Life, family and religious values won big this week.Political correctness and radical left-wing causes lost. Word is the MSM is suffering vapors and has retired to the boudoir to dab lavender oil on its temples.
65% of Ohio voters rejected an initiative to legalize marijuana, despite pot supporters having out-spent opponents 20-to-1.
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant easily won re-election, despite his public support for ending legal abortion in his state.
Pro-Life Republican Matt Bevin is now governorof the usually solidly Democrat state of Kentucky. Reports show that his defense of Kim Davis was a huge factor in his victory.
Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall easily won re-election against a Democrat opponent who had spewed the usual traditional values are “divisive, mean-spirited, and discriminatory” crap.
Uber liberal San Franciscans voted out the Sheriff responsible for freeing the illegal immigrant who subsequently went on to viciously kill Kate Steinle.
Republican Mike Harmon successfully challenged Democrat incumbent, Adam Edelen, for State Auditor. Edelen spent nearly $1 million on the campaign; Harmon spent about $40,000. Edelen had said he planned to run for Senator Rand Paul’s seat in 2016. Yeah, no.
Houston voters, who usually lean solidly Democrat, rejected the radical transgender lawthat would have forced men to put up with women and women to put up with men using their restrooms, showers, and changing rooms. The lesbian mayor of Houston demanded opposition ministers deliver copies of their sermons to her, then refused to put the issue on the ballot. She was overturned by a unanimous state Supreme Court decision and the law was voted down 63% to 37%.
“The Democrats are taking yet another electoral drubbing at the polls tonight and President Obama’s legacy of historic down-ballot failures remains untouched. He has now lost his party’s hold on governorships, state houses, local offices, the U.S. Senate and House.
“No Democratic President in modern American history has selfishly done more to advance his own political interests, while simultaneously destroying his political party’s future. That’s a fact.”
The Commission that plans presidential debates advertises itself as “non-partisan”and lists politically neutral associations for all commission leadership members, even for people who have been very active in politics.
For example, Leon Panetta’s bio lists him only as “Chairman, Panetta Institute for Public Policy.”Puh-leeze. Panetta served eight terms (1994 to 1997) as the Representative (D) for CA-17. Then, he went on to serve in not one, but three high level positions within Democrat presidential administrations!
1994-1997: Clinton’s WH Chief of Staff
2009-2011: Obama’s CIA Director
2011-2013: Obama’s Defense Secretary
They also list four former presidents as Honorary Co-Chairmen;however, none of them arethe two still-living Republicans. N.b., I removed the two dead Republicans from the list when I made this graphic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Graham_Buffett< Philanthropist son of Warren Buffet, father of Howard Warren Buffet. Warren and Howard W. are Democrats. Howard G.’s bio does not mention politics and I found no record of political donations for him. However, organizations he is affiliated with, such as National Geographic Council of Advisors and World Wildlife Fund, lean left.
http://www.mrc.org/profiles-bias/abc%E2%80%99s-charles-gibson-conventional-liberal< MRC analysis of Gibson’s political leanings = “typical media elite liberal.” Reading through the selection of quotations is enlightening. Jimmy Carter “the greatest ex-President of modern times.” Bill Clinton “fascinating.” Republican platform not “open” or “compassionate.” Support for gun control “By my count, we have more states rejecting new gun control legislation than have passed it. We have 15 states that have passed prohibitions on cities suing gun manufacturers. That hardly seems like progress.” There’s lots more.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_%26_Company < Griffen is managing director of Allen & Co, “a small, privately held boutique investment bank” that “specializes in the media and entertainment sectors.” Given the heavy left-wing slant of media and entertainment, I’m guessing he leans left.
https://www.wilsoncenter.org/person/antonia-hern%C3%A1ndez< Antonia Hernandez, President and CEO, California Community Foundation, former President and General Counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense, former counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, former staff attorney with the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice. I’m guessing she leans left.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_I._Jenkins< Rev. John I. Jenkins, President of Notre Dame University. Despite claiming a commitment to upholding the Catholic identity of Notre Dame, he invited pro-abortion president Obama to attend Notre Dame’s 2009 commencement ceremony and to receive an honorary degree and allowed performances of The Vagina Monologues and showings of gay films on campus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Lehrer< Jim Lehrer, former executive editor and a former news anchor for the PBS NewsHour, frequent presidential debate moderator. Although he claims to be “dead serious” about his neutrality, MRC’s analysis of his debate questions shows a pro-Democrat slant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidley_Austin< Newton N. Minow, Senior Counsel in Chicago Sidley Austin, the law office that employed both Michelle then-Robinson and Barack Obama. The NY office hired Bernardine Dohrn.
http://www.nytimes.com/1985/03/12/us/partisan-no-political-you-bet.html< Dorothy S. Ridings, Former President, League of Women Voters of the United States. I can’t find specifics about her political affiliations, but this is in this 1985 interview with the NYT: “‘A lot of people confuse being political, which we surely are, with being partisan, which we surely are not.’ … She finds it amusing that some say the league is partial to Democrats, since demographically its average member is a moderate Republican. In fact, she said, she fits the profile.” She then cites her demographics (age, education, income, marital status, children, race) but NOT her party! It seems to me, if she was a Republican, she would’ve included that in her list of “I’m so typical of LWV membership”, KWIM? Plus, she started out as a journalist and the LWV was founded in Chicago. I think it’s a safe bet she leans left.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Schieffer < Bob Schieffer (retired) – 46 years at CBS, including Face the Nation moderator, CBS Evening News anchor, 60 Minutes host. CBS would like us to believe Schieffer was non-partisan. His record shows him to be a slobbering Democrat who thinks poofing Obama’s pillows is unbiased journalism.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jeffrey-meyer/2015/04/09/cbs-oozes-giant-journalism-amazing-bob-schieffer-retiring< In 2009, Bob Schieffer said of Alaska’s Governor Sarah Palin (who had had the highest approval rating of any governor anywhere anytime), “My guess is she’s not ever going to run for anything and I think if she did, I don’t think she would get very far….I think she’ll be a great attraction out, you know, as an amusement.” In 2013, he said some lines from Obama’s State of the Union speech reminded him of “what Lincoln said in the Gettysburg Address.” In 2014, he asked Obama questions like, “You had a tough summer. We saw the rise of ISIS, the outbreak of Ebola, trouble in the Ukraine, illegal immigrants coming across the border. Did you ever go back to the residence at night and say, ‘Are we ever going to get a break here?’…You came here talking about hope and change. Do you still hope? Is change, was it harder than you thought it would be?” Would you like a foot rub with that, Your Messiah-ship?
Kevin Sorbo provided us with a run down on how the first Democratic Debate on October 13th went.
1. Black Lives Matter, All Lives Don’t Matter.
2. College is worthless because it will soon be free.
3. Medical treatment is worthless because it will soon be free.
4. To become an American Citizen is worthless as it will soon be free.
5. The economy sucks and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
6. The Middle Class is shrinking and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
7. The Average Family income is dropping and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
8. Black youths have over a 50% unemployment rate and after 7 years in office it’s not Obama’s fault.
9. Hispanic youth unemployment is over 35% and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.

11. Everyone who votes Democrat will work less, make more, get more time off, spend more time with family pay less taxes and get more government subsidies.
12. Everyone else does it, so should we, regardless of the results in other places.
13. Government wants more money to squander on promises already broken.
14. The word “Progressive” is the less cringe worthy than saying you’re a Liberal. Actually code for Communist.
15. When America grows up, we want to be Norway, Sweden or The Netherlands.
16. There’s a quagmire in Iraq, Syria and the Middle East and Obama’s retreating from the area and wants nothing to do with the situation.
17. Republicans want dirty air, dirty water, oil spills, trash on the streets, polluted oceans, old people without medical treatment, young people without educations being paid the lowest wages possible, and starving children.

31. Everything is still Bush’s fault.
32. Oh and about that Black Lives Matter thing, that does not include Dr. Ben Carson.
But only because I’m a lady. Pistol Pete provided us with a slew of video clips and links for Hillary Clinton’s obscene testimony before the Benghazi committee. I appreciate him wallowing in the mud so the rest of us don’t have to … as much. Link below.
Democrats don’t give a crap about what happened in Benghazi, before or after. Four dead Americans? The President, Secretary of State, and Ambassador to the United Nations all lying through their teeth afterwards to protect His _Residency’s re-election? Pshaw!
What they are up in arms over is the time and money the Benghazi committee has allegedly “wasted” on the investigation.
As of Oct 22, 2015, the Benghazi investigation had been going on for less than two years and had cost $4.8 million 2015 dollars.
Watching the eleven-hour debacle that was the Benghazi hearings yesterday, those of us who believe that those who commit felonies should be called to account, the frustration seems like having your estranged wife show up at your house with police officers and a court order signed by a judge, who happens to be her father, and you’re forced to watch as she and her new boyfriend take every stick of furniture, every pot and pan, and even the toothbrush holder from you, and smirk because they know there’s nothing you can do about it. That analogy came to me this morning. If it makes no sense, things are about normal.
In full disclosure, I only watched snippets of the show yesterday. I had the unfortunate circumstance of tuning in just as phony Mexican Loretta Sanchez (Illegal-Ca) was bemoaning the fact the investigations has cost the taxpayers (you know, those people who DON’T vote democrat) about 4 1/2 million dollars. It’s the only time, save defense spending, that liberals give two hoots and a holler about spending.
It was absolutely nauseating the way the lying bitch smirked and blithely lied all the way through, with the dems as her apologists and defenders. The friction between her and the republicans gave the media something to talk about so they could ignore the seriousness of the crimes she committed.
I have never claimed to have the organizational or creative skills of the others who post here. I’m just a pissed-off senior citizen taking the opportunity to vent. There is no rhyme or reason to the articles I’m posting here, and some of the you tubes (there are plenty) and some may contain some of the same footage. I love you folks, but not enough to watch all of them in their entirety. I’m not really masochistic.
4 Dead Americans? Just Lint To ‘Brush Off’ On Hillary’s Shoulder…
Hillary smirked throughout the whole testimony before Congress but even worse, did this little move:
Many on the Left on social media shared this as a gif, laughing at ‘how cool she was’ and how she ‘won’ against Republicans, rather than seeing this for the true evil that it is.
The families of the dead? Just people to ‘brush off’:
ANALYSIS: Benghazi Committee Gives Hillary Clinton Presidential Platform
THIS IS THE MEDIA SPIN THIS MORNING
The “get Hillary” committee did not get Hillary.
The House Benghazi committee — dubbed a “get Hillary” effort by Democrats who opposed its creation — brought out precious little new information and no major political missteps by the former secretary of state, who happens to be running for president.

Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Know What Marines Do At U.S. Embassies
“Certainly it was useful for our security professionals and our diplomats to be partnered in that way with the Defense Department. You know, historically the only presence at some of our facilities has been Marines. And as you know well, Marines were there not for the purpose of personnel protection; they were there to destroy classified material and equipment,” Clinton said.

CHAOS EMERGES as Trey Gowdy OWNS Democrat Cummings at Benghazi Hearings
THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA GLEEFULLY REPORTED ON
At the end of the first round of questioning Rep. Cummings and Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy battled over emails Sid Blumenthal sent to Secretary of State Clinton.
THIS EXCHANGE BETWEEN GOWDY AND THE PENISHEAD IS UNDER THREE MINUTES
Gowdy to Clinton: We Didn’t Sign Up to Investigate Your Emails Madam Secretary, We’re Here For The Truth
“Madame Secretary, I understand some people – frankly in both parties – have suggested this investigation is about you. Let me assure you it is not. And let me assure you why it is not. This work is about something much more important than any single person. It is about four U.S. government workers, including our Ambassador, murdered by terrorists on foreign soil. It is about what happened before, during, and after the attacks that killed these four men. It is about what this country owes those who risk their lives to serve it.” http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2015/10/22/gowdy-to-clinton-we-arent-here-to-investigate-you-madam-secretary-were-here-for-the-truth-n2069599
Hillary Clinton Finally Admits Benghazi Massacre Was Organized Attack … Not a Protest
Before the body of Ambassador Chris Stevens was recovered the Obama administration was scheming to deceive the American public about the Benghazi attacks.

Hillary Clinton Admits She Broke U.S. Law in Benghazi
I HALF-EXPECTED HER TO STAND ON HER CHAIR AND SCREAM, “F*CK YOU, RIGHT WINGERS! DO YOU KNOW WHO THE F*CK I AM? I’M HILLARY F*CKING CLINTON. I’M GONNA BE THE F*CKING PRESIDENT AND THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO F*CKING STOP ME!”
IF YOU THINK THAT LANGUAGE IS A BIT EXTREME, READ ‘UNLIMITED ACCESS’ BY GARY ALDRICH. HE KNOWS WHAT A FILTHY MOUTH SHE HAS.
Hillary Clinton admitted to the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Thursday evening that she broke the law in handling security for the U.S. consulate there.
Hillary’s Coughing Fit During Benghazi Testimony
THERE WERE A LOT OF COMMENTS ON THIS AT FREE REPUBLIC BUT NO ONE CAME UP WITH MINE… DID ANYBODY SMELL HUMA ON HER BREATH? MAYBE SHE HAD A HAIR STUCK IN HER THROAT
SURE SOUNDS CONCERNED, DOESN’T SHE?
Hillary’s Pathetic Attempt at Humor in Benghazi Hearings
This testimony is playing out like a trial where a republican asked questions and the a democrat cross-examines and defends her against all the previous questions. The strange thing about this, to me at least, is that the democrats don’t really do this in the form of questions but instead just kinda present evidence and ask somewhat rhetorical questions. Her replies to democrats, when not yes or no , seem very rehearsed.

Benghazi Victims’ Family Members BLAST Clinton After Hearing
CAPTION THIS:
DON’T WORRY, BARRY. THE PRESS WILL PROTECT US AND THERE’S NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO TO STOP US. IT’S ALL GOOD.
Try to imagine the rage/frustration felt by the victims’ families as they watched her smirk and joke her way through the hearing because their loved ones’ lives meant nothing.
In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Kate Quigley, the sister of CIA contractor Glen Doherty, recalled a meeting she and her family had with Clinton at Andrews Air Force Base three days after the terrorist attack in which the then-secretary of state said that the onslaught started as a spontaneous protest.
“She spoke to my family about how sad we should feel for the Libyan people because they’re uneducated, and that breeds fear which breeds violence and leads to a protest,” Quigley recalled.
But as was made clear in Thursday’s hearing, Clinton knew even before the attacks were finished that terrorists with links to al-Qaeda were involved.
THIS MAY BE THE ULTIMATE SLAP IN THE FACE TO THE VICTIMS’ FAMILIES
Hillary Clinton at Benghazi Terror Attack Hearing: ‘Are you going to come to my Katy Perry concert
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s happy deportment at Thursday’s House Select Benghazi Committee hearing brought criticism from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who, commenting on photos of an exuberant Clinton on Twitter, said:
“The expressions of Secretary Clinton today are fascinating. One would not know the hearings involved 4 U.S. deaths.”
Hillary Clinton Plugs Book In Answer About Youtube Video
Clinton said that she has an entire chapter in her book “Hard Choices” about the administration’s failed response to the Benghazi attack, after a congressman asked her why she blamed the Benghazi attack on spontaneous reaction to a YouTube video called “Innocence of Muslims” instead of terrorism. Clinton’s book plug was followed by an attempt to explain her reliance on the video.

Eleven-hour ‘interrogation’ included shouting match between Republican chairman and top Democrat
THIS IS HOW THE U.K. TELEGRAPH SPINS IT
A Democratic presidential front-runner. A panel of Republicans waiting with sharpened knives. A deadly terrorist attack three years ago on a foreign shore.
At the end of the hearing – 11 hours to the minute, or about eight-and-a-half hours without a handful of breaks – a poised and defiant Clinton was still standing after repeated, often-sharp questioning from Republicans who have been criticized by members of both parties for simply trying to damage Clinton’s presidential prospects.
‘I have thought more about what happened than all of you put together,’ Clinton told the committee at one point. ‘I have lost more sleep than all of you put together… I have been wracking my brain thinking about what more could have been done or should have been done.’
Pic Of The Day: Even Hillary’s Ass Gets Special Treatment…
Via the Washington Post’s official Hillary Clinton reporter rump swabber, Abby Phillip:
THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO MAKE THIS THE DAILY THREAD WHERE I POST DIFFERENT ITEMS. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS GOING ON, BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, I’VE FALLEN INTO THE BACK OF A LOADED MANURE SPREADER AND NOT FELT AS DIRTY AS I DO RIGHT NOW. I’M GOING TO DO A DIFFERENT POST AND TRY TO GET THIS CRAPPY TASTE OUT OF MY MOUTH.
