I give you all of an Ed Driscoll post today . . .

He has a neat 1-2-3 slapdown of our wannabe President HRC:

GLOBAL WARMING: IS THERE NOTHING IT CAN’T DO?

Shot: Hillary Clinton & Leftists: Urban Riots Caused by Environmental Racism.

Chaser: Zika Reminds Us That Climate Change Is a Women’s Rights Issue.

Hangover: As Americans Tire of Eco-Panic, Hillary Quietly Drops ‘Climate Change’ Rhetoric.

For good measure he adds:

That’s odd – just a couple of years ago, the former Secretary of State, who flew 956,733 miles during her stint at Foggy Bottom in part to allegedly fight terrorism, claimed in 2014, “Climate change is the most consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges we face.”



46% think refs tilt Hillary

That’s the word about the big debate.

Voters are pretty convinced the moderators at the presidential debates scheduled to begin tonight will be helping Hillary Clinton more than Donald Trump.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that a plurality (46%) of Likely U.S. Voters believes most moderators will try to help Clinton in the upcoming debates. Only six percent (6%) think they will try to help Trump instead. Just 32% say most of the moderators will try to be unbiased, while 15% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Trouble is, THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING.

Ken Trainor’s “Trump dilemma” revisited: What Bowman REALLY thinks . . .

But there’s time yet to answer his questionnaire on the matter. So:

1) What is your general opinion/assessment of Donald Trump? Savior of the nation.

2) Do you think he has the temperament to serve as president? Yes.

3) Do you have reservations about voting for him? If so, why? Have none but the usual when casting vote for any candidate, and there are a lot of them, which I won’t go into right now.

4) If you are considering voting for him, what are the main reasons? #1, he’s not the Democrat candidate. #2, he’s not Hillary. #3, he broke the laws of…

Clout bus contractor charged with hiding CPS payments from IRS

Her clout bore a familiar name:

The Sun-Times reported that the Rev. Jesse Jackson had twice intervened with schools officials on behalf of Jewel’s — last year and also in 2010. Jackson said he called CPS CEO Forrest Claypool in 2015 to defend the company because he’s known Lockhart for years, describing her as an “outstanding community servant” who often donated the use of her firm’s buses free of charge.

Free of charge not lately, in view of her $1.1 million earnings 2009 through 2011. Did Rev.Jesse also speak up for her when the park disttict hired her company after CPS fired her?
