It seems the more this campaign moves forward the less popular Clinton is -- even to Democratic voters, as polls show Bernie Sanders now in a statistical tie with her in California. This does not make me sad, but it should scare the pantsuits off Democrats.
There's ample reason for Clinton's unpopularity. She's dishonest, unlikable, corrupt, arrogant and so much more. Can you imagine being so smug from a lifetime of unpunished misconduct that you feel legally immune and politically invincible? But her fate could finally change.
At issue is Clinton's use of her personal email account to conduct official business while secretary of state, a practice she has casually passed off as routine.
The State Department inspector general issued an audit report blistering Clinton for flouting federal records "rules" and cybersecurity guidelines and for refusing to cooperate with the IG's investigation. Though the report acknowledges "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" in the State Department, it singles Clinton out for far more serious violations.
What Do Vietnam and Gitmo Have in Common...a Traitor Named Obama
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on americanpbn.com
You know Vietnam...the war that Obama said was "the work of politicians"...was the war that lingered on for 20 years...from 1955 to 1975...was the war that divided our nation like no other since the Civil War...was the war full of media-generated misinformation that led many to believe that America had lost the war when the reality is that the war was lost by the South Vietnamese when Saigon (now known as Ho Chi Minh City) fell on April 30, 1975, a full two years after our troops 'officially' left behind that hell hole of heat, humidity, and of course of napalm and 'Agent Orange.'
Vietnam...which made enemies of our brave troops who returned home not to accolades deserved but to the leers of those who met them with taunts of being baby-killers and with in-their-face-hate, with some even spat upon. And the cause of all this...yet another Democratic president...this one being Lyndon B. Johnson...and a media hell-bent on proudly showing their misrepresentation of the facts as to how the war was actually going as they catered to and defended the anti-war movement engulfing our country...engulfing our country doing more harm to America than the war itself.
Addressing Vietnamese authorities on state television regarding their still dismal human rights record, Obama said that while the U.S. is not trying to "impose the American form of government on Vietnam," and that "basic human rights are not a threat to Vietnam" nor to their communist system of government, the country should still be more open to what he called "scrutiny" in order for their country to grow much "stronger and more prosperous" economically, which he claimed in turn would help start companies that are good for the country...a country that will still remain mired in communism, good companies or not, as long as its one-party system remains the rule of the day.
But the most grievous of all concerning Obama's visit to Vietnam was this past Monday's lifting of a decades- long embargo on the sale of lethal weapons to the communist country...the country where over 58,000 of our men and women were killed. In a joint news conference in Hanoi with Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang, Obama said that the lifting of the embargo was part of a "deeper defense cooperation" with the country while at the same time denying what some have hinted at as being a way...or so Obama thinks...to counter...to stop...China's ever-growing muscle flexing throughout the southeast Asia region...a region where China has recently tried to claim territory in the South China Sea that actually belongs to others...including claims by Vietnam...and where they have been building artificial islands and military-grade installations on some of the atolls and reefs they control and claim.
And Obama wants to do away with said embargo "based on ideological division between our two countries." And these words mimic almost to a tee his nefarious 'very bad' deal with Iran...and we all know how that deal has been working out now don't we. And like with Iran and other countries with dismal human rights records, Obama spoke that sales of said weapons, along with strategic information, would be evaluated on a "case-by-case" basis.
You mean one weapon or one bit of information for one political prisoner...is that Obama's definition of case-by-case...just saying.
And what do we get by the lifting of this embargo...just like with the Iran 'very bad' nuclear deal we get nothing...nothing..because Vietnam needs us more than we need them especially regarding their dispute with China over the above mentioned contested islands and where Obama is playing a very dangerous game...a game where he hopes that the arming of Vietnam will turn them completely against China and allied with us...something that is not likely to happen even with the island dispute, at least not in a way that is beneficial to the U.S.
So now we sit and wait while Obama continues his 'apology tour' in Japan...we wait for the final ramifications and fallout of his visit to Vietnam to make themselves known. And rest assured it will not be pretty and will end up in some way, some how, hurting our Vietnam vets in the end.
In fact, according to a report issued earlier this year by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the number of detainees released from Gitmo who have "reengaged in terrorism" has doubled since July 2015, translating to date into 118 out of the 676 detainees released who have been confirmed to have "reengaged" in terrorist acts since 2009...and that includes three from the infamous 5-for-1 trade...where five Gitmo-held Taliban leaders were traded for one American traitor...Bowe Bergdahl.
But that is of no importance to Obama what with his having only eight months left to come through with his promise to close Gitmo...and we know this is one promise he intends to fulfill solely because it aids his blood brethren.
So what do Vietnam and Gitmo have in common...a traitor named Barack HUSSEIN Obama...a man who would rather do for the enemy and those not truly America's friend than do for the nation he swore to serve and protect...but I guess when one's fingers are crossed behind one's back promises made mean not a thing especially when they're made by a man whose allegiance truly does lie with those out to kill us all.
