Well, if you’ve ever wondered what hell on earth looks like, have a peek at the socialist paradise of Venezuela. It’s enacted much of the “compassionate” socialist program Hillary endorses... Thousands are dying in hospitals due to a lack of doctors, equipment and medicine. There are drastic shortages of basics like food, clean water, toilet paper and electricity. Looting and rioting are rampant. Starving people are eating pet dogs and cats to stay alive. Socialism is literally killing Venezuelans en masse. And now Hillary Clinton’s top economic adviser wants that misery for you come 2017... When lunatic Hugo Chavez assumed power in 1999, Venezuela was Latin America’s richest economy, with the largest oil reserves in the world. But Chavez was a man with a plan. He believed his country was in need of “hope and change” in the form of a socialist revolution — give the people the power was his clarion call. He called his program “21st-century socialism”… but it was simply a rebranded version of “tax the rich” and mass handouts of “free” stuff like health care, housing and education. U.S. socialists like Senator Bernie Sanders, Sean Penn and Oliver Stone praised Chavez for his “courageous” and “compassionate” policies. But thinking adults who had actually cracked open an Economics 101 textbook knew how it was all going to end. Chavez wasn’t handing out freebies. Somebody had to pay for them. In socialism, that somebody is always somebody else. And as Margaret Thatcher said, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” When that happened to Chavez’s handpicked successor, Nicolas Maduro, he did what government schemers do when they run out of cash — he made more of it. The result? Venezuela’s currency has lost 93% of its value and inflation is set to reach more than 700% this year. So Maduro doubled down… He tried to tame his inflationary monster with price controls. The result? Producers in Venezuela can’t meet their costs. That’s creating mass shortages. And now more than 80% live in poverty. That’s how socialist fantasies always end: economic collapse rooted in mind-bogglingly self-destructive policies. And now Clinton wants to bring the “joy” of socialism to America. Hillary preached a lot like Hugo Chavez on the campaign trail as she promised free college, free universal health care and income redistribution to make things “fair.”That’s not by accident… One of her most influential economic advisers is Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize-winning economist who’s a big fan of the Venezuelan model. Stiglitz traveled to Caracas in 2007 to praise Venezuela’s economic programs and “positive policies in health and education.” That’s a tragic statement in light of the hellhole of starvation and death that’s been caused by a government pretending to take care of everyone. But what’s more tragic is Stiglitz now wants to force this insanity down our throats. You see, like Chavez, Stiglitz is a man with a plan. And his plan for Hillary’s first term is Chavez-style free stuff for all Americans. Buying votes and power could never be easier! But he’s not stopping there… In a recent report, Stiglitz called for “rewriting the rules of the American economy” in order to battle income inequality. And why wouldn’t he. He knows what’s best for 323 million people. How he going to do this? The tried-and-true way — more wealth redistribution, higher taxes, more regulation and an even more activist Federal Reserve focused on unemployment, not inflation. That means more of your hard-earned income out of your check, perpetual negative interest rates, and more man-made market crashes. That’s what’s coming in a second Clinton presidency. Of course, she and her husband would never have to suffer the consequences of her disastrous socialist policies. Hillary amassed a Gordon Gekko-style fortune of more than $150 million through her supposed self-sacrificing commitment to helping others. From 2001 to when she launched her presidential campaign in 2015, Hillary and Bill Clinton were paid off a staggering $153 million. How is that possible? Wrong question. How is that not possible? She is a card-carrying member of the Deep State’s backbench. Let’s recall how the “Clinton gets loaded” scheme works… She was “appointed” U.S. Senator from 2001–09, and then was carefully “moved” into Secretary of State from 2009–12. Hold on, what’s wrong with that? All that time spent in “public service” doesn’t pay $153 million no matter how you slice the cards. Plus, her girl-chasing husband wasn’t exactly managing a macro-event hedge fund during that span. And you sure don’t make that jack from a presidential pension. So how did they get their hands on a sum of money that African warlords running weapons would respect? Easy as pie. It’s not that hard to do when you pimp out your office to crony capitalists, despotic Middle Eastern regimes and Third World monsters tied to human rights abuses… all to line your own pockets with gold. Exhibit A: As Secretary of State, Hillary helped win approval for Russia’s state nuclear agency to buy a controlling interest in one of America’s largest uranium mines, despite the potential threat to U.S. national security. Not surprisingly, just after that, Bill Clinton received a $500,000 speaking fee from a Russian investment bank with Kremlin ties. You think that’s just a coincidence? Hell no. A job well done and she got paid — indirectly through Slick Willy, of course. Want more? Exhibit B: The IRS was suing Swiss bank UBS to get the identities of Americans with secret accounts. Hillary intervened and arranged a settlement to UBS’ swift benefit. Soon after, Bill, otherwise known as Lewinsky’s ex, received a tidy sum of $1.5 million to appear at a few UBS social events — to ostensibly chat up investment bankers about the optimal use of Tinder for dating younger women. Soon after, Bill, otherwise known as Lewinsky’s ex, received a tidy sum of $1.5 million to appear at a few UBS social events — to ostensibly chat up investment bankers about the optimal use of Tinder for dating younger women. Just another freak coincidence? Wait, it gets better… Exhibit C: Hillary presided over State Department studies that said the Keystone XL pipeline would pose very few environmental risks, and that her department was “inclined” to support the project. This enraged diehard environmentalists in Clinton’s own party who expected her to kill any pipeline. But what they didn’t know was that the Clinton tag team had scored a boatload of speaking fees from one of the Keystone XL pipeline’s largest investors: TD Bank. They paid Bill Clinton $1.8 million for who the hell knows what from 2008–11. So was this just another wild coincidence? The bottom line is there’s a direct connection between Hillary’s “public service” and the immense growth in the Clinton family’s fortune — easily projected to exceed $1 billion in the years to come. And it goes beyond just slushing millions upon millions directly into the coffers of Arkansas’ First Family. Hillary also used her State Department “service” to obtain at least $2 billion in “donations” (read: kickbacks) to the Clinton Foundation. If you recall, the Clinton Foundation began in 2001 with the purpose to “convene global leaders to create and implement innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.” That’s some seriously Orwellian language designed to confuse the stupid into submission. In reality, it’s just an international sovereign wealth fund the Clintons have used to cement their power and fund their jet-setting lifestyle. So Hill and Bill won’t be feeling any pain if she’s elected and her socialist policies fail. And when the inevitable societal collapse arrives, just be sure to keep your pets away from hungry neighbors.

Used to feed my kids gravy train until I noticed the waste it produced left bigger piles coming out than what was going in. Switched them over to Purina One lamb and rice and it eliminated the toilet clogs. Almost all the food gets digested. So, long story short, go with the lamb and rice for a nice, glossy coat.
Try their Salmon & Pumpkin mix.

I got a can of Salmon at the store Friday. It is skinless and boneless. There is quite a bit of salt, but that is no matter. Regular canned Salmon has loads of salt and has the skin and bones in the mix. The bones have been boiled so they are soft and edible. I was at a truck stop in Wisconsin and they had a poached Salmon on the food bar. It was some good eating. ;)
