Where, oh where have all the liberals gone?  RR readers notice the recent absence of the Left from these comment streams, and they themselves are to blame.  Our leftwing neighbors do realize that RR has been and continues as the most welcoming and open opinion forum in these parts.  But every time they come to disseminate the best that their progressive side has to offer, it is quickly reduced to such a rubble (to capitalize on the term of art du jour) that they are left without a reasonable leg to underpin them.  And since both sides here are in the business of addressing the independent, the undeclared, the mid-roaders, they see the flaying of their ideas and arguments as a definite liability overall, and especially amplified in the weeks running up to the election.  Were their assessment otherwise – i.e. that their countered arguments had staying power – they would double down knowing in their heart that the intended audience would see through the weakness of the Right.  And the more such a dialogue could be continued, the better.  But, sadly for them, that is not the case.

In the meantime, can an elected candidate, supported by the Secret Service on the way to their gala swearing in ceremony overlooking Washington's impressive mall, be impeached for lying to the voters about their ability to discharge the duties of their just assumed office?

    Now the immediate question remains. Can the Trump campaign get the Deplorables comment back to front and center where it rightfully belongs, or is it going to be Hillary’s health 24/7 for the next two weeks? From what I gather, the press wants more and more health questions answered. Strike that. The press is seeking……drumroll please…..transparency from the Clinton Machine…..the Clintons themselves! Good luck. Incomplete half-of-the-story replies is all they will ever get from that woman, Ms. Clinton.
    The more lingering question is this the year Karma comes calling? Being obsessively secretive has served the Clintons well. Well because they won when the dust settled each and every time. This time lack of transparency may serve them ill. Even the press ain’t buying her “Feeling great, beautiful day in New York” comment in front of Chelsea’s pad if she really had pneumonia. That be a lie….to the press.
    Per normal, the Clintons’ problems are of their own making, but blame the Alt-Right and play the damsel in distress card. They may have to carry her over the finish line in more ways than metaphoric .

    The campaign keeps pressing the pneumonia diagnosis, but she has not had if for the last ten years. The Parkinson’s is a much better explanation and can account for the early falling problems. It can also account for her quick recovery after the 9/11 event, which would be possible after getting pumped up on El Dopa.

    Google tampering with election, favoring Hillary?
    In this exclusive report, distinguished research psychologist Robert Epstein explains the new study and reviews evidence that Google’s search suggestions are biased in favor of Hillary Clinton. He estimates that biased search suggestions might be able to shift as many as 3 million votes in the upcoming presidential election in the US.
    Biased search rankings can swing votes and alter opinions, and a new study shows that Google’s autocomplete can too. A scientific study I published last year showed that search rankings favoring one candidate can quickly convince undecided voters to vote for that candidate — as many as 80 percent of voters in some demographic groups. My latest research shows that a search engine could also shift votes and change opinions with another powerful tool: autocomplete. Because of recent claims that Google has been deliberately tinkering with search suggestions to make Hillary Clinton look good, this is probably a good time both to examine those claims and to look at my new research. As you will see, there is some cause for concern here.

    If Hillary has pneumonia why is NEUROLOGICAL Dr. Oladotun Okunola (Parkinson’s guy) always by her side? The name of the person, who was also the person allegedly photographed having a diazepam (valium) pen available to inject Hillary. Also, the guy that stepped up to the podium and advised Hillary to keep talking when she had a brain freeze. It is hard to tell, but he looks like one of the people helping Hillary to the van after the 9/11 event.

    Trump hasn’t solidly picked up any states but now has bare majorities in the battleground states of Florida, Georgia and Iowa. The RCP spread is down to 3.0 points in Clinton’s favor… before any factoring in of the latest health news.
    The mathematically challenged may want to consider the RCP spread is a trailing indicator as it includes older poll results.

    “I am aware of it and usually can avoid it.” Hillary Rodman Clinton.
    Boy, drastic events call for drastic measures. It took the DNA off of Monica’s dress for Bubba to stop the charade and now Hillary is starting to acknowledge a few things. It was not a stumble, it was a collaspe. And not the first, second, or third time. This time it is on tape.
    For Hillary to even consider a drop of transparency means it is desperate measures time. This may kill her chances and she knows it. So, she throws Anderson a bone with the usual “can’t remember squat diddley” attached. At least she is trying something besides denial, spin, attack. Baby steps is better than nothing. Boy, when this silly health conspiracy is all over. heads will roll. Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.

    From Zeroheadge–Submitted by Joseph Jankowski via PlanetFreeWill.com,
    Eight days after Board-certified medicine specialist and TV personality Dr. Drew Pinsky expressed his grave concern over Hillary Clinton’s health and the healthcare she was receiving, his popular show on HLN, the sister channel of CNN, was cancelled.
    Appearing on KABC’s McIntyre in the Morning, Pinsky said he and his colleague Dr. Robert Huizenga became “gravely concerned……not just about her health but her health care” after analyzing what medical records on Hillary had been released.
    Pinsky pointed out that after Clinton fainted and fell in late 2012, she suffered from a “transverse sinus thrombosis,” an “exceedingly rare clot” that “virtually guarantees somebody has something wrong with their coagulation system.”
    According to sources close to Pinsky, the medicine specialist had been asked to retract his statements on the democratic nominee’s health and also received a series of nasty phone calls and e-mails over the his comments.
    “CNN is so supportive of Clinton, network honchos acted like the Mafia when confronting Drew,” a source told Richard Johnson of Page Six. “First, they demanded he retract his comments, but he wouldn’t.”
    What followed, according to a source close to Pinsky, was a series of nasty phone calls and e-mails which were described as “downright scary and creepy.”

    The fact that Dr. Pinsky was asked to retract his comments, and even received “scary” calls and emails over what he said, can lead one to believe that it was indeed his concern for Clinton’s health that lead to his show being cancelled.

    It appears that someone was getting to close to the truth, Hillary has some sever health problems.

    “Rarely, but on more than one occasion.” “I am aware of it (condition) and is usually something I can avoid.it.” HRC.
    Boy, whenever the Clintons start contorting the English language, you know they lying. Aware of pneumonia and usually can avoid it? Usually something she can avoid? What condition? Usually can avoid what? Aware of what exactly? Aware of literally collapsing while standing up?
    Per the Clinton MO, asked and answered. Do like how she uses Anderson Cooper whenever she gets into hot water. No follow up. Asked and answered, right Anderson? Anderson? Isn’t he the first debate moderator?
    In the year of the 2016 Media, it took a foreigner (a Czek army member who came all way to the 9/11 Memorial services in NYC to pay his respects and show his solidarity with the United States) to video Hillary’s collasping again. Without that tourist walking around shooting pics and videos, we would have never known about the “pneumonia”. No way, no how. But Hillary is aware of this condition and can usually avoid….pneumonia?
    Guess we need to parse some more words to be aware of what she usually can avoid and what she is aware of and what she can’t remember. Just when I was hoping the leopard could change her spots.
    Transparency? “We have already met the standard of former Presidential candidates”. Hmm, guess that is all we are going to get.

    It just gets more amazing. Apparently Hillary just wanted some ‘privacy’ and her ‘campaign’ lied about her health.
    The McClatchy news service here ran on the front page that “Illness, deception common throughout presidential history”.
    So the right-wing nut cases are KKKrazy about her health until it turns out that they were merely pointing out the truth and Hillary was caught once again, again, again lying through her teeth and she does have a health issue that she lied about, except it was really just her ‘campaign’ that lied. And she just wanted some privacy. And those wing nuts made her do it, except she didn’t – it was her ‘campaign’.
    No wonder the lefties won’t show their faces here anymore.
    The MO of the left is now so pat and predictable.
    First – deny what the truth is and brand the folks that point out the truth as nut cases (or worse).
    Then – when the truth becomes so obvious that even fellow travelers start to question the party line,
    just start equivocating and shrug it off by stating that ‘everybody’ does it.
    I feel sorry for folks like Boardman who possibly once had intelligence and an ability to present rational arguments. Has he even announced his presidential choice? He’s now reduced to making troll appearances.
    This year’s presidential race will do that to a lot of folks who value their standing amongst their peers.
    Frightened of being laughed at by their circle of so-called ‘friends’, they go along with what ever the NY Times editorializes and hope they’ll still be invited to the next cocktail party.

    Sources: Tens of Thousands of Files from Clinton, Blumenthal Computers Available on Deep Web
    BY PJ MEDIA SEPTEMBER 16, 2016
    PJ Media has learned from multiple sources that the House and Senate Intelligence Committees may have access to the contents of an Eastern European computer, potentially Russian, and that hackers may have exfiltrated Hillary Clinton’s and Sidney Blumenthal’s unsecured files by first hacking Marcel Lazar Lehel aka Guccifer.
    One or more American whistleblowers recently informed the Intelligence Committees that the files taken by the unknown hackers are available at specific locations in the Deep Web.
    A congressional source who is familiar with the information says these documents are being called for now “the Russian files.” Getting them did not involve hacking Russians or anyone else, but rather locating the images that the files left behind while the unknown hackers moved them through the Deep Web. When Clinton associates thought they were deleting her files, they may not have realized that files leave images even in the Deep Web when moved by hackers.
    A preliminary review of the files indicated that they contain unclassified as well as potentially classified information, including one document relating to Benghazi that probably should have been highly classified and comes from one of Hillary Clinton’s private computers.
    Congress has learned that the FBI knew about the foreign exfiltration of that document from Clinton’s server weeks before Director James Comey announced his decision not to recommend prosecution of Hillary Clinton for her use of private email. Comey testified to Congress that Guccifer denied hacking Clinton and that Clinton was “probably” hacked, but did not allude to having received any information that she was hacked.
    “With respect to potential computer intrusion by hostile actors, we did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail domain in its various configuration since 2009 was hacked successfully. But given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence,” said Comey.
    A congressional source who has met with a whistleblower commented that “even a Hillary supporter should want the public to know what foreigners took from her private servers, especially if it is damaging to her. Otherwise the candidate could be blackmailed by a foreign power.”

    The bad news for Dems continues. USC/LA Times poll shows a 7% margin for Trump, virtually the same as Trump’s peak during the GOP convention. Dig deeper, all the news is bad for Clinton… while Black support for Trump is leveled out at 20%, Black support for Clinton keeps dropping.
    The only support centers for Clinton are households who earn less than $35k, women, and folks with BA or better, and they’re not trending up. One might also consider that women with Education or Sociology BA’s earning less than $35K hit all three of those.
    It would only take one big episode of Trump being Trump to lose it for him, so you Trump fans, don’t be slapping yourselves on the back just yet.

Not a surprising tactic considering the tape close ups that show her feet were literally dragged across the pavement and into the awaiting ambulance…er…awaiting emergency escape vehicle. Explains Cinderella losing her slipper before turning into a pumpkin.
    Birther? Well, there was a pamphlet accompanying Obama’s first book that all publicists use as a short bio to introduce the potential readers to the author. It said the author was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia. There is no proof that Obama penned the bio himself. Those kind of bio pamphlets also stated Lizzy Borden Warren was the first person of color to head so-and-so department at Harvard. Hmmm. But, if Mr. Trump says end of story, then I say end of story. It is finished. Nice try old hag.
    Miles to go before we sleep, miles to go. Another good time to remind the arrogant out there that it is “unwise to take off the armor before the battle begins.”

    This probably merits its own thread: Trump has named Williamson (Bill) Evers as the head of his educational transition team.

    I drove to Palo Alto one day in ’95 or ’96 to attend a public meeting he organized where both whole language promoters and detractors, and whole math promoters and detractors, when he and some fellow parent types in Palo Alto who were aghast at the collapse of math achievement in their local schools after Phil Daro Math v1.0 was unleashed in California’s schools. Evers was also a primary mover and shaker in Honest, Open Logical Debate (HOLD) that was the first parents group opposing the whole math and language (Constructivist) education “reformers”.
    Let me repeat an old factoid… the President of the NCTM at the time (a CSU math education prof named Jack Price) often repeated that white girls and minority girls and boys learned math best by discovery methods, and only white boys with high socioeconomic status parents learned math best by those bad old “practice makes perfect” traditional practices. In a pig’s eye, unless you discount the experiences in the far flung Asian nations who have produced such curricula as Singapore Math. Asians of both genders have shown real competence after solid, traditional math educations.
    Trump may not be my first, second, third… or nth choice for President, but this is truly stellar. If you hate him, at least take solace that math and language education will get put back on the tracks if and when he wins.
