Most haven't a clue of what horror is except what they have seen in the movies. Most have never known terror. Until you have been there, lived it, nobody can. Nam was Hell's kitchen, but these kids today are being deployed again and again into this mess!

It changes you, distorts your world. You lose your innocence, trust. Then they send you home, disarm you, where most want to be nice to you, but where you've been that can get you killed. It turns everything upside down. Some have it much worse than others, some not so much, but it is hard to talk about, to anyone, even a Dr.. It takes time, and for many that clock can run out long before help arrives.

That's why we need more veterans in govt and fewer lawyers. These idiots in DC today are nothing but a bunch of crooked lawyers trying to get over on the people and each other for their own gain

It's hard to be molded into something for a long period of time and just shut it off because you are no longer subject to it.

Throwing money at it doesn't help, but for those in DC that's all they know. That's why nothing is ever fixed by govt. Thay haven't a clue on most issues that face common people, much less our soldiers!

Americans Vote Obama Worst President Since World War II

A new survey shows Americans think Obama is the worst of the 12 U.S. presidents since 1945.

A new poll shows Americans think President Barack Obama is the worst commander in chief since World War II.

Unlike Ronald Reagan, who respondents determined to be the best president since World War II, Obama led the pack of the most disliked presidents. Of the 12 men who have taken over the Oval Office since 1945, 33 percent of voters surveyed said Obama is the worst.

The Quinnipiac University poll surveyed 1,446 registered voters nationwide from June 24-30. The margin of error was +/-2.6.

http://www.usnews.com/news/newsgram/articles/2014/07/02/americans-vote-obama-worst-the-president-since-world-war-ii

Americans couldn't seem to determine which disfavored leader was the lesser of two evils. Thirty-nine percent of the poll’s voters said Obama is a better president than George W. Bush, while 40 percent said he is worse.

The poll also revealed that 40 percent of voters approve of the way Obama is handling his presidency, while 53 percent disapprove.

Ya think? laugh

It amazes me how 9 out of 10 media outlets are praising Clinton even tho she has been broadsided by Comey's rebuke of all her now proven lies, statements and deceptions around her email fiasco, and being shown to be the one with all the attributes and everything she states makes Trump unelectable.

Meanwhile what do they attack Trump with?

Well, there's his poor business practices which have made him a MULTI-BILLIONAIRE, his bigotry even though his wife is an immigrant, his daughter converted to Judism after her marriage to her husband, and he employs thousands of blacks and hispanics (of course Clinton is such a great jobs creator..... just ask the coal miners and companies she wants to put out of business), and of course the latest attack.... his "made in America" hats from imported textiles (but of course they won't blame NAFTA which her husband signed destroying US manufacturing for that need).

Liberal logic can be explained in the dictionary under idiocy and stupidity! laugh

Lying to the FBI whether under Oath or not,is a Felony!

Besides:

"The Criminal Statute

If the Department of Justice charges Clinton for committing a felony, they would be charging her for violating 18 U.S.C. 793(f), which states:

Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed . . . Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."

You forgot to add.... "unless your last name is Clinton".

Who pays when President Obama is campaigner in chief

http://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/pays-president-obama-campaigner-chief-141007999.html

Wonder if Hitlery (and the DNC) realizes she or they are picking up the tab on this.... or will she and Oblowme try to find a way to bilk the taxpayers for it....

Hopefully we'll find out when they file their campaign expense report with the FEC in August.

But then we know how well Hitlery "complies" and keeps records

From Whitewater to Benghazi: A Clinton-Scandal Primer

The State Department is reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, just as she puts a Justice Department investigation behind her.

Hillary Clinton is out of the frying pan and into the fire. On July 6, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced that the Justice Department would not pursue criminal charges against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee for her use of a private email server at the State Department. But the following day, with that criminal investigation closed, the State Department reopened its own probe into the emails, the AP reported.

State Department spokesman John Kirby told the AP that it would be looking at potential mishandling of classified information by Hillary Clinton and her top aides. Former officials could face administrative sanctions, including a loss of their security clearances—a step that would be both politically embarrassing for Clinton, and complicate efforts to staff a national-security team should she prevail in November.

APNewsBreak: State Department reopens Clinton emails probe

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department is reopening an internal investigation of possible mishandling of classified information by Hillary Clinton and top aides, officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Although the former secretary of state's closest confidants have left the agency, they could still face punishment. The most serious is the loss of security clearances, which could complicate her aides' hopes of securing top positions on her national security team if she becomes president.

http://www.yahoo.com/news/apnewsbreak-state-department-reopens-clinton-emails-probe-225859610--politics.html

So as usual Clinton skates but her subordinates will be thrown under the bus so the Dems can claim "something was done and somebody guilty paid"..... but Hitlery was innocent.... even tho it was her calling the shots.... just like Benghazi frustrated

Writer of "Clinton Cash" Peter Schweizer on concerns of potential corruption by the Clintons tells how he wrote the book on Hillary and Bill. Great in depth documentary. After watching this, it makes sense why all those emails were hidden. Please share this to everyone you know. This guy has done all the work for the FBI. These people should be in jail. No doubt about it. INFORM your friends let everyone know about this.

Trey Gowdy grills Jim Comey on Hillary Clinton Email Scandal

In crisp lawyerly style, Trey Gowdy makes good use of his 5 minutes, questioning FBI Director Jim Comey on his astonishing "no-prosecute" recommendation for Hillary Clinton after proving "extreme carelessness" in her (and her staff's) mishandling of classified information during her tenure as Secretary of State. Date: July 7, 2016

WASHINGTON (AP) — Key assertions by Hillary Clinton in defense of her email practices have collapsed under FBI scrutiny.

The agency's yearlong investigation found that she did not, as she claimed, turn over all her work-related messages for release. It found that her private email server did carry classified emails, also contrary to her past statements. And it made clear that Clinton used many devices to send and receive email despite her statements that she set up her email system so that she only needed to carry one.

FBI Director James Comey's announcement Tuesday that he will not refer criminal charges to the Justice Department against Clinton spared her from prosecution and a devastating political predicament. But it left much of her account in tatters and may have aggravated questions of trust swirling around her Democratic presidential candidacy.

A look at Clinton's claims since questions about her email practices as secretary of state surfaced and how they compare with facts established in the FBI probe:


CLINTON: "I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material." News conference, March 2015.

THE FACTS: Actually, the FBI identified at least 113 emails that passed through Clinton's server and contained materials that were classified at the time they were sent, including some that were Top Secret and referred to a highly classified special access program, Comey said.

Most of those emails — 110 of them — were included among 30,000 emails that Clinton returned to the State Department around the time her use of a private email server was discovered. The three others were recovered from a forensic analysis of Clinton's server. "Any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton's position or in the position of those with whom she was corresponding about the matters should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation," Comey said. Clinton and her aides "were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information," he said.

___

CLINTON: "I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified." NBC interview, July 2016.

THE FACTS: Clinton has separately clung to her rationale that there were no classification markings on her emails that would have warned her and others not to transmit the sensitive material. But the private system did, in fact, handle emails that bore markings indicating they contained classified information, Comey said.

He said the marked emails were "a very small number." But that's not the only standard for judging how officials handle sensitive material, he added. "Even if information is not marked classified in an email, participants who know, or should know, that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it."

___

CLINTON: "I responded right away and provided all my emails that could possibly be work related" to the State Department. News conference, March 2015.

THE FACTS: Not so, the FBI found.

Comey said that when his forensic team examined Clinton's server it found there were "several thousand work-related emails that were not in the group of 30,000" that had been returned by Clinton to the State Department.

___

CLINTON: "I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for personal emails instead of two." News conference, March 2015.

THE FACTS: This reasoning for using private email both for public business and private correspondence didn't hold up in the investigation. Clinton "used numerous mobile devices to view and send email" using her personal account, Comey said. He also said Clinton had used different servers.

___

CLINTON: "It was on property guarded by the Secret Service, and there were no security breaches. ... The use of that server, which started with my husband, certainly proved to be effective and secure." News conference, March 2015.

CLINTON campaign website: "There is no evidence there was ever a breach."

THE FACTS: The campaign website claimed "no evidence" of a breach, a less categorical statement than Clinton herself made last year, when she said there was no breach. The FBI did not uncover a breach but made clear that that possibility cannot be ruled out.

"We assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email account," Comey said.

He said evidence would be hard to find because hackers are sophisticated and can cover their tracks. Comey said his investigators learned that Clinton's security lapses included using "her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries." Comey also noted that hackers breached the email accounts of several outsiders who messaged with Clinton.

Comey did not mention names, but a Romanian hacker who called himself Guccifer accessed and later leaked emails from Sidney Blumenthal, an outside adviser to Clinton who regularly communicated with her.

___

CLINTON: "I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the State Department." News conference, March 2015.

THE FACTS: Comey did not address Clinton's reason for using a private server instead of a government one, but he highlighted the perils in routing sensitive information through a home server.

The FBI found that Clinton's personal server was "not even supported by full-time security staff like those found at agencies and departments of the United States government or even with a commercial email service like Gmail," the director said.

A May 2016 audit by the State Department inspector general found there was no evidence Clinton sought or received approval to operate a private server, and that she "had an obligation to discuss using her personal email account to conduct official business with their offices." Courts have frowned on such a practice.

In an unrelated case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled Tuesday that the purpose of public records law is "hardly served" when a department head "can deprive the citizens of their right to know what his department is up to" by maintaining emails on a private system.

Marine’s defense for disseminating classified information will cite Hillary Clinton’s case

Maj. Jason Brezler’s case has been tied up in federal court since he sued the service in December 2014. He became a cause celebre among some members of Congress, Marine generals and military veterans after he sent a classified message using an unclassified Yahoo email account to warn fellow Marines in southern Afghanistan about a potentially corrupt Afghan police chief. A servant of that police official killed three Marines and severely wounded a fourth 17 days later, on Aug. 10, 2012, opening fire with a Kalashnikov rifle in an insider attack.

An attorney for Brezler, Michael J. Bowe, said that he intends to cite the treatment of Clinton “as one of the many, and most egregious examples” of how severely Brezler was punished. FBI Director James B. Comey announced Tuesday that he would not recommend the U.S. government pursue federal charges against Clinton, but he rebuked her “extremely careless” use of a private, unclassified email server while serving as secretary of state. The FBI found that 110 of her emails contained classified information.

"In a feature article about Mr. Epstein in New Yorker magazine, former President Clinton aptly described Mr. Epstein as a 'committed philanthropist with a keen sense of global markets and an in-depth knowledge of 21st century science,'” Epstein’s lawyers wrote. “President Clinton reached this conclusion during a monthlong trip to Africa with Mr. Epstein, which Mr. Epstein hosted. The purpose of that trip was to increase AIDS awareness; to work toward a solution to the AIDS crisis; and to provide funding to reduce the costs of delivering medications to those inflicted with the disease.


Yeah, I'll bet that's why Clinton and Epstein were in the "slave trade" capital of the world laugh

I think that they are both confused,, doesn't make them bad people at all

but it is frustrating that its dubbed as 'hateful' to say it about one but not the other


How is Jenner confused? If that's what makes him errr her happy then so be it. Doesn't make him confused. We all have our skeletons. Jenner just revealed to the public instead of hiding it from people anymore.

I mean, you kind of had to now he was gay. A white man married to a Kardashian? It doesn't happen! laugh



he is no more or less confused than the other person



I mean if someone can father children and believe they are a woman,, though in every species the one who carries the seed is the MALE

then why cant someone whose ancestry is not African consider themselves black,, even though the definition of black is having primary ancestry in AFrica


I mean, if people are 'happy' they obviously cant also be 'confused',,,


Depends.... sometimes confusion and ignorance is bliss.....

When in doubt ask a liberal laugh

Court: Private-account email can be subject to FOIA

On the same day that the FBI announced that the criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server is likely to conclude without any charges, a federal appeals court issued a ruling that could complicate and prolong a slew of ongoing civil lawsuits over access to the messages Clinton and her top aides traded on personal accounts.

In a decision Tuesday in a case not involving Clinton directly, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit held that messages contained in a personal email account can sometimes be considered government records subject to Freedom of Information Act requests.

The case ruled on by the D.C. Circuit focused on a relatively obscure White House unit: the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

At least one federal judge handling a FOIA suit focused on Clinton's emails said last month he was watching to see how the D.C. Circuit ruled in the dispute involving Obama science adviser John Holdren and an account he kept on a server at the non-profit Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts.

After the free-market-oriented Competitive Enterprise Institute filed suit over a request for work-related emails sent to or from that private account used by Holdren, U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler ruled last year that the government had no duty to search an email account that wasn't part of OSTP's official system.

But the three D.C. Circuit judges who ruled Tuesday all said Kessler was too rash in throwing out the suit and they agreed the case should be reinstated.
