**Written by Doug Powers Just a couple months ago, Hillary Clinton was talking about the awesomeness of Obamacare and how she's looking forward to making the law even more all-encompassing: Hillary's even reminded everybody that she thought of Obamacare first: Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is out with a new defense of her healthcare record — rival Bernie Sanders may have helped write ObamaCare, but it was her idea first. “It was called HillaryCare before it was called Ob...

**Written by Doug Powers Hillary Clinton really had a friend in James Comey, not to mention the head of the DOJ her husband met with at the Phoenix airport during the investigation: Immunity deals for two top Hillary Clinton aides included a side arrangement obliging the FBI to destroy their laptops after reviewing the devices, House Judiciary Committee sources told Fox News on Monday. Sources said the arrangement with former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather S...

**Written by Doug Powers Sunday open thread time! Have at it. Just one “starter” topic today, because the New York Times has come back to the future with a bombshell: A Apparently Donald Trump's 1995 tax forms were obtained, and the New York Times is using one year of returns to help spread the word that it's possible Trump didn't pay any federal taxes for the ensuing nearly two decades: Donald J. Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, a tax deduction so substantial...

As you know, Hillary's **Written by Doug Powers Pass the popcorn: Hillary Clinton suggested in February that many of the young people who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the Democratic primary were unemployed political neophytes who still lived with their parents, according to new audio released this week. “Some are new to politics completely. They're children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents' basement. They feel they got their education and the jobs that...

We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government. Government should be transparent.

**Written by Doug Powers Chelsea Clinton has earned this month's honor because of her tremendous sacrifices for the cause of lowering fossil fuel emissions by torching a whole lot of jet fuel in the name of “clean energy” promotion: Chelsea Clinton opted to travel to a “clean energy” roundtable in Asheville, North Carolina on Wednesday afternoon in a private jet to campaign on behalf of her mother Hillary Clinton. Clinton first attended two events in Greenville, North Carolina, stopping by a ca...

**Written by Doug Powers “There is a time to laugh and a time not to laugh, and this is not one of them.” – Inspector Clouseau ***** At the New York Post, Paul Sperry lays out a long and damning trail about a James Comey-led FBI “investigation” of Hillary Clinton that was either botched or willfully glossed over. Here's just part of it: It's bad enough that FBI Director James Comey agreed to pass out immunity deals like candy to material witnesses and potential targets of his investigation into ...

**Written by Doug Powers Congress overrode an Obama veto for the first time, with the Senate voting 97-1 and the House voting 348-77 to go over the president's head and make the 9/11 bill a law. Harry Reid was the one senator who sided with Obama, probably mostly because he's not running for re-election anyway. But at least it'll give him something to complain about in his remaining Senate days while he swats at imaginary flies with faces that look just like Charles and Fred Koch. Here's what s...

Hillary, Interrupted by Michelle MalkinCreators Syndicate Copyright 2016 Whatever happened to “I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar”? Whither “Girl Power”? When did Rosie the Riveter's “We Can Do It!” give way to Hillary the Haranguer's “We Can't Handle It”? It's 2016, and the Democrats' feminist heroine running for commander in chief is whinnying about being — wait for it — interrupted. Quick! Prepare a complaint to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. Poor, frag...

**Written by Doug Powers The writers of the original Batman TV show couldn't have come up with more blatantly obvious and self-incriminating villains than this bunch: CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook on Sunday to answer why an IT worker who maintained Clinton's private email server referred to a 60-day email-retention policy as a “Clinton cover-up operation.” In an interview on “State of the Union,” Tapper asked why an employee of Platte River, which hosted Clinto...

**Written by Doug Powers The debate open thread is reaching the “fill to here” line with comments, so another area for post-debate forensics is in order. The evening got off to a friendly enough start: As for the debate itself, there were three different times I laughed out loud, all courtesy of Hillary Clinton. First up: She wondered whether Trump isn't as rich as he says, does not contribute as much to charity as he says, or possibly owes money to Wall Street and foreign banks. “It must b...

**Written by Doug Powers Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will finally debate at Hofstra University, and it starts at 9 p.m. ET. Hillary's team is tasked with the unenviable chore of getting her through the 90 minute debate without a coughing fit or worse, and Team Trump is putting a last-minute application of Flex Seal on his hair. It's on! The Clinton campaign has been pushing the narrative that the moderator (NBC News' Lester Holt) will need to help “fact check” Trump. The media, as CNN demon...

**Written by Doug Powers Here's an open thread for Sunday while I recover from too many hot dogs at the Tigers game yesterday, not to mention the 9th inning loss. A few starters… first up: Tomorrow night's debate. President Obama gave Hillary Clinton some laughable advice: President Barack Obama wants Hillary Clinton to “be yourself and explain what motivates you” when she takes the stage Monday night for her first presidential debate. Hey Mr. President, Hillary would be happy to explain what mo...

**Written by Doug Powers It was Friday night, which meant that the FBI unloaded another batch of documents related to the Hillary Clinton investigation. Nothing to see here, other than Clinton was communicating with Obama via her unsecured server, which in and of itself isn't exactly breaking news. However, we do now know that the White House was thwarting any potentially hostile actors by having the president use a fake name: President Barack Obama used a pseudonym in email communications with ...

**Written by Doug Powers Bill and Hillary Clinton have reportedly purchased a third home, which is right next door to their Chappaqua place. The new house is a large, two story colonial with enough space to comfortably house up to eight mistresses: Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is seeking a job that comes with a house, but she and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, have many options if the White House thing doesn't work out. The couple have purchased a home next door ...

**Written by Doug Powers Hillary Clinton delivered a video address to a labor union this week that was sure to win them over, provided they like odd rantings with parts that sound more like a recruitment video outtake from Heaven's Gate. Just before the 10-second mark, plug your ears: Aides are currently trying to convince Hillary to double her dosage of dysprosody meds, but she's fighting them. Team Clinton has obviously decided to pivot to the “haunt their dreams” stage of the campaign: Th...

**Written by Doug Powers Rest easy, Charlotte, N.C. residents, because the Divider-in-Chief has dispatched a response team tasked with extinguishing the literal and metaphorical fires in that city by dousing the area with gasoline if necessary: The Obama administration's Justice Department will send conflict resolution experts to Charlotte, N.C., to try to quell the violent unrest over the death of Keith Lamont Scott, a black man who was shot by police Tuesday afternoon. A Justice Department spo...

**Written by Doug Powers It's once again “phony scandal” discussion time: Also keep in mind that while you read this that Lois “Take 5” Lerner is still enjoying a cushy, taxpayer-funded retirement… Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the issue of possible impeachment of John Koskinen, the IRS commissioner. Koskinen admitted that previous testimony he gave to Congress wasn't factual, insinuating that he was misled by others. On his watch, “422 tapes containing as many as ...

**Written by Doug Powers Here's yet another item to toss on the pile of Clinton-related hypocrisy that has now grown so high it makes Mt. Everest look like an anthill. The wind-up: And the pitch: Hedge fund moguls are pouring stunning amounts of cash into the main super-PAC supporting Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. George Soros and Donald Sussman, liberal financiers based in New York, have now given at least $10.5 million each to Priorities USA, an outside group that has already rese...

Hey, UN Corruptocrats: Spare Us Refugee Sanctimony by Michelle MalkinCreators Syndicate Copyright 2016 Another United Nations summit in New York. Another finger-wagging extravaganza. Another useless “historic declaration” (nonbinding, of course) to save the world (by holding another summit … in two years). As America reels from the latest terrorist attacks by Muslim refugees and immigrants in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota, the world's global do-gooders filled the Big Apple with their humani...
