Pat Caddell: Hillary Clinton Email Scandal ‘Worse Than Watergate’

Pat Caddell: Hillary Clinton Email Scandal ‘Worse Than Watergate’:

“This is the greatest scandal in the history of the United States,” Caddell said. “They all ought to be indicted. This is worse than Watergate.”

Clinton, he explained, would soon be exposed for using her connections in the State Department to enrich her family, her foundation, and her supporters."

Politics: NAACP requires photo ID to attend anti voter ID protest march

Politics: NAACP requires photo ID to attend anti voter ID protest march | Best of Cain
"...Obviously these laws are extremely racist.
Requiring minority voters to show ID to cast a ballot is, clearly, a way for old white men to oppress them. 
So, as usual, the NAACP has been foaming at the mouth as it continues its completely genuine, not-at-all-phony, struggle for "equality."
Each year the civil rights watchdogs hold a so-called "Moral March on Raleigh." 
The annual event is designed to protest any laws that Republicans may have passed during the preceding 12 months. 
This year’s march took place this weekend, and it focused extensively on the Voter ID regs.
So, what did you need if you wanted to attend?

Yup, that's right.
You needed to have a "driver's license, passport, or other valid Photo ID" if you wanted to protest the evil Republican scheme to make sure you to have a "driver's license, passport, or other valid photo ID" in order to vote.
That is the liberal progressive mind in action.
Aren't these the very same people who are constantly making the argument that poor, uneducated, minority voters can't get a photo ID due to the deplorable conditions into which our "downright mean" country has forced them?
Isn't the NAACP disenfranchising would-be marchers by stripping them of their 1st Amendment rights?
More importantly, if they're required to bring a photo ID to the protest march they should already have one when the elections roll around. Doesn't that negate the point of holding the march in the first place?
Remember everyone:
The NAACP thinks you're more than capable of getting a photo ID to attend their rally, but they think it's an insurmountable hardship for you to get one in order to vote.
We'd like to congratulate the usually obtuse NAACP for so openly destroying its own arguments. Hopefully they'll do it more often.
When they do the heavy lifting, it makes our jobs just that much easier.
Be sure to "like" Robert Laurie over on Facebook and follow him on Twitter.
You'll be glad you did."

SOCIALISM: PROTECTED BY THE CONNECTED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR AND THE MIDDLE CLASS

SOCIALISM: PROTECTED BY THE CONNECTED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE POOR AND THE MIDDLE CLASS. AS USUAL. Venezuela Burns as Court Entrenches Gridlock.

The Venezuelan Supreme Court late this week ruled in favor of the country’s President, Nicolas Maduro, in his dispute with Venezuela’s National Assembly over a move Maduro made last month to increase his control of the country’s finances and economy. . . .

On Friday, the opposition’s leader Henry Ramos announced that he would announce concrete steps for setting up a referendum to remove the “national disgrace that is the government” in the coming days. The opposition had previously said that it planned to call a referendum within six months, but on Friday Ramos said that six months would clearly be too long. Maduro told his supporters “not to underestimate the threats Henry Ramos made today against peace and stability of the Republic.” No one should underestimate the chances for political violence erupting in the coming weeks and months.

To be fair, Venezuela’s “leaders” should have been hanging from lampposts years ago.

20 Face-Melting Quotes from Late Justice Antonin Scalia Will Make You Miss Him Even More:

Justice Antonin Scalia passed away Friday at the age of 79. The conservative-leaning, Reagan appointed Justice was famous for his dry, blistering dissents and firm commitment to Constitutional originalism. Scalia, who was educated at Harvard Law and was a practicing Roman Catholic, did not mince words on the following hot-button issues:

On Constitutional Flexibility

That’s the argument of flexibility and it goes something like this: The Constitution is over 200 years old and societies change. It has to change with society, like a living organism, or it will become brittle and break. But you would have to be an idiot to believe that. The Constitution is not a living organism, it is a legal document. It says something and doesn’t say other things.

Peyton Manning’s squeaky-clean image was built on lies

KING: Peyton Manning’s squeaky-clean image was built on lies - NY Daily News:
Thirteen years ago, USA Today obtained 74 pages of explosive court documents on Peyton Manning, Archie Manning, the University of Tennessee, and Florida Southern College that revealed allegations of a sexual-assault scandal, cover up, and smear campaign of the victim that was so deep, so widespread and so ugly that it would've rocked the American sports world to its core.
Yet USA Today never released those documents for reasons I can't explain.
Mel Antonen, now a baseball writer for Sports Illustrated, wrote about the documents for the paper on Nov. 3, 2003.
Three days later, Christine Brennan, longtime sportswriter for USA Today wrote an op-ed about Peyton Manning and the documents entitled, “Do you really know your sports hero?” but the scandal pretty much died right there.
Facebook wouldn’t be invented for three more months. Twitter didn’t come for three more years.
The word “viral” was still only being used to describe the spread of infectious diseases.
But when the documents were sent to me on Tuesday, two days after the Super Bowl, it was immediately clear to me that had the world actually known what they contained, it’s doubtful that Peyton would have ever been the “swell, golly, gee-whiz” pitchman for Nationwide Insurance, DirecTV or Papa John’s Pizza.
...Less than 24 hours later, a source who claimed to see my article on the racial double standard, sent me a 74-page court document from Polk County court in Florida.
Sitting in the San Francisco airport, waiting for a flight home, I opened the PDF, began reading, and felt like I had stumbled on to state secrets.
I literally moved to where nobody could see my computer screen.
...This document says, in essence, that it's all a facade, an act, a well-designed for-profit creation, maintained and manicured at all cost.
For me, it was like reading proof that the first Apollo moon landing was really a fictional tale filmed in a Hollywood studio designed to dupe us all.
That flag, planted in the moon, seemingly blowing in the wind, was a ruse after all.
Maybe B.o.B. was right on this one fact.
I read every single page in the airport before I boarded my flight.
Maybe a good hundred times, I wondered to myself, Why — and how — had all of this been kept secret for so long?
Titled "Facts of the Case," and submitted to the court by the plaintiff's lawyers, the document, which warrants many more takes and reflections than what I will offer today, is simultaneously shocking, disgusting, painful, and infuriating.
It offers us the living, breathing human names and faces of the individuals the American sports machine is willing to mow down in the name of profit and fame..."

A No-Fly Zone Over Parts Of Syria?

JustOneMinute: A No-Fly Zone Over Parts Of Syria?
"First, the good news - with the new deferred limited cessation of some hostilities deal reached in Munich, critics of the appeasement of dictators can still say "No More Munichs" without having to specify either 1938 or 2016.
I think it is obvious that Putin has taken Obama's measure and concluded that he does not have the stomach (or other anatomy further south) for a confrontation in Syria.
We aren't going to have boots on the ground occupying restive Sunni areas, and we will have only limited Special Ops sneakers on the ground.
...Christopher Harmer also identifies some disturbing potential plot twists.
For example:
In an attempt to fracture NATO, Russia could instigate some type of minor offensive action by Syria against Turkey.
If Turkey invoked Article Five of the North Atlantic Treaty, calling on all members of NATO to react to an attack against Turkey, individual NATO members could claim that Turkish participation in a No-Fly Zone not specifically authorized by the UN was responsible for the reaction by Syria, and therefore Article Five does not apply.
This potential effort to fracture NATO in this context would represent a continuation of the anti NATO, anti EU policies that President Putin has pursued throughout his time in power.
Hmm..."

Ted Cruz Says Second Amendment Will Be ‘Written Out of the Constitution’ If Any of These Presidential Candidates Are Elected | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Following the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz said the 2016 election should be a “referendum” on the nation’s highest court.

The Texas senator told NBC’s Chuck Todd Sunday morning that he is looking forward to debating either of the Democratic presidential contenders on the future of the Supreme Court. However, according to Cruz, it isn’t just the two Democrats who could immeasurably alter the interpretation of the Constitution, in particular when it comes to gun rights."

Troops betrayed as Army dumps hundreds of heroic war dogs

Troops betrayed as Army dumps hundreds of heroic war dogs | New York Post:
....Bullets were coming closer now; the enemy had long ago picked up on how important the dogs were to the Americans, how successful they were at sniffing out bombs.
“I know there were three separate incidents where they shot at ­Oogie,” Daniel says.
And as he lay on top of his dog, he stroked him and whispered and kept him calm.

...In September 2012, Daniel and about 18 other soldiers boarded a flight back to North Carolina; their deployment was over.
Waiting on the tarmac were employees from a North Carolina-based company, K2 Solutions, which had the government contract for the dogs.
Within moments of deplaning, the handlers got to pat their dogs on the head, say their goodbyes, then watch as the dogs — and all their equipment, down to their shredded leashes — were boarded on a truck and driven away.
“It’s a bunch of infantry guys, and no one wants to be the first to start crying,” Daniel says. 
“But it didn’t take long. 
There wasn’t a dry eye.”
Daniel got Oogie’s paw print tattooed on his chest
The only solace these soldiers had was the knowledge that they could apply to adopt their dogs, and that the passage of Robby’s Law in November 2000 would protect that right.
More than three years later, Daniel still doesn’t have Oogie.
The dog has vanished.
Daniel, who doesn’t want to use his real name because he’s on active duty, is one of at least 200 military handlers whose dogs were secretly dumped out to civilians by K2 Solutions in February 2014, a Post investigation has found.
At least three government workers were also involved and may have taken dogs for themselves.
It’s a scandal that continues to this day, with hundreds of handlers still searching for their dogs — and the Army, the Pentagon and K2 Solutions covering up what happened, and what may still be happening..."

The Lights Go Out In Bernie Sanders’ Utopia, Venezuela

The Lights Go Out In Bernie Sanders’ Utopia, Venezuela | Power Line:
"Venezuela’s slide into poverty and chaos continues.
The country’s socialist government is now rationing electricity to shopping centers. 
They will have to close for portions of the day unless they can generate their own power.
But they can’t generate their own power, due to the government’s strict currency controls that prevent them from obtaining foreign currency that would allow them to buy the necessary equipment.
That’s life under socialism, every time.
Someone tell Bernie!
Better yet, tell a journalist who moderates one of the Democrats’ debates.
Don’t you think a real reporter would want to ask Bernie what he makes of Venezuela?
After all, the country has, as the linked article notes, “the world’s largest known oil reserves,” yet Venezuelans can’t buy toilet paper, let alone food. 
Does this perhaps tell us something about Sanders’ preferred economic system?
Then there is the violence: 
Venezuela has a sky-high homicide rate of 58 deaths per 100,000 people, around 15 times the U.S. rate.
Funny thing, Venezuela also has strict gun control laws, including a ban on private ownership of firearms, the American gun-grabber’s Holy Grail.
But that doesn’t seem to do any good. Just one more thing a debate moderator might want to bring up, assuming of course that the debate moderator is a Republican.
But the Democrats aren’t dumb enough to recruit their enemies to moderate their debates."

Company discovers man’s six-year absence from work after trying to give him award

Company discovers man’s six-year absence from work after trying to give him award | CBS 4 - Indianapolis News, Weather, Traffic and Sports | WTTV:
A company discovered an employee’s six-year absence after trying to give him an award.
According to The Guardian, Joaquin Garcia, 69, began working for the Spanish local authority in Cadiz in 1990.
In 1996, he was sent to work for the local water board, Agua de Cadiz; his job was to oversee a waste water treatment plant. 
He was paid €37,000 a year before taxes by the company.
In 2010, Garcia became eligible to receive a long service award. 
Deputy mayor Jorge Blas Fernández says Garcia was still on the payroll, but when he went to look for Garcia, he was nowhere to be found.
The man who occupied the office next to Garcia said he hadn’t seen the employee in several years.
Fernández called Garcia into work and asked where he had been.
“I asked him: what are you doing?
What did you do yesterday?
And the previous month?
He could not answer,” Fernández told The Guardian.
That is when Fernández discovered Garcia had not occupied the office for at least six years, and he had done no work between 2007 and 2010. 
Apparently the confusion occurred because the water company thought he was being supervised by the local authorities and vice versa.
This week a court fined Garcia €27,000 ($30,000), which is the equivalent of one year of his annual salary after taxes.
Garcia is trying to fight the fine, and he told the court he visited the office occasionally, but he didn’t keep regular business hours.
He said he was bullied at work because of his family’s socialist politics."

Road To World War III: Turkish Army Enters Syria After Second Day Of Shelling As Saudi Warplanes Arrive

Road To World War III: Turkish Army Enters Syria After Second Day Of Shelling As Saudi Warplanes Arrive | Zero Hedge:
"The Syrian government says Turkish forces were believed to be among 100 gunmen it said entered Syria on Saturday accompanied by 12 pick-up trucks mounted with heavy machine guns, in an ongoing supply operation to insurgents fighting Damascus," Reuters reports. "The operation of supplying ammunition and weapons is continuing via the Bab al-Salama crossing to the Syrian area of Azaz," the Assad government says.

Meanwhile, since all that would take to unleash a full-blown war is for some Russian to be unexpectedly blown up, events like this do not inspire much confidence in the Syrian "ceasefire":

On Saturday, the geopolitical world was shocked when Turkey began shelling Aleppo, where the Syrian opposition has its back against the wall in the face of an aggressive advance by Hezbollah and the IRGC supported, of course, by Russian airstrikes.

To be sure, everyone knew Ankara and Riyadh would have to do something quick if they wanted to preserve the rebellion. 
Their proxies are being rolled up rapidly by Hassan Nasrallah’s army and Vladimir Putin’s air force juggernaut. 
But few expected the escalation would come so quickly..."

"The only tears Obama seems to shed are when he’s unsuccessful in stripping us of our Second Amendment rights. Other governors and leaders are horrified over officers being slain left and right, but not Obama. He heads for the nearest golf course. While Beyonce struts her hate-filled stuff, officers are being gunned down in the street. Hope that blood money is worth it. She glorified the controversial Black Lives Matter movement, the murderous Malcolm X and the militant Black Panthers organization. All three have one thing in common — a burning distrust of law enforcement and a desire to see them dead. Blue lives matter."
