Just for the Halibut

It’s Friday. Long Labor Day weekend. Great time to spend a few beautiful days with family. Nothing else matters.

Obama Goes Snorkeling After Massively Expanding Marine Reserve

HE NEVER HAS TO WORRY ABOUT SHARK ATTACKS…PROFESSIONAL COURTESY
The Papahānaumokuākea marine reserve was first created by President George W. Bush, but Obama has decided to expand it by over half a million square miles.
The new boundaries of Papahānaumokuākea marine reserve are larger than all national parks combined and over twice the size of Texas, according to Forbes’ Trevor Nace.
The president flew aboard Air Force One to Midway Atoll, before leading a golf cart sightseeing tour with the press.

Bill Clinton aides used tax dollars to subsidize foundation, private email support
Program for ex-presidents paid salaries and benefits to Clinton aides at the center of controversies.

The Act authorizes the GSA to fund the pensions, correspondence, support staff and travel of ex-presidents. It was passed in 1958 to “maintain the dignity” of the presidency by helping former commanders in chief avoid hard times like those that befell Harry S. Truman. He complained that, without help from Uncle Sam, he would be forced to “go ahead with some contracts to keep ahead of the hounds.”
The Clintons did not have this problem.

Hillary Tells American Legion: Hey, You Know I Helped Kill Osama Bin Laden

SHE MIGHT PULL THAT SCAM IN A BLACK CHURCH, BUT I’LL BET SHE DIDN’T FOOL THE LEGIONNAIRES
She stressed to the American Legion her experience on the Senate Armed Services Committee and as secretary of state and noted her role in advising President Barack Obama on the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden, saying she was “deeply honored” to take part.

STATEMENT ON HILLARY CLINTON’S SPEECH TO THE AMERICAN LEGION NATIONAL CONVENTION
FROM TRUMP’S WEBSITE:
Hillary Clinton has shown she is fundamentally unequipped to further the national security interests of the United States and stand up for our veterans. As Secretary of State, she put our country’s diplomacy up for sale to Clinton Foundation donors and exposed classified information on more than 2,000 occasions on her secret email server. And whether it was her votes against veterans medical care in the U.S. Senate or her claims that the ongoing VA wait time crisis wasn’t ‘widespread,’ Hillary Clinton is completely out-of-touch with veterans issues and the systemic mismanagement that has persisted under President Obama’s failed leadership.
WHOLE STATEMENT AT LINK;
THEY HIT HER HARD

Eric Trump: I Hope Matt Lauer “Will Be Fair”… NBC “May as Well Be Super-PAC Against Trump” (VIDEO)
How sad that the family of Republican nominee Donald Trump finds it necessary to beg the liberal media to be fair at the debates.

I WISH TRUMP WOULD ASK RATAZZ WHAT THE CLINTONS GET HER FOR A WEDDING GIFT.

Tim Kaine Struggles To Explain Why Hillary Hasn’t Has a Press Conference in 272 Days
Tim Kaine on CBS This Morning to bash Trump’s visit to Mexico is asked why it’s almost been a year since Clinton has held a formal press conference.
He doesn’t have an answer, but gives it a try…

TRUMP HAS HELD MORE THAN 220 PUBLIC EVENTS
HILLARY:-0-
CBS News correspondent: Clinton is ‘too busy ignoring reporters to insult them’

Clinton did phone in to two cable news shows last weeks, promising, as she has for months, she will do a press conference at some point,” Cordes said while showing footage of her shouting questions to Clinton to no avail.
NOT TO WORRY; THEY HAVE HER BACK. ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL.

New depth plumbed in how far the media go to stop Trump
But thanks to HLN, we have a dramatic graphic representation of extreme media bias, and as a bonus, it is laugh-out-loud funny. Big Fur Hat of iOTWReport spotted the obsessive lengths to which HLN will go:
Clinton Network News affiliate HLN interviewed a man who saved a baby from a hot car.
HLN wouldn’t allow the man’s Trump shirt to get on the air.

Trump doubles down on ‘impenetrable, physical’ wall during immigration speech
Donald Trump, fresh off a hastily arranged visit to Mexico where he met with the country’s president, doubled down Wednesday night on his vow to build a “great wall” along the southern border — and make Mexico pay for it — while outlining a more focused mission for the deportation force he’s promised to create.

In a speech in Phoenix meant to clarify his immigration positions after appearing to soften his stance, the Republican presidential nominee outlined a hardline set of proposals for tackling illegal immigration. He did not, however, definitively call for removing all illegal immigrants in the country.

A 17 year-old black teenager slapped a five year-old girl across the face on a school bus.

BEEN A WHILE SINCE I POSTED ANYTHING FROM THE GIRLS
FBI: Hillary Clinton Could Not Remember Briefings Due to Concussion
RIIIIGHT
Said the report, “Clinton said she received no instructions or direction regarding the preservation or production of records from (the) State (Department) during the transition out of her role as Secretary of State in 2013.

“However, in December of 2012, Clinton suffered a concussion and then around the New Year had a blood clot (in her head). Based on her doctor’s advice, she could only work at State for a few hours a day and could not recall every briefing she received,” the report said.

SHE’S USED THIS GAG BEFORE

Old Fat White Man Plays the Blues

The blues came out of the South at a time when there was real racism. Segregation, discrimination perpetrated by democrats who inflicted misery on poor blacks. The children of slaves and sharecroppers let their feelings out through their music. It was the root of what was to become rock-a-billy and, later, rock and roll. The artists of the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s were heavily influenced by this uniquely American sound. They didn’t make the millions musicians that make it to the top do now. They just did it because it was all they had. Beats the hell out of the garbage they call “rap music” today. Blecchhh. These are some of my favorite blues songs. Some are original, some are covers by later artists. In full disclosure, I sang a couple of these. Ego is not necessarily a bad thing.
