Pence: The Media Is Ignoring 'an Avalanche of Hard Evidence About Clinton's Corruption' - Breitbart:
"On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Republican vice-presidential nominee Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN) said while his running mate Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is under heavy media scrutiny, the media is ignoring “an avalanche of hard evidence about corruption, pay to play, political favoritism emanating out of Hillary Clinton’s years as secretary of state.”

Donald changed my mind. I'm voting for him.
Donald changed my mind. I'm voting for him. (commentary) | SILive.com:
"Many of the Republicans who will be voting for Donald Trump next month do not like him but they despise Hillary Clinton even more.
He certainly wasn't my first choice.
...I still thought Trump as president was a horrible joke and it wasn't until I heard from my brother Joe, who is battling fourth stage cancer, that I started opening my mind to the possibility that Trump was somehow meant to be.
Joe is a former Marine being treated at a Veteran's Hospital in the state of Washington.
He spoke passionately to me about how Trump was talking about every thing that needed to be said: Obamacare, the VA scandal, IRS corruption, criminal illegals, a corrupt DOJ and FBI covering up for Obama and Hillary.
The Democrats and our president were afraid to use the word Islamic jihadists when naming terrorists; and he liked the fact that Donald Trump said that global warming is a hoax while Obama was claiming this was a bigger threat than terrorism.
Mexico has a wall yet only Trump insists that we have one too,..
With Donald Trump as the GOP candidate, the mainstream media was not only energized to defeat him they were getting funding from billionaires like George Soros and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
Mr. Bezos bought the Washington Post and hired 20 extra reporters to dig up dirt on Trump. Predictably, negative Trump reports are coming out daily from the NY Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the mainstream media.
They are all in the tank for Hillary and have abandoned any journalistic ethics.
But Donald Trump is neither a Mitt Romney nor any of the other genteel Republicans who refused to get down and dirty with the opposition and ended up losing the battle.
He is a New Yorker and sometimes crude, crass and politically incorrect.
What he is not is a racist or a homophobe.
All one has to do is visit his establishments and see what he did when he took over the old Commodore Hotel and turned it into the Grand Hyatt.
Most of the staff there are blacks, Hispanics, Asians, legal immigrants and gays making a very good living.
Has anybody bothered asking Hillary how on earth she became a millionaire working for the government?
...We are sick and tired of mealy mouth politicians who betray us once we put them in office.
So come Nov. 8th, I'll have no problem voting for him.
Abraham Lincoln was told by A. K. McClure, a Pennsylvania politician that he should get rid of General Grant.
Lincoln took a long time before he answered, "I can't spare this man. He fights."
If there's one thing this country needs in this very sick world, it's a leader who will fight.
Go Trump."

- I had also found that a good portion of the electorate had only been exposed to a media that was both hostile and biased towards the right wing and thus getting the whole story out was quite a challenge. Few of these low-info voters understand the significance of Clinton's email scandal and Benghazi. She is ultimately responsible for the Libyan crisis because she backed the anti-Qaddafi rebels that led to his death and the destabilization of Libya.
- Everything that Hillary did as Secretary of State was totally self-serving and earned the Clintons millions of dollars for their Foundation.
- If she wins, the Supreme Court Justices she nominates will be dismantling the Bill of Rights and the progressive tyranny of the minority will reign.

Another Way Pension Liabilities Are Mismeasured
Another Way Pension Liabilities Are Mismeasured - The American Interest:
"Regular readers of this blog know that a pension meteor is headed for state and local governments, and that deceptive accounting practices obscure the likely scope of the destruction.
The biggest source of confusion has to do with rates of return:
Most pension funds assume that their assets will grow at rates of seven to eight percent per year indefinitely, a virtual impossibility in this age of low interest rates and sluggish growth.
A recent Governing magazine report highlights another way liabilities can be mismeasured.
Many taxpayers live in jurisdictions that are on the hook for pensions from many different government agencies, including city governments, county governments, and school districts.
So while the per capita pension debt for the City of Denver is just $709 per capita, for example, the “overlapping” obligations on its taxpayers are actually nearly eight times that high:
At the end of fiscal year 2015, Dallas had an unfunded pension obligation of $1,371 per capita. Denver’s was barely half that at $709 per capita.
From that number alone we might conclude that Denver is in much better financial shape.
But now let’s add a few crucial layers of complexity.
Overlapping means two or more jurisdictions share some portion of their respective property tax bases.
We can think of a region’s property tax base like money in a shared savings account:
When one jurisdiction takes money out, there’s less for everyone else.
Dallas shares parts of its property tax base with 20 other governments, including counties, schools, hospitals and community colleges.
These other entities’ unfunded pension obligations add up to $1,362 per capita.
Denver shares its tax base with just one other entity — the Denver School District — but that district’s pension obligation is a comparatively high $4,876 per capita.
So Dallas’ total direct and overlapping pension obligation is $2,733 per capita;
Denver’s is $5,585.
Numbers publicly touted by politicians, unions and the actuaries they employ tend to downplay the $3.4 trillion problem and the existential threat it poses to blue model governance nationwide.
A sustainable fix to America’s public pensions will likely require intensive reforms to state and local governance, including the replacement of defined-benefit plans with 401(k)s and robust checks on the lobbying and political power of public sector unions.
But the first step toward implementing these changes is for public administrators to come clean with taxpayers about the extent of the mess they are in.
Until public sector pension funds are governed by the same rigorous accounting rules that apply in the private sector, it’s likely that instead of gradual reforms, states and localities will continue to govern by crisis, propping up the current system with every last cent and then declaring bankruptcy or asking for bailouts when it all comes tumbling down."

Clinton’s Disgraceful Three-Headed Crime Has Compromised the FBI
Clinton’s Disgraceful Three-Headed Crime Has Compromised the FBI | Observer:
"The first Clinton-Trump debate was Benghazi-less and all but criminality-less—but criminality wasn’t totally absent.
In a brief exchange early in the debate, Donald Trump mentioned Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 missing emails.
“That was more than a mistake. That was done purposely. OK?” Trump said, adding, “when you have your staff taking the Fifth Amendment—taking the Fifth so they’re not prosecuted—when you have the man that set up the illegal server taking the Fifth, I think it’s disgraceful.”
...“Taking the Fifth” is what mobsters and other guilty real world crooks do when they know the DA or the congressional committee has the goods.
Hollywood and television murder mysteries often portray “taking the Fifth” as a shameless and arrogant admission of guilt.
As the guilty perp takes the Fifth, she grins sardonically, implicitly daring the cops, the prosecutors—perhaps an informed and non-Democrat presidential debate moderator, if there is such a creature—to prove the charge.
As a motif, taking the Fifth combines criminality and brazen evasion of justice.
...Hillary’s two great frauds are linked at the hip… and cankles.
I refer to The Great Benghazi Lie and the crime Democrat operatives-with-by-lines dub “The Email Scandal.”
Understand “The Email Scandal” is a befogging term employed to camouflage a complicated three-phased crime.
This is the triple crime Trump called “disgraceful,” the crime upon crime upon crime that led Hillary’s aides and employees to “take the Fifth” to avoid implicating themselves in its linked illegalities and to avoid committing felony perjury in sworn testimony.
...Felony perjury, however, is another matter.
...But Hillary’s triple isn’t classy.
It’s ugly.
It’s a living monster that began in 2009 and continues.
Thanks to the FBI’s compromised director, Jim Comey, and an obstruction of justice operation with tentacles throughout the Obama Administration,
Hillary’s disgraceful Three-Headed Crime is on-going.

FBI: Witnesses found 'sensitive' Clinton file on Romanian server | Washington Examiner:
"Newly released notes from the FBI's year-long investigation into Hillary Clinton's server suggests independent groups discovered potentially classified Clinton documents on a Romanian server while searching for evidence that her network had been breached.
The 100 pages of "302s," or summaries from interviews conducted during the FBI investigation, indicated an unidentified witness consulted Newt Gingrich in August 2015 about how to orchestrate an outside review of potential intrusions into Clinton's server. A "senior staff member" on the Senate Judiciary Committee was also involved, according to the notes."

Potential Corporate Welfare Binge Risks Second Michigan ‘Lost Decade’
Potential Corporate Welfare Binge Risks Second Michigan ‘Lost Decade’ [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"During Michigan’s economic “Lost Decade” of the 2000s, state government seemed to have just one response for crushing income and employment declines that cost some 800,000 residents their jobs between 2000 and 2010: more corporate welfare.
If there was any evidence this approach works to turn around an ailing economy — there is not — it still could not have overcome the massive drag imposed on the Michigan economy by business and income tax increases enacted in 2007, and smaller exactions like a 2004 property tax hike.
...But corporate welfare is always an attraction for politicians.
Today, in the absence of any overarching growth agenda, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are falling back into past bad habits.
Indeed, the upcoming lame duck legislative session could see a corporate welfare blowout.
To protect his legacy of growth and reform, Gov. Snyder should be prepared to wield a sharp veto pen.
One bipartisan proposal could deliver potential taxpayer subsidies to Dan Gilbert of Quicken Loans and other downtown developers.
Fiscal analysts can't yet estimate the costs. Snyder has raised some concerns but not taken a public position on the idea.
Another bill from Rep. Holly Hughes (R-Manistee) proposing a new kind a port authority is being pitched with various “economic development” rationalizations.
The measure passed the House in a bipartisan vote on September 22.
It could deliver port revenue to politically well-connected developers while leaving taxpayers holding the bag if things go badly.
The owners of two privately owned port facilities in Muskegon are not amused at the prospect of competition from their own local government.
One of them said in press reports that he and the other operator can easily handle any new demand for shipping cargo into Muskegon and adding another player would be counterproductive, and unfair too.
Hughes has struggled to justify how this legislation is a net plus for her region or the state.
When pressed in a WJR radio interview, she told host Frank Beckmann to call someone else for details.
...Today, in addition to Hughes's legislation and the Gilbert proposal, there’s also a “public-private partnership” bill introduced by Sen. Mike Kowall.

Report: One-third of millennials think George W. Bush killed more people than Stalin
Report: One-third of millennials think George W. Bush killed more people than Stalin - The College Fix
"The first “Annual Report on U.S. Attitudes Towards Socialism” by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation contains some rather interesting tidbits therein, and demonstrates a large disconnect between the generations.
The Daily Signal reports that only 55% of millennials believe communism is “still is a problem in the world today,” whereas 80% of baby boomers and 91% of the elderly generation do.
A mere 42% of millennials view capitalism favorably compared to 64% of those over age 65.
Astonishingly, the report shows that 32% of millennials think that more people died due to the policies of George W. Bush than those of the USSR’s Josef Stalin.
Let that sink in.
From the article:
Just 37 percent of millennials had a “very unfavorable” view of communism, compared to 57 percent of Americans overall. Close to half (45 percent) of Americans aged 16 to 20 said they would vote for a socialist, and 21 percent would vote for a communist. …
When millennial respondents were asked about their familiarity with various historical communist figures, 42 percent were unfamiliar with Mao Zedong, 40 percent with Che Guevara, and 33 percent with Vladimir Lenin—three notorious figures in communist regimes.

- A hotline for University of Florida students to report culturally insensitive Halloween costumes has backfired after a Fox Sports commentator instigated a series of prank calls to the number.
- Fox Sports commentator Clay Travis prank called the line during one of his live shows, pretending to be a gay student offended by a Harambe costume, and then shared the number with his audience.
- Since then, at least 40 prank calls have come in, taxing the hotline's resources by forcing the school to investigate false reports.

"Department of State security officers found then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton so unpleasant they refused to work on her security detail, a former agent claims in newly-released FBI documents.
The FBI Monday released 100 pages of documents relating to its investigation of Clinton’s private email server.
The documents incorporate summaries of several interviews the FBI conducted, including one with a woman who served as an agent with the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) during Clinton’s time as secretary of state.
During her interview, the agent said Clinton treated agents rudely and with contempt, and was so unpleasant that senior agents typically avoided being on her security detail.
“[Redacted] explained that CLINTON’s treatment of DS agents on her protective detail was so contemptuous that many of them sought reassignment or employment elsewhere,” the interview summary says.
“Prior to CLINTON’s tenure, being an agent on the Secretary of State’s protective detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agents.
However, by the end of CLINTON’s tenure, it was staffed largely with new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her.”
...“From her own experience, and information obtained through [redacted] and other agents, [redacted] described a ‘stark difference’ between [Condoleezza] RICE and CLINTON with regard to obedience to security and diplomatic protocols,” the summary says.
“RICE observed strict adherence to State Department security and diplomatic protocols while CLINTON frequently and ‘blatantly’ disregarded them.”
The agent said that it is standard diplomatic and security protocol for the secretary of state to travel by armored limousine with the U.S. ambassador when visiting a foreign country.
“CLINTON refused to do so, instead choosing to be accompanied in the limousine by her Chief of Staff, HUMA ABEDIN.
This frequently resulted in complaints by ambassadors who were insulted and embarrassed by this breach of protocol,” the summary says.
Clinton’s breaches of protocol, it adds, were “well-known throughout Diplomatic Security and were ‘abundant.'”

Almost half of men shave their legs
Almost half of men shave their legs:
"Almost half of men admit to trimming or shaving their leg hair - an eyebrow raising admission, even for a generation of spornosexual manscapers.
Male hair trimming that rarely concerns body hair south of the border, unless you’re a professional swimmer or cyclist - but these days average Joes everywhere are taking razors to their hairy pins.
Surveying their Facebook followers, Men’s Health found that while the majority of men are not completely shaving their legs, a surprising 15 per cent are, while a further 33 per cent admitted:
“I don’t shave clean, but I do use a trimmer to cut it down”.
That’s nearly half of the men polled that are tackling their leg hair in some way or form - but why?
Following the fruition of the metrosexual, its initiator Mark Simpson has coined the next stage in its evolution as the spornosexual; a group of men who strive to look like sportsmen or porn stars..."

Warming Alarmists Redefine What A Hurricane Is So We'll Have More Of Them
Warming Alarmists Redefine What A Hurricane Is So We'll Have More Of Them | Stock News &Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Wether they admit it out loud or not, many global warming alarmists want more destructive weather events to validate their assumptions.
But what happens when they can't get their "dirty weather," as Al Gore calls it?
Then they'll just have define down what a disaster is.
Eleven years ago, Gore swore that "the science is extremely clear now."
Global warming was "magnifying" the "destructive power" of the "average hurricane," he said.
Man's impact on the environment "makes the duration, as well as the intensity of the hurricane, stronger."
The weather refused to cooperate with Gore and the U.S. went 11 years without a hurricane making landfall.
But Hurricane Matthew renewed the alarmists' faith in their own nonsense.
Acting is if 11 days rather than 11 years had passed, Gore said last week that in Hurricane Matthew, "Mother Nature is giving us a very clear and powerful message."
From the same stage in Florida, Hillary Clinton said "Hurricane Matthew was likely more destructive because of climate change."
The Washington Post, ever dutiful to the man-made global warming narrative, asked climate scientist Michael Mann (whose hockey stick chart supposedly proves human-caused warming but fails the test for some) about her statement.
Naturally, he told the Post she was "absolutely" right.
...the climate-hysteria movement needs a new approach.
It has to in essence redefine what a hurricane is so that what had before been tropical storms and hurricanes that didn't make landfall will in the future be catastrophic "hurricanes" or "extreme weather" events that they can point to as proof that their fever dreams are indeed reality..."
