| The Secretary of State is making all sort of headlines lately, and most of them don’t have much to do with her current job. (A woman with limitless options who is desired by 90% of the Democrats.) The word has hit the streets that Hillary Clinton’s future is pretty much cast in solid gold plated stone. (Snip)I do not like Hillary Clinton. In fact, I pretty much despise her, and have for quite some time. I was angry at her during her time as First Lady when duties involving public policy were essentially handed over to a non-elected

Four years from now is an eternity in politics. A whole other generation of voters will be saying "Who?" to this craven, almost 70 year-old candiate with unwashed hair, poor hygiene, a horrible, documented track record of failure, and a crackling, grating voice.
No, I don´t think so.

No not Hillary, the Democrats will run minority presidential candidates from now on after their success with Barry, Maybe they will run a black woman next time like multi millionairess Susan Rice with investments in Iran, or, don´t laugh, Sheila Jackson Lee.
I agree with Reply #1. Four years from now at 70 Piaps will be too old, too wrinkled, and , who knows, might even be indicted for something by then.

I don´t like HC any more than the person who made the first comment. But I remember one pundit´s comment in 2008, that her nomination / election would mean a continuation of the Bush policies to a greater extent than any other Dim. And I remember in 1954 that the election of Eisenhower made some observe that we had an honorable man in the WH rather than the product of corrupt machine politics.
Ironic that some in 2016 some will tout HC as the candididate who would take us back to better times.

Don´t let up on Libya nor Whitewater and how the billing records were hidden in her closet in the White House.

So have several others from both parties. The SCOTUS can´t overturn the 22nd Amendment, it must be repealed by another Amendment passed by both Houses of Congress and ratified by 3/4ths (38) of the States.

For now Hillary WILL BE the next president no matter what. The press has already elected her. The only way this will change is if the DNC changes their fax blasts to the Fourth Estate with Van Jones (yes, I mean THAT Van Jones), et al, then he or whoever the DNC deems will be the next president. If you haven´t yet figured it out, elections are nothing more than window dressings from here on out. Saul Alinsky owns the country now and will until we´re taken out. And spare me with the "You´ve given up" nonsense.

It´s not a sure thing that the Democrats will nominate Hillary Clinton in the end, as look what happened last time when Barack Obama showed up out of nowhere. Remember the Democrats need a large black vote to win national elections. So if an Obama clone suddenly shows up and runs against Clinton in the Democrat primaries, and if the Democrats want to win the general election they might be forced to pick the black clone over Clinton to ensure that a big portion of their black base will not feel insulted if Clinton were to knock out their black candidate for the nomination.
The only way to get past that is to nominate Clinton with a black candidate, maybe Michelle Obama as VP on a Clinton ticket. The liberal media would then crow about Clinton winning in 2016 and 2020, with Michelle Obama then keeping the Democrats in the White House through 2024 and 2028.
If that liberal dream were to happen, the resulting progressive agenda would ensure that the USA would be an entirely different country indeed.

Hillary is a liar and incompetent in everything she does. She threw Mubarek under the bus and Mubarek was an American friend who kept the peace for 35 years. It should have been cleat to Hillary that the Muslim Brotherhood would be elecelected in Egypt with +70 of the popular vote. Now the Muslim brotherhood is arming Hamas and may be planning to declare war on Israel. It is going to be a tough summer in Israel. Hillary should stop planning to run for President in 2016. Hillary should retire, bake cookies and keep an eye on Bill before he exposes himself to a younger Paula Jones.

After seeing this nation elect Obama, I suppose it´s possible that they´d elect Hillary. But she´ll be 70 years old, and looking pretty ragged by then.
But with the MSM covering for her (cattle futures, Whitewater, her Alinsky-ism, the 900 FBI files, Huma Abedin, Benghazi, and so on), anything could happen.
Did anyone hear Ellen Degeneres asking Christina Aguilera about Hillary checking her breasts out? Christina Aguilera claimed to be equally entranced by Hillary.

There may be enough men in both parties to stop either Hillary or Michelle simply because they will never accept a woman let known two with such questionable members of the gender. Other than black women for a black I just don´t see the lady parts voters rallying around an old biddy or a dominant black female wanna be. From most the posts on L Dot since the election the GOP factions have to reclaim something missing in the courage and cooperation department to even make the first step into retaining freedom.

I am always amazed — amazed — when anyone has the gall to dismiss, even laugh off, the suggestion that the right to keep and bear arms is a smart and necessary provision for a free society. Human history (not to mention current events!) is too chock-full of examples of nefarious regimes violently abusing and controlling their people, and the freedoms enjoyed by American citizens are the exception, not the rule.

My mouth dropped when I found out. A teardrop tattoo can mean he murdered someone. So I hired someone else.

Andrew Breitbart has become an iconic and beloved figure on the right, so it’s hard to imagine his eponymous empire could be in danger of losing conservative support just one year after his passing. But if recent events are a harbinger of things to come, that’s at least a possibility. It all started last October, when BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins penned a controversial piece, arguing the outlet was “plagued by an unusual degree of disorganization and rampant infighting…” The report might have been easily dismissed, had it not been soon revealed that Breitbart.com’s Dana Loesch was suing Breitbart.com

And now the last of them is gone. Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Pope John Paul II—three who won the Cold War and, it isn´t too much to say, saved the West (at least for a while!)—are no longer with us. Their examples remain. They knew what they believed but also knew they had to justify their beliefs, and that one could adjust prudently to circumstances without yielding on principle. They stood firm when in power, and they took risks to get there, challenging the conventional wisdom and the respective establishments of their nations or institutions.

Frustration is taking its toll in the liberals’ war against guns. President Obama, pushing his broad gun control agenda, said we should be ashamed if we’ve forgotten the Newtown shooting so soon. The New York Times opined that Obama is being shouted down by the “gun lobby,” even though he and Biden had been crisscrossing the country “…making a forceful case for a package of laws that would reduce gun violence.” That, of course, is the media narrative on gun control. For every issue there is a narrative: a set of assumptions and boundaries of thought

Mr. Samson has found what he says are perfect replicas of the French general´s gray overcoat, he has studied Napoleon´s native Corsican tongue and he has had himself crowned emperor of France, in a cathedral yet. In 2015, he wants to lead thousands of military enthusiasts into the ultimate re-enactment: the 200th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo in Belgium. But an American rival stands in his way.

Is it time to give up the fight against Obamacare? That’s a question some conservative health-care experts, pundits, and — more quietly — politicians are asking. In the first years after its passage, opponents had hoped that the Supreme Court would strike down the law or that a new president would sign its repeal before most of it took effect. But the Supreme Court decided to modify a few of its provisions instead of striking it down, and President Obama was reelected. Repeal is almost certainly off the table for four years. Obamacare will continue to be implemented.

As the bipartisan Gang of Eight works to complete a comprehensive immigration reform bill, there has been a growing consensus among Senate Republicans that the bill — so far seen by no one outside the Gang — should be the subject of multiple hearings and extended consideration inside the Senate Judiciary Committee. But on Sunday there were signs that consensus does not extend to the Republicans inside the Gang. Appearing on CBS, longtime immigration reform advocate and Gang member Sen. John McCain suggested the immigration issue is so familiar to lawmakers that multiple hearings will not be necessary.

AS a Texas-raised journalist, I can tell you two things with confidence about my native state. One, its economy has been humming nicely for years. Two, this appears to greatly offend a certain breed of Northern writer, several of whom have descended on the state in an attempt to rebut stories of a “Texas miracle.” (Snip) “Texas has a long tradition of looking outside the government for support — and often finding it. That predates the Texas revolution and was reinforced by the rise of the cattle kingdom and the oil booms.”

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Chelsea Clinton has raised her profile in the last few days, which sparked the inevitable question about the former first daughter´s future: Will she ever be like Mom and Dad and run for office? Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary
