Others questioned why, when being slammed with insults from her opponent, her expression did not drop. 'Hillary Clinton's smile is the scariest thing I've ever seen in my life,' said one observer. 'When Hillary smiles she looks like an evil snake,' another commented.
With her opponent dogged by accusations of sexual assault, Hillary Clinton had strong odds as she entered the third presidential debate on Wednesday.
Only one thing seemed to threaten her chances of victory: her smile.
The
Democratic candidate faced a flood of insults as she took to the stage
at the University of Las Vegas, with many viewers confessing they were
'creeped out' by her stubborn grin.
Hundreds took to Twitter to describe her smile as 'scary' and 'creepy'.
Why is 45% of the Country so obtuse as to let America go down the rabbit hole?
So, to add to the corrupt revenue agency and the corrupt justice
department, we now have a corrupt national law enforcement agency and a
corrupt foreign ministry - willing, indeed, to subordinate national
security and its own diplomatic policy to the personal needs of Hillary
Clinton. Needless to say, if you get your news from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times, etc, etc, you will be entirely unaware of all this. Which is the way they plan on operating for the next eight years.
Just ahead of tonight's final debate (from which I shall be several thousand miles away):
As I've said for years - on radio, TV and in print - for me the
overriding issue in American politics is the corruption. In the Obama
era, we have seen the remorseless merging of the party and the state -
in the IRS, in the Justice Department and elsewhere. Whatever one feels
about, say, Scandinavia, they at least come to their statism and
socialism more or less honestly. Not so the United States.
It's bad enough that Democrats aren't agitated about this corruption -
but then it works to their advantage. Slightly more mysterious is why
so many of my friends on the right aren't incensed by it. For months,
conservative commentators assured us that, when it comes to straight
arrows, no arrow is straighter than FBI honcho James Comey -
non-partisan, career public servant, will follow the evidence whereso'er
it leads; why, "no one in law enforcement" is "more capable of navigating through a political maelstrom" and any attempts to politicize the outcome will ensure that "Comey will resign in protest, and other high-level FBI officials could follow him out the door".
All bollocks. Bollocks on stilts. Like everything else the Clintons
touch, Comey's FBI is hopelessly corrupted - and certainly more corrupt
than J Edgar Hoover's FBI, at least in the sense that Hoover was
independent enough not to get rolled. The revelations of what happened
reveal Comey to be a hack and a squish: he offered immunity to Hillary's
aides not to facilitate his investigation but to obstruct any further
investigation; he allowed witnesses to Hillary's crimes to serve as her
"lawyers"; and he physically destroyed the evidence - that is, the
laptops. A 6' 8" gummi worm would be more of a straight arrow.
Thousands of taxpayer-supported Seattle teachers are planning to
don Black Lives Matter t-shirts this week in public schools and
force-feed left-wing propaganda to their students about race in an
effort to draw attention to the systemic racism they imagine is embedded
in the public education regime.
The shirts say “Black Lives
Matter” and “We Stand Together,” which is almost identical in meaning to
the Hillary Clinton campaign slogan “Standing
Together.”
The Black Lives Matter cult is animated
by a hatred of normal American values. Its members idolize convicted,
unrepentant black militants and cop-killers Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu
Jamal and have declared "war" on law enforcement. Its members openly
call for police officers to be assassinated. Sympathizer Micah X.
Johnson answered the call murdering five cops
in cold blood during a Black Lives Matter rally in Dallas in July.
Black Lives Matter, which is vehemently anti-white, ought to be
designated a domestic terrorist organization for fomenting a war against
police, critics say.
The October 19 event is being run by
Social Equality Educators (SEA), a group of teachers within the Seattle
Education Association (SEA), a local collective bargaining unit. A
political faction, SEE runs candidates for offices in the SEA.
A new White House
plan aims to train teachers and mental health professionals to
intervene and prevent Americans from turning to violence ideologies,
work now mostly done by law enforcement, a draft of the policy seen by
Reuters to be announced on Wednesday shows.The
18-page plan marks the first time in five years the Obama
administration has updated its policy for preventing the spread of
violent groups, such as those that motivated the perpetrators of attacks
in the last year in Charleston, South Carolina, San Bernardino,
California, Orlando, Florida, New York and New Jersey.
A
self-styled white supremacist shot dead nine black people inside a
historic African-American church in Charleston and the other shootings
and bombs were inspired by Islamist militants, who have carried out
attacks on civilians in several countries.
Both
Republicans and Democrats in Congress have questioned Department of
Homeland Security officials over the delay in updating its approach to
countering recruitment strategies by Islamic State, which controls parts
of Iraq and Syria, and other groups. ...

#WASTEGATE
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA (CBS46) - Lawrenceville police are investigating a
claim that involves a Democratic National Committee tour bus illegally
dumping human waste in between campaign stops. Read more: http://www.cbs46.com/story/33418363/w...
(CNSNews.com) – The new Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of
African American History and Culture’s tagline is “powerful moments in
African American history, culture, and community.” However, the museum –
with a $540 million price tag
funded 50 percent by U.S. taxpayers and with a collection of more than
36,000 artifacts and 100,000 people represented – doesn’t include many
prominent blacks, including Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and
Edward Brooke, a Republican who became the first African American to be
elected to the U.S. Senate by popular vote in 1966.
After touring the new museum and exploring the website,
which contains information on all the exhibitions in it, CNSNews.com
asked the Smithsonian why Thomas, Brooke and eight other prominent men
and women are not included in the museum.
CNSNews.com asked: “Many
prominent African Americans are not included in the museum, most
notably Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas … Can [the institute say]
why Thomas and the others listed below are not a part of the museum
exhibits?”
Amongst Republicans there are two
kinds of Trump-haters: the never-Trumpers who boast that they’ll never
support him, and the non-never-Trumpers who say they’ll do so, but only
by holding their noses. By their timidity, the latter reveal the tragic
flaw that has prevented Republicans from winning elections. They’ll
advance their arguments in favor of the Trump issues, and then go on to
express their contempt for the man who had the courage to articulate
them. Winners don’t do this sort of equivocating. ...
Noonan echoes Pauline Kael here:
Miss Noonan turns next to the “allegations” of sexual abuse by the
Clintons’ victims, and again she establishes an equivalency between
Hillary and Trump — all of the victims must be believed:
We cannot know for certain what is true, but my
experience in such matters is that when a woman makes such a charge she
is telling the truth. In a lifetime of fairly wide acquaintance, I’ve
not known a woman to lie about sexual misbehavior or assault.
It’s extraordinary that, with all of the empirical research on faux
sexual abuse accusations, Miss Noonan chooses to look only to the
experience of herself and her friends. Based on her own experience, the
Trump and Clinton accusers have equal credibility. There’s no need to
examine individual cases.
... This great article defines the old GOP right here:
So here we come to the heart of the matter. The establishment Right has
always felt insecure in the face of the more polished, witty,
cosmopolitan Left. It is they who get the best tables at Le Cirque,
they who get to hobnob with glamorous movie stars and sports figures.
It is they who get to look down on conservatives simply on account of
what they believe.

This is the sick attitude pervading the lefty Democrats that is openly expressed by Obama, Clinton and the administration. It has been further ben exploited by Soros with "Black 'Lies' Matter" as a form of a Black KKK. m/r
New emails exposed by WikiLeaks on Sunday detail how the Clinton campaign responded to the terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
If I didn't read it myself, I'd barely believe it.
Here's
the towering denial of Islamic terrorism -- I'd add the adjective
nauseating -- of Clinton campaign chief John Podesta and Hillary's
whole, rotten crew of terror apologists. Fox News:
The
emails were part of a trove of messages stolen from the gmail account
of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, who has had a long association
with the Democratic presidential nominee and her husband, former
President Bill Clinton. The email chain began on Dec. 2, when digital
operative Matt Ortega forwarded a tweet from MSNBC host Christopher
Hayes that named one of the shooters in the San Bernardino, Calif.,
attack as Sayeed Farook. Consultant Karen Finney forwarded the email to
Podesta, commenting, “Damn.” Podesta responded: “Better if a guy named Sayeed Farouk [sic] was reporting that a guy named Christopher Hayes was the shooter.” Farook
and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, gunned down 14 people and injured 22 in a
terror attack during a holiday party at the Inland Regional Center on
Dec. 2. The attackers pledged their allegiance to ISIS before dying in a
shootout with police later in the day.
