For those riddled with anxiety over the deeds and ultimate fate of Hillary Rodham Clinton take comfort please from Holy Writ
Psalm 94 (KJV)
God Is the Strength of His People
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
Lift up yourself, you judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They break in pieces your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
Understand, you senseless among the people: and you fools, when will you be wise?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
He that chastises the nations, shall he not correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall he not know?
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by a law?
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.

ReplyDeleteSo Frauline Hillary was "cleared" of wrong doings in that email scam. And now she is free and clear to continue her cornball rhetoric , and her lies. Including the scam about the Clinton foundation yadda…yadda…yadda…
ReplyDeleteIn short we are about to put another fool and lunatic in the Oval Office.
Will this country ever learn, before we self distruct?
FBI Director James Comey is scheduled to speak on this issue at 11:00 AM today, Wanda.
DeleteDon't you think it would have been a good idea to wait and hear what he has to say before making the conclusion you seem to have drawn?
As far as I know, H. Rodham Clinton has not yet been "cleared" of any of the possible charges pending against her.
That said, the State Department is certainly dragging its heels at providing subpoenas evidence that might works against HRC.
And wasn't THAT a sorry spectacle? SHEESH!
DeleteYou were right, Wanda, but I still think it would have been better to wait for the outrageously sad news to become "official."

ReplyDeleteWhile I tend to agree with the sentiments you expressed, the name you selected to represent yourself is offensive, and does not meet the standards required for participation at this blog.
DeleteIf you wish to contribute in future, please do so under an acceptable pseudonym.
As I read your post, with its biblical verse, I admit to feeling great apprehension as I think about the future of our great country . I too am concerned by the lack of truth, integrity, sincerity, and the willingness to address serious national issues. Our nation is left, again, with two individuals that fail to inspire trust, confidence, pride, or a sense of national unity. In short we are facing another national election with the choice being selecting the "lesser of two evils". Or to simply not vote. For the first time in my adult life I honestly may choose the latter. I cannot, nor will I vote for Trump. My conscience just won't allow it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post FreeThinke. Even though I am not religious in anyway It provoked thought and provided some additional clarity for me.
BTW, I hope you had a glorious Independence Day.
DeleteThough The Modern Mind, if we may call it that, has decided to reject the very idea that God might exist, and thus dismisses what-we-call His Word as "poppycock," a close inspection of the Holy Bible in its entirety reveals wisdom derived from intuition by the ancients that has in fact provided both the bedrock and root structure of what-developed-into Western Civilization.
When we loose our moorings, float away from our foundation and cut ourselves off from the roots that have sustained us for thousands of years, we ruin the structure that shelters us and gravely imperil our very existence.
"God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man south, that also shall he reap."
There's no escaping that no matter what.
Indeed there is much wisdom that can be gained from a reading of the scriptures. This I have never doubted. Having read both the Old Testament and the New Testament, as well as attending bible study classes and church, I know there is truth in much (however not all) that is found ib the scriptures. I simply came to the conclusion that for me God is not necessary to live a proper and ethical life here on earth. Truth is often intuitive, but the wisdom of the ages can and should serve as a guide.

I do not buy for a minute that the system has been "starved". Sophistry and hyperbole from the left is as offensive as it is from the right. Playing fast and easy with facts for the purpose of advancing a particular agenda is a big part of our nation's fiscal problems. Libberals need to do better if they think that they hsve such a clear shot of containing the White House, Which they do not!.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall anyone's saying the system has been "starved." I hope you return soon to tell us more about .what you meant by that.

DeleteOf course FreeThinke. Thank you.
DeleteI just googled this snd here were the results.
ReplyDeleteThere’s no doubt, Hillary Clinton called Paul Fray a “fucking Jew bastard.” If there were the slightest doubt, you can bet that vicious Hillary would have sicced her amoral $450-an-hour shyster David Kendall on every author, publication and news service that reported her anti-Semitic slur, regardless of how veiled and coy the media were about her vile outburst.
Without verification your report has no value.
DeleteBut let us suppose it is true for the sake of argument.
What possible good could you hope to accomplish by sharing such an unsavory-but-irrelevant tidbit with us here –– or anywhere else?
Do you think it could stop HRC from ascending the throne in November? I wouldn't bet on it, if I were you.
This is still the United States of America, and so far as I know it is still not illegal to express dislike of anyone for ANY reasons. It doesn't have to be a good one.

The FBI just exonerated Hellary, so with the Infotainment-Media Complex serving as the foul wind beneath her taloned bat wings, she is on her way to the White House, from whence she will lecture, scold and angrily berate us for the next eight years.
ReplyDeleteIf I had done what she did when I was in the military, I would have been court martialled, stripped of everything, Bad Conduct discharge, no VA benefits, not retirement, no nothing.
DeleteComey going out of his way to say this does not rise to the level of criminal prosecution was a gigantic wet kiss to the Clinton Crime Family and Professor O'Bungle's administration. They got to him.
We are now officially a banana republic.
Yes, I know. Very sadly it was to be expected, Silver. There appears to be no way for The People to get adequate representation from ANY branch of government anymore. The idea of Separation of Powers with three CO-EQUAL- but-INDEPENDENT branches of government seems to have disappeared with the tremendous rise in unaccountable power of The FOURTH ESTATE.
DeleteThe ENEMEDIA, as I insist in calling it, has FAR greater influence than ANY of the "official" branches of government. It probably started with the Nixon-Kennedy "debate," which gave the more telegenic JFK just enough leverage to defeat Richard Nixon –– with the aid and assistance of a massive number of dead people voting from their graves in Crook County, Illinois.
The ubiquitous Enemedia Influence along with the depraved "ENTERTAINMENT" industry have rotted us out from within through an inexorable process of cultural pollution which brings about the degeneration of Judgment, Morals, Taste, Sensibility, and Respect –––– for our Elders, our History, for High Culture, for genuine Knowledge, for Refinement, and for the accumulated Wisdom of Distinguished Voices from our Past.
I imagine that James Comey –– like Chief-Justice John Roberts before him –– was either THREATENED and INtIMIDATED or was in on it all along. As someone who called in said on the radio earlier this afternoon, "If the fellow Comey hadn't a a done what he did, he wouldn't even be able to get a job at McDonald's tomorrow."
Meanwhile, we had a report that one of the witnesses prepared to testify against H. Rodham Clinton had managed to "crush his own throat and DIE from his self-inflicted injury" before he could testify. What a COINCIDENCE, eh?
And how much credence do you suppose the ENEMEDIA is likely to give THAT?
BTW, I found your description of H. Rodham Clinton as a monstrous pterodactylian creature extremely apt and very amusing.
DeleteNow?
ReplyDeleteWe have been for the past 7 1/2 years, and you just woke up
The seeds go back further than just this President, and our Turd World-ization is a bi-partisan project.
DeleteComey went out of his way to provide top cover for Professor O'Bungle and his JustUs Minister.
He could have simply presented the information and left the editorial commentary to the partisans. They must have really put the squeeze on him.
"They must have put the squeeze on Comey?"
DeleteSure, but what you are talking about began LONG, LONG, LOOOOOOOOOONG before either of us was born, Silver.
The Long Slow March to Destroy the Existing Culture began with the advent of Marxism, itself, –– and it must be admitted the conditions that made us ripe for the Marxist assault in the first place. We can blame the rise of the Machine Age which gave us Dark Satanic Mills, Mass Production, Child Labor, the Advertising Industry, AND the GRIEVANCE Industry, if we like, but it goes much farther and much deeper than that. We must blame the evil geniuses who very cleverly found ways to EXPLOIT GRIEVANCES as a means so SEIZING POLITICAL and ECONOMIC POWER.
The revoting developments that took place in the SICK-sties were the result of decades of insidious machinations and noisy demonstrations by those who always MEANT to do us in in the name of SOCIAL JUSTICE.
The rest is what you lament so bitterly today.
No in ever imagined such wreckage could be brought about by INTELLECTUALS AGGRESSION and the willful, methodical DEBASEMENT of Art, Music, Drama, Literature, Literacy, itself, and Aesthetic Ideals.
This is nothing new under the political moon. Americans should be quite used to, and comfortable with, that which THEY have allowed to happen here.
ReplyDeleteSophistry, hyperbole, and demagoguery reign supreme in The United States of America. Sadly Americans will never understand that which has brought us to this place. Conservatives, liberals, republicans, and democrats alike bear responsibility for this. IMO.
Thank you for your consideration FreeThinke.
Our government is SO CORRUPT, that it makes me want to puke , when I think about what has happened to this country.!! America needs to take a stand and not put up with this mess.. So I guess that ifs alright if someone murders someone, and then just days "I didn't "intend" to kill him, it's ok? Or is it different for just a lilltle person in America the new Amerika?!
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone love a country and stand behind her when the see this happening.
And now half the country will go out and actually vote for this Lair for their President!
This is what happens when all branches of government are in collusion. The fix is cemented in when the corporations and the Infotainment-Media complex become full accomplices in the conspiracy.
DeleteThere is no going back now. There remains no competing power center to bring back balance. All we have to look forward to is the different factions tearing at one another over the scraps as the ship slowly sinks.
The criminals always turn on one another when they are back in the lair divvying up the loot.
The Military Industrial Complex. We should have listened to President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1960.
DeleteOh well. Time has cemented our current political realities. The more info available to us the dumber we seem to get as a culturally diverse nation of the immigrants we have always been.
"... [the] culturally diverse nation of the immigrants we have always been."
DeleteThat's where I think you are at least partially wrong. The bitterly DIVISIVE brand of enforced "Diversity" that plagues us today did NOT arrive until 1965 when a power-hungry cabal of Democrats ostensibly led by Teddy Kennedy decided to change our IMMIGRATION POLICY to begin admitting a preponderance of pointedly exotic, markedly foreign people –– most of them dark-skinned from cultures BOUND to CLASH with our basically Anglo-European Heritage and then-well-established American cultural norms.
That this was done DELIBERATELY as a PLOY to give Democratic legislative and administrative power a DEATH GRIP on PERMANENT INCUMBENCY cannot be doubted by any sane, non-liberal-progressive observer.
It was obvious that the government needed to act to force systemic discrimination, which was inherent in our system, to, to the curb and be swept away. But that is different in a sense from immigration.
DeleteI am pro immigration as we are, after all, a nation of immigrants. The color of a persons skin has little to do with the issue IMO. However, after having said this, I absolutely believe we were better served as a nation when immigration quota's were enforced, immigrants required a sponsor, and assimilation into our cultural norms was the anticipated and expected outcome. I refer you to TR's remarks on immigration, they can easily be googled.
Whether immigration policy change was a deliberate ploy to insure democratic dominance or popular conservative myth I do not presume to know, nor will I guess. The result of relaxation in immigration policy without a doubt benefited employers that gained by the increased availability of cheaper labor.
I agree we have an immigration problem. Where we differ is the proper way to handle the issue. As they say, the devil is in the details and therein lies the perpetual grounds for disagreement. Which I might add points up the importance of logical, well thought out, and rational compromise.
I think we both know FreeThinke that the compromise we need ain't going to happen.
President Obama owes General Petraeus a full presidential pardon.
ReplyDeleteSince gross mishandling of our nation's highest secrets is no longer criminal--FBI Director Comey said so--then Private Manning is being unlawfully and unfairly imprisoned. Edward Snowden did nothing wrong and should be able to return to Amreeka immediately.
Did Petraeus plead guilty? I believe he did. Wouldn't it be strange to pardon one who plead guilty?
DeleteThere is no doubt the FBI's decision is highly questionable. However we shouldn't compare apples to oranges.
It's a fact that Hillsry Clinton has been mixed up in more scandals than any other politician running for office, and that many of the scandals that plagued Bill Clinton were ialso involved with Hillary Clinton. And we saw what the outcome of the Bill Clinton, Lynch airplane meeting meant.
ReplyDeleteAnd now we are seeing what influence can do
Sharlit Roof said
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to answer your question about the poems. Hail Columbia is about the fight for Freedom and home rule. It gave us the liberty to lead our lives as we wish, govern ourselves and tax ourselves, make our own laws. If part of that latitude permits personal behavior others might find unacceptable, that is part of the rights we cherish as long as it does not interfere with another person's rights.
Each poem stands on its own and there is little comparison. In my view, the second poem may not paint the picture of the values we would like to see, but it certainly does not give me an image of a Tattered Flag. What could shred our flag would be the abolition of rights we have fought so hard to obtain and are now at stake in the campaign promises, LGBT rights, abortion rights, etc.
Donald Trump is not a politician but s very Davy business man and that’s what makes him the most appealing to so many angry Americans.
ReplyDeleteThis post has nothing to do with Donald Trump, but I have to admit you have piqued my curiosity: What in the world is a "Davy businessman?"
DeleteCould you have been making an oblique reference to Davey Jones hinting that The Donald would wind up dragging us under water and drowning us in the sea?
What DID you mean?
Sorry, FBI.... you missed the clear target. Shame on you. Today is just another "I did not have sex with that women" kinda day. At lease Bill was impeached. The Clinton Crime Family continues to screw America.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump and Bernie Sanders are right. It's rigged. Just look at the timing.
ReplyDelete- FBI investigates Hillary Clinton for 15 months.
- Then Bill Clinton secretly meets with Loretta Lynch on her plane. If not for an airport employee we would have never known of this encounter.
- Next day, Loretta says she will accept the FBI recommendations.
- Following day, FBI interviews Hillary for 3.5 hours.
- 3 days including a holiday later, FBI Director clears her of any wrongdoing.
- Same day, Obama/Clinton fly on Air Force One to campaign together for the first time.
This was orchestrated in advance.
Anybody else would be charged but the Clintons are above the law. Or Bill Clinton must have boned Loretta really good on her plane.
I am so disappointed in the FBI. I always respected their integrity. This looks bad for the FBI. It's clear Hillary Clinton was gross negligent and seriously careless with classified information. She should be charged based on what we know from the FBI Director. Another case of #affluenza for rich, white Democrats.
An excellent summary of the sequence of events that led to Mr. Comey's disappointing, probably disingenuous non-exoneration of H. Rodham Clinton.
DeleteI say NON-EXONERATION, because he really laid her out in lavender for a full thirteen minutes before pulling the rug out from under his own eloquent grounds for indictment at the last minute.
We may never know precisely why Mr. Comey acted as he did, but anyone but the most rabidly partisan Democrat should be able to see that his heart wasn't in it when he claimed there were insufficient grounds to carry out a successful prosecution.
I am not at all surprised that Hillary Clinton is NOT being charged after the FBI debacle and the incredibly BS speech made by that Coward FBI Director James Comey, who works under the direction of Loretta Lynch and the DOJ, but damn, I honestly thought a lot more of the FBI than this, that is, until today, when we all were totally shocked by his decision . We already knew in our hearts that she would get a Free Pass on these charges but to watch, and listed as our FBI director skirted through these charges with this ridicules explanation was mind boggling.
ReplyDeleteAnd he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord's vengeance be exacted sooner rather than later!
Thank you so much for making reference to Psalm 94, AOW. I posted it not to add fuel to the fire, so to speak, but to give those of us who are frustrated, disappointed, angry and frightened an authoritative source from which we may derive comfort and serenity.
DeleteGod may not do things as WE wish He would, but I think it's very important to remind ourselves that HE never fails in the long run, so WE must exercise great patience along with our faith, and to remember we need our faith MOST when the chips are down.
FT,
DeleteWE must exercise great patience along with our faith...
No argument with that.
But exercising patience does not necessarily mean being passive and just rolling over and saying, "Oh, well."
We're in a war -- with a government corrupt to the core.
Ehy don't you see it this way, why did Barack Obama throw Hillary Clinton under the bus and push for his vice president, Joe Biden, to be the Democrat nominee. And then, placate the far lefty socialists, who own the Democrat party, Obama would position Sen. Elizabeth Warren as Biden’s VP. That would be a really tough ticket to beat, since Joe Biden’s favorables, regardless of gaffes and such, are extremely high.
ReplyDeleteBut no matter what, how you want to see it, or what the result is James Comey just delivered a gift wrapped decision with a bow on it for Donald Trump.
A most unusual interpretation of events, Laura. I doubt if most of us conservative-libertarians see it that way, but I applaud you for taking a hopeful constructive view. Optimists are in short supply these days.
DeleteIt was amazing to watch Mr. Comey say that Mrs. Clinton did do what her critics said she did, but there will be no charges. Mr. Comey confirmed Mrs, Clinton did wrong and in another case would face discipline actions, but, he said, that's not what this investigation was about. If this went to a grand jury, would there be no charges?
ReplyDeleteMr. Comey also confirmed that hostile actors did get access to her server and emails. That is dangerous, especially since she was the Secretary of State for the United States.
This will not help Mrs. Clinton's negative ratings, which are driven by a lack of trust.
Prosecutors make these kind of decisions everyday and guilty people do go free. Elected officials should be held to a higher standard, especially officials as high up as Mrs. Clinton.
The public perception will be that Mrs. Clinton did nothing wrong, which Mr. Comey himself said was not true, she did, but perception is everything. I get tired of people doing whatever they want, legal, or not, and just saying, I'm sorry. That's letting them off to easy, and to many elected officials seem to be saying, I'm sorry, to often.
If Mrs. Clinton becomes president I expect some scandal. Her tendencies to bend the law is part of her working character.
Respect for the law just took another hit.
Just one more in a growing line of "affirmative action" presidents...
ReplyDeleteBut HRC is NOT a NEGRESS!
DeleteWhatever could you have meant, Thersites? };^)>
FT,
DeleteBut, remember, Bill Clinton was "the first black President." So the meme goes. Hehehe.
I'm sorry but as a Democrat and a Progresdive Liberal I think that Hillary Was dead wrong and she has a lot of answering to very important questions. How can she run on the FBI finding of gross neglegents, poor judgement and carelessness, and the possibility of being hacked? There is an awful lot of Hillary Hatred bound up in this. What I'm trying to do is separate that from the real issue of judgement.
ReplyDeleteI think that we need a new cadidate to run . She isn't going to get away with this one.
She knew she was going to run for president again. Why did she do the stupid things that she did and then lie about it....AGAIN! That's how I feel about it.
As someone said above, "Perception is everything in politics."
DeleteBy the time the enemedia gets finished spinning this in favor of Her Heinous, the average voter will assume HRC has merely been the victim of an unjust, unprincipled, mean-spirited "witch hunt" on the part of vicious Republican operatives who would –– and have –– done ANYTHING no matter how dishonest and even unlawful to try to unseat her.
Hillary will be perceived by most as a VICTIM of a corrupt, self-serving, partisan Republican Propaganda Machine.
From what I hear on C-Span's Washington Journal nearly every morning the average citizen is less aware –– and less intelligent –– than your average cockroach.
FT,
DeleteHillary will be perceived by most as a VICTIM of a corrupt, self-serving, partisan Republican Propaganda Machine.
By most Democrats.
But by most of the swing voters? I don't think so. In the past 24 hours, I've met more "converts" to Trump than I could possibly have imagined. I'm referring to never-Trump friends. Well, guess what? Now they're on the Trump train because it's the only way to hold the HillaryBeast to account.
TURN OFF THE ENEMEDIA!

So your chosen candidate was just accused by the FBI of being "extremely careless" with national security.. And all that you can say is that she should be more careful on the "Future"!
ReplyDeleteWell hopefully there won't be a "Future"
OFF TOPIC but RELEVANT in ITS OWN WAY.
ReplyDeleteThis was written for KID's blog, but his post encouraging us to look beyond the confines of this tiny little planet we inhabit, and study the infinite majesty of the Cosmos seems like excellent advice in this time of trial, travail and great disappointment.
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord which made Heaven and Earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved.
Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper. He is the shade upon they right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and even forevermore.
~ Adapted from the Book of Psalms and used as the text for an anthem by modern American composer Leo Sowerby
The psalmist might better have advised us to lift up our eyes unto the STARS and BEYOND. The incredible sense of AWE and WONDER we should feel at being confronted with what we do not, and cannot possibly ever, fully know might be intimidating to some, but I have always found it oddly reassuring.
After all, who am I –– who are ANY of us –– but the tiniest imaginable speck of dust in the unimaginable vastness of Creation, and yet I know that somehow I matter.
All that old business of "Not a sparrow falls, but that He notices it" becomes completely believable, and comforting when contemplating the magnitude of God's Creation.
And what better way to do that than to gaze with fascination and deep curiosity at the glory of and impenetrable mystery of Outer Space?
I don't have any anxiety over this. I am young enough that I will most likely live to see her supporters suffering the full brunt of her stupid, reckless and ultimately destructive policies. At some point, the party barge will start taking water, and the dullards living off of smart phones and hopium smoke will get one hell of a wake up, and I'll be there to laugh my asses off at them.

ReplyDeleteThe Righies feel really strong on the right today. "They wanted Hillary's head on a pike and didn't get it, so the entire US government is corrupt. "
------/---//------------------//------///------------////----//-
Oh WE got it alright!
I could see their point if it looked like a dirty investigation; but by all appearances, they played it straight up and cataloged her callous disregard for the law.
DeleteThe corruption part comes in when the Federal Government chooses not to prosecute because her ass is too big for the frying pan.
Our corrupt feral government wages selective lawfare on its enemies and lets its unindicted co-conspirators skip off unscathed. That is corrupt.
If Hillary Thought She Was Home-Free After FBI Decision, Paul Ryan Just Dropped a Bombshell on Her.. They just announced that there WILL be more hearings to come.
ReplyDeleteIf the GOOP stays true to form, Hellary's satanic powers will grow as a result of their 'hearings.' I can hear her cackling now...
DeleteHillary Clinton used poor judgement and was careless, but an awful lot of this piling on is attributable to Clinton Hate Syndrome
ReplyDeleteAnyone who doesn't instinctively recoil from Hillary Clinton is either a fiend or a fool. PERIOD!
DeleteWhere's there's THAT much smoke, there MUST be a fire in there somewhere.
The woman has the eyes of a reptile.
The words, "President Hillary Clinton" is enough to make me puke.
ReplyDeleteThe tarmac summit sent a signal. It is a signal to all of the hardworking FBI agents who have the goods on Hillary. The attorney general has made it clear what team she is on. The attorney general isn’t on the side of justice. She clearly wanted to be invited to the Democratic Pool Party on Labor Day
ReplyDeleteLes: Open your mind. Petraeus handed improperly-stored classified info to an Army Officer with a clearance, but not with a need-to-know.
ReplyDeleteHellary's careless practices--which violated federal statutes--let it all hang out for hostile hackers.
Petraeus's greatest downfall was that he played it straight up when caught and obviously didn't have the right connections.
As a libertarian, I shouldn't have to explain this to you.
