Clinton fact-checked on 'truthful' claim in email scandal

Hillary Clinton is getting hammered for saying on “Fox News Sunday” that FBI Director James Comey confirmed her statements on her email scandal were “truthful” – with one prominent fact-checker giving the claim four “Pinocchios.”

The former secretary of state cited Comey when asked to account for her repeated claims that she never sent or received material marked classified on her personal email account. When host Chris Wallace noted that Comey said those things were not true, Clinton disagreed.

“That's not what I heard Director Comey say … Director Comey said that my answers were truthful and what I've said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails,” she said.

The Washington Post Fact Checker picked apart that statement, ultimately giving it four “Pinocchios,” its worst rating for truthfulness.

Troopers Investigating DUI Nearly Hit By 2nd DUI Suspect

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Troopers directing traffic around the scene of a crash involving a suspected drunk driver in Wicomico County early Friday escaped with their lives when another suspected drunk driver slammed into one of their vehicles, authorities said.

Troopers were detouring westbound traffic on Route 50 near Walston Switch Road in Parsonsburg after a Chevrolet driven by a 26-year-old man, who was believed to be intoxicated, left the road and crashed into a tree about 2 a.m., Maryland State Police spokesperson Elena Russo toldWJZ in a phone interview.

About an hour later, while a tow truck was hauling the Chevrolet up an embankment, troopers were able to jump out of the way as a Ford Fusion driven by a 25-year-old man slammed into the back of a trooper’s Ford Explorer, Russo said.

Armed Citizen Receives Award of Valor for saving Ohio police officer

An Ohio man with a concealed carry permit was presented an award this week for saving a Mount Vernon police officer who was being attacked by a suspect.

Cpl. Michael Wheeler of Ohio’s Mount Vernon Police Department recounted Wednesday an incident last year when he was attacked by a homeless crystal meth addict. Cpl. Wheeler said the suspect knocked him onto his back and pinned him to the ground, The Federalist reported.

Cpl. Wheeler said the man was reaching for his firearm when Dylan DeBoard appeared with a handgun drawn.

“I wish a lot more of society would do what he did. There were people standing around, but they were just watching. I kept wondering why people didn’t do anything," the officer said.

When A University Goes Too Far...

A student in Texas is suspended for fifty-five days because of her post where she wrote All Lives Matter on Facebook yet SU doesn't suspend over a lynching drawing that was circulated on social media...

What's wrong with this picture?

Seriously, folks. The Radicalized Liberals are overrunning the country with this garbage and it has to stop. Attached is Breitbart News article about the incident at the University of Houston, where Rohini Sethi went on Facebook and corrupted Black Lives Matter with "All Lives Matter" in response to the Dallas Police shootings. (July 7th)

For her post, not only was she suspended but now has to go to a dippy diversity workshop and also has to issue an apology.

The University of Houston seems to take it upon itself to quash free speech! 
Sorry, but this is NOT WHO WE ARE! 

The university is clearly in the wrong here and should be sanctioned by their Board of Regents. They have opened themselves up to a world of trouble. College age people should look at these incidents when making decisions about where to go to college. It's a scathing and massive overreach on their part which violates students' First Amendment Rights as protected by our Constitution!

Should any other university get any bright ideas, warning: David Webb has come out and said this student needs to get a lawyer and sue the college! And, frankly, I wholeheartedly concur.

As for Texas, I expected more from you!

Traffic Stop in Rehoboth Nets Heroin

Tyrie J. Williams

Rehoboth- The Delaware State Police have arrested a Bridgeville man for heroin possession after a traffic stop near Rehoboth.

The incident occurred around 7:34 p.m. Sunday July 31, 2016, as a trooper on patrol in the area of Coastal Highway (SR1) southbound north of Shuttle Road observed a dark blue Mercedes-Benz E32 traveling at an apparent high rate of speed and failing to signal lane changes. The trooper conducted a traffic stop in the parking lot of IHOP, located at 36670 Bayside Outlet Drive, where the operator was identified as Tyrie J. Williams, 24 of Bridgeville.  A computer inquiry into Williams' license revealed it was suspended.  An odor of marijuana was also detected coming from the vehicle as the trooper made contact with Williams, who was traveling with another male subject and Williams' 6-month-old son.

All of the occupants were asked to exit the vehicle while a search was conducted. A bag was located behind the driver's side floorboard, just in front of the car seat in which the 6-month-old was sitting.  This bag contained a plastic jar normally used for baby formula with 507 bags of heroin (7.605 grams) as well as a glass jar with 34 grams of marijuana.

Tyrie Williams was taken into custody without incident and transported back to Troop7 where he was charged with Possession of Heroin, Possession with Intent to Deliver Heroin, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Driving While Suspended or Revoked, and various other traffic related offenses.  He was arraigned at JP3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on $62,500.00 cash bond.

The 6-month-old child was uninjured and turned over to the mother at the scene.  The other male passenger was not charged.

Theologian Wayne Grudem: Why Voting for Donald Trump is a Morally Good Choice

Some Christian friends tell me they can’t in good conscience vote for Donald Trump because, when faced with a choice between "the lesser of two evils," the morally right thing is to choose neither one. They recommend voting for a third-party or write-in candidate.

As a professor who has taught Christian ethics for 39 years, I think their analysis is incorrect, for reasons that I will briefly mention here and that I have explained in greater detail elsewhere:

I did not support Trump in the primary season, but now that Trump has won the GOP nomination, I think voting for Trump is a morally good choice because he will do more good for the nation than his opponent. I do not think Trump is an "evil candidate," but rather a good candidate with flaws.

If this election is close (which seems likely), then if someone votes for a write-in candidate instead of voting for Trump, this action will directly help Hillary Clinton, because she will need one less vote to win. Therefore the question that Christians should ask is this: Can I in good conscience act in a way that helps a liberal like Hillary Clinton win the presidency?

Clinton would quickly replace Justice Scalia with another liberal like Breyer, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan. This would give liberals a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court even without Justice Kennedy, and 6-3 when he votes with them.

But that is not all.

WikiLeaks Poll: 117,000 Votes, Trump Wins with 50%

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump won a WikiLeaks presidential poll with 50% of the overall vote, beating Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton by 28%.

While Trump scored 50% of the overall vote, Clinton won just 22%. Green Party candidate Jill Stein followed Clinton with 16% of the vote, and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson came last with 12%.

Can Hillary Be Trusted? Campaign Says We'll Just Have To Elect Her To Find Out

Doing diligence and background checks can be tedious, tough work so Democrats would prefer you just take their word for it. Take for example, Nancy Pelosi's famous quote where she assured voters on Obamacare, saying:

"It's going to be very, very exciting. But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."

And that turned out just fine, right? In fact, we recently highlighted the great success of Obamacare in a post which pointed out that certain providers were looking to impose 60% YoY premium increases in 2017. That's pretty good in a flattish real wage growth environment, right? Oh well, nothing we can do about it now that the bill has already been passed but at least now we know! Thanks, Nancy!

The Clinton campaign is now making an eerily similar argument for Hillary. When asked whether Hillary could convince voters that she could be trusted, her campaign manager, Robby Mook, suggested that voters will just have to elect her to find out. In a recent interview with Politico, Glenn Thrush asked Mr. Mook whether the campaign could really "move the dial on trust" with regards to Hillary. His response:

"I don't think people will fully appreciate who she is until, knock on wood, she's elected president."

So why get bogged down with endless, monotonous research on the various scandals surrounding the Clinton campaign? After all, as Tommy Boy taught us, "I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it." We might as well just elect her so we'll know once and for all whether she can truly be trusted. What could go wrong?

The full interview with Robby Mook can be heard below or the full transcript can be read here.

Donald Trump Protests Debates Being Held During NFL Games

Donald Trump is protesting how two of the three presidential debates between him and Hillary Clinton have been scheduled during NFL games this fall. And he is accusing the Democrats and Clinton of wanting it this way.

In a tweet, the Republican presidential candidate said he thinks his rival pushed the Commission on Presidential Debates to schedule the televised showdowns at times where many of his supporters, like working class white men, might be watching football instead.

“As usual, Hillary & the Dems are trying to rig the debates so 2 are up against major NFL games,” Trump tweeted.

But the Commission said Saturday they did not “consult with any political parties or campaigns in making these decisions.” The organization announced the upcoming debates on Sept. 23, 2015.

Sanctuary Cities Get $342 Million From Taxpayers

President Obama's Justice Department has coughed up hundreds of millions of dollars to so-called "sanctuary cities" that refuse federal demands for criminal illegal immigrants sought for deportation, according to a new inspector general memo.

In just 10 of 155 jurisdictions reviewed, taxpayers handed over $342.1 million in Justice grants to the law-breaking cities and states that have policies barring jails and police from cooperating with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. The IG said that is 63 percent of the funds available to all American cities.

The memo is likely to stir up the issue of illegal immigration and sanctuary cities in the presidential campaign.

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton has voiced support for the sanctuary effort in which state and local officials in mostly urban areas choose to harbor illegals with criminal records rather than comply with ICE requests to turn them over or even identify their immigration status. Donald Trump has called for an end to the practice.

Democrats Stand by Ex-DNC Leader Wasserman Schultz

Despite scandal, Democratic colleagues are standing by U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who resigned as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee following the email leak last week that greatly embarrassed the party.

"She'll rebound from it," Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, the third-ranking Democrat in the House, told The Hill Thursday. "I'm going to do everything I can to help her rebound from it."

"Debbie has so many friends who care about her, and she's gonna be just fine," said New York Rep. Jim Crowley, vice chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. "Debbie is a big person and she knows that this election is more important than any one of us — it's about helping elect Hillary Clinton."

But Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee officials made clear to reporters on Monday that she wouldn't be getting financial help from the organization in her re-election bid, because her district is considered safely Democratic, Fox News reported.

"I'd never underestimate Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She's a force of nature," Rep. André Carson of Indiana said Thursday. "Things happen in our careers, because we're human beings, but she is not to be underestimated. She still has a very bright future. This was a short block in the road, but I think she'll be back stronger than ever."

NY Teacher: How a Lockdown Changed My Mind on Guns in School

On July 29, Breitbart News spoke to Mary Anne Marcella, a New York City school teacher who explained that a lockdown at her school caused her to realize that the teacher’s ultimate defense is a firearm.

Mary Anne was teaching at the end of spring semester 2016 when the loudspeaker boomed, “We are in lockdown. This is not a drill.” It was the first actual lockdown she had experienced. And while part of her kept thinking it was not real — i.e., perhaps it was a false alarm — her training for such situations kicked in and she locked her classroom door, covered up the glass in the door, pulled down the shades on the windows and turned off the lights. She moved her 30 students to a corner away from the door and they waited together in the silence for nearly 5 minutes.

She asked herself different questions with each passing minute. At the 60 second point, her thoughts revolved around the self-assuring tendency that the alarm had to be false. Two minutes into the lockdown, she saw worry on her students’ faces and tried to reassure them. In do doing, she fought to be sure they could not see that concern was welling up in her too.

Trump Beats Clinton in Convention Speech Viewership

Two million more viewers tuned in to watch Donald Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland than watched Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia.

Trump’s address had 30 million viewers while Clinton’s had 28 million viewers, The Hill reported.

The Hill noted that these totals include only the top six cable networks and do not include viewer totals from C-SPAN and PBS, which are disproportionately watched by Democrats.

The Democrats had better overall viewership throughout the conventions than the Republicans, but Trump was a bigger draw at the end of the conventions.

Trump’s speech was by some accounts the longest acceptance speech in modern convention history, clocking in at about an hour and fifteen minutes.

No Confusion: Alcohol Causes Seven Cancers

There is "strong evidence" that alcohol causes seven cancers, and other evidence indicates that it "probably" causes more, according to a new literature review published online July 21 inAddiction.

Epidemiologic evidence supports a causal association of alcohol consumption and cancers of the oropharynx, larynx, esophagus, liver, colon, rectum, and female breast, says Jennie Connor, MB, ChB, MPH, from the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, University of Otago, in Dunegin, New Zealand.

In short, alcohol causes cancer.

This is not news, says Dr Connor. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and other agencies have long identified alcohol consumption as being causally associated with these seven cancers.

So why did Dr Connor, who is an epidemiologist and physician, write a new review? Because she wants to "clarify the strength of the evidence" in an "accessible way."

There is "confusion" about the statement, "Alcohol causes cancer," explains Dr Connor.

Public and scientific discussion about alcohol and cancer has muted the truth about causality, she suggests.

"In the public and the media, statements made by the world's experts are often given the same weight as messages from alcohol companies and their scientists. Overall messages become unclear. For these reasons, the journal [Addiction] has tagged this piece [her review] as 'For Debate,' " she told Medscape Medical News.

The use of causal language in scientific and public discussions is "patchy," she writes.

For example, articles and newspaper stories often use expressions such as "alcohol-related cancer" and "alcohol-attributable cancer"; they refer to a "link" between alcohol and cancer and to the effect of alcohol on "the risk of cancer."

These wordings "incorporate an implicit causal association, but are easily interpreted as something less than cancer being caused by drinking," observes Dr Connor.

"Stop drinking alcohol" is a catch phrase that could be ― but is not ― akin to "stop smoking," she also suggests.

"Currently, alcohol's causal role is perceived to be more complex than tobacco's, and the solution suggested by the smoking analogy — that we should all reduce and eventually give up drinking alcohol — is widely unacceptable," writes Dr Connor.

The newly published review "reinforces the need for the public to be made aware of the causal link between alcohol and cancer," said Colin Shevills, from the Alcohol Health Alliance UK, in a press statement.

"Research shows that only around 1 in 10 people [in the UK] are currently aware of the alcohol-cancer link," he said.

"People have the right to know about the impact of alcohol on their health, including its link with cancer, so that they can make informed choices about how much they drink," added Shevills.

The lack of clarity about alcohol causing cancer, Dr Connor believes, is related to alcohol industry propaganda as well as the fact that the "epidemiological basis for causal inference is an iterative process that is never completed fully."
