JOKE: HILLARY'S DOCTOR PRONOUNCES HER “FIT TO SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”

hrc1

From long-term observation of all things Clinton, I do not accept this health evaluation unless it is accompanied by a sworn statement, under the penalty of perjury, and admitted unchallenged in a court of competent jurisdiction. Many of the items, such as drug use, diet, etc. would normally arise from patient-provided history and statements. And, with Hillary Clinton, she is a congenital liar. 

The mere fact she is on Coumadin, no matter how closely monitored, may make her susceptible to brain bleeds – and, heaven knows what that might produce in her Marxist mind. 

It is not Hillary’s age or physical health that is of real concern. It is her mental state and inability to tell the truth when a lie would suit her purposes or advance her agenda.

And, according to the recent release of emails, Hillary admits "damn I am getting old."

For the curious …

Healthcare Statement

RE: Hillary Rodham Clinton

Date of birth: 10/26/47

This letter summarizes the health history and current medical evaluation of Hillary Rodham Clinton. I am an internist and the Chairman of the Department of Medicine at the Mount Kisco Medical Group in Mount Kisco, New York. I have served as Mrs. Clinton's personal physician since 2001, during which time I have been involved in all aspects of her health care.

Mrs. Clinton is a healthy 67-year-old female whose current medical conditions include hypothyroidism and seasonal pollen allergies. Her past medical history is notable for a deep vein thrombosis in 1998 and in 2009, an elbow fracture in 2009 and a concussion in 2012.

In December of2012, Mrs. Clinton suffered a stomach virus after traveling, became dehydrated, fainted and sustained a concussion. During follow up evaluations, Mrs. Clinton was found to have a transverse sinus venous thrombosis and began anticoagulation therapy to dissolve the clot. As a result of the concussion, Mrs. Clinton also experienced double vision for a period of time and benefited from wearing glasses with a Fresnel Prism. Her concussion symptoms, including the double vision, resolved within two months and she discontinued the use of the prism. She had follow-up testing in 2013, which revealed complete resolution of the effects of the concussion as well as total dissolution of the thrombosis. Mrs. Clinton also tested negative for all clotting disorders. As a precaution, however, it was decided to continue her on daily anticoagulation.

Mrs. Clinton's current medications include Armour Thyroid, antihistamines, Vitamin B 12 and Coumadin. She also was advised in 1998 to take Lovenox, a short-acting blood thinner, when she took extended flights; this medication was discontinued when she began Coumadin. Her Coumadin dose is monitored regularly and she has experienced no side-effects from her medications. She takes
no other medications on a regular basis and has no known drug allergies. She does not smoke and drinks alcohol occasionally. She does not use illicit drugs or tobacco products. She eats a diet rich in lean protein, vegetables and fruits. She exercises regularly, including yoga, swimming, walking and weight training.

Her family history is notable with respect to her father, who lived into his 80s and died after having a stroke and her mother, who lived into her 90s and passed away after having had congestive heart failure. She has two brothers, one of whom had premature heart disease, one healthy daughter and one healthy granddaughter.

Her routine health maintenance is up to date and has included a normal colonoscopy, gynecologic exam, mammogram and breast ultrasound. Due to her family history, she underwent a full cardiac evaluation, which was negative. She had a coronary calcium score of zero and a normal carotid ultrasound.

Her most recent physical examination on March 21, 2015 revealed a healthy-appearing female. Her vital signs showed blood pressure 100/65, heart rate 72, respiratory rate 18 and temperature 98.7. The remainder of her physical examination was normal. Laboratory testing revealed a normal EKG and normal laboratory testing, including cholesterol of 195, with an LDL of 118, HDL of 64 and triglycerides of 69.

In summary, Mrs. Clinton is a healthy female .. with hypothyroidism and seasonal allergies, on long-term anticoagulation. She participates in a healthy lifestyle and has had a full medical evaluation, which reveals no evidence of additional medical issues or cardiovascular disease. Her cancer screening evaluations are all negative.

She is in excellent physical condition and fit to serve as President of the United States.

Lisa Bardack, MD

Bottom Line …

She may be in wonderful shape for a woman of her age, but in no way is Hillary Clinton, the lying liar that lies, fit to become the President of the United States.

If anything, Hillary Clinton has a transmissible disease known as “Clinton Fatigue” where anyone in close proximity simply rolls their eyes and disbelieves every word out of Hillary Clinton’s mouth, knowing the latest scandal will be dismissed with another lie or you will be told that it is “old news” as if that somehow excuses criminality and obstruction of justice.  

We are so screwed if this lying shrew advances further in the 2016 election cycle. The fact that she is the chosen candidate of the progressive socialist democrats says that they have jumped the shark and have become the neo-Communist Party in the United States.

LIBERAL HYPOCRISY: WORLDWIDE ATTENTION ON CECIL THE LION, NOT SO MUCH FOR KIDNAPED, MURDERED, AND RAPED GIRLS

lion

With the increasing pussification of the United States and the “Bambification” of wild animals that would tear you to shreds in a heartbeat, I can see why people might be outraged over the killing of Cecil.

However, sport and trophy hunting has been with us forever and contributes to the maintenance of wild animal stock and its habitat. Poaching, on the other hand, is totally unethical and unacceptable.

Remember, no matter what the talking heads are saying on television, lions are not on the endangered species list, and are fair game when the proper licenses, permits, and land access is observed. And, protein in Africa is always conserved, if not by humans, then by scavengers.

If, and that assumes facts not yet in evidence, the hunter who killed Cecil was not complicit in the baiting of the lion in such a manner as it caused boundary transgressions, he get’s a pass in my book. His public reputation and dental practice is gone, so in essence, he has been punished sufficiently. However, if he has broken any laws, they are unlikely to be American laws unless he imports his trophy cape into the United States. I would be surprised if he is allowed to record his kill in any of the noted record books if he took the animal in an inappropriate manner. Most sportsmen shun poachers as not only bringing disrepute to the sport and practice of hunting, but it says something about their character if they are that quick to violate the rules.

Bottom line …

I am more concerned with a nation whose focused outrage is on a good-looking lion and not the hundreds of people slaughtered in our nation every month in the inner cities – most of which are governed by liberals who siphon-off public funds to improve poverty, literacy, crime – and redirect these funds to the special interests who kickback campaign funding and other perks and privileges. Has anyone noticed that evil monsters are afoot in Africa, with murder, mayhem, and maiming running rampant in what can only be describes as ethnic cleansing and genocide.

So before you focus your outrage on a hunter, perhaps you may consider the greater good and focus your outrage on corrupt politicians who allow others to be killed, tortured, maimed, and raped. Or those who allow fully-formed human beings in vitro to be pulled apart so that their organs can be harvested and sold.

-- steve

Full disclosure: I am a life member of the NRA (Benefactor Level) and Safari Club.

Personally, I do not like bow-hunting as I am in favor of a respectful quick and decisive kill. I used to discuss the merits with one of my veternarians who was a noted and accomplished bow hunter.

GUN CONTROL: LOS ANGELES LIBERALS GO INSANE -- BAN POSSESSION OF MAGAZINES OVER 10 ROUNDS

The Los Angeles City Council has just criminalized a trip from the People’s Republic of Santa Monica to Culver City or the City of Beverly Hills is you have a magazine holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Try to skirt the behemoth that is Los Angeles to go anywhere in the Southland.

These are the same progressive socialist democrats who would rather see you die, begging for mercy, than defensing yourself and your family.

HEY, ALL YOU GANGBANGERS, CRIMINALS, AND CRAZIES  OUT THERE …

LA Bans Possession of Magazines Over 10 Rounds -- Unanimous vote

On Tuesday, it became illegal to own a firearm magazine capable of holding over 10 rounds of ammunition in the city of Los Angeles. California state law already bans the sale and manufacture of large capacity magazines, but now it will be considered a misdemeanor to actually possess one within the LA city limits.

The vote was unanimous and Mayor Eric Garcetti has promised his signature on the ordinance. Once the law is in place, owners of large capacity magazines will have 60 days to turn over the contraband, or otherwise get rid of the magazines, before they are considered in violation.

Democratic council member Paul Krekorian wrote the ordinance and said he hopes it prevents mass shootings. "Mass shootings have become so endemic that we can all recite a litany of places where they have occurred: Columbine, Isla Vista, Chattanooga — they've become part of lexicon," he said. "We've become desperate to find some solution to the destabilizing effect of the fact that we have to fear these sorts of mass killings."

Krekorian told the LA Times, "People who want to defend their families don’t need a 100-round drum magazine and an automatic weapon to do it. Imagine what a gunman on this sidewalk could do with that kind of firepower with a crowd like this.”

Source: LA Bans Possession of Magazines Over 10 Rounds

Did I miss something?

Does Council Member Krekorian have information that indicates that criminals and crazies will abide by his nonsensical ordinance. Or, that ordinary people facing a multitude of attackers do not require a high-capacity magazine for self-defense.

This is the type of idiotic, knee-jerk, feel-good legislation that wastes time and effort. And, this is the same City Council that refuses to disadvantage criminal illegal aliens by asking about their immigration status.

ARTICLE 6.7

LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINES- POSSESSION PROHIBITED

Bottom line …

These progressive socialist democrats who are little more than professional politicians need to be removed from office. Ask any of them to enforce existing gun laws, control gang activity within their districts, or prosecute illegal alien felons and they go strangely silent.

We are so screwed.

LAWYERS: AMERICA'S FIFTH COLUMN?

It is most disheartening when we find American lawyers and law firms representing nations, regimes, and dictators as lobbyists … spreading foreign cash into the system with the objective of changing United States foreign policy …

LAWYERS

Palestinians Hire Top Law Firm To Lobby For Them -- Apparently helping the Palestinian Arabs pays well.

In November 2014, it was reported that Squire Patton Boggs, the largest American lobbying firm, has been hired by the Palestinian Authority for the annual fee of $660,000 ($55,000 a month) to ensure that the PA continues to receive the nearly $500 Million in annual U.S. aid that has already been committed to by the United States.

According to Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) documents, “Patton Boggs will assist the PA in assessing US funding promises to date and help ensure that further commitments of financial assistance are fulfilled and received by the Palestinians.”

The Palestine Monetary Authority (PMA), which essentially functions as the central bank of the Palestinian Authority, has hired DLA Piper, one of the largest law-firms in the world, to lobby the American government and American correspondent banks. 

As the Palestinian Authority increasingly indicates they will seek to establish an independent state in the fall in violation of international law, the hiring of this firm at the rate of $50,000 per month sends the message that they are focused. The PMA is “responsible for the formulation and implementation of monetary and banking, policies, to safeguard the banking sector and ensure the growth of the national economy in a balanced manner.”

The way it appears to work …

LAWYER-LOBBYISTS

Excuse me?

Why are we sending $500 BILLION in annual aid to a terrorist nation that routinely attacks one of our closest allies in the Middle East and is historically known for exporting terror in their kleptocracy supported by that segment of the international community that uses aid as a proxy for their own anti-Israel, anti-Semitic tendancies?

Is it unlikely that inner city cesspools of poverty, illiteracy, crime, and lack of employment in Chicago, Detroit, New York, Los Angles, Oakland and elsewhere could not substantially benefit from a few BILLION dollars? That is, unless the progressive socialist democrats governing the inner cities don’t siphon it off for unions and other special interests.

You would think that as a pre-condition for receiving $500 BILLION they could be forced to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist.

Bottom line …

Somehow it seems unseemly to me that despicable foreign governments can use prominent, well-respect American law firms to pursue their own dastardly agenda – often at the expense of the United States and its allies.

Perhaps Donald Trump is correct: our leaders are dummies! Spending taxpayer money on those who do not wish the United States well and all Americans dead. Our leaders are actually incentivizing the terrorists to continue their terror campaign. With some progressive socialist politicians attempting to win international acclaim or simply engage in photo-ops to their greater glory. All at the expense of the taxpayer, America, and all Americans.

Where are the progressive socialist democrat minorities jumping up and down about this issue. Yeah, right! They go bat-shit crazy, shouting “black lives matter,” when thousands of black lives are snuffed out in the inner cities.

We live in a crazy world and we are so screwed by our leadership.

RAND PAUL'S HYPOCRITICAL DOUCHEBAGGERY

I have always thought that Senator Rand Paul, like his father Ron Paul, was a small time grifter who learned long ago to speak “conservative.” Both men politically irrelevant gadflies and small-time grifters who managed through America’s polarization to get a seat at the big boy’s table.

In a stunning display of hypocritical douchebaggery … 

Rand Paul calls on Hillary Clinton to refund Planned Parenthood donations

 

At an anti-abortion rally on Capitol Hill, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) called on the Democratic presidential frontrunner to refund any donations from Planned Parenthood.

"Hillary Clinton's hands are stained by accepting this money," said Paul, who says he has been guaranteed a vote to ban any taxpayer funding for the family planning group. (It currently receives funding that is prohibited from being used for abortion.) "She needs to immediately return every red cent she has received from Planned Parenthood employees."  Source: Rand Paul calls on Hillary Clinton to refund Planned Parenthood donations - The Washington Post

When the shoe was on the other foot …

Rand Paul Refuses To Return Contributions From These White Separatists

In his first campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2010, Paul received multiple donations from contributors tied to organizations identified by SPLC as white nationalist or neo-confederate hate groups. In September of that year, the New York Daily News reported that three such activists had given at least $1,400 combined to Paul.

The Paul campaign’s Federal Election Commission reports revealed that he received $500 from Virginia Abernethy (a self-described “ethnic separatist” with her own ties to the Council of Conservative Citizens), two donations totaling $700 from William Daniel Johnson (a corporate lawyer who once proposed a constitutional amendment to strip non-white Americans of their citizenship), and $200 from Carl Ford (an officer of a group that endorsed a second secession).

The contributions came during a campaign in which Paul openly criticized the public accommodations provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, saying “I think it’s a bad business decision to exclude anybody from your restaurant — but, at the same time, I do believe in private ownership.” Paul has since denied ever holding that position.

When the 2010 donations came to light, Paul spokesman Gary Howard said that the campaign would not return the donations and “cannot perform background checks on all of our 35,000 plus donors.” He later acknowledged that these donations had come from white separatists — but still declined to return the funds, arguing, “Dr. Paul condemns hatred and discrimination, and if the white separatists who donated to his campaign think he shares their views they are badly mistaken and would be in for a rude awakening when they see that 20 percent of his campaign staff is made up of African Americans.” <Source>

Bottom line …

Just as I deplore political dynasties, be they Kennedy, Clinton, or Bush; I also deplore professional politicians like the Pauls who make a living sucking on the public teat.

REP. MARK MEADOWS SEEKS SPEAKER BOEHNER'S OUSTER -- OR DOES HE?

“We the People” gave the Republicans both the House and the Senate to redress our grievances of unconstitutionality, lawlessness, and malfeasance in the Obama Administration … and the leadership of these two chambers, country-club Republicans House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, appear to be in the tank for the special interests and the “get along to go along” moderates …

jbflag

In essence the GOP Congressional leadership has done little or nothing to justify our trust and the mandate they were given.

Now, a conservative, Representative Mark Meadows (R-NC) has filed a “motion to vacate the chair” to attempt to remove Speaker John Boehner from the Speakership. While it is unlikely to be successful and may be met with violent push-back from John Boehner and his supporters, it does serve to educate the voters to the sell-outs and go-alongs in the GOP that do not merit our trust.

But is the motion real or sincere?

While Meadows and Boehner are often contentious and apparently do not get along, they are collegial. Boehner has always given the impression that politics should stop at five while all repair to the country club for drinks.

But, as we have seen in past Congresses, not everything is as it seems. Sometimes the opposition is stage-managed and a legislator has the permission of the leadership to openly defy the party and its leadership. A tactic to distance individual legislators from the GOP leadership when they face tight races in their district or to demonstrate “diversity of opinion in the Chamber.

Had Meadows been sincere about this measure, he could have easily stood before the House and ask for a vote as the motion would become “privileged” and could be taken up as the immediate business of the House of Representatives.

The way the measure is presented, it simply looks like a strong protest of Boehner’s hardball tactics and to generate media buzz.

The “Motion to Vacate the Chair” …

ch


Whereas the Speaker of the House of Representatives for the 114th Congress has endeavored to consolidate power and centralize decision-making, bypassing the majority of the 435 Members of Congress and the people they represent;

Whereas the Speaker has, through inaction, caused the power of Congress to atrophy, thereby making Congress subservient to the Executive and Judicial branches, diminishing the voice of the American People;

Whereas the Speaker uses the power of the office to punish Members who vote according to their conscience instead of the will of the Speaker;

Whereas the Speaker has intentionally provided for voice votes on consequential and controversial legislation to be taken without notice and with few Members present;

Whereas the Speaker uses the legislative calendar to create crises for the American People, in order to compel Members to vote for legislation;

Whereas the Speaker does not comply with the spirit of the rules of the House of Representatives, which provide that Members shall have three days to review legislation before voting;

Whereas the Speaker continues to direct the Rules Committee to limit meaningful amendments, to limit debate on the House floor, and to subvert a straightforward legislative process; and

Whereas the House of Representatives, to function effectively in the service of all citizens of this country, requires the service of a Speaker who will endeavor to follow an orderly and inclusive process without imposing his or her will upon any Member thereof:

Now, therefore, be it Resolved,

That the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives is hereby declared to be vacant.

Bottom line …

In the age of corrupt progressive socialist democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Harry Reid, it is extremely disheartening to find out that the GOP Congressional leadership is every bit as uncaring and distant as those who have significantly and materially damaged the United States of America.

I personally think this is a meaningless gesture that will go nowhere as most Republicans in Congress are such pussies that they are willing to simply sit back and divide a smaller share of the booty looted from the American taxpayer rather than risk their cushy jobs. Perhaps the thinking is that this is Boehner's last hurrah and its not worth the risk to alienate his constituents in a major state like Ohio.

We are so screwed.

HILLARY FIGHTS FOR THE POOR -- WITH $600 HAIRCUT?

hrc1

Hillary lives in a world of her own … where she is above the law, treated like royalty, and feels entitled to be the President of the United States; saying she understands the plight of the poor, the illegal alien, and the ordinary person.

As reported by Page Six … 

Hillary Clinton put part of Bergdorf Goodman on lockdown on Friday to get a $600 haircut at the swanky John Barrett Salon. Clinton, with a huge entourage in tow, was spotted being ushered through a side entrance of the Fifth Avenue store on Friday.

A source said, “Staff closed off one side of Bergdorf’s so Hillary could come in privately to get her hair done. An elevator bank was shut down so she could ride up alone, and then she was styled in a private area of the salon. Other customers didn’t get a glimpse. Hillary was later seen with a new feathered hairdo.”

Clinton regularly sees salon owner John Barrett, who charges regular mortals $600 for a cut and blow-dry. Hair color can cost an extra $600.

Source: Hillary Clinton’s $600 haircut puts Bergdorf on lockdown | Page Six

Bottom line …

She wants to look her best for the campaign operatives and media because those are most likely the only individuals allowed in her presence. Such as waste of time, space, and money on an aging Marxist whose every instinct is corrupt. I wouldn’t be surprised if she negotiated a free haircut in return for the publicity. Yes, she is that cheap.

That the progressive socialist democrats would hold her up as an example of the party only tells me that they are now the neo-Communist Party in the United States and will run any suitable Marxist.

IRS CHIEF NEEDS TO RESIGN OR BE FIRED FOR DERELICTION OF DUTY

The Internal Revenue Service of the United States of America is one of the nation’s premier agencies, thought to be uncorrupted by partisan politics and the need to obstruct justice to cover-up its own apparent Unfortunately as we have seen in the past, some American presidents (Nixon, Clinton, and Obama) have brought dishonor to the agency by either nominating hyperpartisan leadership or subtly conveying their wishes to the agency. Beyond presidents, we have also seen partisan Members of Congress attempt the same political nonsense.

It is the job of the Director of the IRS not only to resist such politically-based entreaties, ferretting out political corruption wherever and whenever it is found, but to testify honestly and directly to Congressional Oversight Committees.

It appears that either IRS Director John Koskinen was inadequately briefed by his staff in agency matters or was woefully incompetent in managing the agencies affairs – or, deliberately, willfully, and with full knowledge a forethought, obstructed the administration of justice by lying under oath to Congress.

jk

In a letter to President Obama, the Oversight and Government Reform Committee outlined the findings, thus far, of its investigation into the IRS targeting scandal. The letter explains and provides evidence of the violations on the part of the IRS and Commissioner Koskinen in properly complying with both a congressional subpoena and its own internal preservation order.

Chairman Jason Chaffetz issued the following statement …

“Mr. Koskinen should no longer be the IRS Commissioner. We have asked the President to remove Mr. Koskinen from office. 

Mr. Koskinen failed in his duty to preserve and produce documentation to this Committee. The IRS failed to comply with a congressional subpoena. The IRS further failed by making false statements to Congress. We will pursue all constitutional remedies at our disposal, including potential contempt proceedings or perhaps impeachment of Commissioner Koskinen.

Under Mr. Koskinen’s leadership, the IRS failed to properly preserve agency records despite a subpoena and an internal preservation order. Shortly after being sworn into office, Mr. Koskinen was issued a subpoena. This created a legal obligation to preserve materials relevant to the Congressional investigation. However, just one month later, with an awareness that a gap existed in Lois Lerner’s email production, the IRS destroyed back-up tapes. These tapes may have contained the missing emails from the time frame in which she admitted the agency was targeting conservative 501(c)(4) groups. 

Not only did this destruction of 24,000 potential emails occur after the materials were under subpoena, but also after the agency’s own Chief Technology Officer (CTO) issued a preservation notice ordering employees not to destroy anything. The CTO later stated he was ‘blown away’ that back-up tapes were destroyed ten months after his preservation notice.

Further, The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration’s (TIGTA) June 30, 2015 investigative report confirmed the IRS destroyed documents and misled Congress about the agency’s efforts in complying with congressional subpoenas.

Mr. Koskinen misled Congress and the American people when he appeared before the Oversight Committee in 2014 and asserted he would produce all of Ms. Lerner’s emails.  At the time of his testimony, the agency was already aware that gaps existed in Ms. Lerner’s email production due to a hard drive crash.  Mr. Koskinen did not make Congress aware of this problem nor did he take sufficient efforts to recover the missing emails.  TIGTA’s report confirmed that the IRS failed to even look for the back-up tapes and neglected to look at five of the six sources where emails could have existed.

At best, Commissioner Koskinen was derelict in his duties to preserve agency records. At worst, he and the IRS engaged in an orchestrated plan to hide information from Congress.

Given Commissioner Koskinen’s obfuscation and misleading statements to Congress, and the false claims that key evidence was permanently destroyed, the result has been an unnecessarily protracted investigation. More importantly though, the American people will never know all the facts surrounding the agency’s targeting of conservative tax-exempt 501(c)(4) groups. This is an unacceptable outcome and one that demands those responsible be held accountable.” <Source>

Bottom line …

John Koskinen was a well-credentialed and experienced executive. A man with a law degree from Yale Law School. His experience with turnarounds and managing large enterprises (Freddie Mac) speak to his executive abilities. And, somehow Koskinen finds himself embroiled in a political firestorm over the IRS targeting of conservative organization which may have materially impacted a presidential election cycle.

It is unbelievably sad that here is a man whose past career will be forgotten and he will forever be remembered for scandal and lying to Congress.

Political corruption is one of the existential threats to America. If decent men can be corrupted by power, prestige, and public recognition in the media to the point they fail to resist improper demands or resign their positions publicly, we are so screwed.

WHAT DO YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE IN COMMON WITH HILLARY CLINTON?

Many young people are not old enough to know the truth about the Clintons. That Hillary Clinton is an aging Marxist who was mired in corruption, cronyism, and lying for her entire political career. And, that if not for her pervert husband Bill, the sexual predator, it is most like that Hillary Clinton would be either a money-grubbing lawyer trading favors or a bitter, shrill Marxist professor.

So what does Hillary offer to young people?

  • The perspective of age and the hope of the young – not likely as she is more concerned with consolidating her power from her bunker and insuring that her friends are rewarded and her enemies punished. A management style left over from the Bill Clinton era where it failed spectacularly and saw criminal charges brought against numerous members of the Clinton Administration.
  • The chance to excel – if you haven’t noticed, Hillary Clinton is more about giving your birthright – citizenship and its benefits to illegal aliens and those who do not work as hard as you. Imagine that your dream job demands that you be ranked under people less qualified than you or forced to join a union that rewards seniority over merit. Allowing a politically correct and fossilized management to keep you working at their pace.
  • Honesty, Integrity, Trustworthiness – these are not words associated with Hillary Clinton.
  • An expanding economic opportunity – again, we would see our resources plundered and given to foreign nations under the guise of “social justice.” Hillary Clinton does not believe in America, she believes in a world under socialism.

Bottom line …

If there is anyone who would rob America and its youth of their rightful place in the world and abundant opportunity, it is Hillary Clinton – so corrupt she stole the furnishings of the White House – “The People’s House” as she walked out the door.

The sad truth is that Hillary Clinton and the progressive socialist democrats – in reality, the neo-Communist Party in the United States – cannot and will not protect America and Americans. Nor uphold the Constitution or Rule of Law that governs us all.

If I had to sum up Hillary: corrupt, sleazy, and totally devoid of American values.
