[Breitbart London] Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) criticized Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) for blaming gun violence in Milwaukee on Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) on Wednesday's "Kelly File" on the Fox News Channel.
"When you're a liberal politician, the tendency is that when you have no solutions to what's going on in a city, a state, a country, you blame political adversaries. This was a cheap shot by Mayor Tom Barrett, but it's important to add that Tom Barrett lost twice in [the] race for Governor against Scott Walker, and there's probably some residual bitterness. Mayor Barrett is also a disciple, and on the board of the mayors against the Second Amendment, Michael Bloomberg's group and Mayor Barrett was just regurgitating from Michael Bloomberg's anti-gun talking points memo. Mayor Barrett has been the Mayor of Milwaukee for ten years, this stuff's been going on for a long time, and it's his failed policies that have led us to where we're at today" Clarke stated.

From the interviews Clarke has given, he sounds like a conservative. The "D" after his name surprised me. Maybe he is one of those very rare blue dog democrats from yesteryear. Someone should inform him that his party has been taken over by the mean-spirited, corrupt radical left.

Ah, how that "D" imbues immunity, particularly when one is classified by the inner party as a protected group. They can't do anything short of an old style Democratic lynching to remove the miscreant. Check and Checkmate.

Sheriff David (NOT 'Dave') is socially quite liberal about a lot of things (except gun control and 'no-restriction/no-consequence welfare') and he'll tell you that.
He is a serious bad-*ss when it comes to law and order, though.

h/t Gates of Vienna
The Clinton Foundation said late Wednesday that it will continue to accept donations from foreign governments during Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, despite concerns that such gifts will create a conflict of interest for the Democratic front-runner. In case you worried about Bill & Hill going broke again.
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] She'd meet more ordinary citizens going to a mall than traveling in a motorcade. Just sayin'. More expensive for her to bus in an entire mall full of people. She'd have to hit up the foreign donors... Her attempt to cast herself as one of The People is meant only for the rubes. That would be you and me.. Equal time, fair & ballanced, etc: Elizabeth Warren campaign vehicle at the right.

She could sell ice cream bars from the scooby van to raise money. After all, she left the WH dead broke. The scooby van could have the calliope music blaring out from the van. O.K., forget about it. We really don't want her anyway.
[Wash Times] Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina said Thursday that she will be able to defuse Democrats' "war on women" attacks against Republicans in the 2016 election, and said if she's the GOP's presidential nominee, Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton wouldn't be able to play the "gender card." Possibly not, but as mentioned here recently, she can certainly play the LGBT card if necessary.

Because there is a double standard, Hilda will play the gender and sexism card against any opponent. She and her party have no trouble making up stuff to destroy an opponent's character. See Romney and the 2012 election as well as Saul Alinky's Rules for Radicals.

I like Carly out there attacking Hillary. I'm less thrilled with her as a candidate, even for VP. I think she should be trying for a seat in the House of Representatives, or go against Gov Brown at the next opportunity. You don't shoot for the moon when you've never held office.
[Weekly Standard] "On Thursday, Clinton's motorcade left the SpringHill Suites for Main Street Cafe, where she met privately with party leaders for about an hour and a half," reports KETV in Omaha.
"Pottawattamie County Democratic Chairwoman Linda Nelson said the meeting was so private that everyone invited was asked to hand over their cellphones and cameras before taking part."
The Clinton campaign has been trying to control Hillary's campaign events as much as possible. Yes, we've noticed. Nearly everything about the Clintons centers around some sort of secrecy or control.
Taking the cellphones and cameras of possible voters, however, is usually reserved for high-level national security events, not campaign stops. Possibly a foretelling of things to come at the macro level.
[WASHINGTONPOST] MARYLAND GOV. Larry Hogan, who never held elective office before voters chose him last fall, was true to his promise to govern from the center in the first legislative session of his term. Hogan ran as a conservative. We voted for him over a Martin O'Malley clone.
As a Republican governor faced with Democratic majorities in both houses of the legislature, he presented modest initiatives: measured tax breaks for first-responders, military veterans and small businesses; a repeal of the so-called “rain tax” on stormwater runoff, his main campaign talking point; small budget cuts to public schools and state worker pay; a sensible bill to encourage creation of more charter schools. The Dem majorities come from Baltimore city, Prince Georges County (mostly DC suburbs) and Montgomery county. The minorities represent mostly the Eastern Shore and western Maryland, which are where we keep our rural.
Despite tactical blunders, Mr. Hogan did not try to force an ideologically ambitious right-wing agenda on Democrats; if he had, we’d have understood their reluctance to meet him halfway. Instead, he proceeded cautiously — and was still met with hostility and snubs from the Democrats in control. That's the same situation the previous Publican governor, Bob Ehrlich, faced.
To hear the Democratic lawmakers tell it, you’d think they had spent the session trying to rescue schools and public employees from the predations of an alien invader. In fact, in their budget impasse with the governor, they were mainly intent on protecting their party’s core constituents today and shifting the burden of paying state pensions to Maryland taxpayers in the future. The party's core constituencies include blacks, LGBTs, unionized govt employees, and--theoretically--Hispanics. Everybody else is racist, there to supply tax funds.
Despite Mr. Hogan’s pragmatic restraint, Democrats rejected most of his proposals; they also ignored his attempt to sustain catch-up contributions to the pension fund. They did repeal the “rain tax” but with the proviso that localities would have to devise other means to contain stormwater runoff. If Marrtin O'Malley actually runs for president the Pubs should be waving signs reading "Rain Tax" at each and every appearance.
On public charter schools, the legislature took a bad law and made it worse. Democrats ignored reforms sought by the governor that would have given such schools needed flexibility. Instead they weakened the chartering authority of the state board of education and created new ways for local boards to meddle in the operations of charter schools. Mr. Hogan should veto the bill. The teachers' union writes the education legislation for our Dem machine...
As the session wound down, the governor at first seemed to declare victory, then wondered publicly what had become of his agenda. He warned he wouldn’t spend the tens of millions of additional dollars approved by lawmakers for schools and state worker raises, then suggested that he probably would. He said nothing for two weeks about the Democrats’ raid on pension fund contributions, then declared it a “line in the sand” he would not allow. He's still in the "nice fellow" stage. I hope he grows fangs pretty soon.
If Mr. Hogan was inconsistent, Democrats were unyielding and heedless of November’s election results. The machines are still turning them out, so what's to worry?
By slashing pension contributions, which were also halved by lawmakers last year, they simply postponed the burden of filling the pension fund and saddled future generations of taxpayers with a bill amounting to an additional $2.5 billion. It's only money. The taxpayers will cough up. There'll be more equivalents to the rain tax--maybe an air tax.
For all his rookie mistakes, Mr. Hogan was the one in Annapolis who seemed to grasp the exigencies of divided government. The Democrats, to all appearances, are still learning. They're not learning anything. With a Dem governor it was full speed ahead. I lost count of the number of new or increased taxes or fees. With a Pub governor the tactic is simply to make sure he has no accomplishments, no successes, and only one term. Politix is all.

The Democrats are politically interbred in Maryland.They believe this is a game they play exclusively in Maryland. Same thing is repeated all over the country as can be seen where they have been in power for years. Ehrich left office with a surplus and O'Malley left things in in the red after eight years of being in office. Seems much longer. O'Malley was a Tax and Spend headcase from day one. O cutting Defense spending has hurt Maryland big time.
