Republicans Quietly End Benghazi Committee!

Blowhard concludes partisan Benghazi committee. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is a worthless partisan hack.

The only muscle Republicans flex in the war on terrorism is their tongues and your taxpayer dollars.

For those who forgot or were born after September 11, 2001 let's remind the readers here. A Republican president was in office when the worst terrorist attack on American soil happened.

The Republican president ignored the memo about a potential attack on America through commercial airplanes. It led to the ongoing Afghanistan war and the concluded but still involved Iraqi war. It was masquarade as the War on Terror.

It cost trillions of dollars and countless lives. Under two presidents we have been in war. Now as the controversial billionaire racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star who will be our first ever Fuhrer of the United States, he will likely take the memo.

But who knows how unpredictable this Donald J. Trump will be?

One thing that's not going carry on is the investigation. The four year investigation into a terrorist attack on a U.S. Consulate and CIA annex in the seaport city of Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans were killed.

Republicans were quick to blame President Barack Obama for the tragedy. The party tried and failed in 2012 when Obama went against Mitt Romney. Obama would win easily. But going against his former Secretary of State and former First Lady of the United States Hillary Clinton, it hung to her like a noose around her neck. While she may have taken the popular vote, she lost the all important electoral college.

If she would have won, Republicans would carry this on for years.

With nearly $10 million used to investigate the September 11, 2012 tragedy, Republicans have gotten all the answers they need.

For the Democrats and progressive agitators, it was the scandal that never went away, until now.

The House Republicans decided that the committee's "findings" were suitable to their cause. They ended the committee and case is closed. Now that Clinton was humiliated by the election loss,

Republicans are now gleefully taunting Democrats by bringing the curtain down on the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

Again, I will not respect Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence as the country's next whatever....!

I will oppose them just like they opposed Barack Obama. I might go after their families. I am not willing to go down the hole but since they attacked Michelle Obama and her daughters, who knows?

I might go after Trump's sons and daughters.

From Russia With Love....

Moscow Nights!

The CIA concluded that the Russian Federation interfered in this election by spreading misinformation about failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The Russian government aided by Wikileaks had infiltrated the private emails of the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta's emails.

Intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails. The reasons were to hurt Clinton and boost their puppet, the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature fuhrer in waiting Donald J. Trump.

The Russian president Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin denies interfering in the election. Putin did say that Trump was a brilliant man who had the will of his people on his side.

In a secret briefing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the inept Majority Leader voiced doubts that Russia had a hand in the hacking of the emails of Democratic leaders. So McConnell doesn't put his trust in the federal agencies that fight terrorism. He only believes the CIA when they can produce yellowcake uranium in Iraq. He doesn't seem to care where Osama bin Laden was. He believed President Barack Obama's predecessor George W. Bush when he said that bin Laden was probably hiding in a cave.
Me not know. Yet he gets intelligence briefings.
Even the fuhrer is denying he got a leg up from his buddy he can see from Sarah Palin's backyard.

Trump said no way. "I don't believe they interfered. it could be Russia. And it could be China. And it could be some guy in his home in New Jersey."

Trump already pissed of the Democratic People's Republic of China by taking a personal call from the president of Taiwan (the Republic of China).

White House and the CIA declined comment on the issue.

Fake news sites with ties to Russia include: The Drudge Report, InfoWars, Prison Planet, ZeroHedge, Daily Trump, BeforeItsNews and Corbett Report are named as websites that traffic propaganda.

John Glenn Passed Away!

Famed astronaut and former U.S. Senator John Glenn passed away.

Sad news to report. The legendary astronaut and former Democratic senator from Ohio, John Glenn passed away. Around that time, he was hospitalized at the Ohio State University James Cancer Center. A specific cause of death wasn't revealed but at the time of his death, the family confirmed he was in dire straits.

Buzz Aldrin is suffering from declining health issues as well. He was in Antarctica when he was getting ill and had to return back to the United States. He was told of the news while in the hospital.

President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump were notified of the passing.

Obama said that "with John's passing, our nation has lost an icon."

"When John Glenn blasted off from Cape Canaveral atop an Atlas rocket in 1962, he lifted the hopes of a nation," Obama said in a statement. "And when his Friendship 7 spacecraft splashed down a few hours later, the first American to orbit the Earth reminded us that with courage and a spirit of discovery there’s no limit to the heights we can reach together."

Trump said in a tweet that the nation had lost "a great pioneer of air and space in John Glenn. He was a hero and inspired generations of future explorers."

Ohio governor John Kasich, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) were notified as well.

Glenn was the last survivor of the Mercury 7. He was selected in 1959 as NASA's first groups of astronauts. He became the first American to orbit the Earth on February 20th, 1962.

He was born on July 18, 1921 in Cambridge, Ohio to Clara and John H. Glenn, Sr. The family moved to New Concord when he was young. His father was involved in the business of plumbing. He didn't want to get into the business, he wanted to be an engineer.

He went to Muskingum College to study there. He dropped out to join the Navy. He was influenced to join after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In World War II, John flew 59 combat missions in the South Pacific as Marine aviator. He flew a further 90 combat missions during the Korean War. He survived skirts with enemy fire and lived to tell about it.

Around that time, he met his love Annie and she always had his back. They would have two children and live in Columbus, Ohio.

Glenn was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1974. Served from 1975 until 1999. He lost his first bid for the Senate from Ohio in 1970, after abandoning a race in 1964 because of a head injury suffered in a fall.

Glenn was briefly considered as a running mate for Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter in 1980. But a ponderous address at the Democratic National Convention – people walked out – caused Carter to remark that Glenn was "the most boring man I ever met."

Glenn sought the Democratic presidential nomination himself in 1984 but was quickly eliminated by eventual nominee Walter Mondale, Carter's vice president. His failure was all the more stinging because he had been touted as an early front-runner.

In the Senate, Glenn was respected as a thoughtful moderate with expertise in defense and foreign policy. But his career's luster was dulled by a Senate investigation of the "Keating Five" – five senators suspected of doing favors for campaign contributor Charles Keating Jr. The panel eventually found Glenn did nothing improper or illegal.

He took a leading role in seeking to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, especially to Pakistan. He was the author of a law that forced the United States to impose sanctions on India and Pakistan in 1998 after both countries conducted nuclear tests.

He also was a staunch advocate of a strong military and took a keen interest in strategic issues. He retired from the Senate in 1999.

Thirty-six years after his maiden space voyage, Glenn became America's first geriatric astronaut on Oct. 29, 1998. He was 77 years old when he blasted off as a mission specialist aboard the shuttle Discovery. He saw it as a blow to stereotyping of the elderly.

"Maybe prior to this flight, we were looked at as old geezers who ought to get out of the way," Glenn said after his nine-day shuttle mission. "Just because you’re up in years some doesn't mean you don't have hopes and dreams and aspirations just as much as younger people do."

Recently the city of Columbus renamed its airport John Glenn Metro Columbus International Airport.

The former was Port Columbus.

The skies are the limit for a legend. He will be sorely missed. Godspeed John Glenn.

Got Any Cheese?

Richmond area CVS called the law on two Black men.

Welcome to Donald Trump's America. He and Mike Pence are responsible for the actions of bigots, racists and millions of idiots in our country. Three men were embarrassed by the behavior of two nighttime clerks at a Richmond area CVS Store.


Rickey Berry and his roommate head to CVS for some sliced cheese. They ask the clerk if they had any Kraft cheese slices. The clerk would say no and walk away. Well for the next 10 minutes or so, they shop around the CVS. They gather their products and head to the register. They see another man in line waiting.

The man was in the line for at least 5 minutes wondering if they were the workers. Rickey told the man that they were shoppers too and the clerk was nearby.

Well another 10 minutes later, Rickey and the other men were starting to get concerned about the clerk.

So he whips out his phone and records the situation. Well a few minutes later a Richmond Metro Police officer shows up wondering if everything is okay. They ask the officer to help find the clerk.

They looked around the store in Richmond, Virginia for another 30 minutes before a cop showed up. The officer then joined in the search for the missing employees.

"He was laughing with us because, like, this is how weird, apocalyptic movies start," Berry told local TV station WRIC.

Eventually, the clerk and another employee were found in the back of the store hiding in a locked room. After making a few calls, the officer told the customers they had to leave.

In one of the videos he recorded, Berry said, "We're being kicked out because they were scared of us and hiding."

"He just told us that we need to leave premises or else we would be arrested for trespassing and that flipped the script on all of us," Berry told [WRIC] Reporter Jonathan Costen. "We had no idea what was going on."

Well the damage was done. The men were upset. If they decide to take action it certainly could lead to lawsuits and negative publicity. 

The workers were placed in the freezer. The were warned to fly right or face cannon firing. They will be retrained on customer service.

Fusion picked up on the story and I found it interesting. I have co-workers who act like this. They got this "hunch" that some of the people coming into our business are "shady".

Defied The Odds!

Donald Trump defied the odds and beat Hillary Clinton.

The people have spoken. It seems like it's going to be Donald Trump as our 45th President of the United States. It's going to be a memorable moment in history. A candidate with no political experience is going to be our president. He is the country's most divisive [person] to be the president.

When the chips were down, Donald Trump got back up and took advantage of the Rust Belt.

Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and New Hampshire has spoken.

The opportunity for the first woman president is not going to happen. Donald Trump and Mike Pence are the president-elect and vice-president elect. 

Congratulations to the Republicans on a great victory. 

VOTE!

Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
It's the day of reckoning.

Republicans and Democrats are heading to the polls today. Election Day is here. The two candidates for president are by far the most polarizing. Hillary Clinton, the scourge of the Republican Party is on the verge of becoming the first woman president.

Clinton has proven that she is capable of handling the problems facing America.

Donald Trump unfortunately has opened deep wounds. His ability to tag the system as rigged will linger throughout the years. If he should lose, Trump will blame Clinton, the media and the politicians who opposed his campaign.

The civil war between Republicans will begin.

I know that Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge and Sean Hannity will tagged as "three time losers".

They're only consolation prize is years of agitating their ignorant base with kookspiracy theories about Clinton and her policies.

It's voting time.

GO VOTE.

VOTE FOR A BETTER FUTURE.

VOTE!

Time to vote.

The day of reckoning. Today is Election Day and tonight one of these two will become the President of the United States. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump will make history.

The path to 270 was a hard fought battle between the two. It was extremely bitter.

This election has divided Americans. Regardless of who wins, the partisan rancor will continue.

It's worth noting that Democrats have history on their side and if they nominated the first Black man and the first female for president, it leaves the Republicans permanently the party of old White men.

Clinton: It's Not Over Until November 9th!

Clinton got the Obamas in her pocket.

The Democratic Party nominated Barack Obama twice. He became the first African American president. He managed to serve two terms as the President of the United States. Now, he's passing the baton to his predecessor.

Today, could be a historical moment in history. The Democratic Party nominated the first woman to represent their party. And today Hillary Clinton could become the first woman president.

In Philadelphia, the president, Clinton and Jon Bon Jovi came together for a rally. They had her husband former president Bill Clinton, daughter Chelsea, First Lady Michelle Obama and the Boss himself Bruce Springsteen aid their rally.
Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen together with Hillary Clinton.
Clinton very upbeat after the FBI distraction. The FBI found no wrongdoing in the Clinton server.

Clinton was nominated in Philadelphia after a brutal primary fight against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). He was the most formidable challenger she ever had. He forced Clinton to take a hard left stance on most issues and is facing increased pressure to keep her word.

Donald Trump and his allies are hoping to pull an upset against Clinton.

Ohio Cop Who Pulled Over John Felton Is Rotten To The Core!

John Felton (right) in 2015. He exposed a dirty tactic that Dayton Police use for unjustified pulls overs.

Last year the city of Dayton, Ohio had to formally apologize to a Detroit area motorist after he was roused by an officer.

The Dayton Police chief Richard Biehl is probably looking forward to loading this guy in the cannon and firing him out of the tent. Randy Betsinger was the guy who caused a great deal of controversy.

He pulled over John Felton in August 2015. Felton who felt that the officer intentionally profiled him whipped out his camera and filmed the pull over.

Betsinger claimed that Felton failed to signal at 100 feet. Felton called the cop out for following him and the officer got hostile and threatened a ticket upon him if he didn't shut up.

"I saw you trailing me the whole time. I did signal! You just needed a reason to pull me over!"

Felton posted the video on social media and it went viral.

What got Betsinger in trouble was the words "direct eye contact" was reason for the pullover.

Well before that encounter, Betsinger was involved in an accident in the same area. He ended up crashing his police cruiser into a mail carrier's van.

Benjamin Jones brought a personal injury lawsuit against Betsinger and the Dayton Police.

The dash camera footage shown by the junk food media shows the officer's cruiser slamming into the back of the U.S. Postal van on May 2015. That would be one of the many mistakes Betsinger created in his years as a police officer. Jones is seeking a five figure sum for pain and suffering.

Betsinger was cited for the accident. Now he may be facing a lawsuit that could fire him out the cannon. The city of Dayton public relations have no comment on the matter.

Here's the videos.



Janet Reno Passed Away!

Janet Reno passed away. She was the first woman appointed as the Attorney General of the United States.

Breaking today is the death of the first woman appointed as the Attorney General of the United States. Janet Reno passed away overnight. She was 78 years old. The complications of Parkinson's Disease led to her death.

Reno is best known for being the toughest female top cop. Bill Clinton appointed Reno to become the Attorney General in 1993. She served throughout Clinton's two terms.

She would be involved in the deadly World Trade Center attack of 1993, the Waco stand off, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing and the Columbine massacre. The Elian Gonzalez affair was a controversial issue.

Born in 1938, Reno grew up in Miami, Florida, with parents who both worked as reporters for Miami newspapers. After attending Cornell University for her undergraduate degree, Reno enrolled at Harvard University for law school in the early 1960s. During her first year, she heard one of her heroes, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, speak at the Sanders Theater.

"She was so wonderful and her voice was still so clear and so magnificent," Reno later recalled in a 1993 speech to the Women's Bar Association. "And I went up to her afterwards, and I said, "Mrs. Roosevelt, I think you are perfectly wonderful." And I will never forget her looking at me and saying, 'Why, thank you, my dear. Those words mean so much to me.' And she seemed to mean it."

When Clinton's administration was rocked by the Whitewater scandal, Reno was the person tasked with appointing special prosecutor Robert Fiske to lead the probe in 1994.

The Clintons were never charged with criminal wrongdoing.

In Clinton's second term -- months before his impeachment -- the Republican-controlled House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted to cite Reno for contempt of Congress for failing to hand over key memos.

Reno eventually provided those documents. Congress never moved forward with a vote on the matter.

News hits the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign today knowing that she will not be indicted in the email server.

NJ Woman Suffered Brain Damage From Knuckle Style Chili!

A New Jersey woman fighting for her life after she was served knuckle style chili,

The law is looking for the man who gave a young woman knuckle style chili. He served her hard and now she's fighting for her life.

Emily Rand, a 19 year old woman was served by a man near a party on Rutgers University campus. He served her after an altercation near a fraternity house.

Police said they don't know if Rand was a student at Rutgers.

The attack was recorded on a phone and it was posted on social media. The short clip shows Rand serving a five finger roll. But the man gave her a taste of the knuckle style chill and it laid her out.
The law is looking for the man who served young woman a knuckle style chili.
She was not moving. The person who filmed it didn't bother trying to stop the guy or aid her.

The guy disappears into the nightlife. He's described as having a shorter build and was wearing a gray sweatshirt and a black hat. He may bury evidence or change appearance.

Her aunt Lisa Egan turns to social media to plead to those there to rat the attack out. Emily is on a ventilator and "she's not getting better or responding to treatment."

"This is not a joke! Please pray she makes a full recovery and they catch the scumbag who did this to her," said Egan on Facebook.

Her friend made the most passionate plea for help.







New Brunswick and Rutgers Campus Police are searching for the attacker and stepped up patrol around the campus.

Mind you if this suspect was a shade darker, bet you money, this would be talked about by conservative agitators.

Alt-right figures like the notorious racial arsonist Colin Flaherty would devote his attention to this and drive the narrative about the so-called "Knockout Game."

Trump SuperPac Rips Off The Simpsons!

Republican SuperPac rehashes old memories. Last ditch effort to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming the first female president.

They're practically giving up on trying to win fairly. The Trump campaign and its allies are now trying to rehash the past to stop Hillary Clinton's momentum. This Future45 SuperPac is taking a satirical spin on the Clinton "scandals". The ad is trying to give the impression that former president Bill Clinton's past is Hillary Clinton's future.

This animated clip is being played in Ohio, Florida, Nevada and North Carolina. It's called "Moving Vans" and it has the trademark "The Simpsons" intro. 

This ad might get a cease and desist order from 21st Century Fox and The Simpsons creator Matt Groening.

As expected, the timing is completely off. The FBI said that Clinton is not going to be indicted. 

Sheldon Adelson and Ken Griffin are pouring in last minute funding into the Trump campaign.

They are hoping to scare Republicans out to vote. 

The October Surprise turns out to be another dud for Republicans. And on Tuesday, history is going to be made. 

Will we hear President-elect Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton or  President-elect Donald John Trump?

Clinton has a 60% Chance of WINNING the election.

Trump's Black Outreach!

White motorist screams at a Black motorist. He calls him a NIGGER. 

Shaun King, writer for the New York Daily News is a prominent figure in the #BlackLivesMatter movement. He retweeted this disturbing video of a Memphis man calling a Black motorist a NIGGER.

The man is a Trump supporter and proud of it. He went into this rampage over how Black people are NIGGERS because they're on whatever stereotype he pulled out his ass. He slammed Black Lives Matter for not being concerned about Black on whatever crime.

He said that he doesn't give a fuck about being on social media. So I guess he'll rethink that decision once they find him.




This video went viral and social media is trying to find him. They want to get him fired from his job.

This incident started over the guy getting cut off by the Black motorist. The White motorist was with his girl and she warned him to stop acting out. The guy was totally inappropriate.

At the end of the video the Black motorist said "vote". He believes that Donald Trump's supporters are in the words of Hillary Clinton are deplorable.

No Charge!

Clinton is feeling like a winner. Conservatives are outraged.

Can we finally put to rest those goddamn emails?

Confirmed. The FBI stands firm in not indicting Hillary Clinton on the emails being held on a private server.

Two weeks since the bombshell, Donald Trump and his allies have push the notion that Clinton would be indicted for criminal acts. It turns out that Clinton followed the rules and is once again cleared of any criminal acts.

FBI director James Comey who is facing backlash for dropping a bombshell close to the election.

The FBI has cleared Clinton in the ongoing issue facing Huma Abedin's estranged husband Anthony Weiner. The disgraced congressman is accused of sending inappropriate sexting pictures to a minor.

He sought sexual treatment and is cooperating with the FBI.

Clinton's lead shrunk because of this FBI memo to Congress. Clinton blames Republicans and their obsession with issues that aren't important in this election.

Clinton's odds of winning the U.S. presidential election remain at 60% at present time.

Trump. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and RNC chief Reince Priebus condemn the decision and still believe that Clinton committed criminal acts.

Nate Silver: Your Guess Is Good As Mine!

Don't expect a blowout for Clinton says Nate Silver.

Going into the last three days of the presidential election. Hillary Clinton has a 60% chance at winning the presidency. A big drop from 85%. Mainly due to James Comey's FBI memo to Republicans over them goddamn emails.

Clinton is confident. She built a good ground game with the GOTV (get out to vote).

Florida, Nevada, Ohio, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Iowa are up for grabs and the Republican nominee Donald Trump needs these states to win the White House.

Nate Silver, the genius of stats is stomped by his own calculations. Fivethirtyeight.com is the best indicator of who's likely going to be president. Today, he's says that it's anybody's game and the Democrats are panicking.

I conclude that Donald Trump has 40% chance at winning the presidency. It's driven the narrative that Trump is anchoring the emails around Hillary Clinton's neck. Also Republicans who were on the fence are "coming home" as Mike Pence puts it.

Silver is being criticized by Huffington Post editor in chief Ryan Grim for allegedly "putting the thumb on the scales."

It sparked a brief feud between the two.

Silver is right. The Democrats should take nothing for granted. It's still toss up. Clinton doesn't need Ohio and Florida to win. She needs to hold on to states she already carrying.

So far Trump has studied the trends and his campaign felt an opportunity is ahead in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Minnesota.

Trump With A Side Yams!

Trump goes to the sides courtesy of the Secret Service.

The Secret Service had to rush Donald Trump off stage during a campaign stop in Reno.

A scuffle happened in the audience as a White male with a hoodie tried to approach the stage where Trump was doing his stump speech. The Republican nominee was quickly rushed off stage.

Trump was in the middle of the stump speech and he had his hand over his eyes to block a glare from the stage lights. Soon after the Secret Service agents went hard and grabbed him and escorted him off the stage. Trump took a duck down and left the stage.

The crowd was frightened and angry at the guy who interrupted the event. The man was quickly caught and detained.

Trump returned to the stage and praised the Secret Service.

"I would like to thank the United States Secret Service and the law enforcement resources in Reno and the state of Nevada for their fast and professional response. I also want to thank the many thousands of people present for their unwavering and unbelievable support. Nothing will stop us! We will make America great.

This would be the second time the Secret Service got involved. In Dayton, Ohio, a man tried to rush the stage and it really rattled Trump.



Jay and Bey On The Hill!

Jigga and Queen Bey rock with Hillary Clinton. 

Celebrity firepower is in effect. Conservatives are outraged by Hollywood's 2:1 support of the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

They're outraged over the guests who came to perform in Ohio for Clinton.

Jay-Z came to Cleveland yesterday for a special performance. The media mogul performed a free show for the Clinton presidential campaign. He even brought his wife Queen Bey to the show. The concert was a get out to vote rally for young and Black voters.

"I don't have any ill will toward [Donald Trump], but his conversation is divisive...he cannot be our president."

Clinton is trailing Trump in Ohio by 3 points. It's a last ditch effort to get out to vote.

Ohio is the crucial swing state for Republicans and Democrats alike. No Republican ever won the White House without carrying the Buckeye state. Ohio's 18 electoral votes are necessary for Trump, not so much for Clinton.

Donald Trump's allies were none to happy about Jigga's performance. They believe that Jay and Bey are anti-cop, anti-White, elitists and of course, "UPPITY NIGGERS".

This week, Republican country music fans were outraged over Queen Bey's performance at the Country Music Awards. They were blasting the CMAs for allowing this "thug" on the stage.

CMAs also faced scrutiny over allegedly scrubbing the footage of the concert.

Trump's Black support is currently at 5% by most accounts. He has the Omarosa, Diamond & Silk, Wisconsin sheriff David Clarke, Kevin Jackson, Don King, Mike Tyson and Dennis Rodman's support.

One Black Trumper is not happy about this.

Darrell Scott, a Cleveland Heights pastor who supports Trump blasted the decision to host Jay.

He called the media mogul a drug pusher and a slime to the Black community. Scott hosted Trump and Sean "Softball" Hannity for a town hall on Black issues. The audience was packed with White folks.

Lou Dobbs claimed that Clinton allow Jay perform his songs with the N-word.

Trump says he doesn't care. He could pull massive crowds without Jay-Z and Beyonce or whoever else she pulls in.

His performance at the Cleveland State University was big.

Clinton also dismissed the criticism from the right. She basically said that she's got a better ground game in courting voters.

The FBI Plays Taps!

FBI director James Comey under fire for releasing Clinton memo close to election.

President Barack Obama has weigh in on the controversy with Hillary Clinton's emails. He basically shrugged off the controversy and somewhat defended his handpicked FBI director's decision. He did say James Comey's that "timing" was off but it's not going to derail Clinton.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is doing an investigation on itself after revelations of insider leaks were made public. Who got the information about the Comey letter?

You know the right has telephoned the narrative that an indictment is "LIKELY".

Fox News host Bret Baier said that the FBI is seriously considering an indictment according to two sources. This has something to do with The Clinton Foundation, a charity organization the right has targeted for allegedly being a "play for pay" syndicate. The foundation became a focus of conservative agitation for its ties to nations that harbor terrorism.

The FBI involvement in the foundation and email server set off a week of speculation. Donald Trump using this as a weapon against Hillary Clinton. The Clinton campaign and Democrats are starting to get a tad bit nervous about the election. They're cautiously optimistic but aren't taking anything for granted.

Baier would retract the claim after the junk food media went to the FBI to ask for information about any possible indictment. The FBI said that the investigation is ongoing but no word of indictment at this moment.

On top of that, Ed Klein claims that conservative FBI agents threatened to walk because of the Department of Justice's refusal to indict Clinton or her aides for the email server. James Comey, the FBI director is facing heat from Democrats for releasing this memo to the Republicans in the final weeks of the election.
Slimeball tells Fox News that he was tipped by the FBI about looking into the Clinton Foundation and the server.
The FBI memo was hinted by former mayor Rudy Giuliani. He was on Fox News bragging about some damaging information about Clinton. He was almost giddy about this. Giuliani admits that the Trump campaign had advance warning from the FBI. He even said. "darn right, he got the memo."

Now the FBI is working on plugging the leaks. Matter of fact, they're going to do a sweep.

The FBI is under fire for some of its members leaking information to the junk food media (i.e. Fox).

Of course, they're now telling Americans to be vigilant on Election Day. The al-Qaeda group is plotting suicide bombers to interrupt polling centers near commercial districts.

Golden Harvest!

On his way out, he will leave unemployment rate at the lowest.

President Barack Obama's final two months are here. The first African American president leaves the White House on January 20th, 2017. On his way out, he may leave his predecessor with the lowest unemployment rate in American history.

The job numbers for October are out. It nets 161,000 jobs, 73-months of job growth. It's amazing.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 161,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said on Friday. August and September data was revised to show 44,000 more jobs created than previously reported.

The unemployment rate fell one-tenth of a percentage point to 4.9 percent, in part as people dropped out the labor force.

The closely watched employment report was published four days before the Nov. 8 presidential election. It came on the heels of data last week showing an acceleration in economic growth in the third quarter. But economists see little impact from the report on an increasingly bitter and divisive campaign.

“There is so much noise out there right now, everyone is screaming from the rooftops. I just don’t know that any particular data point is going to have a great bearing on the election, in and of itself,” said Sam Bullard, senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Though the U.S. central bank is expected to increase borrowing costs next month, that decision will likely depend on the outcome of Tuesday’s election. The tight race between Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump has rattled financial markets.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls increasing by 175,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate falling one-tenth of a percentage point to 4.9 percent.

The Fed on Wednesday left interest rates unchanged but said its monetary policy-setting committee “judges that the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has continued to strengthen.” It lifted its benchmark overnight interest rate last December for the first time in nearly a decade.

“The election could still derail the Fed’s plans, particularly if a very close result led to one or both candidates contesting it via the courts,” said Paul Ashworth, chief economist at Capital Economics in Toronto.

TREND HAS SLOWED

The trend in employment growth has slowed as the labor market nears full employment and the economy’s recovery from the 2007-09 recession shows signs of aging.

Employment growth so far this year has averaged 181,000 jobs per month, down from an average gain of 229,000 per month in 2015. Still, the monthly job gains are more than enough to absorb new entrants into the labor market.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said the economy needs to create just under 100,000 jobs a month to keep up with growth in the work-age population.

The prospects of an interest rate hike next month were also bolstered by a solid rise in wages. Average hourly earnings increased 10 cents or 0.4 percent in October after advancing 0.3 percent in September.

The lift from a calendar quirk pushed the year-on-year increase to 2.8 percent, the biggest gain since June 2009, from 2.6 percent in September. The Fed on Wednesday struck a fairly upbeat note on inflation, saying price pressures had “increased somewhat since earlier this year.”

Despite the labor market nearing full employment, wage growth has been moderate. Economists blame this on a low labor force participation rate.

The participation rate, or the share of working-age Americans who are employed or at least looking for a job, fell 0.1 percentage point to 62.8 percent last month, not too far from multi-decade lows, in part reflecting demographic changes.

The solid payrolls gain accompanied by the surge in wages could support consumer spending heading into the holiday season, and in turn keep the economy on a relatively higher growth path.

While the household survey showed a increase in the number of people saying they could not get to work because of bad weather, the department said it was difficult to assess the impact of Hurricane Matthew on job growth last month. The storm lashed the east coast of the country last month, causing extensive flooding. The average workweek held steady at 34.4 hours.

Manufacturing employment fell 9,000 last month, falling for a third straight month. Construction payrolls increased 11,000, rising for a second straight month.

Retail sector employment surprising fell 1,100 jobs, despite expectations of a jump in early holiday season hiring.

Professional and business services payrolls rose 43,000.

Temporary-help jobs, a harbinger for future hiring, increased 6,400. Government employment rose by 19,000 jobs.

Now The Vote Suppression Attempts!

Vote early at your local precinct. 

The alt right decided to play dirty bull in an attempt to disenfranchise voters in North Carolina and Florida. Social media pointed a posting that allegedly comes from the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign.

It says that you can skip the lines and vote by text.

No you can't.

Here's two other versions.
Deliberate attempt at discouraging Black vote.
There's no such thing as voting by text message and for those who are willing to push this, this is the signs of desperation.

The ads circulated on Twitter recently would have you believe otherwise.

Lifting imagery directly from Hillary Clinton's campaign materials, the ads encourage supporters of the Democratic nominee to "vote early" and "vote from home" by texting their candidate's name to a five-digit number.

"Save time. Avoid the line," one reads.

"Vote early. Text 'Hillary' to 59925," says another.

At least four such ads began making rounds on social media this week, each containing the Clinton campaign's "H" logo and a line saying they were "paid for by Hillary for President." Some featured images of Clinton that appear to be pulled from actual campaign marketing materials, while others showed a black woman and a Hispanic woman, in what may be an attempt to dupe to minority voters specifically. One was written entirely in Spanish.

We're approaching the final days of this god awful presidential election. Donald Trump is closing in on Hillary Clinton. The polls are "tightening" and Clinton is slipping in Ohio, Florida and North Carolina.

It's up to the American voter to put either the former first lady or the media mogul in the White House.
