So another of the death by a thousand cuts as newly released e-mails of Hildabeast shows her staff saying they planted questions which were asked by 60 Minutes of Julian Assange aka 'Mr. Wikileaks'.

A Clinton aide specifically addresses Hillary in the email saying that they were assured that questions they 'planted' with the 60 Minutes group were asked and that based on Assanges answers, they had already formulated responses and framed them they way they wanted the conversation to go.

They also provided CBS with a list of 'experts' which CBS could use to counter Mr. Assange and who would 'balance' the piece for the viewer.

So I guess planting the questions and providing people to dispute his answers to those same questions constitutes a balanced story.

CBS of course has denied it all.

So watching CNN and of course they are all over the "What kind of gun did he use?" I guess they are hoping for another AR-15 rampage. Cops say three handguns and one rifle. No makes or models as yet.

Shooter described as a 26 yr old local. Name given, but no picture as yet.

I've seen published reports of the shooter asking people their religion, and Christians were shot in the head. Those non-Christian or not answering the question were shot in the legs.

Obama gave his usual "Gee I'm disgusted with America." speech and apparently referred to himself at a rate of twice a minute. Yeah dude, it's all about you being frustrated. Forget the DEAD PEOPLE, you're the one who's cheesed.

So more gun control speeches, but zip about mental health initiatives to target potential mass shooters. Also, this is a campus with apparently ZERO armed security, and considers itself a 'gun free zone' and doesn't even allow super soakers on campus. So people are dead meat until somebody shows up to save them. I guess that concealed weapons permit you have means squat when you go to school.

I still am a great believer that duly trained, responsible adults are capable of defending themselves and others when given the chance. Gun free zones simply paint a target on your back because there is no opposition for anyone wanting to do harm.

Very few people have the skills to disarm a shooter, and few people have the capacity to 'McGyver' a field expedient weapon like a fire extinguisher for use against someone.

Locking yourself in a classroom only works if the shooter doesn't want to take 5 seconds to obliterate the lock and still enter the room.

If you want to own a weapon, get trained, practice diligently, and apply for a concealed carry permit to carry it with you as often as you feel comfortable. Don't brag to people that you carry. Carrying concealed means just that. A good jacket that stays closed, prevents advertising that you carry.

When it comes to people declaring places 'gun free', only you can decide if you will abide by their wishes, or make a value judgement that your life supersedes their politics.

Sorry, but I don't see the justification for lethal force on this video. It seems that after seeing too many of these, I'm wondering if police training courses are actually teaching deescalation?

No one is waiting for the situation to maybe cool down. Instead of taking positions that provide cover such as a block wall, or behind the front end of a car to use the engine for cover, it seems commands are barked out and shots follow pretty quickly thereafter. No one is trying to talk the guy off the ledge so to speak.

In a number of these videos, the elapsed time seems to be 5-10 seconds between yelling a command, and then someone drops the hammer. What cops fail to realize is that having several people pointing deadly weapons at you is not a regular occurrence for a lot of people and they can 'freeze up' and look non-compliant. Yelling at them more often and louder doesn't help.

In this case the victim pushes himself up in the chair several times, so we know both hands are gripping the arm rests, and he can't have a weapon in either one. I never see him reach out over the chair, and I only see his hands in plain view between and around his knees.

There are several police officers issuing a 'Drop the gun!" command, but I'm not seeing a weapon being presented so that it constitutes an imminent deadly threat to the police or to bystanders.

That being the case, no imminent threat, and no chance to deescalate leaves this poor man at the risk of someone else's bad judgement, and he dies because of it.

Sorry to see it happen, and condolences to family and friends of Mr. McDole.

So enthusiastic bicycle crasher John Kerry has signaled the U.S. response to Russian warplanes dropping bombs in Syria by saying he welcomes any positive attacks against ISIS that the Russians may want to be involved in.

The Russians however are attacking the Syrian Free Army who is in direct engagement with Syrian government forces, and not ISIS.

Still attempting to meet with the Russians and come to an agreement on how best to de-conflict Syrian airspace of several countries aircraft, the Russians are simply calling the Pentagon and telling them to keep U.S. planes out of Syria when the Russians want to launch attacks.

The Pentagon's answer is basically "We're good, and we'll attack whenever we feel like it."

Surprisingly Kerry says the U.S. led coalition is poised to 'dramatically accelerate' attacks against ISIS and increase support for the Kurds. So apparently it took over a year, and being shown up by Putin and not even a dozen Russian aircraft to get the 'vast coalition' Obama has created to 'accelerate' things.

You know if people weren't dying every day because of the ineptitude of the 'coalition' it might be amusing. Kerry, with his $5000 suits, nicely polished shoes, and mouthfuls of diplo-speak platitudes should be ashamed of himself for the way he has conducted himself in the anti-ISIS campaign. To say how the U.S. intends to work with its allies in the region, and then hangs the Kurds out to dry every day.

Obama is not better. He preaches Syrian regime change every effin' day, but never drops bombs on Syrian troops to give the real rebels a chance. How he hands over weapons to the enemy via his Pentagon trained freedom fighters (all 6). How he merely drips training, weapons, and special forces into the region to keep ISIS from getting too far or too much, yet there have been ZERO major offensive campaigns to counterattack ISIS in depth.

Sure, you've had the occasional force concentrations to try and retake an oil refinery or part of a city. Where are the strikes with 50-60-100 planes, and dozens of cruise missiles to kill hundreds if not thousands of ISIS members? We seem to think if we pick off a few leaders, the front line troops of ISIS will somehow become scared, drop their guns and go home. Ridiculous.

The Obama regime will be the first one on record to have entered several existing or new conflicts without having the expressed intention of actually winning them.

New video has been released showing even more felonies being committed by Clinton supporters in Nevada.

Previously Project Veritas has released undercover video of Clinton staff registering voters and knowingly committing felonies under Nevada law in doing so. A Clinton campaign lawyer is seen on video telling staff to do whatever they can until they get caught, and then just say "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know." and then go elsewhere.

This time around the video shows a Clinton worker in Spanish telling Hispanics being registered that Hillary is a very good candidate and that they are working for her. He also describes Donald Trump as 'a clown' to them. The worker also shows an internet meme of Trump scowling and the caption "This is my resting b*tch face" to the potential voters.

Nevada law clearly states you cannot advise anyone how to vote while you are registering them. Doing so is a felony punishable by 1-4 years in jail.

WHY OH WHY HAS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT NOT ARRESTED ANYONE? WHY HAVE NEVADA STATE AUTHORITIES NOT ACTED ON THIS EVIDENCE? HOW MANY OTHER PLACES ARE CLINTON SUPPORTERS COMMITTING VIOLATIONS OF ELECTION LAWS???

Well no big surprise CBS edits the interview to make Putin look like the bad guy. Obama is CBS's boy, he has to be protected.

Putin quite correctly says that Syria and a small militia are the only ones fighting ISIS because Obama is merely dabbling around the edges.

Kurds? They need weapons, in appreciable numbers, and of good quality. We don't arm them sufficiently AND now they are being given MRAP vehicles with no armor to protect the occupants against RPG's.

Bombings? The air force drops 8 bombs a day while the Syrian airforce conducts 10 times the sorties.

Drone strikes? Yeah, the occasional strike on higher value targets, but these guys have already voted on the next 4-5 layers of command structure should they be taken out.

Our vaunted 'rebel' force trained to take on the Assad regime? They cost half a billion dollars, generated a force of 5 guys, and all the weapons they were given, went to the enemy!

Sooooo, compared to THAT stunning record, I am surprised 60 Minutes could use anything that didn't make Putin look like Patton!

Several fact checking outlets agree it was the Clinton campaign that in 2008 started the 'birther' and 'Obama is a Muslim' trains of thought during the Democratic nomination race.

Strategy emails from the campaign say that Clinton should question the depth of Obama's roots in America and American values, and that her speeches should always contain a reference to how she was born in middle America, to middle class parents, and the middle of the century. Her events should also be festooned with American flags, and that she should wear a flag pin as Obama did not.

The whole 'Obama is a Muslim' came from a photo of Obama in a turban. The photo was leaked by the Clinton campaign but did not garner them any support, but there was an actual backlash.

Clinton did a 60 minutes interview with Steve Kroft where she gives the famous answer about Obama being a muslim, and qualifies it with the 'not that I know of' comment. This of course leaving the viewer to think there is proof out there to be found.

So yeah, before you buy into the media smears about Trump being a 'birther', realize it started with Hillary.

In relation to that I seem to remember sheriff Joe Arpaio (sp?) had a team of retired detectives investigate the Obama birth certificate issue. I recall they claimed the one put online at the White House website was a forgery, and proceeded to provide proof of how the digital image had been manipulated. They even held a press conference to report the info and no main stream media showed up. Just the web based sites and bloggers attended. Compare that of course to all the media outlets who reported the 'Bush went AWOL' story using forged documents.

Yes, flick your Bic at the gas pump. To TRY and kill a spider, WHILE it's on your gas tank.

Man, that is a special kind of stupid that used to require you to wear a hockey helmet when you left the house.

This is guy we have the following product warning labels for...

DO NOT put any person in this washer. (But what if they are dirty?)

NOT TO BE INSERTED INTO PENIS... Found on a 6 piece precision screwdriver set.(Yeeeoooowch!!!!)

DO NOT EAT your iPod shuffle....Found on Apple's website. (Why? Does it have gluten?)

"Be careful of bad language on this mobile phone, because a partner's feelings are going to be bad." Sony Ericsson cell phone. (Yes, your English are going to be bad also.)

WARNING: This product moves when used. A Razor push scooter.(Um, duh)

Before using, read all directions, cautions, and warnings carefully. If you CANNOT READ or DO NOT UNDERSTAND all the directions, cautions, and warnings, DO NOT use this product. (Assuming I actually read enough to realize I can't read....)

On the pill bottle for your dogs' prescription...."May cause drowsiness. Alcohol may intensify this effect. Use care when operating a car OR heavy machinery." (Yeah, cause life just isn't fun until you let your drunkly high dog behind the wheel of your new Porsche!)

DO NOT hold the wrong end of the chainsaw. (Well that just goes without saying people.)

Do not use this directory while operating a moving vehicle...Found in a copy of the Bell South yellow pages. (Well if Siri would just shut up and find me the nearest Brazilian beaver cheese shop, I wouldn't need the yellow pages!!!)

I carry a state by state AND a Canadian provincial government approved compliment guidelines card (laminated of course)just in case I see an attractive woman that I might want to approach.

In cases where alcohol is available, I have a representative from my lawyers office accompany me, just in case I need a sober interpreter who can 'correct' any potentially offensive messaging I may wish to convey.

It's expensive at $150 an hour, but it beats the old fashioned method of asking any potential 'victim' of a compliment to please furnish (in writing) a list of words or phrases she may find offensive. That was always somewhat time consuming, was usually a woefully incomplete list, and invariably still led to some kind of offense being committed......

Well that's where we're headed folks. I understand being offended and embarrassed if some guy is being a pig. I was brought up better than that, and I'm sure most men were as well. Women have always had the option of giving you the finger, telling you to f-off, chucking a drink in your face, or making a small penis joke in front of your buddies or other women. Perfect solutions? No. Entertaining solutions? Hell, yeah. lol

Unfortunately we are at the point where "Oh, you look nice." is now an offense punishable with a year in jail, along with Twitter rants directed at you such as "Oh WHY does she look nice,huh you pig?", or "Oh, does she usually NOT look nice? You saying she's ugly you misogynist SOB?" Maybe I'm engaging in 'nice shaming' by drawing attention to the fact that someone is simply attractive to look at? I have committed the sin of objectification!!

OMG!!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!! I SAID SOMETHING NICE!!! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!

So apparently Hildabeast can't fight her own battles and now Slick Willy is on the case.

In an interview to air on CNN Sunday morning Bill Clinton blames the GOP and the press for the never ending e-mail story. He basically says his wife said sorry, and we should all just move on now. Of course he ignores the constant drip, drip, drip of new emails someone just 'happens' to find, how the server also did Clinton Foundation work, how Huma Abedin used the server for work she did on the side for her second employer Teneo, and how Hillary lied about signing the paperwork for Huma to get the Teneo gig, and on and on and on. Nahhhhh, nothing to see here folks.....

Anything other than doing what Bill says we should do becomes either partisan attacks, or the media bashing his wife JUST so THEY can make the nomination process more competitive.

So it's no longer JUST the 'vast right wing conspiracy', but now the media too that is fiddling with the Democratic nomination process, because it's apparently bad for ratings if Hildabeast runs unopposed. So the media manipulates coverage against Hillary to create a more closely contested campaign. Apparently this makes for more interesting coverage.

Clinton also suggests that the GOP directs media attacks by recounting a story of his own presidential run. He claims a Bush white house staffer called him, and said that he should stay out of the presidential race, and not go after the Democratic party nomination. He claims the caller told him that every election the press needs a candidate to tear down, and if Clinton ran, the GOP would 'feed' him to the press.

I guess Clinton fails to understand that since he actually won in 1992, that kinda defeats his point. But that would just be another example of a Clinton ignoring the truth.

All manner of unsavory behavior is taking place in these holding facilities because of poor security procedures. I assume the model they have chosen is like a prison. You don't want armed guards being overwhelmed, having weapons stolen and people shooting their way out, so you might send a couple large unarmed cops every couple hours through the camp in groups of two or four. You nod a lot, maybe shake a few hands, and collect letters of complaint for the government.

There's no proactive policing, no random searches for drugs, guns, etc. As noted in the story, seems the cops are corrupt and actually trafficking themselves. So, I don't think there will be any cleanup being done anytime soon. In fact, I would predict in a year, maybe less there will be a tell all book about the 'journey' someone had from Syria to Germany, and it will lay out the depth of the corruption, but nothing will be done about it. The author, if he or she is lucky will make a couple hundred grand, and have a little nest egg to build on.

Cops are content to parade around the outside of these facilities, allegedly keeping the 'refugees' from being victimized by nationalists, skinheads, bigots, racists, whomever.

Obviously the threats to women and children on the inside of these facilities are being overlooked. It's simply bad PR for governments. The Germans are now admitting that about 30% of the Syrian passports being presented are criminally produced fakes. Paying anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars for one of these fake documents, people know that 'Syrians' are being fast tracked for immigration approval, so everyone pretends to be Syrian.

Many whistle blowing groups are posting online videos of street level violence, protests, and attacks perpetrated by these so called 'refugees' which are not being reported in mainstream media.

I don't think it will be much longer before you see ultra nationalists arrive in numbers at some poorly defended refugee center and have a go at seeing how much damage they can do before the cops or military can rein them back in.

Lena Dunham? Pfffttt. Self admitted pedophile and fictional rape story author.

She writes in her book how she used every trick in the book to literally get into her younger sisters pants. Toys, candy, you name it. The very tools any child molester would use, and she freely admits doing all of it.

She also recounts a drunken college date that ended in sloppy, awkward sex, and says the guy basically raped her. She goes into minute detail in describing the man named 'Barry', making inferences that somehow being a 'Republican' contributed to his behavior. When the story was fact checked, no such event could be verified, and the only 'detail' of the story found to be valid was her description of the campus itself.

The man that many believe was the unnamed 'rapist' successfully sued, and new printings of the book carry a disclaimer that the name of the person in the book 'Barry' is not the real name of the alleged attacker.

Dunham herself apparently has never publicly come out and cleared his name. One of Obama's daughters is currently an intern on her TV show. So, objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even a modicum of the truth being told would NOT be what I would expect.

If anything, I would expect it to be a long winded campaign commercial with enough cheesy jokes to qualify it as satire and thus skirting election finance laws.

So now we have newly released documents showing that Hildabeast lied about the Huma Abedin double dipping issue.

For those who don't know Hillary's right hand woman Huma Abedin got special dispensation to work at both the State Department and for a company named Teneo at the same time. Teneo was founded by former Clinton operative Doug Band. A large consulting firm that handles all facets of organization operations from financing, to governance, to legal, and crisis management, several of its clients are also Clinton Foundation donors.

When NBC's Andrea Mitchell asked whether or not it was a conflict for Huma to work for State and collect a check, while working for a company that worked for governments State negotiated with, Clinton answered that she was not directly involved in the situation, but Huma's status was fully within the rules at State.

Well seems that is another Clinton whopper as there is now a document showing Hillary personally signed the form that created the 'Special Government Employee' position Huma benefitted from! How more directly can you get than signing the paperwork?

The issue is could a government hire Teneo as a bribe for access to Clinton? Further complicating the issue is Huma did work for Teneo using the 'private' Clinton server, and may also have worked for the Clinton Foundation during this same time for a third salary!

No wonder Anthony (wanna see my) Weiner stands by his woman. She makes all the bucks in the family.

Can't say I'm disappointed. I always found him to look a little overwhelmed by the job, and at times just looking like a deer caught in headlights.

Many thought of him as a RINO (Republican In Name Only), and don't think he did enough to get the GOP position across to the public, or forced enough bills up to the White House for veto, and illustrate how Obama was thwarting the will of the people through their elected representatives.

There have been too many people calling for his ouster for too long, and it finally caught up with him. Will be interesting now to see who gets gig and how truly conservative he or she will be.

Well as much as I would love to see Bubba and Hildabeast doing the perp walk, sounds like some overzealous police work to me.

1)Seng is arrested for lying about the use for the currency he had. Cops say Seng said it was for art or gambling, but he never was seen 'looking' at art. Um, the FBI apparently doesn't think you can look at artwork for sale on the internet? Do you actually have to see art to buy it? People bid over the phone or internet everyday for art at auctions.

2) How can you charge the interpreter? I would suggest he's simply repeating what Seng said. How would he know what his boss actually intended to do with the cash?

3) Seng is seen attending a business meeting with the briefcase that had previously contained the cash. Ok, did the FBI check the case before and after the meeting to prove the cash was passed off? How do we know it's not in a hotel safe, or some other location?

If I'm the guys lawyer, I'm all over this like a fat kid on a twinkie. I'm screaming racism, anti-Chinese bias, blah blah yadda yadda to get my client bail.

C'mon, it's Saudi Arabia. A place where the strip joints feature a women removing a niqab and advertise it as 'full facial nudity!'.

A country where you can't actually tell a 'women are bad drivers' joke! They just look at you and say "I don't get it..."

A country where THIS joke actually is funny... "Why did the woman cross the road?" Answer "Who the hell cares! What is she doing outside by herself???!!!"

The ruling family, stands accused of regularly invoking 'diplomatic immunity' when it beats the crap out of call girls in the states. Apparently they love South Beach in Florida. When they blow into town you can't find a working girl over $500 an hour available in the greater Miami area. The Saudis buy them all up for a week, have their way,and then apparently enjoy bouncing them off the floors and walls of their hotel suites before heading to the airport.

The cops show up, and they all whip out diplo passports and tell the cops to take a hike.

So between the beheadings, rapes, wife beatings, and the fun and games they have away from home, they are hardly bastions of civilized behaviour. It is however ALL they know. No one has actually ever stopped them from doing as they please.

So, these clowns as champions of human rights? Puhleese.

Well it should be easy enough to prove with any existing records of her radio traffic. If she was sending daily body counts of the dead back to Berlin, kind of tough to claim you had no clue of what was happening.

Women were indeed part of the Waffen SS, but only allowed to be called 'auxiliary members', and could only serve as prison camp guards or in administrative positions. Pictures of women in SS uniforms at the time are a little confusing because it became trendy for the girlfriends/wives of Waffen SS troops to take photos of themselves wearing the uniforms of their men. A woman in a photo wearing an ill fitting uniform is likely one of these 'cheesecake' pics, while a well tailored and turned out photo is likely to be more legit.

If her duties were sending radio messages for food, ammo, gas, and other routine supplies, then it gets a little more difficult to prove any culpability.

If she worked in a bunker for example, and had no direct line of sight or could not hear killings taking place, then she's a clerk. If you have evidence however that she say dated a guard, or was even a female guard herself who knew what was happening, again a no brainer to convict her.

Of course the argument at her advanced age is she can't survive even a token prison sentence, so she'll likely die before going to trial. My thought on these old war criminals is either the firing squad or the gas chamber. Karma's a bi-yotch, so give em a little taste of what they handed out to millions. Seems fair.

I belong to PETA, which for me is People Eating Tasty Animals. If it has a face, it has at some point in time hit my BBQ.

In this case, the primate did not have explicit permission to use the camera, and so has no 'rights' to gain from a picture it had no permission to take. Man, some lawyers are stupid.

Using PETA's idiotic logic for a moment though, ok let's give the monkey picture rights. It makes say $500. Where does the cash go? PETA says for care of the animal and habitat improvement. Ok. HOW do they KNOW what the wishes of the monkey are vis a vis his habitat?

Maybe he wants a hot tub, and a dozen bikini clad females. Can PETA get THAT for $500? If they can't, are they not now teasing and damaging the animal's psyche by not providing it enough cash for it to realize its dreams??? What if the monkey wants the money to go for a bag of weed or a bottle of Jack Daniel's?? Will PETA prevent the monkey from exercising free will, or will they encourage alcohol and drug use amongst the lower primates as personal primate choice?

Sorry, it's nothing more than the camera version of the old adage about enough monkeys sitting at typewriters would eventually wind up randomly typing out the Bible. All the monkey did was press the right button on something it picked up.

Lived in T.O. for almost 50 years before moving to Ottawa. Lived the 92-93 glory years at the SkyDome, *cough* Rogers Centre. Even have a couple outfield seats from when they demo'd the old CNE stadium.

There's 1,000,000 people who will claim they went to the first game ever for the franchise, but I went to their third game! (lol) Sat on the old football bench seats on the 'newer' south side of the stadium (1st base side)and literally froze my a$$ off.

Got to meet several Jays over the years like Bell, Fernandez, Gruber, Devon White, and have several pieces of memorabilia. Some auto'd 8x10's, bats, balls, etc. Fave piece is a cracked Ernie Whitt bat from spring training. Barrel was taped, and the crack was filled with real Dunedin grass. (lol)

Drank many a beer at the CNE, booed the Yankees, and watched Dave Winfield kill a seagull, and almost get arrested for it! (lol) Watched fan relations go into the dumper when the team went to Skydome, as we basically had to sit on our hands and clap politely, lest the 'aisle Nazi' come along and 'shush' you or threaten to eject you. Heaven forbid you vocally criticize Cito Gaston for not yanking a pitcher soon enough. We were no longer in the world of the $5 general admission seats from Dominion!(lol)

Finally had enough of bad fan relations when during BP, (an hour before the game) I wanted to go from the Blue Jays dugout to the vistors dugout (I think the White Sox) for autographs. The usher, aka 'aisle Nazi' blocked the row behind home plate and said I could not travel that way, as it would disturb other fans. I asked her to please turn around and show me the 'fans' in question, since there were exactly ZERO people sitting in the ENTIRE section behind the plate!!! Insistent, and suggesting I didn't want to cause a problem (or else,) I had to climb the steps from the dugout all the way to the top of the 100 level, and then all the way back down again to the other dugout. No small task if you know the stadium. There is a wide barrier that prevents you from just going up a couple rows and then crossing back over.

I was actually P.O.ed enough to call the team after the game, and they said the usher was right, and just doing her job. No one saw the stupidity of aggressively 'guarding' an empty section of 100 seats as a problem except me. I mean I even had a 100 level ticket for about 12 rows behind the Jays dugout. It's not like I was sneaking down from the 500 level to sit behind the plate. (lol)

Glad to see the team has put together good pitching, hitting, and defence in the proper measures. Past Jays teams always had one or two of the three for a season, but the missing piece was the reason we finished 15 games out of first place every year.

Magic number last last night was 10, so Ok, Blue Jays, let's play ball!

Can't answer for U.S. Catholic institutions, but in Canada there had been an employment contract for Catholic teachers which basically said you will live by the churches doctrines, and are a practicing Catholic to be employed by the church.

I'm assuming she had the same type of contract, and likely tried to hide the marriage from church officials. Either that or she may have been an agitator who dares the institution to do something about it. You know, the 'go ahead and fire me, I'll sue your butt off!' employee.

So if she had an employment contract, and the church forbids same sex marriage, you don't get to be part of the club anymore. It has nothing to do with same sex marriage itself, it has to do with breaking church rules. Same as if a teacher was having children out of wedlock, or engaging in affairs with other married staff, or engaging in pre-marital sex. While society as a whole is more accepting of these lifestyle choices, the church is not, and it disciplines staff that break the rules. Period.
