Hillary Suffers ‘Medical Episode’ at 9/11 Ceremony, Dr. Says She Has Pneumonia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hillary Clinton abruptly left today’s 9/11 commemoration in New York City after suffering what Fox News described as a “medical episode.”

A video available on Twitter appears to show the moment, confirming what law enforcement told Rick Leventhal. After leaving the ceremony, the Democratic presidential nominee is waiting for her van. The van pulls up. As she starts forward, her knees buckle, she spasms and appears to faint, and is maneuvered by her security into the van.

The van left and the pool reporters assigned to Clinton were prevented from leaving the media area to follow her. For over an hour, the campaign refused to say where the candidate was or her condition.

Finally, Clinton’s spokesman Nick Merrill released a statement saying, “During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better.”

It was in the low 80s when the incident occurred.

She left Chelsea’s apartment shortly before noon, declaring “I’m feeling great,” and remarking “It’s a beautiful day in New York.”

Suffering her second health-related incident in a week — followed by secrecy and the admission that Clinton has pneumonia — has brought questions about the medical well-being of the presidential front-runner out from speculation and into legitimate debate.

Just four days ago, in the wake of Clinton’s Labor Day coughing fit, The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza blasted those questioning the candidate’s health, asking “Can we just stop talking about Hillary Clinton’s health now?” However, Cillizza walked back his statements on Sunday noting that he originally “wrote dismissively” of allegations that Clinton was “hiding some sort of serious illness.” He continued, saying:

Coughing, I wrote, is simply not evidence enough of any sort of major illness that Clinton is assumed to be hiding. Neither, of course, is feeling “overheated.” But those two things happening within six days of each other to a candidate who is 68 years old makes talk of Clinton’s health no longer just the stuff of conspiracy theorists.

Cillizza may want to be careful speculating about Clinton’s health. Former CNN show host Drew Pinsky of Dr. Drew On Call had his show cancelled by the network after questioning Clinton’s health on a radio interview. He’s not alone either. David Seamon, a former Huffington Post contributor, said in late August that he was fired “without warning” after he included a video raising the issue of Clinton’s health in one of his articles.

After Sunday’s incident, the Clinton campaign took to warning reporters not to press the issue, and — even after Fox News broke the story — the Twitter accounts of most major American news organizations initially remained silent about Clinton’s abrupt, mysterious departure.

The media is not so quiet now. Outlets such as CNN, ABC and CNBC have followed Fox’s early lead in posting video and reports on Clinton’s abrupt departure.”

Now, with the video of Hillary’s collapse, voters will not only be talking about Hillary’s health, but likely praying for it. (For more from the author of “Hillary Suffers ‘Medical Episode’ at 9/11 Ceremony, Dr. Says She Has Pneumonia” please click HERE)

Bill Clinton Slams ‘Make America Great Again’ as Racist, but He Himself Used It

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan is code for moving white Southerners up the economic scale, and others down it, according to former U.S. President Bill Clinton. The curious thing is that Clinton himself used the term repeatedly while campaigning for president 25 years ago, and then again more recently.

“I’m actually old enough to remember the good old days, and they weren’t all that good in many ways,” Clinton told a supportive crowd. “That message where ‘I’ll give you America great again’ is if you’re a white Southerner, you know exactly what it means, don’t you?”

“What it means is ‘I’ll give you an economy you had 50 years ago, and I’ll move you back up on the social totem pole and other people down,’” he said.

But then Fox News did some digging. It noted Clinton’s accusation against Trump, and then created a video montage showing Clinton using the term “Make America Great Again” when launching his successful first bid for president 25 years ago. Clinton also used it in an ad for his wife — then-Senator Hillary Clinton, now the Democratic presidential nominee — in 2008.

Republicans are frequently accused of racism and bigotry for their policies. Trump has faced this charge more frequently than most, as he has made many derogatory comments about illegal immigrants from Mexico and proposed a ban on all Muslim immigrants. Trump has retreated from the full ban, and has predicted that a sizable percentage of Hispanic voters will back his candidacy in November even though polls aren’t yet reflecting this.

Trump also is reaching out to black Americans, noting that despite decades of party loyalty to Democrats, their demographic in the U.S. suffers from high unemployment, high homicide rates in the inner city, and other challenges. And he blames wrongheaded Democratic policies. (For more from the author of “Bill Clinton Slams ‘Make America Great Again’ as Racist, but He Himself Used It” please click HERE)

HILLARY’S ROMNEY MOMENT: More Than 47% of Trump Supporters Are Scum, According to Your Abuela

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hillary Clinton is world-renowned as a “habitual and serial liar”. She’s also an exteremely arrogant woman who will continue Barack Obama’s divisive and hateful behavior, only she won’t be as charming about it. She appears nasty and aloof because that is who she is. And this latest video confirms it.

The sad thing is half the country is just fine with this. Hillary could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and it wouldn’t matter.

Her arrogance is why she had a personal server and continues to lie about it. The American people are beneath her.

At a New York fundraiser, she demonized “half” of Trump’s supporters as “baskets of deplorables” who are “racists, sexists, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it”. The rest are just “baskets” of pathetic people who think “the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them.”

She called Trump followers “irredeemable”.

How dare she characterize people that way — half are haters and the other half are childlike idiots That is so insulting and condescending, words hardly can describe it. She has given it new meaning.

The only thing that is deplorable is her arrogance. It’s breathtaking.

We no longer have immigration, we have a welcomed invasion of illegal immigrants and unvetted asylum seekers but if we complain, we’re xenophobes and racists. If we want a private bathroom, we’re homophobes, and if we say a thing about a woman, we’re sexists. Expect to hear a lot of that last accusation if she wins the presidency.

She tried to walk it back today, saying she was “grossly generalistic”. You simply can’t take something like that back.

Look at this next brief clip. The first is Hillary behaving incredibly arrogant towards a congressman. She failed to properly supervise her embassies, particularly a most endangered one and she’s arrogant about it. In the next, she throws her support behind Soros’s anti-police, deceitful and violent hate group, Black Lives Matter – calls them “dignified”.

This is “deplorable” for traditional Americans who are being disposed and replaced. (For more from the author of “HILLARY’S ROMNEY MOMENT: More Than 47% of Trump Supporters Are Scum, According to Your Abuela” please click HERE)

Steven Crowder Sticks It to YouTube’s Political Correctness in ‘Most Offensive Video Ever’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Steven Crowder is at it again, pushing boundaries with what he declares is the “most offensive video ever.”

YouTube has been annoying content creators with their new community standards — demonetizing videos that it determines to contain “graphic content” or is otherwise “offensive.”

If you’re someone who makes money from ads on your YouTube videos, their excessive politically correct standards can really cut into your livelihood.

So in response, Crowder played fast and loose with the new rules in his latest video. Check it out:

(Don’t skip the “ad”. There is no ad. You’ll fall for the joke like I did.)

How quick until YouTube demonetizes this? This video is like when you’re in fourth grade, and you played the game of tipping your chair back. You remember that? And your teacher told you if you fell, you’d get a detention? New game, right? How close to the floor can you tip?

That’s exactly what we did here. Because what’s offensive to one is comedy to the other. Also, let’s just say whatever we want to say and let the market decide, yeah?

Hilarious.

Be sure to head over to Louder with Crowder and check out Steven’s latest podcast for his full explanation on what YouTube is doing and why it’s wrong. (For more from the author of “Steven Crowder Sticks It to YouTube’s Political Correctness in ‘Most Offensive Video Ever'” please click HERE)

‘Shut It Down!’: Cameraman Ordered to Kill Positive Trump Footage

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Donald Trump was enjoying a rare moment of positive media coverage on CNN, Fox and other networks Saturday as a black Christian bishop from Detroit was bestowing his blessing with a powerful symbolism that included the laying on of a Jewish tallit or prayer shawl.

“There are going to be some times in your life that you’re gonna feel forsaken,” Bishop Wayne Jackson told Trump. “You’re gonna feel down. But the anointing is going to lift you up. I prayed over this prayer shawl and I fasted over it. And I wanna just put this on you … .”

The bishop placed the prayer shawl over Trump’s shoulders, then gave him a Jewish Heritage Bible and instructed him, when things are going badly, to read Mark 9:23 “If you can believe … .”

That’s when a voice can be heard saying, “Shut it down!” . . .

After some brief resistance from the cameraman, the order to “shut it down” persists and the feed is suddenly dropped. The screen went to a “blackout.” (Read more from “‘Shut It Down!’: Cameraman Ordered to Kill Positive Trump Footage” HERE)

VIDEO: Nine-Year Old Boy Says New Hands Make His Life ‘Complete’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Zion Harvey is nine years old. Like most boys his age, he enjoys baseball and football, does push-ups and loves his mother.

Unlike every other child his age, however, Harvey’s hands belonged to someone else until last year.

According to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s website, Harvey lost his hands at the age of two, thanks to a life-threatening infection. Doctors were forced to amputate “his legs below the knee,” as well, and at the age of four his damaged kidneys were replaced with one from his mother, Pattie Ray.

Harvey now has full use of his legs, and thanks to prosthetics, and in NBC’s video above can be seen with a football, swinging a bat and telling his mother how much he loves her.

“When I got my hands, it’s like, here’s the piece of my life that was missing. Now it’s here. Now my life is complete,” said Harvey, who told his mother in 2015 that “if [the hand surgery] gets messed up, I don’t care, because I have my family.”

“Without my mom, I would not be here right now,” Harvey, who is the first child to ever receive hand transplants, told NBC.

More of Harvey’s amazing story is here, via NBC. (For more from the author of “VIDEO: Nine-Year Old Boy Says New Hands Make His Life ‘Complete'” please click HERE)

Barber Has Surprising Reaction When Trump’s Running Mate Stops in for a Haircut

/0 Comments/in , /by

During a tour through Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s running mate, made a quick stop for a haircut in Norristown.

Pence was surrounded by reporters and camera crews as he entered Henry Jones’ barbershop.

Yet despite the media fanfare surrounding the incident, the barber had no idea he was cutting the hair of such a high-profile figure.

After Jones finished cutting Pence’s hair, he shook the governor’s hand and said, “Your name was?”

“Mike Pence,” he replied. “I’m the governor of the state of Indiana, and I’m running for vice president of the United States.”

“Go ahead, man. Whoa,” replied the 74-year-old barber with a chuckle. “Vice president? Oh boy.”

“We were just in town doing a rally, campaigning, and heard you were the place to come for a haircut,” said Pence. “You’re very gracious.”

Throughout the haircut, Pence and the elderly barber discussed several issues, including the barber’s 40 years of experience cutting hair, the places Pence frequents in Indiana for his regular haircuts, sports and even married life.

Surprisingly, the one issue Pence did not discuss on the campaign stop was the 2016 election.

“Give me a handshake again,” said Jones toward the end of the event. “This is great. Woo! This is history over here, I’m telling you.”

“We’re hoping to make some history,” replied Pence, before taking a picture with the man and another member of his campaign.

Pence was visiting Pennsylvania on Tuesday while Trump was in Texas for a live town hall with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. (For more from the author of “Barber Has Surprising Reaction When Trump’s Running Mate Stops in for a Haircut” please click HERE)

DOJ Releases Video That Teaches Cops How to Interact With Transgender People

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice released a new police training video Thursday that demonstrates how to have “respectful, professional, and safe” interactions with members of the transgender community.

The 12-minute video was created with the goal of improving relations between law enforcement and the LGBT community in the hope of reducing cases of alleged discrimination. It presents a range of scenarios that show how officers should respond when they encounter an individual who identifies as transgender.

“When someone’s name or gender on a license is different than what you expect, how do you react? Is this person committing identify theft? Are they a fugitive? Possibly they are just transgender,” Cpl. Evan Baxter of Prince George’s County Sheriff’s Department explains in the clip.

In such instances, police are encouraged to ask the individual, “Do you prefer if I call you ma’am or sir?”

“Hey, I don’t have to be in the room to know what just happened. Someone snickered, laughed or made a joke,” the narrator addresses viewers after “Scenario 1” in the video. “Trust me, I know; I’m a cop, too. As police officers, we use humor to deal with things that make us feel uncomfortable or afraid […] To outsiders, it’s perceived as unprofessional and disrespectful.”

A subsequent scenario in the video demonstrates what an officer should do in cases involving a transgender person using a restroom that corresponds to the opposite sex. In the video, a mother with a baby calls 911 after encountering a man in the woman’s restroom.

“I was in the restroom but I’m a woman,” the man tells the officer. The officer then apologizes and leaves with no further questions asked.

The clip stresses the importance of remaining courteous and keeping questions relevant to the situation in question.

“Transgender Americans, like all Americans, deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect by law enforcement officers,” Paul Monteiro, acting director of the Justice Department’s Community Relations Service said in a press release. “The information provided in this video will help strengthen the relationship between police and the transgender community, allowing for more effective investigations and safer encounters for officers and citizens alike.”

WIKILEAKS CHIEF: We Have a Little October Surprise for Miss Hillary

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Last night Fox News aired part 1 of a 2-part interview with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Assange noted that they are currently reviewing “thousands of pages of material” related to the Hillary campaign which he described as “significant.” When asked whether the new material will be leaked before the November 8th election, Assange responded “yes, absolutely.”

“We have a lot of material, thousands of pages of material. There’s a variety of different types of documents and different types of institutions that are associated with the election campaign, some quite unexpected angles that are, you know, quite interesting, some even entertaining.”

We now know that Assange planned the timing of the previous leaks to correspond with the Democratic National Convention which has since resulted in the dismissal of 5 DNC officials, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz. We assume this leak will also be timed to maximize it’s effectiveness with speculation swirling that it could be released before one of the scheduled debates in October.

When asked whether the next release could be a “game-changer” in the November Presidential election, Assange replied:

“I think it’s significant. You know, it depends on how it catches fire in the public and in the media.”

WATCH: Four Iranian Vessels Harass U.S. Destroyer by Straits of Hormuz

/0 Comments/in , /by

Four patrol boats operated by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps harassed an American destroyer on Tuesday near the Straits of Hormuz, a U.S. defense official told Reuters on Wednesday.

Two of the Iranian boats came within 300 yards of the USS Nitze in a manner that the unnamed official called “unsafe and unprofessional.” The IRGC boats harassed the Nitze by “conducting a high speed intercept and closing within a short distance of Nitze, despite repeated warnings,” the official added.

The Nitze attempted to communicate with the IRGC vessels 12 times and fired 10 warning flares in the direction of the two closest boats. “The Iranian high rate of closure… created a dangerous, harassing situation that could have led to further escalation, including additional defensive measures by Nitze,” the official said.

The incident is the latest Iranian challenge to American presence in the Persian Gulf and its commitment to keep the area open to international shipping. IRGC naval forces captured ten American sailors and two boats in January, an incident that Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter called “outrageous, unprofessional and inconsistent with international law” during a Senate hearing in March. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson echoed Carter’s assessment while announcing the result of the Navy’s investigation into the seizure in June. “Those boats and crewmembers had every right to be where they were that day,” Richardson said. “The investigation concluded that Iran violated international law by impeding the boats’ innocent passage transit, and they violated our sovereign immunity by boarding, searching, and seizing the boats, and by photographing and video recording the crew.”

The U.S. Navy reported last month that in 2015, there were close to 300 encounters or “interactions” between American and Iranian naval vessels in the Persian Gulf. While most of the encounters were not considered to be harassment, the behavior of the Iranian navy was found to be less disciplined than that of other navies. Lt. Forrest Griggs, the operations officer of the USS New Orleans, explained that risks arise from the unpredictable behavior and uncertain intent of the Iranian vessels. “It’s very common for them to come up to within 300, 500 yards of us, and then they’ll turn, or parallel us and stop,” he said.
