And now there appears to be a leak from a New York medical office that shows a diagnosis.  According to the leaked document, Clinton was diagnosed with "Complex Partial Seizures, and Subcortical Vascular Dementia." 

Apparently this never got posted here because of the limitations of probation, so here you go: So...here we are...18 years.  Mostly good.  Clintons a Liar, Dr Raouls costumes, AppyPappy's daughter singing the National Anthem, Kristinns wonderful reporting.  The repugnant lies of Classy Green Eyed Blonde and DeepInTheHurtgenForest.  The surreal cryptic posts of quidam.  The lib trolls like Eschoir.  The March for Justice?  Heady times.  They really were.  Fighting against a President who had the gall to look us in the eye and lie to us.  But the last 9 months?  Absolutely unrecognizable.  A lot of great FReepers run off.  And...

So FOX news just carried a few seconds of a stump speech by 40 time loser John Kasich.  Imagine how UNSURPRISING to see sitting attentively listening was a woman dressed in Muslim headscarf.  Seems like a HUGE NUMBER of political speeches these days have Muslim WOMEN in the background...you know, to make the viewer on TV see the politician is TOLERANT.  So I did a little search and found this article: http://www.idigitaltimes.com/muslim-population-us-new-poll-shows-none-us-have-any-idea-392930 that says the Muslim population is 0.8% of the USA.  Figuring a 50/50 split among that number leaves one figuring that 0.4% is female.... Yet somehow, some WAY,...

The release Tuesday by the National Archives of a fresh trove of documents detailing the Clinton administration's dealings with billionaire Donald Trump could become the latest fuel for flame-throwing in an already incendiary 2016 presidential race.  ADVERTISEMENT The documents include: a signed copy of Trump's “The Art of the Deal,” delivered to a top aide to then-President Clinton; logs of Trump’s invitations to the Clinton White House; and an entry about a Trump Towers photo-op with the president.  The files come at a sensitive time in the Republican presidential race, and could be used by Trump’s top rival Texas Sen....

Just over half of Americans agree with Mitt Romney that Trump is a 'fraud' and a 'phony', but Republicans disagree As the Trump campaign maintained its strong momentum Republican heavyhitters Mitt Romney and John McCain blasted the frontrunner in unusually blunt language.  Romney's intervention was particularly severe, calling Trump a 'phony' and a 'fraud', while John McCain said that Trump was 'dangerous'.  Trump reacted in typical style, noting that Romney had 'begged' him to endorse his 2012 campaign.  A narrow majority of Americans (51%) agree with Mitt Romney's assessment that Donald Trump is a 'phony' and a 'fraud', though 31%...

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is charging into the increasingly divisive White House race with a verbal lashing of Donald Trump and a plea for fellow Republicans to shun the front-runner for the good of country and party.  Romney is branding the billionaire businessman as "a phony, a fraud" whose "promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University," according to a speech Romney planned to give at the University of Utah on Thursday morning.  The Associated Press obtained excerpts of his remarks in advance.  Trump, in turn, dismissed Romney as "a stiff" who "didn't know what he...

1) Trump has favorability ratings that make him unelectable: The American public is very familiar with Donald Trump and people hate his guts.  Trump's current favorable/unfavorable rating is 34/58.  Just as a point of comparison, the two biggest landslides in history were against Jimmy Carter (33/58) and Walter Mondale (34/40).  Trump is so unpopular with the general electorate that we might as well be running Jared Fogle or Bill Cosby.2) Trump consistently loses to Hillary Clinton in head-to-head polls: Given that so many people know Trump and already dislike him, it's hard to understand why anyone thinks he'll win in...

February 26, 2016 The Great Racial Hoax of Albany By Colin Flaherty The Great Hoax of Albany started out straightforwardly enough: a dozen violent and racist white students harassed, threatened, tossed N-bombs and attacked three black coeds -- hurting them really, really, really badly.  For no reason whatsoever.  It ended Wednesday when Albany police charged the three black women with assault, and charged two of them with filing a false police report about the racial violence.  Despite her claims of injury from the beatdown, the tweeting from one of the victims, Asha Burwell, began almost right away: "I can't believe...

Ted Cruz Sent "Voter Shaming Letter" To Iowa Professor of Political Science and the recipient eviscerates Cruz's campaign claim in an article via the New Yorker: One of the targeted voters of Ted Cruz's campaign shaming letters is a political scientist in Iowa.  He was none to happy with the message, or the data of himself and his neighbors.  In Iowa, although voter registration information is free and available to the public, voter history is not.  That information is maintained by the secretary of state, which licenses it to campaigns, super PACs, polling firms, and any other entity that might...

Supporters of Mike Huckabee are launching a TV attack ad here in the final days of the race that casts Ted Cruz as a charlatan feigning intense Christian devotion to win votes.  The ad, which is being aired by the pro-Huckabee super PAC Pursuing Americaâ€™s Greatness and was previewed for BuzzFeed News, depicts two women chatting prior to a group Bible study about the upcoming Iowa caucuses.  The women are shown discussing recent leaked comments in which Cruz privately told donors he wouldnâ€™t prioritize fighting same-sex marriage if he was elected; they also talk about Cruzâ€™s reportedly meager record of...

[photo] While some suspect 'conservative' media to be in Trump's pocket -or at least sourcing revenue from said pocket- still more are now scratching their head at Palin's highly-dubious endorsement of a pro-abortion non-conservative (who thinks mocking disabled people is funny)... so it's time to wonder what the value is of Trump's much-trumpeted 'can't be bought' spiel, now that he appears to be the one doing the buying.  Small wonder the corrupt, self-serving GOPe thinks their interests could be potentially better served by electing a wheeling, dealing quasi-dictator instead of a principled man -and proven conservative- like Ted Cruz.  Flashback to last June...

With the work of the small language groups done, Phony Synod 2015 moves to the drafting phase in which the Pope's unelected, progressive-dominated committee of ten compose a final document purporting to be the sense of the Synod on the matters before it.  This will be unveiled to the Synod Fathers today (October 21) for a mere half day of debate, including a laughable 2.5 hours of general discussion and debate among them this evening.  The document produced by this unelected committee is in turn to be based on an Instrumentum Laboris (working document) larded with more than eighty additional...

As he brags that he is turning down millions of dollars for his presidential campaign, Donald Trump has leveled a steady line of attack against his rivals: that they are too cozy with big-money super PACs and may be breaking the law by coordinating with them. “ You know the nice part about me?”  he told reporters in Iowa in August. “ I don’t need anybody’s money.”  What Trump doesn’t say is that he and his top campaign aide have connections to a super PAC collecting large checks to support his candidacy — a group viewed by people familiar with his campaign...

<p>The television networks gleefully featured footage from yesterday’s “No Labels” meeting in New Hampshire of a young woman aggressively challenging Donald Trump on abortion and equal pay for women (video below).  But thanks to work by Subdance of Conservative Treehouse, we know that she was a plant, a paid staffer of Senator Kelly Ayotte, and a Bush campaign volunteer.</p>

Ben Carson has been bragging all week that he would charge head-on at gunmen, if he ever encountered one — and now he says he actually has been faced with that threat.  The Republican presidential candidate said Thursday morning that he had a gun drawn on him while visiting a Baltimore fried chicken restaurant, reported The Hill. “ I have had a gun held on me when I was in a Popeye’s organization,” Carson said on Karen Hunter’s Sirius XM Radio program. “ Guy comes in, put the gun in my ribs,” Carson said.  Carson said twice this week that the victims...

Donald Trump on Saturday responded to a question from CNN about whether Muslims pose a danger to the country, saying: "I love the Muslims.  I think they're great people."  The Republican presidential front-runner made the comment after addressing high school students here at their homecoming Saturday night.  During a question-and-answer session with students, Trump was unable to avoid being asked about the latest political controversy dogging his campaign: his decision not to correct a supporter this week who called President Barack Obama a Muslim.  One student told Trump that she considered Muslim-Americans to be an important segment of the country....

<p>Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee addressed claims Wednesday that one of his aides blocked fellow Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz from speaking at a Kentucky rally for Kim Davis on Tuesday.</p>
<p>“Look, I invited him to come and meet with Kim Davis.  It was our event.  We were kind of surprised that he showed up.  But you know, once he was there, we invited him to come and meet with her.  So I’m not sure what the controversy is,” Mr. Huckabee said on Fox News, Politico reported.</p>

False claims of racism and hate crimes related to sexuality seem to be endemic.  So desirable is the status of victim that some people, especially those in academia, have been known to vandalize their own cars, attach nooses to their office doors, and otherwise fabricate hate crimes against themselves.  Oberlin College, with a history of hysteria over fake hate crimes, even generated worldwide headlines for its overwrought response to a series of “hate crimes” that turned out to be false.  We don’t know what percentage of hate crime reports are self-generated hoaxes by the purported victims.  Often there is no...

Who else would a conservative folk hero turn to for wise counsel while contemplating a run for president but Bill Clinton?  It's cute that WaPo thinks this is a big "get" as if it'll discourage a single Trump supporter from backing him.  The first rule of political hero worship is that the hero can do no wrong.  Four Trump allies and one Clinton associate familiar with the exchange said that Clinton encouraged Trump's efforts to play a larger role in the Republican Party and offered his own views of the political landscape. ...  Clinton was reportedly "upbeat and encouraging" during...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says he is personally offended by rival Donald Trump's recent remarks about Mexico and immigrants and calls the remarks far outside the mainstream of Republican thought.  In spite of earlier criticism from Bush and other Republicans and companies moving to cut business ties to Trump, the real estate mogul has defended his remarks. " I don't think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way out of the mainstream of what Republicans think," Bush told reporters after marching in Fourth of July parades in New Hampshire. 

You may not believe this, but Donald Trump may have started his run as president with highly dubious claim.  After bounding on stage at his headquarters, Trump Tower, the bombastic billionaire looked up at the crowd that surrounded him in awe. “ Whoa,” Trump said. “ That is some group of people.  Thousands.  There’s been no crowd like this.”  However, we were there, and it seemed like there were no more than a few hundred supporters lined up to watch Trump speak.  Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told Business Insider the campaign did not have an "official tally."  However, she said it would...

First lady Michelle Obama had plastic surgery, including a nose reconstruction job which helped alter her African-American facial features.  The procedures reportedly were done at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in complete secrecy during the summer of 2011, according to an exclusive sourced investigation by THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER! ( 1) This block buster news story, complete with before and after pictures of FLOTUS, states, “in a slap in the face to America’s courageous wounded warriors,” Madam Obama had work done on her saggy skin, her face, butt, hips, and abdomen.  Allegedly, all or most of this Presidential plastic surgery was done...

ry as she may, Hillary Clinton has a long way to go before the left wing of the Democratic Party embraces her as their own.  Liberals have spent much of the past year trying to pull Hillary Clinton to the left, even betting behind a phantom Elizabeth Warren candidacy to exert pressure on her.  But now that Clinton in the early going of her campaign sounds a lot like the senator from Massachusetts, progressives should be pretty pleased.  But in several leading figures of the American liberal groups say that so far, they are not much impressed.  In the week...

Hillary Clinton's astroturf candidacy is in full swing in Iowa.  Her Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton.  Bird told Daily Mail Online that campaign staffer Troy Price called and asked him and two other young people to meet him Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Davenport, a nearby city.  Price then drove them to the coffee house to meet Clinton after vetting them for about a half-hour.  The three got the lion's share of...

Her bizarre New Age views on topics such as reincarnation and UFOs have often left the public baffled.  Now Shirley MacLaine has provoked widespread fury by claiming the victims of the Holocaust may have brought their fate upon themselves.  The veteran Hollywood actress suggests the six million Jews and millions of others systematically murdered in Hitler’s death camps in the 1940s were ‘balancing their karma’ for crimes committed in past lives.  She also suggests that cosmologist Professor Stephen Hawking may have subconsciously given himself his debilitating motor neurone disease. 

Remember the EPA bureaucrat who got caught receiving $900,000 in pay without working because he claimed he also was employed by the CIA?  According to a report from the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, the man, former climate policy expert John Beale, “retired” when questions arose about his spotty attendance and expense records.  Only he didn’t file his retirement paperwork and continued to draw an active-duty salary for some time after.  His boss at the time in the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, now-EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, knew this for about seven months and did nothing to stop...

NBC'S Brian Williams admits on air to lying On 02/04/2015 Front Page,U.S.,World NBC News’ Brian Williams has been caught in a lie and forced to recant.  The nation’s top-rated news anchor apologized on the air Wednesday evening for fabricating a story of personal heroics, claiming to have been aboard a helicopter in Iraq in 2003 when it was hit by enemy fire. “ I made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago,” Williams said.  At the time Williams reported the original incident, he did not claim to be on the Chinook copter that was hit by a rocket-propelled...

Four years ago I wrote a book about modern American liberalism: Never Enough: America’s Limitless Welfare State.  It addressed the fact that America’s welfare state has been growing steadily for almost a century, and is now much bigger than it was at the start of the New Deal in 1932, or at the beginning of the Great Society in 1964.  In 2013 the federal government spent $2.279 trillion—$7,200 per American, two-thirds of all federal outlays, and 14 percent of the Gross Domestic Product—on the five big program areas that make up our welfare state: 1.  Social Security; 2.  All other...

Compassion creates a co-dependency between the empathizers and the empathizees: Liberalism is an “alliance of experts and victims,” in the words of Harvard’s Harvey Mansfield.  To top that up to 51% of the voters, says Voegeli, liberals argue that “those who do not recognize the expertise of the experts are stupid, preferring ignorance, and those who do not recognize the victimhood of the victims are wicked, lacking compassion.”  If the empathizees ever disappeared (by, say, having their miseries extinguished) then the empathizers would lose their purpose, the soothing soul balm of caring. 

Here's a transcript — edited for length and clarity — of The Texas Tribune's in-depth interview with land commissioner candidate George P. Bush, in which he lays out his positions on environmental policy.  Texas Tribune: Commissioner [Jerry] Patterson has talked about, as part of his legacy, promoting the development of renewable energy on some of [the] land [managed by the General Land Office, or GLO] … that’s a way of diversification, and you never know what’s going to happen to the price of natural gas or with the shale boom.  Is that something that you’re interested in and plan to...

Senator Rand Paul was spotted hobnobbing at a party in the Hamptons last weekend after he claimed he could not attend a high-profile conservative event he was listed as a sponsor of because he had a 'family commitment.'  Paul told the Family Leader he had to skip the group's annual summit on Saturday because he had to attend an event in New York with his family.  The presumed 2016 presidential candidate's absence at the influential Iowa gathering was called into question, however, after the New York Post reported that Paul and his wife, Kelley, attended the East Hampton Library fundraiser...

WASHINGTON – An openly transgender Episcopal priest is set to preach at Washington National Cathedral.  The Rev. Dr. Cameron Partridge, the Episcopal chaplain at Boston University, will be a guest preacher on Sunday.  He'll be the first openly transgender priest to preach from Canterbury Pulpit at the cathedral. 

To be fair, it has been the practice of politicians since the beginning of politics to set up straw men – false arguments or choices – and proceed to knock them down.  Having said as much, there is no one better at it than Barack Obama.  This short compilation video from our friends at Washington Free Beacon captures some of his best efforts.  Among them: “Why are folks working so hard for people not to have health insurance?” “ What’s wrong with helping young people get ahead?” 

Saying he wants to change a culture in youth sports where kids are encouraged to “suck it up” after sustaining head injuries, President Barack Obama on Thursday said it was time coaches and athletes started thinking about better ways to keep kids safe on playing fields.  Obama said he could recall instances during his own days in Pop Warner leagues when a particularly hard hit left him sidelined for a spell. “ There were a couple of times where I’m sure that that ringing sensation in my head and the need to sit down for a while might have been a...

On ABC’s hit series “Scandal,” President Fitzgerald Grant is often seen sneaking out of the White House for a clandestine meeting with the covert agents of B-613 or a secret rendezvous with Olivia Pope, but nothing could be further from the truth.  The real president isn’t sneaking anywhere.  President Obama explained earlier this week what it’s like to try and break out of the White House bubble. “ Every once in a while, I’m able to sneak off… I’m sort of like the circus bear that kind of breaks the chain, and I start taking off, and everybody starts whispering, the...

Beginning Palm Sunday, April 13, 2014, and running through Easter, April 20, the Church is launching an Easter initiative called “Because of Him,” focusing on the hope, healing, and salvation made possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  Elder David F. Evans, Executive Director of the Missionary Department, said, “As followers of Jesus Christ, we seek to do as He has instructed: ‘Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.’  The ‘Because of Him’ Easter initiative is part of an ongoing effort to follow the Savior’s admonition.”  Using the Internet and social media, the Church...

Country star, actor and restaurateur Toby Keith sparked a controversy after banning guns from his newly opened eatery in Virginia.  The 52-year-old Oklahoma native held a grand opening last week for his newest venture, Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill in the DC suburb of Woodbridge.  But many of the singer’s fans who turned up for the event were shocked to discover a sign in the window that announced: “NO GUNS PERMITTED.” … 

Sen. Rand Paul was supposed to be a more politically savvy version of his father, former Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul.  The senior Paul energized a subset of the Republican Party, but the younger Paul was supposed to be a more mainstream advocate for limited government and a non-interventionist foreign policy.  The Kentucky senator has even been touted as one of the leading candidates for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.  Yet time and again, he has shown why he shouldn't be taken seriously.  The latest controversy surrounding Paul, which has been detailed in a series of stories at...

How much do some distrust Obama?  Enough for at least one person to suggest that the woman who fainted behind the president at his Obamacare speech earlier in the week was part of a White House gag:Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eupEkeYOhj4 "Patriot Lady" explains her conspiracy theory: I don’t watch a lot of television.  In fact, I don’t ever watch it.  If it doesn’t come on Netflix or an online video I usually skip it.  That’s why it took me a little while to watch the video of the President rescuing the damsel in distress in the Rose Garden.  It popped up on...

Phony Current Employment Statistics (CES)Â“How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?  Four.  Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg. Â” â€• Abraham Lincoln- By: Larry Walker, Jr. -According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), via its September 26th CES Preliminary Benchmark Announcement, the number of Private Sector Jobs reported in March 2013 was overstated by 136,000, and the number of Government jobs was understated by 12,000.

The matador’s bright red cape and his agile moves to anger and tire the animal are the outstanding metaphor used by Attorney W. L. Albert.  Moore, Jr., who is bringing an Amicus Curiae in support of lead appellant L. Dean Johnson in the request for an Alabama Supreme Court oral argument in yet another case dismissed by lower courts in the Barack Obama eligibility saga.  Moore, no relation to Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, is a nationally certified fraud attorney who has a completely new angle on the American political nightmare that just will not die.  Moore told CiR...

Home » Opinion » Columns September 02.  2013 7:35PM Thomas Sowell: Obama is a truly great phony Many years ago, I was a member of a committee that was recommending to whom grant money should be awarded.  Since I knew one of the applicants, I asked if this meant that I should recuse myself from voting on his application. " No," the chairman said. " I know him too — and he is one of the truly great phonies of our time."  The man was indeed a very talented phony.  He could convince almost anybody of almost anything — provided that they...
