WSJ: On SCOTUS, Trump Has ‘Superior Grasp’ On Constitution, While Clinton's Views Threaten Liberty - Matt Vespa:
"For starters, The Journal ripped into Clinton’s notion that the Supreme Court should represent us, especially in its composition. That’s wrong. That’s what the legislative branch is for. Second, they aptly noted how Clinton supports abortion on demand and without exception, which is an extreme position. "

'Have You Changed the Password on Your Smart Fridge Lately?'
'Have You Changed the Password on Your Smart Fridge Lately?' | PJ Media:
""That's a question asked by Popular Mechanics writer Eric Limer who wrote an article explaining the massive internet outage on the East Coast on Friday and why the attack may be only the beginning.
The Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS) used thousands upon thousands of computers and other internet connected devices to attack the internet performance company Dyn.
...The DDoS attack floods that server with illegitimate requests, so many that very few real requests can get through.
The user gets a message that the server is not available.
Service is intermittent because a few requests are sometimes still able to go through.
As Limer explains, this was the largest DDos attack in history - almost 3 times the size of any previous incident.
What made it possible was the posting of the source code for a botnet known as "Mirai" that allows relatively easy access to all the "smart" devices in our homes; DVR's, smart refrigerators and thermostats among many.
Hence, his wry observation, "Have you changed the password on your smart fridge lately? I thought not."
That piece of malware coupled with the targeting of Dyn, led to a day of chaos on the East Coast internet:
The Mirai code focuses on all kinds of smart devices including cameras to internet-connected fridges, but its bread and butter is DVRs.
Of the nearly 500,000 devices known to be compromised by the Mirai malware, some 80 percent of them are DVRs, according to an in-depth investigation of by Level 3 communications.
...The most terrifying part:
This is probably only the beginning.
The obvious question:
Was this some sort of dry run for an attack on the internet on election day?
Since a DDoS attack does not require penetration of computers, the resulting internet outages would be inconvenient but manageable.
No doubt the psychological impact of such an attack would be far greater than any damage caused by it..."

What You Need to Know About the National Debt, in 2 Charts
What You Need to Know About the National Debt, in 2 Charts
The fact that the national debt jumped by $1.4 trillion in one short year should spur Congress to put an end to this excess.
The debt hit a record-breaking high of $19.6 trillion at the close of the federal government’s 2016 fiscal year on Sept. 30.
It had totaled $18.1 trillion at the end of the previous fiscal year.
The gross national debt includes intragovernmental debt, or debt the federal government owes to itself—for example, to the Social Security trust fund—in addition to debt held by the public.
Federal debt held by the public, or money the government borrowed in financial markets, rose from $13.1 trillion to $14.1 trillion over fiscal 2016.
That’s an increase of $1 trillion.
Federal debt held by the public now exceeds 75 percent of what the economy produced, as measured by gross domestic product.
To put this into perspective, debt owned by the public surpassed 70 percent of GDP during only one other time in American history—from 1944 to 1950, due to the large expenditures for World War II.
The debt not only has skyrocketed but is projected to increase as budget deficits rise due to excessive spending. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—three programs affected by the aging and retirement of the baby boomers—are especially key.
These three programs, along with interest on the debt and Obamacare, are projected to make up 83 percent of increased spending over the next decade.
To seriously control spending and debt, Congress must alter the authorizing statutes of the programs.
Growing spending fuels the growth in debt.
The Congressional Budget Office projects that the debt will rise to 86 percent of GDP by 2026, to 106 percent by 2035, and to 141 percent by 2046.
America continues on this path of unsustainable debt, we likely will face negative consequences such as higher interest costs, slower economic growth, and a greater chance of a fiscal crisis.
According to the CBO, “a large amount of federal debt will reduce the nation’s output and income below what would occur if the debt was smaller....” Read on!

Why Trump must win!-----It’s official: Venezuela is a full-blown dictatorship
Unbiased America:
"(K.R.) Well, it's pretty much game-over for democracy in Venezuela this week. Opposition parties had collected enough support to force a referendum to recall unpopular authoritarian president Nicolás Maduro, Hugo Chavez's successor since the socialist president died in 2013. The recall was widely expected to succeed, and opposition parties were also expected to take most of Venezuela’s governorships and mayoral seats in elections later this year, ending Venezuela's disastrous 14 year socialist nightmare.
Instead, courts, having been packed with Chavistas, this week unexpectedly postponed elections until next year and outright cancelled the referendum, claiming it was fraudulent. The move all but ensures that Maduro will finish out his term through 2019, and likely refuse to cede power at that time.
It appears yet another country has succumbed to socialism's historically dependable incitement of dictatorship.

Will Trump File Felony Mob Action Charges Against Clinton & The DNC? | The Daily Caller:
"The RNC and Donald Trump’s campaign must file criminal charges against the DNC, Democracy Partners, Mobilize, and Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Anyone who was beaten at a Donald Trump rally now can file criminal and civil claims against Hillary Clinton and her campaign.
Trump’s Chicago rally had to be cancelled due to the extreme violence by Chicago operatives for Hillary Clinton. Criminal charges should be and must be filed."

So the DNC replaces Debbie Wasserman Schultz with CNN hack Donna Brazile.
So just who is this hack Donna Brazile aside from being a racist, Hillary Clinton mouthpiece on CNN and ABC?
Donna Brazile worked for the 1988 Michael Dukakis and was forced to resign after she spread lies about George H.W. Bush.
In fact, it got so bad in 1988 that not only was Brazile fired, Dukakis himself was forced to publicly apologize to Bush for Donna Brazile’s lies.
Remember when Donna Brazile had to leave Dukakis campaign for lies?
This was the October surprise in 1988 that Democrats didn’t want.

But it revealed who Donna Brazile really is.
She’s since made millions of dollars from liberal networks to bash Republicans and play the race card for decades. She’s the perfect choice for the DNC.

Obama Blames ‘Far-Right Media’ for ‘Pumping Out All Kinds of Crazy Toxic Stuff’ - Breitbart
Obama Blames ‘Far-Right Media’ for ‘Pumping Out All Kinds of Crazy Toxic Stuff’ - Breitbart:
"Obama employed a straw man attack against conservative media, accusing them of starting “the whole birther thing” and calling climate change a “Chinese hoax.”
“According to them, I’m powerful enough to cause these hurricanes, and I’m about to steal everybody’s guns in the middle of the night and declare martial law, but somehow I still need a teleprompter to finish a sentence,” he said incredulously."

WIKILEAKS BOMBSHELL: Yet Another Bill Clinton Mistress, Dubbed ‘Energizer Bunny’…
WIKILEAKS BOMBSHELL: Yet Another Bill Clinton Mistress, Dubbed ‘Energizer Bunny’…
"It’s clear Bill Clinton doesn’t want his wife to win.
Hell, can you blame him?
Hearing stories about a mistress called the ‘Energizer Bunny’ might just explain why.
From the folks at Heat Street…
The Clintons’ inner circle was roiled by the forthcoming release of the book “The First Family In Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal The Hidden Lives Of Presidents” by Clinton antagonist Edward Klein.
The book alleged that Bill Clinton had a “blonde, buxom mistress” named Julie McMahon.
The Secret Service reportedly nicknamed “The Energizer Bunny.”
McMahon was a neighbor of the Clintons in their adopted town of Chappaqua in New York’s exclusive Westchester County.
Hillary’s close confidant Cheryl Mills sent a Daily Mail article about the book to Hillary campaign chair and former Bill chief of staff John Podesta.
Team Clinton immediately scheduled an evening conference call for 6:30 pm that night to discuss “the Energizer Bunny.”
To recap:
Bill Clinton already has a reputation for being a man-whore (SYNONYM: whore) and embarrassing his wife.
His wife already has a reputation for being okay with Bill having sex with other women, as long as she can be President.
Bill Clinton views this as a challenge and has sex with their neighbor. *insert “rising to the occasion” joke here*
Clearly, the Clinton campaign knew there to be at least some truth to this.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t repeatedly call emergency meetings over something blatantly fake.
This could be America for the next four years.
But don’t say we didn’t try to warn you…"

Appalachian State U. goes 'genderless' at homecoming - no more king and queen
Appalachian State U. goes 'genderless' at homecoming - no more king and queen - The College Fix
"Yesterday’s homecoming at Appalachian State University did not feature the usual king and queen but rather a “Homecoming Royalty” … in an effort to be more “gender inclusive.”
"Yesterday’s homecoming at Appalachian State University did not feature the usual king and queen but rather a “Homecoming Royalty” … in an effort to be more “gender inclusive.”
The college is merely following a trend.
Earlier this month the University of Wisconsin-Stout did away with its homecoming king and queen, breaking a nearly 80-year-old tradition.
Last year, U. Wisconsin-Eau Claire abolished the “gender-binary” concept, as did San Diego State.
Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland went to a “Homecoming Royalty” concept because a king and queen was deemed “exclusionary” to its “gender-neutral and transgender population.”Instead of a set number of men and women on the court, there are now nine students selected to be a part of the new Homecoming Royalty court. Voting is happening until Thursday at 5pm, and whoever receives the most votes will be crowned ‘Top of the Rock’ […]Appalachian State’s mission statement set a goal to ‘promote a spirit of inclusion that inspires students, faculty and staff to form relationships extending well beyond graduation.’ The change to the Homecoming Court was created based off of this idea of inclusion.“In celebration of the university’s commitment to inclusion, we will be selecting nine individuals who represent the best of the best that Appalachian State has to offer. Our pool of candidates will focus on who brings the most to our campus,” App State’s Homecoming website said.
But students aren’t very happy about it."

"Top personal aide Huma Abedin was trying to set up a call with someone identified as Kouchner — seemingly Bernard Kouchner, the top French diplomat at the time — but Mrs. Clinton’s OK for the call didn’t get to Ms. Abedin in time.
“You are having email delays,” Ms. Abedin told her boss, sparking a back-and-forth over the system Mrs. Clinton had set up.
“We should talk about putting you on state email or releasing your email address to the department so you are not going to spam,” Ms. Abedin said in the Nov. 13, 2010, exchange."

Obama State Department is pouring refugees in at rate to admit 135,000 by September 2017
Obama State Department is pouring refugees in at rate to admit 135,000 by September 2017 « Refugee Resettlement Watch:
"Just as we predicted, Obama’s State Department is admitting refugees at a rate not seen in decades. Are they trying to flood the zone before a possible Trump Administration takes the reins of government in January?
We think so!
...I thought I would check the general flow for all refugees being admitted in the first three weeks of Fiscal Year 2017.
Obama has proposed a refugee admission plan for 110,000 refugees to be placed in your towns by September 30, 2017.
However, at the rate they are coming in, 135,000 could be here by that date.
(Most of Obama’s plans for previous years averaged much less than 70,000 a year***.)
Minnesota is the top resettlement state for Somalis.
It is also the top secondary migration state as Somalis resettled elsewhere head there in large numbers.
...What I want to point out here are the Muslim refugees (3,517 in the first three weeks) and all of the different countries they come from.
While we focus on the Syrians and the problems with vetting, make no mistake, they can’t properly vet any of these Muslims who we have picked up all over the world.
...The most shocking number below is for Somalis in the first 3 weeks.
We are bringing them in at a rate NEVER seen.
At this rate (335 a week) we could bring in over 17,000 by the end of the fiscal year..."

Migrant foster mum's horror after '12-year-old refugee' revealed to be 21-year-old Jihadi
Migrant foster mum's horror after '12-year-old refugee' revealed to be 21-year-old Jihadi
A FOSTER mum who took in a child refugee has told of her horror after discovering he was a 21-year-old jihadi.
Kind-hearted Rosie welcomed Jamal into her family after social workers said he was a 12-year-old orphan who had fled Afghanistan.
But she became suspicious when she noticed how hairy he was, and how adept he was at firing a rifle.
Jamal was rumbled when a dentist estimated he was a decade older than claimed.
Taliban material and child abuse images were later found on his mobile.
The blunder comes after migrants claiming to be children were bussed to the UK from Calais’ Jungle camp.
It is feared terrorists could use the same ruse.
Rosie, whose full name we are hiding to protect her from reprisals, said: “Adults are playing the system. It’s putting families like mine and society as a whole at risk.
On a bus to college he was told to get off by a driver who didn’t believe he was 16. Rosie, who lives in the South East, said: “It’s ridiculous how everybody else could see it but not the social workers.”
Jamal’s behaviour worsened.
He put the 13-year-old in expert holds, demanded cash and got calls from unknown numbers.
...His last words to Rosie were: “I’ll kill you and I know where your children are.”
She added: “I can’t say he was a terrorist but I do think he came from a training camp.
He was a great actor.
“Every day I check the car, and that all the house windows are shut.
I panic because I know he knows our routine.”
Since being arrested for an alleged assault, Jamal has been turned down for asylum but is appealing.
MP David Davies, who is demanding stronger checks, said: “If we don’t do this then we will see men in their 20s placed with vulnerable children in foster care and in classrooms.”

Wikileaks confirms damning Veritas videos. Ted Cruz demands criminal investigation:
"In the organization’s first video, paid activist Zulema Rodriguez describes a particularly notable 1 p.m. phone call with the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Rodriguez claims to be one of the rioters present during the violent confrontations in Chicago in March that led to the cancellation of a Trump rally. As the Project Veritas video reveals, some of the agitators were paid to do so by Democratic operatives, and their operations were coordinated on said phone call."

For those of us who are outside the Republican and Demcoratic parties, there's a different cast to the rigging when it comes to politics. As Nicholas Sarwark, the national chair of the Libertarian Party, told me in a recent interview, crazy and ever-changing ballot-access requirements are explicit hurdles to full participation in elections by diverse political groups. The one thing Dems and Reps can always agree on is that there's no goddamn reason to let more voices on the stage. And as HBO's John Oliver demonstrates, third-party candidates don't get taken seriously by the media even when they have more experience and credibility than major-party candidates. In The Declaration of Independents, Matt Welch and I talked about all the ways in which the political duopoly works to delegitimate and silence new and different perspectives...
