Professor Hillary

Hillary Clinton is in negotiations to become a professor at Columbia University ... see: NY Daily News Story.There are a few questions and stipulations surrounding this possible development:

- Will she be charging $250,000 per lecture?

- Will her classroom be under a broken glass ceiling?

- What subject(s) will she be teaching -- Gender Bender Studies? Cattle Futures Trading? The Teachings of Saul Alinsly? Keeping Law Firm Billing Records? Political Ethics? Cookie Baking? What' s Wrong with Constitutional Law? Marital Fidelity? Wine Tasting? The Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic Studies? The Path to Socialism? Ashtray Throwing? Arkansas Real Estate Speculation? Public Speaking for Fun and Profit? Managing a Travel Office? FBI Files Data Mining? Spirit Cooking? The Advantages of Charitable Foundations? and/or How to Run for Political Office?

- She will only teach one hour a day, two days a week ... and never before noon.  She may have substitute guest lecturers chosen from among her friends -- Hubby Bubba, Harvey Weinstein, Ayatollah Khamenei, Barack Obama, John Forbes Kerry, John Podesta, Huma Abadin, Madelaine Albright, Mohamed Morsi, and Beelzebub. She still will be paid the same under these circumstances.

- The name of this university must be changed to something more PC.

Comey, I Shrunk the Fibs

FBI Director James Comey reopened Hillary Clinton's email investigation last October because of  "hundreds of thousands" of Hillary's emails that had just been found on her aide's Huma Abedin's husband, Anthony Weiner's computer, This staggering number of emails then needed to be viewed to determine if national secrets had been compromised. Next, within a matter of a few days, Comey disclosed that this Weiner email investigation had been completed and there was no reason to reverse his July conclusions that Hillary should not be indicted. Everyone scratched their heads ... wondering how this massive effort could have be completed so quickly.

Last week Comey testified under oath at the Senate Intelligence Committee and said that this number of emails on Weiner's computer was now "hundreds and thousands" -- a considerable drop from his previous number. And finally, yesterday, before his firing, Comey had sent a letter to this same Senate committee correcting his earlier testimony ... saying this number  was down to a "handful" of emails ... another precipitous drop ... see: Breitbart Article.

Now one would assume that Director Comey knows basic arithmetic and has a competent staff which could help him keep his numbers straight. But no, it took to the morning of the day of his firing by President Trump to get his fibs finally straight.

I wonder if this series of shrunk email estimates in such a critically important matter had anything to do with Comey losing his job?

Gorilla Dusts

FBI Director James Comey's letter to the House of Representatives on Friday saying that he was re-opening the Clinton e-mail investigation has caused the Democrats to grab handfuls of gorilla dust to throw into the air to confuse things. In particular:

- Both Hellary and John Podesta claimed that Comey only sent his critical letter to House Republicans -- NOT TRUE, he sent it to an equal number of ranking Democrats.

- Democrats claimed that the FBI did not have a search warrant to peruse the Abedin/Weiner computer -- Anthony Weiner is said to have given the FBI their computer so it didn't need a warrant.

- Hellary and Campaign Manager Robby Mook have claimed that Tomey hasn't seen all the e-maiłs in this "ambiguity bomb" so how does he know that they are material ... and they could be duplicates of ones already in hand -- the FBI has had this info since September. I'm sure that they know everything that is in them. They were discovered in a file folder call "Life Insurance" ... probably culled from Huma's correspondence by either Huma or Anthony as insurance against stressful times. (My money is on Weiner.)

- Democrats have resurrected the specter of Russian involvement in our election ... pretty much a generic charge that is trotted out when nothing else is at hand.

- Harry Reid, in a letter to Tomey, has accused him of violating the Hatch Act which forbids the FBI of involving itself in elections. This charge needs to be investigated further but it is probably just more gorilla dust. Stay tuned.

It has just been revealed that there are 650,000 e-mails and documents in this treasure trove ... hopefully including all those that Hellary's people destroyed last March ... and then some. No wonder the FBI needs to take some time to resolve things.

DickiLeaks

During the FBI investigation into Huma Abedin's husband, Anthony Weiner's, possible criminal sexting with a minor, four unsecured computers and/or smart phones were seized from their home which apparently have revealed items that caused concern (Dickileaks?). The fact that FBI Director James Comey has interjected himself into this presidential race eleven days before Election Day is a dramatic and risky move. Speculation abounds as to why he would have done such a precipitous thing that might jeopardize Hellary's chances at election. 

I would like to offer some possible reasons for his actions ... some of which I have heard on the media and some of which are original. I have arranged them in order of what I think are the most likely possibilities, from top to bottom ... and also suffixed them with a number indicating the possible damage (10 = worst) to Hellary's campaign ... or her presidency (if the are not revealed until after the election in which she might prevail):

- There were non-duplicate e-mails found that contain classified or highly classified government information on an unsecured computer (7)

- From my son -- there were e-mails from Hellary which show her clear "intent" to conceal her other e-mails ... which was the rationale for not pursuing things further in July (10)

- There were e-mails or documents discovered revealing pay for play interaction between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation or associated entities (8)

.

- There were original or forwarded e-mails discovered from Huma to her mother or brother (both connected to the Arab Brotherhood) or other foreign entities that compromise U.S. Foreign policy matters (10)

- There were e-mails discovered that reveal personal relationships within the Clinton crime family and the Abedin/Weiner family that pose serious embarrassment or conflicts of interest ... in particular between Huma and Hellary (4)

- There were e-mails or documents that Anthony Weiner had access to that, although not classified, nevertheless compromise State  Department operations or intentions (3)

Whatever is eventually revealed, I suspect part of Comey's motivation for this dramatic statement is to try to resurrect the FBI's and his reputation after his blatantly political decision in July to let Hellary skate on the original discoveries ... and also the recent revelations that his second in command, Andrew McCabe,was tainted by significant contributions (bribes?) to his wife's campaign from Terry McAuliffe, a Clinton Foundation Board member ... see: Who Cares?

The next few days should be very interesting ... and consequential ...

Brotherhood's Keeper

Are we.the Muslim Brotherhood's keeper? To a certain degree, yes, we already are ... and will be much more so if Hellary Clinton is elected president. The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) is, to many, a terrorists organization ... but it's slowly becoming our own terrorist organization as it stealthily insinuates itself into our government. President Obummer has already met with this group multiple times at the White House. And we also know that Hellary's close confidant, Huma Abedin, previously worked for 12 years for the main MB publication and that her family (father, mother, brother) are key executives in the worldwide MB organization. (If you don't know these things, read The Hill Article or, if you prefer, The Washington Post Article.) But now we find out that the Clinton Foundation employed the MB's chief spokesman, Gehad El-Haddad, for a formative five years ... see: Powerline Blog. He is now in prison in Egypt.

During the Obummer administration ... and with its support ... the Muslim Brotherhood under Morsi came within a whisker of turning Egypt into a totalitarian caliphate and now is on trial there for a series of heinous crimes. I would like to believe differently, but I am convinced the the MB tenants are ever so slowly shaping the foreign policy in the United States ... and that we are now on the doorstep of its attempt to duplicate the Egyptian experience here.

I know it is often difficult for we complacent Americans to confront a dangerous future, but now it's decision time folks.

Buffalo Springfield

"Everybody look what's goin' 'round ..."

Hellary Clinton it appears has "pneumonia" ... this is why she collapsed halfway through the 9/11 ceremony on Sunday. Now, many other Democrat operatives also have pneumonia ... it's goin' 'round ... Senator Chuck Schumer, Campaign Manager Robbie Mook, and others in her Brooklyn campaign headquarters ... see: People Magazine. Boston radio host, Howie Carr, has compared this pneumonia echo to the "I am Spartacus" scene in the Kirk Douglas movie where all the escaped slaves step forward with this same avowal to protect Kirk.

But the real 64 million dollar question is: Does Huma Abedin also have pneumonia?

I have another skeptical comment about Hellary's health problems. Her persistent and serious coughing has been attributed to "seasonal allergies." Now, since this malady was first evidenced in her public appearances this last January 25th ... exactly what season are we talking about? It has been with her now for three seasons?

Huma, Phone Home!

He's at it again. Anthony Weiner is back doing his ugly thing ... sexting, with crotch shots and all, to women he finds online. Don't let your children read the following story and, if you do read it yourself, be prepared to take a shower afterwards ... see: NY Post Story.

This man is not just sick ... he may well be so deranged to be dangerous. Being that his wife, Huma Abedin, is constantly away helping Hellary climb any stairs, Anthony is at home babysitting their son and burning up the Internet with salacious messages describing his Lothario passions. Being that such behavior has already destroyed his political career, it is very strange that he has been unable to rein in these abarrant behaviors.

If, God forbid, Hellary is elected president, I can't imagine that Huma won't be a regular resident of the White House ... attending to her partner-in-crime's every need. And, if this comes about, will Weiner also be invited to ply his nastiness out of one of the back bedrooms? Being that our first residence needed to be fumigated after Bill Clinton left there in 2001. I suspect that, after Hellary were to leave, it may need to be razed.

Afterward: Huma has had enough ... see: Daily Mail Revelation.

Hellery

Hellery Clinton is up to her horns in hot e-mails ... despite her vexatious denials. The State Department is refusing to release twenty-two of the hundreds of classified e-mails from her private (bathroom) server as being too sensitive to reveal even in redacted form ... see: New York Times Article. This is on top of the revelation that it is quite likely that foreign governments such as China, South Korea and Germany (probably also Russia and Iran) had hacked into this unsecured server and now have more knowledge about the secret workings of our administration than does our Congress ... see: Politico Story.

Also some four discovered Sidney Blumenthal e-mails reveal that Hellery was running her own independent intelligence operation separate from the CIA ... see: Daily Caller Article. You have got to give this woman credit ... she lives her life like there are no rules or protocols whatsoever ... and the only people who really count are her family and Huma Abedin. Just imagine what it would be like if she were the grand poobah ...

Jollies

"Jollies" is an interesting word. It can be quite innocent and Yule-like ... or it can refer to sexual pleasures of almost unlimited appetite. We have recently seen a number of famous people exposed for how they get their jollies. Bill Cosby immediately comes to mind ... but then there is Charlie Sheen ... Eliot Spitzer ... of course, Bill Clinton and his procurer, Jeffery Epstein (see: Breitbart Story) ... his former aide, Dick Morris ... Anthony Weiner (the husband of Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's amanuensis) ... perhaps Huma herself with her boss ... Barack Obummer (see: Gay Abandon) ... the list goes on and on and on. In fact one can, without compunction, surmise that virtually every human being, from Catholic priest to Muslim Imam ... from philosopher to poet ... from bricklayer to Boy Scout leader ... all have or have had unique ways of getting their jollies.

The question then becomes ... what types and manners of jollydom are acceptable to our civilized society? Clearly, in our lifetimes, the bounds  for satisfying ones' jolly appetites have been greatly relaxed and expanded to levels unimagined by our Puritan founders.  A short jaunt on some of the Internet porn sites will demonstrate this range of jollydom ... and likely curl your hair. I don't suppose I can here go through the taxonomy (interesting word) of these practices, but I think I can safely say that any such act that damages someone else physically or mentally should be conscripted ... this means involving innocent children, harm to one or more parties (even if desired), and, in my opinion, any activity that disrupts the public's sensibilities (such as public sex in a gay pride parade.)

Call me a prude if you wish ... but just don't deny me my jollies.

Fleas

The Obama administration has clearly favored the Muslim Brotherhood … for reasons that have never been fully clear to me.  I have written numerous times about this puzzlement. (See: HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE ... and finally HERE).
Now the fog is beginning to lift.  One of the chief spokesmen for the Brotherhood has had an intimate connection with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Gehad (an interesting first name) el-Haddad, a former top official in the Clinton Foundation for five years, has just been arrested in Cairo for inciting violence there … see: Free Beacon Story.  

Haddad most recently has been an adviser to Egyptian President Morsi … who was elected under the aegis of the Muslim Brotherhood.   Morsi’s recent ouster there by the Egyptian military was due to his tyrannical mandates in his early months as President … which then caused massive street demonstrations … far outnumbering those that had previously toppled the former Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak (with a nudge from Barack and Hillary).

Another obvious connection between President Obama and this very dangerous radical Muslim organization is Barack’s half-brother, Malik Obama, who has been overseeing the Muslim Brotherhood’s international investments (see: WND Story) … not something you might see on the front page of the New York Times.  Clearly Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been, since his inauguration, of a like mind regarding the Muslim Brotherhood.

But these are not the only Clinton-Muslim Brotherhood connections.  Huma Abedin, a very dear personal aide to Hillary Clinton (and wife of Carlos Danger, aka Anthony Weiner, failed Democratic candidate for Mayor of New York City) is also closely connected to the Brotherhood.  Her mother, Saleha Abedin, is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, an allied organization, and her brother, Hassan Abedin, is also closely linked to the Brotherhood in England … see: Wally Shoebat's Comments.

And as the Clintons may hopefully soon discover … if you lie down with dogs, you end up with fleas.  If this embracing of the Muslim Brotherhood by the Clintons does not disqualify Hillary from running for President in 2016, it will only be with the full cooperation of most of the national media … who are also looking a little flea-bitten of late.

AFTERTHOUGHT:  Isn't it interesting that the Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni-dominated organization and the Syria-Iran axis represents the Shia branch of the Muslim faith?  Is the United States now squarely and stupidly in the middle of this centuries-long sectarian bloodbath? It would seem to simple-minded me that our foreign policy in the Middle East should have been based instead upon encouraging and promoting secular governments there.

Weiner-Schnitzel

The Clintons' live in a parallel universe … one devoid of rules and consequences. If something is verboten, they feign not understanding German.  No misdeed on their part cannot be circumvented without some clever turn of a phrase (meaning of "is") … or a phone call to a “back-scratcher.”  America has seen these shameless shenanigans so many times from these well-greased weasels that we have learned to sigh and change the subject. After all, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

Now we have another bending of the system… Hillary Clinton’s amanuensis, Huma Abedin, the wife of disgraced Congressman, “Weiner” Weiner, had apparently been given a special dispensation by our former Secretary of State to hold two jobs at once … one on the taxpayers' dime and one as a well-paid “consultant” (lobbyist? … I think this is illegal, but who’s counting?)  See: NY Times Story.  But then, this cute couple needs to pay for their new $3.3 million apartment ... see NY Post Story.

If “Weiner” Weiner moves next year into Gracie Mansion (as NYC Mayor), I suppose Huma will assume at least one more well-paid city sinecure … perhaps as dogcatcher?

Puff the Magic Dragon

The New York Times clearly believes it can perform miracles.  This week, in it's Sunday Magazine section, it has featured "The private life of a former power couple," Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin.  If you have not just eaten a meal, you might skim this bit of puffery here: NY Times Puff Piece. And, as you would see, if you could stomach the entire article, it does spend some time to summarize Weinergate (Anthony Weiner's 2011 sexcapades on social media) but also talks at great length about Huma's and Anthony's sympathetic courting and married life ... their child together ... and their close relationships to Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Why is the Times doing this?  It appears to this reader that this article's author, Jonathan Van Meter, is shoveling as many words as he can on top of what was and is a very sordid Anthony Weiner story ... all in the hope that he might effectively bury it.  And why bury it?  It's all politics and money.  Weiner has a $4.3 million war chest with which to run this year for Mayor of New York City.  And, if he enters this race, the taxpayers will supplement this considerable amount with another $1.5 million of matching funds.  (You need to be patient ... these salient facts are not revealed until almost the end of this article.)  With $5.8 million, I believe some good political operatives (of which the Clinton's have a surfeit) could get David Berkowitz (that 1970's serial killer, "Son of Sam") elected to replace Mayor Bloomberg.

So, does the New York Times "live by the sea ... and frolic ... in a land called Honah Lee?"  We shall see. We shall see.
