The Turnout at a Clinton Speech Was So Bad They Had to Take Measures to Improve Optics

Things went from embarrassing to cringeworthy for Hillary Clinton when her speech at a Baptist convention in Kansas City.

Clinton was to be the keynote speaker at the National Baptist Convention USA, touted as the country’s oldest and biggest African-American religious convention. During her speech, Clinton quoted lots of scripture, and spoke about her background as a Methodist since childhood. She even took a moment to land a few hits about Donald Trump.

But while it all seemed great if you were looking at the stage, turning the camera around showed you a very embarrassing scene. The turnout was far less than anyone had anticipated, and empty chairs filled the majority of the room. In order to try to save the optics…

Lately Bill Clinton has been more than a little defensive about the nuclear powered grifting machine that is the Clinton Foundation and the moldering corpse stench of corruption that attaches itself to every Foundation effort. He was at an AFL-CIO event, another organization that is associated with grifting and corruption, and made this ludicrous defense of the Clinton Foundation
They even went after my foundation last week. Now that was really funny. Somebody asked me what I thought about it. I said, well here’s what I did. I was sort of Robin Hood, except I didn’t rob anybody. I just asked people with money to give it to people who didn’t have money.”

This is the biggest bunch of horsesh** to ever emanate from a man whose DNA was scientifically determined, via the blue dress sample, to be composed of…

Misleading Statistics on Income Inequality

Distorting for all the usual political purposes in an election year

.
Mark Twain famously said that there were three kinds of lies — “lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Since this is an election year, we can expect to hear plenty of all three kinds.

Even if the statistics themselves are absolutely accurate, the words that describe what they are measuring can be grossly misleading.

Household income statistics are an obvious example. When we hear about how much more income the top 20 percent of households make, compared to the bottom 20 percent of households, one key fact is usually left out. There are millions more people in the top 20 percent of households than in the bottom 20 percent of households.

The number of households is the same but the number of people in those households is…

The Liberals never understand because of their lack of common sense that Liberal (socialist) policies only boost poverty.  I truly hope the voters, especially the Blacks and Hispanics can see what the Dem’s are doing to this country.

Rent control will only further the state soaring housing costs.
Sacramento

I was perusing the real-estate listings for Palo Alto, California, and spotted a stylish, remodeled midcentury ranch house with a whopping 1,700 square feet on a postage-stamp lot for a mere $2.6 million. What a deal! There are great jobs all around that lovely Bay Area city, the heart of Silicon Valley and home to prestigious Stanford University. But imagine the income one would need to, say, put $700,000 down and make a $13,000 monthly housing payment.

Palo Alto is near the top of the food chain…
