Every lawyer I know agrees on one simple principle. Never ask anyone a question to which you do not know the answer. That was never more true that today. Dr. Drew was being interviewed by Doug McIntyre on KABC “McIntyre in the Morning.” He was tossed the typical softball question clearly designed to provide cover to Hillary Clinton. McIntyre started by ridiculing Sean Hannity for daring to question Hillary’s health. He then threw in sarcastic remarks about the silliness of people with no medical background expressing an opinion on the subject:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e3ARRQpyzA

At first, Dr. Drew seemed to be on board when he quickly agreed that neither Sean Hannity nor any other journalist with no medical training was capable of evaluating Hillary’s health. He added that we should never judge someone’s medical condition based on highly edited video clips. But then the interview went completely south. Dr. Drew pointed out that Hillary had actually released medical records and he had personally reviewed them. To make it worse, he discussed with another doctor who is an expert on the subject. They both came to the conclusion that there was reason to be “gravely concerned” about Hillary’s health.” Doug McIntyre was probably the one who needed medical help getting his heart restarted when he heard this response. Talk about stepping in it big time. Dr. Drew went on to say that he was very skeptical regarding the quality of the medical care Hillary was receiving because it could cause the exact type of problems described by Sean Hannity and others. At this point McIntyre must have been throwing up in his waste basket.

Regardless of what you think about Dr. Drew, he oozed sincerity. KABC almost immediately took down the podcast and is desperately trying to pretend this didn’t happen. But there is no chance they can suppress this puppy. Breitbart.com and a lot of other people have the audio file. Thanks Al for inventing the internet. The former CEO of Breitbart is now working for full time for Trump and he knows exactly what to do. While you are reading this the MSM is in emergency session trying desperately to make this just go away. Good luck with that.

I always expected the Clinton News Network (“CNN”) to be all in on Hillary.  I just didn’t expect this to be so obvious and so stupid.  They are so desperate to stop Trump that they got the bit in their mouth and were off to the races before realizing they forgot the rider.  The first time was when Trump made his sarcastic remark about the 2^nd Amendment folks.  CNN literally tried to portray this as a threat to assassinate Hillary.  It was absurd, but typical.  Remember when they tried to accuse Sarah Palin of inciting violence by producing an ad putting Gabby Gifford in the cross hairs of a target.  At least in that case they had a good visual.  In this case they had next to nothing since only a died-in-the-wool Kool-Aid drinking Clintonian would consider swallowing this nonsense.  There are plenty of them, but they are already ready to vote for Hillary regardless of circumstances so they hardly matter.  Incredibly CNN started reporting that the Secret Service was investigating the Trump.  That, of course, was and is ridiculous.

One would think CNN learned its lesson from that fiasco, but no, they haven’t learned a thing.  Trump credited Obama with founding ISIS.  He was obviously being sarcastic but once again CNN seized the day.  They started producing reports slamming Trump for falsely accusing Obama of being the founder of ISIS.  The following screen, produced by the Washington Examiner is priceless:

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/cnn-sends-donald-trump-an-on-screen-message/article/2599138

To make this worse, the ever brilliant Dana Bush told Wolf Blitzer that she looked up the meaning of the word “founder” and it did not appear to be accurate.  Wow!

What CNN actually did was make Trump’s point.  No real person interpreted Trump’s remarks as accusing Obama of sitting around and creating an organization.  That is absurd.  For one thing, Obama has never shown that type of leadership ability.  But by “investigating” whether or not Obama really founded ISIS, CNN ended up making Donald Trump’s point that it was Obama’s incompetence that made it all possible.

Trump is trying desperately to lose this election and he has a real shot. Someone should seriously invest in a case of industrial strength duct tape.  However, at his worst, he cannot match the combined stupidity of the Hillary Clinton campaign and CNN.  The problem for CNN and the liberal left is that the number of people stupid enough to be impressed by this nonsense shrinks daily.  I still don’t think Donald Trump will win, in that a majority of Americans will never “want” him to be President of the United States.  But in the race to the bottom, it sure looks like Hillary is going to be very difficult to stop on her path to becoming the biggest loser.

The main stream media thought they had Donald Trump on the ropes.  So did the Republican Establishment.  Trump stepped in it big time with his unnecessary twitter war with Khizr Khan.  The main stream media immediately leapt into action and tried to portray Trump as an immature bully whose brain often doesn’t engage until long after he has stopped tweeting.  They are right about that.  But they forgot something important.  Khizr Khan has more than a little baggage.  Like the inconvenient fact that he would like to replace the constitution he was holding up with Sharia Law.  In addition when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton started preaching about how disrespectful Trump is to Gold Star mothers they forget how most Gold Star mothers feel about them.  This is a classic example of why people in glass houses should know better than to throw stones.

Khizr Khan has already disappeared from the airways and the main stream media is not exactly looking for him.  He did emerge long enough to opine that “Allah” will destroy Donald Trump.  That plays well on CNN, not so much in Peoria.

CNN stupidly interviewed the widow of a Benghazi victim Tyrone Woods

http://dailycaller.com/2016/08/04/benghazi-widow-blasts-khans-why-is-your-sons-death-more-tragic-than-my-husbands-video/

They thought she would join on the “Dump on the Donald” campaign.  Instead, she rebuked CNN and the rest of the main stream media:

She pointed out that neither Donald Trump nor anyone else ever questioned Captain Khan’s sacrifice or his service or his death.  Then she delivered the blow to the heart:

“So my issue here is I believe that the Khans are only public because they are Muslim. And to me, that sends the wrong message that they are more important than the rest of us. No loss is more or less important than the other,”

BINGO!

Tyrone Wood’s father previously pointed out that he was far less concerned about what Trump said than the fact that Hillary lied to him about the reason for his son’s death.

It gets worse.   CNN, slow to learn, also interviewed Karen Vaugh, mother of Navy Seal Aaron Vaugh:

Typically, CNN tossed her a softball question designed to let her tee it off against Trump.  She didn’t bite. Instead she said actions speak louder than words and she explained how Barack Obama exploited the death of her son and 30 others:

“When my son was killed, he was killed in the largest loss of life in the history of Naval Special Warfare, and we had 30 families at Dover Air Base waiting for our sons’ bodies to be returned from Afghanistan,”  “What we experienced there is the families unanimously asked Barack Obama not to bring any media, to not make this a media event, that he was welcome to be with us but no media.  And you know he showed up with cameras, and the next day our pictures, or his picture saluting the caskets of our boys was plastered over every outlet in America.

I’m just saying if you’re going to be outraged that one person says something that could be construed as a flippant remark without a lot of thought put behind it what about the outrage over things people do, the outrage over Hillary Clinton still to date insinuating those grieving parents who say she said one thing must be mistake.  You know it’s just actions mean a lot more to me than words.”

The main stream media not longer is the sole source of news in this country.  They no longer get to control the narrative.  The truth is coming out and the truth looks very different from the CNN spin cycle.

Democrats think the star are aligned for Hillary and that she is on her way to a landslide victory. The main stream media is in full Clinton campaign mode to make this happen. That is obvious, but keep the faith.

Remember that Democratic pollsters cannot resist cooking the books and these polls are highly suspect.  But more importantly, always remember this. Liberal Democrats are incapable of making good decisions about anything. They cannot manage anything. Nothing they propose works. The more power they are given to implement their idiotic plans the sooner they self-destruct.

Hillary feels the wind beneath her sails flying merily along on the winds of the fawning main stream media.  Nothing could be more dangerous for an inherently corrupt, incredibly stupid and unbelievable incompetent bobble head like Hillary Clinton.

I watched Donald Trump step in it all week fighting a losing battle over a meaningless video. I wondered how anyone could support someone so immature and stupid to be President of the United States.  Could then possibly be a bigger loser than this?

Then I watched Hillary Clinton interviewed by Chris Wallace and saw her try to explain how the FBI report that proved she was a liar somehow confirmed her version of reality.  Even the Atlantic, which still thinks she would be a wonderful President, asked if it was possible for her to stop lying.  Wow, there actually is someone dumber than Donald Trump.

It is now clear that this election will not be won by either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump; it will be lost by whichever of these candidates wins the race to the bottom.  The only person who can help Hillary Clinton get elected President of the United States is Donald Trump.  The only person who can help Donald Trump get elected President of the United States is Hillary Clinton.  Either way the biggest loser is the country.

I wondered how things could possibly be worse.  Then it struck.  All it required was for me to turn on my television.  There was the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, explaining why Donald Trump is totally unprepared to be the next President of the United States.  This caused me to leap with joy for two reasons.  One is that in 97 days, 15 hours, 49 minutes and 15 seconds, someone other than Barack Obama will be elected President of the United States.  In 170 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 59 seconds, he will no longer be President of the United States.  The other thing that gave me hope is this simple reality.  Over the past eight years I cannot recall a single instance where Barack Obama was right about anything.  If he thinks Donald Trump is unqualified for the job, I can think of no higher endorsement.

The conventional wisdom is that Hillary Clinton will win the election because all of the blacks and most of the Hispanics will automatically vote for her. That, of course, is true. In addition, federal judges are rapidly overturning voter ID laws, just in time to give Democrats one more chance to steal a national election. The DNC has millions to spend, the RNC next to nothing. The DNC establishment and the main stream media are all in on Hillary Clinton. All the stars are aligned for the first female President of the United States. What could possibly go wrong? The answer is Donald Trump.

The corrupt Democratic/Main Stream Media machine has finally achieved its goal. They have created an environment where the only thing that matters any more is celebrity status. The candidate with the most name recognition always wins. No one cares if the person has the character and the temperament to be President. No one even cares about the issues. The general election has been replaced with a reality TV show.

In spite of massive support by the DNC, Hillary was nearly taken out by a 74 year old socialist who isn’t technically a Democrat. Hillary won (secured) the nomination, but she left millions of people feeling the Berne.

Donald Trump won despite wide spread resistance by the RNC. Ironically, in the attempt to destroy Trump the main media made him bigger than life. Trump is an arrogant blow hard bully, but he is comfortable in his own skin and he is all too real. Hillary is an illusion, a bobble head pretending to be a person. She is a caricature not a candidate. If Hillary actually has a skin it was probably painted on.

I just watched her interview with Chris Wallace. It was stunning. She gave very smooth, well-rehearsed responses that are impossible to believe. She was Secretary of State, one of a handful of people authorized to designate information as classified, yet incredibly she blames everything on the 300 people who worked for her while simultaneously praising their professionalism. This was the response one would expect from a pre-programmed robot, not from a real person. Most people would get angry if you accused them of lying. Hillary acted like Wallace was talking about someone else.

So this election is down to the pathetic choice between a bully and a bobble head. One of these people is going to be the next President of the United States. That is not exactly grounds for optimism. I think people will ultimately vote for the bully, because the bully is real while at some point it becomes obvious that a bobble head is a bobble head. Even a very expensive and well-crafted bobble head pales in comparison to a human being.

There has been a lot of focus on alleged plagiarism by the Trump family at the RNC convention.  All of these charges are accurate.  However, the main stream media, once again, missed the forest for the trees.  Anyone who has ever watched a Democrat or a liberal interview soon realizes that they stopped answering questions years ago.  Liberals just repeat the same talking points over and over again. The following article from Forbes, intended to hurt the Trumps, just makes my point:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/johntamny/2016/07/24/forget-melania-its-donald-trump-who-is-lifting-applause-lines-from-democrats/#15b301fa12ad

Forget the fact that this is a typical liberal commentary who assumes truth can only defined as making the same assumptions as liberals.  He is right about what has happened. Trump is beating Democrats at their own game.  He is fighting talking points with talking points.  Now that he has won the nomination, he has changed strategy slightly.  He now adds in Democratic talking points.  This is driving the media crazy.  How dare anyone other than a liberal Democrat repeat the same nonsense and expect people to take them seriously.  When a liberal Democrat talks about racial equality, the main stream media thunders approval.  When a Republican talks about racial equality the main stream media responds with cynicism and distain.

Trump is a formidable actor in the theater of the absurd. He is a celebrity who knows how to play the game.  He crafted his skill on Celebrity Apprentice.  Donald knows how to work a room.  He is the master at the grand entrance.  When filming Celebrity Apprentice, cameras are always positioned so that Donald looks significantly larger than anyone else in the room.  The chairs on his side of the room are always higher than the chairs on the other side. His chair is always higher than everyone else.  It is always a mismatch which ends with Donald firing someone.  If someone is actually paying attention, Donald frequently fires the wrong person. That doesn’t matter to Donald.  What matters is putting on a good show and pumping up ratings.  He is a master at that.

Donald is going to use more and more Democratic talking points and it is going to drive them crazy.  How are they to distinguish between campaigns when they are both using the same tired and ineffective liberal clichés?  So far, they have resorted to calling this plagiarism, but that would be like saying God Bless America is plagiarism.  Yes, Donald is stealing lines from Democrats.  Yes it is noticeable.  So noticeable that one must ask the main stream media a simple question.  You guys just figured this out?

Chris Christie, a former prosecutor, indicted Hillary Clinton on national TV. The jury (audience) screamed guilty. Democrats were appalled so the New York Times fact checking machine went into gear. It could not find one mistated fact by Christie. The best it could do on a couple of items is moan that it wasn’t necessarily “all” Hillary’s fault. Ouch!

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/pj-gladnick/2016/07/20/

CNN moaned about Donald Trump’s dark and gloomy speech. The Philadelphia Inquirer published the traditional fact check by factcheck.org. It did not find a single fact mistated by Trump. The best it could do was say that Hillary was exonerated by the FBI, but in reality that is not true. She wasn’t exonerated, the FBI merely chose not to recommend indictment:

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/FactCheck_Donald_Trumps_big_speech.html

CNN kept promising the results on an instant poll.  They delayed reporting the results until long after prime time.  Now we know why. Trump knocked it out of the park. Only 24% of the people who watched that speech viewed it negatively. Most of them work as analysts on CNN.  The rest are organizers for Black Live Matters.

There’s more. The following video from yesterday shows what appears to be Hillary Clinton having a seizure. At best, this is way beyond weird. This has not hit the main stream media or even any of the mainstream blogs, so it has not been vetted. But there are multiple videos of the same event from different angles, so this looks very real:

https://youtu.be/9pF7sOGbCkk

https://youtu.be/jtU5nMbEsQ4

https://youtu.be/QzCQg94oOmk

Now imagine you are a Democratic stategist. You watched Chris Christie indict Hillary Clinton on national TV. You watched the Trump children dazzle the world. Then you saw Donald Trump knock it out of the park.   You look around for the savior who is supposed to save the day for you next week. You see this video. Can you think of a word stronger than panic?

I decided to watch CNN’s coverage of the Republican Convention for two reasons.  One is that the SF Giants had the day off and there was little else on.  The other was that I sometimes watch the enemy because they provide better insight into how the liberal left actually views things.

Three things stood out.  CNN played the speech by the mother of Sean Smith in its entirety.  It was devastating.  While there will be the typical liberal complaints that this was hate speech and that it exploited tragedy, it was riveting.  Regardless of whether or not you think it was appropriate to have her speak, the honesty was overpowering.  It was impossible to listen to that speech and not realize that Hillary Clinton is not just a liar, she is a cold-hearted ass.  When this woman said the State Department refused to talk to her because she was not “next of kin” it sent a shudder through the audience.

Melanie Trump’s speech was not a complete disaster, which is the most anyone should have expected.  Yes, the speech writer plagiarized Michelle Obama.  But, a little research will show that those same lines were plagiarized by someone the speech writer for Michelle Obama.

http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/if-melania-trump-plagiarized-michelle-obama-2008-speech-then-michelle-obama-plagiarized-hers

Obama himself plagiarized lines from Cory Booker.  The main stream media will ignore that sad reality, but it doesn’t matter.  Melania Trump is still Melania Trump and nothing changed.

The speeches ranged from mediocre to terrible.  Perhaps the worst speech was the one given by Michael Flynn more than justifying Donald Trump’s decision to dump him as a VP Candidate.  Joni Ernst was also bad with the added distraction that people were getting up and leaving in droves.  But then she delivered a moment that was pure magic.  It just may have been the best moment of the night.  CNN stupidly interviewed Joni Ernst.  They totally underestimated her.  When she started talking about the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal she eviscerated Hillary on national television.  Instead of the stiff woman with the squeaky voice reading poorly from a teleprompter, they were confronted with a brilliant professional woman who commanded an Army Transportation unit during the Iraq War.  She was riveting.

She said she was not sure whether Hillary Clinton deserved to be in jail, but that this scandal should disqualify her from being President of the United States.  Then, as a former Armey Commander she talked about her own training with regard to classified information and she delivered what should be a fatal blow to Hillary Clinton.  She said she was appalled that Hillary lacked the intelligence to recognize classified information and the need to protect it.  She was calm, professional and impossible to ignore.

No one at CNN challenged her on that point, they were shocked into silence.  The looks on their faces were those of people who had just been delivered a harsh dose of the cold hard truth.

I doubt that many people will see that interview and that is the real shame.  Shortly after this the Melania plagiarism scandal broke and CNN quickly moved on to covering that.  They pointed out, correctly, that this was a really stupid mistake, not by Melania Trump but rather by the Trump campaign.  They are right about that. Once again carelessness by Trump provided an unnecessary distraction just when Hillary was being decimated on national television.

We seem to be frozen in time.  The same thing happens over and over again.  Hillary Clinton is reeling from body blow after body blow.  She is only kept upright because she has the good fortune to be in the ring with someone too self-absorbed and too clumsy to just let her fall flat on her face.  The only thing that can rescue Hillary Clinton from herself is the person the Republicans are about to choose to be their candidate in the general election.  Frozen.

The following article is a classic example of how the liberal left can look at evidence and immediately ignore the obvious:

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/stopped-52-times-by-police-was-it-racial-profiling/ar-BBu75xK?ocid=spartanntp

The assumption is that Philip Castile was stopped 52 times because of racial profiling.  One should note that these traffic stops happened over a span of 14 years, so we are talking about 3 to 4 stops per year.  Of course there is no actual evidence of racial profiling:

No recent information is available on the racial breakdown of drivers stopped or ticketed by police in Falcon Heights, the mostly white suburb where the shooting occurred, or in other Minnesota towns. Minnesota is not among the handful of states that require police to keep such data.

This reminds me of how the New Jersey Highway Patrol was severely criticized for profiling black drivers.  This had to be true, because black drivers got more speeding tickets. Then someone did a real study.  The results were spectacular but odds are you don’t know that.  This study looked at cars that were speeding where cameras verified the race.  This showed that black drivers were routinely speeding more than white drivers.  When the original study was adjusted to show what percentage of drivers actually speeding got speeding tickets it turned out that whites were more likely than blacks to get a ticket.

That is the problem with the liberal media.  They start every article with an assumption, often incorrect, and then mold the facts to fit their opinion.  If you want to know why this guy was stopped so many times, ask any cop you know.  They will quickly tell you that they usually have a reason for pulling you over.  In some cases they may have had a directive from management to issue more tickets. There have even been cases where police were given a quota of tickets to issue.  But those cases appear to be rare.  In reality police pull people over because something brings this to their attention. I remember once riding with a police officer in a Dallas neighborhood about two o’clock in the morning.  He noticed a white guy driving slowing down the street.  He turned around, put on his flashers and pulled him over for not having a front license plate.  I asked him why he did that and he said:

“A white guy in this neighborhood at this hour is either lost or looking to buy drugs.  In either case, I want to talk to him.”  In this particular case, the guy was lost.  You can call this profiling if you prefer, but what is the option?  To pull a TSA and strip search everyone so you avoid appearing to profile the people most likely to be a risk?

What this article ignored was why this guy was pulled over in the first place.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/07/08/confirmed-philando-castile-was-an-armed-robbery-suspect-false-media-narrative-now-driving-cop-killings/

It wasn’t because of a broken tail light.  This happened during broad day light. There is a video showing the tails working.  But more significantly we know why he was pulled over.  There is a recording of the traffic stop and the police officers told dispatch why they were pulling this car over.  There was a BOLO for an armed suspect who held up a store in the area two days earlier.  This guy met the description.

By the way, how many times have you heard that he had a CCW?  So far, no one has found any evidence that he had a CCW.  It appears as though liberals confused authorization to purchase a gun and a CCW permit.  Yes, they are that stupid.  If this is accurate, then he couldn’t have been reaching for his CCW permit because he didn’t have one.

By the way, if you look at the video which has caused so much outrage, you can see what looks like a gun in the picture.  The witness says he was reaching for his CCW permit which was on his left thigh.  That would be a silly place to carry a CCW, but a logical place to carry a gun.

At a minimum there is a lot more to the story, but the main stream media has already portrayed this as an unjustified killing of a black man.  Have you ever wondered about that?  Whenever a police officer shoots a black man, all the activists assume the officer is guilty and the black man is innocent.  Then they claim the problem is too many people assume guilt without evidence.  That is true, but so far it sure looks like cops are the ones most likely to be falsely accused.  Far too often police officers are tried and convicted in the court of public opinion in a rush to judgement with little or no regard to the actual facts.  It doesn’t help with the President of the United States weighs in with a patently false charge that we have an epidemic of white police officers killing black people without just cause. There is little evidence of that.  The real epidemic is black on black crime and now a dramatic increase in the murder of police officers.

The “victim’s” family has already raised huge sums of money and they are instant celebrities.  People are protesting all over the country and five police officers, from Dallas Texas, were murdered at least partially because too many black people really think cops routinely shoot black guys for no reason. Wow, that really does wonders for race relations in this country.

In case like this, the false narrative tends to live on while the truth is buried.  We still see signs at the rallies saying “Hands up, don’t shoot” even though that is based on a patently false eye witness account by a Michael Brown accomplice.  Unfortunately the video of this guy making these false charges  was broadcast everywhere and far too few people know that his story was so obviously false that even Eric Holder had to acknowledge that and he recommended no charges be brought against the officer who shot Michael Brown.

The best solution to any problem is to start with the truth.  Instead we are witnessing the tragic results when the main stream media helps promote a patently false narrative.  In reality police, including white police, are not the problem with regard to the devastating increase in black on black crime.  They are the solution.  This false narrative may pay huge political dividends but only at tremendous personal cost to the people these false prophets claim to represent.

I used to work for a Ford dealer in Plymouth, Wisconsin. One day I overheard him talking to one of his salesmen. He said: “If you are going to drink on the job, stop drinking vodka. I want people to know you are drunk, not stupid.”

The same advice should have been given to those people trying to defend Hillary Clinton. This is why this e-mail scandal is going to hurt her a lot more than Democrats will admit:

From http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/penny-starr/hoyer-clinton-had-no-intent-be-extremely-careless-classified-information

The question from a CNS reporter:

“FBI Director Comey said yesterday that Secretary Clinton and her colleagues ‘were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.’ Do you believe people who are extremely careless in their handling of highly classified information should have security clearances?”

Hoyer’s response:

“I think that Secretary Clinton as Secretary of State — and Comey clearly concluded — had no intent or thought that she was in fact being careless. I know that’s Mr. Comey’s conclusion.”

Although most people ignore CNS, sometimes with considerable justification, the question is spot on and Democrats better come up with a lot better response.

As a former linguist let me translate: Secretary Clinton is not a criminal, she is just incredibly stupid.

At some point the following will become obvious.  It doesn’t really matter if what Clinton did was criminal, what matters is that no one, and I mean no one, is pretending this is responsible behavior.  Hoyer didn’t actually answer the question because he has no answer.

But he did say something else that is a huge problem for Democrats and for Hillary Clinton:

“I think everybody agrees that Comey is a person of great integrity,” Hoyer said. “I don’t think that this is a question that he did this politically.”

The he added something that is really significant:

“Some of it was – as the previous question indicated – critical,” Hoyer said. “And others of it concluded that there was no intent here – apparently no damage – I mean he didn’t mention any damage had occurred.”

This is why people like Judicial Watch and others are desperately trying to get their hands on those e-mails.  It is why Comey’s decision to not recommend prosecution may create serious problems for Hillary because it is increasingly difficult to justify withholding them from the public.   As soon as they are available an army of analysts will seize the day and start looking for “damage.”  If they find serious damage to national security it will be difficult, if not impossible for senior Democrats to continue providing cover for Hillary Clinton.
