Hillary Clinton Seen Falling at September 11th Event – Video

The Democratic presidential candidate was caught on video today, apparently suffering a “medical condition” according to early reports.

Mrs Clinton had to leave a September 11th Memorial event early because she was feeling “overheated.” She was helped outside to the street by her handlers where she waited for her car to arrive. As she stepped off the curb to her car, Mrs Clinton is seen falling as her handlers held her up and placed her in the car. She lost a shoe in the process.

“Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen,” Clinton campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill said in a statement Sunday morning. “During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better.”

Donald Trump on Clearing the Rubble on September 11th – “I helped a little bit” – Video

Are you shocked that billionaire, Donald Trump, went down to ground zero after the Twin Towers in New York came down on September 11th? Well, we all are. Campaigning in New York, Donald Trump decided to remind everyone that he “helped a little bit” in the rubble clean up at ground zero after the terrorist attacks on September 11th.

“Everyone who helped clear the rubble, and I was there, and I watched, and I helped a little bit, but I want to tell you, those people were amazing, clearing the rubble, trying to find additional lives, you didn’t know what was going to come down on all of us, and they handled it,” Trump said.

The GOP frontrunner made the remarks at the same Buffalo, New York rally when he inadvertently referred to 9/11 as “7-11.”

Washington Post‘s Philip Bump noted that contemporaneous reporting indicated Trump certainly visiting Ground Zero after the attacks. New York Newsday wrote that the businessman appeared on the site two days afterward with “every hair in place and impeccably dressed in a black suit, pressed white shirt and red tie, walking into the plaza with his cellular phone to his ear.” This was the same day he gave this interview with a German TV station, where he was supportive of the search-and-rescue effort and optimistic about re-building, but made no reference to having personally helped out.

Congress Finally Approves Bill to Help 9/11 Responders

Thanks in part to the likes of Jon Stewart who, after his retirement from The Daily Show, made it his personal duty to fight the Republicans that blocked progress on the Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act,

Over 14 years after terrorists hijacked planes to strike the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, lawmakers on Capitol Hill cut a deal Tuesday to provide effectively permanent health care for the thousands of Americans who are now sick and dying because they came forward to help that day.

After remarkably difficult negotiations that prompted critics to create a #WorstResponders hashtag for Congress, legislators finally agreed to an $8.1 billion reauthorization of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, and attached it to the massive omnibus spending bill that will have to pass in order to fund the government.

The spending bill was expected to be posted online imminently Tuesday night, said a senior Republican aide who confirmed the 9/11 bill is included.

“This agreement is incredible news for our 9/11 heroes and their families, and it is a testament to the extraordinary power that Americans can have when they raise their voice and demand action,“ said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).

Donald Trump – 3 Reasons Why Bush Should Be Blamed for Sept 11th

A couple of days ago, I outlined my theory of why Donald Trump is attacking George Bush. My theory then was simple – this attack on the Republicans supreme leader is actually an exit strategy for Donald Trump. Trump believes that by attacking Bush, the Republican base would stop supporting his bid for the Republican nomination, his poll numbers will fall as a result and like he said earlier this month,”If I fell behind badly, I would certainly get out.” This attack on Bush Trump’s way to get out!

I’m starting to second guess that theory. I’m now thinking that Donald Trump is just bipolar!

Trump is keeping up his attacks on the man who presided over the worst terrorist attack in America, despite Jeb’s feeble claim that George “kept us safe.” In yet another interview, Donald Trump stated three reasons why Bush should be blamed.

No. 1: Bush’s immigration policy. “We had very weak immigration laws,” Trump said, adding that perhaps if Bush had a Trump-style immigration policy, replete with “the strong laws that I’m wanting, these terrorists wouldn’t have been in the country.”

No. 2: People knew that the FBI, the National Security Council, and the CIA weren’t sharing information about potential threats. “They were not talking to each other,” Trump said. “If I’m president, I want to have my three most important agencies talking to each other and coordinating with each other.”

And No. 3: George Tenet, Bush’s director of central intelligence, “knew in advance that there would be an attack, and he said that.”

“I don’t blame anybody,” Trump continued, after listing those points. “But it’s possible,” he continued, that had the administration had stronger policy on those points, “perhaps something could have been done that was obviously better than the worst attack ever perpetrated on the United States.”

Trump, the real estate mogul, and former Florida governor Jeb Bush have hurled vitriol at each other since Friday, after Trump pointed out during a Bloomberg News interview that “the World Trade Center came down during [former president Bush’s] reign.”

“They wanted to terrorize us, but, as Americans, we refuse to live in fear. Yes we face a determined foe, and make no mistake — they will keep trying to hit us again. But as we are showing again this weekend, we remain vigilant.”

George Bush To George Bush – Good Job On Getting Bin Laden

In an interview to commemorate September 11th attacks in New York, George Bush credited George Bush for the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

“The work that was done by intelligence communities during my presidency was part of putting together the puzzle that enabled us to see the full picture of how bin Laden was communicating and eventually where he was hiding,” he said. “It began the day after 9/11.”

Although Bush and his brainwashed supporters would go to the grave believing this, the facts just don’t support their position and even George Bush himself showed his carefree attitude when questioned about Bin Laden’s whereabouts.

In 2006, Bush told reporters that getting Bin Laden was not on his ‘to-do’ list, saying, “I truly am not that concerned about him. I am deeply concerned about Iraq, I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.”

But that was then, and this is now,  and with the new administration came a new purpose. That purpose resulted in the capture and killing of America’s most wanted terrorist, and now, Bush is ready to go down in history as the president responsible for getting Osama.

Can you say “delusional” ?
