Yahoo... WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton reported Friday that they earned more than $30 million combined in speaking fees and book royalties since January 2014, putting them firmly within the upper echelon of American earners as the former secretary of state seeks the White House again. Clinton's presidential campaign reported the income in a personal financial disclosure report filed with the Federal Election Commission on Friday night. The report, required of every candidate for the White House, showed the couple amassed more than $25 million in speaking fees and Hillary Clinton earned more than $5 million from her 2014 memoir, ...
Ageing White South African Mercenaries Bring Boko Haram’s Reign Of Terror To An End

With their roots in South Africa apartheid-era security forces, they do not fit the standard image of an army of liberation. But after just three months on the ground, a squad of grizzled, ageing white mercenaries have helped to end Boko Haram’s six-long year reign of terror in northern Nigeria. Run by Colonel Eeben Barlow, a former commander in the South African Defence Force, the group of bush warfare experts were recruited in top secrecy in January to train an elite strike group within Nigeria’s disorganised, demoralised army. Some of the guns-for-hire cut their teeth in South Africa’s border wars 30 years ago. But their formidable fighting skills – backed by their ...

In another attempt to expand the Republican Big Bunker, Rand Paul was in Detroit yesterday squinting at black youth. He did not speak to the youth about the evils of the minimum wage and how it hurts black youth hard. Instead, he talked about restoring voting rights to non- violent felons.

UK Elections: Business as Usual Triumphs by Stephen Lendman May 7 general elections approach. Britain is like America. It's all over before polls open. Monied interests win every time. Ordinary people lose out more than ever in modern memory. It shows in opinion polls. Only 16% of voters trust politicians. Why anyone besides well-off Brits do they'll have to explain. It doesn't matter who wins on Thursday. Torries and New Labour are even in polls. They're like Republicans and Democrats in America - two sides of the same coin, not a dime's worth of difference between them. Neither major party is expected to win a majority. Expect coalition government with ...

Carly Fiorina: No Path to Citizenship for those Who Came to U.S. Illegally The former HP executive draws a line in the sand on immigration. by David Knowles If Carly Fiorina becomes president, the immigrants currently in the country illegally would face an additional hurdle in their quest for U.S. citizenship. During a wide-ranging interview with Yahoo's Katie Couric, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO was asked if she favored providing a path to citizenship for the roughly 11 million immigrants in the country illegally. "I do not. Not for those who came here illegally and who have stayed here illegally," said Fiorina, who announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination ...
Proud to be a Republican?

It is one thing to be a genuine conservative or a libertarian-leaning conservative and identify as a Republican so you can get elected to office in the American two-party monopoly system. It is one thing to register to vote as a Republican so you can vote for what you think is the lesser of two evils in the Republican primary. It is one thing to hold your nose and vote Republican so you can keep those evil Democrats out of office. But it is another thing altogether to say that you are proud to be a Republican. Here is former Texas governor and GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry in his book Fed Up!: I am a proud Republican. As frustrated as I am at many in my own party for their waste ...

RT... US Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent lawmaker from Vermont, is set to announce a bid for the presidency on Thursday, Vermont Public Radio reported. He will reportedly run as a Democrat. Citing several unnamed sources, the news outlet said Sanders will make the announcement by releasing a short statement, with a campaign event to be held in Vermont a few weeks later. His campaign will focus on how wealthy Americans and corporations have gotten richer at the expense of the middle class, as well as strong opposition to the 12-nation international trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP.) Following the Thursday announcement, the 73-year-old lawmaker will become the ...

ISIS Excels in 'Marketing Campaign' for US Recruits: Report Monday, 27 Apr 2015 12:15 PM By Melanie Batley The Islamic State is conducting an unprecedented terrorist recruitment campaign that is successfully penetrating the United States, say U.S. law enforcement officials and terror analysts, according to USA Today. The militant group is using a sophisticated set of social media tools to gain personal "peer-to-peer" communication which is proving effective in drawing recruits from urban metropolitan areas to deep within America, a senior law enforcement official told the newspaper. "This is not so much a recruitment effort as it is a global marketing ...

The best comedian on the Las Vegas Strip on Saturday morning was Texas senator Ted Cruz. The first-term senator who was the first Republican to declare his campaign for the presidency in 2016 received a warm reception from nearly 800 attendees at the spring meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) at the Venetian Hotel. He gave a speech packed with jokes, one-liners and even a Jay Leno impersonation as he sought to sell a rather establishment audience on his viability as a candidate. The Texas senator emphasized his steadfastness on key issues. “It isn’t complicated to come to the RJC and say you stand with Israel,” he said. “Unless you’re a blithering ...

Jenny McCarthy, easily the finest female specimen ever to appear on estrogen-addled daytime-TV squawkfest The View, recently upset the eternally offended Gay Lobby by insinuating what most of the Western world has insinuated for decades—that Hillary Clinton has a taste for female flesh. Even though being gay is supposed to be cool, Clinton supporters balked and blanched and belched at the allegation not because being a Daughter of Sappho is a matter of shame, but because Clinton is on record denying it, which would make her a liar in the grand tradition of her husband. Assuming that Clinton does not die from herpes nor succumb to a fatal blood clot between now and 2016 when it is ...

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a likely 2016 GOP presidential candidate, is marching forward with his bold new pro-American worker immigration policy. He’s not afraid to push for a legal immigration system that doesn’t box out American workers with a massive influx of inexpensive foreign labor.
After first rolling out his new ideas on Glenn Beck’s radio program on Monday, Walker appeared on Fox News’ Megyn Kelly’s show to further elaborate on how he hopes to protect Americans economically from special interests pushing for a massive influx in cheap foreign labor from around the world.
“When it comes to immigration, as a governor I don’t have any direct role in that—but ...
Hillary Clinton Calls Henry Kissinger a Friend, Praises His Commitment to Democracy

Hillary Clinton has written a review of Henry Kissinger's new book World Order for the Washington Post; it's mostly boilerplate, but there are a few interesting lines: Kissinger is a friend, and I relied on his counsel when I served as secretary of state. He checked in with me regularly, sharing astute observations about foreign leaders and sending me written reports on his travels. Though we have often seen the world and some of our challenges quite differently, and advocated different responses now and in the past, what comes through clearly in this new book is a conviction that we, and President Obama, share: a belief in the indispensability of continued American leadership ...
Hillary Clinton: The International Neocon Warmonger

As the National Journal reported in 2014, even the pathetically weak anti-war left is not ready to reconcile with Hillary given her warmongering as Secretary of State. And with good reason. Scratching just lightly beneath the surface of Hillary Clinton’s career reveals the empirical evidence of her historic support for aggressive interventions around the globe. Beginning with Africa, Hillary defended the 1998 cruise missile strike on the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, destroying the largest producer of cheap medications for treating malaria and tuberculosis and provided over 60% of available medicine in Sudan. In 2006 she supported sending United ...

We’re seeing it all the time now. Every day we see and hear well meaning people who sound educated, they’re trying to figure out what is happening politically here in the U.S. as well as abroad. Some of these people study history, they sound smart, they speak intelligently about things and even sound convincing. There seems to be something missing however, or perhaps something is present in their speech them that prevents you from taking in the fullness of what they are saying. You search for what it is and if you are fully awakened you are soon able to quantify what is wrong with these people. These people who seem dead-on minus that one element that prevents you from thinking ...

It was the least surprising thing to happen since Taco Bell discontinued its “waffle taco.” Despite the endless buildup, Clinton opted for a much more low-key reveal than the presidential hopefuls who preceded her. ...

Rand Paul Has a Daddy Issue (VOTE TED CRUZ)

There’s probably no easier layup in Republican politics, no bigger no-brainer to utter without fear of consequence, than criticizing Vladimir Putin for his actions in Ukraine. Yet Rand Paul couldn’t quite pull it off without taking some friendly fire. The 52-year-old Kentucky senator, who will announce his outsider candidacy for the GOP nomination this week in Louisville, is a lifelong noninterventionist, but even he couldn’t abide Putin’s invasion of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula, and he joined the GOP chorus calling for retribution. “Putin must be punished,” Rand Paul wrote in a blistering March 2014 op-ed in Time—marking the start of his center-ward ...

About six or seven hundred hardcore conservatives gathered outside the new Houston campaign headquarters for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) last Tuesday, an event at which he showed off his presidential prospects as the first declared candidate for 2016. Cruz, the true Washington outsider, has had a hugely successful first two weeks as the first declared candidate for the White House—raising millions of dollars, hiring key staff, and building a formidable operation, all while sticking true to his aggressive conservatism. Cruz has shaken up Washington, the political class, and the media establishment by essentially proving since his announcement that contrary to inside-the-beltway elitist ...
WHY JOHN OLIVER CAN’T FIND AMERICANS WHO KNOW EDWARD SNOWDEN’S NAME (IT’S NOT ABOUT SNOWDEN)

On his HBO program last night, John Oliver devoted 30 minutes to a discussion of U.S. surveillance programs, advocating a much more substantive debate as the June 1 deadline for renewing the Patriot Act approaches (the full segment can be seen here). As part of that segment, Oliver broadcast an interview he conducted with Edward Snowden in Moscow, and to illustrate the point that an insufficient surveillance debate has been conducted, showed video of numerous people in Times Square saying they had no idea who Snowden is (or giving inaccurate answers about him). Oliver assured Snowden off-camera that they did not cherry-pick those “on the street” interviews but showed a ...
Ted Cruz channels Reagan: Media go bonkers, again

WASHINGTON – In the eyes of the political and media elite, presidential candidate Ted Cruz is far too extreme ideologically to win the nomination; doesn’t have enough support from party bigwigs; is hated by almost everyone and no one trusts him; uses distortive, misleading rhetoric; is venal and self-obsessed; says crazy things; is not actually very smart; and is everything that is wrong with modern politics. In the eyes of the political and media elite, Ronald Reagan was too extreme and too simple to win the presidential nomination; a potential disaster for the GOP in the general election; an amiable dunce who was shockingly dumb and cruel; an evil man with no care and no ...
