Hillary Clinton had her maid print out classified material
Since I first saved this story this morning to write about tonight the news has come across the wire that James Comey is dropping the FBI’s second investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, but this story is so outrageous that I still feel the need to write about it.
According to the story Hillary Clinton routinely had her maid print out sensitive information for her, here is more:

Election day is just a couple of short days away. Voting always makes me feel good but this year is different. I have no desire to go to the polls and vote. Of course I will go but the thought of either one of these two people becoming President makes me cringe. Sad but true…

State Department emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop
For the last week the left has been mercilessly attacking James Comey for reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal so close to the election. In doing so the left is disregarding even the possibility that new evidence has come to light. The left is also ignoring the fact that in a sworn deposition Jame Comey told the Congress that he would notify them if anything changed. Well, it has changed with the discovery of Anthony Weiner’s laptop in an unrelated investigation.
Referring to James Comey Barack Obama stated “we don’t work on innuendo” or on “incomplete information.” Just a quick side note: until an investigation is complete aren’t they working on incomplete information while trying to piece it all together? But anyway, despite Barack Obama’s claim it turns out that there actually was new evidence against Hillary Clinton which needed to be followed up on and it is just sour grapes on the part of the Democrats that the timing was not convenient.
Wikileaks: The Department of Justice was in contact with the Clinton campaign during the email investigation
Another day, another Wikileaks revelation. This time we are learning that despite claims to the contrary the Department of Justice was providing information to the Clinton campaign about the original email investigation. Here is more:
this newly released bombshell in which Kadzik provides a very helpful “heads up” about Hillary’s email server investigation. This is what Kadzik emailed to John Podesta (via gmail) on May 19, 2015:
There is a HJC oversight hearing today where the head of our Civil Division will testify. Likely to get questions on State Department emails. Another filing in the FOIA case went in last night or will go in this am that indicates it will be awhile (2016) before the State Department posts the emails.
For weeks the Democrats have been pushing the conspiracy theory that somehow Donald Trump and the Russian government were working together to defeat Hillary Clinton. Since the revelation earlier this week that the FBI was reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal the Democrats have doubled down on this conspiracy theory in an attempt to deflect the attention drawn to the alleged criminal activity of the Clinton crime family.
The FBI has been conducting an investigation into this alleged link and have found no such link, here is more:
Federal officials conducted a wide investigation throughout the summer looking for financial connections between Trump and his operatives and the Russian government in connection with the hacking of Democrat party computers but found nothing, according to The New York Times.
Upon the conclusion of the investigation, the FBI decided that, contrary to claims by Democrats, the hacking may have been aimed at disrupting the election but was not intended to ensure the election of Donald Trump.
The allegations of Trump’s computer ties to the Russian bank were made in an article posted to the liberal Slate.com website.
But news that the FBI is now discounting any such ties coming on the heels of FBI Director Comey’s decision to open another investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal represents a double blow to the Democrats.

Wikileaks: John Podesta told Cheryl Mills ‘we are going to have to dump all those emails’
The newest Wikileaks revelation is a communication between John Podesta and Cheryl Mills in which he tells Hillary Clinton’s aide “we are going to have to dump all those emails.” Here is more:
In today’s, 25th, Wikileaks release of hacked Podesta emails, one of the notable highlights is a March 2, 2015 exchange between John Podesta and Clinton aide Cheryl Mills in which the Clinton Campaign Chair says “On another matter….and not to sound like Lanny, but we are going to have to dump all those emails.”
And he added:
“better to do so sooner than later.”
Perhaps he was simply talking about doing one of Washington’s favorite maneuvers–the Friday document dump–but that seems highly unlikely because the document dump did not ever come. There is also a question of timing here: this email came about two weeks after Hillary Clinton’s email scandal came to light and just two days before the House Select Committee on Benghazi ordered Hillary Clinton to retain all her emails.
I guess we know what happened to those 33,000 emails…

Barack Obama does not believe James Comey is trying to influence the outcome of the election
For the past couple of months Democrats have been telling the American people that FBI Director James Comey was a man of integrity who would never let politics get in the way of his decisions. Let’s be frank about it: they have been heaping all kinds of praise on the man. But that was then and this is now and the situation has changed.
With the news that James Comey has reopened the Hillary Clinton email case because new information has come to light (how dare he!) the Democrats now feel as if the FBI Director is a political hack who is doing the bidding of the Republican party in an attempt to influence the election. It is quite stunning to watch this sudden reversal as Democrats seem to forget that this would not have been an issue in the first place if Hillary Clinton did set up a personal email server in order to avoid FOIA requests. She has nobody to blame but herself.
However there is one Democrat who still believes James Comey is a man of integrity who is not trying to influence the outcome of the election and that person is none other than Barack Obama himself. Here is what White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest had to say earlier today:
FBI Director James Comey dropped a bomb on Hillary Clinton last week when he informed the Congress the FBI was reopening the case into the former Secretary of State’s email scandal after new emails came to light while investigating Anthony Weiner’s underage sexting scandal.
This could pose a bit of a problem for Huma Abedin–one of Hillary Clinton’s most trusted aides–because in a sworn deposition she claimed she turned over all of her devices with work related emails. Here is more:
But the new information that the FBI found State Department-related email on her home laptop also calls into question whether Abedin in fact turned over all of the devices she used to send and receive email while working at State.
On June 28, 2016, Abedin said under oath in a sworn deposition that she looked for all devices that she thought contained government work on them so the records could be given to the State Department. (These records were subsequently reviewed by the FBI.)
It is fairly evident now, if the revelation State Department emails were found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop is true, that Huma Abedin did not in fact turn over all devices with work related emails contrary to her sworn deposition. Huma Abedin’s defense is that she has no idea how work related emails turned up on a computer which was used by her husband.
Top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin has told people she is unsure how her emails could have ended up on a device she viewed as her husband’s computer, the seizure of which has reignited the Clinton email investigation, according to a person familiar with the investigation and civil litigation over the matter.
She is shocked, SHOCKED I say, to learn that these emails existed on her husband’s computer and has no idea how this could possibly have happened. One person who is not shocked however is Donald Trump because he predicted this a year ago…

Well Friday marked one year to the day that I had my surgery and I came home one year ago today. It is hard to believe this much time has already passed so here is Porcupine Tree performing “Time Flies” live from 2009.
I am so grateful and thankful for making it through that day and the ensuing weeks of my recovery and for the blessing in disguise–my return to God and the peace Jesus Christ gave me in my time of need. Philippians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

A Canadian English Professor claims canoes are racist
The PC police are running amok on colleges all across the nation: A University of California fraternity was forced to cancel a fundraiser because coconut bras and grass skirts are racist, the University of St. Thomas was forced to cancel a “hump day” event because they were going to have a petting zoo which included a camel and that was deemed insensitive towards Muslims, and Dartmouth University had to cancel a “phiesta” event because they were selling tacos and that was racist.
Another college had to cancel a “jail and bail” fundraiser and one college even had to cancel a space-themed event because of its supposed allusion to illegal aliens, which obviously was not the type of aliens the campus was talking about. All of these were fundraisers for children and they were shut down.
