What is Hillary saying now?
The NY Times tiptoes around the evolution of her email explanations. I adore this:
Initial Statement
March 10, 2015 "We went through a thorough process to identify all of my work-related emails and delivered them to the State Department,” she said. “I have absolute confidence that everything that could be in any way connected to work is now in the possession of the State Department.” — statement by Mrs. Clinton at United Nations news conference
Later comments
June 25, 2015 It was disclosed in June that there were 15 emails between Mrs. Clinton and her longtime adviser Sidney Blumenthal, mainly dealing with events in Libya, that Mrs. Clinton did not provide to the State Department. In response to that development, a Clinton campaign official said, “We do not have a record of other correspondence between her and Mr. Blumenthal beyond that which was turned over to the State Department.” The official added, “We do not recognize many of those materials and cannot speak to their origin.” — The New York Times
...
Analysis
The campaign has not said what happened to these emails. But its failure to turn them over to the State Department has raised questions about whether Mrs. Clinton gave the department all the messages pertaining to her work as the nation’s top diplomat.
Questions have been raised! And answered, obviously - there is no question that not all the relevant emails were turned over. The only question might be, was this some sort of archiving error, or, well, editorial discretion as exercised by Team Clinton?
In the context of the timeline, that email from the beast to its spawn is a smoking gun.
Any world in which it is not seen as a smoking gun is not a world of facts and reason.
Welcome to the jungle.

My take is that Democrats ( which include virtually all the media ) were never going to admit a single flaw in Hillary's character. Perhaps Republicans are the same from the reverse perspective. But Hillary did confirm and it can be exploited in political ads, that she is so craven that she would lie to next of kin while standing in front of the deceased caskets, and also has no problem lying to the American people to advance a Democrat Party objective.
Both will be extremely useful when we get to the trench warfare...

Hmm, maybe the received wisdom about who benefits from these showdowns is;
1. A myth and,
2. A self fulfilling myth, because the GOP's lily livered refusal . . .
"Received wisdom"? I presume you have a brain, what do you think will be the upshot of this particular incident? Will the GOP get Barry to move on defense spending without addressing entitlements and taxes? Will there be a wave of new Republicans elected to congress? Will a remarkable unity suddenly engulf the GOP?
Yeah, color me unimpressed. I'd note the FC accepted Ryan at almost the same time they scuttled the debt ceiling increase. There are a lot of contentious issues in the next few weeks, and having your party fracture lines evident before negotiations start is not a plus.

Just to have fun...
Dems have a history of yanking a bad candidate at the very last minute and substituting another (Torricelli).
Having won the debate and the hearing, Bill will need a bigger wheelbarrow to get all the new cash into the CCF Foundation for Prepaid Bribes. The next quarter or two should be their best ever.
Reps can expend a lot of energy at Hillary Specific faults, and a last minute sub could be immune to most of those charges.
Biden's speech the other day did not close the door to playing that role.
It is win win for the bad guys:
No matter what, Bill will rake in gazillions now.
If Hillary looks like a winner, then she just goes ahead and becomes POTUS.
If the hag looks bad after a few more quarters, then the party does a Torricelli and the Clinton's have been well paid for running their part of the scam.
And a Biden-Warren-Patrick-Michelle ticket climbs into the ring with a much shorter time frame to take hits.

I presume you have a brain, what do you think will be the upshot of this particular incident?
The only way the Rs can prevail is to use the debt ceiling as leverage, and/or engineer President Hissyfit to shut down the government. Of course to make that work they have to have a strategy to sell it to the public, that Barry is the unreasonable one who is causing the shutdown, and preempt the MSM's automatic blame of the Republicans. With the debt ceiling they have to play the game of chicken better than they did last time, by showing that not raising the debt ceiling does not mean the government defaults on debt, it means only that certain outlays have to be canceled or delayed.

Indeed. The Left's pursuit of Antonio Gramsci's incremental strategy of the "long march through the institutions and culture" is coming to fruition. The Marxists' strategies for subversion as outlined by Yuri Bezmenov in those 1980's interviews (Demoralization, Destabilization, Insurgency, Normalization) has also been pursued, and as he said then, the process of Demoralization is over-fulfilled. We're already in the Destabilization phase, and Crisis is coming.
As Charles Krauthammer said yesterday on Fox News, "We're living in an age where what you say and its relation with the facts is completely irrelevant."
We have a vastly different culture and electorate than we had during the Reagan years, and we're now living in a different paradigm. We simply can not expect that what worked then will necessarily work now.

Of course to make that work they have to have a strategy to sell it to the public
This is the part that's missing. Even granting that the MSM is 100% against our side, there's plenty that can be done.
Again, I'd point to the 2nd Amendment issue. The NRA keeps winning, both legislatively and also in the court of public opinion. How are they doing that? Why can't the GOP learn some lessons from them?

Yuri Bezmenov:
"As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter any more. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him, by force, to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When the military boot crashes his, then he will understand. But not before that. That is the tragedy of this situation of demoralization."

OT, but I went to the dermatologist yesterday to have a growth removed.
In spite of the requirement of electronic medical records, I had to write out on paper and twice answer orally information that they contain. For many I simply stated that they are in the EMR. So much for increasing the efficiency of the medical delivery system.

"Hillary lied. She's really a disgusting liar. She liked right to the faces of our dead soldiers's parents."
"Of course he vetoed the bill. Obama couldn't care less about the military, or whether our servicemen get paid."
Statements like these would get covered, because the MSM would think they'd be held against the speakers. Like they thought with Trump.

--The point made consistently is that the Soviets knew they were being controlled. This is intended to be both more effective and invisible.--
Yeah, but that only works until they cut your EBT in half or your SS check bounces or you can't find a doc who takes Medicare.
And that kind of thing doesn't rotate on a thousand year cycle.
In 1939 Hitler promised a 1000 year Reich and ten years later Adenauer and the Germans had bulldozed the last remnants of it, including his grave, under the earth.
In 1979 the USSR stood astride a quaking free world led by Howdy Doody in a cardigan.
Ten years later the Berlin wall fell, Yeltsin rode into town on a tank and the dunce Reagan was vindicated.

Exactly, Ext!
It would also provide someone and something for all of us out here who know that Hillary's a damn liar and Obama doesn't care about the military, to rally around.
Part of the point of getting those statements out there in public, and even more importantly not apologizing for them the moment there's pushback, is simply to make it acceptable for others to say those things, too.
Posted by: James D | October 23, 2015 at 03:24 PM
Marlene,
Perhaps they have run into difficulties with the computer records.
Like when I went in for my blood pressure check and the nurse asked me how I was recovering from my surgery. They had me down as having had a quadruple bypass! The only surgery I ever had was a knee realignment!
Someone else's records got transferred from the hospital to my file. Which is why I probably couldn't get private insurance back in 2008.
Posted by: Miss Marple 2 | October 23, 2015 at 03:25 PM
--I presume you have a brain, what do you think will be the upshot of this particular incident?--
Thanks for the gratuitous insult.
If the GOP is serious the upshot will be as it was when they were serious about Bush's tax cuts; Barry will fold over his whining issues and the GOP will make a couple of concessions and a deal will be reached independent of domestic spending.
Because we have the worst poker players in the world running congress we may not get that much, but that means you change players not how the game is played.
Even with these clowns we will almost certainly end up with a better deal than if they had simply given him what he wanted in order to pass it on the first try.

MM,we had to transfer all our medical records from our northern Maine providers when we moved here. What a PITA. Those older records were never put into the system here. My primary care provider was flipping thru pages and pages of my records to retrieve info. But all the current info is in the system,because the provider practices here are all part of the hospital monolith. I really have no complaints,but anytime you become a patient,you've got to be proactive.

Iggy-that Continetti piece is not helping and Newt Gingrich was not EVER a Conservative.
He was, however, interested in futurism going back to when he was still a history prof at a third rate state school.
Hoping Ryan isn't interested in that. My problem is that he wants to govern people and use public policy to solve problems and he seems to believe the House can become a beacon for good governance, which to me means they intend to meddle even more.

Just rolled in to the big city to enjoy an anniversary wine dinner at Galley & Garden - a restaurant in Birmingham that a buddy of mine (James Boyce) opened up last year and is competing nicely with Frank Stitt. No easy task.
Five course on tap, and ignoring the appetizer and dessert courses, the second through fourth are: roasted Maine diver sea scallop with fennel gnocchi; pan-seared Sitka Bay king salmon with Littleneck clams; and a prime filet with porcini mushrooms and foie gras.
Some great wines paired with each course, of course, but there's an '09 La Grave Figeac, St. Emilion served with the filet. I plan to guilt the younger Beastette out of her glass - since she's not of drinking age. :)

This is what I was referring to yesterday when you asked about the FBI:
How corrupt are the FBI and DoJ?
They brought 14 charges in this case.
Eight were thrown out before the trial because the FBI lied to the court and defendants.
Of the remaining six, the jury could not render a verdict on three and issued acquittals on the other two.
They handed down only one guilty verdict, a violation of Sarbanes-Oxley...
...which could be thrown out on appeal because the jury was not told the law their verdict was based on covers bankruptcies, not campaign reports.
This was nothing more than yet another petty attempt by the FBI and DoJ to target and harass conservatives.
Perhaps it's time to bring criminal charges against serial abuser Richard Pilger.

Clinton supposedly got a huge amount of donations last night.
My theory: they had fake accounts pre-loaded to transfer to her account once her testimony was ended.

I just got up from a dinner of stuffed acorn squash I made all by my lonesome. I put dried cranberries in it which put a smile on Mrs. Buckeye's face.

Steph-I am around next week and one of the BH Life restaurants for lunch would be fun.
You pick your favorite. I find Perimeter at lunch hard to get around because so many of the office buildings in area spill out looking to 'do lunch'.
GMax-the fact that "because it was a named, authorized initiative" he will get death benefits for combat is sick. Special forces die on a mission should always be deemed a combat death and entitled to those benefits.

If guilty as hell free as a bird Lois Lerner proves anything, it's that absent a dead boy or a live girl Hillary is skating on anything she has done.
And if the dead boy is young enough Hillary could always just say she was shopping for a new brain and who would get upset?

Lois Lerner getting off tells me that the Rule of Law is gone in this country. Your prosecution depends on your political affiliation and who you know.
I am now moving to cash only and barter with my stuff. I will not support this government.

You sold out of that energy stock you were making a killing on?
Posted by: Extraneus | October 23, 2015 at 06:44 PM
Extraneus,
No. I sold half of it to preserve my gains. The rest still is there, and the company did a reverse split. it is holding its value.
I also gradually switched to stocks which pay pretty good dividends (thanks to Old Lurker's comment on this strategy)so that account will just sit there until I am 70, when i have to withdraw.
I am talking about what I sell. My eBay stuff I will have to declare, but I have a lot of stuff I can sell elsewhere and it won't be reported.
They also have not yet figured out how to tax coupons and buying on sale. Plus I can sell locally through my neighborhood web site for cash.
It's going to take me a while, but I intend to disappear from the radar.

Buried in the report of Texas subpoenas to Planned Abortionhood story was this nugget:
IG Bowen also said the state had evidence that the organization had committed Medicaid fraud.
There is a God and he is an awesome God. Please put Cecile in a maximum security facility.
Posted by: GMax | October 23, 2015 at 06:58 PM
GMax,
Cecile will only go to prison if we elect a Republican.
Until then, she skates like Lois Lerner.

GMax: see MM2 at 6:43. Awesome God is dead to progtard true believers. Cecile will never see the inside of any detention center of any kind. Until she gets to Hell, of course.

The Rule of Law was handed down to Moses. It is not dead just as God is not dead.
I want Cecile to lie awake at night, fearing that a government under President Cruz or President Carson is going to come find her...

Miss Marple,
Make mine vodka. I'll buy.

Committed MORE Medicaid fraud
"In fact, in 2013 Planned Parenthood agreed to pay $4.3 million to settle a federal civil suit over claims it fraudulently billed Medicaid for women's health services provided by some of its Texas clinics from 2003 to 2009. Specifically, there were claims that Planned Parenthood billed Medicaid for services that were not provided, including birth-control counseling and testing for sexually transmitted diseases."

and something to consider is that the fraudulent services went into their claims of how many services they provide & how NEEDED they are.

Amen sister. Tell it.

The mailman's son just announced a huge get. Dick Armey ( and I emphasize the word dick ) had endorsed him. Perhaps the biggest horse's @ss I have ever met. John, that is not big get, but I do understand the alternative is nothing happened for you or your campaign today.
Posted by: GMax | October 23, 2015 at 07:37 PM
Dick Armey is a weasel, so it is fitting he supports the Mailman's Son.
LOL!
Posted by: Miss Marple 2 | October 23, 2015 at 07:47 PM
The last I heard of Armey he was trying to co-opt the Tea Party to feel relevant again. That didn't work out so well. Maybe this is Plan B.
