Who Toppled the Tombstone of Hillary Clinton’s Deceased Father?

Their hate for the newly announced Democratic presidential candidate has no boundaries.

Vandals in Pennsylvania reportedly toppled the tombstone of Hillary Clinton’s late father, police said Tuesday night.

Employees at the Washburn Street Cemetery, in Scranton, Pa., told the Scranton Times-Tribune that the gravestone of Hugh Rodham, the deceased father of the newly minted 2016 candidate, had been overturned in recent days, in a vulgar incident that authorities suspect is vandalism.

“I’m not sure how else it would have fallen over,” Scranton Police Chief Carl Graziano said.

Rodham died in 1993 at the age of 82.

Authorities have since righted the fallen tombstone, cemetery caretaker Paul McGloin told the Times-Tribune.

“I hope this had nothing to do with politics because that’s just wrong,” McGloin told the paper.

Hillary Clinton to Announce Her Candidacy for President This Weekend

Some reports say the announcement will come at noon on Saturday via a tweet on Twitter,  but CNN is reporting that Sunday will be the big day when the former Secretary of State will make a video announcement.

Clinton has already filmed her campaign video, a person close to the campaign said, which outlines the central themes of her second bid for the White House. The message is intended to send a signal to Democrats that she intends to aggressively fight for the party’s presidential nomination.

A new epilogue of her book, “Hard Choices,” an excerpt of which was released Friday to the Huffington Post, offers a glimpse into why she is embarking on another presidential campaign. She writes about her new granddaughter, Charlotte, and calls for equal opportunity for her generation.

“Becoming a grandmother has made me think deeply about the responsibility we all share as stewards of the world we inherit and will one day pass on,” Clinton, 68, writes in the epilogue. “Rather than make me want to slow down, it has spurred me to speed up.”

The decision will sweep aside more than a year of speculation about her political aspirations and allow her to start making her case to voters.

Democrat Lincoln Chafee Wants to be President – Slams Hillary Clinton – Video

Democrat Lincoln Chafee has decided to maybe cast his hat into the ring for the 2016 presidential run and in the process, the former democratic governor of Rhode Island has something to say about Hillary Clinton, the number one Democrat vying for the top spot.

In an online video posted earlier today, Chafee – who was once an Independent and a Republican  – praised President Obama, saying the president has lead admirably. But his words for Mrs Clinton were… well, not too nice.

“I would argue that the decision to invade Iraq has destabilized the Middle East,” Chafee says in a second video. “As a senator I voted against the war authorization.”

He added that he believes the war with Iraq was “one of the worst decisions in United States history.”

Clinton, a senator at the time, voted to authorize military action against Iraq, a vote she says she got wrong.

Chafee also stressed international affairs during his announcement video, saying he’s “alarmed about the international instability, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. I don’t like where this is going.”

He said moving forward the United States “will need fresh ideas and the most skillful diplomacy in dealing with this ever changing world.”

Glenn Beck – “Jeb Bush is Hillary Clinton LITE” – Video

Glenn Beck went back to his home turf, Fox News, and was interviewed by his good friend and comrade, Bill O’Reilly on his recent comments about leaving the Republican party. And after detailing a long long long list of areas where he said the Republicans have failed him and the country, Beck then concluded that voting for another Republican like Jeb Bush, is like voting for Hillary Clinton.

He likes Ted Cruz for 2016 so that alone should give you an idea of where Beck is coming from. But listening to him detail some of the areas where Republicans have failed him, was wonderful. Beck listed immigration and Taxes as areas of contention with his party, and of course, included in his long list of reasons why he’s leaving the Republicans is Benghazi.

O’Reilly tried, but failed to convince Beck that voting Republican is the best way to go. Beck however, was adamant and concluded that voting for Jeb would be the same as voting for Hillary Clinton.

“Jeb Bush is Hillary Clinton lite”, Beck said, as Bill O’ once again lied to his audience with the unfounded claim that the economy was “pretty good” under George W. Bush. Bill O’ then accused Beck of living in “fantasy land!”

Watch the exchange below.

Poll: Hillary Clinton Destroys Chris Christie… in New Jersey

But then this is not real news. Chris Christie is so damaged in the state he governs that the governor in the Walking Dead would be more popular in New Jersey than Christie is.

A new Rutgers-Eagleton poll in New Jersey finds Hillary Clinton has a commanding 23 points lead on Gov. Chris Christie in a possible presidential match up, 58% to 35%.

Chris Christie’s presidential ambitions may have already ended. He’s probably the only one still thinking he has a shot in 2016.

Charles Barkely Likes Chris Christie in 2016

Not that anyone really cares what Charles Barkley has to say about politics, but someone did ask and Barkley of course, offered his opinion.

“I am paying close attention to the political situation,” Barkley said, when Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch asked him in a new interview for his thoughts about the 2016 presidential election . “I have always voted Democratic. But I like some of the Republicans this time around. I like Chris Christie. I like Jeb Bush. I like those guys.”

Asked about Hillary Clinton, Barkley laughed and said, “Well, I just told you I was thinking about voting Republican.”

“But I was very disappointed in Chris Christie the other day on the measles thing,” he said, referring to the New Jersey governor’s comments about vaccinations. “It is a shame that these guys are afraid of just answering the question and trying to make everyone agree with you.”

Barkley said he did vaccinate his daughter but did not appreciate how Christie started to change his position once he received “blowback” from the media. “I’m like, dude, your opinion is just your fucking opinion,” he said. “I don’t understand why you answer a question and think everyone is going to agree with you. You can’t live your life like that.”

Beating Up on Beyonce Pays Off for Mike Huckabee – Gets First Place in Iowa Poll

You got to face it. No one would be talking about Republican joker Mike Huckabee if it weren’t for his constant whippings on Beyoncé. The 2016 potential Republican presidential candidate even dedicated a part of his new book to the singer, insinuating that she is a prostitute and her husband, Jay Z, her pimp!

Well now, it seems that running on the Beyoncé platform is doing good for Huckabee. In a new NBC News-Marist poll, Huckabee is leading all potential Republicans in Iowa with 17 percentage points. Second is George Bush’s brother, Jeb Bush, with 16 and union bashing Scott Walker comes in third with 15.

Rick Perry, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham scrapes the bottom of the barrel with 4,2 and 1 percentage points respectively.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton leads all potential candidates with 68 percentage points. Vice President Joe Biden is a far second with 12 followed by Bernie Sanders with 7.

Poll: Hillary Clinton Still Leading the Pack for 2016

And in most cases, the former First Lady and Secretary of State is leading Republicans by double digits.

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that Hillary Clinton continues to maintain strong leads over any of her potential Republican challengers:

Hillary Rodham Clinton holds double-digit leads over potential Republican challengers Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney as the likely Democratic presidential candidate moves closer to entering the 2016 race, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds.

Although Clinton, Bush and Romney are all longtime politicians and members of political dynasties, registered voters are less likely to count that familiarity against Clinton. That is a good sign for Clinton, a failed 2008 presidential candidate and the focus of Republican criticism that her time has come and gone.

Clinton’s potential to make history as the first female U.S. president makes little difference to most voters and is a net positive for others.

The former first lady, U.S. senator from New York and secretary of state has said she is considering a second run for the White House. She joked about the anticipation surrounding her decision during remarks in Canada on Wednesday but did not offer hints about her thinking or the timing of a possible announcement. Democratic strategists say she is likely to enter the race in late March or April – some 10 months before the Iowa caucuses open the 2016 primary contests.

Clinton approaches the nominating season in a dominant position, leading Bush by 54 percent to 41 percent among registered voters and Romney by 55 percent to 40 percent.

Most Admired People of 2014 – Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton

I share this news with joy, not because President Obama is the most admired man in America or Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman, I share this news because it is sure to make some Republicans’ head explode!

KABOOM!

My job here is done.

Despite a rocky year for Democrats, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama and have both held on to their reign as the most admired man and woman in America, coming in with strong leads ahead of of Oprah Winfrey, First Lady Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin, Pope Francis and former President Bill Clinton, according to Gallup’s annual poll.

This is the president’s seventh consecutive year topping the “most admired” list – a not-so surprising feat as sitting president’s have typically held this spot.

Clinton, who is widely expected to announce a bid for president next year, has held the “most admired woman” title 17 times in the past 18 years – breaking the streak only once, in 2001, when then-First Lady Laura Bush snatched the top spot following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Hillary Clinton – “Yes, black lives matter”

I was getting worried there. The silence coming from the Hillary camp in regards to the nationwide protects going on these days, was deafening. But on Tuesday, Speaking to an audience after receiving an award from The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights in New York, Hillary declared, “yes, black lives matter.”

I can’t Breathe.

She wondered what Robert Kennedy would say about “the thousands of Americans marching in our streets demanding justice for all,” and “the mothers who’ve lost their sons.”

“What would he say to all those who have lost trust in our government and our other institutions, who shudder at images of excessive force, who read reports about torture done in the name of our country, who see too many representatives in Washington quick to protect a big bank from regulation but slow to take action to help working families facing ever greater pressure,” Clinton said, pivoting to the release of a Senate report last week investigating the CIA’s interrogation techniques after 9/11.

Clinton said that recent world events, including the mass murder of children in Pakistan and the siege in Sydney, Australia, “should steel our resolve and underscore that our values are what set us apart from our adversaries.”

New Poll – Mitt Romney Would Defeat Hillary Clinton for President

So according to this poll, Mitt Romney is not only giving other Republican candidates a run for their money, he’s also causing some headaches for Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic nominee.

According to a Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters, if the Republican primary were being held today, he would receive 19 percent of the vote. The only other potential candidate who would finish with double-digit support is former Florida Governor Jeb Bush at 11 percent.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to guess who his Democratic opponent would be. Yeah, it would be Hillary Clinton. According to the poll, she’d receive 57 percent of the vote. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is the only other potential candidate to receive double-digit support with 13 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners saying they’d opt for her.

As of now, Romney would give the GOP its best chance of defeating Clinton. According to the poll, he’d defeat her by one percentage point.

Clinton is ahead of every other Republican she was polled against.
