LIES AND THE LIAR WHO TOLD THEM

It is well known that Hillary is a pathological liar. But that seems to be no big deal to those who would follow her into hell by casting the fatal vote against America's future. There does not seem to be anything the rest of us can do but continue to bring to the surface, over and over again, all of her lies in the hope of opening the eyes of her blind followers.  So here are her five most blatant lies about her email debacle.
  • Date: March 2015 [Press conference]
    • Hillary Clinton:  “The system we used was set up for President Clinton’s office. And it had numerous safeguards. It was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches.”
    • LIE!      Inspector General's Findings: It was reported there were multiple e-mail hacking attempts on Hillary’s server, and she chose not to report those findings to the State Department. Clinton’s server was connected to the internet in ways that made it far more vulnerable to hackers. It allowed users to connect openly over the internet to control it remotely.
  • Date: September 2015 [AP interview]
    • Hillary Clinton: “What I did was allowed. It was allowed by the State Department. The State Department has confirmed that.”
    • LIE!     Inspector General's Findings: There is no evidence Hillary Clinton was granted any approval, nor confirmation from the State Department. Top State Department officials interviewed said the departments that oversee security “did not – and would not – approve” her use of a personal account because of security concerns. Hillary has since changed her statement to “I thought it was allowed.”
  • Date: September 2015 [NBC interview]
    • Hillary Clinton: “It was fully above board. Everybody in the government with whom I emailed knew that I was using a personal email. The people in the government knew that I was using a personal account. The people I was emailing to on the dot gov system certainly knew and they would respond to me on my personal email.”
    • LIE!     Inspector General's Findings: While some of Hillary’s close aids knew about the server, senior department officials who worked for her, including the undersecretary responsible for security, claimed they were NOT asked to approve or review the use of her private server. Officials were also NOT aware of the myriad of e-mails Hillary was sending through her private server per day, which would greatly increase the chances of a security breach.
  • Date: September 2015 [NBC interview, part 2]
    • Hillary Clinton:  “In the fall, I think it was October of last year (2014), the State Department sent a letter to previous secretaries of state asking for help with their record-keeping, in part because of the technical problems that they knew they had to deal with. And they asked that we, all of us, go through our e-mails to determine what was work-related and to provide that for them.”
    • Oh Man What A LIE!     Inspector General's Findings: That simply didn't happen. The State Department raised concerns about Hillary’s compliance and cooperation with federal record-keeping laws years past, and the attention did not appear to be welcoming by her.  Furthermore, two employees in the Office of Information Resources Management voiced concerns about her use of a personal email account in 2010, stressing the information being transmitted needed to be preserved to satisfy federal records laws. They were infamously told “never to speak of the Secretary’s personal email system again” by the department director.
  • Date: May 2016 (CBS interview)
    • Hillary Clinton:  “I think last August I made it clear I’m more than ready to talk to anybody anytime.”
    • Amazing LIE!     Inspector General's Findings: Completely false. Hillary declined through her lawyer to be interviewed for the report multiple times, while former secretaries John Kerry, Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell were always open to discussion. She will be required to speak to the FBI as part of a separate criminal investigation into possible security breaches related to her private server.
Most of this I pulled from Dennis Michael Lynch's website.  I recommend you check him out. He always has a good read going.

In my next post, we will take a look at the Benghazi lies. Since nearly every statement she makes is some form of another falsehood, research in this topic is actually pretty easy.

MY QUANDARY

What to do . . . what to do.  I was (still am) a Ted Cruz guy.  He has just what I was looking for in a president.  Although he's a Senator, he is clearly an outsider who walks his own path.  He's brilliant, he loves his country and I had no doubt that he would have made America great again. Oh . . . yeah that's not Cruz's motto, that's Trump's.



So here we are. Trump is the presumptive candidate for the Republican Party's nomination for Leader of the Free World.  Donald Trump - A man with an ego so large that he had his own reality show where he got to "fire" big-time celebrities each week in front of the entire country. I never really liked that show.  Donald Trump - Who for all practical purposes I always thought was a Democrat. Donald Trump - The man who has lost more cash in investment schemes than 99% of Americans have ever owned.  Donald Trump . . . really?


The answer to that is "yes" - really.  Barring any overt shenanigans by the elite class of the Republican Party at the convention, he's our man.  At least he is the man that conservative idol worshipers want.  He's the man that, what I've always called "fringe white voters", are all about. (These people were also Ross Perot and Ron Paul worshipers). And he's the man who used over-the-top defamatory and slanderous rhetoric throughout the primary debates to get to where he is today.


But, there is another voting group in the mix of Trump supporters.  These are people that I respect and admire.  People like one of my best friends that, on nearly all political discussions we've ever had, we agreed down the line.  People like conservative talking-heads that helped me through the years to form my own political dogma. And politicians that I actually admire for their principled stances on serious matters.  So . . .what's up with that?  What am I missing?


I've been pushing myself to understand this paradox in order to see if I can relate enough to the possibility of Donald Trump being the Leader of the Free World.  Here is where I am so far.


- The fact that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee is a Yuuge factor.
- Trump appears to be malleable.  Meaning, if his advisers say he's wrong, he will adapt.
- He has always been one who does what he says he'll do. Not just promises, but facts.
- He's not long on holding grudges. He gets pissed off and then makes up. (except for Rosie).
- He is willing to appoint the brightest and the best rather than his cronies.
- I really believe he will immediately address the abhorrent veteran's debacle.
- Although he's not a Fair Tax guy. Any overhaul of the IRS is a positive step.
- His immigration reform promises are spot on.
- No country has ever had to face a man like Trump at the negotiating table.
- He is the most outside outsider ever running for POTUS.

So yes, I'll vote for him.  My "Never Trump" friends on my Twitter page should maybe back off a bit and evaluate the alternatives if their movement succeeds and we have them to thank when Hillary Clinton takes the Oath of Office next January.
