You've got to pity poor Colin Powell. A Republican moderate, he has never really been accepted by Democrats or Republicans. And now Buzzfeed has leaked his personal e mails, the veracity of which the professional soldier, neither admits nor denies. Trump has always portrayed himself as an outsider. The newest leaks show that even moderate Republicans like Colin Powell and Condi Rice, suspect and dislike him. In trouble over a private email server she wasn't supposed to have set up, former Secret...
He lives in exile in an embassy in London and considers himself a journalist, while the Obama administration and many Americans consider him to be a traitor. Appearing on Megyn Kelly's Fox News program, WikiLeaks founder and editor-in-chief Julian Assange said on Wednesday that he planned to release "significant" information linked to the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Asked if the data could be a game-changer in the election, he said "I think it's significant. You...
The Donald Trump for President 2016 campaign will pull out of the scheduled September 26th debate between Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Trump, unless third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are also allowed to participate. This is a tactical move believed by most analysts to help Trump, because the third-party candidates seem to drain more support from Clinton then they do from Trump. The Commission on Presidential Debates announced its 15 perc...
Ivanka introducing her father at the Republican national convention in July, made the following comments: Thank you. One year ago I introduced my father when he declared his candidacy he sacrificed greatly when he entered the filed and he prevailed against a very talented list of competitors Like many of my fellow milenials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat. I vote for whatever is best for the country and for my family. I m here to tell you that this is the moment...
Does it prove the Power of Love, or the Love of Power? Maybe just the stickiest, strangest, least probable people-who-know-people story of the year. Turns out the Clintons, the Trumps, and the Putins are all related to each other and to Fox News Chairman Rupert Murdoch, by love, marriage and children. You may recall that Rupert Murdoch left his wife for Wendi Deng, 40 years his junior. "Deng married Murdoch in 1999 prior to a significant rise to socialite status." Indeed, Wikipedia. Wendi Deng...
During an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe, the Libertarian Party presidential nominee on Thursday flubbed a question on the Syrian civil war, asking, "What is Aleppo?" Johnson would later say he mentally "blanked." He. needs to average 15% from voters in the polls leading up to the September 26th debate. He is currently averaging around 9%, in the five polls that matter, with a couple weeks to close the gap. If he doesn't only Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican Nominee Donald...
Well it looks like Hillary finally had her Mitt Romney 47% moment. Mitt Romney famously said that a quarter of all Americans don't really matter (see below). Tonight, Hillary Clinton said that half of Trump supporters are Xenophobes, racists, misogynists, sexists and other "deplorable basket" types. Hillary may be concerned because she appears to be losing momentum and national polls. She came out of the conventions of full 12 points ahead of Republican challenger Donald Trump. But now, the...
Two Hillary Clinton aides denied it to Fox News, but as the Drudge Report first pointed out, Hillary clinton appears to have had the benefit of an earpiece last night during the presidential forum on the Aircraft Carrier Intrepid in New York Harbor. It was not immediately clear if the device was so she could be assisted with her responses, or if hearing can be added the the list of the former Secretary of State's health problems. Hearing loss is a known side effect of a stroke or seizure. Clinto...
The New York Times analysis of national and regional polls believes the Democrats are now "slight favorites" to take the US Senate back from the Republicans on November 8th. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/upshot/senate-election-forecast.html?_r=0 This is the first time in 2016, that the Democrats have been favored to take control of the Senate. One third of Senators are up for election each 2 year election cycle, and this year the Republicans have 22 seats potentially up for grabs....
In yet another face-off between the liberal left and law enforcement, the Obama Administration filed an amicus brief in a Georgia case that argues the unconstitutionality of fixed bail schedules, a system which doesn't take into account the accused's ability to pay. The Georgia case involves a defendant charged with a misdemeanor in Calhoun, Georgia. The town is so small that court is only held once a week. Although the defendant's rights were already violated by holding him for 72 hours p...
A bill to protect patients from surprise bills after a hospital visit is currently under consideration in the California Assembly. The measure, AB 72, sponsored by 5 Democrats and 2 Republicans, has garnered the support of Consumers Union (the policy branch of Consumer Reports), retiree and youth advocacy groups, and health insurance companies. However some physician organizations, including the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons are opposed, claiming the cost-control law will c...
It was the high point of a rough August for the Donald. Towering over Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, Donald Trump managed to look downright presidential. He controlled the conversation by picking which reporters could ask him questions (a right ordinarily reserved to the host). He said nothing especially controversial, by Trump standards. And most of all, he managed to meet with a foreign leader of an important US constituency. Benjamin Netanyahu famously refused to meet President...
Congressman Ted Lieu (D Los Angeles) has led a 64-member bipartisan group in writing to President Obama in opposition of a proposed arms sale to Saudi Arabia. The group of legislators believe congress needs more time to debate the merits of providing more arms to Saudi Arabia in light of their recent conduct in Yemen. Lieu writes, "The actions of the Saudi-led Coalition in Yemen are as reprehensible as they are illegal. The multiple, repeated airstrikes on civilians look like war crimes....
He is a former congressman and the husband of Huma Abedin, right-hand woman to Obama Heir-presumptive Hillary Clinton. He is smart, good looking, 51 year old male and the father of a toddler. And he cannot keep himself from chasing women online. World media note: this time Anthony Weiner has apparently deleted his Twitter account. Oh, the humanity! The move comes after The NY Post reported Weiner had sexted a busty brunette - even sending along a picture of his toddler son in a lurid crotch...
Any newswatcher knows that Syria has completely collapsed from its 3 year civil war, and it's no place for children or families. As of February 2016, the United Nations (UN) has identified 13.5 million Syrians requiring humanitarian assistance, of which 6.6 million are internally displaced within Syria, and over 4.8 million are refugees outside of Syria. Turkey is the largest host country with over 2.7 million Syrian refugees. Jordan has taken in over 1,000,000 Syrian refugees. Over serious...
Donald Trump has named Kansas Governor Sam Brownback as one of four politicians selected to serve as his Agricultural Advisory Committee, and in speeches across the country he is lauding Brownback's "Kansas solution" as a model for America. Whoa. THAT is scary. Delusionally, fantastically, scary. Of all of the many scary things that Trump has said at his campaign rallies, this unabashed praise of Sam Brownback may truly be the scariest of all. For those who don't follow Kansas news, my home...
Seth C. Rich was fatally shot on July 10, 2016. He was a 27-year-old employee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). His mysterious murder followed the DNC Email hack. The timing is frankly suspicious. Or just coincidental. Tonight on FoxNews, Megan Kelly talked about the mysterious murder of Seth Rich, 27, a DC Democratic Party Staffer with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. At the time of his death, Rich was Deputy Director of "Data-for-Voter Protection/Expansion" at the DNC, where he had...
Hillary Clinton delivered a speech in Indiana Friday night, a seminal important speech in which she commented on the speeches of Republican Candidate, Donald Trump. As Roberta Flack said of Don McLean, Clinton said of Don Trump: I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style And so I came to see him, to Listen for a while And there he was this young boy, A stranger to my eyes He was strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song, killing...
We are all pleased with the progress being made on gaining local control of the land we own at the airport. I think it's worth noting, though, as I did earlier this week in a letter to the local newspaper, that this progress came about because of the united work of all seven Councilmembers. Grossly inaccurate materials have been circulated in some Santa Monica neighborhoods alleging that the Council was split on this, and even that one Councilmember in particular was "for sale." The proof to...
Hillary Clinton appeared as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night. Kimmel's name and likeness have appeared on Los Angeles are buses as a candidate for Vice President. I'm not sure how serious he is. Clinton wasn't serious at all. She grimaced and feigned difficulty opening the glass jar of pickles. It would've been perfect if Bernie Sanders had walked onto the set and helped her, but he's too busy working on his political legacy. Meanwhile, the man the Washingotn Post describes as a...
The Washington Post, which among American newspapers is the most unabashedly pro-Clinton and Anti Trump, says "(Trump Campaign Spokeswoman) Katrina Pierson is at it again:" "... saying Thursday on MSNBC that Hillary Clinton suffers from a medical condition -- dysphasia -- with which Clinton has never been diagnosed. "What's new are the other reports of the observations of Hillary Clinton's behavior and mannerisms, specifically with what you just showed in those previous clips, as well as her...
Jake Anantha, an 18-year-old college student and Donald Trump supporter was enthusiastic about attending a Trump rally at the Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, last Thursday. He joined the waiting crowd at about 3:30 p.m., and then proceeded toward the stage around 4:30 when the attendees were finally allowed inside. Suddenly, Anantha reports, a member of Trump's security team tapped his shoulder and led him to the side. The man said they knew who Anantha was, and they knew he had...
(August 18, 2016 as posted by SA) Donald Trump's Lack of Respect for Science Is Alarming The U.S. presidential election shows how far the political conversation has degenerated from the nation's founding principles of truth and evidence Four years ago in these pages, writer Shawn Otto warned our readers of the danger of a growing antiscience current in American politics. "By turning public opinion away from the antiauthoritarian principles of the nation's founders," Otto wrote, "the new science...
The federal government is opening all bathrooms in national buildings managed by the Government Services Administration (GSA) to use by transgender individuals. Under the new policy released by the GSA, employees and visitors to these properties must be allowed to use the bathrooms that match their alleged gender identity. Not satisfied with simply allowing transgender people to use the bathrooms opposite their biological sex, the regulation explicitly forbids providing single-user bat...
Despite several warnings and a criminal complaint, Donald Trump's presidential campaign continues to ask for donations from foreign nationals. In June of this year, complaints were filed with the Federal Election Committee (FEC) by the Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21 against Trump after it became public that he had been asking for campaign contributions from members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. UK Parliament Members Peter Bottomley and Bob Blackman both said that they'd...
