1. My husband is not a sexual predator and I don't support his abuse of women.
2. Bill and I have a normal marriage, and any assertions that by
defending him against allegations of aberrant sexual behavior I enable
him to continue to prey upon vulnerable women are false.
3. Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey
and all the others who have claimed to have had sex, been sexually
harassed, assaulted or raped by Bill Clinton are just white trash
publicity seekers.
4. Bill did not have sex with Monica Lewinsky; allegations that he did are part of a vast right wing conspiracy.
5. I was shocked to discover that Bill had had sex with Monica Lewinsky,
but I forgave him because I love him and he had never done anything
like that before and he hasn’t since.
6. I do not have a vicious temper and reports that my ripping into Vince
Foster on the morning he committed suicide may have driven him over the
edge are unfounded.
7. I never have had temper tantrums or exhibited violent behavior like
throwing ashtrays or lamps when I found out about something I didn’t
like or couldn’t get my own way.
8. Reports that I told White House staff and Secret Service agents to
step into a closet or hide behind a curtain because I didn’t want to
have to see them when I walked down the halls are simply stories made up
by an unscrupulous reporter.
9. Had Hillary Care been implemented it would have provided high quality
affordable health care to all Americans while preserving their freedom
to choose their doctors and their plans.
10. I had no idea where the Rose Law firm billing records were.
11. The Whitewater land deal was totally above board and there was nothing illegal or even unethical about it.
12. When I said I came under sniper fire when I landed in Sarajevo I wasn’t lying.
13. As Secretary of State, the ruling junta in Myanmar did not play me
for a fool by pretending to embrace democratic reforms; that they
slipped back into authoritarianism the minute I normalized relations and
lifted sanctions is just a coincidence.
14. As Secretary of State I reset relations with Russia so that now the
former republics and satellite states of the old Soviet Union have
nothing to fear and can breathe easily knowing that Russian aggression
has been checked.
15. As Secretary of State it was not my fault that the US didn’t sign a
single free trade agreement during my tenure or that the Trans Pacific
Partnership never got off the ground while China’s Asia Infrastructure
Investment Bank is a roaring success.
16. I can’t be held responsible for the fact that after our pivot to
Asia the US position in the Far East is the weakest it has been since
the start of the Second World War and that China is now the dominant
Pacific power.
17. Our proposed Free Trade of the America’s Agreement also never got
off the ground while Mercosur is another success, but that wasn’t my
fault either; South America just isn’t that important so it would have
been foolish of me to waste my time on that area of the world.
18. There was no need for me to focus my attentions on sub-Saharan
Africa because terrorist groups like Boko Haram and al-Qaeda in the
Islamic Mahgreb do not pose a threat to the United States or our
interests in Africa.
19. The Arab Spring was a success and we were right to support the Muslim Brotherhood’s takeover of Egypt.
20. Libya is not the failure my critics make it out to be.
21. I might have been mistaken in attributing the attack on our
Consulate in Benghazi to a despicable video, but what difference does it
make now why the Consulate was burned and three Americans died
Americans.
22. I don’t remember signing a waiver to allow the heavily fortified CIA
annex and the virtually defenseless Benghazi Consulate to be in
separate locations rather than co-located as required by law.
23. I do not remember refusing to increase security at the Consulate and
refusing to close the Consulate and withdraw our people when it became
clear that it was only a matter of time before a serious attack on the
compound would occur, but then I can’t be expected to read every email
from an ambassador even if it is marked urgent, immediate attention
required.
24. Marines were not assigned to protect the Consulate in Benghazi
because the Consulate did not house or process any classified
information. [This is a ridiculous lie, but fortunately the American
people are too uninformed to realize that every one of our diplomatic
posts contain and process classified information, and the mainstream
media was too in love with me to point out what a whopper of a lie this
is when it first appeared in my book,Hard Choices.]
25. I knew we could rely on locally hired Libyan security guards to
protect our people, which is why we didn’t even bother to tell the
commander of Africa Command, General Ham, that we had a Consulate in
Benghazi.
26. Our program of covertly arming groups who claimed to be moderate
Syrian rebels was a great success, and any reports that the weapons we
provided fell into the hands of al-Qaeda or ISIL are unfounded.
27. Peace and stability in Yemen is one of my stellar foreign policy
accomplishments, and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and the Houthi
rebels are no longer significant threats.
28. Iraq is better off today than when I took office.
29. My efforts as Secretary of State have made a peaceful resolution of
the continuing conflicts in Syria and Afghanistan possible.
30. I traveled to 112 countries as Secretary of State, and as a result
of my efforts championing women’s rights, women are better off,
especially in Muslim nations, than ever before.
31. The world is a safer place today than when I took office, and America is held in higher regard than ever before.
32. I did not violate the Federal Records act by using a private server
for my email communications because I never used my private server to
send, receive or store classified or sensitive information. [Now that’s
another whopper, but then Goebbels was correct when he said, “If you
tell a big lie enough, and keep repeating it, people will eventually
come to believe it.” Besides no one will ever be able to get their hands
on my server so I’m safe.]
33. I didn’t have a private server so I could delete communications that
might prove that I had violated the law such as soliciting donations
for the Clinton Foundation from foreign, especially Middle Eastern
governments.
34. Allegations that I used my position to help my brother obtain
contracts by leaning on DHS to grant permanent residence status to some
unsavory characters are not true.
35. Anyone who says I don’t deserve to be elected President is engaging in a war on women.

Clinton was kicked out of Oxford for rape. This has been very hushed over but if you do the legwork it's there.
Do you know this Guy?
His name is Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937.
Then you'll probably say, "Who is Ed Mezvinsky?"
Well, he is a former Democrat congressman who represented
Iowa's 1st congressional district in the United States House
of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977.
He sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided
the fate of Richard Nixon.
He was outspoken saying that Nixon was a crook and a disgrace to
politics and the nation and should be impeached.
He and the Clintons were friends and very politically
intertwined for many years.
Ed Mezvinsky had an affair with NBC News reporter Marjorie Sue
Margolies and later married her after his wife divorced him.
In 1993, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, then a freshman Democrat in
Congress, cast the deciding vote that got President Bill Clinton's
controversial tax package through the House of Representatives.
In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty
to 31 of 69 counts of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.
Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people
via both a Ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams.
He was found guilty and sentenced to 80 months in federal prison.
After serving less than five years in federal prison, he was released in
April 2008 and remains on federal probation.
To this day, he still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.
About now you are saying, "So what!"
Do you know Marc and Chelsea Mezvinsky?
That's right; Ed Mezvinsky is Chelsea Clinton's father-in law.
Now Marc and Chelsea are in their early thirties and purchased
a 10.5 million dollar NYC apartment (after being married in George Soros' mansion).
Has anyone heard mention of any of this in any of the media?
If this guy was Jenna or Barbara Bush's, or better yet, Sarah Palin's daughter's father-in- law, the news would be an everyday headline for a month and every detail would be reported over and over.
And yet liberals say there are no double standards in political reporting.
And people are already talking about Hillary as our next President!
Think!

“As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”
“Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”
“Islam has always been part of America”

Pro Race and Racism
Saw this posted yesterday and find it again quite hypocritical and couldn't be farther from the truth!
All you have to do is ask a Black Panther or look to the videos I posted in previously!
Hypocrisy
Here we go again with more hypo critic nonsense, which just speaks to just how low morality has fallen in this country!
We have Hillary Clinton front runner for Dem. nomination, yet shes under investigation by the FBI, surrounded in scandal involving her foundation, not to mention her other lies. Yet this country allows her to continue to run for the highest office in America.
Now we have;
Maj. Jason Brezler USMC Reservist, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, works full-time for the New York Fire Department. Who self-reported that he improperly stored classified documents will be separated from the Marine Corps Reserve following a decision by Assistant Navy Secretary Juan Garcia. After the service found that he had been keeping it on an "unsecured hard drive".
The ridiculousness of this is Hillary has 51% of hypocrites waiting to vote for her. It's sad to think she is supported by so many who are so easily fooled!
When it comes to this woman and the allegations alleged against her, one thing to think about is would you be getting a pass?

Few things to think about when it come to the direction of America
Here are six Conundrums in the United States of America:
1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.
2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
Think about it!
And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.
Makes you wonder who is doing the math.
These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment.
We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
And here's another one worth considering...
We constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money What's interesting is the first group "worked for their money," but the second didn’t. Think about it.
Last but not least, We are cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.

Please educate yourself before you vote
With 18 months to go please educate yourself before you vote!!
Don't jump on the band wagon as so many did the last go around. Ask this woman the tough questions, do not give her a pass just because of the push for the first woman President.
Is she qualified?
What has she accomplished?
Can we trust her?
What is her agenda?
What are her policies?
She says she wants to be the Champion for the middle class and the 99% yet she is in the 1%
We don't need a "Champion" for our President!!
Talks of CEO pay yet look at what she brings in per speaking engagement
Goes on so called van tour to speak with real people , lets look at these real people
She has stepped down from the Clinton Foundation, Limited who they will take donations from now. All due to her running for President. She needs to be asked would these changes have been made if she wasn't running for President?
Can imagine the answer we would get
What difference does it make!!!
Most of all whats the real reason she needed her own server?
I can only imagine if it was George Bush who had is own server and he selected what he was to turn over and then wipe it clean, the story would be quite different.

Will Obama draw another redline only this time in the ocean?
It's redickulous how this administration works, we are for Iran fighting in Iraq but not for them moving weapons into Yemen.
They think they can trust Iran when it comes to nuclear weapons. Really Really they have to be on drugs!!

Battle's of Ramsour's Mill and King's Mountain
These battles are not as well known as many others of the American
Revolution. But they played a big part in the turning of the
Revolution, and insuring there would be 13 colonies rather than 10
should the British and the Loyalists had won and invaded North Carolina.
The Battle of Ramsour's Mill took place on June 20, 1780 in or near Tryon Co. N.C. which is near present day Lincolnton N.C. Where close to 400 American militia Patriots defeated 1,300 Loyalists militiamen. This battle did not involve any regular army forces from either side, rather it was fought between families, neighbors, friends and in my family's case brothers.
My Great Grandfather[6] Thomas Costner who was a Patriot / Whigs and Great Uncle[6] Peter Costner who was a Loyalists / Tories fought in this battle. Peter also had fought under General Cornwallis. Peter Costner was killed in this battle.
Casualties were difficult to assign since almost no one was wearing any sort of uniform. Estimates of dead on each side were between 50 to 70, with about 100 wounded on each side. The battle in which muskets were sometimes used as clubs because of little ammunition. In their defeat the Loyalists so badly demoralized that they never organized again in that area.
King's Mountain ended up being a pivotal moment in the history of the American Revolution. This battle fought on Oct.07,1780 by up to 900 Patriots (Overmountain men) without orders, formal military training, uniforms or provisions, and with no promise of pay, against a force of over 1,100 Loyalists lead by the only British soldier in the force Major Ferguson.
The Patriots surrounded the Loyalists who were on the top of the mountain, and a battle between bayonet and rifle ensued. The Patriots attacked with a battle cry "tarleton quarter" (no prisoners). The Loyalists attempting to drive back the assaulting Patriots at the point of bayonets were shot down until they were driven back themselves and confined in a group on the summit.
This battle lasted all of about 65 minutes and the Loyalists suffered 290 killed, 163 wounded, and 668 taken prisoner. The Patriots suffered 29 killed and 58 wounded. There were at least 10 Loyalists hung for numerous reasons one being treason of the American cause.
With this surprising victory the King's Mountain Men provided a great boost to the Patriots morale and the American Revolution. The Loyalists of the Carolina Back Country were broken as a military force. And with the destruction of Major Freguson's command as well as the treat of the Patriot militia in the mountains caused Lord Cornwallis to cancel his plans to invade North Carolina. He instead evacuated Charlotte and retreated to South Carolina.
Again my Great Grandfather[6] Thomas Costner took part in this battle, in which it helped to maintain the 13 colonies and form this nation.

American Revolution and my families ties
What I have found is very interesting and not very well know as it predates the Declaration of Independence signed on July 04,1776 which takes all the spot light from those times.
"The Tryon Resolves"
On August 14, 1775 some North Carolina colonial men, as many as four dozen or so, met at the Tryon County courthouse. That is, they crowded into Christian Mauney’s isolated log house at a country cross roads thirty some miles west of Charlotte.
There they drafted and copied into the minutes a document they called “An Association.” The meaning, now long obsolete, was a written pledge to carry out an enterprise. At the risk of their fortunes and their lives they were pledging to take up arms against British soldiers in defense of what they saw as their natural rights under the British constitution. The men at Mauney’s resolved that their “Association” should “be Signed by the Inhabitants of Tryon County.”
The document said,
The unprecedented, barbarous & bloody
actions Committed by the British Troops on our American Brethren near
Boston, on the 19th of April & 20th of May
last together with the Hostile opperations & Traiterous Designs now
Carrying on by the Tools of Ministerial Vengeance & Despotism for
the Subjugating all British America, Sugest to us the painful Necessity
of having recourse to Arms, for the preservation of those Rights &
Liberties which the principles of our Constitution and the Laws of God
Nature & nations have made it our Duty to Defend.
We therefore the Subscribers freeholders & Inhabitants of Tryon County, do hereby
faithfully unite Ourselves under the most Sacred ties of Religion Honor & Love of
Our Country, firmly to Resist force by force in defense of our Natural Freedom &
Constitutional Rights against all Invasions, & at the same time do Solemnly Engage
to take up Arms and Risque our lives and fortunes in Maintaining the Freedom of our
Country whenever the Wisdom & Council of the Continental Congress or our provincial
Convention shall Declare it necessary, & this Engagement we will Continue in & hold
Sacred, till a Reconciliation shall take place between Great Britain & America on
Constitutional principles, which we most ardently desire. And we do firmly agree to hold all such persons Inimical to the liberties of America, who shall refuse to Subscribe this Association.
These are the “subscribers”—those who inscribed their names or made their mark under
"An Association" These are the “subscribers”—those who inscribed their names or made their mark under
On the right side of this document is the signature of my Great Uncle[6] Jacob Costner.
And on this marker placed in 1919 by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Jacob Costner was also a Major in the North Carolina Militia, up until his death
Jan. 16, 1779 with his wife Elizabeth as they tried to cross the swollen South Fork River and drowned.
He was a true American Patriot!

Coming to America in 1748 verse's today
My family came to this country in 1748 from Rotterdam Holland. On the sailing ship Patience, Captained by John
Brown
it carried 122 men over the age of 16 (total passengers was not given).
Upon arrival at Philadelphia on Sept. 16, 1748, males over the age of 16 were taken to the City Hall for the oath of allegiance to the government, then led back to the ship. Those who had their passage money, or could borrow it, were released. The others were consigned to merchants, and announcements were printed in newspapers. Buyers bargained with the passengers for a stated period of service, and paid the merchant the passage money and any other debts. Families were often divided on arrival, as children were 'sold' to pay the family's passage.
Passengers who were sick were not allowed to land. If there was infectious disease on board, the ship had to remove one mile from the port. In 1743, the Assembly at Philadelphia purchased Fisher Island, later named Province Island, its buildings to be used as a hospital. In 1754, 253 persons died there, as recorded in the accounts of one undertaker. Burial expenses were assumed by the merchants to whom the passengers had been consigned.
Take note nothing was given to them when they arrived they had to pay to get off the ship and swear an OATH OF ALLEGIANCE! Should they not be able to pay for passage they had to work to get off the ship and or unfortunately some choose to sell their children.
Now lets compare today's so called immigrants and I 'm talking the ones who choose not to follow our immigration LAWS and just come here;
They are given food,clothing,housing,monies,education, health care and worst of all RIGHTS as if they were American Citizens. When in reality they are illegal invaders of this country!

Fast food workers and pay raise
A little something to think about when these unskilled fast food workers want a major pay raise.
For those fast food employees striking for $15 an hour, lets do a little math. At $15 an hour Johnny Fry-Boy would make $31,200 annually. An E1 (Private) in the military makes $18,378. An E5 (Sergeant) with 8 years of service only makes $35,067 annually.
So Sally McBurgerflipper is telling us she deserves as much as those kids getting shot at, deploying for months in hostile environments, and Ebola infected countries. As well as putting their asses on the line everyday protecting her unskilled butt.
Here's the deal to all Baconator's you are working in a job designed for a kid in high school who is learning how to work in a job setting, earning money for gas and hanging out with their equally goofy high school pals.
This job is and was never intended to raise and or support a family.
IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN THIS AS YOUR LIFE LONG PROFESSION YOU HAVE FAILED!
If you do not want minimum wage don't have minimum skills!!
