THE TWO FACES OF HILLARY CLINTON: CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT -- THE DEMOCRATS CHOICE FOR THE PRESIDENCY

From her days of corruption in the White House to her days of corruption in State Department, we have seen a corrupt and incompetent Hillary Clinton being protected by her closest friends and the mainstream media from the exposure that Hillary is a stone-cold liar, willing to do or say anything to gain or maintain political power. And then continue to lie some more when her duplicitous perfidy is disclosed.

She claims to be a champion on women, yet she created and operated the “Bimbo Squad” that denigrated and demonized honest women who were speaking out about her husband’s predatory sexual escapades. It was always the woman at fault, never the Horndog-In-Chief that disgraced the Governor’s Mansion in Arkansas and the Oval Office in the White House.

And, while she is expressing her concern for the hundreds of Christian girls kidnapped by an Islamic terrorist who heads the group Boko Haram, it is now coming to light that Hillary Clinton refused – in spite of urging by the FBI, CIA, the Justice Department, and the military to even designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization.

Hillary's State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as Terrorists

The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American government’s ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.

What Clinton didn’t mention was that her own State Department refused to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011, after the group bombed the U.N. headquarters in Abuja. The refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen senators and congressmen.

In May 2012, then-Justice Department official Lisa Monaco (now at the White House) wrote to the State Department to urge Clinton to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. The following month, Gen. Carter Ham, the chief of U.S. Africa Command, said that Boko Haram “are likely sharing funds, training, and explosive materials” with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. And yet, Hillary Clinton’s State Department still declined to place Boko Haram on its official terrorist roster.

“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn’t use. <Source>

Bottom line …

If this is what the progressive socialist democrats offer America as a presidential candidate, then our nation is well on the way to doom. There is little or no doubt in my mind that the progressive socialist democrats are a fifth column, attempting to bring about a radical transformation of America before destroying America from within.

Hillary Clinton is a lying, cheating, incompetent scumbag that also happens to be a communist. A perfect add-on to the Obama regime that saw the destruction of one-sixth of our economy with his failed legislation.

Enough is enough. Hillary Clinton is a douchebag who should be scorned rather than feted. There is no honor where she has stepped. Only lies, cover-ups, and more lies to cover-up the cover-ups.

P.S. As for Jeb Bush, two progressive RINOs and their crony capitalism were enough. While we don’t question the patriotism of the Bush family, they are far from the Reagan ideal of a conservative. If Jeb Bush is what the GOP will offer, we continue to be in jeopardy and without substantive conservative leadership.

OUTRAGE: Why are we electrifying Africa when our outdated electric grid is in sore need of repair or replacement?

Posted: 08 May 2014 01:22 PM PDT

What the hell is going on with our politicians who are openly redistributing taxpayer money to politically-connected special interests at a time when most Americans are experiencing a downturn in income, government services, and the burdens of the ill-crafted progressive socialist democrat scheme known as Obamacare?

Why are we electrifying Africa when our outdated electric grid is in sore need of repair or replacement? Especially when many African countries harbor Muslim terrorists and are totally corrupt?

H.R.2548
Latest Title: Electrify Africa Act of 2014


SUMMARY AS OF: 6/27/2013--Introduced.

Electrify Africa Act of 2013 - Directs the President to establish a multiyear strategy to assist countries in sub-Saharan Africa develop an appropriate mix of power solutions to provide sufficient electricity access to people living in rural and urban areas in order to alleviate poverty and drive economic growth.

Expresses the sense of Congress that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) should: (1) prioritize where loan guarantees to African financial institutions would facilitate involvement in African power projects, and where partnerships and grants would increase access to electricity; and (2) consider providing grants to develop national, regional, and local energy and electricity policy plans, and expand electricity access to the poorest.

Urges:

(1) the Secretary of the Treasury to use U.S. influence at each institution in the World Bank Group and the African Development Bank to encourage power sector and electrification investments in sub-Saharan Africa,

(2) the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) to prioritize investment in the electricity sector of sub-Saharan Africa, and

(3) the Trade and Development Agency to promote U.S. private sector participation in energy sector development projects in sub-Saharan Africa.

I can understand the economic benefit to the politically-connected American vendors and contractors who sell equipment and services to foreign nations – secured by American loans. But, I do not see anything that demands that vendors “Buy American” or account for the funds in a transparent public manner, or even insure that there is a real project at the end of the rainbow.

And, even more important, what is being placed in those funding bills … 

Overseas Private Investment Corporation gave a $20 million loan to Ukrainian Porsche dealership owned by Biden 'friend' and donor

In 2012, the Overseas Private investment corporation, or the OPIC, gave out a $20 million loan to fund a luxury car dealership in Ukraine. The OPIC uses tax payer money to fund American businesses...

Congress is set to vote today on renewing the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (the renewal is tucked into the "Electrify Africa Act"). OPIC uses taxpayer backing to finance and insure American companies when they set up operations overseas.

For instance, in 2012, OPIC approved a $20 million loan to help an American businessman build a luxury car dealership in Ukraine. Here's how OPIC described the project they were financing with taxpayer money:

The proceeds of the loan will be used to (i) expand Winner Import Ukraine’s automobile business, (ii) construct and operate “Winner Autocity”, which will have two new, state-of-the-art dealership facilities for Porsche and Land Rover/Jaguar automobiles, each of which will be “3S” (showroom, service and stock)

The car dealer, John Hynanksy, happens to be a good friend of Vice President Joe Biden and a donor to President Obama and Biden. When Biden spoke in Ukraine in 2009, he called out "my very good friend, John Hynanksy, a very prominent businessman." In that same speech, Biden said "Democracy and free markets work best when they deliver what people most want."

Sure enough, Jaguars and Porsches are probably what some people "most want." Now thanks to U.S. taxpayer backing, some Ukrainians have them!

Last time I looked Jaguar was located in England and owned by an Indian firm Tata Motors. Porsche, of course, is a German company. And, why would the United States be underwriting the import of luxury cars into what is essentially a Russian war zone – where the politics and property ownership can change at the drop of a cocked hat and bribery and corruption is a way of life.

Is opening a luxury car dealer in war-torn Ukraine in the best interests of America and American taxpayers?

At a time when Americans are paying $4+ per gallon of gas,  facing real inflation in the dual demons: the decline of the dollar’s purchasing price and the rise in the cost of goods, services, and taxes – why should we be supporting any business in a foreign land. Especially since much of the money generated overseas remains overseas and somehow eludes taxation for the benefit of Americans?

From the Winner Ukrainian website …

In 1997, our construction outfit 'Winner Construction' was founded. The new firm built the first Ford's showroom in Ukraine in the same year. And in 2000, our company's business was marked by an important event - Winner came in for status of authorized importer of Volvo in Ukraine. It is by dint of hard work and an ongoing perseverance that Winner succeeded as one of the leading businesses on Ukrainian automobile market.

In 2004, Winner procured a few challenging tenders from the internationally known key manufacturers and became an authorized Ukrainian importer for Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche after a while.

In November 2005, a new multi-brand concept dealership, Winner Automotive, was opened in Kyiv (24D Moskovsky Avenue), which is one of the largest in Eastern Europe.

2004-2007 became years of fast-paced development and acknowledgement of Winner’s work. Winner Imports Ukraine received a number of important awards and diplomas, and the brands successfully extended their model ranges with more and more new models that quickly won the hearts of Ukrainian people and became multiple-award winners in various automotive competitions and ratings. In 2007, the company celebrated its 15th anniversary.

2009 was a record year in terms of automotive market decline in Ukraine. The market fell by 74% - a record figure for Europe. In 2010, the automotive market remained practically unchanged, having grown by only -0.2%. Despite the hard times during the 2008-2010 recession, the choice of an effective business model, a well-defined plan of actions and a competent team of professionals helped Winner not only survive the difficult period for automotive business, but also become one of the leaders of automotive industry.

In May 2009, the construction of the new Winner Distributor Center in Kapitanivka, near Kyiv, was finished. The total site of this huge state-of-the-art center covers 3 hectares, while the building which has become the best-equipped facility of this kind in Ukraine takes up 8,000 square meters.

A jewel in the crown of Winner Imports Ukraine is the Pre-delivery Inspection Center of cars, that the company receives from manufacturers. This is the only PDI Center in Ukraine with the full cycle of service of top level cars “from A to Z”.

Winner Imports Ukraine’s new Distribution Center represents not only a financial investment but also a pledge to a business philosophy centered on delivering world-class performance. The new facility serves as an instrument to promote our unique approach to the automotive business.

2011 was a year of our new achievements. Certainly, credit should be given to all brands represented by Winner in Ukraine. The biggest victory in 2011 was the increase of Ford’s market share to 5%. This is the highest figure ever for Ford in Ukraine. Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo and Porsche set another important record by reaching 21.7% of market share in the premium segment and, consequently, significantly boosting sales. In other words, every fifth premium car registered in Ukraine in 2011 belonged to a brand represented by Winner.
Opening of the First Jaguar Ukraine Showroom was another milestone. At the moment this is the only Jaguar showroom in Ukraine, which emphasizes uniqueness of the brand.

In 2011, Winner Imports Ukraine significantly expanded the PDI Center in order to expand business, increase the center’s capacity and raise the level of aftersales customer service. The construction of a new dealership, Porsche Kyiv Airport on Boryspil highway, was in full swing.

In 2012, the company celebrated its anniversary - the 20th anniversary of Winner in Ukraine. The team really has much to be proud of - 20 years of success and leadership through professionalism, innovation, trust, quality and transparency.

2013 marked the next achievement. Despite the negative trend in the automotive market in general, the company has sold 14 721 vehicles, up almost 8% from 2012.
Ford and Land Rover have achieved the highest market share in the history of business development of the brand in Ukraine, at 5.2% in general industry and 12.9% in premium segment. Additionally, the market share of Winner in the structure of the premium segment also reached the highest figure in the history of Ukraine: 26.7%. This is a very important indicator of the quality of business. Another achievement demonstrated by Land Rover and Porsche was the highest sales in the history of brands in Ukraine.

A significant event in the life of Winner Imports Ukraine in 2013 was the signing of the contract with the Football Federation of Ukraine to support the National football team of Ukraine.

We are constantly growing and plan to start new projects such as a new bodyshop and a new customs warehouse. It all makes sense, because our aim is to become the best importer and distributor in Ukrainian automotive business, building upon our philosophy, new technologies, new processes, modern and state-of-the-art equipment, constant development and innovations. And we are confident we are strong enough to succeed!  <Source>

It looks like this company is prosperous and needs little help from the taxpayer – especially when so many domestic businesses are in need of financial assistance. So one might ask, why are they seeking loan guarantees backed by the U.S. taxpayer. Let the finance arm of the car manufacturers do the job and assume the political risk of operating in a country where special agreements with politicians and other special interests supersede written contracts enforceable in a court favorable to Americans.

Bottom line …

The United States is fast becoming one of the most corrupt political systems in the world. Not on a par with a Mexico and its oligarchs and lawlessness, but approaching the point where billionaire activists are destroying America from within with their wacky political beliefs and special interest deals. And it is not only the progressive socialist democrats and their RINO cohorts that are feeding at the public teat. It appears most politicians, local, state, and federal, are engaged in some form of quid pro quo with the socialist public employee unions or the special interests that fund their campaigns. The average American can only watch the decline of America play out on the mainstream media – the nightly news that rarely holds the Obama regime and its cronies to account for their corruption, lack of transparency and accountability.

It is not that I am upset that an American enterprise appears to be thriving abroad, it is that “We the People” derive little or no benefit from their success and are indemnifying millionaires should their property be confiscated by a foreign regime.

It is time to remove the corrupt progressive socialist democrats and their RINO (Republican In Name Only) cohorts from the Senate and House. It is time to embark upon true campaign finance reform that precludes unions and corporations – but not individuals – from stacking the deck against “We the People.”
