Philadelphia mayor's first act is to rescind cooperation with immigration agency
[LATINO.FOXNEWS] Philadelphia's new mayor, Jim Kenney, signed an executive order only hours after being sworn in that rescinds the city's participation in a controversial program set up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Kenney's order comes only a day after a series of ICE raids across the country that have been condemned by immigration activists.

"On his first day in office, newly elected Mayor Kenney reaffirmed that the City of Philadelphia is in fact the City of Brotherly Love,” Erika Almiron, director of the Philadelphia-based non-profit Juntos, said in a press release. “As ICE raids sew
Layers of editors, my left foot. It's sow, guys, pronounced with a long o, meaning the spreading of seeds across the soil to plant them so they will grow up to become harvestable. Sew, with the same pronunciation, is done with needle and thread. And sow, pronounced with the -ow diphthong, is a female pig.
new levels of fear in our communities, Mayor Kenney is making sure local officials have nothing to do with it.”
See? It's okay to disregard federal law. Nothing wrong with it at all. Perhaps conservative states could do this and cite the good Mayor Kenney as their inspiration. And it's time to put the IRS on the spot...

Bill Clinton Privately Mocked Paula Jones as an Attention-Seeking 'Floozy'
[FREEBEACON] Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is...
dismissed Paula Jones in the 1990s as a "floozy" and a "nobody" who was only suing him for sexual harassment in order to have her "moment in the sun," according to an audio diary recorded at the time by one of his closest confidantes.

Clinton's friend and biographer, Taylor Branch, took notes on a late-night conversation he had with the president on Oct. 2, 1997, and immediately recorded them into an audio diary. The recordings were recently obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

According to Branch's diary, Clinton discussed the pending sexual harassment lawsuit brought against him by former Arkansas government employee Paula Jones, who claimed he unzipped his pants and asked her to perform a sex act on him in a Little Rock hotel room in 1991.

"[Clinton] said they had now changed Paula Jones's hair style, made her look less like a floozy, and that she didn't seem to have any visible income but was always driving a new car," said Branch, a historian who drew from many of his diary entries to write his 2010 Clinton biography The Clinton Tapes.

#1  What is little mentioned is that the Washington Post interviewed Paula Jones in October before the first Clinton election and editors at the WaPo sat on the story until after Paula had her first press conference.

The WaPo could have put an end to the Clinton campaign and deliberately quashed important information.

#3  Charles Krauthammer - ON THE CLINTON'S

The Clinton Foundation is "organized crime" at its finest, and we are financing it! Here is a good, concise summary of how the Clinton Foundation works as a tax free international money laundering scheme. It may eventually prove to be the largest political criminal enterprise in U.S. history. This is a textbook case on how you hide foreign money sent to you
and re-package it, to be used for your own purposes. All tax free.

Here's how it works:

1. You create a separate foreign "charity." In this case one in Canada.

2. Foreign oligarch's & governments, then donate to this Canadian charity.
In this case, over 1,000 did, contributing mega millions. I am sure they did this out of the goodness of their hearts, and expected nothing in
return. (Imagine Putin's buddies waking up one morning and just deciding to
send un-told millions to a Canadian charity).

3. The Canadian charity then bundles these separate donations & makes a
massive donation to the Clinton Foundation.

4. The Clinton Foundation, and the cooperating Canadian charity claim
Canadian law prohibits the identification of individual donors.

5. The Clinton Foundation, then "spends" some of this money, for legitimate
good works programs. Unfortunately, experts believe this is on the order of
10%. Much of the balance goes to enrich the Clinton's, pay salaries to
un-told numbers of hangers on, & fund lavish travel, etc. Again virtually
all tax free, which means you & I are subsidizing it.

6. The Clinton Foundation with access to the world's best accountants,
somehow fails to report much of this on their tax filings. They discover
these "clerical errors" and begin the process of re-filing 5 years of tax
returns.

7. Net result: foreign money, much of it from other countries, goes into the
Clinton's pockets tax free & untraceable back to the original donor. This
is the textbook definition of money laundering.

Oh, by the way, the Canadian "charity" includes, as a principal one Frank
Giustra. Google him. He is the guy who was central to the formation of
Uranium One, a Canadian company that somehow acquired massive U.S. uranium
interests & then sold them to an organization controlled by Russia. This
transaction required U.S. State Department approval, and, guess who was
Secretary of State, when the approval, was granted? As an aside, imagine
how former, Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell feels. That poor schlep is in jail because he and his wife took $165,000 in gifts and loans for doing
minor favors, for a guy promoting, a vitamin company. Not legal, but not
exactly putting U.S. security at risk.

Sarcasm aside, if you are still not persuaded, this was a cleverly
structured way to get unidentified foreign money to the Clinton's, ask
yourself this: Why did these foreign interests funnel money through a
Canadian charity? Why not donate directly to the Clinton Foundation?
Better yet, why not donate money directly to the people, organizations &
countries in need?

This is the essence of money laundering and influence peddling. Now you
know why Hillary's destruction of 30,000 e-mails was a risk, she was willing
to take. Bill and Hillary are devious, unprincipled, dishonest, and
criminal, and they are Slick!

Warning: They could be back in the White House in January 2017. Do not let
it happen. Remember, most people are not well informed. We must somehow
inform and educate them.

Charles Krauthammer

Warm Wishes and May God Bless America.

p.s. God help America!

LE Officials, Med Professionals: There's Something Seriously Wrong With Hildebeest's Health
[Breitbart] Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton's disappearance from the debate stage last month left people speculating that the former First Lady took a long bathroom break, but now a law-enforcement source with inside connections is alleging that Clinton was missing from the stage due to health issues stemming from a previous brain injury.
Rubbish! A simple Chipotle backup and mind clearly BM. She appeared jovial and completely reinvigorated upon her stage return.
These long-lasting symptoms stemming from a concussion and blood clot, according to a neurologist, suggest Clinton is suffering from post-concussion syndrome, which can severely impact her cognitive abilities.

All that said, however, Clinton's campaign maintained to Breitbart News that she is in good health and can serve as President of the United States.

"Strong source just told me something I suspected. Hillary's debate 'bathroom break' wasn't that, but flare up of problems from brain injury," wrote John Cardillo on Twitter.

Maryland Democrats push to use Obamacare as voter registration drive
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Maryland Democrats hope to break new ground in the push for universal voter registration, planning to wage a fight in the General Assembly this year to automatically sign up everyone who visits certain state social services agency or buys coverage through the state's Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
exchange.

State Sen. Victor Ramirez, Prince George's County Democrat, and state Sen. Roger Manno, Montgomery County Democrat, have already pre-filed automatic registration bills ahead of the legislative session, saying they are trying to cut down on barriers that keep poor people from showing up at the polls on Election Day.

The bills would automatically register everyone who applies for services at the state's Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) unless the customers specifically opt out -- a reversal from the current situation, where customers are asked to opt in.
