    One organization has 30 investigational reporters who were specifically hired to find something on trump. Let it drip because the Hilary side has been dripping for years. This is going to be a shock and awe election. No one will come out of it unscathed.

    Political Insider says Trump wants Cruz as his running mate. Don't do it Mr. Cruz! Don't lend any credibility to this man's campaign. Support a good third candidate.

    You can bet there is a lot more to come. It will trickle out...and I agree...too little too late. Folks had to see this coming considering trumps current behaviour.

    I don't think he will....I think his principles will win out. Trump must know that real conservatives aren't jumping on the trump train.

    It's amazing when you listen to the recording that Trump could ever think of denying that it is him...it sooo obvious. It's his voice and he uses his " Huge/ wonderful/ amazing lingo. It's actually entertaining if you listen to him talk about himself ....IF he wasn't the republican nominee...:(

    I think what Ann Coulter said is hilarious. She thought Trump acting as his own publicist was brilliant. He certainly has given the press a run for their money. Trump will be the next President of the U.S.

    Well, it looks like those 116 GOP elites that Pat Buchanan warned about a little while back have decided to make good on their threat to derail Trump and hand the election to Hillary. Neocon warmonger Bill Kristol has announced that a third party candidate will be entering the race, and if that happens you might as well hand the election to Hillary:

    Trump slams 'spoiler' bid after Kristol says independent candidate to run

    Donald Trump took to Twitter Sunday night to slam fresh predictions from Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol that an independent candidate would soon be entering the race for president, warning that a 2016 “spoiler” could swing the race to the Democrats.

    Kristol, along with other conservative pundits, long has been working to attract an independent candidate to run in November amid lingering concerns in some wings of the Republican Party about Trump’s conservative credentials. This effort to date has struggled to recruit a willing candidate, while running into logistical hurdles -- including the rules and deadlines for getting new names on the ballot.

    Yet on Sunday, Kristol teased a forthcoming announcement. This prompted the flurry of tweets from presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, whose claim to the nomination was affirmed last week with a fresh Associated Press tally that showed him with more than the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch it. Trump, while taking some personal shots at Kristol for good measure, warned that an independent bid could hurt the GOP in the fall.

    Former 2016 candidate and Trump backer Ben Carson, speaking Monday on Fox News, echoed Trump’s warnings and invoked the 1992 presidential race as an example.

    “A quarter of a century ago, another Clinton was running for the White House, and it was the entrance of a third-party candidate, Ross Perot, that made it possible for him to win,” Carson said. “Wouldn’t it be ironic if the same thing happened this time?”

    Asked who, if anyone, might run, Carson said he’s heard “rumors like everyone else has” but did not offer a name. But he urged any prospective candidate to “stop for a moment and think about what the implications are of allowing Hillary Clinton” or a candidate like her to win.

    Carson, like Trump, is effectively warning that any independent candidate would at this stage draw votes from the Republican nominee, potentially tilting the election to likely Democratic nominee Clinton.

    I'm hoping most people by now realize Bill Kristol and his father were never true conservatives. They infiltrated the Republican Party. In fact, all they are ever interested in is the future of the state of Israel, and not the people of the USA.

    Correct. Kristol is not a true conservative and if he runs a third party challenger to Trump then Hillary wins and, as Trump just recently noted, the Supreme Court will be gone for a very long time. When push came to shove, Kristol showed his true colors and proved that issues like abortion take a back seat to his warmongering Foreign Policy. With Hillary he will get a continuation of the Bush/Obama Anti-American Foreign Policy. With Trump, he gets "America First." Kristol and his ilk are traitors to America and traitors to their own consciences.

    Article today on Putin's releasing Clinton emails to impact the presidential election. It's from Austin Bay at the Observer.

    Vladimir Putin Has Everything He Needs to Blackmail Hillary Clinton
    American intelligence officers are asking not 'if' but 'when' the Kremlin will dip into its arsenal of Clinton collateral
    By Austin Bay • 06/16/16 8:30am

    RUMINT (Rumor Intelligence) is rife with reports that Russian intelligence agencies are preparing to release emails “hacked” from Hillary Clinton’s rogue Internet email server.

    Agreed, this sounds a bit like a blackmail plot in a 1940s radio detective thriller or a soap opera. Except it isn’t. We live in a world where blood gets spilled.

    I’ve read through several reports about the possible Russian information release, ranging from the staid, professional analysis to the wild Hollywood excitement—breathless. One of the more interesting analyses appeared a few days ago on oilprice.com, a site devoted to analyzing the global oil industry and forecasting trends:

    Ads by ZINC
    “Reliable intelligence sources in the West have indicated that warnings had been received that the Russian Government could in the near future release the text of email messages intercepted from U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server from the time she was U.S. Secretary of State. The release would, the messaging indicated, prove that Secretary Clinton had, in fact, laid open U.S. secrets to foreign interception by putting highly-classified Government reports onto a private server in violation of U.S. law, and that, as suspected, the server had been targeted and hacked by foreign intelligence services.”

    Close readers will note that staid paragraph is freighted with two things: (1) speculation, based on hearsay from unnamed sources; and (2) legitimate worry, based on real experience and awareness of consequences. The speculation is a scenario, a “could be.”

    No one doubts that Clinton’s server could be hacked. Known facts indicate it was probed by hackers and likely hacked. On June 8 the Associated Press published an article summarizing information gleaned from released emails and discussing the likelihood that foreign intelligence services had hacked Clinton’s definitely not-approved off-the-record and therefore illegal system.

    “…because both Clinton’s server and the State Department systems were vulnerable to hacking, the perpetrators could have those original emails, and now the publicly released, redacted versions showing exactly which sections refer to CIA personnel.

    “Start with the entirely plausible view that foreign intelligence services discovered and rifled Hillary Clinton’s server,” said Stewart Baker, a Washington lawyer who spent more than three years as an assistant secretary of the Homeland Security Department and is former legal counsel for the National Security Agency. If so, those infiltrators would have copies of all her emails with the names not flagged as being linked to the agency.”

    The names Baker refers to are those of U.S. intelligence officers. Read the report. He suggests they may have been compromised.

    Writing “Ouch” doesn’t convey my personal dismay. As I noted in an earlier Observer essay:

    “I carried a Top Secret clearance for over three decades. I understand the system we have in place to protect national security information. The system has excesses and inadequacies, but there are common sense procedures for dealing with mistakes, excesses and inadequacies. I respect the system’s purpose because I know the stakes. The system exists for a reason: the world is a dangerous place. Freedom is precious and fragile. Defending America—which still means defending freedom, and I’ll take on anyone who disagrees—requires keeping secrets.”

    I also discussed the possibility thatClinton’s rogue communication system could have compromised the identities of U.S. intelligence officers and human intelligence assets (HUMINT, human intelligence sources, i.e., flesh and blood, people who risk their lives to provide the U.S. with intelligence information).

    That essay mentions the Valerie Plame case, in which a CIA officer’s name was identified by a Bush Administration official. Plame was no longer working under cover. Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald convicted I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, an aide to then-Vice President Cheney on perjury charges, not for revealing Plame’s name. However, Fitzgerald thought his prosecution served a national security purpose. “The notion,” Fitzgerald said, “that someone’s identity could be compromised lightly, to me, compromises the ability to recruit [i.e., for the US to recruit intelligence officers].”

    I agreed with Fitzgerald. Covert intelligence work is difficult. Intelligence officers—who by the very nature of their work are fully engaged in protectingU.S. national security—are vulnerable.

    In Hillary Clinton’s judgment,protecting her political viability was more important than protecting U.S. national security. Keepingher work-related communications from the clutches of federal record maintenance laws and the Freedom of Information Act was more important than following the laws protecting the handling of national security-related information.

    Remember, in the 2008,Clinton claimed she’s prepared to answer the emergency phone call in the wee hours of the morning. Huh?

    But let’s get back to Vlad Putin. It’s now evident to all but the willfully stupid that in their 2012 presidential campaign debate Mitt Romney was right about Russia and Barack Obama wrong: Russia led by Vladimir Putin is a geo-political adversary, if not quite a dyed-in-the-wool enemy.

    Obama mocked him. In February 2014, Putin-led Russia invaded Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula. In March 2014 the Kremlin annexed the region. That smashed the 1994 Budapest Accord, one of the documents that provided the diplomatic framework for political stability in post-Cold War eastern Europe. The Clinton Administration backed the Budapest Accord.

    I think Vladimir Putin has demonstrated a willingness to do anything that gains him an advantage, especially with little risk.

    The FBI is allegedly interested in the Clinton Foundation and is looking for emails on Clinton’s rogue system that may relate to Clinton Foundation business. Agreed, that’s more speculation. American Thinker, commenting on a Washington Examiner report, pointed out that known facts regarding the Clinton Global Initiative (a Foundation initiative) are rather damning and if the Clintons were Republicans we would be treated to a constant torrent of reports about possible corruption. Is it fair to speculate that the Kremlin is also interested in the Clinton Foundation? The Examiner reported on June 13 that “Less than half of the projects undertaken by the Clinton Global Initiative (since 2005) have been completed…” The American Thinker wonders if New York’s attorney general will investigate.

    If they have information on Clinton, they may have information on Obama also.
    Ha! See my post #591 on this thread: http://motheofgod.com/threads/charlie-johnston.6342/page-30
    AND by waiting until Clinton is the Democratic party's nominee, they have insured screwing up the election, at least in my opinion. The Democrats may want the process to start all over again, not sure if that can happen?

    Like a Boss:




    If the Republican power brokers don't start helping Trump soon, Hillary is going to run away with this election. This election is the RNC's to lose. Trump can only do so much by himself.

    I needed a laugh today and someone showed me this video of a potential Vice President of the USA explaining why she claims Native American ancestry:


    I have high cheekbones, have had a few holidays in the US and Red Cloud has a very familiar look about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Cloud I think I could be part Lakota. Poor Elizabeth is just a common or garden Cherokee.
