"Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." Walter Scott
CLINTON GREED OVERPOWERS HER SOUND JUDGEMENT--UNDERMINES HER CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENT
HOW CAN THE NATION ENTRUST THE NUCLEAR CODES TO A PERSON WHO HAS SO DISASTROUSLY MISMANAGED HER CAMPAIGN?
Mrs. Clinton's long history as a public servant has many examples (too numerous to reprise here) in which her decision-making processes were overwhelmed by her greed and venality. As Secretary of State, she made the egregious, unethical and illegal decision to ignore her promise to the Obama Administration to desist from mixing her personal business with that of the State Department and her relationship with the Clinton Foundation. But the temptation was too great for her while in that powerful office. To further the wealth and influence of her family "slush fund" and her own self-emolument she and her husband colluded to brazenly sell access and influence to the highest bidder both domestic and foreign. As a consequence Of this first lie it became necessary to hide the evidence of her email trail from the prying eyes of the citizenry and of those who may take advantage of the Freedom of Information Act (FIOA) to expose her mendacity and corruption. As a consequence of her lies, she has been dogged for a year and a half on the campaign trail by accusations of corruption, mishandling of classified, confidential and top-secret documents. She and others used influence to manipulate investigations into her schemes. She has embroiled and entangled the entire nation in her mendacity. Her actions have, in the end, smeared the good names of those who have become her defenders and those who have tried to expose her lies and misjudgment.
As a consequence of her mendacity and misjudgement, and the national circus which has developed around her lies our nation has lost credibility on the world stage, our citizens have less confidence in the legitimacy of the FBI and its director. She has even dragged the President into her evil web as well. Now it is clear that Mr. Obama lied to protect her and conceal the facts surrounding her home server. As a result of her misjudgement, the Department of Justice has been compromised in its actions, its decisions, and the reputation of the present attorney general which is sullied beyond repair after her secret and now infamous meeting on the tarmac with Bill Clinton.
So this is a preview of what to expect of a Clinton Administration. An awful mess! A cacophony of claims and counterclaims. Government in perpetual stasis and chaos.
How can a thoughtful voter imagine handing over the awesome power of the presidency and the nuclear codes to a person who so mismanaged her own campaign. The Clintons have proved agin they are "grifters" who should not be offered a third term in the White House. The emailgate scandal has offered us a preview and it is disgusting.

CLINTON CHUTZPAH: RELEASE MY EMAILS!
Clinton Hypocrisy Re Comey
The bleached 33,000 emails may now come to light!
Like the "stained Blue Dress", illicit sex (or sexting) may bring down another Clinton.
Mrs.Clinton is on the war path. She has attacked FBI direct,or James Comey who, Friday, wrote a letter to Congress in which he informed that body that he is reopening the Clinton Email Investigation. His reason: the fact that pertinent new information (reportedly "thousands of emails" ) have surfaced which would have a bearing on the earlier Clinton investigation which Comey closed in July having found no "probable cause" to indict the former Secretary of State, though finding her and her staff reckless in their handling of confidential and secret documents. The Clinton Camp was very happy with Director Comey's findings then...now he has become an existential threat to her presidential aspirations and her campaign.
Clinton told a group in Daytona Beach Florida that Comey's actions were "unprecedented and deeply troubling"...because "voters deserve to get the full and complete facts." She urged the Director to "swiftly release all the information, put it all right on the table."
Isn't it ironic that Mrs. Clinton who has been so determined and persistent in hiding these emails,bleaching her secret server, smashing her blackberries, destroying her lap tops and determidly hiding this information for about 18 months, is now insistent on getting all the emails out? The emails are not Director Comey's..they are those of Mrs. Clinton and her staff..If she really wanted them "out on the table" she could have easily done that more than two years ago. She is demanding that Director Comey release her OWN emails, documents which she HAS BEEN HIDING all these months. What Chutzpah.
The fact is that Mrs. Clinton has NOT been reckless or CARELESS with her emails..she has been CALCULATING. Yes , calculating, not careless in hiding emails which by all measures of likelihood may contain the "lost trove of 33,000 emails she DELETED which documented her illicit, corrupt, sale of access to her State office, pay for play and self emolument dealings with political donors, foreign corporations and agents of the Clinton Foundation while she was Secretary of State.
How did "thousands of emails" become recently available to Comey, causing him to reopen the email investigation? Ms Huma Abedin, a veery close aide to Mrs Clinton, is married to disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner. The former congressman and failed mayoral candidate who is presently being investigated by the FBI for email sexting with a 15 year old North Carolina minor. In the process of investigating Mr. Weiner's interstate dalliance with a minor, the FBI confiscated and analyzed his lap top computer. Unknown to the Clinton camp, Ms Abedin who had been in daily communication with candidate Clinton over the years, had shared her computer with her husband--(they are now separated). While Mrs. Clinton was deleting the 33,000 emails she claimed were "personal" and bleaching them off her home basement server, smashing her blackberries and tossing other computers into the Potomac, these so called "personal" and probably damaging documents were well-preserved on the instrument in Mr. Weiner's sleazy bedroom. Clinton was unaware that Ms. Abedin was sharing her computer with a sex addict who was to be investigated by the FBI, and the "personal" emails she was so concerned about, may now become public. One wonders wether Ms. Abedin was secretly hiding these documents for her own purposes. Was she planning a tell all book after the election or at the end of an era?
The saga of the emails is, as Donald Trump has characterized them, as big as Watergate.

WSJ.: "CLINTONS TWO GRIFTERS"
The Clintons: "Grifters-in Chief". WSJ, October 27, 2016
Grifter: American slang probably derived from the word "graft". In carnival, and circus slang a grifter is a confidence trickster, a pickpocket, a crooked gambler, a con artist and a person who swindles another out of money through fraud. The Clintons are grifters according the Wall Street Journal...I fully agree.
The Wall Street Journal published two devastating and unprecedented articles on the Clintons and the Clinton presidency yesterday, October 27, 2016. The "Grifters-in -Chief" by Kimberley Strassel and the "Cold Clinton Reality" (Bill McGurn) both hammer the Clintons as corrupt officials who mix politics, business and the activities of a supposedly charitable foundation all for personal enrichment. McGurn, analyses the devastatingly frank and revealing Doug Band Wikileaks-hacked emails (posted to John Podesta) which reveal the chicanery and venality of the Clintons and their band of facilitators and co-conspirators. McGurn asks "Why isn't the IRS investigating the Clinton Foundation?" Ms Strassel does not to mince words as she warns that a "Hillary Clinton presidency will be built from the ground up on self-dealing, crony favors, and utter disregard for the law." Strassel spells out the ugly facts about Clinton corruption in "black and white" which she carefully derives from the "memo from longtime Clinton errand boy Doug Band...who for years worked both for the Clinton Foundation" and headed his own consulting firm Teneo.
That the WSJ could finally find some column space and courage to attack the Clintons and the their awesome (yes that overused word fits here) political machine and their media facilitators is shocking. And further that they could bring themselves to publish these devastating, accusations is a huge story in itself. I am astounded but I as a concerned patriot welcome it. Finally, the truth that the Clintons are "grifters" (thank you Ms. Strassel) is a powerful and fitting appellation for these two confidence tricksters, frauds, large-scale pick-pockets,and swindlers on a massive scale.
So when you enter that booth to pull the lever...be fully aware that there is a "grifter" on one of the ballots. Don't put her in the White House.

CLINTONS :BRIBE FBI?
Virginia Governor- $700,000--To FBI--Pay to look the Other Way,
Only the Tip of the Iceberg.
The Wall Street Journal published one of the most troubling revelations about Clinton corruption on Monday (yesterday)...It exposed how the infection in the body politic originating with the Clintons and their facilitators and paid operators have become like a metastasizing cancer and has even reached into the inner sanctum of the FBI...a frightening development considering the power and (perhaps former) prestige of that organization.
The Journal revealed the stench of a money trail that, during the highly sensitive investigation of MrsClinton's email fiasco by the FBI,led from the Clinton machine to a top FBI official who was intimately involved in Mrs.Clinton's email probe. According to the Journal, present Governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, a former "bagman", operative, and longtime "friend" of the Clintons steered hundreds of thousands of dollars to the wife of FBI deputy-director Andre McCabe. McCabe was "running the Washington DC field office" at the time and served as Director Comey's "right had man", according to the Journal. McCabe, as the head honcho in DC was no doubt deeply involved in the sensitive probe into Mrs. Clinton's mishandling of confidential and top secret emails. If anyone could alter the outcome of the investigation McCabe who was right there on the ground would be the man to get to. The ugly details indicate that Governor McAuliffe provided nearly three quarters of a million dollar to the campaign of Ms Jill McCabe who was running for a house seat in Virginia. The funds represented approximately one-third of the total the candidate had raised.
Comey's FBI office has claimed that there was no quid pro quo. But the Journal pointed out that their investigation revealed that "98% of the McAuliffe donations to Mrs. McCabe' came after the FBI launched its Clinton probe".
We can expect that this is only the tip of the iceberg of the saga of past and future Clinton scandals. Hillary may be able to win the election, but she and her morally and ethically challenged husband, and our nation will again be forced into the mire of another Clinton regime. Another four years of this? Can we survive it?
Only the Tip of the Iceberg.

WHY TRUMP?
Why Trump over Clinton?
Mr. Trump is a novice politician. He speaks like the workmen in the Queens neighborhood in which he was raised---emotionally, imprecisely and sometimes crudely. In the past, like the hard-hat workmen of Queens, he has treated women and others in a boorish manner. He is not a perfect candidate, nor a perfect individual. But he does understand and identify with the concerns of a great swath of the working class American electorate. He has amply demonstrated his ability and competence by singlehandedly creating a world-class business, starting in a hardscrabble neighborhood in the suburbs of New York and growing it into a phenomenal multi billion dollar corporation situated in premiere locations around the world. It is ironic that if fell to Mr. Trump...a billionaire businessman- to become the political voice and advocate of working class Americans. But he has. He alone enunciates the polices and the direction (what it seems) is a clear majority of the what average Americans want. He stands for a more equitable distribution of wealth; a secure border; control of rampant immigration, the flood tide of which effects the jobs both native born Americans and those recent immigrants who reside and work here already. He wants to "drain the swamp of corruption" in Washington DC, and end the ugly dictatorship of the "inside-the-Beltway -elites" who control and manipulate policies for their own benefit. His concept of a more open, lower taxed, lower regulated US economy give us all hope of an end to economic stagnation. He would review and revise the harmful global trade deals our nation's leaders have formulated that bring prosperity to only the corporatist, big business, and a handful of the well-connected and super wealthy.
As for our other choice...Mrs. Clinton, is part of the problem not the solution. She is the ultimate insider who has gamed the system for her own benefit for three decades. She is indeed well-rehearsed and well-prepared. Well prepared to take the reins of the existing establishment and keep going in the same old direction. Every word she speaks is parsed, tested, and replayed over and over again to to keep the establishment types happy. She represents the very problem that the average working Americans are attempting to correct. Their goal is eliminate the dictatorship of the few, well-heeled, well-connected, over the many. By her own admission, (to Goldman Sacks audiences), her life in the heady world of the wealthy and powerful have changed Mrs. Clinton's perceptions, altering any vague understanding and empathy she may have had with the "regular working Joe and Jill". After decades of living off the taxpayer's dime she is well versed in how to live high on the hog by means of "pay to play" schemes and well versed in how to hide her "private" policies and formulated to enunciate only "public platitudes" to the people. Her stilted public persona is not shyness. It is simply the result of the need to constantly lie. She has the facial tics of a habitual mendicant, or prevaricator.
In my view, Clinton is too corrupt to serve as President. Her past is shot through with examples of venality too numerous to reprise here. But the most recent and most egregious is her relationship with the Clinton Foundation--a sinister slush-fund for the Clintons and their hangers on. The catastrophic email scandal which has dogged her all these months mistates her errors and misdeeds. She did not simply "mishandle" secret documents. She did do that, and yes it is a felony, punishable by jail time. But the question of why she erased and "bleached" 33,000 government property emails is more telling. The answer to that question is that as Secretary of State she was selling access to her office for private gain. That is ugly corruption of the first order. Imagine what she, Bill, and Chelesea could manage to rake in were she to have the power of the President's office?
A related fault and equally disqualifying factor is that she can not be trusted to tell the truth. She has, by her own admission, both a private and a public stance on issues. In a severe crisis, such as the recent Great Recession, how could anything she states to the nation be believed and accepted by the electorate and the citizenry? Her positions will always be suspect...and her ability as a leader would be severely compromisedan issue which could not be tolerated in a leader.
Our nation is not a true democracy, nor a parliamentary democracy...where the electorate actually chooses the parties which best represent their interests and then the parliament chooses its leader...the Prime Minister. In the USA we, with our ancient and creaky, two-party system..we always have a Hobson's choice...having to pick only of the better of two evils.
This time it is clear..Mrs. Clinton with her sinister ties to the powerful, rich, and foreign-dominated Clinton Foundation, and the un-American dynastic implications of her candidacy is much more dangerous to our nation's well-being than the less than perfect Donald Trump. Pick the candidate who will work his heart out for you...who has a chance to unite the nation, not the one who will divide it, and who is in it for only her own benefit.
