"Trump, without evidence, blames China for hacking Clinton emails"


29 AUGUST 2018

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Twitter early on Wednesday China hacked the emails of 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton but did not offer any evidence or further information.

"Hillary Clinton’s Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China."

"Next move better be by the FBI & DOJ or, after all of their other missteps (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA, Dirty Dossier etc.), their credibility will be forever gone!" he tweeted a little after midnight on Wednesday.

Trump said in an earlier tweet on Tuesday night: "China hacked Hillary Clinton’s private Email Server."

"Are they sure it wasn’t Russia (just kidding!)?"

"What are the odds that the FBI and DOJ are right on top of this?"

"Actually, a very big story."

"Much classified information!"

U.S. intelligence officials have said Russia orchestrated the hacking of Democratic officials to meddle with the 2016 presidential election.

A U.S. federal grand jury indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers in July on charges of hacking the computer networks of Clinton and the Democratic Party.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Russia’s role in the 2016 election and whether the campaign of Republican candidate Trump colluded with Moscow.

Russia denies meddling in the elections, while Trump has denied any collusion.

Trump said in April 2017 China may have hacked the emails of Democratic officials to meddle with the 2016 presidential election.

He also did not provide any evidence backing his allegation at that time.

"FBI rebuts Trump claim about China hacking Clinton's email"


Ken Dilanian

29 AUGUST 2018

WASHINGTON — Sixteen hours after President Trump tweeted about a right-wing media story alleging that China hacked Hillary Clinton's private email server, an FBI official is refuting the report in a comment to NBC News.

"The FBI has not found any evidence the (Clinton) servers were compromised," the official said.

It's the latest example of the widening breach between a president who traffics in unverified news accounts and the law enforcement agencies he frequently maligns.

The FBI official, speaking for the bureau, also pointed to a report issued in June by the Justice Department inspector general that examined the FBI's investigation of Clinton's use of a private email server.

In the report, the IG noted that while the FBI assessed that it was "possible" that hostile actors gained access to Clinton's private email server, the bureau "acknowledged that the FBI investigation and its forensic analysis did not find evidence that Clinton's email server systems were compromised."

According to the IG report, an FBI forensics agent assigned to the case told investigators that, although he did not believe there was "any way of determining ...100%" whether Clinton's servers had been compromised, he felt "fairly confident that there wasn't an intrusion."

When asked whether a sophisticated foreign adversary was likely to be able to cover its tracks, he stated, "They could."

"Yeah."

"But I, I felt as if we coordinated with the right units at headquarters ... for those specific adversaries …"

"And the information that was returned back to me was that there was no indication of a compromise."


The FBI statement came after a right-wing media organization, the Daily Caller, published a story alleging that "a Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington, D.C., area hacked Hillary Clinton's private server throughout her term as secretary of state and obtained nearly all her emails."

The story cited two sources briefed on the matter.

The story cited a remark at a July hearing by a conservative Republican congressman, Louis Gohmert of Texas, that another inspector general — the Intelligence Community Inspector General — found that virtually all of Clinton's emails were sent to a "foreign entity."

The story said the Chinese firm "obtained Clinton's emails in real time as she sent and received communications and documents through her personal server," and that "the hacking was conducted as part of an intelligence operation."

The story appeared to prompt this tweet last night by Trump:

"Report just out: 'China hacked Hillary Clinton's private Email Server.'"

"Are they sure it wasn't Russia (just kidding!)?"

"What are the odds that the FBI and DOJ are right on top of this?"

"Actually, a very big story."

"Much classified information!"

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment about Gohmert's allegation or the Daily Caller story.

The Justice Department IG's report noted that the FBI conducted "'intrusion analyses' on each of Clinton's devices and other evidence to determine whether any classified information had been compromised," and said the agent assigned to conduct forensic analysis "described the team's efforts in this regard as exhaustive."

"He stated that these efforts included (1) examining the servers and others devices to identify suspicious logins or other activity, and (2) searching numerous datasets to determine whether foreign adversaries or known hostile domestic actors had accessed emails that the (team) had confirmed to contain classified information."

Former FBI Director James Comey, in his July 5, 2016, press conference regarding possible cyber intrusion of Clinton's email servers, said the FBI had not found direct evidence of any intrusion into her personal email domain, but didn't rule out the possibility.

"Given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence."

"We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account …"

"She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries."

"Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email account."


Comey's remarks were widely reported.

HUSSEIN OBAMA SOUNDS LIKE HE IS RUNNING FOR A THIRD TERM IN OFFICE HERE ...

AND WHEN HUSSEIN SAYS POLITICAL DIVISION IS MORE MANUFACTURED THAN REAL, HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE HE AND HILLARY CLINTON AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAVE BEEN THE MANUFACTURERS OF THAT DIVISION ...

MARKETWATCH

"Obama claims ownership of U.S.’s economic recovery as he blasts Trump"


By Steve Goldstein

Published: Sept 7, 2018 3:05 p.m. ET

Former President Barack Obama on Friday used a speech at the University of Illinois to sharply criticize his successor as well as claim ownership of the U.S. economic recovery.

Speaking in Urbana, Ill., where he received an award for ethics in government, Obama recalled that the U.S. economy was losing 800,000 jobs a month when he entered office.

“We worked hard to end that crisis but also break some of these longer-term trends,” said Obama, who is planning a series of campaign trips ahead of the midterm elections in November.

“By the time I left office, household income was near its all-time high, and the uninsured rate had hit an all-time low and wages were rising,” he said.

“I mention all this so when you hear how great the economy is doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started."

“I’m glad it’s continued, but when you hear about this economic miracle that’s been going on ... I have to kind of remind them, actually those job numbers are kind of the same as they were in 2015 and 2016.”

On that, Obama is correct.

U.S. job growth averaged 226,000 per month in 2015, 195,000 in 2016, 182,000 in 2017 and, so far this year, 207,000.

Data also show a pickup in business and consumer confidence after Trump’s election.

The U.S. is on track to grow more than 3% in 2018, a rate of economic expansion not recorded over the course of a full calendar year since the second term of the George W. Bush administration.

At a North Dakota event, Trump responded.

“Obama was trying to take credit for this incredible thing that’s happening,” Trump said.

“I have to say this to President Obama - if the Dems got in with their agenda in November of almost 2 years ago, instead of having 4.2 up, I believe honestly we’d have 4.2 down,” he said, referring to GDP growth of 4.2% in the second quarter.

Obama meanwhile had a broader attack on Trump than just the economy.

Mentioning Trump by name, Obama said political division is more manufactured than real.


“Sometimes the backlash comes from people who are genuinely, if wrongly, fearful of change."

"More often it’s manufactured by the powerful and privileged who want to keep us divided and keep us angry and keep up cynical because it helps them maintain the status quo and keep their power and keep their privilege,” he said.

“And you happen to be coming of age during one of those moments."

"It did not start with Donald Trump."

"He is a symptom, not the cause,” Obama said to applause.

Obama went further in directly attacking Trump.

“We are supposed to stand up to discrimination."

"And we sure as heck are supposed to stand up clearly and unequivocally to Nazi sympathizers,” he said to applause from the university audience.

“How hard can that be?"

"Saying that Nazis are bad?”

Obama added that he complained plenty about Fox News during his eight years in office, “but you never heard me threaten to shut them down or call them enemies of the people.”

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR September 9, 2018 at 10:12 pm

Paul Plante says :

My dear friend and fellow American patriot Chas Cornweller, dude; let me say that the only thing better than opening the Cape Charles Mirror each Sunday is coming across a screed or polemic or rant written by yourself, and today was one of those days when I said to the world, “Hooray, Chas Cornweller is here to make our day,” and such it is, Chas Cornweller in spades, where you say Woodard’s book has created an avalanche of backlash and an earthquake whiplash with both the media and the public.

To which I respond, no, it hasn’t.

It’s not even a topic of conversation.

Outside of yourself, Chas Cornweller, people consider it a non-event.

In a few weeks, it will be in the remaindered bin along with that sniffly, crying and whining piece full of empty excuses that Hillary Clinton wrote after she got trounced by Trump in this last election.

Then you say “The picture painted of our present Commander-In-Chief is one of a paranoid, unprepared president who is out of touch with the reality of today’s America.”

Do you realize, Chas Cornweller, that that description applies as well to Lyndon Baines Johnson and fits Barack Hussein Obama to a tee, as does the reference to someone “who tape-loops over and over those political points that keep winning him favor with his base.”

Obama is also a master at deception because it is what he knows and has used for his entire life to manipulate the situation for the betterment of his personal gain and position.

And when you say Woodward shows us an administration reacting constantly to a child-man who knows neither the depth or scope of America’s responsibilities, nor has the wherewithal to deal with these responsibilities, an administration ramming through policies that enable the very rich and very powerful to maintain and solidify that power while the policies to protect the rest of us are daily eroded away, you are talking about as book that very well could have been about Obama, who is back on the political stump in America, perhaps looking to be drafted for a third term in office, who was quoted in the Marketwatch story “Obama claims ownership of U.S.’s economic recovery as he blasts Trump” by Steve Goldstein published Sept. 7, 2018 saying as follows:

“Political division is more manufactured than real.”

“More often it’s manufactured by the powerful and privileged who want to keep us divided and keep us angry and keep up cynical because it helps them maintain the status quo and keep their power and keep their privilege.”

“It did not start with Donald Trump.”

“He is a symptom, not the cause,” Obama said to applause.

end quotes

Pay heed to those words from Obama himself, Chas Cornweller, while there is still time to extricate yourself from the corner you are painting yourself into here – Trump is not the cause – he is merely the symptom.

The political division in America was manufactured by the elitist Obama himself beginning when he first ran for the presidency as we see from the Guardian article “Obama angers midwest voters with guns and religion remark” by Ed Pilkington in New York @edpilkington on 14 Apr. 2008, as follows:

Barack Obama was forced onto the defensive at the weekend over unguarded comments he made about small-town voters across the midwest.

Obama was caught in an uncharacteristic moment of loose language.

Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said:

“They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

The comments were seized on by his rival for the Democratic party candidacy, Hillary Clinton, who saw in them the hope of reviving her flagging campaign by turning voters in the important Pennsylvania primary on April 22 against what she classed as Obama’s revealed “elitism”.

“I was taken aback by the demeaning remarks Senator Obama made about people in small-town America,” she said on Saturday.

“His remarks are elitist and out of touch.” Clinton campaigners in North Carolina handed out stickers saying: “I’m not bitter.”

Obama’s comments are potentially incendiary in the Pennsylvania rust belt.

Analysts speculated that the remarks could give white working-class voters the excuse they needed not to vote for Obama, whose candidacy has been regarded with scepticism in the state but had shown some signs of growing momentum.

The comments came to light as a result of the Huffington Post’s groundbreaking experiment in citizen journalism, Off The Bus.

The website runs a network of about 1,800 unpaid researchers, interviewers and writers.

One of those writers, Mayhill Fowler, broke the story, despite being a paid-up supporter of Obama.

She attended a fundraising event in San Francisco on April 6 and recorded Obama’s speech.

Fowler sat on the material for days, conflicted about what to do with it.

She only published the comments last Friday.

“She had some real reservations about the story as an Obama supporter,” Amanda Michel, the director of Off The Bus, told the Guardian.

“But she thought as a citizen journalist she had a duty to report the event, despite her support for Barack Obama.”

Obama initially reacted to the resultant media firestorm over the weekend by trying to stand by his comments.

But he later apologised, saying: “If I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that.”

Clinton will now hope the controversy will provide her with the break she desperately needs in Pennsylvania.

She requires a substantial win to sustain her campaign, but recent polls have suggested Obama had eroded some of her advantage.

end quotes

There, my dear friend, Chas Cornweller, is Obama creating the division and anger that put Trump in the white house.

But for Obama, Trump would never have been president.

And then Obama came back again and ran his mouth some further and divided America even further in the Washington Post article “Obama revives his ‘cling to guns or religion’ analysis — for Donald Trump supporters,” by Janell Ross on
December 21, 2015, as follows:

In April 2008, then-senator Barack Obama, a relative upstart Democrat from Illinois, was locked in a presidential primary with then-senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).

Pennsylvania’s important primary was less than two weeks away, making Pennsylvania the temporary center of the political universe.

Then, the candidate whom some reporters were already describing as almost preternaturally aware of the American voter psyche made what just about everyone considers a mistake.

At a San Francisco-area fundraiser, Obama took a shot at explaining the mostly white voters in those hard-scrabble and once-booming Pennsylvania industrial towns.

He was speaking to a largely wealthy and well-educated California audience, and these Pennsylvanians were people that, in the minds of many liberals living along the nation’s coasts, seemed to be voting against their own personal interests.

They seemed angry and politically confused, casting their votes with some regularity for conservatives who support, without modification, the trade deals, labor practices and shrinking wages that were making these voters’ lives so hard.

These are the people the 2004 book “What’s the Matter with Kansas” was talking about.

An unpaid “citizen-journalist” and Obama supporter following and writing about the Obama campaign for the Huffington Post — at her own expense — was at the fundraiser and, to her credit, reported precisely what Obama had said:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them.”

“And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.”

“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Bam.

Obama had made not only the rookie political mistake of appearing to diminish or disparage Americans’ affection for guns and God; he had also displayed the temerity to talk about a group of Americans accustomed to viewing themselves simply as “regular Americans” or the American norm — not as if they were just one important segment of a rapidly changing American mosaic.

He had described these white, working-class Americans who do not have college degrees or access to the ever-expanding universe of tech- and thought-centered jobs as understandably frightened, struggling and politically misguided — or perhaps anesthetized into believing that more guns and more God would solve their problems.

Needless to say, Clinton pounced, calling Obama an “elitist.”

Soon, Obama was, according to the Clinton camp, a candidate who didn’t understand and couldn’t lay claim to the votes of “working, hard-working Americans, white Americans.”

Therefore, she was the better bet.

We all know how that turned out.

So here we are, seven years later, and a now President Obama has said some things about this same set of voters — white Americans, and specifically men with limited education who once had near-exclusive access to industrial jobs that paid family-sustaining wages — and the Republican candidate who so many of them seem to support, Donald Trump.

Here’s a portion of what Obama told NPR News in the interview airing Monday:

“I do think that when you combine that demographic change with all the economic stresses that people have been going through because of the financial crisis, because of technology, because of globalization, the fact that wages and incomes have been flatlining for some time, and that particularly blue-collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy, where they are no longer getting the same bargain that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck.”

“You combine those things, and it means that there is going to be potential anger, frustration, fear.”

“Some of it justified, but just misdirected.”

“I think somebody like Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that.”

“That’s what he’s exploiting during the course of his campaign.

Sound at all familiar?

It should.

Obama just made largely the same, perhaps less-volcanically phrased argument that he did all the way back in 2008 about the psyche of economically struggling, largely white voters.

end quotes

There, my dear friend and fellow American patriot Chas Cornweller, is a prime example of political division in America manufactured by the powerful and privileged supporters of Barack Obama who want to keep us divided and keep us angry and keep us cynical because it helps them maintain the status quo and keep their power and keep their privilege.

That is what put Donald Trump in the white house.

As to the claim that “(Y)ou have two very capable administrators in White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Secretary of Defense James Mattis having to deal with what they “see” as an ‘unhinged idiot’ (Kelly) with the understanding of ‘a fifth or sixth grader’ (Mattis),” I believe that those claims are being denied by Kelly and Mattis, so right now, they are unsubstantiated gossip.

And thank you, Chas Cornweller, for bringing forth these points in here as you have done, so the record can be fleshed out fully, so as to show how it was that Obama and the Democrats are responsible for putting Donald Trump in the white house.

It is a story the American people need to understand so we can move forward as a nation, so a grateful nation thanks you, Chas Cornweller, for getting that ball rolling in here with your article above.

"Joe Biden Calls Trump Supporters 'Virulent People,' The 'Dregs Of Society'"


ByJoseph Curl @josephcurl

September 17, 2018

Joe Biden just had his "deplorables" moment.

Biden, who says he'll decided in January whether to run for president in 2020 but who is making all the moves of a presidential candidate, used a pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign annual dinner on Saturday to rip President Trump.


And in so doing, Biden had a moment reminiscent of Hillary Clinton, when she called Trump supporters "deplorables."

Biden did his old act, starting off soft and avuncular before booming through his power points, punching the air and flailing about.

"Despite losing in the courts, and in the court of opinion, these forces of intolerance remain determined to undermine and roll back the progress you all have made," he said.

"This time they — not you — have an ally in the White House."

"This time they have an ally."

"They're a small percentage of the American people — virulent people, some of them the dregs of society."

"And instead of using the full might of the executive branch to secure justice, dignity, safety for all, the president uses the White House as the literal — literal — bully pulpit, callously — callously — exerting his power over those who have little or none."

Biden got himself lathered up into a full froth as he waxed poetic about his and "Barack's" thoughts on Trump.

"Barack and I agreed to remain silent for a while to give this administration the chance to get up and running in the first year," Biden said.

"God forgive me," he added, making the sign of the cross as the audience applauded.

"Those who try to excuse this kind of prejudice in the name of culture, I say, 'Prejudice is prejudice and humanity is humanity — it is a crime,'" Biden said, urging those in the room to continue to oppose Trump.

"Our work is not yet done by any stretch of the imagination."

"The stakes are much too high."

And then he went even further. "This is deadly earnest, we are in a fight for America's soul," Biden said.

Biden's wife, Jill, also got in on the act before introducing her husband.

"There is nothing that makes either of us more angry than a bully."

"There's nothing that's more unfair or unjust than people using their power to try to make other people feel small, to tell them who they are or what they are capable of, to say their identity doesn't belong," she said.

"There is nothing that makes us want to pick a fight more than that," she said.

Clinton used similar language when she called "half" of Trump's supporters "deplorables" during the 2016 campaign.

"To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," Clinton said in September 2016.


"Right?"

"Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it."

Now, Biden has done much the same.

And just as Biden began his speech, a few people in the crowd yelled "Run Joe!"

He replied: "Thank you."

See you in 2020, Joe.

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR September 18, 2018 at 11:03 pm

Paul Plante says :

It is interesting that as we consider in here Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg going before Congress to admit the social media giant failed to protect American democracy, that the Cape Charles Mirror is running another story entitled “Leftist Scum: Leaked Video, Emails Exposes Google’s Real Bias” by Wayne Creed on September 16, 2018 wherein is stated “(W)hile there has been widespread angst, accompanied by a bogus special investigation involving Russian involvement with the Trump campaign, actual collusion between left-wing tech giants such as Google, Twitter and Facebook, and the Clinton campaign is appearing to be more the case,” and more to the point of this thread, “(T)hese corporations control so much of what we see and hear.”

Indeed, they do, and beyond that, and perhaps of more importance yet, they control what it is we as citizens are allowed to say on so-called “social media,” which is a real failure to protect American democracy, if we are to believe as American citizens what was expressed in a 1919 opinion of United States Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis that suppression of ideas worked a great hardship on society.

If we do believe that as American citizens, and why should we not, then we can see that by limiting our speech on these so-called “social media” sites, which really exist as cash cows raising money for investors by selling advertising, to include Google, Twitter, Facebook and Chinese company Tapatalk, they are working a great hardship on our society here in America, which is to our detriment as American citizens.

While Google, Twitter and Facebook are all well known to most American citizens, this Chinese company Tapatalk which has entered the United States only recently to take over other “social media” sites in this country to our detriment has largely been beneath the radar.

On a website devoted to the administration of such sites known as The Admin Zone in a post dated May 8, 2018, one site administrator posted this comment, to wit:

Seems Tapatalk are getting hold of most free forum systems, as they have also previously merged FreeForums and one or two others I believe.

end quotes

That was followed up on May 8, 2018 with this comment:

Yeah, Tapatalk bought up Yuku (was ezBoard) and Network54 recently.

They are aggressively acquiring forum hosts.

end quotes

And not only are they aggressively acquiring forum hosts, at the same time, they are imposing corporate censorship where before there was freedom of speech, as I personally learned when Tapatalk took over Zetaboards and imposed those corporate rules on a site I had been following on Zetaboards since 2010.

Getting back to the failure to protect American democracy by limiting our speech on social media sites, another well-respected Supreme Court Justice at that time named Oliver Wendell Holmes rested his First Amendment views on what he called the “marketplace of ideas,” reasoning that because we cannot know immediately which ideas are good and true and useful and which are not, we must let them vie against one another in the faith that after full exposure and discussion, the truth will win out.

Except when corporate censorship is imposed on our speech, then the marketplace of ideas breaks down, with the result that the truth is suppressed and can no longer “win out,” which again is to our detriment as American citizens.

Supreme Court Justice Brandeis saw free speech as an essential aspect of citizenship in America, but these corporate censors see it otherwise.

According to the view of Justice Brandeis, men and women in America have the duty in a democracy such as ours is supposed to be to be good citizens, which means being informed on the issues confronting us.

Mused the Justice, how can individuals make intelligent decisions about those issues without having basic information about them?

How can citizens, which means all of us, judge which side has the better argument unless we can hear both sides of an argument and then join in the debate with facts?

Justice Brandeis thus provided a positive justification for protection of speech, that being the necessity for the citizenry, which happens to be all of us here in the United States of America, to be fully informed about issues and to be aware of all viewpoints.

And that thought takes me back in time to Friday, November 23, 1787, and Federalist No. 10, “The Union as a Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection” from the New York Packet, an early version of the Cape Charles Mirror, by Virginia’s James Madison to the People of the State of New York, where Jemmy states as follows:

AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a well constructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction.

The friend of popular governments never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice.

The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public councils, have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished; as they continue to be the favorite and fruitful topics from which the adversaries to liberty derive their most specious declamations.

end quotes

It can well be said that the Cape Charles Mirror thread “Leftist Scum: Leaked Video, Emails Exposes Google’s Real Bias” by Wayne Creed on September 16, 2018 is a modern, up-to-date look at exactly what James Madison was talking about 231 years ago at the birth of this nation when he said the friend of popular governments never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice called faction, which is exactly what the Hillary Clinton campaign was – a faction in America that considered other American citizens to be a “basket of deplorables.”

In Federalist 10, written in 1787, James Madison stated that the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties, and that measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.

Two hundred thirty-one years later, here we are finding ourselves once again saying the same exact things, especially with regard to the public good being disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties, especially when those conflicts are made one-sided with the aid of these corporate social media sites controlling and filtering our speech, so that only certain viewpoints and perspectives are allowed to be heard.

So what did James Madison mean by “factions” in Federalist No. 10?

Here is his answer, to wit:

By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.

end quotes

With that thought of James Madison expressed, here I will pause for the moment, because in Federalist No. 10, Madison stated there are two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects.

There is where we will head next, so please, stay tuned.

It is the future of your nation at issue in here, afterall, just as it was back in 1787 when James Madison wrote those words to the people of the State of New York to convince them it was to their benefit to join the union which we see being split asunder in our times today.

POOR HILLARY!

POOR, POOR HILLARY!

THE POOR WOMAN SOUNDS QUITE HYSTERICAL HERE …

OFF HER ROCKER, IN FACT …

AND IF SHE WAS PRESIDENT, OUR REPUBLIC WOULD REALLY HAVE BEEN PUT IN CRISIS …

And so ...

THE WRAP

"Hillary Clinton Tells Stephen Colbert 'Our Democracy Is in Crisis'"


Jon Levine

22 SEPTEMBER 2018

Hillary Clinton issued a warning to the American people on Friday night, telling the "Late Show With Stephen Colbert" that President Trump was putting the U.S. republic in danger.

"I really want people to take it seriously regardless of who you voted for, whether you even voted, and think about why our democracy is in crisis, and I don't use the word lightly."

"I really regret using the word because I wish it weren't the case," she said.


Clinton stopped by "The Late Show" to plug the paperback edition of her campaign memoir "What Happened," which includes a new forward focusing on her concern for the state of the government.

"Degrading the rule of law, delegitimizing our elections, attacking your favorite subject, truth and reason, spreading corruption, undermining our national unity," she said.

"Each alone is a threat but you put it all together and it really is a crisis to who we are as a nation."

Clinton also addressed that much-discussed New York Times op-ed from an unnamed Trump administration official who said they were actively working to undermine the president's worst impulses.

"It may well be unprecedented," she said.

"And the person or people who wrote that article were trying to tell the rest of us we're stopping bad things from happening and when you think of all the bad things that have happened, that's pretty sobering.

"It didn't comfort me," she added.

Since penning her inside account of the events leading up to her losing the bid for the White House, Clinton has popped up occasionally at conferences and speaking engagements.

President Trump continues to routinely invoke Clinton, who he branded "crooked Hillary" and threatened to jail during the campaign.

"Pelosi calls Kavanaugh "hysterical," says he's unfit for Supreme Court"


Grace Segers

30 SEPTEMBER 2018

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh "hysterical" and said that he was temperamentally unfit to serve on the Supreme Court. Pelosi made the comments in an interview Saturday at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin.

"I couldn't help but think that if a woman had ever performed that way, they would say 'hysterical,'" Pelosi said about her reaction to Kavanaugh's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.


Kavanaugh emotionally denied allegations that he had sexually assaulted Dr. Christine Blasey Ford when they were both teenagers.

During his opening statement, Kavanaugh was very emotional, at times nearly shouting and choking up while discussing his family and his high school years.

He also explicitly condemned Democrats on the committee, calling the allegations against him a "grotesque and coordinated character assassination" organized by liberals angry that Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election.

Pelosi said that she believed Kavanaugh's testimony proved that he could not serve on the Supreme Court, because it showed that he is biased against Democrats.


"I think that he disqualifies himself with those statements and the manner in which he went after the Clintons and the Democrats," she said.

Pelosi demurred when asked if she would try to impeach Kavanaugh if he is confirmed, and if Democrats gain the majority in the House of Representatives.

"I will say this — if he is not telling the truth to Congress or to the FBI, then he's not fit not only to be on the Supreme Court, but to be on the court he's on right now," Pelosi said.

Kavanaugh is currently a judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Pelosi added that as a Democrat she was concerned about potential Kavanaugh rulings against the Affordable Care Act or Roe v. Wade, as he is considered to be a conservative justice.

In his confirmation hearings, Kavanaugh sidestepped questions on whether he would overturn certain Supreme Court decisions.

"It's not time for a hysterical, biased person to go to the court and expect us to say, 'isn't that wonderful,'" Pelosi said.

"Hillary Clinton to headline first public campaign event of 2018"


By Dan Merica, CNN

1 OCTOBER 2018

Hillary Clinton will headline her first public campaign event of the midterms on Monday, a Clinton spokesman tells CNN, when she attends a roundtable in Chicago with JB Pritzker, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Illinois.

The event, which will include Juliana Stratton, the Democrats' lieutenant governor candidate, will be a roundtable with high school girls and focus on stressing the importance of leadership, according to the Pritzker campaign.

Clinton has spent much of 2018 out of the political fray or headlining fundraisers for a handful of Democratic groups and campaigns.

Top operatives from the party worried that Clinton returning to the campaign trail could invigorate Republicans who rejected her in 2016.


That issue is less potent in Illinois, where early voting has begun.

Clinton grew up in suburban Chicago and won the state by 16% in 2016.

And polls have consistently shown Pritzker with a sizable lead over his opponent, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Pritzker has long been a prolific Democratic fundraiser and donor and backed Clinton's failed 2016 presidential campaign.

Clinton also helped Pritzker during his Democratic primary by recording a robocall for the billionaire entrepreneur.


Clinton is also not the first Democratic heavyweight to campaign for Pritzker.

Former President Barack Obama, who rose to political power in Chicago, delivered a stinging indictment of President Donald Trump last month in central Illinois and followed up the event by visiting a cafe with Pritzker.

Later this month, Clinton will headline an event with Andrew Gillum, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Florida who was a campaign surrogate for Clinton in 2016.

"Hillary Clinton Laughs at Brett Kavanaugh Claiming Allegations Are ‘Revenge on Behalf of the Clintons’"


By Nicole Goodkind

On 10/2/18 at 3:47 PM

Hillary Clinton addressed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual misconduct Tuesday at the Atlantic Festival in Washington, D.C., saying she found his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, very credible.

"You have to ask yourself, Why would anybody put themselves through this if they did not believe that they had important information to convey to the Senate?" the former secretary of state said.


"She basically said that she thought it was her civic duty."

"I found her willingness to say 'I don’t remember that, but I remember this' to be very convincing."

"And I felt a great swell of pride that she would be willing to put herself out there under these circumstances."

At a Senate hearing investigating claims of Kavanaugh’s sexual assault Thursday, the judge blamed the Clinton family for his situation.

During his emotional opening remarks, he called the hearing a "calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups."

Hillary laughed at the idea that anyone was seeking revenge on behalf of her and her family.

"I mean, really, yes, it deserves a lot of laughter," she said.


Clinton said she wasn't watching when Kavanaugh made the comments about her family, but that she heard about it later.

"Look, I thought it was just part of his very defensive and unconvincing presentation."

"And I told someone later, 'Boy, I tell you, they give us a lot of credit,'" she told a crowd to more laughter.

"Thirty-six years ago, we started this against him, in high school apparently," she joked.

Kavanaugh worked closely with Ken Starr, special counsel on the Whitewater Investigation which exposed President Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky and eventually led to the former president’s impeachment trial.

"I want the FBI to conduct as through an investigation as they possibly can within whatever restraints are imposed upon them," she continued.

"But I think for anyone who believes there is such a thing as a judicial temperament and that we want judges, particularly those on our highest court, to approach issues and plaintiffs and defendants with a sense of fairness, that there's a lot to be concerned about."

Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy called Kavanaugh’s accusations “conspiratorial madness,” and Democratic Senator Dick Durbin said, "This 'lock her up' grace note in Judge Kavanaugh's remarks may have raised a cheer in the White House, but it was a sad moment in the history of this committee."

CNN reported that President Donald Trump approved of Kavanaugh’s Clinton comment.

Kavanaugh has been accused by three women, Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick, of committing sexual misconduct while he was in high school or college.

Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, testified to Senate Thursday morning.

The Palo Alto University professor told the Senate Judiciary Committee that she most clearly remembered Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge’s laughter on the night of her alleged assault in 1982.

"The uproarious laughter between the two” was still vivid in her mind, she said.

“And their having fun at my expense."

"I was underneath one of them as they laughed, two friends having a really good time with one another.”

After much debate, the Senate called for a one-week FBI investigation Friday afternoon before a formal vote for Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court appointment is conducted.
