As ObamaCare (Hillary claims it as Hillarycare!) Implodes, A Walk Down Twitter Memory Lane from Marathon Pundit

John Ruberry does a great job on his blogs--this is one of his best ever. OS suggests you go there, and keep a pdf of this page, as those tweets will likely disappear--soon.

The richest one of course, from Hillary's lips to your ear--from 16 February 2016:

"You know, before it was called Obamacare, it was called Hillarycare."

Rigging the Election - Video IV: $20K Wire Transfer From Belize Returned Over 495,000 Views In One Day



Dont'cha just love the term 'conflict engagement'--as in violent disruption of GOP candidate rallies.

Ron Fournier: Clinton Used Secret Server To Protect “Circle Of Enrichment” MSNBC Interview with Morning Joe

Even the Clinton campaign team knew that Hillary and Bill were using the secret server to enable the shakedown of donors for their own enrichment.

This interview is from MSNBC!! Fournier is not right-wing kook, rather a life-long Democrat.

This is not The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

The final ten seconds of the video are particularly damning...

The MSM may be waking to the notion that they have been (willingly) hustled by the Clintons, the Obamas, the DNC. et al., who of course will not be around to clear up the wreckage when their customers--their viewers--simply stop believing a word they way, and cease to consume their product. It's happened to the large liberal daily papers already. The broadcast networks are next.

Let's not bother to shed a tear for any of them. They have poisoned the culture, and deserve to go out of business.

Who I Voted For

OS voted early this year, on the second day the polling place up in Mayberry County's county seat was open. The place was packed--parking at a premium, about thirty folks cheerfully waiting in line in the tiny building.

With rare exception OS has not missed an Election Day at any level since he turned eighteen. In the contest between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, OS voted for the third party--the whole trauma of Watergate and the loss of the Vietnam War (which featured the death of the son of the family's closest friends) had left its mark. No to both was the verdict that year.

Four years later, OS voted for Reagan, and recalls a mild sense of nausea at the moment--from fear that Carter might actually be given a second term, or that Reagan might turn out to be worse. The Iran debacle, and the economy nearly completely unwinding, and 20% mortgage rates did not earn Mr. Carter a second bite at the apple. Better a plain-speaking actor than an incompetent Sunday School teacher.

The years have marched on since 1980, have they not? And here we are, facing chaos, with an audacious criminal within reach of the Oval Office, succeeding another like her, with only The Donald stepping into the line of fire to dare challenge Herself, barely surviving the onslaught of those who are desperate to keep Things As They Are.

So OS voted, this time with a calm heart and sense of moral clarity, with this reasoning:

The Donald will not achieve everything he lists in his stump speech. If he gets even 25% of it done, we are in much better shape. Miss Hillary, upon achieving 25% of her list, will create havoc.

But for whom, really, OS's legions of readers ask, did he vote?

1. OS voted for the families in his world who have children in military service, in the hopes that they will have a Commander-in-Chief who will not sacrifice their lives for the sake of their own political ambitions. The memory of the funeral of that young man lost in Vietnam, and the tragedies that befell his family in the decades that followed, are still fresh in the mind. OS does not wish to attend the funerals of those bright young kids.

2. OS voted for his friend the police officer in Mayberry, who works to prevent crime by teaching the law-abiding how to protect themselves. He is a kind soul, and is on any given day these days, a target. OS doesn't wish to attend his funeral either, or see him persecuted for simply doing his job.

3. OS voted the men of Mayberry--the ones who used to have great modest careers pouring concrete, framing houses, working as plumbers on large projects. Now, they compete with illegal Mexican labor, work longer hours (when work exists) for less money than they did fifteen years ago. A lot of them now mow lawns and do handyman work, and OS hires them. They are beaten down by it all, and some are very angry. Marriages crumble under the weight.

4. OS voted for a choir of young people who sang for him at an urban high school. They sang like angels when he visited the classroom, bringing tears to his eyes. The teacher explained that it was the choir that kept most of them in school at all. All but one were black (and the white kid spoke black street patois), and they were eager bright kids. Some really had voices that could develop into something special in the wider world. OS conducted a quick survey--

Who was Beethoven? (A composer)
When did he live? (Blank stares)

Who was Scott Joplin? (Blank stares)

Who was Duke Ellington? Dizzy Gillespie? Count Basie? (A few had heard the names)

OK, closer to home--Who is Quincy Jones? (Blank stares) Who was Michael Jackson? (Some recognition there) Did you know Quincy was a classically trained black composer who was Michael Jackson's producer? (Blank stares)

OK, closer to home, who is Ice Tea? (The white kid knew the old-school hip hop artists...)
Tupac? (a few could answer 'Shakur')
Song titles they knew -- Blame It On (The Alchol! they chimed in)
Tryin' to catch me(Ridin' Dirty! they chimed in)

The teacher's pained look said so much. He was doing heroic work, and these kids were doing better than most of their peers. I asked for a show of hands of the seniors--about 15 kids. Two sort of had some sort of further education plan. Most had not even taken an ACT.

The teacher introduced me to the principal--we walked to the office in the company of a police officer. Nice lady, who broke up three fights in the course of our twenty minutes together.

The city in which this school is located has been in the hands of the Democrats since the days of Andrew Jackson. This is abject inexcusable failure. 

5. OS voted for his friends with enormously talented kids who struggle to run their modest businesses and send their kids to college without seeing them incur mountains of debt. It is a daily struggle--no wealth is being built, they are grateful the doors stay open and some sort of future is possible. They both work other jobs, by the way.

6. OS voted for friends, who like him, lost their health insurance last year, after struggling to maintain some decent amount of coverage for ever-spiraling prices.  To no avail--the insurance pools vaporized, and that which was available was priced at twice the monthly mortgage, for inferior coverage. Mrs. OS refuses to go to the doctor, and she should, because the costs are so high. The 'pool' coverage most bought will likely vaporize again, or double in price. Thanks, Obama!! This is your creation!

7.  OS voted for his hometown, which is rapidly becoming too dangerous to enjoy. After the random murder of a tourist three weeks ago, two blocks from the Symphony Hall, the orchestra is handing out tickets gratis for this weekend's concert, which will be wonderful. Mrs. OS has put her foot down--not a chance of venturing down there on a Friday or Saturday evening. The city in which this orchestra is located has been in the hands of the Democrats since the days of Andrew Jackson. This is abject inexcusable failure. 

8. OS voted for his daughter, doing the work of the Lord in a hospital in one of the worst cities of the East Coast. Only a matter of time until some BabyDaddy decides to shoot up the ER, and OS prays daily for the safety of all the souls who work there. She and her husband work full-time, are raising a child, and have no prayer of home ownership in their part of the world. The state in which they live, and cities where they work, have been in the hands of the Democrats for the past fifty years. They will have to leave to have a future.

9. OS voted for his son, a brilliant young artist and scholar. He will need an economy in his lifetime that actually produces wealth in order for the institutions in which he will work to survive. He is also a young man of his own well-formed opinions, and OS sees the darkness close in over the traditions of free speech and thought that used to rule in academia. Academia is eroding quickly, the emperor has noooo clothes, and Academia has been under the control of The Left since the at least the 1960's, and in the case of the Ivy League, well before that. OS's son swims in perilous waters.

10. OS voted for his his extended world of families and friends. A number of his favorite people, near and dear, are naturalized citizens who arrived here legally, and followed every rule. They waited in line, paid the fees, took the exams, contribute to the culture. One student in particular naturalized from a country south of the Rio Grande. He speaks perfect unaccented English. He looks totally Mexican. If there ever is a general backlash by enraged rednecks, this kid is in danger. The immigration crisis is just that, and it endangers everyone, especially those who obey the law.

11. And, OS voted for his extended family. For his wife, who works way too hard for way too little, doing world-class work in a world that is shrinking. For his departed father who drove a landing craft onto a beach in the Pacific in the mid 1940's and saw his friends die around him. Those like him who survived came back wounded in body and soul. For his father-in-law who served in the Korean era, blessedly never saw combat, but learned how to be a doctor to all manner of people in all manner of circumstances thereby,and quietly gave away a fortune in his working years. For the family friends who lost their son to Lyndon Johnson's mad scheme in Vietnam. For OS's grandchildren and nieces and nephews, the kids at his church, the kids of his friends.

The list could stretch on and on. All of these good people, living and departed, deserve a future better than what Hillary and Bill, Barack and Michelle, Huma Abedin, John Podesta, John Kerry, Tim Kaine, Janet Yellen, and all the other assorted criminals and fraudsters offer.

So, that's how OS voted.

Go vote, ya'll, Compile your own list. Take your friends to the polls with you.

It Really Matters: Peter Van Buren Says It Well

OS always thinks of his vast legion of readers, hoping they will glean value from his wise suggestions.

One such suggestion is author Peter Van Buren, whose bio is inserted below. Notice, this gent is no flaming conservative living in his mom's basement playing video games....

Peter Van Buren, a 24-year veteran of the State Department, spent a year in Iraq. Following his book, We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People, the Department of State began proceedings against him. Through the efforts of the Government Accountability Project and the ACLU, Van Buren instead retired from the State Department on his own terms.

Peter’s commentary has been featured in The New York Times, Reuters, Salon, NPR, Al Jazeera, Huffington Post, The Nation, TomDispatch, Antiwar.com, American Conservative Magazine, Mother Jones, Michael Moore.com, Le Monde, Japan Times, Asia Times, The Guardian (UK), Daily Kos, Middle East Online, Guernica and others. He has appeared on the BBC World Service, NPR’s All Things Considered and Fresh Air, CurrentTV, HuffPo Live, RT, ITV, Britain’s Channel 4 Viewpoint, Dutch Television, CCTV, Voice of America, and more.

Peter Van Buren is pleading with anyone who will hear that Hillary Clinton is a danger to the world.

The article is at the link, for the legion of readers. A few choice quotes, to encourage the faithful along:

The arguments of “everybody does it” and “well, it wasn’t illegal” in regards to the email server, the Clinton Foundation, pay-for-play, donor access, dirty tricks against Sanders, the many well-timed coincidences of Trump revelations, and more, are strawman logic.

Leaving aside the idea that people usually say “everybody does it” and “well, it wasn’t illegal” only when their own candidate gets caught doing something, what was done matters.

It really does.

....

To expose to the world even the appearance of such impropriety is a disgrace. The president has as one of her roles setting the example for the federal workforce. Is the example that as long as it skirts the edge of legality it is fine behavior? If I was a contracts officer in the Social Security Administration and allowed a vendor to donate crazy amounts of money to my spouse’s non-profit as I was considering a contract award, would that too be OK? What about if I was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a speech to that organization? What if I would not let anyone know what I said? All OK? Does everyone really do that?

Dear Legions of Readers: Do YOU do that at your place of business or service? Really? Is it OK for your colleagues and supervisors to do that? Really?

OS sent two children to the local elementary school out here in Mayberry, back in the halcyon days of Bill Clinton's regime. The school principal was a kindly gent, let's call him Mr. Lester. He was tall, spoke with a lovely drawl, could name every kid in the school, and in many cases has taught their parents and grandparents. He had taught and mentored several of the teachers in his school, from first grade onward. He was One Of Those Guys, trusted and beloved, and still is.

As the extent of Bill's behavior with and about Miss Lewinsky became known, OS encountered Mr. Lester in the halls of the school, and asked a simple question:

If you behaved toward a student teacher like the President has behaved toward Ms. Lewinsky, what would happen to you? 

He chuckled, and in that broad drawl said: Why, they'd put me UNDER the jail!

That was twenty years ago, dear readers. How much ethical sewage has flowed under the historical bridge in the United States since that day?

Vote ya'll. For Trump and down the GOP ticket, ya'll.

And, while you still can, send dollars in The Donald's direction.

Whoodathunk any of us would be at the place where we now find ourselves? What if just a few more senators had voted to impeach Bill back in the day? How many tens of thousands (at least!!) of lives would have been saved around the world?

It matters who wins.





 

 

MSNBC interview African Americans in South Carolina: 'Let's Not Be Deceived!'

That young white man with the perfect haircut could not get away from that lady fast enough!!

This lovely, dignified, black woman is NOT drinking the Donna Brazile Kool-Aid. She's married, and very likely an active church member. No drugging, gang-banging, or any of the standard pathologies that the Dems rely upon to keep these good folks on their plantation.

Miss Hillary will not be pleased to see this. Legions of OS readers (you know who you are!!) share this one on!

How the election is attracting illegal immigrants to the U.S--Time For That Wall, Ya'll!





Check out the scene in the bus station in the final :30 or so--the illegals are welcomed in, and given bus tickets to the interior!! The itinerary shown has one gent headed for Maryland...

This is completely out of control. This is an invasion, sponsored by our own government. The aim is to create an intractably chaotic situation, and seize upon the chaos to seize more power.

Lock Her Up!-Project Veritas Connects Hillary Clinton Directly to PACs In Violation of Federal Law




Yew Nork Timez Whiiiiinez About A Hillary Thug Who Was Jailed For Assault Of A Trump Voter At A June Rally.

Can't make this stuff up, folks.

QOTD --from the police who rounded up the thugs--

The police later traced the most violent run-ins to “local gangsters” with long criminal records, according to Sgt. Brian Anderson, who headed the San Jose police team that pored over thousands of hours of videos from the rally.

Farah Stockman, who wrote the essay, ostensibly sympathetic to both the perps and the victims, spreads the moral darkness even further. She gives both equal moral weight--the Trump supporters who were brutalized by Hillary's thugs--citizens exercising their black-ink Constitutional right to peaceably assemble, are really no better or worse than the thugs.

The description of the gent who was attacked, and his family, are simply heartbreaking, maddening even. His family escaped the Communist thugs of Vietnam in the 70's, only to see the son attacked by equally Marxist thugs in California. 

The perps? Why, they are just victims of ciiiiiircumstance!!! Why did those meaaaan Pohless people arrest and prosecute them for terrorizing the Trump supporters?

Check out the video here, readers, where the Clinton Campaign muscle describes exactly how they intentionally disrupted rallies--with physical violence.  Then read the Yew Nork Timez essay. They line up, exactly. The violence perpetrated by the perp was scripted.

Not surprisingly, the Timez article is not open for comment.

Connect the dots. And see how the Timez enablers attempt to distract, and explain away, Leninist thuggery. They can't blame it on the Trump supporters, since all the evidence points away from them, and to the Clinton thugs--so it's time to pull out the hankies for the perps.

Don't buy it for a minute. Not a even a second.

The Trump Agenda Announced in Gettysburg

View here for yourself.

The ideas are clear.

The language is simple and unequivocal.

The contrast is stark between The Donald and Miss Hillary, the Democrats and the Establishment Republicans.

The violent disruption of Trump rallies by paid DNC operatives is indisputably documented.

The collusion between the mainstream media and the Clinton machine is indisputably documented.

The choice is clear.

Go vote, ya'll!
