American and Latin American Politics, Society, and Culture
According to the post, there were three sources of funding:
The unknown first client,
The second: Hillary/DNC,
The third: The FBI, who apparently offered, but didn’t, pay.
I have questions.
Read my post, It’s official: the Dems paid for the Trump-Russia dossier
Hillary was Secretary of State back then, but the State Department dragged its feet for a week or two, and apparently Bill decided to not meet with the 15 Russians on his list.
Rather, Bill cut to the chase.
Read my post, Who wanted to meet with the Russians? Bill Clinton.
Prior to Hillary’s rant, the only Macedonians I ever heard of were Alexander the Great’s thundering hordes, who took over a large chunk of land from 334-323 B.C.
Alexander wept, and so did Hillary, but for different reasons.
Read my post, Hillary: All this, and Macedonians, too.
noun
1. hatred of males.
In an attempt to make herself relevant, the once-future POTUS emerged to make a video:
The video was made for the MAKERS conference and starts with (emphasis added),
“Despite all the challenges we face, I remained convinced that, yes, the future is female,”
Yes, the same woman who chose to alienate anyone not voting for her as deplorable and irredeemable now implies that there is no room for men in the future. [Flashback to The Lonely Life of Julia]
Hillary’s female supporters, who refer to a Catholic gay guy with a Jewish mom and an African-American boyfriend as a Nazi, ought to drop the masks, don their pink pussyhats, and join in a rousing chorus of this song from Cabaret:
As Dana Loesch put it,
“The future is female?” What an incredibly tone deaf and sexist remark — not to mention awful message to send to boys like my sons. The future is EVERYONE’S.
If you don’t like what I’m saying, deal with it. Hillary urged “We need strong women to step up and speak out,” and I have.
And a question,
Where does that leave those transitioning to male?

If you were a committed Hillary supporter from the start and were in Manhattan last night, at the Javitz Center, you stood for nine emotional hours waiting for Hillary. Five hundred and seventy six days and nine hours later, when it was clear she lost, and you needed her presence . . . Read the rest here.
Frank Calzon asks, Have the Cubans Broken into Hillary Clinton’s E-Mail?
“. . . on October 14, the White House announced a new policy directive on Cuba: The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) will support broader United States government efforts to normalize relations with Cuba, with Intelligence Community elements working to find opportunities for engagement on areas of common interest through which we could exchange information on mutual threats with Cuban counterparts.”
[Emphasis added.]
That demands an answer from the president or Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, to the questions: Is Cuba one of the five nations given a “99 percent chance”? And did Cuba access Clinton’s e-mails? (Rhodes has been leading the continuing secret negotiations with Cuba’s Colonel Alejandro Castro Espín, son of Cuba’s president, Raul Castro, regarding the continuing rapprochement between the two nations.)
To answer Calzon’s question, $5 says not just yes, but hell, yes.
Or, as Capt. Louis put it,
Mary O’Grady posits an interesting scenario,
The Cost of Obama’s Cuba Policy. Exiles who oppose normalization could give Trump Florida’s 29 electoral votes.
Cuban-Americans who initially supported Mr. Obama’s outreach are increasingly disillusioned with an administration strategy that helps the Castros but leaves out the Cuban people. This could affect turnout among left-of-center voters who care about human rights.
The Obama policy also seems to be energizing greater numbers of conservative and independent Cuban-Americans to rally behind the Republican candidate. A New York Times Upshot/Siena College poll released on Oct. 30 had the New York real-estate developer leading Mrs. Clinton 52% to 42% among Cuban-Americans. Some read this as a result of recent Trump efforts in south Florida to make himself a champion of Cuban exiles. But it is more likely a rise in the protest vote.

I have observed the following here in Miami, a city unlike any other in the nation:
1. No Hillary bumper stickers, lawn signs, or buttons. Not one to be seen.
2. Several Trump lawn signs, bumper stickers, t-shirts (including the guy where I voted), red hats, and a few trucks with banners.
3. Dismal turnout for Hillary or Kaine rallies, thousands for Trump.
4. Spanish-language pro-Hillary door-to-door canvassing that is outright deceitful.
5. Hillary’s campaign approach for the Hispanics: Pandering, pure and simple. Issues such as the economy or national security are rarely, if ever, mentioned.
In spite, or even perhaps because, of #4 and #5, the enthusiasm is with Trump.
Spanish-language television is diehard pro Hillary Clinton, incessantly, referring to her in obeisance as “Mrs. Hillary”, while Donald Trump is called “Trump” at best, usually in hostile terms.
As far as the Puerto Ricans siding with Hillary, I’ve yet to find any whi would admit to it. Instead, several Puerto Rican women are appalled that Hillary showed up with gangster moll Alicia Machado. Likewise with Venezuelans who are U.S. citizens.
Speaking of which, Obama’s answer to Gina Rodríguez’s question didn’t get him any points with anyone who has legally undergone the process to become a U.S. citizen. It was the talk at last night’s dinner.
Regarding Hillary’s famous get out the vote efforts, her campaign did not return the calls of one steadfast supporter.
We’ll find out soon enough how it all works out.
