      FFA, I wonder if IJ got some subsidies from Obama to keep printing stories like this. There is no way to make this turkey come out right.

      Speaking of dart boards, Hillary is going to give a “short” press conference today on her email issues. Might we expect the phrase -Part of the vast right wing conspiracy? How about – At this point, what possible difference does it make?

      Hey FFA, I saw an article today in GOP USA that Walker has secured Wisconsin as a “Right to Work” state. I am sure the unions are real happy about that. Also, Michigan and Indiana are now the same way. Only Minnesota, the goofy state is still union dominated. Illinois wants to go that way with Rauner leading the charge. Unions outlived their usefulness 50 years ago and only drive up the cost of doing business and force employers to move or go out of business.

        Everything I hear about Walker is for the good of the state, not some special interest group, not some segment of the population. Its all for the greater good. He operates on a balanced budget. He is not just giving it all away.

          If Walker keeps doing the right thing for Wisconsin, he will certainly be a huge target of the left and they will do anything to discredit him or try to mire him in a scandal. From what I have read about him, he is pretty squeaky clean personally. As the University fight song says – On Wisconsin.

            I am sure they dug in deep for the recall and could not come up with anything dirty. The Unemployment issue that exists surrounds Milwaukee which is controlled by the Dems. The mayor of Mil was the one they put up against Walker in the recall who is the same that lost to him in the General Election. When it became obvious Walker would win the recall, the Dem Nat Party pulled all funding and just abandoned any notion that Walker would get beat.
            So, let them dig again. I just hope the rest of the repubs will stay out of the way. Let him get the job done.

      Well, Hillary merely had to say that the email issue was just a matter of “Convenience”. Hmm! Doing email with an unsecure server with State secrets on it should be “convenient” for a Secretary of State. She said she had deleted all her personal emails, but her server will remain private and she gave all the 55,000 emails to the very trustworthy State Dept on printouts. I wonder how many boxes that took. That should be easy to go through, right? Nothing to see here, right. Her husband said we should just move on with the important business of government. Oops! the blue dress showed up and Impeachment right around the corner. I wonder how many State secrets China knows about now.

        Well, she has to be losing some sleep over this new scandal. Did you notice the bags under her eyes from her eyes halfway down her nose? Even Botox is no help now.

        She has a new title now. Deleter of the Free World!

          Do you care about facts?

          At the time Clinton was Secretary, the Federal Records Act didn’t require federal employees to use government accounts.

          The new regulations were not fully implemented until a year and half after Clinton left State.

          Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, who served from 2001 to 2005, used personal email to communicate with American officials and ambassadors and foreign leaders.

          “Personal email is “always” or “often” used for government business in their agency, according to 16 percent of survey respondents. One-third, 33 percent, said personal email is used “sometimes” or more frequently.”

            Good try Rosenblatt, but way off as usual. Do you know the difference between right and wrong? Have you heard about any hacker stories in recent months? Do you think a personal email account is adequate for the security of the United States? Did you know that Obama said to all government employees to only use the approved .gov email to conduct their business? Of course, this doesn’t apply to Hillary Clinton since she can do whatever she wants. She is going to find out what scrutiny is now. It does make a difference contrary to her beliefs.

            “Do you know the difference between right and wrong?”
            Yes.

            “Have you heard about any hacker stories in recent months?”
            Yes. THE STATE DEPARTMENTS EMAIL WAS HACKED (and everyone is saying Clinton should’ve used that one because it was more secure than what she used, which did NOT get hacked.)

            “Do you think a personal email account is adequate for the security of the United States?”
            Were all the emails encrypted? If so – yes. If not – no.

            “Did you know that Obama said to all government employees to only use the approved .gov email to conduct their business?”
            Yes, but this happened AFTER Hillary left office which was my only point.

            “Of course, this doesn’t apply to Hillary Clinton since she can do whatever she wants.”
            It doesn’t apply to her and anyone else (like Colin Powell) who used personal email before this became a rule/law because it wasn’t in effect back when they held that office.

            I have now answered all your questions and respectfully ask you answer just one in return:

            Hillary left office in 2013. If Obama first said to use only the approved *.gov address in 2014, would it retroactively apply to Hillary and Powell, or would it only apply to emails that are transmitted after Obama made the statement?

            Rose, I don’t really care who you are or what you do, rules are rules and they need to be followed. When a Govt official breaks the rules, they should suffer the consequences of their actions.

            Me personally, Hillary has been through so much in the political realm, I would think she has to be insane to run for Pres or any other office for that matter. Me, in that position, I stop working and enjoy my Gr Children. I drop out of site. Enjoy my privacy.

            “Rules are rules and they need to be followed. When a Govt official breaks the rules, they should suffer the consequences of their actions.”

            I agree with your point 100%. Republican, Democrat, progressive, liberal, etc. – doesn’t matter: all must follow the rules and reap the consequences of their actions if they don’t.

            My question to Agent was basically “How can we retroactively punish her for not following that rule when it wasn’t actually a rule until after she sent those emails and left office?”

            For what it’s worth (really directed at Agent and not you, FFA) – I think she’d make a horrible President and I will not support her if she runs.

            Rosenblatt – did you know that in June 2011 (while she was still in office) Hillary sent a cable to all diplomatic and consular posts asking them to avoid conducting official Department business from their personal email accounts? She also requested they not forward Department email to their personal email accounts because this was “prohibited by Department policy.” So in other words, she was doing herself what she told the people working under her not to do. This fits in totally with her image of thinking the rules apply to everyone else but not to her. She makes rules for others that she does not and did not bother to follow herself. Of course, if this or some future scandal (and she’s a Clinton – there WILL be future scandals) makes her presidential hopes go down in flames, that ought to make the liberals happy, not sad, because it would open the door for someone even worse (if that be possible) like Elizabeth Warren.

            Rosenblatt, forget when the rule was written. What ever happened to common sense for a government official to use a non secure server to conduct the country’s business? They used to call her the “smartest woman” in the world. She is just a stupid Progressive Liberal empty pant suit.

            Agent – I still don’t agree with Hillary’s actions and comments about this situation, but saying she should’ve used the State Department email system because it’s more secure doesn’t make sense.

            What’s more secure to you: a site that gets hacked or one that does not? Hillary’s personal email system did not get hacked, but the State Department’s system did.

            The strength of the security does not depend on it being hacked or not. That just means one server was a larger target than the other.

            Rosenblatt, you said you wouldn’t have a problem calling Hillary out if she did misdeeds. Have you ever called her out on anything before? She does have a history you know. I will be watching as this scenario plays out and see how fired up you get. My guess is that you will be like Ron who said once – I have disagreed with Obama on policies.

            Again, with the overconfidence.

            You can disagree with Agent. You cannot start by saying:

            “Do you care about facts?”

            With how often you are wrong, and I call you out, I never start with “Do you care about facts?”

            That’s a question of character, not of facts.

            Do YOU even care about facts?

            In light of how I am using that, questioning whether or not you are capable of focusing on facts, or rather character, it is a relevant question.

    I caught her on the news last night singing that “convenience” song. I wonder if she heard that line from Bill – “She was under the desk You were in the other room. It was a matter of convenience”.

    Rahm is just beating up on Garcia. Chuy gave an interview with the local Fox News Station. He used terms like “New Revenue Sources (new taxes)” and “Creative Financing”. Rahm should have cleaned his clock in the first election. But that Murder Rate….

      Good one FFA. Obviously, she has painted herself into a corner on the lies routine. She said she had emailed her beloved husband numerous times and he said he didn’t use email and only sent two when he was President. I guess they didn’t check with each other to get their stories straight. No doubt this stinks to high heaven when the Clinton’s are involved.

      I saw a great political cartoon on Townhall today. Picture Uncle Sam with a cell phone in his hand. Picture of Hillary on the screen with a 2016 sign on front. Uncle Sam was about to hit the delete button.

      Using the .gov email server is supposed to preserve government records that can be retrieved, not hidden on a private server like Hildebeast is trying to do. The only answer is to demand transparency and get that server and go through it and see what was deleted. This is easily 100 times worse than Nixon hiding his tapes on Watergate.

      FFA, another story is out on the net that she was supposed to have signed a separation agreement that stated she had supplied all documents and info to the State Department as of her termination date. If an official fails to do that, they can be prosecuted and even put in jail. Oops! Two years went by since she left and all of a sudden, there are the mysterious 55,000 emails that are unaccounted for. Perhaps a prosecution is in order now and confiscation of the mystery server.

      Hey FFA. Looks like the Cowboys couldn’t sign Murray to a long term deal since they didn’t have enough wiggle room under the CAP. I guess they made history as the first team to ever lose a reigning rushing champion the very next year. I wonder if Jones asked Romo to give up some bonus to help them sign Murray. I would have preferred him not going to their biggest rival, the Eagles. The Eagles have really been wheeling and dealing. I guess they have been saving up on the CAP. Not sure dealing Foles for Sam Bradford was a smart move. Bradford has played very little the last two years due to repeated knee injuries.

      By the way, Murray is 27 and signed for $21 million guaranteed and for 5 years with total being about $40 million if he finishes the contract. In the “Not for Long league”, few running backs last after age 30. What has Chicago been doing? They have needs as everyone knows.

        I cant believe the Eagles signed hi after they signed Matthews and have Sporals. NO Shipping Grahm out of town?

        The Bears dumped Branden Marshal and picked up Eddie Royals. They picked up a safety and yesterday they signed a lineman. They are trying to address the LB issues, but as of now, I have not heard of any signings. There are rumors they are shopping Forte.

        I haven’t been paying much attention to the news again. Its the same ole same ole. Someone got shot. Some politician shot their mouth off. Add in Chuy vs Rahm. Except for the weather & sports, I don’t catch much.
