Clinton Suffers From Convenient "Selective Memory Lapse" Syndrome

"I don't recall..." the useful tome used by President Ronald Reagan when he was being grilled by a hostile Democratic subcommittee (I think it was in the "Irangate" investigation, whether arms were traded for the release of the hostages [when President Reagan took office], or not). But Clinton has taken the traditional Presidential "Fifth Amendment Plea" to the extreme!

First, most people were so glad to be rid of the incompetent Carter Administration (they of the helicopters-in-the-sandstorm-fiasco) that they didn't really care how Reagan got the hostages out, just that he did! Second, his election was already past, and they could recognize a "sour grapes" Congressional hearing when they saw one. So, Reagan was obviously withholding information from Congress that the American public really didn't care about, and they new that the Democrats were on a "fishing expedition" to find some impeachable offense to get rid of the President that the majority of America had just elected.

Hillary's situation is quite different. She hasn't even been elected yet, and it's not a matter of protecting herself from legal prosecution, it's a matter of protecting her "electability" image, as an honest, and wise, (and, yes, "legal") Presidential candidate! If she can't convince the voters that she held those characteristics as Secretary of State, how will she convince them that she will "miraculously" find them as President??? She can "stone-wall" the F.B.I., but she can't force the voting public to believe her, when they don't need "legal proof" to form their opinion of her, before voting. As I said before, it doesn't matter to me whether the Clintons spend the next four years in jail, or whether they take all their "slush-fund" bribery money to Switzerland, and live like royalty, God will settle accounts with their behavior, eventually. And He "recalls" everything,whether they do, or not!

The important thing is that the voting public recognizes her as the incompetent liar she is, and wakes up in time to keep them (both) out of the White House in the future!!!

Obama Proves To Be CrimInals' Best Friend

News reports today reveal that President Obama has commuted the federal prison terms of an additional 111 convicts, bringing to 673 total commutations of prisoner sentences. This is consistent with the practices of previous "lame duck" Presidents, however the total number of his commutations is now MORE THAN that of the PREVIOUS TEN Presidents COMBINED, according to news reports. I'll bet those commutations came with the restoration of those prisoners' voting rights, just in time for them to vote for Hillary Clinton as their next President! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they were not instructed to vote for her, as part of the agreement to have their sentences reduced! That's typical skullduggery for the Democratic Party, as it has evolved today! And we were outraged at the clandestine behavior of Richard Nixon's so-called "plumbers"!!! Seems like the Democrats are determined to best Nixon's record for political "dirty pool". I wonder if the Washington Post will assign a couple of "hotshot" investigative reporters to their antics, as they did with "Wood-stein", in the 70's.

I keep mentioning that I don't particularly like Trump. But, I can live with his election to the Presidency, for the greater good of NOT having to live with another Democratic president, and especially not Hillary! I have never witnessed such blatant corruption in public office as we have seen with Hillary, and through the "Clinton Foundation", with Bill probably presiding, in the shadows. It appears as though they are over-grown "spoiled brats", who are so used to getting away with semi-legal manipulation of various laws (beginning with the so-called "Whitewater scandal", in Arkansas) that they can't help themselves to keep from trying more, and more outrageous acts of political corruption, in order to keep themselves in office, and available to enrich themselves with undetectable bribery. Unfortunately, for them, it seems that they have finally gone too far with their schemes, and their blindly, adoring public has finally had enough of excusing their obvious illegality! Perhaps not enough to throw them in jail, where they belong, but hopefully enough to keep them out of public office, and influence pedaling, as well. Hillary lamely protests that it is all the Republicans' making something out of nothing, but that is sounding more and more like a spoiled brat throwing a "tantrum", when he is caught with his hand in the proverbial "cookie jar"!

I have wondered how long it would take for the Democrats to overcome their worshipful adoration of the Clintons; let's just hope that it's in time to keep Hillary from winning the election! Remember, Trump is not so much the Republican candidate, as he is the "anti-Clinton" candidate! And God bless him, in that capacity!

Clintons Hit The "Foxholes", While The "Bombs" Of Criticism Fly

And they seem to be flying all around them!!! If I seem unabashedly gleeful, I apologize. I don't take pleasure in their problems, or anyone else's, but I do appreciate this apparent revelation that God is truly in control of this election, in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary that we have suffered through for many months. It's like I wrote previously, when I compared God's victorious blessings to the historical progress of past wars, in which we Americans started out with great fervor, and faith, only to suffer initial defeats, against what had to appear to be almost overwhelming odds. It's almost as if God wanted to see if our faith in His power was genuine, or temporal.

The Revolutionary War began with defeat in the midst of apparent victory, especially in the so-called Battle of Bunker Hill. The American Colonists "beat the snot out of" the British Troops, to an estimated ten thousand casualties, but lost when their ammunition began to run out, forcing their withdrawal. I think most people recognize that He turned our initial defeat into eventual victory, at Yorktown, Va., as he did with the Union forces in the Civil War, after two disasters at the creek of Bull Run, in Manassas Va. From those defeats, God returned the victory, at Appomattox, Va. which held our fragile union together, as it remains today, no matter how tenuous it may appear. By comparison, defeating the dangerously unrighteous candidacy of the meglo-maniacal Clinton would-be "monarchy" would seem to be easy, yet the over-all peril of this election seems without parallel. Like I've said before, I don't particularly like Trump, but if he is pliable enough for God to use in restoring this country to it's former righteousness (even while recognizing the there are many areas which we still must deal with), and will appoint wise advisors, and actually listen to them, he might make a great President, after all.

Again, I claim no special insight into God's future plans for this country, as I've said before, I am not a prophet, but I think I can recognize current-event patterns that seem to be consistent with the way God has moved for those who trust in Him, throughout history. I think "history" includes today, and remember that "history" is nothing more, nor less, than "His Story"!!! Praise God!!!

Dems Feeling The Heat???

A famous quote of Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign (I can't remember if it was directed at the Russians, or the Democratic Party [it doesn't make much difference; they're both deadly enemies of our Constitution]), went like this: "It's not necessary for them to see the light; only for them to feel the heat!" Well, he was "dead-on" right, then, and I wonder if he wouldn't say the same thing today? Fox News reported, this morning, that some Democratic Congressional candidates (mostly in tight races) are not defending Hillary Clinton's E-mail, and "Foundation" scandals. Is this evidence that even some Democrats are beginning to "wake up, and see the Light"? Perhaps among the constituents, I suppose so, but more than likely those "Tight-Race" candidates are realizing that she has been so dirty in her Public Service (one would reasonably guess that the word "Public", to her, extends only to herself, and her family) that supporting her could easily blow up in their faces, and lose the election for them. I'd say they are beginning to "feel the heat", wouldn't you?

Is this the first indication that Hillary could personally lose the election, in November, as I speculated, that she might squander her lead in the polls, and throw the victory for Trump, that he seems to be doing his best NOT to win, on his own? (See my post for August 22nd., listed on the "Archives" list, to the right of this column.) I wrote then that if it happened it would be because her record as Secretary Of State was so "dirty", with self-serving influence-peddling between the Clinton "Foundation" and the State Department, that if enough evidence was released before the election, even Democrats would realize that she was a dangerous Presidential candidate. Recently, some 15,000 "lost" E-mails were released by the State Department, who just happened to "find" them, with very little time left (before the election) to investigate them. They must contain potentially damning evidence that the Clintons were collecting "Pay For Play" contributions at their "Foundation", with access to the Secretary of State as the prize for the donations. Otherwise one would wonder at the reason they were "found" so close to the election, that they might be expected to have little effect on the election. Will Hillary be the first President to be elected, one day, and impeached the next???

Anyway, Hillary's own calendar, while Secretary of State showed that over 50% of those visitors to her office were previous donors to the Clinton "Foundation" (more appropriately called their "slush fund"). Since some of those donors were residents of Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf State nations (whose populations gave us the 911 terrorists, probably funded by the very rich people of those nations), one has to wonder if those same terrorist financiers are the same "donors" that bought influence with Hillary??? Is this the kind of person we would feel safe with running our country? I wonder how many Democratic voters are wondering the same thing? Perhaps they will be so disenchanted with Hillary that they might stay home, on election day! Pray God that they will! As I said before, that seems to be the only way Trump can win!

Alice's "Wonderland" Expresses An Appropriate View Of Today's Presidential Campaign

As she said, it's all getting, "Curiouser, and curiouser..."! And I do sense God's "Fingerprints" all over the developments of these days. I don't say that the American Presidential Election, this year, will necessarily have anything to do with a possible fulfillment of the Ezekiel Prophecies, recounted in the 38th & 39th chapters of the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, but I suspect a Trump Administration would certainly react differently to this Middle-East invasion, and God's glorious turn of it all for the defense of His people, Israel. One could reasonably expect Hillary to react differently, if she's not too busy with her impeachment trial!

But, quite frankly, I think it would take a miracle for Trump to win the presidency; but I think I heard somewhere that God is in the miracle "business"! What seems humanly impossible to us today, could easily be a "snap" for God, if it all serves to bring about His greater plan, especially as it concerns His chosen people, Israel, and their security. If Trump will bring about an Administration that will be humble enough to simply "get out of the way" of whatever God is about to do, He may allow him to be elected, rather than have to deal with Hillary's foolish meddling, which might necessitate the harming of otherwise innocent people, in order for Him to bring about His purposes, which WILL happen, one way or another! Either way, it will certainly be a blessing not to have to try and understand the buffoonery of an Obama Administration reaction to something that God is in charge of. One could certainly expect him to do the wrong thing, with as catastrophic results as conceivable, if he were still in power. Let's hope that he will watch the invasion unfold, from the "safety" of his presidential retirement home (probably in his native home of Kenya), where he can no longer do this nation any harm with his idiotic opinions! I wish him well, but, "please get the H*** out of town!!!", and the faster, the better! Sorry, Lord, but I have no respect for official fools in "High places", no matter how brilliant they may seem to be! To be so unable to judge any situation correctly, with his undeniable intelligence, has to categorize him as a "Colossal Fool", at least in my opinion! And I'm stuck with that opinion, whether anyone agrees with me or not!!!

Trump Can't Win; But Hillary Sure Can Lose!

Two things have become blatantly obvious about the 2016 Presidential Election...Donald Trump is absolutely incapable of winning the election. But Hillary Clinton is the most capable of candidates I've ever seen of losing the election, in spite of the fact that she is way ahead, so far, and is building a sound local election committee in most states, while Trump is not. So, how can she "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"? She may have already done so, between her irresponsible use of an unsecured E-mail server, while serving as Secretary of State, and her and Bill's setting up of a "Foundation" that was supposed to be a charitable corporation, but is looking more, and more like a personal "slush fund" to re-elect a Clinton President, just as Nixon's "Re-election Committee" was obviously for him. And we know how much that "slush fund" helped Nixon, after the Watergate scandal. The only question is, will the E-mail scandal ever get strong enough to offend the belligerent Democratic voters, who voted for the likes of a thoroughly incompetent Senator from Illinois, in 2008, and again in 2012, just because his skin was a little bit black ( even though his "heart" was, and remains as "black as coal")? Boy, that was a real smart move!!! And look where that's got us, now!

The "Foundation" scandal seems to be the most potentially volatile of her record of incompetent National Security concerns. That "Foundation" accepted "donations" from all the rich Gulf Oil Emirates, including Saudi Arabia, which gave us the conspirators for the September 11, 2001 Airplane attack on the Twin Towers, in New York City! Even though the Clintons have assured us that they will not accept any more donations, if she wins, and Bill will step down as the "Foundation's" C.E.O., that gives no assurance that, as President, Hillary's gratitude for those countries' financial help in winning the election would not influence her decisions for their benefit, or that Bill would not talk to his cronies who replace him to run the "Foundation for him, throughout his busy term as "First Gentlemen"! ("So many Interns, and so little time...!"). And, I doubt that his E-mails would be scrutinized by the F.B.I., secured, or not. And, who's going to stop him from talking to Hillary, after he talks to his cronies???

But, the Democrats don't need to be offended enough to vote for Trump; that seems a bit too much to expect! It will be enough if they are discouraged enough by Clinton's security liabilities (which are already obvious, but must be even more so to offend the idiot Democrats, enough so they'll stay home on election day, perhaps in "droves"). Trump is playing into that strategy already, by trying to woo the "Black Voters" away from voting Democratic, which seems all but impossible. But, in doing so, he is tempering the "Racist" image, as the Democrats have worked so hard to portray him. That could be enough to keep them from voting, as they have a history of staying home, on election day, especially when they don't like either of the white choices for President. Right now they will dislike Trump enough, no matter how much he tries to woo them. But, will the E-mail scandal, and the foreign "investment" scandal of Clinton's "Foundation" become obvious enough to offend their National Security concerns, in time for the election? Only God knows... but then there are times when He is the only one who has to know! I wonder if Trump is His choice, for whatever reason, and if so, He can bring about his victory, no matter how incompetent he appears to be. He alone knows the future, and it seems to delight God to bring about impossible victories, when the need is greatest!

Consider the way the American Revolution began; and the absolute incompetence of the Union Army at the start of the Civil War! The war of 1812 began with a British invasion of Washington , D.C., and their burning of the White House to the ground!!! If that doesn't convince the reader of God's ability to turn defeat into victory, I don't know what will! Perhaps He will help Hillary to "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"! Let's all hope so, and pray for a relief from Democratic incompetence in the White House!!!

If Trump displays enough of a pliable heart to the urging of God, it really matters little about his competence, or lack there of. If he will surround himself with enough advisors who are sensitive to God's urging, and will actually listen to them, we may have a President that can restore America's greatness, as Trump says he wants to do. Remember, George Washington's greatest attribute was his humility in recognizing when his advisor's strategic advise was better than his own plans. If Trump can learn that, too, he may go down as the next great President! May God grant him a wise and understanding heart!!!

UPDATE: 8/23/2016--
I wrote this Post yesterday, with no more than a suspicion that God is "up to something"...but I didn't know what. It seems to be shaking out to be similar to other aspects of His method of glorifying Himself, and confounding those who choose to resist Him. They are usually without excuse because, He tends to prophecy what He intends to do well before the fact, at least in general terms, and those who are sensitive to His prophecies can sort of "read between the (Biblical) lines" to fill in the blanks, for the details that are left unspoken, but seem to be consistent with what He has said. So, I claim no special wisdom, and certainly no "psychic power", or any other "mumbo jumbo" of the like! Yet I seem to have "coincidentally" guessed right about Hillary (and Bill) Clinton's culpability growing as more, and more, of her irresponsible State Department behavior comes to light. After Posting the above views of the possible developments in the Presidential election campaign, the story was made public, yesterday, that the State Department has ("miraculously") "uncovered" some 15,000 of Hillary's E-mails that were previously thought lost! I suspect that the Obama Administration quietly ordered them "lost", and not to be "found" until there was not enough time to investigate them, before the election, to see if they revealed any wrongdoing on Hillary's part, or on the part of her advisers. (But, a Federal Judge, in Texas, has ordered the State Department to complete an "expedited" investigation of the E-mails' contents, before September 22nd! We will see if the Obama Administration is willing to "expedite" anything that may harm the election of their chosen lackey, or will they continue to "foot drag" (why am I tempted to use the term "stone-wall" here???), even with the threat of "Contempt of Court" hanging over their heads! Wow! Maybe we could get Hillary, Bill, and Obama to throw a real "Democratic party", in San Quentin, or some other federal prison!!!

All this would seem to suggest that THEY felt the damage could possibly be severe enough to cause her to lose the election. Suspicion runs rampant that some of her advisors have been giving special access to her "Foundation's" donors (many of them are from Arab Gulf State countries, like Saudi Arabia. [UPDATE: 8/24/2016: Reports, today, suggest that, "Over fifty percent of Hillary's official visitors, while she served as Secretary of State were donors to the "Clinton Foundation", clearly suggesting that access to her office was available, "for the right price"! This information was gathered from her official calendar of visitors, while in office.] They may not be official government people (as Saudi Arabia's government is our ally), but simply rich donors from those countries. Remember, Saudi Arabia was also our ally when the whole conspiracy of the "911 Twin Towers/airplane crash" was exposed as originating, and presumably funded by rich Saudi Arabian financiers (and I haven't heard anything about them being brought to justice for their criminal conspiracy, in creating the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor, in 1941)!

I am not suggesting the Clintons are "in bed with" those financiers (God knows that Bill is probably too busy philandering with other women to be in bed with anyone else, including perhaps even Hillary), but, a mere close relationship with them, which seems to have been indisciminantly available for the right price, through their "Foundation", could be a serious breach of National Security! The fact that the Clintons seem to be unconcerned about this, should definitely disqualify either from future public office, and should shed light on Bill's term, as well. I don't particularly care if they wind up in prison, or not, just so they can't hurt America any more with their shady practices! May God have mercy on their souls, and on us for allowing them to get away with what I strongly suspect they've been up to!

Putin's Latest Chess Move

It is clear that Russian President Putin has no respect for America's Military presence in Iraq. Nor does he fear what Obama will do if he steps out of line, as he has done today.

His latest strategic moves in the Iraq/Syria war against I.S.I.S., and the American supported Syrian rebels (who are mostly Kurds) is to send missiles against the I.S.I.S. positions. I certainly don't mourn for the I.S.I.S. fighters, but since they are living in civilian areas, and using them as human shields in the event that they are bombed (so they can portray the bombers as heartless barbarians, who will bomb civilian populations), indiscriminant missile bombardment amounts to a significant escalation in their war effort. That Putin would do so now tells us two things: 1) He does not expect any serious objection to this escalation from the Obama Administration, and 2) he seems to be intent on escalating the war effort, now, before the election in America, in case Trump wins the election. Perhaps Putin wants to get the war with I.S.I.S. (and the other Syrian rebels) over with, quickly, so he can move on to more important things...like, perhaps the "Gog/Magog" Middle-East invasion, prophecied in Ezekiel, chapters 38, & 39!?? Perhaps he would prefer to get that "solidly" established before a possible Trump Administration could intervene.

Also, it is reported that the Assad regime simultaneously has bombed the American supported Kurd positions. This was probably the result of negotiations between Turkey's Erdogan, and Putin, when Erdogan travelled recently to Russia to meet with Putin. I don't believe that Assad would do anything without Putin's permission, and the Kurds have been terrorizing Turkey, at the same time as they fight the Syrians. So, isn't it coincidental that Assad should do so, shortly after Erdogan's visit? Perhaps this was intended to take the American attention away from Russia's Missile escalation.

But, the very fact that this escalation happened now, instead of after the election, shows that Putin thinks Obama will do nothing in retaliation for either escalation. And why should he expect any significant response from the Obama Administration, who are more concerned with restricting our own generals, than with worrying about things like Syrian use of "Cluster Bombs", and poison gas against their enemies, both of which are considered War Crime violations by the U.N.?

Remember, Russian strategy follows the pattern of a Chess game. One makes a move, and then waits to see what the opponent does to possibly counter his move before he decides on his next move. So far, Obama's most dangerous "weapon of choice" has been a strong diplomatic protest for any Russian escalation. If that's all he does now, you can expect further escalations in the future. I think Putin doesn't think a President Trump would allow these things, without unleashing his Generals, and Admirals to respond in some way that would make Putin think twice, before further escalations.

So, if I'm right, I think Putin wants to get the escalations established before the election, because he doesn't want to test Trump the way he feels he can get away with bad behavior now, with no retaliation from the Obama Administration. It seems that Putin doesn't think Hillary has much of a chance. And he may be right!
