Lots of nice pics for the illiterate right wing nuts, but zero substance or facts, as usual. Including Krauthammer's senile blathering above. He said it himself, there is nothing tangible, ie nothing real, only accusations and wing nut conspiracy theories.

Lots of Smoke Here, Hillary
By Patrick Buchanan
Prediction: If Hillary Clinton wins, within a year of her inauguration, she will be under investigation by a special prosecutor on charges of political corruption, thereby continuing a family tradition.
For consider what the Associated Press reported this week:
The surest way for a person with private interests to get a meeting with Secretary of State Clinton, or a phone call returned by her, it seems, was to dump a bundle of cash into the Clinton Foundation.
Of 154 outsiders whom Clinton phoned or met with in her first two years at State, 85 had made contributions to the Clinton Foundation, and their contributions, taken together, totaled $156 million.
Conclusion: Access to Secretary of State Clinton could be bought, but it was not cheap. Forty of the 85 donors gave $100,000 or more. Twenty of those whom Clinton met with or phoned dumped in $1 million or more.
To get to the seventh floor of the Clinton State Department for a hearing for one's plea, the cover charge was high.
Among those who got face time with Hillary Clinton were a Ukrainian oligarch and steel magnate who shipped oil pipe to Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions and a Bangladeshi economist who was under investigation by his government and was eventually pressured to leave his own bank.
The stench is familiar, and all too Clintonian in character.
Recall. On his last day in office, Jan. 20, 2001, Bill Clinton issued a presidential pardon to financier-crook and fugitive from justice Marc Rich, whose wife, Denise, had contributed $450,000 to the Clinton Library.
The Clintons appear belatedly to have recognized their political peril.
Bill has promised that, if Hillary is elected, he will end his big dog days at the foundation and stop taking checks from foreign regimes and entities, and corporate donors. Cash contributions from wealthy Americans will still be gratefully accepted.
One wonders: Will Bill be writing thank-you notes for the millions that will roll in to the family foundation -- on White House stationery?
By his actions, Bill is all but conceding that there is a serious conflict of interest between his foundation raking in millions that enhance the family's prestige and sustain its travel and lifestyle, while providing its big donors with privileged access to the secretary of state.
Yet if Hillary Clinton becomes president, the scheme is unsustainable. Even the Obama-Clinton media might not be able to stomach this.
And even Clinton seems to be conceding the game is up. "I know there's a lot of smoke, and there's no fire," she said in self-defense this week.
She is certainly right about the smoke.
And if, as Democratic apparatchik Steve McMahon assures us that there is "no smoking gun," no quid-pro-quo, no open-and-shut case of Secretary Clinton taking official action in gratitude to a donor of the family foundation, how can we predict a special prosecutor?
Answer: We are not at the end of this scandal. We are at what Churchill called the "end of the beginning."
Missing emails are being unearthed at State, through Freedom of Information Act requests, that are filling out the picture Clinton thought had been blotted out when her 33,000 "private" emails were erased by her lawyers.
Someone out there, Julian Assange, Russia, or the rogue websites doing all this hacking, are believed to have many more explosive emails they are preparing to drop before Election Day.
And why is Clinton is keeping her State Department calendar secret from the AP, if it does not contain meetings or calls she does not want to defend? She has defied requests and the AP had to sue to get the schedule of her first two years at State.
Moreover, the AP story on the State Department-Clinton Foundation links was so stunning it is sure to trigger follow-up by investigative journalists who can smell a Pulitzer.
Then there are the contacts between Huma Abedin, her closest aide at State, and Doug Band at the Clinton Foundation, the go-betweens for the donor-Clinton meetings, which has opened a new avenue for investigators.
These were unearthed by Judicial Watch, which is not going away.
The number of persons of interest involved in this suppurating scandal, which has gone from an illicit server, to a panoply of Clinton lies to the public that disgusted the FBI director, to erased emails, to "pay for play," and now deep into the Clinton Foundation continues to grow.
All that is needed now, to bring us to an independent counsel, is calls for the FBI to reopen and broaden its investigation in light of all that has been revealed since Director Comey said there was not evidence enough to recommend an indictment.
If Clinton controls the Justice Department, calls for a special prosecutor will be resisted, but only until public demand becomes too great.
For there were independent counsels called in Watergate, Iran-Contra and the scandals that led to the impeachment of Bill Clinton.
Hillary Clinton says there is no fire. But something is causing all that smoke.

The SHOCKING TRUTH Behind Hillary and Her Involvement With The KKK REVEALED!
By Katie Mcguire
Perhaps it would behoove Hillary to take a moment before she opens her mouth, since everything she says is blatantly false.
Via Greg Campbell:
The Democrats have always been against black people. They were the party of Southern slave supporters. They were the party of segregationists. They were the party of those who resisted vehemently basic civil rights for blacks. And then, when they realized the political potential of posturing as champions of minorities, they crafted the narrative that they were the true agents of equality. In keeping with this lie, Hillary Clinton is pretending to serve as a champion of minority communities. However, few are buying this preposterous act.
Pastor Mark Burns slammed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for a campaign video released on Thursday that links Republican candidate Donald Trump to the Ku Klux Klan.
“Hillary Clinton and her campaign went to a disgusting new low today as they released a video tying the Trump Campaign with horrific racial images,” Burns said in a statement released by the Trump campaign on Thursday.
“This type of rhetoric and repulsive advertising is revolting and completely beyond the pale. I call on Hillary Clinton to disavow this video and her campaign for this sickening act that has no place in our world,” he added.
Burns, the co-founder and CEO of the NOW television network, is a member of Trump’s diversity coalition.
He spoke on the GOP nominee’s behalf at the Republican National Convention.
Clinton’s video includes a man dressed up in Ku Klux Klan garb saying of Trump, “A lot of what he believes, we believe in.” It also includes a clip from “alt-right” leader Jared Taylor saying he likes Trump’s views on building a wall on the Mexican border and Muslim immigration.
The video also highlights that Steve Bannon, Trump’s new campaign CEO, was the editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, which is portrayed as a purveyor of “alt-right” views.
Clinton followed up the video with remarks in Reno, Nev., on Thursday charging that Trump is “taking hate groups mainstream.”
The video and the speech may be in response to Trump’s direct appeals to African-American voters in recent speeches, when he has charged that Democrat policies supported by Clinton have been hurting blacks and keeping them in poverty.
In a speech last Friday in Michigan, the candidate said, “The inner cities of our country have been run by the Democratic Party for 50 years. Their policies have produced only poverty, joblessness, failing schools and broken homes.”
“If you keep voting for the same people, you will keep getting exactly the same results,” he contended.
Trump pointed to specific policies that Clinton supports as being detrimental to those trying to climb out of poverty, including plans to raise taxes on small businesses, to support open borders, to oppose school choice and to back unfair trade policies.
The businessman is hoping to gain some support among African-Americans, with whom, like GOP nominee Mitt Romney during the 2012 election cycle, he is only polling in single digits.
Trump has also made similar appeals to Latinos recently and softened his rhetoric regarding illegal immigration. The candidate even signaled on Fox News’ Hannity earlier this week that he would open to some form of legal status for those who have lived in the country for years and are productive members of society.
Clinton’s move is also clearly aimed at changing the subject in the media, which in recent days has focused on apparent pay-for-play favors granted by the State Department for Clinton Foundation top donors, the former secretary of state’s failure to turn over 15,000 work-related emails despite telling the public multiple times over the last year she had, and even questions about her health.
As reported by Western Journalism, a prominent leader of the Ku Klux Klan endorsed Clinton earlier this year, explaining, “She’s a Democrat. The Klan has always been a Democratic organization.”
There will always be racists. Some are Republican and some are Democrats. However, it is important to note one important fact: the Republican Party was created as a vehicle for the destruction of slavery and the promotion of equality. The Democrat Party has long served as an opponent of such equality.
Even in their supposed efforts to “augment equality,” they have been instrumental in promoting a different kind of slavery within black communities: government dependency.

Who cares. Did you read what he said? She's a highly functioning psychopath or sociopath.I guess I have to do it for you. It's truly pathetic that you ignorant deluded righties just want to stay that way. Seriously, what is wrong with you. You should be ashamed of yourself.
