COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Roger Simon 8/28
No matter how
extreme the future revelations of Julian Assange and others turn out to be, the
truth about the Clinton Foundation is already clear. Whatever its original intentions,
this supposed charity became a medium to leverage Hillary Clinton's position as
secretary of State for personal enrichment and global control by the Clintons
and their allies. We also now know—as
the Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel made clear in her recent oped—why
Hillary decided to hide all her emails on her "infamous server."
To my knowledge,
nothing like this has ever been done in the history of the United States
government. It calls to mind, if anything, the United Nations' scandalous Oil-for-Food program in which millions were
siphoned off from a plan to feed Iraq's children during the war. It could even
be worse, because of the national security implications. The Clinton Foundation
and the State Department were commingled to such an extent we may never know
the truth, certainly not before the election since that same State Department has
refused to release Hillary's official schedule before then.
This means, quite
simply, that the United States of America has abandoned the rule of law. Maybe
we did a while ago. In any case, we are now a banana republic—a rich and
powerful one, at least temporarily, but still a banana republic.
The election of
Hillary Clinton—our own Evita—will make the situation yet more grave. Consider
something so basic as how you raise your children in a country where the
president is most probably an indictable criminal and most certainly a serial
liar of almost inexhaustible proportions. What do you tell them? What do their
teachers tell them? A far cry from George Washington, isn't it? What does this
say about our basic morality and how does that affect all aspects of our
culture? The fish, as they say, rots from the top.
Equally importantly,
what does our government do as further actionable information emerges as it
inevitably will? The Department of Justice, as we have seen, is already
corrupt, unable to indict those in power, indeed colluding with them aboard
airplanes. The same personnel will undoubtedly be in place. Can we rely on
congressional oversight for justice and/or a potential impeachment? What if the
Democrats control the Senate?
In the far less
serious Watergate era, Republicans like Howard Baker stood up against Nixon.
Democrats, however, cling to power the way they accuse Republicans of clinging
to their guns and religion and will no doubt avert their eyes, pretending, with
their friends in the media, that nothing out of the norm is happening. But
plenty is and will. Look to Sweden for the future of America. And with expanded
entitlements and immigration, Syrian and otherwise, don't look for a Republican
revival in 2020. Those days will be long over.
"A republic,
if you can keep it," Benjamin Franklin reportedly said when emerging from
the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
Yes, it may be apocryphal, but so are many important statements that are
true in concept. 2016 is about to mark the year we lost that republic. It could
well be an historical date like 1066, 1215 and 1776. Think about that one.
Which leads us to
Donald Trump (as usual). He is, like it
or not, the last man standing to prevent this. He and all of us. And that
includes you, NeverTrumpers. There is nothing, repeat NOTHING that Trump has
ever done that comes remotely within the proverbial spitting distance of the
malfeasances of the Clinton Foundation. The big difference between Trump and
Clinton is this: What distresses us about Donald is what he says. What
distresses us about Hillary is what she does. Anyone with an IQ in the
also proverbial triple digits knows which is worse. It's time for the
NeverTrumpers to abandon what's left of their crusade for the sake of the
country.

FROM OTHER COLUMNS
"I have a rule or two about the topic of race. ... The
first rule is that in a dialogue about politics, current events, horticulture,
haute cuisine, you name it, the first person to introduce the question of race
is probably a racist. If that person belabors the point, he is definitely a
racist intent on exploiting the issue for personal gain. Finally, if he is
obsessive on the matter, his racism has become pathological. ... By this
standard, Hillary Clinton is definitely, at least by contemporary standards, a
racist."

Emmett Tyrell
"One might think that an athlete like Kaepernick, not
long ago fined for calling an opposing player the N-word, would be a tad
reluctant to blast America for its alleged racism and oppression. But this is
about America's racism, not his own. The recent Will Smith movie 'Concussion'
argues that football causes brain damage. As for Kaepernick, it might well be a
case of early onset."
-Larry Elder
"I guess the Mexican President didn't want to pay the
$250,000 speaking fee to talk with Hillary?"

"The CEO of Wendy's says the election is hurting the
chain's burger sales — people are spending less because they are worried about
the future. Let's be honest here, if you're eating a Wendy's Baconator, you're
probably not too concerned about the future."
-Jimmy Fallon

LEFTIST WATCH
An internal proposed strategy from George Soros’s
organization calls for international regulation of “what information is taken
off the Internet and what may remain.”
“Soros is a brilliant mastermind, the closest thing to a
real life Bond villain in human history. He thinks strategically, targeting
sources of leverage, and he wants to bring about structural change. Soros has directed his wealth into an
under-the-radar 2016 campaign to advance one of the progressive movement’s core
goals — reshaping the American justice system. The billionaire financier has
channeled more than $3 million into seven local district attorney campaigns in
six states.

Women voters need to think about this; both Hillary and her
closest aide Huma Abedin are married to men who aggressively seek out anonymous
women. Both of their husbands are sexual predators.
A new study by one of America´s leading demographers and
economists argues that in fact we are in the midst of a full-blown unemployment
crisis — one that remains, in his words, "hidden." http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/caution-men-not-at-work/
The principal electoral strategy of Donald Trump has been
the bet that non-voters in recent elections will turn out, with some of them
registering to vote for the first time. This is jokingly known as the “Monster
Vote,” both because of its size and because the elites look down their noses at
many of this demographic cohort. Existing models of the electorate used by most
polls do not account for these hypothetical voters, which is the comfort Trump
supporters offer one another in the face of unceasing negative news and media
attacks.
Only a Trump economy could fund the lacking defenses In
order to rebuild the U.S. military the next president is going to have to do
the following things with the economy. The next administration must design a
growth plan that will allow the U.S. economy to expand at a 3 percent to 6
percent rate per year. Only Donald Trump’s plan has the opportunity to do this.
You haven’t been told the truth. You have been subjected to
relentless sophistry and lies. We have been told over and over again that gays,
lesbians, and transgenders are “born that way.” Science, in fact, makes no such
claim. Never has. In fact, social science, biological science, and every branch
of medical science and psychology contradict this claim.

made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are
made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote — a very
