{theblacksphere.net} ~ This witch now running for president on five documented occasions exposed Ambassador Stevens’ locations. The cache of liar-Clinton emails are as follows:...
IRS Still Targeting the Tea Party
The Texas Patriots Tea Party (TPTP) has called out the IRS for continuing its practice of targeting conservative groups. In a move which Edward Greim, the lawyer representing the TPTP, called "unprecedented," the IRS publicly released tax filing information on the TPTP. Greim has challenged that this move by the IRS may have violated section 6103 of the tax code, which prohibits the sharing of information from taxpayers' returns. (Memo to The New York Times re: Trump's returns.) However, some tax experts say that the IRS may be on safe ground, since the filing was made part of a court case. The IRS also sent a new round of probing questions that it's requiring the TPTP to fully complete within 30 days or be in danger of having the application derailed. The TPTP applied for tax-exemption 41 months ago.
What is becoming more apparent is the fact that the IRS is committed to continue its practice of delaying the processing of conservative groups' applications. And why would anyone expect the IRS to change its ways, since no one at the IRS was held accountable for its illegal targeting of conservative groups? Unless those who did such things at the IRS face consequences, we can expect little change. Remorseless apologies without discipline and real change amount to nothing more than political pandering and obfuscating. ~The Patriot Post

Black History Museum Ignores Clarence Thomas
Washington, DC, was abuzz with the opening of the new National Museum of African American History and Culture in September. Both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack nObama attended the opening, and Bush was a keynote speaker due to his instrumental role in getting the museum started. The media fawned over the hug Michelle nObama gave to Bush — the "embrace seen around the world," as The New York Times called it. But the bipartisanship appears to have been a phony veneer.
There's a glaring and outrageous omission from the museum's displays: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. To add insult to injury, an exhibit on blacks in the 1990s includes prominent placement for Anita Hill, who accused Thomas of sexual harassment and was a key pawn in Democrats' shameful "high-tech lynching" of Thomas during his confirmation hearings.
Kevin Daley highlights Thomas' biography: "Thomas was born in Georgia's coastal lowlands among impoverished Gullah-speakers. By his own account, he did not master the Queen's English until his early 20s. He came of age in Jim Crow Savannah, where he was in turn ridiculed by white neighbors and classmates for his unpolished style, one of many indignities typical of his adolescence in the racist south. The startling racial injustices of his youth, by discipline and sheer force of will, gave way to the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. and Yale Law School."
And there's so much more to his inspiring story. His omission from the museum was a deliberate decision based upon the abhorrent leftist narrative that blacks who aren't Democrat really aren't authentically black.

liar-Hillary’s Stretch on the Bin Laden Raid
by Brendan Kirby
{lifezette.com} ~ During the vice presidential debate Tuesday, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine repeatedly turned to what Democratic presidential candidate liar-Hillary Clinton regards as a signature accomplishment — killing Osama bin Laden... Kaine invoked the late al-Qaida leader’s name a half-dozen times during his debate with Republican Mike Pence. “Under Secretary liar-Clinton’s leadership, she was part of the national team, public safety team that went after and revived the dormant hunt against bin Laden and wiped him off the face of the Earth,” he said. liar-Clinton was in the Situation Room as commandos stormed bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan in 2011. An iconic photograph proves it. And by most accounts, she added her voice to those arguing in favor of the strike. But counter-terrorism experts said it is difficult to identify any other meaningful contribution she made to the effort...No, liar-Hillary didn't get Bin Laden http://www.lifezette.com/polizette/hillarys-stretch-on-the-bin-laden-raid/

liar-Hillary Clinton Exposed
Ambassador Chris Stevens via Email
by Kevin Jackson
March 23, 2011: In this email, liar-Clinton’s then-chief of staff Jacob Sullivan wrote to liar-Clinton about the NATO mission in Libya. Sullivan also wrote that someone named Bill was “trying to make sure Chris Stevens gets into E. Libya.”
March 27, 2011: This is an email between two State Department officials that was then forwarded to liar-Clinton. Regarding his location and travel plans, the email said, “The current game plan is for Mr. Stevens to move no later than Wednesday from Malta to Benghazi. He will stage off shore initially for a one day visit during which he will have meetings with TNC interlocutors and get a sense of the situation on the ground. The goal of this one day trip is for him to lay the groundwork for a stay of up to 30 days.”... http://theblacksphere.net/2016/10/breaking-hillary-clinton-exposed-ambassador-chris-stevens-via-email/

liar-Hillary Campaign Calls
For The Murder Of Julian Assange
by Keely Sharp
{thetrumptruck.com} ~ Funny thing Julian Assange is an Australian citizen. So how could he be suborning treason against a country in which he has no allegiance? Just one more idiotic political stance from the liar-Hillary campaign... Bob Beckel, liar-Hillary Clinton’s strategist, said that Julian Assange (the founder and editor of WikiLeaks) should be shot for “treason.” He only said shot, ”illegally” might I add, because he does not believe in the death penalty. What is this great treason, you may ask? Julian has come forth to offer liar-Hillary’s emails that WikiLeaks was ablate uncover. Here is the catch, those emails contain evidence of liar-Hillary selling weapons to ISIS. Now liar-Hillary wants him dead. Listen to Bob Beckel at the site. http://thetrumptruck.com/hillary-campaign-calls-for-death-of-wikileaks-editor/#respond

nObamacare Architect
Not That Sorry About Premium Hikes
by Trey Sanchez
{truthrevolt.org} ~ Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the architect behind President nObama’s signature legislation, wasn’t exactly apologetic for the disastrous health care law he helped create when confronted with real world examples of premium hikes affecting millions of families... During his appearance, Thursday on Varney and Company on Fox Business, host Stuart Varney offered Emanuel two examples sent in from viewers who wanted answers as to why their premiums skyrocketed since nObamacare became law. Varney asked Emanuel to address Chris who wrote: “Got kicked off my old plan … Premiums up 400 percent, copayment up 150 percent, deductible $2500 before it was $250! Basically we’ve been screwed! And I’m not on nObamacare. This is what the law has done to me.”...Once again, Emanuel is blaming the Republicans for it. http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/obamacare-architect-not-sorry-about-premium-hikes

Russia? Look who’s really in bed with Moscow
by Jerome R. Corsi
{wnd.com} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager, John Podesta, was on the executive board of a client of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which is at the heart of the the Panama Papers investigation into massive global offshore money-laundering... The company for which Podesta served as a board member, Joule, also received $35 million from a Putin-connected Russian government fund at the same time then-Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton spearheaded the transfer of U.S. advanced technology, some with military uses, as part of her “reset” strategy with Russia, according to a report titled “From Russia With Money,” released in August by the Government Accountability Institute. “liar-Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweizer is president of GAI, and Steve Bannon, the CEO of the Trump campaign, is a director. The Russian entities that funneled money to Joule and its related companies, and ultimately to Podesta, include a controversial Russian investor with ties to the Russian government, Viktor Vekselberg, and his Renova Group, a Russian conglomerate with interests in oil, energy and telecommunication... http://www.wnd.com/2016/10/hillary-campaign-chief-tied-to-russian-money-laundering/

Insult Or An Excuse for Betrayal?
by Jonathan S. Tobin
{commentarymagazine.com} ~ The decision of the nObama administration to issue a full throttle condemnation of Israel over new housing in the West Bank is an ill omen for the post-election conduct of the outgoing president... when it comes to Palestinian efforts at the United Nations in November and December. The administration’s complaint is focused on the announcement of a new development with 98 houses in the West Bank. Unlike the new neighborhoods built in Jerusalem since the Six Day War or the settlement blocs that are adjacent to the 1967 borders, the homes are in an area that might be expected to be part of a Palestinian state in the event of a two-state solution peace deal. Washington is also offended at the timing since it comes just after President nObama’s visit to the country for the funeral of Shimon Peres. The administration is trying to spin this as an “insult” to the president in the way it attempted to portray a routine housing announcement as a slight to Vice President loose lips-Biden in 2010. The White House alleges that the decision contradicts private and public assurances to the president that no “new” settlements would be built. Administration spokespersons are also trying to portray the decision as evidence of ingratitude since it comes weeks after the signing of a new long-term aid agreement between the U.S. and Israel...

Don’t kill Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi...After the election
by Michael Rubin
{aei.org} ~ As US, Iraqi, and Iraqi and Syrian Kurdish forces close in on Mosul and Raqqa, talk is increasing about the imminent defeat of the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, Daesh)... During the first presidential debate, former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton said, “We’re hoping that within the year, will be able to push ISIS out of Iraq, and then, you know, really squeeze them in Syria.” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-declared caliph of the Islamic State, has become the chief symbol of the Islamic State. While US drone strikes regularly target Islamic State commanders and murderers like “Jihadi John,” the Kuwaiti-born British citizen who starred in numerous execution videos of journalists and foreign aid workers, Baghdadi would be the biggest prize for any US drone operator or Special Force soldier. For President nObama to be able to announce the death of Baghdadi in his last weeks in office would change the political landscape and salvage a foreign policy legacy undercut by the rise of the Islamic State...

White House Coordinated With liar-Clinton
Campaign About Emails In Early 2015
by Jay Caruso
{redstate.com} ~ On March 7 of 2015, the NY Times reported Barack nObama said he didn't know liar-Hillary Clinton was using a private email address during her tenure as Secretary of State... It was learned last week, that was a lie. President nObama used a pseudonym to email liar-Hillary Clinton - at her private email address, while she was Secretary of State. The Wall Street Journal is now reporting the nObama White House was coordinating with liar-Hillary's fledgling campaign in order to do damage control over the email scandal: Newly disclosed emails show top nObama administration officials were in close contact with liar-Hillary Clinton’s nascent presidential campaign in early 2015 about the potential fallout from revelations that the former secretary of state used a private email server...

Putin Issues War Ultimatum -NATO Must Stand Down
in Eastern Europe or Be Attacked
by Dave Hodges
{thecommonsenseshow.com} ~ Paul Marin alerted me to a story from SouthFront.org in which they are claiming the following:... “Vladimir Putin asked the US to remove its defense infrastructure from Eastern Europe and from the territory of new NATO members in the Balkans and the Baltics (Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland) as well as its troops stationed there in recent years. He also insists that Washington’s sanction are lifted and compensation paid for the damage caused by them…” Thanks to South Front for bringing this issue forward. Essentially, this is true, but incomplete as most first reports are. Also, Moldova and Hungary must be added to the list. Part of what has Putin so upset is the fact that NATO continues to execute a military buildup on Russia’s doorstep. For example, two years ago, Poland did the following:... http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2016/10/06/putin-issues-war-ultimatum-nato-must-stand-down-or-be-attacked/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=putin-issues-war-ultimatum-nato-must-stand-down-or-be-attacked

FBI files reveal missing email 'boxes' in liar-Clinton
case, allegations of evidence tampering
by Catherine Herridge & Pamela K. Browne
{foxnews.com} ~ Buried in the 189 pages of heavily redacted FBI witness interviews from the liar-Hillary Clinton email investigation are details of yet another mystery -- about two missing “bankers boxes” filled with the former secretary of state’s emails... The interviews released earlier this month, known as 302s, also reveal the serious allegation that senior State Department official Patrick Kennedy applied pressure to subordinates to change the classified email codes so they would be shielded from Congress and the public. The details about the boxes are contained in five pages of the FBI file – with a staggering 111 redactions – that summarize the statements of a State Department witness who worked in the “Office of Information Programs and Services (IPS)." The employee told the FBI that, “Initially, IPS officials were told there were 14 bankers boxes of former Secretary of State liar-Hillary CLINTON’s emails at liar-CLINTON’s Friendship Heights office.” Friendship Heights is a neighborhood that straddles the Northwest neighborhood of the District of Columbia and Maryland... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/06/fbi-files-reveal-missing-email-boxes-in-clinton-case-allegations-evidence-tampering.html

The Academic Curtain
by Thomas Sowell
{townhall.com} ~ Back in the days of the Cold War between the Communist bloc of nations and the Western democracies, the Communists maintained pervasive restrictions around Eastern Europe that were aptly called an "iron curtain," isolating the people in its bloc from the ideas of the West and physically obstructing their escape.
One of the few things that could penetrate the "iron curtain" were ideas conveyed on radio waves. "The Voice of America" network broadcast to the peoples of the Soviet bloc, so that they were never completely isolated, and hearing only what the Communist dictatorships wanted them to hear.
Ironically, despite the victory of democracy over dictatorship that brought the Cold War to an end, within American society there has slowly but steadily developed in too many of our own colleges and universities a set of restrictions on what can be said on campus, either by students or professors, or by outside speakers with views that contradict the political correctness of our time.
There is no barbed wire around our campuses, nor armed guards keeping unwelcome ideas out. So there is no "iron curtain." But there is a curtain, and it has its effect.
One effect is that many of the rising generation can go from elementary school through postgraduate education at our leading colleges and universities without ever hearing a coherent presentation of a vision of the world that is fundamentally different from that of the political left.
There are world class scholars who are unlikely to become professors at either elite or non-elite academic institutions because they do not march in the lockstep of the left. Some have been shouted down or even physically assaulted when they tried to give a speech that challenged the prevailing political correctness.
Harvard is just one of the prestigious institutions where such things have happened -- and where preemptive surrender to mob rule has been justified by a dean saying that it was too costly to provide security for many outside speakers who would set off campus turmoil.
Despite the fervor with which demographic "diversity" is proclaimed as a prime virtue -- without a speck of evidence as to its supposed benefits -- diversity of ideas gets no such respect.
Students taught economics by Keynesian economists are unlikely to hear about the 1921 recession, with double-digit unemployment, where the government did nothing, and unemployment fell by more than half, as the economy recovered on its own.
Nor are they likely to learn how grossly misleading are many of the income statistics cited to justify the agenda of the left. As economist Alan Reynolds put it, many people "form very strong opinions about very weak statistics."
Students are unlikely to go through college without being assigned to read "The Communist Manifesto" -- often in more than one course -- while a classic like "The Federalist" is seldom assigned reading, even though it is a very readable and profound explanation of the principles on which the Constitution of the United States is based, written by three of the men who actually wrote the Constitution.
On the racial front, landmark studies like "America in Black and White" by Stephen and Abigail Thernstrom are unlikely to see the light of day in courses or even on college bookstore shelves.
While there is no "iron curtain" around our campuses, there is a curtain, and its effects are dangerously close to the effects produced by the "iron curtain" around the Soviet bloc. What is lacking is anything like the Voice of America broadcasts to pierce the academic curtain.
In an electronic age, there are plenty of sources from which forbidden facts and suppressed views can be beamed into the many electronic devices used by college students.
There are many recorded speeches and interviews of outstanding thinkers, from the past and the present, with viewpoints different from the prevailing groupthink on campus, and these can be presented directly to students with electronic devices.
Someone from the real world beyond the ivy-covered enclaves would have to do it. And it is not yet clear who would do it or who would finance it. Perhaps some of those donors who have kept on writing checks to their alma maters, while the latter surrendered repeatedly to ideological intolerance, might consider such a project. Campus mobs could not shout down thousands of scattered iPads.
