“We’ve Been Bussing People In For Fifty Years”
…and we’re not going to stop now.
But don’t say there’s voter fraud!
[Yes, I know I linked this piece yesterday, but I want it to get more love from the search engines]
A Never Trumper
I am not of the mindset that any vote not for Trump is a vote for Hillary, but a vote for Trump is a vote against Hillary. And I need to vote against Hillary. I need to vote against the media.
Yes.
As I’ve written before, there are three reasons to vote for Trump (and really, they’re the only ones).
1) He’s not her
2) Unlike her, he can be impeached and removed, and having him in the White House will (finally) rein in the Executive.
3) It will issue a huge F**K YOU” to the Democrat operatives with bylines.
But read the whole thing. It pretty well sums up my own thoughts.

“Only Trump has a chance to bring this country together, and it’s a slim one.”

Bob Wright on the media: “Well, my concern is that they are so ham-handed about it — they’re so obvious about it — that it won’t work.”
His concern is my fervent hope.

Democrat corruption is much worse than Trump.
Why yes. Yes it is.
[Update a few minutes later]
Only one presidential candidate has actually “wielded the sledgehammer of government against personal enemies.”
Yup. And hint: It’s not Donald Trump. Not that I’d put it past him, of course. But he can be impeached and removed. She cannot.

Richard Nixon could only wish he’d gotten Hillary’s FBI treatment.
Yes. But he was a Republican. And for impeachment and removal purposes, so will Trump be.
[Early-afternoon update]
The rage of the Hillaryite bullies:
I’ve been trying to figure out what common trait binds Clinton supporters together. As far as I can tell, the most unifying characteristic is a willingness to bully in all its forms.
If you have a Trump sign in your lawn, they will steal it.
If you have a Trump bumper sticker, they will deface your car.
if you speak of Trump at work you could get fired.
On social media, almost every message I get from a Clinton supporter is a bullying type of message. They insult. They try to shame. They label. And obviously they threaten my livelihood.
It’s what they do. It’s who they are.
[Update a few minutes later]
“One way to bully is to call the other person the bully. Chelsea could be said to be part of that activity.”
As I’ve often noted recently, this is an election in which the worst things that both campaigns say about the other are generally true.
Climate McCarthyism
Wikileaks exposed it, from Podesta and Steyer:
Since the fivethirtyeight.com uproar, Pielke has quit publishing about climate change. He’s gone on to become a world-leading expert on sports and doping. He now heads the Sports Governance Center at the University of Colorado, which is housed within the university’s athletics department. He has more than 8,000 followers on Twitter and is an active, maybe rabid, tweeter. “I’m having a blast,” he told me. Working on climate change, he said, “you wake up, it’s the same people arguing about the same stuff. In sports, you have no idea what idea you will be writing about. . . . There’s so much going on. There’s so much upheaval.” What lessons did he learn from his stint in the climate-change discussion? He replied that the debate is “almost religious in its intensity.” Instead of having a rational discussion about the best ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the debate has become solely “about power, about who gets to speak and whose voices are deemed legitimate.” The smear campaign against him by Romm and ThinkProgress was designed “to make public speech costly.”
The lawsuit against me and others is mentioned as well. What fascists these people are.
Democrat Operative Creamer
…used terror to wage a war on honesty.
He’s a Democrat. It’s what they do. It’s who they are. Going all the way back to Reconstruction.
Vote McMullin
…get Romney? Theoretically, it could happen. The hardest part is for Trump to win enough to deny her 270, but Utah (or Idaho) will come from Trump, not her.
We’re At War Around The World
…but our campaign is about groping.
Because issues in general, and the foreign-policy record in particular, are disastrous for her. Not to mention her lies and corruption.
Trump’s DC Policy Shop
Is collapsing because no one is getting paid.
I'm as shocked as everyone else that Trump runs his campaign as shoddily as he runs his businesses. Thanks again, Republican primary voters! https://t.co/2YZHFbZtnM

The Clinton Campaign
No, it didn’t deny being complicit in violence at Trump rallies. As Stephen notes:
A lie is the default response from the Clinton Camp, and if pressed they will admit to only as much truth as they absolutely must.
This has been the Clinton’s SOP for more than 30 years, and the Democrat-operatives-with-bylines are usually all-too-happy to play along.
It’s worth noting in this context that Bill Clinton has never denied raping Juanita Broaddrick. But of course, no one will ask him about it.

The incestuous Left and those who provide cover for them:
Extensive evidence from Wikileaks, FOIA responses, and “human sources” of the incestuous and improper coordination between the media and the Democrats have been detailed by Sharyl Attkisson…
Wikileaks promises to unleash even more insider accounts of the Clinton campaign and DNC shenanigans this coming week and has said it has even more current information — material respecting serious wrongdoing by the DNC head Donna Brazile and Clinton’s vice-presidential running mate Timothy Kaine coming up next. James O’Keefe of Project Veritas says that on Monday he is releasing a video of Robert Creamer, shown as a vote fixer in previous videos, coordinating with Clinton and Brazile. “Anything happens to me, there’s a deadman’s switch on Part III, which will be released Monday. @HillaryClinton and @donnabrazile implicated.”
The video is up now.
Hillary Clinton
A liberal society is one in which everybody has free-speech rights. A society in which some people have free-speech rights and some do not, depending on the self-interested whim of people with political power, is a totalitarian society realized to a greater or lesser degree. Heinrich Heine’s advice on the connection between the treatment of books and the treatment of human beings is always and forever relevant.
As I wrote recently, Trump has never read the Constitution. She hates it.
