…“Please explain how sending billions of dollars in cash to the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism is in our country’s best interest,” the Senator and Congressman asked AG Lynch.

Lynch decided not to answer them at all.…

“It is frankly unacceptable that your department refuses to answer straightforward questions from the people’s elected representatives in Congress about an important national security issue,” they wrote to Lynch. “Your staff failed to answer any of our questions, and instead provided a copy of public testimony and a lecture about the sensitivity of information associated with this issue.”

“As the United States’ chief law enforcement officer, it is outrageous that you would essentially plead the Fifth and refuse to respond to inquiries regarding your role in providing cash to the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism,” Rubio and Pompeo wrote.…

The FBI has reopened its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s misuse of classified emails, throwing her campaign into disarray. New evidence about her emails emerged when the Bureau started its investigation of the serial sexter Anthony Weiner, Huma Abedin’s estranged husband. The tabloids have now dusted off their Weiner quips and recycled them. The wags at The New York Post won the coveted Bodissey Prize for their boffo headline: “Dickileaks: FBI Reopens E-Mail Case — STROKING GUN Weiner sext probe found dirt on Hill”.

…On this day in 1929 after a steady decline in stock market prices since a peak in September, the New York Stock Exchange began to show signs of panic. And contrary to the liberal news media and most liberal historians this did not cause the Great Depression. Contrary to the liars that feed the public pabulum the stock market is NOT the economy and is not even a good reflector of how the economy is doing. This was especially true in 1929. What was initially experienced in 1929 was a normal cyclic downturn which was turned into a depression by that communist asshole FDR. It is the same thing that happened when Obama took office. The big difference now is instead of soup lines we have welfare lines.

Parents of junior school students in Hampshire were upset when the driver who was bringing their children back from a day trip to London stopped his coach in the middle of the road and got out to pray. The coach was just a mile from the children’s school when the driver unrolled his prayer rug and bowed towards Mecca. The incident had nothing to do with Islam.

US Election 2016

…The Enslaved Press and the Democrat Party are in a blind panic over something.

I’m telling you. Something has them scared silly. So much so that all I’m sensing is big, stinky fear.

Trust me. The polls they present to us are nothing like the polls that are being conducted internally.

If Trump were really DOA, they wouldn’t need to look under every rock for yet another woman to make an easily disproved accusation against him.

My guess is, Trump is doing a hell of a lot better than they want us to know. And they don’t want us to know.…

…“I have only met this accuser once and frankly cannot imagine why she is seeking to make out that Trump made sexual advances on her. Not only did he not do so (and I was present at all times) but it was she that was the one being flirtatious,” Anthony Gilberthorpe said in a note provided to The Post by the Trump campaign.

A young Jordanian man named Feras M. Freitekh grappled with his flight instructor over the controls of a light plane just before it was to land at an airport in Hartford, Connecticut. The instructor was unable to wrest control away from the student soon enough, and the plane crashed and burned on a street in East Hartford near the Pratt & Whitney jet engine plant. The student was killed in the crash, and the instructor was badly burned, and is recovering in the hospital. No one else was injured. Authorities believe that Mr. Freitekh was deliberately attempting to crash the plane to commit suicide, and say the incident was not connected to terrorism. Americans across the country were greatly relieved to learn that the unfortunate incident had nothing to so with Islam.
