HILLARY IS A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG GIRLS, WOMEN AND CHILD RAPISTS In her interview with The Daily Beast, she recounted the details of her attack in 1975 at age 12 and the consequences it had for both her childhood and adult life. A virgin before the assault, she spent five days afterwards in a coma, months recovering from the beating that accompanied the rape, and over 10 years in therapy.The doctors told her she would probably never be able to have children. Now 52, she has never married or had children. Clinton also wrote that a child psychologist told her that children in early adolescence “tend to exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences,” especially when they come from “disorganized families, such as the complainant.” Is being beaten into a coma Hillary Clinton’s idea of a romanticized sexual experience? “Hillary Clinton took me through Hell,” the victim said. “You are supposed to be for women? You call that [being] for women, what you done to me? And I hear you on tape laughing.” “How many other lies has she told to get where she’s at today? If she becomes president, is she gonna be telling the world the truth? No.” sultanknish What gets me is she's run for President before and we're just now learning this

Obama has learned nothing from Benghazi: The surrounded Americans said they were under ISIS fire from small arms, AK47s and rocket propelled grenades, or RPGs. The contractors had been able to hold the base, but those on the scene reported it was only a matter of time before the ISIS terrorists succeeded in breaking through the perimeter. WND learned from sources that the jihadists closed down escape routes, and the U.S. Air Force was in a stand-down position. U.S. forces were not assisting even with air cover so a private extradition flight could land for a rescue, the sources said. Obama Golfed, Failed to Provide Air Cover for Evacuating 600 Trapped Americans The 600 Americans who were trapped at Balad Air Force base (#balad600) are supposedly safe, at least according to Michael Baker International, but they came out of there under heavy fire and with no support from the US, while Obama partied and fundraised and golfed* at Palm Beach.* According to one California contractor, in Balad, Iraq he and about six others have been trying to get out for most of the week. Mitchell McCann has been in close contact with his brother Michael McCann — a firefighter and private contractor with a company called Sallyport Global. He says there has been no U.S. military support there. So Michael resorted to social media to focus more attention on their plight. He started #Balad600 on Twitter, which is a reference to the number of U.S. contractors reportedly stranded there. Right now, Michael is on his way to Dubai, but it’s not yet clear if all 600 contractors have made it out of the danger zone. @BarackObama How about some military aircraft to get the 600 people stuck in Balad Iraq? #Balad600 #Americans — Michael McCann (@mikemccann123) June 13, 2014 While Obama was doing his Tumblr stunt, he was completely ignoring the plight of those trapped Americans. And it took the Iraqis to get them out. Jerome Corsi has the story. He said 300 in total have been evacuated from Balad, about 60 miles north of Baghdad, and another 100 are still awaiting airlift. He said the Iraqi Air Force is trying to evacuate everyone by midnight local time. The surrounded Americans said they were under ISIS fire from small arms, AK47s and rocket propelled grenades, or RPGs. The contractors had been able to hold the base, but those on the scene reported it was only a matter of time before the ISIS terrorists succeeded in breaking through the perimeter. WND learned from sources that the jihadists closed down escape routes, and the U.S. Air Force was in a stand-down position. U.S. forces were not assisting even with air cover so a private extradition flight could land for a rescue, the sources said. Privately scheduled exit flights had fallen through, sources said, as several private pilots originally scheduled to make the flights quit. The sources contended the U.S. military could provide the necessary air cover to protect C-130s or other air transport craft sufficient to make the evacuation, but so far officials had refused to get involved. Just like Benghazi. This could have been Benghazi x 100, but fortunately there were good people there. Unfortunately the US military is now a prisoner of Obama’s refusal to offend Muslims and disdain for American lives. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/obama-golfed-failed-to-provide-air-cover-for-evacuating-600-trapped-americans/ Michael Baker International (Baker International), is a leading global provider of engineering and consulting services which includes planning, architectural, environmental, construction, program management, and full life cycle support services as well as information technology and communications services and solutions.

Dave Brat’s Democratic Opponent is (virtually) Illiterate, Thinks “Karl Marx” is Spelled with a C The left has spent the better part of a week making fun of Dave Brat. Unfortunately his opponent, Jack Trammell likes writing vampire novels and is about the world’s worst writer. His book, “Sarah’s Last Secret” was published through Mundania Press, home of book covers with badly photoshopped dragons and couples in various states of undress. Books with titles like “Demon Lover” and “Claiming a Princess” and under genres, lists “Werewolves”, “Curvaceous” and “Interracial”. Sadly Jack Trammell’s book is not about a gay demonic curvaceous interracial werewolf. Or as Rachel Maddow calls it, “The Perfect 2016 Democratic Presidential Candidate.” ........ Take this excerpt, “I read Shakespeare and George Eliot on my own, then blew off Harold Nicholson and Carl Marx that were required for a class.” That’s one of the least laughable sentences in Sarah’s Last Secret. Still Trammel does try to awkwardly marry Socialism and a really bad romance novel. “Dana Beech was pretty in a proletariat sort of way” Like many good liberals, Trammell isn’t just economically illiterate. He actually is illiterate. “They both had gained weight, but looked to be in the peak of physical and mental healthiness.” “I sat down on a couch and absently flipped open the book on International Relations I had drug along for amusement.” “Even in the choral foyer behind the alter. ” “This was a final gift from him that magnified his tragedy and took it away all in one feel swoop.” And then there’s the writing itself. I don’t think I’ve read anything this bad ever. “How I wished I could avoid that first apology that would slide out from between her lips, like some kind of bird sharing its dead meal with the prodigal son.” “I felt some inner organ that would be the equivalent of knees begin to buckle.” Who doesn’t love that mental image? “One thing both of my parents accused me of was being melodramatic, and my newly found editor friend, Dana, had accused me of being too cliche.” You don’t say. But if you don’t like Jack Trammell the writer, maybe you’ll like Jack Trammell the poet. what we really have to thank the romans for: litigation 199? what? counting single raindrops as they fall down over 100,ooo new books enter the world marching like spartan soldiers trained to fight illiterate goose-stepping fire ants AND the medium may be the message internet trash 10,ooo new web sites a day new ideas like the dodo bird 199? the age of unreason great literature = great television ezra pound + charles dickens = cnn “at behest of usura” shame on us 199? looking at single raindrops through electron microscopes while THE THIEF IS AT THE DOOR .http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/dave-brats-democratic-opponent-is-illiterate-thinks-karl-marx-is-spelled-with-a-c/#disqus_thread

HOPE AND GENDER CHANGE Medical science is making bold new leaps every day. Not only is there a new medication out that is just like the old medication, except it costs 10 times as much, but the American Medical Association has decided that gender is purely imaginary. "The AMA said transgender people should be able to switch the sex designation on their birth certificates without having sex-change surgery." "Most states make the operations a prerequisite. But the new AMA policy acknowledges that gender identity doesn’t always match a person’s birth anatomy." For thousands of years, human ignorance convinced us that there were two genders. Now the AMA says that gender is imaginary. You can be any gender you want. Change gender every week. Or every day. We’re in Hopechangeistan now. Biology, like economics and military science, are purely imaginary fields. “Science” says so. American Medical Association Says Gender is Imaginary

VIRAL EQUALITY State Sen. Matt McCoy of Des Moines cut off Nick Rhoades’ ankle bracelet at a gathering in Grinnell. The crowd was cheering. People were crying. “It was totally moving and made all the work worthwhile,” said Terry Lowman, who attended the event. “To me, the drama played like Jesus washing the feet of the poor. I was so totally moved.” Rhoades knew he had HIV since 1998 but he described himself as HIV-negative on the social network website where he met A.P. in 2008. In 2009 Rhoades pleaded guilty to criminal transmission of HIV, and while his 25-year prison sentence was later reduced to probation for five years, he still has a felony criminal record and is required to be on the state’s sex-offender registry. In the meantime, advocates of equal rights for gays and lesbians took up his cause I’m not sure how a ruling that frees gay men to expose their sex partners to a deadly virus is a gay rights victory, but clearly I’m not keeping pace with the frenzied rush of liberalism through the gates of madness. If gay marriage was marriage equality, what’s this? Viral equality? Another Gay Rights Victory: Sentence for Man Who Exposed Other Man to HIV Thrown Out .... But gay activists are still unhappy with any legal ban for knowingly infecting someone else. HIV transmission should not be criminalized—ever. HIV criminalization laws do absolutely nothing to prevent the spread of the virus. They stigmatize HIV-positive people, dissuade people from getting tested, and undermine public health goals. They are exceedingly difficult to enforce and based on junk science. They should all be repealed, entirely, immediately. There you have liberalism in all its glory. All of this is certainly progress. But LGBTQ activists should resist the urge to ballyhoo Iowa’s new law as a model for the other 34 states that criminalize HIV exposure or transmission. The revised Iowa law may have removed the bizarrely harsh, unscientific penalty that Rhoades initially faced, which slapped him with a 25-year prison sentence for theoretically exposing a partner to HIV without actually transmitting the virus. But an HIV-positive person who knows he’s positive and transmits the virus to a partner “with reckless disregard” still faces five years in prison. When there’s real progress, then gay men will be able to spread AIDS as much as they like without ever being prosecuted. Disagreeing will be a hate crime… because this is liberalism. frontpagemag.com
