As Sec. of State, no problem, but president is different. Why? Because she has to get elected to be president.

Clinton Foundation president Donna Shalala says the charity would need to transition some of its work to other organizations if Hillary Clinton is president — even though it didn’t do so when she was secretary of state.

“When she’s president, there’s no process you could set up that would eliminate conflict of interest — so we actually have to reduce the size of the foundation and what it does,” Shalala, who was secretary of Health and Human Services under President Bill Clinton, said in an interview with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day.”
“What we have to do when she’s president is we have to actually eliminate any aspect of conflict of interest — so all the international programs are spun off,” she said.

Aren’t they careful about this when it suits them.

Let us now praise an insightful columnist. Ladies and gentlemen, Henninger:

Hillary Clinton’s comment that half of Donald Trump’s supporters are “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic”—a heck of a lot of phobia for anyone to lug around all day—puts back in play what will be seen as one of the 2016 campaign’s defining forces: the revolt of the politically incorrect.

A revolt that has many people’s shorts in a bunch.

Like borrowing more than all presidents before him, as Obama did? Like paying banks to hold idle funds, negative interest rates? Like what else that Trump might put an end to, leading nation into the crazy world of the sensible?

. . . we think she did, anyhow. But so did many others. So let’s build on that, she decided, and came up with quite a tale.

Mussolini here and here:

“Given that the nineteenth century was the century of Socialism, of Liberalism, and of Democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority … a century of Fascism. For if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the State.”

Socialism’s two legs:

“Socialism needs two legs on which to stand; a right and a left.
While appearing to be in complete opposition to one another,
they both march in the same direction.”
— Paul Proctor
American columnist

Spotting a red:

“How do you tell a Communist?
Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin.
And how do you tell an anti-Communist?
It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”
— Ronald Reagan
(1911-2004) 40th US President

Yes, the best, and nothing to be ashamed of.

Loved it. Essential to his goals.

An Illinois Blues moment here: Dem State’s Attorney candidate Kim Foxx has been working for a firm that has “often sued” the county and has given her $18,500 to help her get elected, Chi Trib reported Sunday.

 How better to illustrate the Illinois Ruling Party way of doing things? She’s been doing it for the year since she left County Board President Preckwinkle’s office — clearly, we may say, with intent to be the prosecutor representing the county.

 Made no never-mind. She plugged away at helping her colleagues with other work while they squeezed cash — $6 million here, $3 million there, etc. — out of the very county which in months she will be working for.

 Not a problem, she said. She promised her justice would be blind. “No conflict,” she decreed.

 The $6-million case was argued by Larry Rogers Jr., a $100,000-a-year man at the county Board of Review, which rules on property tax appeals. He was elected to that (side?) job — as a candidate of the Ruling Party, needless to say.

 He clammed up when taking a call from a reporter.

Asked whether she was working in any capacity at his law firm, Rogers said, “What now?” Then he said he had another call to take, adding that he would call a reporter back before hanging up. Rogers did not call back and did not return subsequent phone messages left for him.

I love that. Any other context, it’s called arrogance.

It’s how it’s done, however.

Foxx did her denials and promises Saturday after a union meeting where she spoke, privately.

Union spokesman Graeme Zielinski had advised the rally was open to the press but denied a reporter entry to the event. Asked whether Foxx was addressing the union workers as scheduled, Zielinski said Foxx would not be attending.

About 15 minutes later, campaign spokesman Robert Foley emerged from the Pilsen union hall to say Foxx was, in fact, inside giving a speech and would answer questions about her consulting work.

 She’s the people’s choice, the people of blue, blue Illinois, which has the blues.

It’s the candidate’s health, stupid.

Campaign dismisses it.

But the issue is that Clinton kept reporters totally in the dark for 90 minutes after her abrupt departure from the 9/11 memorial service for a health-related matter.

No reporter was allowed to follow her. (Clinton has resisted a protective pool for coverage because Donald Trump refuses to participate in one.)

This is, yet again, the Clinton campaign asking everyone to just trust it. She got overheated! But she’s fine now!

A week ago, this fellow dismissed the issue, he says. No more.
