The NY Post writes that the “extreme vetting” that Donald J. Trump called for in his speech on fighting terrorism has been adopted at times of need here in the United States.   You can read the full text of his speech here.

Investor’s Business Daily is hoping that Preet Bharara will find the truth regarding the Clinton Foundation’s scams…we only hope that Preet Bharara will find the backbone to go after the Foundation’s scams and not fold like a cheap suit the way James Comey did after investigating Hillary’s email scam.

Rest assured, if Hillary becomes president, this will continue and most likely be expanded.

This week the media’s double standard for Donald Trump was revved up to seemingly new heights – from practically ignoring Hillary Clinton’s repulsive supporters (Trump is held accountable for any nut job who claims to support him) to deliberately taking Trump’s words out of context. 

 Increasingly the “mainstream” media is a mere parody of itself.

I’ve made this the subject of our new Weekly Poll: How much of a double-standard do you see in the media’s coverage of Hillary Clinton compared to Donald Trump? What do you see as the media’s worst tactic when it comes to vilifying Donald Trump? And which media outlet do you believe is the WORST when it comes to unfair coverage of Donald Trump?

I look forward to seeing what people have to say.

More Clinton hypocrisy: Hillary’s not always opposed to walls to protect important land – when it comes to keeping outsiders away from her personal property, no wall is too big. 
 
Of course, a hefty donation to the Clinton Foundation would likely allow almost anyone to gain access to the Clinton Estate.

It’s another disgraceful move by the Obama Department of Justice: Hillary Clinton once again gets a pass on her blatant corruption (this time it’s her pay-to-play abuse of the State Department and the Clinton Foundation – it’s hard to keep track of all the scandals, I know). 

The FBI wanted an investigation. Obama’s political team – I mean, the DOJ said no.

Investor’s Business Daily shares the 44 new Clinton lies uncovered this week – that’s the number of Clinton emails unearthed from an account Hillary said she wasn’t using.

Another day, another scandal – there seems to be no limit to Clinton corruption. 

Have a great weekend!

Did the FBI cave again because the Department of Justice did not want the Clinton Foundation investigated? Here is more on the new allegations.  And here is the CNN Report that sheds more light on the pay-to-play Hillary and Bill love so much.  Even the Washington Post is reporting on the Clinton’s favorite past time.

When will people learn that what government gives you it can also take away.  The democrats, and only democrats voted for Obamacare and while they do not want to take it away from you, Obamacare is collapsing and cannot continue.   Then there are times when government promises revenue to balance their budgets and it just never materializes.   Will Buffalo’s huge Solar City enterprise fall to the same fate?  While we are on the topic of government doing what it wants to do, the National Center for Public Policy Research has a legitimate question about the 1964 Civil Rights Act.   Here is another example of government out of control.  And let’s not forget what the IRS is capable of doing to innocent citizens.

Andrew Cuomo: Comptroller’s Audits Only Count When I Say They Do…Seriously, Governor?  A little full of yourself with that statement. 

Thursday’s comic relief with Gipperten.com

File this articles under:  Cuomo trying to reset (with the Clinton’s)  after DNC Convention.   Gov. Cuomo blames Legislature after Hillary Clinton comes under fire for unfulfilled promise to add 200,000 upstate New York jobs when she was senator. 

The above article shows Governor Cuomo trying to make amends with democrats after being panned for his DNC speech.  Then he blasts his fellow democrats in this article.  Ummm, Governor, Buffalo was not the only area to “hemorrhage jobs”, the rest of the state is still hemorrhaging jobs.  

Governor Cuomo — and Mayor de Blasio —  should be more concerned about this!  By the way, Mr. Mayor, this is not how you increase city funds.

How silly of us for thinking Hillary can’t create jobs.   Here is how she creates jobs…of course, a pay-to-play job comes with a prerequisite and a pungent stench.  Here is how The Hill plays the information.

Hillary avoids pertinent press questions again…one would think with all the good press she gets from them she would be more willing to talk to them.

There she goes again, Hillary just cannot help herself from exaggerating what she will do if elected.  She promised New Yorker’s 200,00 jobs as Senator and failed; now the promise is 640,000 for New Yorker’s.  Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. 

Hillary is being sued…for wrongful death and defamation. 

Have you seen this photo?  Breitbart has more on the Orlando Rally here.  The NY Post wants to know why he was invited…but true to form Hillary and her camp deny his being invited.  It is worth reading the editorial.

If you like your health care plan you can keep it, the Benghazi attacks were inspired by a YouTube video… and now, the U.S. did NOT pay a $400 million ransom to Iran for the release of U.S. hostages. 

It’s the latest lie from the Obama Administration – about something that endangers Americans everywhere.

Not a ransom? Even Obama’s IRS wouldn’t believe a whopper like that.

As Mike Pence says, the whole world knows the handout to Iran was a ransom payment – if it wasn’t, why keep it a secret? 

And now we learn how Iran spent its ransom windfall.

I’ve made this Iran payoff the theme of our new Weekly Poll: How would you describe President Obama’s “not-a-ransom” claim? What do you think will be the most damaging result of this payoff?  Do you believe this is the worst lie President Obama has told? (As you know, there’s plenty of competition.) 

Vote today – the answers on this topic should be very interesting. 

Just as the ransom payment to Iran isn’t really a ransom payment, this payoff to the Clinton Foundation by a group that pushes Sharia Law isn’t really outrageous.  

This week we learned specifically how much damage Hillary will do to our economy – “Hillarynomics” will increase the deficit by $2.2 trillion and spend three times the revenues coming in – and by the way, America will be bankrupt. 

No wonder Hillary is (accidentally?) saying that she will raise taxes on the middle class.

We can’t afford any more “big ideas” from the left – Obamacare’s failure is proof of that.

Finally, here in New York, our friend John Faso is doing his best to run a principled, responsible campaign in the midst of left-wing extremism.

Have a great weekend!

Jonathan S. Tobin opines on just how deceitful and harmful the Obama Administration was during the Iran Nuclear Agreement talks.  This is a must read article due to the long term consequences and the weakened position we will be in if Hillary becomes president.  Read the he Daily Signal’s take on the hostage deal and National Review’s, both are straightforward and necessary to fully understand the harm the Obama Administration has created.

Sen. Schumer is out of control with his and Sen. Reid’s demand for the names of donors to 22 national or state think tanks because they may dare to disagree with them on climate change.  Sen. Schumer will live in AMERICA and we do not have to agree with what you dictate!  New Yorker’s must speak up in November; Chuckie has been in the Senate way too long.  While Lord Acton said “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” he also said, “Authority that does not exist for Liberty is not authority but force.”  Senators Reid and Schumer are exercising the use of force to admonish those who present strong arguments for the other side.  Time for Chuckie to join Harry in retirement.

Help me understand this — President Obama who airlifted $400 million to Iran in January as 4 Americans were being released by Theran and claims it wasn’t ransom — is calling Donald J. Trump “unfit to be President” while holding a news conference with the Prime Minister of Singapore.  President Obama consistently praises Hillary despite the fact that the FBI Director detailed a long list of Clinton’s violations but declined to prosecute the case. 

Mr. President, your remarks are purely political and made to help elect a woman who is unfit to be president just to protect your legacy. 

Need more proof that Hillary is unfit to be president.  Watch this clip with Joe Connor on Fox and Friends this morning. 

Of course, there are still things we do not know about Hillary’s term as Secretary of State.

This is a terrifying thought. 

Expect more of this if Hillary were to become president.

Today we have more followup on getting the rest of the story.  Who is Khizr Khan?  Of course he is a grieving father — the loss of a child leaves a wound so deep that time cannot heal it — but is he also a man with an agenda helping immigrants to buy their way into the United States?  Is he using the freedoms granted us in our US Constitution to promote his belief that “to Muslims, the Quran being the very word of God, it is the absolute authority from which springs the very conception of legality and every legal obligation.”  Donald J. Trump made a grave error in what he said, but knowing more helps us understand that Mr. Khan’s attack on Mr. Trump was more politically motivated than this grieving father wants you to know.  Captain Humayun Khan gave his life in the service of his country and let us not forget his sacrifice…may he rest in peace with all of our gratitude for helping to keep freedom and our way of life strong.  Gov. Mike Pence responds.

Just a quick reminder on how important it is to go beyond the headlines.  Paul Harvey used to remind us of the “rest of the story” and for your information here is the rest of the story on what Donald Trump said to the parents of hero Captain Humayun Khan.  The media and those who want to see Donald Trump destroyed are all to quick to react to partial statements.

Likewise, few will report on the glaring lies Hillary said on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.  While Wallace did his best…Hillary was in full spin mode. Listen and watch the cunning use of words as she answers Chris Wallace.   “I don’t hold any ill feeling for someone who in that moment may not fully recall everything that was or wasn’t said.”  Seriously?  Patricia Smith should be grateful you don’t hold any “Ill feeling.”  Then ask yourself what it would be like if she became number 45?  Remember what FBI Director James Comey said to Congressman Trey Gowdy. Always get the rest of the story and know who you are voting for.  You know Hillary’s interview with Chris Wallace was pure fantasy spin when even the fact checker at the Washington Post gives it 4 “Pinocchios.”
