Now Obama Blames Republicans for Baltimore

4/30/2015

PictureBaltimore thugs in action
One thing I have to give to President Obama: he can always concoct a new line to prove why he is not responsible for any of the results of the programs that liberals have invented and which never work.  Baltimore, a deep blue city in an equally blue state has been the recipient of large federal grants and support funds while at the same time it has continually fallen in ranking using any good economic measures.

So with Obama decrying racism again as a cause of the problem and putting much of that on the police, he added the charge that the Republicans are at fault by not authorizing more funding for cities like Baltimore.

Let's look at a couple of Obama's claims and see where that puts him on the accuracy chain. We'll include his charge of racism and overreach by the police, that Republicans wouldn't appropriate sufficient funds to get things working in Baltimore again and we'll also take a look about his argument that Democrats create jobs.

The City of Baltimore has a Democratic administration and there has not been a Republican mayor since 1967; there have only been two Republican mayors of this Democratic bastion since 1920.  The city council is all Democrats and yet the city has been going downhill despite the downtown renovation that made the Inner Harbor a favorite place.  And most of the problem which has taken tourists away has been crime.

If you will remember, the Great Society began in 1964 under Lyndon Johnson.  Large urban areas were recipients of vast amounts of money in programs designed to end hunger, reduce the number of poor and offer employment opportunities for the disadvantaged.  In 1960, just prior to this major legislative venture, ten percent of the population was classified as poor.  Today it is twenty-five percent under both a Democratic President and a Democratic city government.  Yet taxes are high and there is no incentive for anyone to start a business, which is the most likely way to get work today.  Accordingly, overall unemployment is about thirty-five percent higher than the national average and, remember, those numbers don't include those who have given up looking for work.

If you look back to the Great Society and the cumulative cost of those supposedly worthy programs, we have spent since then over twenty-two trillion dollars on these programs with dismal outcomes.  The aforementioned unemployment of minorities is one and huge increases in food stamps as well as working age adults being dropped from unemployment statistics are two more.  You see, when a worker become disenchanted after running out of unemployment assistance and with no long term prospects of work, many just opt out of the system.  Unfortunately, there are no accurate figures correlating the crime increases in urban areas with this categorization, but crime is up dramatically in Baltimore.

So for Barack Obama to try and blame Republicans for not giving him more money when he has outspent the entire previous Presidential lineup with no positive result is laughable.  And frankly, until people of Baltimore realize that they themselves must change the way they look at things and develop a can do attitude, the likelihood for them to find good paying work with dignity is likely to allude them.

No, America, Republicans aren't the problem, the change in outlook from self-reliance to government dependence is the biggest problem.  And it is not just in Baltimore but found all over the country.  And with the addition of paid agitators and Marxist and anarchist groups coming to town to feed the flames of discontent, lost souls easily succumb to anger and violence.  And that, in turn, feeds the cycle of more businesses leaving the area with none to replace them.

People need to realize that they are the principal factor in their own success.  A good attitude, willingness to work hard and putting your best foot forward is always the best way to maximize opportunities.  Using your frustration as an excuse for violence and destruction will certainly not do that.  A strong support system within the black community, not from rabble rousers like Sharpton and Jackson, but hands on city leaders and local religious leaders finding creative new solutions, not the same old, same old, is what must be done.

If the City of Baltimore inner city community and its civic and religious leaders work to show the rest of America that they are looking for free and productive enterprise and they have peaceful, eager people looking for a hand up, not a hand out, a solution can be found.  Americans love to help an underdog; they just want to know that it is worthwhile.

Let's all pray that Baltimore looks for new answers to old problems with the help of God. That will go a long way to turning things around.

Obama Repeats His Ferguson Approach in Baltimore

4/29/2015

PictureBaltimore's Inner Harbor
Baltimore over recent years has done a wonderful job of cleaning up its image and making it a truly great town to visit.  The Inner Harbor transformation, the new sports complex including Camden Yard and the wonderful aquarium turned an aging downtown area into a bustling and energetic magnet for a rebirth of spirit and pride.

Unfortunately, the events of  this week have put a stigma on the city that is not deserved but will be costly to overcome.  And frankly, I place much of the blame on liberal politicians and a President who always tries to find a way to demonize the police before even knowing the facts.

Make no mistake, this week's rioting in Baltimore was not just an expression of outrage by local youth who are disenfranchised and have never been given the tools to become good citizens, a situation that was caused by lack of good parenting, poor schooling and a permissive climate.  No, it has also been caused by the constant drumbeat of government in its desire to gain more and more control over every aspect of our lives.  Sure it's wrong for police to violate protocol in making arrests or handling an issue, but that is a separate issue which should be dealt with by our legal system, not by having anarchists and trouble makers setting a city on fire. And right now we don't really know what happened and that requires investigation.  And this is where Obama and his minions come into the picture in a very harmful way.

Ever since Obama's Harvard friend, Professor Skip Gates was arrested by the police in 2009, Obama has immediately jumped to the conclusion that the police were wrong.  The same thing happened in the Trayvon Martin death in Sanford, Florida while in a struggle with George Zimmerman.   Then in Ferguson, Missouri, Obama immediately assumed that Michael Brown was just a young man minding his own business when he was supposedly viciously attacked by Officer Darren Wilson when the opposite was proved to be true.  The same anti-police sentiment immediately surfaced later in New York City and now in Baltimore.  Yet, while we don't know the facts in Baltimore yet, we do know that in his previous fast pronouncements Obama clearly used his bias to overrule the truth.

Look, folks, we all know that in any occupation there can be a few bad apples, but Obama and his Justice Department seem to be hell bent on painting all of the police as brutal oppressors when we all know in our hearts this is not the truth.  And further, with the open door association he gives to the likes of Al Sharpton, a man who never knew a riot he didn't enjoy, he has created a gigantic problem which could have readily been resolved instead of continually growing.  It comes from his background as a community organizer, a dubious occupation at best which generally is designed to provoke outrage as a means of accomplishing its objectives.

Couple with this the information that came out on Fox News yesterday and we might see how much of the rioting is actually planned.  It has been found through an analysis of social media data from sites like twitter that a common threat of traffic existed between the events of Ferguson and Baltimore, all pointing toward a common end.  On the surface, it would appear that signals for the start of misbehavior and mayhem are being passed via such channels.   If this is true, Marxist leaning and anarchy groups have a network of operatives ready to move to a location for exploitation of an issue at a moment's notice.  And Obama's rhetoric, clearly and always assuming the worst of the police while giving room for action by the mobs, might very well be a telltale sign.

The President should know that his comments and even his quips and facial expressions are carefully watched by the citizenry and because of his open press access he needs to be very careful with his actions and words.  He came to office saying he would heal wounds in America while he actually has set relations back a long way.  And if he is doing so in order to marginalize police and put them under authority and direction of the feds, as opposed to the locality where they live and work, then we will have another great power grab underway which must be checked.

Local police are always the best option for when you have any government entity located where the people can have influence, that falls in line with the principles of our nation's foundation.  Remember, that the government is of the people, not a creation of a monolithic bureaucracy far distant and lacking an understanding of a specific local situation.  One size fits all does not work.  The President would be wise to learn this.

And as for the special circumstances of Baltimore, it was good that she is located in a state with a governor who had the courage to call up and use the National Guard to limit the damage, for last night they had an uprisings that took place under control.  It's too bad the Mayor didn't request it sooner as the first night's carnage could have been quelled as well.

God bless the good people of Baltimore, a minority controlled city, as they try to regroup and rebuild.  Let us pray that good purposes will prevail and the situation which lit the spark of anarchy will be fully investigated and resolved.  Beyond that, let the federal government keep its nose out of this community's business for as we've seen so many times, the insertion of federal power politics always makes things worse.

God bless America and may she ever be free.  Centralization never assists in that endeavor.

Are We Missing Something on Uranium One?

4/28/2015

Picture
By now most of us know that Uranium One is the Canadian company that got favorable treatment in a deal which ultimately involved transferring control of twenty percent of America's uranium ore ultimately to Vladimir Putin's Russia.  And while we all know that Hillary Clinton agreed to approve the original transaction which allowed for Russia to get the initial share of a smaller amount, most are not aware just how much influence was peddled in order to receive huge cash contributions to the Clinton Family Foundation.

Peter Schweizer, the author of "Clinton Cash", which will officially be released on May 5th but has had some advance notices, is the source of the break in information.  Schweizer is a Conservative writer whose work received raves about his sourcing even from the liberal New York Times.  And Schweizer says that the Clinton family has been the recipient of over two billion dollars in contributions from various sources including foreign government supported enterprises.  And since this particular deal over Uranium One with its Canadian owner happened while Hillary was Secretary of State, the scent of influence peddling by a high ranking Administration official for money is very strong.  But I think that one aspect of the approval, which of course Clinton signed off on, is not being look at by the press.


Actually it's much worse than that as we saw yesterday.  George Stephanopoulis of ABC and a former confidante and principal staff member of the Clinton Administration, threw all possible credibility out the window with the way he interviewed Schweizer, jumping on him in a way that showed clear partiality.  But Stephanopoulis has always been in the tank for his former employers and has no business posing as a news analyst.

But what we are missing here is that Clinton's action goes deeper here and it likely leads to culpability on the the part of the President as well.  You see, Barack Obama as is characteristic of him, claims no knowledge of what happened. He strikes his usual tone as a President who gets his news from the morning shows or newspaper as many Americans do.  But for the Uranium One deal to be approved, particularly with the implications to national security that ownership of uranium carries, it required sign off by seven key government officials, all in Obama's Cabinet and all required to keep their boss informed of their actions. These officials included Secretaries of State (of course, Hillary at the time), Defense, Homeland Security, Commerce, Energy, Treasury and the Attorney General.

Without saying any more, I will leave you with this question:  Do you think that all of these key officials would not have told the President of the United States of the decision they made.  I find it ludicrous that they did not but you must be the judge of the question for yourself.  Regardless of what you ultimately decide, it is certainly at least a good question to decide about what calls itself the most transparent administration in history.  And pigs fly.

Oh, I almost forgot, it was reported yesterday that the Clinton Family Foundation has expended six percent of it's funding in support of charity.  Quite a generous giver, don't you think?

Now go have a great day even though it is very likely that our nation is clearly not in good hands.  I'll see you again tomorrow.

Earth Day: Supporters Disgrace What They Claim to Believe

4/28/2015

There's something that bothers me about this year's Earth Day that I just have to get off my chest.   Actually, there are a few things and they start with the way in which the Left celebrates this event and the basis for their celebration.

Start with President Obama and you see a mad dash to push control over people for things that we don't even know are a problem.  The whole concept of Climate Change that is being pushed is based on factors that prove nothing, for there is no clear empirical evidence by which the Left validates their claim to a warming earth. 

The climate change advocates use computer models, models that are likely to be shown to be based on questionable evidence.  Where you place your measuring mechanisms has more than a lot to do with the results you receive, and more and more of the measurements are taken in heavily populated areas which will naturally generate more heat. Rural locations over the last generation have been used less and less so that, of course, of course the findings will show temperature rise when, in fact, earth temperatures have been holding steady for over eighteen years and are now showing signed of cooling..

And then, when Obama hawks his phony science, he flies via Air Force One over nine hundred miles one way to the Everglades where he draws a sparse crowd (see here) in a swamp prairie, then quickly returns to Washington, resulting in the use of over nine thousand gallons  worth of heavy carbon emissions.  This, like his fellow true believes who last year used over twenty one hundred private carbon spewers to travel to luxurious Davos, Switzerland to feign their support for a cause which their own lifestyle shuns by its very action.  How many scientists do you know who come from Hollywood; these people are actors, trained to play a role not scientists.

And then there's the  piece de resistance. Look at a picture showing just one small portion of the thousands of pounds of trash left on the Washington Mall grounds when the huge Earth Day crowd departed the site this year. It dovetails on last years event in New York City when revelers at a similar event left twelve tons of trash.  It's kind of ironic how they criticize the Tea Party which, when marching on Washington several years ago picked up after itself.  Oh, the hypocrisy of it all.

Yesterday when I tracked the weather forecast before church it stated sunny with  almost zero chance of rain.  While seated in church just two hours later it poured buckets of rain and I mean buckets.  So we can't even predict today's weather a few hours in advance but we're supposed to believe the nonsense that pours out of the mouths of these make-believe experts who tell us what is going on throughout the earth.  Nonsense.  I guess that's why America and the world is waking up to the fact that science is not based on consensus, it is based on facts and these folks surely don't have the facts.  After all, if that were the case we'd get it right on hurricanes wouldn't it.

And think of it another way.  If research scientists receive most of their grants from government and the government has a certain ideology that it wants to support, isn't it natural that the grant seekers will try to produce a result which matches the goal.  While this is just the opposite of what good science is all about, it sadly is often the way things work today.  Think of it as just another angle of the big government-crony capitalims clique that we find so popular today.

Okay, I feel better now that's off my chest.  And yes, climate change does exist, we get four seasons of it yearly and the world has changed forever, but to blame it principally on our carbon footprint when supporters are some of the biggest offenders makes it clearly a sham, a sham designed to control lives and money by people who aren't worthy of our trust, and that includes our illustrious President.  I would suggest they all look out their window at the sun, the glorious sun, with its warmth and its flareups and fluctuations as a much more likely answer.  After all, why do you think that large frozen land mass known as Greenland got it's name?  It used to be a place you could grow vegetables.

Have a great day, everyone  as we start a new week and God bless you all.

Jesus Provides for His "Fishers of Men"

4/26/2015

PictureJesus directs them to the fish
Then Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any food?"

   They answered Him, "No."

    And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some."  So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
                                                                                 -John 21: 5-6 (NKJV)


Following His resurrection, Jesus spent a final fifty days on earth showing Himself to His Disciples and other believers to leave evidence of his returning from the dead.  He visited, ate with them and continued His final teachings to prepare them for what would come.  They still had trouble believing that He would not destroy Rome and bring the earth back to God at this time, but He repeatedly told them that He was not of this earth and would be returning to the Father, only to return at a later unannounced time.

Jesus knew that be His repetitious teachings, often not fully understood by His Disciples, that the meaning would be revealed to them when he was no longer with them.  They would remember His words and the helper He would send, the Holy Spirit, would give them strength and knowledge to labor on in a world that would despise them.

The last of the miracles He performed was during this Pentecost period when He came to the shore and found Peter and the others fishing.  They didn't recognize Him but He asked from the shore (they were close by) if they had food. The responded that the fish were nowhere to be found.  It was then that He said to cast on the  right side of the boat and their nets quickly overflowed with a bountiful catch.

Just then John recognized  Him and shouted to the others causing Peter to jump overboard and pull the fishnet to shore.  They all joined Jesus for a breakfast of fish cooked over hot coals with loaves of bread.  The final miracle was performed on the third occasion where they saw Him since being raised from the dead.

He knew that these Fishers of Men would recall His teachings and that they would all be under constant danger in carrying His message to the world.  But He also knew they were ready and that they would do whatever they must to spread His Word and His Love.

Lord, We thank you for sending your Son, Jesus Christ, to give us the gift of Eternal Life.  Help us to be modern day Disciples, spreading your Word and helping others to make the decision with their own free will to follow you.  Keep us steadfast, strong and diligent, always devoted to you by putting you first in our lives, for by doing so we will never have to fear anything in this world again.  We ask in the name of Jesus Christ, who died that we might live, Amen.

IN HONOR OF OUR FALLEN HEROES

4/25/2015

Picture
A dog mourning over a lost master is a truly sad sight, but it is not nearly so tragic as a father, mother,husband or wife and family that has lost it's beloved who has fallen in harm's way in service to his country.  There truly is no greater love than to give the ultimate sacrifice for others.

On tomorrow's edition of NORTH FLORIDA WRITER TALKS  we will discuss this topic with Deborah Tainsh, a Gold Star Mom who lost her beloved son, Army Sergeant Patrick Tainsh, while he served his country proudly in Iraq in 2004.  While death always brings sorrow, losing one's child is just something that is an unbelievable nightmare for a parent.  We expect our children to live long after we are gone and when the opposite happens, it presents an anguish and a level of pain that is unique in human suffering.

Deborah will tell us the story of Patrick and how he decided that he wanted to serve his country in the Army.  She will relate the grief that she and her husband a retired Marine Corps Sergeant Major felt and the helplessness that comes with the emptiness left behind after Patrick's death.  But she will also tell how she came to cope with her pain by getting involved in helping others suffering from similar situations.  She and her husband co-founded and she is now President of Hearts for Military Heroes, Inc. of Bay County in Florida, a not for profit organization serving the needs of military families facing the difficulty of returning to a reasonably normal life after such tragedy.

This is a story of inspiration and God-given spirit working through a woman who has experienced first hand the impact of war and death.  I think it is important that all Americans understand what our military heroes have done and continue to do for us despite often astounding odds.  America owes them great gratitude and they deserve the best that we can provide in terms of remembrance, love and care.  Fallen, broken or back to normal physical capacity, they all have shared the horrors of war and it will be with them forever.  Honor the commitment that all have bravely given so that we might be free.

Here's the link to Sunday's show airing at 2pm ET on Conservative Report Radio.

It's RINO Identification Day

4/24/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Yesterday the Republican Senate performed another feat which shows just who the real "died in the wool" RINOs are. Oh, there are others who are clearly RINOs, but the ones who proclaimed it with their votes for Loretta Lynch yesterday in the worst traditions of their party.   With their votes, they clearly showed the disdain which they hold for the document designed to guide our destiny, the Constitution of the United States.
 
Following is a list of the ten Republican Senators who voted for Lynch, and with their votes assured the assumption of office of a woman who is even more radical than Eric Holder.  Here is the list:

Mitch McConnell, Majority Leader of the Senate and Senator from Kentucky; Thad Cochran, a man of questionable mental capacity representing Mississippi; Lindsey Graham, the junior Senator from South Carolina who was reelected because the Tea Party splintered into so many factions; Orrin Hatch, a fossil from Utah who has claimed to be the champion of the document he destroyed today; Rob Portman, junior Senator of Ohio most noted for his ability to evolve toward the Left in almost everything he does; Kelly Ayotte, a freshman Senator from New Hampshire who claimed to be a friend of the Tea Party; Susan Collins, always a liberal Republican looking continually for ways to support the Democrats; Jeff Flake, an Arizona freshman who has sold out on almost all issues  after claiming to be a Conservative when he campaigned; Mark Kirk of Illinois, a man who is nearly indistinguishable from your average Chicago Democrat; and finally Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, a man who ran as a Conservative, needed Tea Party support to get elected, and now has decided that the "club" is more important than the country.

Mark Levin made and excellent point last night which really gets to the heart of the matter. Yesterday's vote was a litmus test for the Constitution.  If you voted for Lynch, you obviously don't mind putting in office an Attorney General who will swear allegiance under oath to the Constitution before she immediately refuses to honor her oath. If you voted against, you state that the Constitution trumps any individual, no matter how well trained as a lawyer since enforcing the rule of law, not the whims of man, trumps any other consideration.

I hold Mitch McConnell especially responsible for the action yesterday.  He ran for reelection saying he would fight for America and then the next day stood and said he would cave to Obama without a fight. And yesterday was the icing on the cake as he no longer even gives lip service the rules that have guided this nation so well for over two hundred years.

America is in deep trouble, friends, and it is even quite possible that we are now past the tipping point.  I pray that is not the case and that good Americans join together to make a gigantic change at the top in 2016.  That change must bring the winds of Constitutional Conservatism to power.  I think this is the last chance we have to save the Republic and it can't be saved by continuing down our present course.  Remember what these ten sell-out Republicans did yesterday and vow to never vote again without verifying their words by checking what they have actually done.

May God save the Republic from itself.

Trade Promotion Authority: What's the Rush?

4/24/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
For those of you old enough to remember, the 1992 Presidential campaign was extremely interesting as George Bush and Bill Clinton competed with a third party candidate, Texas businessman Ross Perot.  The two major candidates were both highly supportive of the North American Free Trade Agreement which was under consideration, seeing it as a boom for the United States and her trading neighbors with all gaining great economic strength.

Only Ross Perot, the scrappy little Texan with abounding energy objected, stating that the only thing that NAFTA would create would be a “giant sucking sound coming from the South.” And was he ever correct, for despite all of the hype about how great all of these trade agreements passed since the 1990s would be, the bottom line is since NAFTA was passed the trade balance of America with her trading partners has been a negative eleven trillion dollars.  And with it has come the outsourcing of American jobs, the opening of our borders to all comers with no control whatsoever, and the loss of good jobs for Americans as our manufacturing has moved overseas for cheap labor and tax advantages.

It's almost as if our nation's leaders are bringing us down and there are a number of theories that support that, among them Cloward and Piven.  It's hard to avoid a look at things without realizing that for whatever reason America is being bankrupted.  But perhaps it's as simple as plain greed, for with multi-national corporations being the order of the day, it's easy to come to that conclusion.  Whatever the case, for the Republicans also eagerly seek to give trade promotion authority to Obama to establish a Trans-Pacific Partnership, just know that America will be coming out on the short end of the stick.  We can't as a country continue as a viable entity if we continue following the same course of sheer nonsense. 

Even with good intentions, our bargaining and negotiating with foreign powers has not been good.  While we talk about free trade with our favored trading partners, they nonetheless retain heavy tariffs on American goods, giving them a huge advantage and the rest is history.  We need to stop this now before we find that we have traded away our good resources while, in return, we've brought in cheap appliances and such goods that not only don't hold up, but in the end cost us dearly in so many ways.

You might want to call your Senator and tell him or her to stop the madness this time around.  Just say not to free trade agreements that are anything but free. And with respect to China, tell them why are we dealing with a country that is ramping up its military by huge amounts when we are literally defunding much of ours?  That ought to give them something to think about or at least slow them down a bit.

Be very concerned about what your country is doing.  What you don't know can indeed hurt you.  In fact, it can be quite deadly.  That should be something to think about until we meet again.  God bless.

Scott Walker: Has He Become a Populist on Immigration?

4/22/2015

0 Comments

 
PictureGovernor Scott Walker of Wisconsin
Scott Walker was interviewed by Glenn Beck recently and his remarks concerning the immigration issues facing our country were refreshing.  While the Wisconsin Governor reportedly was in favor of a road to legality and citizenship, his comments with Beck came to a decisively different conclusion.

Look folks, I can understand voters being skeptical whenever a politician comes out with a point of view that changes, but remember, Walker is a different kind of candidate in that he has a knack for continuing his evaluation of issues and he's not afraid to admit when he has made a mistake.  Furthermore, very few politicians in America have shown the courage to meet the demon in his den as Walker did in taking on union thugs with their threats and vile actions both at the Wisconsin Capitol and directed at his family as well.  He weathered that storm effectively three times in four years and never faltered in accomplishing his goals.

As Breitbart reports, Walker told Beck that the first priority in getting America's economy back in order is protecting American workers and wages. He admitted that his views had changed but he met with Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the biggest Senate opponent to mass immigration and realized that the Senator's position was the correct one to take.  He further indicated that in visiting with Texas Governor Greg Abbott he fully realized the necessity for an absolutely  secure border, including both the use of advanced technology and manpower.  Now that is something that the overwhelming majority of Americans are longing to hear and if he portrays it clearly and decisively in his campaign, it will strike a strong chord which has been longed for.

It's refreshing to hear a politicians admit he has made a mistake.  That's not "flip flopping", that's learning and being willing to see and change personnel errors in judgment.  After all, isn't that what we all have to do sometimes?  And Walker's ability to shoot straight, even with an occasional error now and then, makes him human and sometimes we forget just how human politicians are.

Do you believe him or do you think he's just giving us the runaround?  Well, each of us must judge for ourselves.  But having watched his performance in Wisconsin and standing up to the obscene and disgusting tactics that were used against him, I'm going to make the personal judgment that he means what he says.  And if that is correct, Scott Walker has just opened a great new chapter to his message of taking America back again.  And I think it is a winning message with everyone but the crony capitalists and their Chamber of Commerce supporters, including so many shameless pols in Washington.  That in itself is a winning argument.

So we'll just watch how it goes and as of right now I see Scott Walker and Ted Cruz as the two most honest and capable candidates for the Presidency.  Now wouldn't it be nice if the two of them could somehow work out an arrangement and become a team?  That would truly send the Establishment Republicans into a "tizzy" and Hillary into a downward spiral that even her liberal attack dogs can't effectively counter.

God bless both of these men and God bless America.

Rand Paul: "Secret Hillary Scandals"

4/21/2015

0 Comments

 
PictureRand Paul campaigns
One thing about Rand Paul, love him or not, he is an interesting man and really can bring up some unique points in the heat of American politics.  For several days now the Daily Mail of London has been reporting about Paul and his comments on "Secret Hillary scandals" which he is sure will put a real squash on her campaign.  You bet you won't see the story on the front page in one of our main stream media publications.

What Rand is talking about is the new book by Peter Schweitzer, "Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich."  This is a book that is feared by Democrats in the early election cycle because it details how Hillary used her State Department position to gain cash for special favors.  And while some might scoff about this, even the New York Times says his story is masterfully documented.  If the left wing Times validates his efforts, Schweitzer must be on to something.

The book will be on the market on May 5th, the date of its unveiling by the publisher, Harper Collins.  Word came out today that Senator Paul is one of two Republicans in the Senate who has been briefed on the contents, so apparently he has reason to believe that Hillary might be in trouble.

I don't think we should be surprised by this as both of the Clintons have always been shameless when it comes to hawking for money.  They didn't amass a fortune of over one hundred million dollars by being shy about taking advantage of opportunities like giving speeches for two hundred thousand dollars a piece, but using a high government position to directly benefit your finances is a much more serious matter.  I would imagine there is something in the Federal Register that precludes such action, but time will tell.

And this brings up another question if the story is accurate. With a lack of bench strength, who would the Democrats run in Hillary's place?  Would it be Elizabeth Warren, the "Pocahontas" wannabe or Martin O'Malley, the former Maryland Governor who practically bankrupted the Land of the Blackeyed Susan?  Stay tuned and we'll see where this goes.
