older brother was a hard lesson in tolerance for him. 
  • Trump is the Babe Ruth of career achievements.  
  • He is dumb like a fox. When you think he just said something stupid - he didn't. It's just that you were not his target audience. 
  • Trump knows the people - the folk. 
  • His son, Donald Jr. is right. Trump is a "Blue Collar Billionaire". 
  • More than anything, his TV show, The Apprentice, was his passion. He wants all Americans to have confidence (like he does) to venture. 
  • Donald Trump is attracted to and marries smart, high achieving women. 
  • The highest levels of a Trump Administration is certain to have many women - and they will be bright and assertive. 
  • Donald Trump's children are very important to him. And it shows.
  

PS.  Yes, we know nothing of our current president with 2 terms in office.

The Politiczation of America's Military.




A 'Social Experiment On Diversity' at its best! Read the last comment after the photo

     How does one get 7 rows of ribbons, without any combat ? Oh, she showed up for work most of the time (4 rows), is female (2.5 rows), and possibly a minority (.5 rows).
Did I get that right? Admiral Michelle Howard, USN, is not in command of the US Navy, however, she was recently promoted to Vice Chief of Naval Operations, second in command to the CNO. The selection process leading to her promotion to 4 star rank and her current position, is rather unique in a peace time US Navy.
The supposed plan is to eventually promote her to Chief of Naval Operations. Admiral Howard had command of only one non-capital ship, the USS Rushmore (LSD-47), when she was promoted to "Flag rank", which was unique. She eventually received orders as the Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, thru January 2009. It then appears that Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus mentored her thru one senior billet after another, by-passing other highly qualified combat-trained, more senior Flag Officers. During the process, she received orders to the proper Command and Staff Colleges, in order to prepare her for each new command assignment, Mabus' careful guidance led her to her current billet.
   In the last 7 years, Obama has modified the selection process for Flag and General Officer, by ensuring the potential selectee's compliance with his 'SocialExperiment On Diversity', as a condition for whether an officer will be considered for promotion to Admiral or General. Over the last 7 years, Obama has relieved over 250 highly qualified and combat-trained Flag, General, and Senior Officers; some should have been relieved for cause, but many more were doing a superb job when they were summarily relieved.

Respectfully,

Joseph R. John, USNA '62 Capt., USN (Ret) Chairman, Combat Veterans For Congress PAC 2307 Fenton Parkway, Suite 107-184 San Diego, CA 92108 http://www.combatveteransforcongress.org/




 Hell why not make Hillary the Commander in Chief!
