The Clinton Foundation Boondoggle

This is a real eye opener and this is the reason the DEMS want to be in power again.

 

The Clinton Foundation Boondoggle. Have you wondered why the Clinton Foundation folded so suddenly after Hillary was no longer in a position of influence? Perhaps this summary will provide some insight??

 

They list 486 employees (line 5)! It took 486 people who are paid $34.8 million and $91.3 million in fees and expenses, to give away $5.1 MILLION.

 

This is real. You can check the return yourself. The real heart of the Clintons can be seen here. Staggering but not surprising. These figures are from an official copy of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation for the tax year 2014. The copy of the tax return is from the National Center for Charitable Statistics web site. You can obtain the latest tax return on any charitable organization there.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Clinton Foundation:

Number of Employees (line 5) 486

Total revenue (line 12) $177,804,612.00

Total grants to charity (line 13) $5,160,385.00 (this is less than 3%)

Total expenses of $91,281,145.00

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Expenses include:

Salaries (line 15) $34,838,106.00

Fund raising fees (line 16a) $850,803.00

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other expenses (line 17) $50,431,851.00 HUH??????

Travel $8,000,000.00

Meetings $12,000,000.00

Net assets/fund balances (line 22) $332,471,349.00

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So it required 486 people, who were paid $34.8 million, plus $91.3 million in fees and expenses, to give away $5.1 MILLION! And they call this a CHARITY?

 

This is one of the greatest white-collar crimes ever committed. And just think---one of the participants was a former president and one (gasp!) wanted to be elected president of the United States. If justice was truly served they would both be in prison.

Trump May Be the Man of Our Time

The following article titled "Trump May Be the Man of Our Time", by Carol Person, published in The American by Richard Simms, does an excellent job of telling it like it is today when it comes to the politics which have been exercised on our nation over the past 30 years.

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent

#NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not

bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum.  They

ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity

of the office.”

Here’s my answer: We right-thinking people have

tried dignity.  There could not have been a man of

more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he

suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated

hatreds that undermined his presidency.   

We tried statesmanship.  Could there be another

human being on this earth who so desperately prized

“collegiality” as John McCain? 

We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human

being ever than Mitt Romney?

And the results were always the same.  This is

because, while we were playing by the rules of

dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been,

for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where

the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the

Chicago mob. 

I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper”

about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down

on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial

hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic

Party.  I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about

the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and

imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your

tracks.  I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in

weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your

political opponents and any dissent.  Yes, Obama

was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he

in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper”. 

The Left has been engaged in a war against America

since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s.  To them, it

has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred

and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.  It has been

a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of

violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the

violent take-over of the universities – till today.  The

problem is that, through these years, the Left has

been the only side fighting this war.  While the Left

has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their

way, the Right has continued to act with dignity,

collegiality and propriety.  With Donald Trump, this all

has come to an end. Donald Trump is America’s first

wartime president in the Culture War. 

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality”

simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks

for in their warriors.  Ulysses Grant was a drunk

whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen

him drummed out of the Army for unbecoming

conduct.  Had Abraham Lincoln applied the

peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the

Democrats might well still be holding their slaves

today.  Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare

this man.  He fights.”  

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking, son-of-

a-bitch.  In peacetime, this might have seen him

stripped of rank.  But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied

the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the

Socialists would be seven decades into their

thousand-year Reich. 

Trump is fighting.  And what’s particularly delicious is

that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his

tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You

magnificent bastards, I read your book!” 

That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to

see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the

Left using their own tactics.  That book is Saul

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to

the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was

the playbook for the entire Obama administration and

the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis.  It is a

book of such pure evil that, just as the rest of us

would dedicate our book to those we most love or

those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky

dedicated his book to Lucifer. 

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered

but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky

suggested his followers do.  First, instead of going

after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that

they have literally gotten every single significant story

of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically

opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to

Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of

Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.  He

made it personal. 

Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule

which Alinsky described as “the most powerful

weapon of all.”  Most importantly, Trump’s tweets

have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable

position.  They need to respond.  This leaves them

with only two choices.  They can either “go high” (as

Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and

the fake news would disingenuously report as the

truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the

news or they can double-down on their usual tactics

and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual

hysteria and demagoguery.  The problem for CNN (et

al.) with the former is that, if they were to start

honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of

the Democratic Party they serve. 

It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read:

propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.  Imagine, for

example, if CNN had honestly and accurately

reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to

foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists

(William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true

evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s

church.  Imagine if they had honestly and accurately

conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s

weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their

political opponents or his running of guns to the

Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of

Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama

administration’s cover-up. 

So, to my friends on the Left — and the

#NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a

time when our president could be “collegial” and

“dignified” and “proper”?  Of course I do.  These

aren’t those times.  This is war.  And it’s a war that

the Left has been fighting without opposition for the

past 50 years.  So, say anything you want about this

president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be

crude, he can be undignified at times.  I don’t care.  I

can’t spare this man.  He fights for America! 

A Look Back

With slightly over a year having passed since Donald Trump won the presidency, it's most interesting to look back at coverage of election night at CBS. (Especially since one of the panel moderators is an individual who's been fired for sexual harassment misconduct.)

I post this link in case you either wish to remind yourself of just how things went down that night, or, if you never saw this particular coverage and want to understand just how deep the political bias was - as well as the incredibly strong expectation that Hillary would win - against Trump by the political pundits was that night. It's very funny what's said, and the look from Bob Shiefer next to her when it's said, by one of the panel at the seven minute mark as well. Then, Peggy Noonan's remarks immediately following this is spot on!

Now, with all that's transpired and been revealed about how the "fake news" claims by the Dems in an attempt to bring on a "silent coup" - as Rush has put it - it's very informative, to say the least.

Significance of Tax Bill's Passage

Michael Needham, C.E.O. of the Heritage Action for America organization, said it best when speaking about the impact and significance of the tax bill just passed in Congress this week:

The 2016 election provided a once in a generation opportunity for tax reform. And thanks to your efforts, the Republican-controlled Congress has delivered a huge accomplishment for the conservative movement and America as a whole.

Thirteen months ago, the American people spoke with a firm and resounding message -- they demanded sweeping tax reform and lower taxes for everyone!

And this time -- Congress listened. Republicans in Congress passed a bill that will help middle class families keep more dollars in their pockets, small business will get the chance to grow and thrive, and large business are now able to bring jobs back to America and increase the wages of workers.

In the new year, Americans will see more money in their paychecks, and the nation will experience even more economic growth.

This is an incredible first step and a huge victory! Of course, President Trump must still add his signature to the final bill to turn it into law; but after that, we will need to continue pushing Congress to make additional tax reforms and make sweeping reforms to health care, spending, immigration, education and many more issues.

There is a lot of work to do, but today’s victory -- decades in the making -- would not have been possible without the echoing boom of conservative Americans. Thank you for all you do and will continue to do.

Thanks,

Michael A. Needham

Brittany Hughes of MRCTV makes some great points in this video about the difference in views regarding the tax cuts coming as a result of this bill's passage. Ami Horowitz also interviewed several people in the East Village of New York about the tax plan, and this is what he found.

Update!!! Candice Owens also has a great video I just learned about explaining the tax cuts. Don't miss it!

The Three Contractors

Three Contractors bid on repair to the White House fence.

 

One is from Chicago, another is from Kentucky, and the third is from New Orleans.

 

All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.

The New Orleans contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.

 

"Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $9,000. That's $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."

 

The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000.

 

That's $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."

 

The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$27,000."

 

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?

 

"The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Kentucky to fix the fence."

 

"Done!" replies the government official.

 

And that, my friends, is how  Obama's and the Democrat's Stimulus plan worked back in 2009!

What's Really Going On In Europe Today?

Very few are telling the American public what's actually happening in the U.K., France, Sweden and Germany, but Katie Hopkins - a DailyMail.com journalist - who's seen it happening first hand in England, tells us what it's like currently and admonishes us to not let it happen here.

Watch and be entertained, while at the same time extremely concerned.

Perspective From The Past

With all the buzz today in the media about Trump it's critical that we take a step back and look at the man through the lens of time.

In 1980 Trump was interviewed by Ronna Barrett, but this piece was never aired.

In 1985 60 Minutes did this piece on Trump as the up and coming real estate developer in N.Y.

Both reveal a Trump that most alive today do not know. Most likely they wouldn't believe was true, either. However, the track record of this man reveals some very interesting points which the media extension of the DNC today certainly do not want the public to be aware of.

Social Security Insecurity

Our federal government has, roughly over the last 100 years, passed and implemented several programs which has sent this nation on a course fiscal suicide - you know, inability to pay what it's promised. While the nation debt is one of them, there is another program that's younger and more rapidly headed for trouble.

Sadly, the Social Security program has experienced a huge shift over its existence. What do you think that shift is? And, more importantly, why do you think this program has made such a massive shift over its life? Watch this latest Prager U video on the topic and see if you can spot what that shift is. The reason behind why the shift has been so massive resides within the last few presidential administration's policies; or rather lack of enforcing a Constitutional one.

Lord Acton Was Right!

Lord Acton is famous for his statement, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Depending on your source of the day's news you may be aware of what's been developing in the "swamp" regarding the whole recent presidential campaign and first year of Pres. Trump's administration and the investigation into the supposed Trump/Russian Collusion. After an entire year of investigation nothing - not one bit of irrefutable evidence - has surfaced to give the collusion narrative an ounce of credibility. Anyone who claims that Mannifort's or Flynn's indictments were proof of it are sadly uninformed as to the facts regarding the reasons for why they've made the news.

Now that it's obvious that there is nothing to be brought against Pres. Trump, the liberal leftists in the mainstream media have switched their focus to claims of either obstruction of justice or the president's sanity. With the new revelations from a pair of reporters - John Solomon of The Hill and Sarah Carter of Circa News - exposing the incredibly one sided (anti-Trump bias) circumstances of the Muller investigation team members being Clinton donors and advocates, Rosentein, Strzok, Weissman, Bruce Orr, Jeannie Rhee, the Podesta brothers, et al, (a very coordinated group of DNC operatives and lawyers who previously worked for the Clinton Foundation and Obama's national security aide Ben Rhodes) it's becoming apparent that the Obama Administration used its remaining days to set up a stable of bureaucrats prepared to do their best to sabotage the Trump Campaign and, after their shock at losing the election, went into a "Resist" mode to attempt a "silent coup" to get Trump ousted from the Oval Office with the collusion of the mainstream media at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC.

As facts come forth on a daily basis exposing the blatant "fix" by former FBI Director James Comey to exonerate S.O.S. Hillary Clinton during the summer of the presidential campaign even before he had her interviewed in the investigation, and who it was that actually edited the words "gross negligence" to "extremely careless", it's becoming obvious to House investigative committee members that the rule of law has been ignored and a Constitutional crisis is being discovered. The pantheon of federal agencies from the Obama Administration have a multitude of remaining Obama/Clinton devotees (Why Trump didn't purge them from D.C. I'll never understand.) who are being exposed as having arranged for letting Hillary Clinton off the hook by not being sworn in during her interview with the F.B.I., but no audio or video record was made of that interview for future reference regarding her email server scandal. Yet, Gen. Flynn's interview by Muller's investigators were careful to record his testimony on his work as a liaison with a Russian diplomat, then use it against him later to implicate him on lying to the F.B.I. for an indictment. Clearly a politically expedient double-standard!

Bureaucrats in some agencies are deliberately ignoring requests from Congressional committees to produce documents for investigations, or to provide their Trump appointed director of a particular agency to provide information to them for the purpose of acquiring sufficient information in order to do their job as director; simply because they're so convinced that Hillary should have won they won't believe or accept Trump as President.

In my view, this is clear evidence that the former president implemented measures within his second presidential term to move our governmental organization as far away from its adherence to the rule of law and remove justice's blindfold so that his personal philosophy of social justice and identity politics could advance further under a Pres. Clinton administration. Whether our system of checks and balances, laws and powers within the wide array of administrative departments can weather this political crisis will be the biggest test our nation's form of governance has ever encountered.

Is Fascism Right or Left?

A favorite leftist smear—employed for decades now—is the claim that everyone on the right is a “fascist.” So the question must be asked: What is fascism? Where does the term come from? What is its underlying ideology? In this week’s video, Dinesh D’Souza, best-selling author of The Big Lie, introduces us to Giovanni Gentile, the philosopher of fascism, whose writings make clear that fascism is a movement not of the political right, but of the left—which seeks to foist it off onto the right in an attempt to distance itself from its ugly history.
