Walls of stone - Jennifer Epstein gives us a valuable view from the Clinton war room: “The hope of Clinton’s inner circle is that she’ll be able to address the e-mail controversy as a minor element of her expected announcement. Agreeing to an interview now or at any time before she’s ready to launch her campaign would be potentially detrimental, signaling that she’s shifted into damage control mode and drawing attention to an issue about which many voters are still unaware, said a former Clinton campaign aide who has knowledge of the current team’s thinking. It would also appear to challenge her aides’ assertions that she did nothing wrong.” -Fox News
Royal treatment - Peggy Noonan, never more indispensable than in moments like these, explains why some in the press are going knock-kneed: With the exception of the moment Wednesday when a hardy reporter from TMZ actually went to an airport and shouted a query at Mrs. Clinton—it was just like the old days of journalism, with a stakeout and shouted queries—Mrs. Clinton hasn’t been subjected to any questions from the press. She’s slide, she’ll glide, she’ll skate. (With TMZ she just walked on, smiling.) … Why doesn’t the legacy press swarm her on this? Because she is political royalty. They are used to seeing her as a regal, queenly figure. They’ve been habituated to understand that Mrs. Clinton is not to be harried, not to be subjected to gotcha questions or impertinent grilling. She is a Democrat, a star, not some grubby Republican governor from nowhere. And they don’t want to be muscled by her spokesmen.”
[Fox News: “Hilly Clinton appears to have established multiple email addresses for her private use, and possibly the use of her aides, under the domain of ‘clintonemail.com,’ according to a prominent member of the hacking community who supplied independent research data, conducted with high-tech tools, to Fox News.”] -Fox News

Did you have to let it linger? - Hilly Clinton’s decision to use private email as Secretary of State is raising major questions about her secrecy and accountability. Brad Blakeman, former George W. Bush adviser and radio host Garland Nixon join Chris Stirewalt ponder whether this scandal will stick and end Clinton’s prospects for a White House bid. WATCH HERE.

Needs a base crack up - If Walker can hold his spot as the consensus conservative choice, a posture which won him a 15-point advantage in the Quinnipiac Iowa poll out this week, Bush could be frozen out of the nomination. One way for Jeb to achieve a breakout would be the approach his brother used in 2000 to win Iowa: Appeal to the social conservatives who are less concerned about issues that trouble other activists on the right, particularly immigration, and who share Bush’s opposition to abortion and fervent faith. If Bush can peel off enough of those caucus goers to add to his moderate, pro-business coalition, he could emerge ahead of a crowded field for an Iowa win.

Pro-Hilly group leader on Christie: ‘We want to kill him dead’ - Daily Caller: “The president of a Democrat super PAC dedicated to digging up opposition research on Republicans said of New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie: ‘We want to kill him dead.’ Brad Woodhouse, the president of the liberal super PAC American Bridge, made the provocative comments in a profile of the organization published by Bloomberg Politics. The story notes that American Bridge would not back off its attacks on Christie. ‘We’re not going to pull resources from Christie,’ Woodhouse told the outlet. ‘We want to kill him dead.’ Woodhouse, a longtime Democratic operative, has often accused Republicans of using offensive rhetoric against President nObama. -Fox News

The Truth Is Not In Them – More Regime Cover Up
(rickwells.us) - In the nObama White House, answering a question regarding their role in the compromise of classified secret documents in conjunction with Hilly Clinton was described as speculation, a practice that they refused to engage in...It’s something they would simply never do, just like upholding the Constitution, acting in the interest of the American people, and honoring their oaths of office. They are clearly hiding something, most likely a lot of “somethings.” The Associated Press’ Matt Lee questioned State Department spokes-obstructer Jen Psaki seeking a response to questions of the security and vulnerability of the Clinton State Department emails. Those documents are presently being held captive in the Do-It-Yourself State Department Communications Center in Chappaqua, NY. If Hilly's website was secured why then did it get hacked? http://www.rickwells.us/the-truth-is-not-in-them-more-regime-cover-up-lies-about-what-they-knew-and-when-they-knew-it/

Brian Williams Killed Stories Damaging to nObama
(John Nolte) - The New Yorker’s Gabriel Sherman took a deep-dive into the ongoing shipwreck that is NBC News. The most fascinating tidbit had nothing to do with the House of Cards-style machinations embroiling the Peacock Network...Buried under more than a dozen paragraphs is the bombshell that as anchor and managing editor of the NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams (who is currently serving a six-month suspension) refused to broadcast two big NBC News scoops damaging to President nObama. According to Sherman’s sources, in 2013, Williams refused to broadcast the news about a Justice Department memo justifying drone strikes against American citizens. Later that same year, Williams wouldn’t air a report that said the nObama Administration had known since 2010 that nObamaCare would cost millions of Americans the very same insurance policies President nObama repeatedly promised they could keep. http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/03/09/buried-lede-brian-williams-killed-stories-damaging-to-obama/

Most Corrupt Admin In History Stonewalling On “Lost” EPA Emails
(rickwells.us) - For most of Americans, telling the truth about things is a lot easier than trying to maintain a protective veil of lies. Then again, most of us aren’t members of the “most transparent regime in history,” nor are we engaged in treasonous acts against the economic fabric of our nation...The massive, largely unaccountable EPA monster is attempting to keep text messages between its chief, Gina McCarthy, and other high level agency officials out of the hands of Congressional investigators. The dispute evolved from a probe into impropriety by the agency in preemptively vetoing the Pebble Mine project in Bristol Bay, AK before any environmental impact research had been conducted. http://www.rickwells.us/most-corrupt-administration-in-history-stonewalling-on-lost-epa-emails-texts-now-threatened-with-subpoenas/

Leader dinky Harry Reid Caught Red Handed in Corruption Scandal
(clyde) - Former Senate Majority Leader dinky Harry Reid (doesn’t the “former” part sound good?) is one of the most corrupt Senators in US history...and this week he’s been caught in yet another massive scandal after news broke that he stole billions in “green energy” subsidies and steered them to his staffers, family, friends, and supporters. A new report from the Washington Free Beacon shows that dinky Reid is at it again…Corporate donors to a green energy nonprofit operated by Senate Minority Leader dinky Harry Reid’s (D., Nev.) former staffers and a current campaign operative have received billions of dollars in federal loan guarantees and grant money as a result of dinky Reid’s advocacy. http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/03/09/outrageous-dem-leader-harry-reid-caught-red-handed-in-massive-new-corruption-scandal/

ATF shelves controversial bullet ban proposal
(foxnews.com) - The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is shelving a controversial proposal to ban a popular type of bullet, amid opposition from hundreds of congressional lawmakers...The ATF said in a statement on Tuesday it would not seek to issue the final guidelines "at this time." The proposal pertained to M855 "green tip" ammunition, used in the AR-15 rifle; regulators looked at banning it because can pierce police body armor. The ATF said in a statement on Tuesday it would not seek to issue final guidelines "at this time." The agency said it will instead wait until Americans have finished commenting on the federal regulations and evaluate their comments and suggestions before "proceeding with any framework." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/03/10/atf-shelves-controversial-bullet-ban-proposal/

Denzel Washington Defies Hollywood- Speaks Against nObama
(clyde) - Two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington recently defied liberal Hollywood by speaking out about his strong Christian faith...nObama has consistently shown that he has a strong anti-Christian agenda, so Washington’s brave words have enraged nObama-lovers everywhere. “I read from the Bible every day, and I read my Daily Word,” he told a reporter, adding that it was not difficult for him to grow up as the son of a preacher. “He wasn’t a taskmaster, but there were certain things you couldn’t do,” Washington said. “He had his own church, and it was a long Sunday, because you had to be there all day.” http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/03/10/denzel-washington-defies-hollywood-speaks-out-against-obama-agenda/

Gowdy: NYTs Article That Hilly Didn’t Have an Official Email Acct
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) - Judge Andrew Napolitano and Congressman Trey Gowdy both appeared on The Kelly File Monday night to talk about Hilly Clinton’s email scandal...Megyn Kelly asked Napolitano to weigh in on nObama’s take on the controversy. “I’m glad that Hilly’s instructed that those emails that had to do with official business need to be disclosed,” nObama told CBS News’ Bill Plante over the weekend. “Apparently the president has the same misunderstanding of federal law that his former secretary of state does,” Napolitano quipped. Congressman Trey Gowdy, Chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi came on next to talk about the State Department’s unimpressive reaction to HillyGate. Gowdy wants a neutral arbiter – “a federal judge, archiver, or inspector general” to take charge of getting the info he seeks from her server. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv5xk7eCBIY

Trey Gowdy – The Path Of Discovery In Hilly Clinton Email Scandal
(rickwells.us) - Rep Trey Gowdy has been frustrated by the slow pace of his Select Committee on Benghazi’s investigation, a deliberate result of obstruction by the nObama regime...He’s also taken some fire for the lack of movement. He’s given the opportunity to explain just what he’s been up against in trying to wrest some cooperation from the State Department and the executive branch.. While Hanoi John Kerry’s been around the world proclaiming to an array of governing bodies of various nations that he is being ravaged by climate change, and with an appearance that validates his argument to the extent that something has repeatedly bludgeoned the Secretary of State about the head, his State Department has been withholding evidence. They’ve also failed to voluntarily alert Congress to the fact that requested documents were wrongfully in the custody of their co-conspirator Hilly Clinton. The fact that this dishonest, potentially criminal behavior was exhibited by the same State Department that urges us to trust them in matters related to Iran’s nuclear weapons program is not something that should be overlooked. http://www.rickwells.us/trey-gowdy-the-path-of-discovery-in-hillary-clinton-email-scandal-the-extensive-ongoing-cover-up-by-state-department/

WH Ordered Back to Court Alleged False Facts in Amnesty Case (breitbart.com) - The judge who blocked President Barack nObama’s executive action on immigration has ordered the Justice Department to answer allegations the government misled him about part of the plan...U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen has ordered federal government lawyers to appear in his court March 19 in Brownsville. The hearing is in response to a filing last week in which the government acknowledged some deportation reprieves were granted before Hanen’s Feb. 16 injunction. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/09/judge-orders-hearing-after-obama-admin-grants-100000-illegals-work-permits/

backstabber Boehner Cut Deal With Nancy Pulosi to Fund Amnesty
(Matthew Boyle) - A new bombshell report from Politico found that House Speaker backstabber John Boehner had several days of secret negotiations with Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi...the recently emboldened former Speaker, leading up to his decision to flip-flop and fund President nObama’s executive amnesty—including a pre-hashed out deal to use the hoopla around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Tuesday address to Congress over Iran’s nuclear ambitions as political cover to sneak in the extraordinarily controversial vote. Even with the bombshell report, however, backstabber Boehner’s office continues to deny any deal took place. Since Friday, Pulosi and backstabber Boehner have held quiet rounds of negotiations and maneuvering to push the measure through the House over the objections of a cadre of conservatives in backstabber Boehner’s conference who scuttled a three-week funding bill in a dramatic showdown last week. As late as Tuesday, backstabber Boehner tapped Democrats to help pass a procedural rule for a funding bill for Amtrak that Republicans were threatening to bring down if it did not include a provision that would stop a clean DHS bill from moving forward. But Pulosi pledged Democratic support to move forward — a departure from normal where the minority party always votes against rules brought by the party controlling the floor. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/05/report-boehner-cut-deal-with-nancy-pelosi-to-use-netanyahu-speech-as-cover-to-fund-obamas-executive-amnesty/

Burt Prelutsky
(burtprelutsky.com) - Even though Bernie Goldberg has elected for perfectly rational reasons to stop posting my articles, we continue to exchange friendly email. I like Bernie and I think he’s a smart guy, but occasionally I think he goes out of his way to poke Evangelicals, possibly to appear fair and balanced when attacking Islamic jihadists.
Although Bernie is not a liberal, it is the sort of moral equivalence in which those on the Left are often engaged. It’s not unlike nObama’s comparing those who are lopping off heads and setting people on fire today to the Crusades, which took place a thousand years ago and were conducted in retaliation to Islamic barbarism.
Recently, after Scott Walker refused to answer an English reporter’s question about Evolution, Bernie took him to task and, by extension, those Christians who are convinced that the earth is only 6,000 years old.
I wrote to him, stating: “I believe in Evolution. You believe in Evolution. A great many people who vote for Republicans take the Bible literally and believe that God actually created everything in six 24-hour days. That being said, why should a GOP politician even bother answering a gotcha question that serves no other purpose than to help get his liberal opponent elected?”
My own response to the English bloke would be that there is no contradiction between science and religion; that the world evolved, but the force behind both its creation and its evolvement was God. And I would then quickly segue into prepared remarks about wiping out ISIS, and how our two countries should lead the fight against Islamic fascism, just as we did in the 40s when we united to defeat Nazism.
Or perhaps, if I were in a waspish mood, I might say, “Don’t be such a twit. I’m a politician, not a theologian. Would you ask the Archbishop of Canterbury how he feels about tariffs or the corporate tax rate?”
The fact of the matter is that it doesn’t really matter what senators and presidents think about Evolution because it will never influence their policy decisions. Belief in global warming, on the other hand, is Al Gore-inspired malarkey that has made him a billionaire and has the potential to bankrupt the industrial West. And when you get right down to it, that’s what motivates many of its most enthusiastic, anti-capitalistic, anti-American, proponents.
It seems to me that if Bernie Goldberg or anyone else is going to attack those peddling myths, it makes more sense to ridicule those whose myths can actually do irreparable damage to America.
Speaking of England, recently the Brits have noticed a huge spike in air rage incidents involving passengers attacking personnel, smoking in the loos and making dumb jokes about bombs on planes. They have traced the source of the problem to guest lounges at the airport, where people are fueling up for the flight with intoxicatingly large amounts of booze.
It reminded me that some years ago, I was taking a train from San Diego to L.A. and there were nonstop announcements, urging passengers to visit the bar car and imbibe. It was as if John Barleycorn had control of the P.A. system.
I found it so irresponsible and annoying that I wrote a letter to Amtrak. I pointed out that not only did the boozers grow increasingly loud and obnoxious as we made our way up the coast, but they were then stumbling off the train and getting into their cars to drive home.
Some bureaucrat wrote back, promising to look into it. My guess is that the only thing he looked into was how much dough Club Amtrak was raking in, and then received a bonus for suggesting they also start offering crack cocaine and heroin.
Something I don’t understand is why Vladimir Putin has been so reluctant to regain Russia’s lost empire. When he looks around and notices that the U.S and its NATO allies refuse to confront the small army of ISIS -- an army, by the way, lacking an air force -- you would think he’d begin salivating at the thought of gobbling up Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, East Germany and anything else in the European smorgasbord that might tantalize his appetite.
I mean, really, if beheadings and human bonfires aren’t enough to incite and unite what passes for western civilization, it’s hard to imagine that a few divisions of Russian tanks and infantry rolling across borders is going to meet with any real resistance.
On the other hand, in the Middle East we are seeing something some of us never imagined possible. The prime minister of Israel, the king of Jordan and the president of Egypt, are joining together in opposition to ISIS. It would be nice to see the United States taking its place among the nations of the willing, but so long as Barack nObama remains the world’s foremost apologist for Islamic terrorism, it’s probably just as well that America is not involved. If anything, we should probably be grateful that nObama hasn’t thrown his support to the jihadists.
In better news, Ash Carter, recently installed as this month’s Secretary of Defense, did the right thing by removing Admiral John Kirby as the spokesman for the Pentagon, and promising to replace him with a civilian. Listening to lies intended to prop up nObama and mislead Americans is bad enough without having to listen to them from a schmuck with a chest full of medals, who brought dishonor to his military uniform by performing the duties of a political hack.
It was recently divulged that the Hilly, Bill and Chelsea Clinton Foundation has collected two billion dollars since 2001, much of it from foreign nations, including the likes of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman. Some people feel this could prove an embarrassment to Hilly if she makes a run for the 2016 nomination, but I disagree. I don’t believe it is possible to shame this couple. I mean, after Monica Lewinsky and Benghazi, the fact that these two are still lusting for power tells you they not only don’t know the meaning of shame, they can’t even spell the word.
However, when it comes to money and politicians, it’s my feeling that any time someone gets into politics poor and ends up wealthy, he or she should wind up in jail. Better yet, I would deal with corrupt politicians the way rumor has it things were handled in ancient Rome. I’d tie them in a burlap bag with a wild cat and toss the bag in the river. For those of you who think we should prove ourselves to be more civilized than the Romans, I’d be willing to spare the wild cat.
Finally, we come to someone who in a less scandal-riddled administration would be attracting a good deal more attention. I refer to loose lips Joe Biden. When you take his sleazy habit of running his hands over every woman within reach and combine it with his insistence on swimming in the nude in front of his female Secret Service agents, you have a V.P. who reminds a lot of people of their creepiest uncle – the one who eventually wound up in the clink or the loony bin.
