Hillary Clinton

Say goodbye Hillary. PLEASE!

Is it fair to call them phony Democrats? Well, yes, because once again, Democrats have proven themselves to be as phony as a nine dollar bill. For months they warned us that if Trump lost, Trump supporters would riot in the streets. Well guess what? Hillary lost and Hillary supporters are rioting in the streets! And it doesn’t stop there; public schools run by liberal Democrats are allowing students to leave their classrooms to protest the election of Donald Trump. Among other things, students have blocked traffic preventing hard-working Americans from going to and from their places of work. Both groups are acting like nasty, spoiled, petulant children. If anyone is surprised by this behavior, they haven’t been paying attention for, let’s see, about twenty years. It’s SOP for the left. Hence, they are phony Democrats.

But wait, there’s more: Hillary’s people have joined Jill Stein’s pursuit of a recount in three states. Yet it was Hillary and her left wing cohorts in the media that chastised Donald Trump for not definitively stating that he would accept the election results no matter what they were. And when Donald Trump brought up the issue of voter fraud during the campaign, Hillary Clinton and others on the left loudly and repeatedly insisted that there is no such thing as voter fraud in America. Yet now they say they are requesting a recount in order to maintain the integrity of our voting process by making certain that there has been no tampering with the votes. Wow! Really? Again, phony Democrats.

Are they embarrassed? Have they no shame? Of course not. Why should they? In their minds they are always right no matter what they do or say. Their profound sense of superiority is so absolute that any opposing views are, to them, not only heretical, they are pathetically stupid. They maintain this attitude even after one of the most far-reaching political defeats in U.S.  history. Not only did Democrats lose the presidency while Republicans maintained control of both houses of Congress, Republicans now control almost 2/3 of state governorships and state legislatures. Not since 1929 have Democrats experienced such a weak power deficit! How did this happen? Why did the voters reject them so overwhelmingly? Is it possible they have finally discovered that they are phony Democrats?

President-elect Trump will soon be our 45th president and I hope he keeps his promise to drain the swamp in Washington. Where to start? How about anything he can find with the Clinton name on it.

Need you ask? Really?

Hillary Clinton

She can’t help herself. Lying is simply a part of who she is.

I just watched a bunch of Hollywood celebs trashing Donald Trump with outrageously false statements about him. These are the same people who told us how great Barack Obama was and to get out there and vote for him. Eight years later we have:

  • A seriously more dangerous world: Because of Obama/Clinton policies Russia and China are expanding their influence throughout the world without restraint, ISIS, which Obama called a “junior varsity” operation, is now in over 30 countries, and radical Islamist terrorism has been unleashed around the globe.
  • A staggering national debt — Obama doubled it adding more debt than all previous presidents combined. Every man, woman, and child now owes over $60,000 as their portion of our debt.
  • An economy headed for a major collapse: 1) We now have 48 million Americans on food stamps. 2) A record level of Americans below the poverty level. 3) The lowest labor participation rate in decades. 4) The cost of living is up while worker wages are down. 5) 70,000 factories have closed since President Bill Clinton signed NAFTA into law.
  • Our southern border continues to be dangerously porous and our immigration laws continue to be ignored.
  • Obamacare is a monumental disaster and if left in place it will destroy our economy.
  • Law and order is collapsing. Our police are being assassinated and more people are being murdered in our inner cities than U.S. troop loses in the Middle East.
  • Our citizens are divided due to Obama/Clinton identity politics in which they pit groups of Americans against each other in order to get votes.

These actors are people who make their living by pretending to be someone or something they are not. They don’t know the first thing about how our economy works, how our constitutional republic works, or for that matter, how the world works. If I had them on a debate stage it would take me about five minutes to expose them as the naive, vacuous, ignorant, intellectual midgets they are. But of course that will never happen because they never allow themselves to be questioned by anyone.

About 70% of Americans believe that our country is headed in the wrong direction, and no wonder; by all honest and fair standards Obama’s presidency has seriously weakened our country on all fronts – the economy, national security, governmental corruption, and much more. This is not hyperbole; it is based on hard facts. So why would anyone want to continue the same destructive policies for another four years? Yet this is exactly what we will get if Hillary Clinton is elected. In fact, it will get worse. Not only does she want open borders (she said it is her dream) but she also wants to stack the Supreme Court with justices who will actively promote liberal/socialist policies even more extensive than the ones that are destroying our country right now.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is orchestrated, contrived; it is what the Clintons always do; it is their MO. This is why she avoided honest, open press conferences for almost an entire year. Her campaign is a tightly controlled production. The result is that we rarely get to see who she really is. But when we do it can be extraordinarily revealing. For example, she trashed millions of Americans by calling them deplorable and unredeemable. As though that was not enough she added words like racists, xenophobes, and other undeserved malicious labels. Does she really expect to heal the country and bring us together this way? Of course that is a rhetorical question. Her intention; her unerring passion and goal is to become the first female president of the United States of America. It’s not about us, we the people, it’s about her and it always has been. She has lied to us for her entire adult life. We literally cannot trust a word she utters. She is also dangerously corrupt. In order to hide her emails from us she used a private server, which was against the law, and when she was caught she did everything in her power to delete them from her server even after she was ordered to preserve them. Yet they were not her emails in the first place; they were ours; they belonged to us!

The FBI called her behavior “extremely careless” and has confirmed that there is a 99% probability that her personal server was hacked by at least 5 outside entities. This means that our enemies most likely got hundreds of highly classified U.S. secrets! They also confirmed that she lied repeatedly to us and to Congress. In addition, she and her husband, Bill Clinton, are still under criminal investigation for their Foundation work. But as though that is not enough to disqualify her, WikiLeaks has revealed massive corruption within The Democratic Party, the media, and of course the Clintons. This is unprecedented in US history. Never before have we had such a dishonest and corrupt candidate for the presidency!

Yes, we have two imperfect candidates, but one is far more dangerous than the other. Hillary Clinton will not only continue the disastrous policies of Barack Obama, she will double down on them. To think otherwise is extraordinarily naïve and perhaps ignorant.

I don’t know if Donald Trump can accomplish all that he says he wants to do. But what he says he wants to do are things that we must do if we are to survive as the greatest nation in world history. Yes, I’m voting for Trump. And all things considered, it is an easy choice.

Political hypocrisy, ignorance, dishonesty, and stupidity in American politics

It was just revealed that eleven years ago the showbiz iteration of Donald Trump said some things that men all over the world have been saying for, let’s see, thousands of years, and Americans, especially Democrats, are shocked. But don’t get the smelling salts; get the truth serum!

While I understand and agree that Mr. Trump’s words were not what we want to hear from a presidential candidate, the fact is that they pale in comparison to the actual transgressions against women by the serial female abuser, President William Clinton.

Yet the people who now condemn Mr. Trump’s words are the same people who dismissed Bill Clinton’s deplorable acts against women. They tell us that Mr. Trump is unfit to be president of the United States because of words he spoke in private over a decade ago. Just think about that for a few moments: A long list of very credible women accused our then president, Bill Clinton, of gross anti-women abuse, including rape. In fact, President Clinton paid at least one of these women, Paula Jones, almost $1 million to essentially get lost. Feminists, feminist organizations like NOW, and the left-wing media simply looked the other way and accused Republicans of mounting a witch hunt.

As though President Clinton’s history of gross abuse of women was not enough to disqualify a sitting president in the minds of these dishonest left-wing hypocrites, it was then revealed that our president was having sexual relations in the White House with Monica Lewinsky, one of his young female interns. Our president was using the power we the people gave him to barter for sexual favors from a starry-eyed young woman and he received those favors in our White House—in and about the Oval Office! Yet once again in a truly amazing display of blatant hypocrisy, the feminists, Democrats, and the left-wing media either looked the other way or accused Republicans of a engaging in a political witch hunt.

At the risk of overburdening an already heavy, yet cogent, point, I’ll throw in President John F. Kennedy just because I can. Not only did his fellow Democrats and their friends in the media hide President Kennedy’s extraordinarily robust philandering, they actually created an alternate reality story about John and Jackie, which they called Camelot. It was quite remarkable. Kennedy was fond of saying that he needed sex at least four times a day in order to function properly. The thing is; most of his needs were not fulfilled with his Queen of Camelot, Jackie Kennedy, but with other women—including Marilyn Monroe. I’m not judging the man (the truth is I liked him), I’m just stating the facts and Camelot it was not. While I’m at it let me pose an obvious question: What do you think you would hear if someone had recorded President John Kennedy in private conversations with his buddies about the countless women he slept with or wanted to sleep with? There’s a little reality check for you.

A few more things to think about

When confronted with his undeniable gross abuse of women while he was in the White House, President Clinton not only denied it, he lied under oath and was subsequently impeached and disbarred.

When confronted with his words of 11 years ago, Mr. Trump acknowledged his indiscretion, owned his words, apologized, and promised the American people that he would never behave that way again.

In other words, Clinton weaseled out and Trump manned up.

When confronted with her husband’s gross abuse of women, Hillary Clinton viciously attacked her husband’s victims and labeled them with any number of demeaning words.

Hillary trashed her husband's victims.

When confronted with her husband’s unsavory words, Melania Trump said the following:

“The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me. This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world.”

In other words, Hillary Clinton revealed her lack of character and rather than acknowledging her husband’s gross abuse of women, she trashed the women he had abused. Compare that to Melania Trump’s honest and humble response.

So that’s what is going on inside the madhouse of American politics. Now they say that because of Trump’s words he is unfit to be president of the United States. So some raunchy locker room banter is worse than actual physical and psychological abuse of women? And Bill Clinton is still regarded as one of the most popular politicians in our country! Really?

We should all agree that we have two imperfect presidential candidates. But this article is about political hypocrisy and media bias. You are being conned. The media and the establishment powers in both political parties are very afraid of Donald Trump. He is a threat to their power. He is a change agent who says he wants to clean up the mess in Washington—the mess made by the corrupt politicians who have slowly but surely taken away the power invested in we the people by our founders as set forth in our Constitution. Hillary Clinton is one of those politicians.

Our country is in deep trouble. We are almost $20 trillion in debt, our federal government is riddled with corruption, and terrorism has spread throughout the world, including right here at home. We have had eight years of weak leadership during which the policies of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have made the world significantly more dangerous. Friendly foreign countries no longer respect or trust us and our enemies no longer fear us. In virtually every poll almost 70 percent of the American people say we are headed in the wrong direction. We have two choices: Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. That’s it. That is our reality. Maybe we should give Donald Trump a chance. If we don’t, we can be sure that nothing will change; in fact, things will only get worse.

Hillary Clinton Is A Pathological Liar

Lying is as natural to Hillary Clinton as breathing.

No honest, objective person can deny that Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar.

The so-called mainstream media are laser-beam focused at Donald Trump with their constant barrage of negative reporting and commentary. Yet they purposefully ignore the really big political story, which is that Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar. She is one of the most dishonest presidential candidates in U.S. History.  But she is in a tight race for the dishonesty title with Barack Obama and her husband “Slick Willy.” Just pause and think about that for a minute. The three most powerful Democrats are demonstrably deeply dishonest. In other words, they are a bunch of liars! This is not my opinion, it is a matter of settled fact.

Of course most of the media are as dishonest as Hillary, Barack, and Willy. Most of them are registered Democrats and they want their candidate to win. It’s that simple. But that does not mean it is right. In fact, it is not only wrong ethically, it is extremely harmful to all of us. In order for we the people to make wise decisions about who we elect to lead us, we need honest, factual information about all the candidates. And before any readers ask me why I am not writing a similar article about Donald Trump, here’s my answer: The media are already doing it (often dishonestly) — every hour of every day.

And why am I writing about Hillary Clinton at BarackObamaFile.com? It’s simple: Hillary Clinton’s politics and policies are interchangeable with Barack Obama’s. A Hillary Clinton presidency would give us another four years of Barack Obama.

Here’s a sampling of Hillary Clinton’s lies

The following list is taken from PolitiFact, which you may know, is not a right-wing website. You should also know that this list of Hillary Clinton lies is far from being complete. It barely probes the surface of a much deeper ocean of deceit. You see, Hillary Rodham Clinton has been lying to the world for a very long time. I repeat: Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar.

  • Said Donald Trump “doesn’t make a thing in America.”Friday, July 29th, 2016 in a speech at Temple UniversityFALSE
    Many Trump products are made in America including his hats, wine and water. Though photos on the internet circulated of one of his hats having been made in China, PolitiFact found that wasn’t true.
  • Said unlike Tim Kaine, who “invested” in education, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence “slashed education funding.” Hillary Clinton on Saturday, July 23rd, 2016 in a campaign rally in Miami, Fla.FALSE
    Indiana has not “slashed” education funding under Pence’s leadership. In fact, it’s been on the rise every year since Pence took office in 2013.
  • Said she “never received nor sent any material that was marked classified” on her private email server while secretary of state.Hillary Clinton on Saturday, July 2nd, 2016 in an interview on MSNBCFALSE
    FBI findings tear holes in Hillary Clinton’s email defense
  • “It was allowed,” referring to her email practices.Hillary Clinton on Thursday, May 26th, 2016 in an interview on ABCFALSE
    Hillary Clinton is sticking to her defense that her use of a private email server while secretary of state was “allowed,” despite a critical independent audit that found it really wasn’t.
  • “Let me say that I don’t think (Bernie Sanders has) had a single negative ad ever run against him.”Hillary Clinton on Sunday, May 22nd, 2016 in an interview on “Meet the Press”FALSE
    Hillary Clinton wrong that no negative ads have hit Bernie Sanders
  • “The Clean Power Plan is something that Sen. Sanders has said he would delay implementing.”Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, March 9th, 2016 in in the Democratic debate in FloridaFALSE
    Hillary Clinton wrongly says Bernie Sanders wants to delay the Clean Power Plan
  • “You are three times more likely to be able to get a mortgage if you’re a white applicant than if you’re black or Hispanic, even if you have the same credentials.”Hillary Clinton on Thursday, February 18th, 2016 in an MSNBC-Telemundo town hallFALSE
    Hillary Clinton is off-base on comparison of mortgage rejections by race
  • “We now have more jobs in solar than we do in oil.”Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, December 8th, 2015 in an editorial board interview with the Concord MonitorFALSE
    For the oil industry, she didn’t look at the whole picture. And self-reported calculations by both the solar and oil and gas industry aren’t close. Oil and gas reports 10 times more jobs.
  • “I am the only candidate on either side who has laid out a specific plan about what I would do to defeat ISIS.”Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, January 20th, 2016 in a speech in Burlington, IowaFALSE
    We don’t see strong evidence for Clinton’s claim that she’s the only member of the 2016 field with a “specific plan.” We rate the claim False.
  • “Every piece of legislation, just about, that I ever introduced (in the U.S. Senate) had a Republican co-sponsor.”Hillary Clinton on Monday, January 18th, 2016 in comments at a campaign organizing eventFALSE
    Her campaign says she meant to cast the statement differently, but we cannot rule based on what candidates intended to say. Clinton introduced a significant amount of legislation without Republican co-sponsors.
  • “We now have driven (health care) costs down to the lowest they’ve been in 50 years.”Hillary Clinton on Sunday, January 17th, 2016 in comments during the South Carolina Democratic presidential debateFALSE
    The Clinton campaign acknowledges that the candidate misspoke.
  • ISIS is “going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”Hillary Clinton on Saturday, December 19th, 2015 in the Dec. 19 Democratic presidential debateFALSE
    We were unable to find any evidence to support this. The Clinton campaign did not provide any evidence that this is already happening — only that it could be happening, or that it may in the future. If ISIS was using Trump for recruitment videos, we would expect a frenzy of media coverage over it. We rate this claim False.
  • The gun industry is “the only business in America that is wholly protected from any kind of liability.”Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, October 7th, 2015 in a town hall-style campaign event in IowaFALSE
    Clinton is talking about a law that says the gun industry is protected from liability in certain instances, but the law also specifies several situations in which the gun industry is susceptible to lawsuits. Further, Congress has passed a number of laws that protect a variety of business sectors from lawsuits in certain situations, so the situation is not unique to the gun industry.
  • The Benghazi probe is “the longest-running congressional investigation ever.”Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, September 30th, 2015 in a campaign TweetFALSE
    The clearest way to measure this is to look at when a special congressional committee dedicated to a specific investigation officially began and ended. By this measure, this claim is wrong. While the Benghazi investigation has lasted about 17 months, we found other investigations that lasted 30, 40 and even 90 months. And the number of longer investigations only goes up once probes by permanent committees are included. We rate the claim False.
  • Says Scott Walker rejected legislation to make college loan payments tax deductible and the result was “to raise taxes on students.”Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, August 11th, 2015 in a speechFALSE
    The Republican governor hasn’t stated support for Democratic-sponsored measures that would have provided the tax deduction, but he has never rejected such legislation, either. Since Walker has been in office, the measures have never been approved by the GOP-controlled Legislature and therefore have never been sent to the governor’s desk. Moreover, failing to pass legislation that would have provided a tax deduction doesn’t mean that taxes on student loan borrowers were increased. We rate Clinton’s statement False.
  • “Not one of the 17 GOP candidates has discussed how they’d address the rising cost of college.”Hillary Clinton on Sunday, August 23rd, 2015 in a tweetFALSE
    While some Republican hopefuls haven’t had much to say on the issue, it’s not accurate to say none of them have. Rubio has made higher education spending a major plank of his campaign, and other candidates like Christie and Fiorina have set forth ideas and positions. Other candidates have at least mentioned the subject at times. We rate Clinton’s statement False.
  • Hedge fund managers “pay less in taxes than nurses and truck drivers.”Hillary Clinton on Monday, May 18th, 2015 in an appearance in Mason City, IowaFALSE
    Clinton said that hedge fund managers “pay less in taxes than nurses and truck drivers.” She is certainly wrong for dollar amounts, which is what her statement was about. If she meant to say tax rates, that’s more complicated, and the data doesn’t clearly back up the point. Here, we’re looking at just taxes paid, so we rate her claim False.
  • Says “all my grandparents” immigrated to America.Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, April 15th, 2015 in a roundtable chat in IowaFALSE
    It’s very clear from the evidence that not all of Hillary Clinton’s grandparents were immigrants. In fact, only one was. We rate Clinton’s statement False.
  • “If you are driving on average in America this summer, you’ll save — according to Department of Energy figures — about $70.”Hillary Clinton on Sunday, May 4th, 2008 in IndianapolisFALSE
    You only get to $70 by calculating the savings for a family of four, which has two vehicles. Leaving out that qualifier makes a big difference. In fact, if $70 is the savings for a family of four with at least two vehicles, it seems likely that the average savings for an individual would be closer to half of $70 than the $70 Clinton claims. We rate her statement False.
  • “I actually started criticizing the war in Iraq before (Obama) did.”Hillary Clinton on Saturday, April 5th, 2008 in Eugene, Ore.FALSE
    Clinton might be showing moxie by trying to reframe the Iraq issue in a way that puts her on top, but the facts don’t support it. On the statement that she criticized the war first after Obama became a senator, the Truth-O-Meter says False.
  • “So that 2005 energy bill was a big step backwards on the path to clean, renewable energy. That’s why I voted against it.”Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, January 15th, 2008 in debate in Las VegasFALSE
    No, it was a boon to renewable fuel industry. We rate her statement False.
  • “It’s just outrageous that under President Bush, the National Institutes of Health have been basically decreased in funding.”Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 in Philadelphia, Pa.FALSE
    NIH funding is up under Bush. We rate her statement False.
  • English “is our national language…if it becomes official, that means in a place like New York City you can’t print ballots in any other language.”Hillary Clinton on Sunday, June 3rd, 2007 in New Hampshire.FALSE
    An official designation alone would not cancel government programs, and although several pieces of legislation now pending in Congress would repeal some federal mandates on things such as non-English ballots, none of the bills would go so far as to prohibit governments from helping non-English speakers as Clinton said. A 2000 presidential executive order, signed by Bill Clinton, makes it federal policy that multilingual services are considered to be among the rights guaranteed in federal civil rights law. We rate her statement False.

A sampling of Hillary Clinton’s lies in news coverage (with links)

44 More Lies Turn Up In Hillary’s EmailsInvestor’s Business Daily — August 10, 2016
Judicial Watch, which has been doing all the heavy lifting to expose the extent of Hillary Clinton’s scandalous use of a private email account while secretary of state, released dozens of emails on Tuesday that shouldn’t exist.

Hillary Clinton’s long list of lies
Perhaps this election might show that we are tired of career politicians who lie to us and don’t accomplish anything but lining their pocketbooks. At least Trump did not create this massive debt we have — Clinton was a senator while this piled up — and he created jobs instead of destroying them like Clinton wants to do with more regulations. Except for the banks and companies that pay her campaign!

FBI: Everything Hillary Said About Emails Was a Lie. But No ProsecutionBreitbart News — July 5, 2016
FBI director James Comey announced on Tuesday morning that he would not be recommending that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton be prosecuted for mis-handling classified information. But in the course of his presentation, he demonstrated that literally everything she and her campaign had told America about her email servers was a complete lie.

5 ways Comey (FBI Director) contradicted Clinton’s email claimsPolitico.com — July 5, 2016
FBI Director James Comey tore up Hillary Clinton’s email script on Tuesday. During a highly unusual news conference, Comey directly contradicted several of Clinton’s statements about her private server — refuting her claims that she turned over all her work-related messages as well as her vow that she didn’t send or receive “anything that was classified at the time.”

Fact check: Hillary Clinton’s false and misleading claimsUSA Today — July 24, 2016
In advance of the Democratic National Convention, which begins July 25 in Philadelphia, we present a wrap-up of some of the more egregious falsehoods from Hillary Clinton, who is set to accept her party’s nomination for president later this week.

It is a most amazing thing! Hillary Clinton lies so regularly and so easily. Yet millions of Liberal Democrats seem not to care at all about it. That is a truly sad and depressing statement on where we are as a nation. And Hillary Clinton’s lies are just one element of who she is. Yes, there is more to come — think corruption.
