APPARENTLY MEXICO'S LOOTING IN OUR OPEN
BORDERS IS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR LA RAZA HILLARY!
Obama expanded his power domestically far more
than any other president in memory. His executive action on immigration is a
good example of legislating from the bureaucracy by implementing policies
directly contrary to existing law and anything Congress would be willing to do.
The server scandal is a metaphor for the
old Hillary — opaque, controlling, paranoid, ruthless and power-hungry. It's
proof that she hasn't changed.
Now we have Candidate Clinton promising
even more aggressive executive immigration amnesty than Obama. Not only has
Hillary vowed to defend Obama's executive immigration actions, she said
"if Congress continues to refuse to act, as president I would do
everything possible under the law to go even further." She added, "That is just the beginning …" WILLIAM A. JACOBSON –

Clinton Foundation reveals up to $26 million in
additional payments
Clinton Foundation reveals up to $26
million in additional payments
The Clinton Foundation reported Thursday
that it has received as much as $26.4 million in previously undisclosed
payments from major corporations, universities, foreign sources and other
groups. THE OTHER “GROUPS” ARE THE MUSLIM DICTATORS WHOSE BORDERS HILLARY HAS
VOWED TO PROTECT AS WELL AS OBAMA!
The disclosure came as the foundation faced questions over
whether it fully complied with a 2008 ethics agreement to reveal its donors and
whether any of its funding sources present conflicts of interest for Hillary
Rodham Clinton as she begins her presidential campaign.
The
money was paid as fees for speeches by Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.
Foundation officials said the funds were tallied internally as “revenue” rather
than donations, which is why they had not been included in the public listings
of its contributors published as part of the 2008 agreement.
According
to the new information, the Clintons have delivered 97 speeches to benefit the
charity since 2002. Colleges and universities sponsored more than two dozen of
these speeches, along with U.S. and overseas corporations and at least one
foreign government, Thailand.
The
payments were disclosed late Thursday on the organization’s Web site, with
speech payments listed in ranges rather than specific amounts. In total, the
payments ranged between $12 million and $26.4 million.
The
paid appearances included speeches by former president Bill Clinton to the Nigerian
ThisDay newspaper group for at least $500,000 and to the

The foundation, which has raised
$2 billion since Bill Clinton left the White House, has emerged as a
political headache for Hillary Clinton amid recent controversies over
donations. The foundation, along with the Clintons’ paid speaking careers, have
provided additional avenues for foreign governments and other interests to gain
entrĂ©e to one of America’s most prominent political families. Some Republicans
have charged that Hillary Clinton, during her tenure as secretary of state, was
in a position to reward foundation donors.
Thursday’s
disclosure is one of a number of instances in recent weeks in which the
foundation has acknowledged that it received funding from sources not disclosed
on its Web site.
The
ethics agreement was reached between the foundation and the Obama
administration to provide additional transparency and avoid potential conflicts
of interest with Hillary Clinton’s appointment as secretary of state.
The
agreement placed restrictions on foreign government donations, for instance,
but the foundation revealed in February that it had violated the limits at one
point by taking $500,000 from Algeria.
Thursday’s
release regarding speaking fees follows earlier disclosures showing how the
lecture circuit has also made the Clintons personally wealthy.
Last
week, Hillary Clinton disclosed that she and her husband made around
$25 million since January 2014 from speeches; Bill Clinton also was paid
more than $104 million from 2001 through 2012 by delivering speeches.
The
Clintons reported that income on federally required personal financial
disclosure forms filed by Hillary Clinton as a senator, secretary of state and
now a declared presidential candidate.
But the
new disclosure indicates that the former president has also spent considerable
time speaking on the foundation’s behalf — 73 times since 2002.
Hillary
Clinton has delivered 15 such speeches, including one address to Goldman Sachs
and another to JPMorgan Chase. Chelsea Clinton, who has
taken
on an increasingly active role at the foundation, has collected fees for the
charity from nine organizations.
The
foundation did not provide dates for the speaking engagements.
Vincent
Salamone, a spokesman for the Office of Government Ethics, said this week that
speeches delivered by public officials or their spouses acting as an “agent” of
a charitable group in which the payment is made directly to the organization
need not be disclosed in financial filings of public officials.
Brian
Fallon, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, said that analysis explains why
the Clintons did not disclose the speeches while Hillary Clinton was a senator
and then secretary of state.
While
the Clinton Foundation has annually disclosed its donors since 2008, the
foundation said Thursday that organizations that paid for Clinton speeches have
not before been included in those lists because they were paying for a service
and not making a tax-deductible donation.
Craig
Minassian, a spokesman for the foundation, said the new release came as part of
the foundation’s continuing commitment to transparency. Nonprofit groups are
not required by law to release any information about their funders.
“In
addition to the more than 300,000 donors who are all listed on our web site,
posting these speeches is just another example of how our disclosure policies
go above and beyond what’s required of charities,” he said in a statement.
“Like other global charities, the
Clinton Foundation receives support from
“Like
other global charities, the Clinton Foundation receives support from
individuals and organizations across all sectors of society, backgrounds and
ideologies because they know our programs are improving the lives of millions
of people around the world,” he also said.
A
foundation official indicated the speech dollars have been disclosed as revenue
in annual tax filings to the IRS. The official indicated that the foundation
will now update the public speech list four times a year, much as it has said
it will do with other donors now that Clinton’s campaign has launched.
The
Clintons have indicated that they donate significant personal funds to the
foundation each year. The foundation official said that the couple have not
considered speech revenue to be part of their personal charitable giving, and
Fallon said they have never taken a deduction on their taxes for the fees.
There
was one entity clearly associated with a foreign government that provided
speaking fees, of $250,000 to $500,000 for a speech by Bill Clinton: The energy
ministry in Thailand.
The
U.S. Islamic World Forum also provided $250,000 to $500,000 to the foundation
for a speech by Bill Clinton, according to the new disclosure. The event was
organized in part by the Brookings Institution with support from
the government of Qatar.
In
addition, the list is studded with overseas corporations and foundations.
They
included the South Korean energy and chemicals conglomerate Hanwha, which paid
$500,000 to $1,000,000 for a speech by Bill Clinton.
China
Real Estate Development Corp. paid the foundation between $250,000 and $500,000
for a speech by the former president. The Qatar First Investment Bank, now
known as the Qatar First Bank, paid fees in a similar range. The bank is
described by Persian Gulf financial press as specializing in high-net-worth
clients.
The Telmex Foundation, founded by
Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, provided between $250,000 and $500,000 for a
speech by Hillary Clinton.
The
new data shows that a number of public education institutions paid the
foundation for speeches by Bill, Hillary or Chelsea Clinton.
Those speeches drew backlash on some campuses, as
universities paid hundreds of thousands to the Clinton
charity at
a time of rising tuitions and slashed university budgets.
After the academic sponsors, financial services and
health-industry-related firms heavily populated the list of domestic sponsors.

Another
possible explanation is that the Clintons don't believe voters will really care
that much. The renting of the Lincoln Bedroom to people who gave $5.4 million to the Democratic National Committee in 1995 and 1996 did no
lasting damage to Bill's approval ratings. Neither did the 1996 fundraising
scandal involving illegal foreign donations, which the Los Angeles Times
reported on just before the president easily won a second term.

started the assault
on the American middle-class?
NOPE!
“By the time of Bill Clinton’s election in 1992, the
Democratic Party had completely repudiated its association with the reforms of
the New Deal and Great Society periods. Clinton gutted welfare programs to
provide an ample supply of cheap labor for the rich (WHICH NOW MEANS OPEN
BORDERS AND NO E-VERIFY!), including a growing layer of black capitalists, and
passed the 1994 Federal Crime Bill, with its notorious “three strikes”
provision that has helped create the largest prison population in the world.”
