RINOs hunting Conservatives

Conservative fighter has GOP 'insiders' flaming mad, Billionaire Republicans on warpath to stop congressman from winning re-election, by Greg Corombos, 7/29/16, WND 

A conservative Republican congressman is once again fighting to save his political career while leaders in his own party try to oust him for what he says is simply honoring his promises to the voters.

Four states head to the polls in congressional primaries on Aug. 2, but the most intriguing – and expensive – of those races is in the first congressional district of Kansas. Known as “The Big First,” the sprawling district takes up a majority of the land in the state. Rep. Tim Huelskamp is seeking a fourth term in the House but is facing a well-funded challenge from hospital executive Dr. Roger Marshall.

The congressman told WND and radio America his internal polling is encouraging, but the infusion of money and messages in the home stretch of this primary campaign shows nothing should be taken for granted.

“Since then, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has jumped in. This Super PAC out of Chicago owned by uber billionaires has jumped in as well. This could be the most expensive primary in the country when it’s all done,” said Huelskamp, noting the money is coming from New York and New Jersey as well but apparently not from Kansas.

“Why would folks in Chicago be pumping money into Kansas, or folks in New Jersey or folks in London? One guy wrote a $100,000 check with a corporate office in London. They’re trying to buy this election,” he said.

The people of the first district may soon be dizzy from all the attention. Huelskamp said supporters of Marshall have spent more than $1 million in just the past three weeks.

And he has a pretty good idea why some of those people and groups don’t want him back in Congress.

“I think the U.S. Chamber is in for one reason: because I won’t vote for amnesty. I won’t vote to raise the debt ceiling,” Huelskamp said. “Some of these super PACs want to borrow more money and spend more money.”

Huelskamp said the mailers and other ads he’s seen from the outside groups are trying to deceive people about his record, especially the Chicago-based group that the congressman says also supported Hillary Clinton in Iowa earlier this year. Marshall also leads the campaign fundraising race.

“They’ve done at least 33 different mailers in different parts of the district just slamming us and lying about us,” Huelskamp said. “That’s actually a good sign because they understand that if you want to win in America as a Republican, you at least have to claim you’re a conservative.”

He said it’s governing as a conservative that too many in the party cannot tolerate. “They like to campaign as conservatives, but when you actually vote that way and fight that way and try to do what we promised to do as Republicans, it upsets the insiders,” Huelskamp said. Listen to the WND/Radio America interview with Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan.:

Huelskamp said the past few years of GOP control in the House is proof the party has not kept its campaign promises. “Under John Boehner, they added $5 trillion of new debt. You can’t blame it all on Obama because that all went through the U.S. House. In many cases under John Boehner, a minority of Republicans teamed up with Nancy Pelosi to pass increases in the debt ceiling and massive increases in spending but not do anything about Obamacare,” said Huelskamp, who labels himself a “proven conservative.”

The congressman said his defeat would not only please party leaders but also serve as a warning to other conservatives. “If they can take out a conservative in the heartland of America, then they send a message to my 40 or 50 or 60 conservative colleagues in the House and say it’s time to do exactly what leadership tells them to do,” Huelskamp said.

Huelskamp became headline news in late 2012, when he and two other GOP members were stripped of their top committee assignments for bucking leadership too much. Huelskamp lost his seat on the House Agriculture Committee, a hugely important position for his rural farm district. He survived a tough primary fight in 2014, but he’s facing even more ammunition now.

Marshall and some of the outside groups have said Huelskamp needs to go because the first district in Kansas needs their congressman on the House Agriculture Committee, and having Huelskamp banned deprives the region of power and influence on policies vital to the area.

The congressman said that line of attack is no longer relevant, thanks to new rules in the House. “When we got rid of John Boehner, we got rid of rules in the House so one speaker couldn’t run everything. Paul Ryan agreed we were going to diffuse power and take it out of the speaker’s hands and distribute it,” Huelskamp said. “I was elected to the Steering Committee that makes those decisions as a representative of conservatives in the House. “We’re going to get back on the ag committee after we win this race,” he added.

Huelskamp said he is the true conservative in the race, while Marshall has is a center-left Republican. He cites his pro-life record as being much stronger than Marshall’s and touts his endorsements from multiple gun-rights groups, including the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America. He also has the backing of Sen. Pat Roberts, and the conservative free-market Club for Growth is now on the air in the district with ads designed to boost Huelskamp.

In addition to the politics of the race, he identifies much better with the people of “The Big First” because he’s one of them. “Most importantly, I’m a fifth-generation farmer,” Huelskamp said. “I go back and forth to Washington every week. I go to church in Kansas. My kids go to school in Kansas. Our farm is in Kansas. The last thing we need is more insiders who are going to make a home in Washington instead of a home back in their district.”

US Credit is $57 Trillion

Eisenhower’s Final Warning, By Bill Bonner, 2016 © BONNER & PARTNERS

Ike identified a shadow government made up of government, corporate and private insiders that took control of US politics, the US economy and has engineered our economic destruction. The shadow government consists of government employees, corporate cronies, the Federal Reserve, members of Congress and most elected officials.

We are living on credit.  US credit is $57 trillion.  If lenders demand repayment of loans, the economy will crash. We need to pay off our debts and return to a cash economy.

State Attorney could stop the Clinton Foundation

Investigative reporter: Clintons run money-laundering ring, 'This is the type of thing drug cartels or terrorists do,' not presidents, candidates. By Greg Corombos, 7/29/16, WND

As Hillary Clinton heads out of the Democratic National Convention to hit the general election campaign trail, allegations of Clinton Foundation corruption are alive and well – and one writer is urging Americans across the country to help hold the Clintons accountable.

Dr. Jerome Corsi is an investigative reporter for WND and the author, most recently, of “Partners in Crime: The Clintons’ Scheme to Monetize the White House for Personal Profit.” His book comes more than a year after Peter Schweizer’s “Clinton Cash” detailed alleged State Department favors Hillary Clinton performed for nations and individuals that donated to the Clinton Foundation or paid Bill Clinton hundreds of thousands of dollars for a speech.

Corsi told WND and Radio America his efforts to shut down the Clinton Foundation have a much simpler focus. “What I’m maintaining is there is a much easier offense to go after, and that’s what’s called inurement. Inurement is a criminal offense, and it means you run a charity for your own benefit,” Corsi explained.

He said that is much easier to prove than the kind of corruption alleged by Schweizer. “You don’t need a quid pro quo,” he said. “You just show the financial reporting is so apparently fraudulent and so masking of money that you know went through the corporation because the United Nations reports more that they gave to the Clinton Foundation reports they got. Where did the additional missing money go?”

Corsi said the Clinton Foundation inurement began after the Clintons turned a foundation designed to raise money for Bill Clinton’s presidential library. After leaving the White House, the Clintons used the foundation for disaster relief in placed like India and Haiti. Corsi said Bill Clinton would travel to the scenes of disaster, pose with the survivors, raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the relief effort and then spend just a tiny fraction on the stated mission.

“Money gets ripped off in this grifter scheme and enriches the Clintons. You have to ask yourself: They have these $100 million net worths, and they’ve never held a job except for the Clinton Foundation. Where did they get all this money except to rip it out of the foundation?” asked Corsi, who refers to the Clinton Foundation as a “vast criminal enterprise.”

The instinctive response to that question is that the Clintons have raked in millions of dollars for their speaking engagements. But Corsi said the money trail there is very murky as well.

“You can’t tell where the speaking fees went. Were they foundation related? Bill Clinton sets up a dummy corporation, WJC LLC,” Corsi said. “He has a pass-through account in it, where he is able to take the money through various accounts that he passes it through, comes through this WJC pass through, goes out to other nominal accounts. This is the type of thing drug cartels or terrorists do. It’s classic money laundering.”

Corsi said the Clinton Foundation cannot be confronted through the federal government, because Americans have seen that Uncle Sam will not punish Democrats when Democrats are in power. “Every criminal in the world knows that this scheme is underway,” he said. “The only people being fooled by it are the citizens of the United States, who are still under the illusion the Department of Justice, the FBI or the IRS operates for equal justice under the law. It doesn’t, not under the Democrats.”

As a result, Corsi said the path to holding the Clintons accountable must begin in the states. “Any one state can shut down the Clinton Foundation,” he said. “A person who’s given a dollar to the foundation says, ‘I’ve been defrauded.’ A state attorney general can call for a criminal investigation and suspend the activities of the Clinton Foundation internationally until the determination is made as to whether it’s a legitimate charity.”

Corsi is urging Americans to bombard the attorney general in their state to demand answers. He said without such scrutiny, a Hillary Clinton presidency would make past Clinton Foundation abuses pale in comparison. “If Hillary Clinton gets in the White House, it’ll be a grifter’s wet dream. You’ll have Bill Clinton at the foundation and Hillary as head of state,” he said. “No grifter ever fell more into the lap of luxury.”

Hilary’s Critique

6 Things You Need To Know About Hillary's Democratic National Convention

So, the Democratic National Convention is over. As the balloons dropped, the networks declared that the DNC had been an overwhelming success, that Hillary Clinton was beloved by the populace, and that she would undoubtedly become the next president of the United States. Donald Trump’s convention, they said, had been a chaotic failure; Hillary’s had been a parade of entertainment and enthusiasm. Except that isn’t true. Here are six takeaways from Hillary’s big convention:

1. Nobody Likes Hillary. Hillary Clinton is an eminently untalented politician. After an otherworldly buildup – speeches from her husband, a former president of the United States, and a barnburner from the current president -- her speech to conclude the convention was soporific and disappointing. She failed utterly in her task: to humanize herself and to make Donald Trump seem wildly unpalatable. Hillary is a damp dishrag running for president, and that was even obvious from the forced excitement of the crowd. No number of Katy Perry renditions can fix Hillary Clinton’s candidacy.

2. Democrats Preached Happiness In A Dark Time. While the media celebrated the Democrats’ “happy” convention and lamented the Republicans’ “dark” convention, they neglected one basic fact: most Americans don’t feel good about the direction of the country right now. In Medialand, America’s in the middle of a great resurgence. In the real world, the Middle East is on fire, Western capitals are under attack from jihadists, cops are being targeted and shot, race riots are taking place in our major cities, and the economy is absolutely stagnant. The media sees the DNC’s big party as a well-earned gala ball for America under Obama; many Americans see it as Democrats fiddling while the world burns.

3. Democrats Didn’t Paint A Picture Of America Under Donald Trump. For all the criticism of Donald Trump, the Democrats weren’t able to really touch him. That’s because, as Bill Kristol points out, the Democrats were so focused on Trump’s asinine comments and volatile personality that they didn’t bother pointing out what America would actually look like under President Trump. Trump spends his days describing what America looks like now, and says he’ll change it; Hillary spends her days describing what Trump is like now, and says she’ll keep things the same. That’s a recipe for a bad November.

4. There Are Still Serious And Real Divisions Inside The Democratic Party. The media preferred to gloss over the booing Bernie Sanders supporters during Hillary’s speech last night – even though the booing was so loud that Hillary supporters had to chant her name (reluctantly) in order to drown it out. Outside the convention hall, Sanders supporters burned American and Israeli flags and chanted, “Hell, no, DNC, we won’t vote for Hillary.” Even Sanders himself, who endorsed Hillary, looked like he wanted to jump onto the stage and strangle Hillary with his cane when she name-checked him last night. Imagine how his betrayed supporters feel.

5. The Media Proved They Are Corrupt. The media praised every Democratic speech and criticized every Republican one. They tried to turn Hillary Clinton into Cicero and Donald Trump into Hitler. They failed utterly. The conventions do accomplish one purpose: they put candidates in front of the country directly. People still have enough wherewithal to see past the cloud of mouthfarts provided by the members of the press who carry their press credentials alongside worship cards of the Clinton Family. Want to know why Americans haven’t discounted Trump despite his obvious failures? Because the media did this same routine with Mitt Romney and John McCain. Everybody knows they’re running a playbook.

6. Nobody Cares About The Whole “First Female President” Thing. Hillary tried to make a thing out of the fact that she’s the first female candidate from a major political party. But that carries little weight. The image of the first black president – young, good-looking, still powerful – handing off the future to a corrupt old harridan in the name of diversity simply doesn’t work. Hillary didn’t get where she got because she’s a woman who overcame obstacles. She got where she is by marrying up (or down) and then riding her husband’s coattails and sympathy from her husband’s affairs to glory.

The media hoped to declare this race over this morning. It isn’t. Hillary Clinton made sure of that. So did the media themselves.

Hillary’s $1 Trillion Tax Increase

Americans 'facing $1 trillion tax hike' with Clinton 'But there are even more proposals not included in the tally', by Bob Unruh, 7/29/16, WND

There’s been talk about what a Hillary Clinton presidency would cost the United States: more loss of religious rights as she pursues Barack Obama’s “gay” agenda, a loss of gun rights, a diminution of military might, the incalculable toll of appointing Supreme Court justices who want the law to reflect their own ideologies rather than the Constitution.

But here’s something that’s certainly a little more defined. $1 trillion.  Or probably more, in massive tax hikes she’s proposing.  It amounts to a bump of $3,100 per taxpayer.  At least. The report comes from Americans for Tax Reform.

It says Clinton is suggesting a $350 billion hike in income taxes by limiting the itemized deductions for families, a $275 billion hike through “undefined business tax reform and a $400 billion “fairness” tax hike.

Described by Democrats as “restoring basic fairness to our tax code,” it would include a “fair share surcharge,” the report said.

“Hillary Clinton has made clear she intends to dramatically raise taxes on the American people if elected. She has proposed an income tax increase, a business tax increase, a death tax increase, a capital gains tax increase, a tax on stock trading, an ‘Exit Tax’ and more. … Her planned net tax increase on the American people is at least $1 trillion over 10 years, based on her campaign’s own figures.”

Based on a population of about 320 million, that’s a “fair share” tax hike of about $3,100 for every man, woman and child.

“Hillary has endorsed several tax increases on middle income Americans, despite her pledge not to raise taxes on any American making less than $250,000. She has said she would be fine with a payroll tax hike on all Americans, she has endorsed a steep soda tax, endorsed a 25 percent national gun tax, and most recently, her campaign manager John Podesta said she would be open to a carbon tax,” ATR reported.

“It’s no wonder that when asked by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos if her pledge was a ‘rock-solid’ promise, she slipped and said the pledge was merely a ‘goal.’ In other words, she’s going to raise taxes on middle income Americans.”

And there’s more. “Her campaign has failed to release specific details for many of her proposals. The true Clinton net tax hike figure is likely much higher than $1 trillion,”

ATR’s report said. For example, she wants to boost capital gains taxes, calling for a “byzantine capital gains tax regime with six rates,” ATR said.

Also, the report said: “Clinton has proposed a new tax on stock trading. Costs associated with this new tax will be borne by millions of American families that hold 401(k)s, IRAs and other savings accounts. The tax increase would only further burden markets by discouraging trading and investment.” And she wants an “exit tax” on income earned overseas.

She hasn’t put dollar figure estimates on those plans, the report said. But the organization continues to track her plans at HighTaxHillary.com.

DNC Convention Hoax

DNC Paid “Seat Fillers” HALF of $15/hr. to Attend Convention, ABSOLUTE CHAOS ENSUES AT FENCE TO KEEP DEMS OUT [videos] By Bethany Blankley July 28, 2016

After all of the Democratic clamoring and pandering to force businesses to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr. — the DNC turned tail. Quite literally. Contrary to any mainstream media reports: There is no support for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. There is no unity.

Instead, the DNC had to pay “seat fillers” and hired actors to attend the Convention. But not for $15/hr. It advertised $50 for seven hours (4-11pm). The DNC resorted to hiring fake democrats and would only pay them $7.14/hr.– with no bathroom break.

RNC Convention wins on Ratings

Reality TV: Trump beats Hillary in ratings game, Republicans drew bigger audience in final 2 days of convention, 7/29/16, WND

If TV ratings are any indication, Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech apparently didn’t interest Americans as much as it interested establishment media, which lauded it as a historic moment.

According to unofficial early figures, the Republicans bested the Democrats on convention Day 4, with Donald Trump’s acceptance speech in Cleveland July 21 drawing about 30.2 million viewers compared to Clinton’s 27.8 million Thursday night. The figures are from NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC.

Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, appeared to reflect the overall national mood when he was caught on camera with his eyes closed during the acceptance speech, and speculation quickly spread on social media that he had fallen asleep.

On Tuesday night, the three cable news channels and the three major broadcast networks drew a combined average audience of 24.7 million from 10-11:15 p.m. During that time, former President Bill Clinton took nearly 50 minutes to make a case for his wife, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The audience for the second night of the DNC, 25.12 million across the six major networks, was nearly 5 million more than Night 2 of the RNC.

CNN also led the broadcast and cable competition in the 25-54 demographic, the Los Angeles Times reported.
