(Video) Clinton slams foundation donors Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait

The Clinton Foundation is political slush fund and favor buying service that is maquerading as a charity.

Saudia Arabia. Qatar, and Kuwait are among those Middle Eastern nations that have bought in.

Two days ago #CrookedHillary got up the nerve to criticize them.

It's nothing but hot air.




Milo's Twitter account briefly suspended

Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos, an openly gay man, saw his Twitter account briefly suspended today.

No one is saying why, but this Tweet probably has something to do with it.
The photo shows a homosexual man being thrown off of a roof.

From that article:
Over 100 people have been killed or maimed at a gay dance club in Orlando by Omar Mateen, a Muslim terrorist. How many more innocent gays need to die before we admit that America, and the world, has an Islam problem?

I don’t mean a "radical Islam" problem or an "extremist Islam problem." Violence is not the extreme in Islam any more: it’s the norm. The public's patience for comments like the one below, from the dimwitted lesbian Sally Kohn, are wearing thin. As for mine, it’s long since run out.
Here is the dimwitted lesbian's Tweet.

(Video) Trump on Obama: "More angry at me than he was at the shooter"

In a North Carolina speech yesterday, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump commented about the Orlando tragedy. "Once again we have seen that political correctness is deadly" he said, "they don't want to talk about the problem."

The problem is radical Islam.

"And I watched President Obama today," he continued, "and he was more angry at me than he was at the shooter--and many people said that."

"One of the folks on television said--'boy has Trump gotten under his skin.'"

June 14--Flag Day USA; June 15--Flag Day Denmark

Flag Day, June 14,is winding down in the United States. But in Denmark it's Flag Day there already.


Flag Day in America commemorates the adoption of the earliest version of the Stars-and-Stripes by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. Denmark's Flag Day marks what's believed to be the first use of the current Danish flag, or Dannebrog, in 1219, when King Valdemar II defeated Estonian forces in the Battle of Lyndanisse. Dannebrog is the world's oldest continuously used national flag.

As far as I can gather Denmark and America have always been friends. The Danes are members of NATO and they've faced the ire of jihadis too--the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons ignited protests by Muslims in the Middle East and Europe and they still present a challenge to free expression.

One more bond. Alexander Hamilton spent part of his youth in the Danish West Indies, which are now the US Virgin Islands.

Happy Flag Day!

(Video) Sessions: Obama and Clinton are in denial

Radical Islam is at war with the West--and of course America.

But Sen. Jeff Session (R-AL) says, correctly, that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are in denial about it.


Trump Autumn is coming. Be ready.

Chiraq: 3 dead and at least 26 dead in Monday shootings

Englewood
Chicago suffered through nearly a weekend's worth of violence in one day on Monday. Three people were shot to death in Chiraq--two of them in Englewood--and another 23 others were wounded.

The media isn't reporting anyone being held for these shootings.


DePaul's left-wing president quits because he wasn't left-wing enough

DePaul University's Student Center
The apology from DePaul University's for his first apology apparently wasn't enough to soothe the leftist loons who hold the real power at the nominally-Catholic college.

From Breitbart:
Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider has announced his plans to step down from his role as the President of DePaul University following pressure from radical left-wing activists in the wake of Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos' recent visit to campus.

Holtschneider came under fire in late May for the University;s handling of a lecture given by Yiannopoulos, which was interrupted and shut down by DePaul students. Despite Yiannopoulos being threatened by one of the protesters, DePaul administration, under Holtschneider's direction, refused to allow security to intervene during the event.

In response to the backlash over the mishandling of the event from students, alumni, and the general public, Holtschneider issued a lukewarm apology but failed to apologize to Yiannopoulos. As a result of the incident, the University’s Facebook page received a barrage of negative reviews and complaints, which dropped the school’s average rating overnight to below two stars out of five.

The apology only caused more problems for Holtschneider, however. The DePaul Black Leadership Coalition, representing black students and faculty members on campus, have put relentless pressure on the President ever since he apologized to the college Republicans, and called for his resignation. After attempting to placate them with a grovelling statement backtracking on his previous apology, Holtschneider has now revealed that he intends to resign.
Good riddance to odious trash. Although I'm certain whoever replaces "Holt" will be even worse.

(Video) Gingrich: Obama, Clinton are willing to risk American lives

Political-correctness just might destroy America.

You did hear about Sunday's Orlando carnage--perpetrated by a jihadist who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, right?

Last night on Hannity, Newt Gingrich said that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are risking American lives as they pursue their PC-agenda.


What about the "Clinton University" scandal

Okay, there really isn't a Clinton University, but there is are some Clinton university scandals.

It's all about Clinton's selling access to the highest bidder.

From the New York Post:
Kudos to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley for asking why the media aren’t asking about the $16.5 million paid to Bill Clinton by Laureate International Universities.

For all the hundreds of stories on Trump University, nothing’s been written about the huge payments over 2010-2014 to the potential future first gentleman to serve as “honorary chancellor” of the vast for-profit education firm.

Nor about the $55 million that Hillary Clinton’s State Department sent the way of groups run by Laureate founder Douglas Becker — who happens to be a major donor to Clinton campaigns and the Clinton Foundation.

One Laureate component, mostly-online Walden University, even faced its own class-action lawsuit. In that, as Turley notes, “Students alleged that they were repeatedly delayed and given added costs as they tried to secure degrees, leaving them deeply in debt.”
