Dodd Frank Is About To Be Thoroughly Hillaried The Daily Caller

Dodd Frank Is About To Be Thoroughly Hillaried | The Daily Caller:
"I can no longer sit quietly and watch this country implode from all of the Washington corruption.
Today I watched Hillary Clintons speech and I was appalled.
I watched her tell the audience how she would bring Wall Street to heel and hold them accountable.
I listened to her say how she would use Dodd Frank legislation to manage that process.
It is all complete BS.
Hillary is fully aware of the large scale bond fraud uncovered in Puerto Rico.
A criminal conspiracy so large that it calls into question all $70 billion dollars of Puerto Rican debt. Hillary is calling for a complete bailout and supports current legislation to do just that.
The Puerto Rico Senate held investigative hearings in early 2015 to explore the financial failure of one of its largest municipal agencies.
One government executive after another testified under oath that they knew they were technically bankrupt when they issued these bonds and could not pay them back. 
The witnesses then went on to say that although the credit agencies (Moody’s, Fitch and S&P) knew they were insolvent, they could secure good credit ratings for the bonds for the “right fee.” 
According to the same testimony, Wall Street’s biggest banks knew all this but for the “right sales fees” they would sell these junk bonds as safe retirement income to their retired investors.
The SEC has already performed four full audits on four bond issues and found the audits to be consistent with the Senate testimony.
These agencies were insolvent and it could not have been accidentally overlooked by the Rating Agencies and the Banks.
We have seen this before with the 2007-2008 CMBS (mortgage bonds) crisis.
The Rating Agencies and the Banks almost prefer to support these failing agencies because it forces them to refinance debt they can’t pay off as agreed before they have to admit it to their bond holders. This “Ponzi Scheme” forces frequent and costly refinancing on a regular basis, generating huge fees for the Rating Agencies and Banks. 
All good, if you can continue to refinance fast enough and bring in new investors quick enough to pay off the old investors.
As in the case with Puerto Rico and other States and Cities, even a small hiccup causes the hold house of cards to collapse.
It is pretty clear that the Agencies issuing the bonds, the Rating Agencies issuing fraudulent ratings and the Banks selling junk bonds all broke the law and violated almost all of the provisions of Dodd Frank..."

Obama Invites 18.7 Million Immigrants to Avoid Oath of Allegiance, Pledge to Defend America-

Obama Invites 18.7 Million Immigrants to Avoid Oath of Allegiance, Pledge to Defend America - Breitbart:
"It’s not only illegal aliens who are escaping enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws.
Under the Obama administration’s expansive interpretation of executive authority,  legal immigrants seeking citizenship through the nation’s Naturalization process are now exempt from a key part of the Oath of Allegiance.
Immigrants seeking to become citizens no longer have to pledge to “bear arms on behalf of the United States.” 
They can opt out of that part of the Oath.
Nor do they have to cite any specific religious belief that forbids them to perform military service.
...The pledge to help defend America was good enough for the 6.6 million immigrants naturalized since 2005 and good enough for the over 15 million naturalized since 1980, but Obama’s appointees at the USCIS think that is too much to ask of the 18.7 million estimated legal immigrants eligible today for eventual naturalization or the 750,000 who will be naturalized in the coming year.
This radical change was announced a year ago, in July of 2015.
Congress did not enact the change in new legislation.
There was no congressional debate, no filibuster in the US Senate, and no sit-in in the House to demand that a bill to repeal the USCIS action be brought to a vote.
No, this radical change was implemented while Congress slept..."

Brussels regulations UK leaves behind after EU referendum result

Brussels regulations UK leaves behind after EU referendum result | Daily Mail Online:
"Bonfire of the EU laws: From crooked cucumbers to powerful vacuum cleaners, the barmy Brussels regulations we can now get rid of
As the country reflects in the wake of the EU referendum, Leave voters are celebrating changing the course of history and breaking free from the shackles of the European Union - and its laws and regulations.
Despite the fact Britain has voted in favour of leaving the EU, this is still the start of a long process before the country officially untangles from the network of institutions in Brussels.
And among that network there were a number of bizarre - and some argued trivial - rules the Brussels bureaucracy passed.
Here are some of the more bizarre regulations the Brexiters can enjoy saying goodbye to.
1. Ban on curvy bananas and crooked cucumbers
2. Incandescent lightbulbs
4. Drinking water does not prevent dehydration
5. 'Diabetics' banned from driving..."

Texas woman sounds British after surgery
ROSENBERG, TX - Cheerio!
A mother of three has been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder which causes her to speak with a British accent.
Six months ago, jaw surgery to correct an overbite changed Lisa Alamia’s speech.
“They are always asking me how my mom got that accent,” Kylie Alamia said about her mom, Lisa.
Despite her accent, Alamia is 100% Texan.
“People who don’t know me, they’re like, 'Hey, where are you from?'" Alamia said.
“I’m from Rosenberg.
They’re like, 'Where is that?'
I’m like, 'Right here in Rosenberg.'
 'Oh, you’re from here?
How do you talk like that?'
So that’s where the whole story comes up.”
Alamia's oldest daughter, Kayla, said she thought her mother was joking around when she started speaking.
“But then she showed me that the doctor diagnosed her with foreign accent syndrome.
Then I was like, 'Oh, Lord.,” Kayla said..."

Clinton Failed to Hand Over Key Email to State Department — Here’s What We Know | TheBlaze.com

Clinton Failed to Hand Over Key Email to State Department — Here’s What We Know | TheBlaze.com:

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary Hillary Clinton failed to turn over a copy of a key message involving problems caused by her use of a private homebrew email server, the State Department confirmed Thursday. The disclosure makes it unclear what other work-related emails may have been deleted by the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee."

Emails Show Hillary Clinton's Email Server Was A Massive Security Headache, Set Up To Route Around FOIA Requests

from the breaking-badly dept

More bad news for Hillary Clinton and her ill-advised personal email server. Another set of emails released by the State Department shows the government agency had to disable several security processes just to get its server to accept email from Clinton's private email address.

The emails, reviewed by The Associated Press, show that State Department technical staff disabled software on their systems intended to block phishing emails that could deliver dangerous viruses. They were trying urgently to resolve delivery problems with emails sent from Clinton's private server.

"This should trump all other activities," a senior technical official, Ken LaVolpe, told IT employees in a Dec. 17, 2010, email. Another senior State Department official, Thomas W. Lawrence, wrote days later in an email that deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin personally was asking for an update about the repairs. Abedin and Clinton, who both used Clinton's private server, had complained that emails each sent to State Department employees were not being reliably received.

After technical staffers turned off some security features, Lawrence cautioned in an email, "We view this as a Band-Aid and fear it's not 100 percent fully effective."..

Ex-Calif. State Sen. Leland Yee, gun control champion, heading to prison for weapons trafficking

Ex-Calif. State Sen. Leland Yee, gun control champion, heading to prison for weapons trafficking - The Washington Post:
"On the surface, the story of Leland Yee looks like a precipitous fall from grace.
The 67-year-old had risen steadily in the ranks of Bay Area politics since the late 80s, when he was elected to the San Francisco School Board.
He then went on to sit on the city’s Board of Supervisors and in the state Assembly.
The latter role saw him become the first Asian American speaker pro tem in 2004, making him the second-highest ranking Democrat in the California assembly at the time.
From 2006 onwards, Yee served as a state senator and was plotting a secretary of state campaign when his political visions were curtailed by a federal indictment in March 2014.
The arrest swept Yee and his associate Keith Jackson, 51, up in charges alongside some of the city’s most notorious characters, notable among them Chinatown gangster Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow..."

Flashback Video Shows Exactly What Maggie Thatcher Thought About the EU

» Watch: Flashback Video Shows Exactly What Maggie Thatcher Thought About the EU
Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s Iron Lady, would be overwhelmed with joy if she could have lived to see her fellow Britons vote to leave the European Union. 
Thatcher rescued her country by reversing the encroachment of socialism into the U.K.’s economy and spent the latter days her career fighting against political and monetary unification of Europe.

“She was fiercely against monetary and economic union and the euro — and very opposed to political union. 

She felt Britain would be better off if it kept a distance from all of this,” Thatcher biographer Charles Moore said in a recentBrexit interview.

“During my lifetime most of the problems the world has faced have come, in one fashion or other, from mainland Europe, and the solutions from outside it,” the former prime minister once said.

Britain’s only female prime minister became famous for her rousing floor speeches, throttling her opponents with a sense of intellectual superiority and wit. 
In October of 1990, Thatcher gave such a speech to her fellow members of the House of Commons regarding the potential for increasing political ties to the rest of Europe.

“It is our purpose to the power and influence of this house and not to denude them to many of the powers,” she said.

“Of course the chairman of the commission said that he wanted the European Parliament to be the democratic body of the community, he wanted the commission to be the executive, and he wanted the council to be the ministers of the senate. No! No! No!”

“The fact is they have no competence on money, no competence on the economy, so yes, the right honorable gentleman would be glad to hand it all over,” she quipped at one of her Labour colleagues.  
“And what is the point in trying to get elected to parliament, only to hand over your sterling and to hand over the powers of this house to Europe?”

Watch below:

Today, Lady Thatcher would be quite proud.

Dinesh D'Souza's "Hillary's America" Gets Theatrical Rating and New (Controversial) Trailer | "Hillary's America"

Dinesh D'Souza's "Hillary's America" Gets Theatrical Rating and New (Controversial) Trailer | "Hillary's America":

"The film will premiere in Los Angeles on July 11, then in Cleveland on July 17, the day before the Republican convention opens there.

Dinesh D’Souza dropped his theatrical trailer for Hillary’s America online, and it could prove bad timing for the presidential candidate when it premieres soon on big screens at major exhibitors.

The trailer refers to Bill and Hillary Clinton as “depraved crooks,” and Democrats as “the party of corruption.” It conflates American “progressivism” with “communism,” and it features Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, uttering her now-famous Benghazi question: “What difference at this point does it make?”"

Senator Murphy: Not Fair To Judge Gun Control Based On Whether It Works

Senator Murphy: Not Fair To Judge Gun Control Based On Whether It Works - Breitbart
During the June 19 airing of ABC’s This Week, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) dodged questions regarding the impotency of his gun control proposal by suggesting it is not fair to judge gun control based on whether it works.

Murphy made the suggestion in an exchange with host Jon Karl, after Karl pointed out that Murphy’s push to expand background checks to gun shows had no relevance to the details of the Pulse Orlando attack. In fact, Karl said, “Your proposal would have done nothing in the case of Orlando, it would have done nothing to stop the killing in San Bernardino.” 

Karl added that Murphy’s push to expand background checks to gun shows would not have stopped the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary either. He then asked why Murphy was spending so much energy proposing legislation that has nothing to do with the “massacre” in Orlando?

According Newbusters.org, Murphy responded by saying:

So first of all, we can’t get into that trap. I disagree, I think if this proposal had been into effect it may have stopped the shooting. But we can’t get into the trap in which we are forced to defend our proposal simply because it didn’t stop the last tragedy.

In other words, Murphy is saying it is not fair to judge gun control based on whether it works.

British Lose Right to Claim That Americans Are Dumber

British Lose Right to Claim That Americans Are Dumber - The New Yorker:
"LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—Across the United Kingdom on Friday, Britons mourned their long-cherished right to claim that Americans were significantly dumber than they are.
Luxuriating in the superiority of their intellect over Americans’ has long been a favorite pastime in Britain, surpassing in popularity such games as cricket, darts, and snooker.
But, according to Alistair Dorrinson, a pub owner in North London, British voters have done irreparable damage to the “most enjoyable sport this nation has ever known: namely, treating Americans like idiots.”
“When our countrymen cast their votes yesterday, they didn’t realize they were destroying the most precious leisure activity this nation has ever known,” he said.
“Wankers.”
In the face of this startling display of national idiocy, Dorrinson still mustered some of the resilience for which the British people are known.
“This is a dark day,” he said. 
“But I hold out hope that, come November, Americans could become dumber than us once more.”"

Or at least that was the wildly-inaccurate version of 2015 predicted by ABC News exactly seven years ago. 
Appearing on Good Morning America in 2008, Bob Woodruff hyped Earth 2100, a special that pushed apocalyptic predictions of the then-futuristic 2015. 
The segment included supposedly prophetic videos, such as a teenager declaring, “It’s June 8th, 2015.
One carton of milk is $12.99.” 
(On the actual June 8, 2015, a gallon of milk cost, on average, $3.39.) 
Another clip featured this prediction for the current year: “Gas reached over $9 a gallon.”...
