WE SHOULD ALL HAVE IT AS ROUGH AS BILL AND HILL…


I’m sure that we are all pretty well aware of the fact that when it comes to spending other people’s money liberals are able to do that with relative ease. But when it comes to the spending of their own, well, that’s a rather different matter altogether. Also I’m quite sure that many are aware of how it is that Hitlery has been thoroughly busted regarding her recent claims of being "dead broke" upon leaving the White House after eight years and even now being someone who is not to be considered as being "truly well off."

And have you ever noticed how it is that it’s only those on the left who can ever manage to earn their millions in the most honorable of ways. It’s only those on the right who are to be accused of having become wealthy at the expense of those folks described, by Democrats, as being the little people. And according to those on the left, the ONLY way a conservative can ever become rich is courtesy of something unsavory that borders on being illegal. Liberals, on the other hand, are as pure as the wind driven snow.

Which brings us to Hitlery and just how much the old girl has managed to bring in to the family coffers since she and her husband, ex-president ‘Slick Willie’, left the White House. Financial disclosures filed by Hitlery when she served as New York's junior senator and as secretary of state in Barry’s administration show her family earned more than $163 Million from 2001 until 2012. The disclosures also detailed the taxes paid by Hitlery and ‘The Slickmeister’ and how much they gave to charity during those same years.

During Hitlery's years in the Senate the disclosures, which were published by OpenSecrets.org,     included full tax returns filed by her and her husband. These returns detailed the Clintons' total income, charitable gifts they made, and their total taxes paid from 2001 through 2007. For those seven years, the Clintons earned total income of $108,817,646, the vast majority of which came from ‘BJ's’ speaking fees. They paid over $33 million in federal income taxes for an effective tax rate of about 31%. Frankly, I’m surprised.

After Hitlery left the Senate, and headed for the State Department, the public information about her finances became less detailed. Clinton's disclosures from 2008 through 2012 only include ranges for the amount her family earned from property and other investments. They also do not include full salary information, taxes, or the amount the Clintons gave to charity in this period. However, they do detail the amount the Clintons earned from speaking fees from 2008 to 2012, which was over $53 Million.

Though Clinton's financial disclosures from her years at the State Department do not identify her exact salary, this information is publicly available. As secretary of state, she earned a total of $785,700 in salary. Which is not a bad haul, I suppose, when you consider the fact that she accomplished next to nothing as secretary of state other than to allow the coldblooded murder of four Americans, including one of her ambassadors by a mob of rabid Muslims. Then, of course, there was also her rather famous ‘reset button’ with Russia.

Combining Clinton's salary at the State Department, her family's total income from her 2001 through 2007 tax returns, and the speaking fees they collected from 2008 until 2012, the Clintons earned a total of about $163 Million during the first 12 years after ‘The Slickmeister’ left the White House. This figure is just a minimum as it only includes the speaking fees the Clintons earned from 2008 to 2012 and does not reflect other sources of income including property, investments, and book royalties.

And Hitlery has presumably done quite well for herself since 2012, the last year covered by her public disclosures. She is now able to command what is a reported to be $200,000 in speaking fees on her media tour for "Hard Choices" which, while it has already earned for Hitlery an advance of more than $8 Million, isn’t exactly flying off the shelves. But whether the book sells or not doesn’t really matter, because like a true liberal she’s laughing all the way to the bank, and that $8 Million has already been safely deposited.

AMERICANS AND THEIR TWISTED FIXATION WITH THE CLINTONS…


Call me naïve, delusional, or just downright silly, but I keep hoping that the American people will wake up from whatever trance it is that they’re in, look at what’s happing in America, and across the globe, and ask themselves, "What the Hell were we thinking?" But I think I’m now finally coming to the realization that that is just never going to happen. Because even after all that has now occurred over just the last 5 years, and with Barry’s approval now down to 40 percent, people seem to only want more of the same as they clamor for Hitlery Clinton to run as his successor.

And I suppose something that is quite revealing, and says a lot about where we now are as a country is the fact that I recently read somewhere that ex-president, ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton, crook, pervert and accused rapist, is Americans' most admired president over the past 25 years. At least so says a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg Survey of 1,031 registered voters earlier this month that revealed 42 percent of the respondents picked the ‘Slickmeister’. While I realize that over the 25 years the pickings have been kinda slim, I was still disappointed in the choice.

As far as I’m concerned, the selection of old "BJ" as the most admired president of the last 25 years says much more about the American people than it does of old ‘Slick’ himself. But then, I suppose, it shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise since Americans routinely select Hitlery Clinton as being their most admired woman. Personally I simply don’t understand this weird fixation that the American people seem to have with this corrupt couple. But it’s one of the reasons that I hold out little, if any, hope that my country will ever again be headed in the right direction.

That the American people could actually bring themselves to bestow upon two slimy characters such as the Clintons any level of admiration is actually pretty disgusting. After all, it’s been pretty well documented that neither of these two ethically challenged individuals cares about anything other than themselves. They’ve shown time and again that they will leave no lie untold in their quest to obtain for themselves more money and power. Far from being worthy of admiration they deserve nothing but contempt. Personally, I don’t see how anyone could consider such behavior as admirable.

And a brief word about this poll. I think one could argue the point that it was rigged to come up with the result that it did. I mean let's do the math. Bush, Sr. was in for 4 years, ‘Slick" was in for 8, W was in for 8 and has been blamed for everything that’s gone wrong since he left office . And then we have Barry. There's your 25 years. What kind of poll is that? Kennedy stared down Russia, sort of, Ford ended his career by pardoning Nixon to get the country moving past the scandal, and Reagan got the wall torn down. But they happen to be outside the 25 year zone. So what’s left?
