According to a report today in the New York Times and on NBC, the Inspector General of the Office of National Intelligence has asked the Justice Department for a criminal probe of hundreds of classified emails that passed through Hillary Clinton’s private email server while she was Secretary of State. This is illegal. Experts fear, however, that Eric Holder’s Justice Department will simply ignore the request. My opinion: Democrats need to dump Hillary. She is toxic. Jim Webb is in the race. He was former Secretary of the Navy and served as a Senator from Virginia where he is known as a hothead. But at least we could get the American political system back to being pro-American.
Well, the old debt money system is gasping for breath this morning.
Stocks on the DOW Jones Industrial average dropped 1,089 points within minutes of opening at 9:30 this morning.
The largest one-day drop in the DOW was 777 points in Sept. 2008.
You may have noticed that several months ago, I started keeping tabs on the delta – the difference – between the DOW and the number of subscribers to this report.
The point is that I knew the bubble would burst and the DOW would crash, but the subscribers to this report would continue their slow but sure steady climb.
Why? Because I have my own point of view that I stick to. You might not like it always, but I’m honest, I call ‘em like I see them. It’s the essence of a free press in a free society.
Now as far as the market goes, this is not good. Larry Summers – not my favorite guy -- tweeted the following this morning:
“As in August 1997, 1998, 2007 and 2008, we could be in the early stage of a very serious situation”
Yes, Larry, we may be and no thanks to you. It was you who drove the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 when you were Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Treasury. This allowed banks to put their assets at risk by connecting them to securities firms.
Thereafter you became President of Harvard University and in 2006, you had so many conflicts of interest that they fired you.
Then from 2009 to 2010, it was you who as Obama’s Director of the National Economic Council guided Obama’s response to the Great Recession- flood the banks with handouts so they could create yet another bubble. Now this is the result.
So don’t try to get on Twitter like you are just one of the guys and try to get out ahead of this story by now predicting the obvious – the bursting of the debt-based bubble of which you were one of the chief architects.

Back in 1986, after spending 6 years and 13 million dollars trying to fix Central Park’s Wollman Skating Rink, Mayor Ed Koch reluctantly gave the job to a 39-year-old flamboyant New York Real Estate developer, Donald Trump.
Trump completed the job in four months at a cost of only 2.5 million dollars. This old CBS News video has surfaced recounting the opening of the rink:

Yes, as strange as it seems, even Ben Carson beat Ted Cruz in New York in the 16th Congressional District.
For some reason Carson’s name was still on the ballot. Perhaps it was just an oversight; perhaps ballots had already been printed; who knows.
But in any case, Ben Carson, a guy who pulled out the race weeks ago, got 12% of the vote for a 3rd place finish and Ted Cruz came in dead last with only 10%.
And finally the Trump campaign is highlighting one of the most dramatic indicators of just who is kidding who in this campaign. Those of us who have gone to Donald Trump rallies know it’s an overwhelming experience. The crowds are gigantic, but Ted Cruz crowds have been typically lucky to be 10% as large.
Now, they have shrunk even further. Last night in Philadelphia, Cruz held a rally and only 22 people showed up. Here are the comparison pictures.
I’m Still reporting from Washington. Good Day.
Good morning. I’m still reporting on Trump.
It turns out Donald Trump was right – again. Protesters at his rallies can be arrested.
On Sunday, Trump, speaking at his Kansas City rally, warned protesters that he could press charges:
“It’ll destroy their record. I don’t wont to ruin somebody’s life. But it’s the only way we’re going to stop this craziness.”
And Trump is right again. Why? Because there is a law against protesting at an event of someone under Secret Service protection. It was passed on Jan. 3, 2012.
The law states that:
[insert HR 347, Section 1752 (a)]
‘‘(a) Whoever … engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, [a building or grounds where the President or other person protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting] … or conspires to do so, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b).
Then, in section (b) the punishment is clearly defined:
[insert section (b)]
(1) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both, if—
(A)the person uses or carries a deadly or dangerous weapon or firearm; or
(B)the offense results in significant bodily injury
(2) in any other case, a fine or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.
It’s time for Trump to get tough on the demonstrators. It’s gone way beyond fun and excitement now. Once these folks see they can get publicity, of course they will charge right into the breach.
I mean Trump’s attacker in Dayton – whose name I already forget – and that’s the way I want to keep it – was tracked down by CNN and is now a media star and given a segment to spout off!
This is not a good example for America’s future – would be assassins become instant CNN political commentators?
We now have people openly talking on public social media about attacking and killing Trump. Until this year, anyone who dared to make such a public comment could be assured that they would be getting a visit that day from several Secret Service agents and forever be on some sort of bad-guy list.
Sadly, this is stimulating a new American Jihadist alliance. Now they are even brazenly starting to use tactics like the European Jidahists – that is, threatening to assault white women. Look at these tweets associated with the Chicago shutdown just 3 days ago:
“Unreal. Rioters are now saying that groping female Trump supporters is OK, because - quote – ‘they are racist white bitc…s.’ "
And then, an answering tweet:
“This is what you sign up for when you support trump. No sympathy for them, I hope your wife is next.”
This sort of thing actually started 6 months ago when Republican consultant Rick Wilson said that the Republican donor class must find a way to “put a bullet in Trump.”
Then around Christmas time, John Kasich’s co-chairman, Pat Brady sent out a cheery Christmas message that the only way to stop Trump was to “take him out with a head shot.”
And these guys will be the first in line to talk about Trump’s incendiary language. Neither of these guys got fired. They are still working today!
Is this the face of the new Democrat party? Does the party of George McGovern really want to go down this road? Is this more like Ghandi, or is it more like Fidel, Stalin, Hitler and Mao – gain power at any price, then sack the peasantry?
You now have packs of demonstrators slash American jihadists - paid $17/hour to follow every Trump rally – funded by Soros. And at every stop in the Trump train, they pull in local fellow travelers who then learn the latest tricks of the trade.
This has got to be stopped. It might be that we just have to stop the rallies all together to let some steam out of the American Jihad. That would work.
But the Trumpers are having a great time at these rallies. They are fun! It would be dumb politics to shut them down.
Refusing to arrest just allows the steam to build – among both the jihadists and the supporting media.
As a direct result, the media has in the last 48 hours - coalesced on this new issue they think they can finally brand Trump with – as a promoter of violence in our society.
But what they can’t argue with is HR347 - signed into law by Obama.
I know Trump doesn’t want to do it, because he is a really compassionate guy – and ultimately he wants to win everyone over - but he has got to get tough.
Trump has to either start enforcing HR347 by having the cops arrest demonstrators, or in the end -- and only after a severe beating from the media -- shut the Trump rallies down all together.

Well, the first exit poll has just been reported by Politicon: Trump 57, Cruz 33, Kasich 7.
We will stay on top of this for the next few hours.
Last night, Newt Gingrich was on Bill O’Reilly’s show and told it like it is once again.
[insert]
Although Gingrich is trying to stay neutral, it’s obvious that he too is fed up with the bribery-based Congress system that is at the center of what passes for the American political establishment – both Republican and Democrat.
We have got to take this out somehow, someway and Trump is the only candidate totally self-funding his campaign.

Last week, Senator Jeff Sessions, sent out a list of 5 questions that he feels are the minimum bar for anyone running for the Republican nomination for President. The Alabama Republican has been my favorite Congressman since my Rep. , Frank Wolf retired last year.
Donald Trump was the first candidate to reply. Trump sets a high bar for other candidates to follow:
Question 1: How would you vote (or how did you vote) on fast-track, and would you support or oppose advancing a final trade agreement which enters the United States into a new international commission with binding authority on future United States trade policy?
ANSWER: I was steadfastly opposed to giving Obama his Fast-Track powers, and would have absolutely voted against it. This is one of the strongest distinctions between me and the other candidates in this race.
The Congress, apparently under the magical spell of donors, gave massive new powers to a President who has repeatedly abused his authority. The other candidates in this race actually fought on Obama’s side to give him more power to abuse.
As for creating a new international commission with authority over United States trade policy I am, again, steadfastly opposed. No foreign power should be given any control over the United States.
Yet the other candidates who supported Fast Track allowed President Obama to do just that. It’s not too late to save our sovereignty: when I win the nomination, I will put America back in charge.
Question 2: If the vote on the Trans-Pacific Partnership were held today, and you had a vote to cast in Congress, would you vote for it or against it?
ANSWER: I have strongly and consistently opposed the TPP. For decades, I have warned about how our terrible trade deals are killing the middle class. We are getting taken to the cleaners. My message on trade has been consistent from the beginning, and if politicians had listened to me years ago we would have saved millions of jobs, rebuilt our crumbling infrastructure, and saved trillions of dollars.
My candidacy is the only way to stop this terrible deal that will send our manufacturing – including our auto manufacturing – overseas.
TPP allows foreign countries to cheat by manipulating their currency, making it impossible for American companies to fairly compete. Yet other candidates in this race have voted in favor of the currency manipulation that is killing our middle class.
What our incompetent leaders don’t understand is that the United States holds all the cards. Other countries need access to our markets. Yet we refuse to use that leverage, and we negotiate one terrible job-killing deal after another.
We buy from other countries, but they refuse to buy from us. Under my Administration, we are bringing these jobs back to America. No more one-sided deals.
Stopping the TPP is a matter of economic security and national security. When I am the nominee, I will stop Obamatrade in its tracks and bring millions of new voters into our party — putting new states in play in the general election.
Question 3: Upon entering office, will you promptly and unconditionally terminate and rescind all of President Obama’s illegal executive amnesties – which provide work permits and entitlements to illegal aliens – including President Obama’s first executive amnesty in 2012, which remains in effect?
ANSWER: I will immediately cancel both of President Obama’s illegal executive amnesties, and all other unconstitutional executive orders. After my inauguration, for the first time in decades, Americans will wake up in a country where their immigration laws are enforced.
Question 4: A supermajority of GOP voters say immigration is too high. Every year, on autopilot, we let in another one million immigrants on green cards, 700,000 foreign guest workers, half a million foreign students, and 100,000 refugees and asylees. Historical precedent would be to reduce record-breaking immigration, rather than continuing to surge it beyond all historical precedent. Will you support legislation to reduce immigration numbers, and will you oppose legislation that would add to the number?
ANSWER: I will support legislation to reduce the numbers, and will oppose legislation to increase the numbers. I have laid out a detailed plan to accomplish this goal on my website www.DonaldJTrump.com. My suggested reforms include a requirement to give all open jobs to Americans first — instead of importing foreign replacements. This plan will appeal to voters from all walks of life by making it easier for workers in this country to find jobs and support their families.
It will also help minority workers, youth, and previous immigrants who face intense job competition from waves of incoming foreign workers. I also proposed a temporary timeout on Muslim immigration until we can figure out what is going on and get our security situation under control.

Good evening, I’m still reporting on

Good evening, I’m still reporting on the invasion.
President Obama is actually ramping up immigration of refugees from both Somalia and Syria in his last few months as President.
Since October, the United States has welcomed 23,428 refugees.
Last year, during the same period, Obama had brought in only 13,786.
Obama has set a target of admitting 110,000 refugees this fiscal year, according to Daniel Horowitz, senior editor at Conservative Review, and author of the new book Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest Through Immigration and the Resettlement Jihad.
However, Obama’s term ends in less than 4 weeks and Horowitz expects:
“Trump can block the roughly 80,000 who are scheduled to come in after he takes office.”
In other words, all of it as of Jan. 20th. The way the Immigration and Nationality Act reads is that the president has unilateral authority to shut down any form of immigration under any circumstance.
“Trump can easily shut down refugee resettlement through executive action on day one of his administration,” said Horowitz.
As Trump recently put it, come January 20th, things will be different.
One last thing; my daughter – whose name I will mercifully not mention – just gave birth to her first child and my first grandchild.
She has been suffering from intense migraines for the last 3 days and I’d like those of you who believe to include her in your prayers for healing and especially relief from her migraines.
God bless America and Merry Christmas.
