Yesterday Elizabeth Warren said: “Donald Trump is a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud who has never risked anything for anyone and serves nobody but himself." 

It isn’t the first time she’s gone after him, pointedly questioning his business acumen, tactics and success.

The reason her commentary’s noteworthy is that she’s an unequivocal fraud herself. Formerly involved in a particularly unsavory aspect of real estate wheeling and dealing: property-flipping. Making her a monumental hypocrite to boot. 

Back on  May 27, 2015, Jillian Kay Melchior and Eliana Johnson @nationalreview.com, wrote: “Elizabeth Warren, today is a Massachusetts senator who has built a political career on denouncing the sort of banking titans and financial sophisticates who make a buck off the little guy. [However,] five months after purchasing Veo Vessels’ old home, Warren flipped the property, selling it for $115,000 more than she’d paid, according to Oklahoma County Property Assessor records."

Rising to political prominence in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, she crusaded against big banks. Dispensing “common-sense economic advice, she campaigned for the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, intended to shield people from the predations of the mortgage and credit-card industries, among others. In her 2006 book All Your Worth, co-authored with her daughter, Amelia, Warren lists as a top myth the idea that “you can make big money buying houses and flipping them quickly.” She has made a career out of telling people how to behave in financially responsible ways, and out of creating laws that will make it illegal for them to do otherwise.”

But, here’s the rub: “Warren bought and sold at least five properties for profit at a different time in her life, before the cratering economy and a political career made her a star. Her life story has been the subject of much interest, and her 2014 memoir, A Fighting Chance, chronicled her rise from humble beginnings in small-town Oklahoma and her struggle to make ends meet. It didn’t much mention, though, the early 1990s, years when her children were teenagers and she was once again happily married. These are years when she wasn’t yet the multimillionaire she is today, and, she has said, she was voting Republican.”

From there, several examples are provided, detailing the transactions and their makeup, such as the following: “In June 1993, Warren bought another foreclosed property in Oklahoma City, this one on West Wilshire Boulevard, for $61,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Because properties purchased from HUD are sold as is, and because foreclosed homes can have damage ranging from simple poor upkeep to stripped copper, “the only reason you do that is for profit,” says Steve Stout, residential field supervisor at the Oklahoma County Assessor’s Office.”

Other “flips” of hers make interesting reading, so here’s a link to the article: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/418907/elizabeth-warren-real-estate-profiteer-jillian-kay-melchior-eliana-johnson

On another ongoing matter, illegal immigration, pieces of the puzzle are now coming together to reveal why Democrats are so fixated on bringing as many as possible illegal’s into the nation as possible. 

And naturally, the story begins in the liberal haven of San Francisco.

Joe Schoffstall @freebeacon.com writes today: “The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is hoping that residents of the city who fear Donald Trump’s rhetoric and policy proposals will flock to the polls this November and support giving voting rights to illegal immigrants.

“Eric Mar, a supervisor in the city, put forth a proposed charter amendment on Tuesday that would allow illegal immigrants who have kids that are 18 years or younger in the public school system the right to vote in local school board elections, Fox News reports.” 

While the present foil blamed for the need to “protect” illegals is Trump, had he not arrived on the national scene it’s certain some other excuse would surely have been offered.  

Supervisor Mar put it this way: “With Donald Trump’s racist and anti-immigrant sentiments, there is a reaction from many of us who are disgusted by those politics. I think that’s going to ensure there is strong Latino turnout as well as other immigrant turnout.”

Thus, the encroachment into voting rights for illegals begins in a relatively benign way, school board elections. And then, step by step, like water dripping on a rock, the premise will be extended until illegal entrants attain acceptance across the board, voting-wise. Which has been the Democrat goal all along -to grow their numbers. 

On the other side of the coin, in May, Matt Drudge received more than a billion page views at 1,187,604,000, while the Fox Entertainment Group recorded 769,983,000. By comparison, The New York Times Company stood at 512,058,000.

Thus, if web readership is a valid indication of likely voters preferences, which it almost certainly is, the left is facing seriously shrinking audiences nationwide. 

The information was obtained from “U.S. Media Publishers and Publications – Ranked for May 2016”, posted by Joseph Schwartz  at Market Trends on June 9.

Next, a Facebook friend posted this today:

Bringing us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.

This one’s another complex example of why the FBI investigation into Bill’s wife’s email abuses is requiring so much time to complete. 

In today’s case, according to Matthew Mosk, Brian Ross and Cho Park @abcnews.go.com, via Drudge: “Newly released State Department emails help reveal how a major Clinton Foundation donor was placed on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board even though he had no obvious experience in the field, a decision that appeared to baffle the department’s professional staff. 

“The emails further reveal how, after inquiries from ABC News, the Clinton staff sought to “protect the name” of the Secretary, “stall” the ABC News reporter and ultimately accept the resignation of the donor just two days later. 

“Copies of dozens of internal emails were provided to ABC News by the conservative political group Citizens United, which obtained them under the Freedom of Information Act after more the two years of litigation with the government. 

Considerable research was done to produce the article, much of it involving several individuals on Bill’s wife’s staff. Therefore, a link’s included to the well-written piece: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/clinton-donor-sensitive-intelligence-board/story?id=39710624

And although it’s getting quite late in the game, the continuing question still needs asking once more: Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys reading this?     

That’s it for today folks.   

Adios
