In 1973 Mark Felt was the number two man at the FBI, and, using the name “Deep Throat”, he leaked the dirt on Watergate to the WaPo. Nixon had used the FBI to subvert justice, and Felt wasn’t going to let him get away with it. If he has a political descendant, the administration of Hillary Clinton could be a short one. She’s dirty, the FBI knows it, covered it up, and I’d wager a lot of agents are angry about it. Julian Assange is waiting. We will see.
I occasionally have the stomach to read a Krugman article in the NYT, and a few days ago he outlined the Clinton Agenda. It’s pretty exciting, and bound to succeed. He thinks she should spend more on social programs and infrastructure. That’s it. That’s the plan. Why didn’t I think of that? It’s brilliant. Clinton has no agenda and no plan. She’s Obama’s third term, and he’s as clueless as she is. No legislation of any significance will be passed. She’ll use the veto and executive orders, and issue a lot of regulations, but she won’t really accomplish anything. She’s drunk the climate change moonshine, and will do far more harm to the economy than good. Off the top of my head I can’t think of one thing she would do that would help economic growth.
The economy suffers from a lack of animal spirits. More small businesses are closing than opening. The market is stalled, and will probably nose dive if the Fed hikes rates, as it almost surely will. When the 2018 midterms roll around, the economy won’t help the party in power, the Democrats.
Race relations in this country are bad, and seem to be getting worse. The police are afraid to do their job, and crime is on the rise. It would be surprising if we don’t see more inner city riots. All it takes is one questionable police shooting. There seems to be an increase in random violence by blacks against whites. It’s a dangerous situation. It’s been, what, a month since a terror attack in this country? They were coming once a week there for a while. Maybe these jihadis aren’t so stupid. They were helping elect Trump, and they’re taking a time out. After the election they’ll be back at it. Not good for the administration in power.
I suppose the MSM doesn’t cover it much, but there is madness loose on college campuses. Lunacy. It just gets worse. Normal people, conservative or liberal, look at all this stuff and shake their head. But Clinton could never criticize them. They’re her crowd, and she’s complicit in all their antics. Ditto for the LGBT gang. The whole thing is crazy, but Clinton has to cheer it on.
Illegal immigration will be encouraged by Clinton, but there may not be a wave of it. The economy is, and will remain, too weak. But her refusal to enforce the law will catch up to her. And the refugees that she wants to bring to this country will have jihadists among them, and if that were exposed, and she’d be toast.
Lord knows what she’ll do overseas, but if past is prologue she’ll screw it up. I could go on, and on, but I hope you get my drift. All this crap is just about to hit the fan, and she’ll be standing in front of it when it hits. As the Democratic President, she, and her party, will bear the political responsibility. And you’re telling me that demographics are going to get her reelected?
What a waste this year has been. All the political events of the past two years have led up to this, the climax. But there is none, just a balloon deflating.
But the BBA Task Force steamed all the way up to 28 States, so it wasn’t completely wasted. And the terrain ahead looks clear. Article V is the way to go.
