Clinton foibles

A couple of  Thursday Hillary Bash sort of pieces on a Wednesday.  Why not?

Firstly it looks like her campaign workers are violating election law.

A Hillary Clinton campaign worker has been caught on film apparently committing a felony by advising Las Vegas Hispanics how to vote while he is helping them register.

Hidden camera footage shows Henry Engelstein, identified as a campaign 'fellow,' reeling in Spanish-speaking Nevadans on a Las Vegas street with a comical picture of Donald Trump on his smartphone.

'THIS IS MY RESTING B**CH FACE,' the photo's caption reads, meme-style.

'Un payaso muy grande, si!' Engelstein tells passers-by. ('Yes! A giant clown!') In the video, shown to DailyMail.com exclusively by the conservative group Project Veritas Action, he boasts that Latinos' anger against the billionaire Republican front-runner is ample motivation for them to register as voters....

James O'Keefe...'At this very moment there are individuals working as paid staffers for the Clinton campaign that are in fact Project Veritas Action journalists. This is far from over, Hillary.'

Nevada law makes advocating for or against a candidate during the voter-registration process a Class E felony.

Go James. Meanwhile are we underestimating or overestimating Hillary's Democratic electoral strength? Possibly both.

It may be that Clinton is both stronger in some ways, and weaker in others, than is generally acknowledged. In the current scenario, her strengths are probably being underestimated. In a future scenario where a Democratic heavy decides to challenge her, her weaknesses are probably being underestimated.

The good news for Clinton is that the calendar is very much her ally. And in a few more weeks, the event horizons on those other scenarios will disappear and her window of vulnerability will begin to close.

 Interesting article, and probably quite accurate.

Crazy stuff liberals want to do

My wife was telling me she read that liberals in Canada are circulating a petition to outlaw speaking of religion and politics in public.  "No way" I said.  Even liberals aren't that dumb.  Maybe I'm wrong.

Apparently the left in America are trying to socialize pedophilia.  Paranoia?  Possibly, but look at the history of planned decay, as pointed out over on Diogenes' Middle Finger.

Its long been a chorus over the years that cultural conservatives have heard. No-fault divorce will not cause a breakdown in marriage and family, you heartless jerk! Relaxing sexual mores will not result in increased teen pregnancy and social decline, you cold-hearted monster! The responses are remarkably consistent from the same groups of people: any resistance to moving away from proven and trustworthy social morals is a terrible, restrictive, and even fascist thing.

 Each step worse than the next, accompanied by assurances that any worry is foolishly misplaced.

Clinton money goes missing

Speaking of Hillary Clinton, how does $50 million dollars just disappear?

Since Bill and Hillary Clinton left the White House in 2001, they have earned more than $230 million. But in federal filings the Clintons claim they are worth somewhere between $11 million and $53 million. After layering years of disclosures on top of annual tax returns, Forbes estimates their combined net worth at $45 million. Where did all of the money go? No one seems to know, and the Clintons aren’t offering any answers.

From 2001 to 2014 the power couple spent $95 million on taxes. Hillary’s 2008 presidential run cost her $13 million. Their two homes cost a combined $5 million, and the Clintons have given away $22 million to charity. All of this is according to FEC filings, property records and years of tax returns. Add it up and you get $135 million. If the Clintons made $230 million, spent $135 million and have just $45 million left over, what happened to the other $50 million?

Scandal, upon scandal and they're finally starting to stick.

Teamsters dismissing Hillary?

Hillary Clinton came out against the Keystone XL pipeline recently, and now the Teamsters seem to be coming out against Hillary.

Teamsters officials met behind closed doors today. The union refused to endorse Hillary Clinton for president. The officials told FOX News they want to meet with Donald Trump.

Interesting turn of events, but I'd be surprised if they didn't end up supporting Bernie Sanders and should she win the nomination, ultimately her. 

ISIS armageddon

This is discomforting;

Nuclear annihilation across the globe. This is what a German reporter who successfully embedded with the Islamic State says the terror group is planning. Jurgen Todenhofer released his findings in a book titled “Inside IS - Ten Days in the Islamic State,” reports the UK’s Daily Express.

“The terrorists plan on killing several hundred million people. The west is drastically underestimating the power of ISIS. ISIS intends to get its hands on nuclear weapons,” says Todenhofer, calling the group a “nuclear tsunami preparing the largest religious cleansing in history.”

But it should come as no surprise.  Radical jihad calls for nothing less.  The only real difference is the scale and timing - one fell swoop as it were, is a faster approach than anything else we've heard of before.
