I was browsing the Google+ communities that I belong to and
came across a 41-minute speech of Donald Trump. The speech was hugely
anti-Hillary and smacked around like a crooked ragged doll. For all of Hillary’s
half-truth innuendos and outright lies campaigning against Trump, the
anti-Hillary speech was a tour de force of triumph. Trump exposed every bit of
the hypocrisy that Hillary has been tossing like dried cow-pies at the
presumptive GOP nominee for POTUS. Essentially Trump’s speech rebuttals forced
Hillary to slip on some wet slimy cow-pies which she also found on her face
after ground impact.
I had a slight problem with two points of Trumps speech:
1) Inviting
disgruntled Sanders voters to vote for Trump for real change against
establishment politics.
2) Highlighting
Trump’s stand against the U.S. invasion of Iraq under President George W. Bush’s
direction.
In the case of
inviting disgruntled Sanders voters onto the Trump although potentially
helpful for election is ideologically dangerous. Bernie Sanders is an avowed
Socialist which means a big dose of taking everyone’s and redistributing it to
people who are undeserving able bodies workmen who didn’t earn the money. Obama
is a discreet Socialist/Marxist and Hillary follows that path of redistribution
clandestinely as well. BUT Bernie (actually to his credit for truthfulness)
forget the traditional Dem Party fooling American voters, let’s just be honest
and tell that the Dems want to transform America into a failed faux-utopia. AND SANDERS VOTERS ABSOLUTELY BUY INTO THE
MYTH OF UTOPIAN SOCIALISM! If Trump welcomes Sanders voters he may want to
do that with a pro-Capitalist caveat.
As to invading Iraq,
I then believed and still believe it was important to rid the world of the real
Butcher of Baghdad in Saddam Hussein. Saddam was despotic dictator that terrorized
his populace with equal opportunity. The Shia Muslims and the Kurdish Sunni
Muslims were targets of often bloody oppression. And any Sunni Muslims that
were not a part of Saddam’s Arab tribalistic affiliation faced his venom at any
hint of backbone against the dictator’s regime. And there was the continuous
threat against Israel that included sending scud rockets to Israel in the first
Iraq war against American allies and the USA. Also let’s not forget at least
two Saddam’s sons who marched around lawlessly even kidnapping women off the
street to rape them. I might be wrong, but it seems the least persecuted group
under Saddam Hussein were the indigenous Christian population. However, I have
no doubts the Iraqi Christians had their share of Saddam persecution just not
on the level of the rest of Iraqis and certainly not on the level Christians
are currently experiencing under ISIS control.
It is my opinion that the big mistake with GW’s invasion of
Iraq was the attempt to nation build Iraq as a single nation under the same
ethnic-religious divides that existed from British creation right through the
horrific regime of Saddam Hussein. The nation building would probably worked if
Iraq was divided into at least three independent nations roughly along the
lines of Sunnis, Shias and Kurds.
I understand the geopolitical reasons as to why GW didn’t
divide Iraq up. Those reasons largely were the probability the huge Shia
population would have become at least a dominion of Iran. And neither Turkey
(our ally at the time) nor Iran (troublesome U.S. enemy) were too fond of an
independent Kurdish nation since both those nations had significant Kurdish
citizens also persecuted by Turkey and Iran.
American Leftists like to use the hindsight that no nuclear
material was found in Iraq capable of making nukes. AND YET the Dems read the
same Intelligence reports the Bush Administration read and signed-off on
invading Iraq’s crazy Saddam. There are some legitimate reports that Russian Spetsnaz forces clandestinely transferred the usable WMD material Assad’s Syria
(See Also HERE) and it is absolutely
proven that U.S. naval vessels shipped yellowcake
(See Also HERE) from uranium to
Canada for reasons or purposes I’m currently unaware of. So it is
understandable that American Intelligence erred on the side of inflating Saddam’s
nuke capabilities. Saddam was so crazy that even a hint of the possibility of a
nuke potential should have been good enough to remove the Butcher of Baghdad.
ANYWAY, Hillary thought so as well (See Also HERE). She voted for
invasion with the same Intelligence reports.
So, below is the full anti-Hillary speech from Donald Trump
giving us a clue that he won’t lay down for the Left like Mitt Romney did and I’m
following that with a FrontPageMag
article showing the Trump speech closer to reality than the stench protruding
from Hillary’s lips.

LIAR, LIAR PANTSUIT ON FIRE
And with Donald Trump's renewed focus, is the comeuppance of
economically illiterate "Crooked Hillary" at hand?
June 23, 2016
Editor’s note: Credit goes to Dr. Bob Shillman for the
title of this article.
Hillary Clinton's bizarre claim that billionaire businessman
Donald Trump will cause a recession if elected to the presidency was
overshadowed yesterday as Trump took deadly aim at the pathological liar's
horrifying public service track record.
For her part, Clinton glibly dismissed Trump.
"As I said yesterday in Ohio, Donald Trump offers no
real solutions for the economic challenges we face," Clinton said in a
speech to the faithful in Raleigh, N.C. "He just continues to spout
reckless ideas that will run up our debt and cause another economic
crash."
Around the same time, Trump, the presumptive Republican
nominee for president, laid into "Crooked Hillary" with a vigor and
focus that Americans haven't seen for a while. Trump's speech, in which he
accurately described Clinton as a "world-class liar," was very well
received and is making left-wing pundits nervous -- for good reason.
Unlike Trump's address, Clinton's speech was
a carefully constructed alternate reality held together by a tissue of leftist
lies. Clinton's oration was an economically illiterate catalog of hoary Marxist
clichés, or as Dr. Bob Shillman quipped, "liar, liar, pantsuit on
fire."
Clinton offered a vague outline of her disastrous
socialistic economic agenda, largely a continuation of President Obama's
anti-growth policies and tainted as it is by a focus on so-called social
justice objectives at the expense of economic growth and individual rights.
She spoke nonsensically of "growth that’s strong, fair,
and lasting ... that reduces inequality, increases upward mobility, that
reaches into every corner of our country." To keep her union thugs happy,
Clinton vowed to "say no to bad trade deals and unfair trade practices,
including the Trans-Pacific Partnership," and no to the "assault on
the right to organize and bargain collectively."
Ignoring the fact that she served front and center in a
radically left-wing administration that over the last nearly seven and a half
years has presided over the weakest economic recovery since the Great
Depression, Clinton promised "to make this economy work for everybody ...
building it from the ground up, from every home and every community, all the
way to Washington."
Leftists like Hillary enjoy anthropomorphizing inanimate
objects and abstract concepts because they can't win policy arguments on the
merits. They prefer fabricating monsters they can slay.
Guns and gas-guzzling SUVs "kill" people, they
routinely claim as if machines were sentient, volitional beings. To them the
U.S. Constitution is a "living document" that changes with the times.
And like their cousins the Keynesians, they treat the economy like a circus
animal that can be manipulated and taught tricks, instead of as the product of
billions of individual decisions made every day by producers and consumers.
Clinton dredged up one of the Left's favorite and most
insidious talking points, declaring "it is way past time for us to
guarantee equal pay for women."
The fanciful claim that
women earn less than men will probably never die because it is
essential to the Left's narrative that America is inherently unfair. Of course
comparing men's wages to women's wages is like comparing apples to oranges.
Women pull in less money because they tend to opt for more humanities and fewer
science and math majors in college. Owing to family and child-rearing
obligations, women as a group also tend not to work the long hours that men
work.
Critiquing President Obama's claim that women earn just 77
cents for every dollar men earn, the Manhattan Institute's Diana
Furchtgott-Roth wrote in 2013 that the 77-cent figure "is bogus because it
averages all full-time women, no matter what education and profession, with all
full-time men."
"Unmarried childless women's salaries, however, often
exceed men's," she wrote. "In a comparison of unmarried and childless
men and women between the ages of 35 and 43, women earn more: 108 cents on a
man's dollar."
The feminist fabulist continued spinning yarns.
"Excessive inequalities such as we have today reduces
economic growth," Clinton said, pretending she likes the market economy.
"Markets work best when all the stakeholders share in the benefits,"
she said, paying homage to candidate Obama's mantra that "when you spread
the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
"There are great ideas out there," Clinton said.
"And we are going to be partners in a big, bold effort to increase
economic growth and distribute it more fairly, to build that economy that works
for everyone, not just those at the top." The "Wall Street
corporations and the super rich," also known as her most ardent
supporters, must be made to "pay their fair share of taxes."
She promised to "make college debt-free for all"
and to "rewrite the rules so more companies share profits with their
employers and few ship profits and jobs overseas."
Clinton defended the international
cash-for-future-presidential-favors trading platform known as the Bill, Hillary
and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. She belittled Trump for highlighting the
corruption endemic to the enterprise that is primarily devoted to enriching the
Clinton family.
Trump is trying "to distract us" by
"attacking a philanthropic foundation that saves and improves lives around
the world," she said with a straight face. "It's no surprise he
doesn't understand these things."
The Heritage Foundation's Stephen Moore dismantled what
he called Clinton's "Twilight Zone" grab bag of proposals. A related
speech Hillary gave the previous day "was vacant of ANY ideas at all about
how to help the economy. The left's idea cupboard is entirely empty. "
Moore mocked her claim that here "in America we pay our
bills," a reference to what he called "Trump's sensible idea of
refinancing out debt to lock in historically low interest rates." The
Obama administration in which Clinton served has generated some $8 trillion of
new debt, which is hardly "paying the bills."
"It's passing them on to the next generation,"
Moore wrote.
Clinton's claim that Trump doesn't understand the new
economy and job creation, is "a bold claim since Donald Trump is a highly
successful businessman who actually has created thousands of jobs, while
Hillary has gotten rich off of... politics."
Moore continued:
"The class warfare theme
ran throughout the speech, and yet this presents Hillary with another
uncomfortable problem. Obama has raised the minimum wage, he already did spend
$830 billion on infrastructure stimulus spending, and he has taxed the bejesus
out of the rich. And the result wasn't more equality and a resurgent middle
class, but an angry and worried worker class that hasn't seen a pay raise in 15
years and with household incomes in the last seven years that have fallen
behind inflation. Some 95 million Americans aren't working and the poverty rate
is still hellishly high."
Clinton "is selling the American voters sand in the
desert: four more years of stay the course economic bromides at a time when two
out of three voters say that the U.S. is on the wrong, not the right
track."
Trump fired back at Hillary yesterday, hitting her hard
enough that Clinton worshippers are getting anxious.
Slate's Michelle Goldberg lamented that
the tide may be turning against the Benghazi bungler Trump paints as a corrupt,
money-grubbing, political hack. Crestfallen, the diehard leftist called Trump's
Wednesday speech on Clinton's record dishonest and demagogic but
"terrifyingly effective" and "probably the most unnervingly
effective" speech the man has ever given.
"In a momentary display of discipline, he read from a
teleprompter with virtually no ad-libbing, avoiding digs at Bill Clinton’s
infidelity or conspiracy theories about Vince Foster’s suicide," speaking
"for 40 minutes without saying anything overtly sexist." Instead, he
took aim at "Clinton’s most-serious weaknesses, describing her as a venal
tool of the establishment."
“Hillary Clinton gave China millions of our best jobs and
effectively let China completely rebuild itself,” Trump said. “In return,
Hillary Clinton got rich!” He added, “She gets rich making you poor,” and
declared her possibly “the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency.”
Goldberg treated Trump's address as brilliant performance
art in which he "interwove truth and falsehood into a plausible-seeming
picture meant to reinforce listeners' underlying beliefs."
Pretending her readers were complete idiots ignorant of
Hillary's history, Goldberg wheeled out Washington establishment yes man David
Gergen to denounce what he called Trump's "slanderous speech." On CNN
an animated Gergen made a fool of himself by castigating Trump for relying on
the exhaustively documented allegations
of graft and corruption in Clinton Cash: The Untold
Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and
Hillary Rich, by acclaimed best-selling author Peter Schweizer.
Regurgitating the self-serving nonsense peddled by leftist
slander shop Media Matters for America, the "conservative
misinformation" monitor that Hillary herself takes credit for founding,
Gergen said that the "book has been basically discredited."
Not so. In fact, the New York Times, New
Yorker, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Politico,
Bloomberg, Reuters, ABC News, and CBS News have
all confirmed several key details in Clinton Cash,
investigative reporter Matthew Boyle points out.
Gergen added, "I'm sorry, at this level, you can't
slander somebody."
Why Gergen has attained such prominence at this level in the
Washington punditocracy is unclear.
What is clear is that he seems to know nothing about the
Clinton family and has been asleep throughout Barack Obama's Saul
Alinsky-inspired presidency.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center combats the efforts of
the radical left and its Islamist allies to destroy American values and disarm
this country as it attempts to defend itself in a time of terror. The
leftist offensive is most obvious on our nation’s campuses, where the Freedom
Center protects students from indoctrination and intimidation and works to give
conservative students a place in the marketplace of ideas from which they are
otherwise excluded. Combining forceful analysis and bold activism, the
Freedom Center provides strong insight into today’s most pressing issue on its
family of websites and in the activist campaigns it wages on campus, in the
news media, and in national politics throughout the year.
David Horowitz began the Center for the Study of Popular Culture in 1988
to establish a conservative presence in Hollywood and show how popular culture
had become a political battleground. Over the next 18 years, CSPC attracted
50,000 contributing supporters and established programs such as The Wednesday Morning Club, the Individual
Rights Foundation, and Students for Academic
Freedom.
FrontPage Magazine, the Center’s online journal of news and political
commentary has 1.5 million visitors and over 870,000 unique visitors a month
(65 million hits) and is linked to over 2000 other websites. The
magazine’s coverage of and commentary about events has been greatly augmented
over the last two years by the presence of four Shillman Fellows in
