[Political Insider] Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt politician in the history of America. It took the powerful political skills of a true outsider like Donald Trump to defeat her, along with the political establishment and biased mainstream media.
But now, the question remains: What happens to the Clinton Foundation? It first received its nonprofit status when started during the fundraising efforts for President Bill Clinton’s presidential library in Little Rock, Arkansas. But the group quickly became the place for foreign dictators and despots to buy access to Hillary Clinton while serving as President Obama’s Secretary of State. The activities at the foundation are exactly why Clinton ran a private home email server- She didn’t want public record of the business deals she was making, which made her family wealthy.
It was a money laundering operation which allowed unlimited foreign money into the American political process, and sold our government to the highest foreign bidder.
Now, under a Trump administration, experts agree that the Foundation’s days are numbered:

I recall somebody saying that the Foundation has another problem. All those quids....where are the quos coming from.
I believe one of the big money treasurers of the Russian mafia put a lot of the loot with Bernie Madoff.

I doubt the Clinton coupon will be honored after the 20 January 2017 expiration date.

As I understand it, this case is being pursued under a grand jury originally appointed by NYPD, which is well-experienced with prosecuting RICO cases. Whatever other sins the Clinton Foundation may have committed, it is probably safe to say that their activities met the RICO standard. The only question is: can "the legal system" withstand the massive pressure from the entrenched Clinton Cartel, and actually obtain arrest warrants, leading to convictions.
My gut feel is: that is a "bridge too far" - but we can only hope for such intestinal fortitude.

Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who is vice chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, said the Clinton Foundation should reform itself or go out of business. “The foundation should be given an opportunity to either to come into compliance with the law or shut their doors,” she said
"where's the boodle return in that?"

Have they wiped out the Mafia or any other criminal organization that just doesn't change spots in one manner or another?
Well, Pence HAS replaced Christie on the transition team.
My friend Professor Charles Lipson has suggested this title -- CTRL-L as an alternate to Alt-R not only because it’s a witty rejoinder to the tag, but as well because it accurately describes the left, a faction always seeking control over us. And they lost handily on Tuesday.
This week the left -- its propagandizing press, pollsters, and university leftist monoculture -- suffered a long deserved and punishing blow, but what it could not win at the ballot box it is attempting to regain in the streets. They seem to want elections to be resolved by the number of people they can turn out to riot and disrupt.
A brief recap of the most astonishing electoral turnabout in recent memory.
1.) The Media and the Pollsters lost their clout by incompetence and deceit
Pre-election night polls and media coverage reflected that leftist monoculture.
The pollsters should now begin shuttering their shops and looking for real work. After months of predicting a certain substantial Hillary win, they predicted the following results:
NBC/SM: Clinton +6
Ipsos: Clinton +4
NBC/WSJ: Clinton +4
ABC/WaPo: Clinton +4
Herald: Clinton +4
Bloomberg: Clinton +3
Only IBD and Dornslife predicted a Trump win.

The real question is whether they were real idiots or playing the game of voter suppression? No need to vote, it's already won. I know, embrace the power of 'and'. When the Left hurls an accusation, the first thought should always be - they're doing it and its all projection.

Losing the battle does not lose the war (unless the one side is completely and utterly annihilated).

Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder (TARD) is a pattern of pathologically dissociative and psychotic behavior, first observed in the late hours of November 8th 2016, and increasing in severity with passing time.
Sufferers of TARD often exhibit pronounced cognitive dissonance, sudden bouts of rage, uncontrollable crying, suicidal ideation, and extreme sadness.
People with TARD are characterized by a persistent unwillingness to accept that Donald Trump is going to Make America Great Again.
Individual sufferers often display signs of paranoia and delusion; in acute cases psychotic episodes have been observed.
TARD is different from being upset about the results of the 2016 presidential election; People with TARD are unwilling or unable to accept reality, despite irrefutable evidence.
According to the DSM-V, individuals with TARD exhibit most or all of the following symptoms:
- Telling others they are moving to Canada
- Fixated on fantasies about the Electoral College
- Protesting an election no credible source contests the outcome of
- Exclamations that “Someone” should do “Something”
- Acute change in demeanor from pompous and arrogant to fearful and combative
- Claim that anyone who disagrees with them is some combination of Racist, Sexist, Bigoted, Homophobic, and actually some sort of Hitler persona
Causes and Mechanisms:
TARD was directly caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America.
For many, both in America and worldwide, this was a shocking and unexpected outcome; their preferred news sources having failed to inform them that the alternative candidate was a criminal parasite in such ill health she got chucked into the back of a van like a kidnap victim.
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis of TARD is straightforward.
Ask the patient if Donald Trump is going to be the Next President of the United States of America.
Some patients will become agitated, and may attempt to deflect.
It’s critical you press them on the issue, even if they start babbling about ‘muh triggers’.
A sufferer of TARD will begin to ramble incoherently, often displaying three or more of the symptoms within a short period of time.
Treatment:
The only known effective treatment is exposure therapy.
The patient must be repeatedly exposed to reality, and should wear a Make America Great Again hat as long as they are able to tolerate it.
Each exposure should increase in length, after a week the patient should be encouraged to be seen in public wearing the MAGA hat.
Coach the patient to refer to Donald Trump as President-Elect Trump.
Patients with TARD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups.
Any possibility of treatment requires that they be separated from their hive-mind support apparatus; they cannot begin the process of accepting reality in the presence of encouragement towards delusion and irrationality.
Separation may require the assistance of law enforcement.
If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TARD, urge them to seek treatment.
Together we can beat this scourge, and Make America Great Again!
[Wash Times] The 2016 elections are a gift that keeps on giving, and nothing has been sweeter than watching the chattering class being taken back to school. Rarely has smug arrogance been so sharply rebuked. It’s delicious to watch. Yum, yum.
The pundits and talking heads particularly relish the finding in the exit polls that most of Donald Trump’s votes appeared to be coming from white working-class stiffs "without a college education." What should you expect from someone who had never seen the inside of the Student Union?
A college education is a fine thing, and a few years with access to a library and a conscientious professor is a reward that pays dividends for a lifetime. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste," as a familiar television commercial once reminded us. Or as an earlier vice president, Dan Quayle, put it, "it’s a terrible thing to lose your mind."
But a college education is no substitute for a native appetite for knowledge, wherever found and however acquired. Harry S Truman was one of our most lettered presidents; no other president and few historians had his knowledge and understanding of the office and of the presidents before him.
Yet he never attended college, and had to go to work behind a brace of mules on the family farm and could not finish high school.
He turned out to be one of the nation’s most effective presidents, presiding at a particularly troubled time, first in war and then in tense peace. Abraham Lincoln read the Bible and borrowed books to read by the flickering light of the fireside. "Educated" or not, he turned out pretty well.
A college education is not a requisite for casting an intelligent ballot, either. William F. Buckley, a Yale man and an educated consumer of the book of knowledge, said he "would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the Boston telephone book than by the entire faculty of Harvard." Nevertheless, the book-proud sometimes never get over a sheepskin.
David Brooks, a columnist for The New York Times, despaired on election eve of the grim consequences of enabling the white, the less educated and those deprived of a college education to cancel the votes of the credentialed. Hillary calls them the deplorables.
Things must have changed. A few college hours were the only general requirement back in the old days which could be picked up at most installations after hours. However, back then, unlike today you didn't need a college education to be a senior NCO. It became a discriminator when I was retiring. Just doesn't make sense to have a senior NCO with a college degree and 18 years of experience under a new shave tail 2LT with a college degree and zip experience. The institution doesn't want to address that fundamental contradiction.

It's part of the job of the Navy Chief to 'edumacate', sometimes bluntly, the young Ensign. That's the difference between them and the NCO. And I, for one, appreciated it.

The exit polls were wrong -- most of those who voted for Mr. Trump declined to be interviewed for the same reasons thwt they declined to be polled. An Nahar has some statistics:
Here is a look at who voted for whom in the biggest political upset in American politics for generations:
- Middle Class and Educated -
Half of Americans who are considered middle class, making $100,000 a year or more, voted for the 70-year-old billionaire according to USA Today's exit polls.
Forty-three percent of people with college degrees backed the Republican, although post-graduates voted overwhelmingly for Clinton, the Democrat, at 58 percent to 35 percent.
"We wanted to send a message that there's too much government ruling our life and that had to stop," said Rolando Chumaceiro, a family doctor who lives in affluent White Plains, New York.
Lower income voters leaned towards Clinton but their support had eroded since President Barack Obama's election in 2012, perhaps fueled in part by resentment of the high costs associated with Obamacare.

[Daily Caller] Longtime Clinton insider Sidney Blumenthal claims that a group of "right-wing agents" in the FBI staged a coup d’etat to prevent Hillary Clinton from behind elected president.
Blumenthal, a former journalist who has been nicknamed "Grassy Knoll" by some in Clintonworld because of his tendency to latch on to conspiracy theories, made the charge in an interview on Dutch television after Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump.
"It was the result of a cabal of right-wing agents of the FBI in the New York office attached to Rudy Giuliani, who was a member of Trump’s campaign," said Blumenthal, who emailed frequently with Clinton while she was secretary of state.
"I think it’s not unfair to call it a coup," added Blumenthal, who served in the Bill Clinton White House aide and was said to be an informal adviser to Hillary Clinton.
#7
So it is the "Right Wing" FBI agent's fault that they actually wanted the law followed when their corrupt leaders bowed to HRC and didn't file charges and that made it a coup D'Etat?
Somehow I'm ok with this.
Now if we can just round up Sidney and the FBI leaders tied to all the corruption and charge their asses....

I wonder if anyone is yet formally investigating him for the stuff in his hacked emails and what the result of that will be, given the new president will not be his dearest friend. I'm pretty sure the Netherlands would respond to an extradition request from the U.S...
The more I read Z-man, it seems the better I like him
When I was a young man starting out in the world, I was once given an assignment for the marketing people. The job was to gather up and detail the costs of various marketing programs. For some reason they did not track these things in the accounting system. That meant I had to rummage through filing cabinets pulling out invoices and then tabulating the results in a spreadsheet. My guess is I was given the task mostly because I was the only guy who could use Lotus 1-2-3.
I gathered up all the data for the periods in question and put together a report. Out of curiosity, and to be a suck up, I created s chart that showed the impact of various marketing efforts on sales. I even factored in things like the number of peak sales days in a month and adjusted the results to reflect these variances. What jumped out to me was that marketing did nothing for sales. I then expanded the data range to include previous years and it was more obvious. Our marketing was a waste of money.
I was young, but I was not an idiot so I gave the VP of marketing the numbers without my analysis. He then used them in his presentation, in which he claimed to be the key to the company’s success. I sat watching it waiting for someone to point out that he was full of baloney, but no one did. What I realized was everyone believed in these types of marketing schemes. They had to work because everyone did them. The VP of marketing liked his job so he told everyone what they wanted to hear.
The point of this walk down memory lane is that people have been using data to lie to one another long before we had cheap database software and Chinese quants cranking out reports. My bet is the first modern humans to migrate out of Africa had a meeting where Grog held up a skin, with marks on it, that he claimed was proof that slow food and fast women were just over the horizon. Data analysis is often just another form of magic that we use to grease the wheels of life.
This always comes to mind when I hear political types talk about their data operations. Reince Priebus is running around saying it was the GOP data operations that got the Trump vote out on Tuesday. He was on the radio claiming that his team “knew what people ate for lunch, when they went to work and how they voted in the past” so they could target these voters and get them to the polls. He made it sound like they had studied all of us since birth so they could maximize their vote.
This is nonsense. Trump had none of this stuff in the primary and he poleaxed everyone in his way. His “ground game” was to go on TV and radio and be interesting. Then he went on Twitter to give reporters something to ask him. In the general, he preferred the old fashioned whistle stop tour. Instead of a train, he flew around on his plane and did stadium shows near airports. His campaign was lean and mean, avoiding the trap of hiring an army of experts. Trump was outspent something close to 5-to-1 when including outside groups. Conclusion at the link I did listen to Trump's speeches. Unlike the usual case with politicians, I enjoyed doing it. He could call people names and express things in a politically incorrect manner. The most important thing he did, each and every speech, was tell his audience that they were "amazing." Contrast that with confining half the country to a "Basket of Deplorables." His attacks were always against his opponents, not against their supporters. Yup. The Donald did another thing that was very very smart in his speeches: he'd tell you that what he was going to do was going to benefit you personally. "You're going to love this." "This is going to make America great." "You're going to do better." And so on. He was able to connect you in the audience to these otherwise abstract things about jobs, defense, environment, immigration, and so on. That personal connection is surprisingly hard to do in a stemwinder and he was brilliant at it.

Z-man: Kelly Ayotte is staggering around Manchester New Hampshire with her panties on her head, asking people if they know where she lives. She went all in on rejecting Trump and now she is out of a job. The politicians that listened to their party leaders and distanced themselves from Trump were all punished at the polls.
Ayotte won more votes than Trump, as did most GOP members of Congress. Fort Bend, TX, flipped from GOP in 2012 to Democrat in 2016. Trump won in 2016 with the right message for the Rust Belt states. Uncle Sam as a super-sized Switzerland via perhaps the abrogation of existing defense treaties and an end to new free trade pacts. Equally, Hillary lost the Rust Belt states despite trying to appeal to the black vote by showing up with the parents of dead thugs and backing BLM. She showed, mainly, that only Obama has the charisma / pigmentation to get an out-sized black voter turnout.
#6
The bankruptcy of Peabody Energy, the biggest coal company in the US, may have been the last straw for some coal states. Trump won by over 40 points in WV, a state Carter won in 1980, and Reagan won by a few points in 84. Romney had a 27 point margin. There's also the emergence of white identity politics in certain regions in response to the perceived rise of the same among other ethnic/racial groups, fanned on by Democratic strategists looking to lock up vote blocs in opposition to the GOP. The Democratic party is identified as the black (or at least anti-white) party in much of the South, which is why they tend to be GOP-dominated in spite of some of the largest (in % terms) black minorities in the nation. Trump's Rust Belt victories might simply be the beginnings of a similar movement towards white bloc voting for the GOP in that region. If that occurs, the Democrats might be in trouble. And that's not even counting the odds of potential contagion in the direction of lily-white New England and the rest of the mid-Atlantic states.

A GOP candidate who promises to dismantle racial quotas might finally get the 70% of the white vote needed for routine electoral vote landslides.
Congress would have to end funding for, and to repeal the totality of civil rights laws in this country. That is the sinew of the power of the left in 2016.
Long, long review from a bunch of people I didn't know existed about stuff that they may or may not know something about. As the pic sez...

"Even the legalized recreational marijuana trade within the US will likely be under direct fire from the Trump administration's Justice Department."
Why is that? There is no evidence at all of any marijuana policy that I'm aware of. In fact Trump could probably get a lot of good will from the pothead liberals if he lightened up on pot and let the states handle it.
#2
Yes, #1. I see states rights addressed with Trump. So many from the outside bully the states and threaten to reduce funding for not towing their line so to speak.
I don't know about you folks, but I've been as happy as a pig in slop since Wednesday. This article just kept it going for another day.
It was supposed to be his grand valedictory tour. Now President Barack Obama must use his last major trip abroad to try to calm shocked world leaders about the outcome of the U.S. election, and what comes next when Donald Trump is president.
Trump's unforeseen victory has triggered pangs of uncertainty at home and grave concerns around the world. Though Obama has urged unity and said the U.S. must root for Trump's success, his trip to Greece, Germany and Peru forces him to confront global concerns about the future of America's leadership.
"In some ways, there's nothing to say," said Heather Conley, a Europe scholar at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Conley said Obama's trip, planned when it seemed certain Hillary Clinton would win, had been designed to reassure the world that the U.S. had regained its footing after a toxic campaign that unnerved foreign capitals. "Now the president has the unenviable task of telling his counterparts and explaining what Europeans are now coining 'the Trump effect,'" Conley said. To what extent does Trump's victory put a dent in Obama's Blaze of Glory activity (i.e., last minute regulations, pardons, etc.?) I think the more time he spends doing stuff like this, the less time he'll have running his chainsaw into our backs.

I thought the cutoff was 8:00 PM; must be different on weekends.
The cutoff moved to 2 p.m. ET, on regular days a while back, Raj, earlier at the moderators' judgement on heavy news days. We make an exception for major terror attacks, which are posted as soon as we notice.
A lot is being said now about the "silent secret Trump supporters."
This is my confession — and explanation: I — a 51-year-old, a Muslim, an immigrant woman "of color" — am one of those silent voters for Donald Trump. And I'm not a "bigot," "racist," "chauvinist" or "white supremacist," as Trump voters are being called, nor part of some "whitelash."
In the winter of 2008, as a lifelong liberal and proud daughter of West Virginia, a state born on the correct side of history on slavery, I moved to historically conservative Virginia only because the state had helped elect Barack Obama as the first African-American president of the United States.

Asra Q. Nomani is a former Wall Street Journal reporter and a co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement.
[Shooters Log] The military is making noises concerning a new sidearm. There is some controversy. Handguns, for whatever reason, seem to come with more emotional attachment and a sense of history than the rifle. I believe, that as a close quarters combat pistol, the Beretta 92 is lacking the most important attribute a sidearm should have and that is wound potential.
There is junk science in the world, and I choose to ignore it--as will most professional soldiers and peace officers.
Beretta A3 with ammunition box pistol case
The Beretta A3 is the latest in a long line of 9mm Beretta military handguns.
There is much to be said for the military simply ordering the pistols they need without going through a cumbersome trial. Congressional oversight is all well and good, after all, it is our tax money (As if congress has a good record for spending our money). The pistol should be vetted in an exhaustive trail but that isn’t that difficult. All it takes is time, personnel, and ammunition. The Beretta A3 isn’t a new pistol but a modified Beretta M9/M92. Senator John McCain felt that the Army should choose the caliber first. From his report:
"The Army plans to conduct ’an open caliber competition,’ which means the choice of caliber is left up to the discretion of industry. But the caliber of the cartridge and the type of bullet it launches is arguably the most important performance component of the handgun," the report states.
Army officers have made comments such as ’just buy a bunch of Glock 19 9mm pistols’, a reasonable trend. There are certain requirements in the Army circular for the MHS pistol (Army Modular Handgun System) that cannot be met by many pistols but which may be met by the Beretta A3. The A3 is an updated Beretta 92. That isn’t a bad thing as the Beretta’s primary advantage is reliability. It is accurate enough for any foreseeable handgun task.
Con't.

9mm is a useless piece of crap wouldn't stop a small cat much less an angry person with a knife or gun.
You want a pistol that ends arguments...and due to the stress of close combat a weapon that doesn't require a crack shot.
The .45 ACP will stop most anything on two legs and you can hit them anywhere and the argument is over...even if they are wearing a bulletproof vest the punch will break ribs and knock the wind out of them
I don't understand why our ordinance geniuses can't buy a weapon that kills people effectively.
#3
The .45 ACP will stop most anything on two legs
It was adopted to stop a four legged creature, in the US cavalry early in the 20th Century. So, if it can drop a horse, it can drop a human (or a drug crazed Moro) is just another plus in its factor.
Not quite as bad as your 'hand cannon', but still more of a shoot-look-shoot type. Just shooting for quick fire (squeeze, squeeze, squeeze) should only be done by a very well trained individual otherwise the spread is only good at close hand to hand range (which, by the way, is when you need a .45).
#12
Had the pleasure once of firing a .40, 9mm, .357 mag and a .45 in order. The 3.57 was the most cannon like, followed by the .40. The 9mm reminded me of my .22.
Then there was standing next to the guy with the .50.....oy.
[NYP] One of the thorniest questions facing the incoming Trump administration is what to do about America’s increasingly dysfunctional intelligence community, known collectively by its acronym, the IC. Made up of no fewer than 16 different agencies, the IC includes marquee services like the CIA and the National Security Agency, as well as more obscure spook fiefdoms such as Defense Intelligence Agency (serving the military) and the National Reconnaissance Office, which monitors America’s national-security concerns via satellites.
In the aftermath of Sept. 11., George W. Bush hastily reorganized the IC, creating the elephantine Department of Homeland Security to absorb some agencies, demoting the Director of Central Intelligence (formerly the nation’s top spy) to a subaltern and placing the entire IC under the aegis of a new Director of National Intelligence, who reports directly to the president.
Result: more bureaucrats, more staffers, more buildings -- but little if any improvement in national security. Indeed, you can argue we’re worse off today than we were 15 years ago.
Muslim terrorists run rampant at home. Abroad, the Russian bear hungrily eyes the Baltics and would love to snack again on Ukraine. In the Far East, China contests what’s left of the US Navy for control of the South China Sea, while an increasingly bellicose North Korea lobs missiles over Japan. And in Iran, the mullahs work on their bomb.
Trump’s first order of business, therefore, is to take control, firmly, by dissolving Homeland Security and cashiering the DNI, a jolly figure of comic relief named James Clapper. Another firing that would do wonders for morale is the prompt sacking of CIA Director John Brennan, widely derided as a careerist, yes-man and Islamophile.
Trump might consider splitting the agency, separating its intelligence-gathering arm (the spies) from its analytical operations. The Agency’s great weakness has long been falling in love with both its own expertise and with the nation’s adversaries -- which is why it’s failed to predict everything from the fall of the shah to the collapse of the Soviet Union. If stability is your goal, it’s easy to see no evil.
As the Clinton e-mails fiasco has shown, the FBI needs to be removed from the Justice Department and de-politicized. These days, its work is more about stopping terrorists than chasing bank robbers in Omaha, so its relationship to the CIA perhaps ought to be more like the UK secret services, MI5 (domestic) and MI6 (foreign), working together instead of antagonistically.
The lesser agencies, split among Defense, Treasury, DHS, State and the Energy departments could use consolidation and streamlining, so they better serve the current, overriding national purpose of defeating Islamic terrorism, and not the interests of their parent agencies.
In short, what we need is a leaner IC, relieved from political pressure and acting in concert for the preservation of the nation.
I saw the first posts on my Facebook page a little after 4:00 PM yesterday. A minute later it occurred to me, as it is the obvious conclusion - they were bussed in from Boston, where similar protests have been going on since Wednesday night.
It was an easy call - I'm pretty sure this has never happened in Manchester before; there's no history of then protesting jack squat. Naturally this angle is ignored by the press (it's the Concord Monitor - think of them as the little Boston Globe). If I were living there, I'd have looked for the buses, probably off of Canal Street, which runs parallel to Elm Street but a few blocks away, and they can come in from the Amoskeag Bridge exit and get there within 3 or 4 blocks and not attract too much attention. I'd have checked their tires for the correct air pressure, just to make sure they'd have a safe trip home...
As the sun began to set along Elm Street in Manchester Saturday, the sidewalk outside city hall filled, as men, women and children carried signs in protest of president elect Donald Trump.
The crowd chanted "Love Trumps Hate" and "Not My President" among other slogans as cars drove by and honked. Just across the street were several men, one holding a "Don’t Tread On Me" flag in support of Trump.
Both sides remained relatively peaceful, though Manchester Police officers did approach one Trump supporter. They asked Manchester resident John Camden to tone it down after his yelling escalated, at one point him telling those across the street to "come and get me."

Someone elsewhere commented that they were having a lovely protest in Austin, but then the communists arrived. Someone else, amended that to anarchists, adding that they ruin every protest they attach themselves to these days.
