Though today displays an absence of breaking news, one item confirms indisputable bias amongst the vast majority of outlets. Including the self-proclaimed “fair and balanced” Fox. 

Chad Pergram writes @FoxNews.com: “Politicians routinely decry hypotheticals. They indignantly proclaim they won’t answer a reporter’s speculative question because it’s contingent upon a “hypothetical” turn of events. 

“And yet, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was in full prognostication mode when she met with reporters Wednesday, divining what will unfold in American electoral politics next month. 

“Donald Trump is not going to be president of the United States,” Pelosi augured. 

“When asked later about Hillary Clinton, the Pelosi forecast that the Democratic nominee “will be a great president.” She also declared Clinton “will be the leader of the free world.” 

Proving to be in agreement with Pelosi, Pergram goes on: “It’s unknown if a Magic 8 Ball assisted Pelosi in her soothsaying. It is decidedly so. Signs point to yes. But she also predicted something else as congressional Republicans abandoned the top of the ticket to focus efforts toward preserving GOP majorities in the House and Senate. 

“Pelosi invoked the Republican gambit in 1996 when it became apparent former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kansas,  wouldn’t defeat incumbent President Bill Clinton. 

“Republicans started talking about ‘checks and balances.’ And you know what that translated into? Impeachment of the president of the United States,” she said.” 

In the article’s remainder, Pergram goes on to present the strategies and steps taken by Republican leadership to preserve their majority's in the House and Senate in the wake of Trump's assumed loss of his presidential bid.  

And then, at the very same time, John Merline headlined his article @investors.com: “Trump Up 2 Points Nationwide, While Clinton Campaigns As If The Race Is Already Won — IBD/TIPP Poll” 

According to the text: “With 16 days to go until November 8, Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 2 percentage points — 43% to 41% — in a four-way race, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll. 

“Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson saw his support held steady at 7%, while the Green Party's Jill Stein dipped to 3%. 

“Unrounded, Trump leads 42.6% to 40.8% — a 1.8-point edge — with Johnson at 7.2% and Stein at 3.3%. 

“Trump also holds a nearly one-point lead in a two-way matchup — 43.2% to 42.3%.” 

Most importantly, as mentioned here yesterday: “The IBD/TIPP poll — a collaboration between Investor's Business Daily (IBD) and TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence (TIPP) — has been the most accurate poll in recent presidential elections.” 

All of which goes to reinforce the significant probability that there truly is no way to accurately project the eventual presidential winner, with both sides having considerable evidence in each of their favors. And therefore, all the speculation means absolutely nothing until a victor’s declared on November 8th. 

 

Bringing us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife who suffered another blast from a Huma Abedin email that was among more than 4,000 posted Thursday by WikiLeaks.  

Bob Fredericks writes @nypost.com, that a newly leaked ­email reveals, “Hillary Clinton solicited a $12 million donation from a government that her State Department considered corrupt, then realized the “mess” it would cause in her presidential run. 

“King Mohammed VI of Morocco agreed to give the money to the Clinton Foundation, provided that it held a convention in his country in May 2015 with Clinton as the keynote speaker. 

“But Clinton realized that the conference, slated for a month after she announced her run for president, would hurt her candidacy."

In another email, Abedin warned that if Clinton didn’t attend, the $12 million would be off the table, writing in a January 2015 ­email to campaign managers Robby Mook and John ­Podesta: “Just to give you some context, the condition upon which the Moroccans agreed to host the meeting was her participation. If hrc was not part if it, meeting was a non-starter.” 

Abedin continued: “CGI [Clinton Global Initiative] also wasn’t pushing for a meeting in Morocco and it wasn’t their first choice. This was HRC’s idea, our office approached the Moroccans and they 100 percent believe they are doing this at her request. The King has personally committed approx $12 million both for the [foundation’s] endowment and to support the meeting,” 

“It will break a lot of china to back out now when we had so many opportunities to do it in the past few months. She created this mess and she knows it.” 

Additional details provide insight into the depth of Bill’s wife’s transgressions, whereas: “The meeting was officially paid for by OCP, a Moroccan government-owned mining company that has been accused of human rights violations. 

“Hillary Clinton supported the monarch when she was secretary of state, and the US-financed Export-Import Bank gave OCP a $92 million loan guarantee during her tenure, the Daily Caller reported. 

“Politico reported in 2015 that Clinton “was seen by [the Moroccan capital] Rabat as among its staunchest supporters in the Obama administration.” 

And, “The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice charged OCP with “serious human-rights violations,” the Daily Caller said.” 

All of which suggests that despite the Democrats continual ignoring of their candidates undeniably questionable activity, evidence mounts significantly each and every day that passes. And that, perhaps, is why voters may not be as dedicated to her as many polls seem to presently indicate.   

So, with 16 days still to go, the ongoing question can still be asked again: Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Jerry Brown, and Starbucks chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys are reading this?    

 

That's it for today folks.
