Let me articulate this for you:
"I'm not locked in here with them. They're locked in here with me!!"

...as are the media. Trump may say things that are offensive to some, but, he doesn't deserve the global ridicule, labels, smears and jeers for simply wanting law and order. He says things - he hasn't done anything harmful - his good deeds go unreported while every word he says becomes a negative headline.
You'd think the civil lawsuits against Trump University were fueled by FBI investigations. On the other hand, there's a real possibility that the expanded FBI investigations into Hillary's server and the intersection of Hillary's public work and donations to her foundation may escape federal prosecution. All along the way, Hillary continues to hone her lying skills to a polished perfection, confident that she deleted the evidence needed to convict her of criminal corruption.
Hillary Clinton's campaign has held more fundraisers on foreign soil than any other candidate running for president in 2016.
The Clinton campaign has held at least 13 fundraisers overseas so far, involving celebrities such as jazz singer Tony Bennett and fashion editor Anna Wintour, according to tracking of political fundraising invitations by the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation.
Clinton's offshore fundraisers, which tap wealthy U.S. citizens and permanent resident living abroad, have spanned from London, where the campaign has held at least eight fundraisers, to Munich, Mexico City, and Durban, South Africa.
None of the Clinton campaign's foreign events, so far as the invitations suggest, have featured the candidate herself, though surrogates including her daughter Chelsea, have hosted the high-priced gatherings.
These “foreign nationals” include foreign governments, political parties, corporations, associations, partnerships, persons with foreign citizenship and non-permanent resident immigrants.
Overseas fundraisers are relatively common for leading presidential candidates, but hosting over a dozen events before spring illustrates the vast reach of Clinton’s fundraising machine. By comparison, according to Party Time, no other presidential candidate has any official overseas fundraisers to his/her name.

So people all around the world support her. Makes it easier to get allies together to support a war against ISIS or another common enemy, no?
No. And don't forget that Hillary's "support" is akin to quid pro quo. See secret server under FBI investigation.
And, no, it doesn't translate into global cooperation. Vladimir Putin says Hillary is "weak" and wants her to win the presidential election because he believes Russia would have a much easier time taking advantage of America with Hillary Clinton in the White House. He's still laughing over the "Russian reset."

Angela Merkel is being majorly challenged in Germany and in the European Union over her handling of the Syrian refugee crisis/migration. Perhaps Angela could give Hillary some advice on how to ruin a country by promoting open borders and a "welcoming" policy for third-world refugees complete with public welfare benefits? Here's Hillary in her own words...
Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton says she would most like to emulate German Chancellor Angela Merkel if elected to the Presidency in November. After being asked about the executive stewardship of foreign leaders in an interview with Time this week, Clinton gave glowing praise to the direction in which Merkel has led the European country.
“Well, I have to say that I highly admire Angela Merkel. I’ve known Angela since the 1990s, she and I actually appeared on a German TV show together,” Clinton responded. “I have spent personal time with her. She is, I think, a really effective strong leader and really right now the major leader in Europe, not just in Germany.”

and China doesn't respect weakness either...
Hillary Clinton is remarkably unpopular among officials and scholars in China. In Beijing, Clinton takes the lion’s share of the blame for many of the Obama administration’s least popular moves during her term as secretary of state, from the more involved U.S. stance on regional territorial disputes to criticisms of China’s human rights violations. Clinton’s proclivity to take thinly veiled potshots at China during visits to other countries (such as her speeches in Mongolia in 2012 and Tanzania in 2011) also added to Chinese dislike of her on a personal level.
When Clinton stepped down, there was a palpable sense of relief in Beijing. An op-ed in China Daily summed up the prevailing attitudes by comparing new Secretary of State John Kerry to Clinton. “Clinton always spoke with a unipolar voice and never appeared interested in the answers she got. Kerry understands the true multipolar nature of the 21st century world. He listens to the answers he gets,” the article said. To many Chinese analysts, Clinton has come to symbolize the worst aspects of U.S. foreign policy: hypocritical preaching on human rights and democracy issues; U.S. meddling in regional affairs where it is not welcome, and, most importantly, a lack of respect for China and its “core interests.”
So what does this mean for U.S.-China relations under a hypothetical President Hillary Clinton? To some, Chinese dislike of Clinton is more of a badge of honor than a hindrance. Under this viewpoint, it is better to be feared than to be loved when it comes to relations to Beijing. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop seemed to subscribe to this view when she allegedly told Fairfax Media that “China doesn’t respect weakness” (according to Chinese media, Australia’s Foreign Ministry later denied the remarks). Bishop promised that Australia would “stand up to China,” risking China’s wrath in order to win China’s respect.

How Putin’s Russia Gained Control of a U.S. Uranium Mine
Since 2013, the nuclear energy arm of the Russian state has controlled 20 percent of America’s uranium production capacity.
Rosatom’s acquisition of Toronto-based miner Uranium One Inc. made the Russian agency, which also builds nuclear weapons, one the world’s top five producers of the radioactive metal and gave it ownership of a mine in Wyoming.
The deal, approved by a committee that included then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, also followed donations from Uranium One’s Canadian chairman to the Clinton Global Foundation, the New York Times reported on Thursday.
In an interview with Bloomberg News, Ian Telfer, the former Uranium One chairman and current chairman of Goldcorp Inc., said he pledged a donation of $3 million to the Clinton charity in March 2008, “when it was never contemplated that at some point in the future the Russian government would become a major shareholder of Uranium One.”
Why did the Russian government want Uranium One? http://www.speakupwny.com/forums/sho...ine-ONE-GUESS-!

'C' is for Corruption
The Clintons are the Brazilianization of American politics.
By BRET STEPHENS

Postcards from yesterday’s countries of the future:
Brazil: President Dilma Rousseff of the Workers’ Party faces impeachment on charges of cooking government books. Corruption investigations are ongoing in cases involving former President Lula da Silva and the presidents of both houses of Congress. Inflation is in double digits and the economy...
Which brings us to Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee and—if Republicans nominate either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz—likely the next president of the United States. Mrs. Clinton’s email arrangements are supposed to be the scandal that will fell her, but what ought to frighten Americans is the way the Clintons mix money and power in the black box of their eponymous foundation to award themselves more of each.
This is the Brazilianization of American politics, albeit with more legal finessing. But the stench is the same, and it’s why so many Americans, Democrats included, instinctively recoil at the thought of another Clinton presidency.
So far the Panama Papers seem to have netted few Americans, which may say something about the fundamental probity of the U.S. system. Nothing ordains that it should last forever. “C” is also for Clinton.

Aftermath of Merkel's open door? 70k crimes committed or attempted by migrants in Germany
MIGRANTS in Germany committed or attempted nearly 70,000 crimes in the first quarter of 2016.
Germany received over a million migrants last year.
And now fears have been raised over national safety in the country after a damning new report claimed asylum seekers attempted or committed 69,000 crimes in the first three months of the year.
The report from the BKA federal police showed that settlers from northern Africa, Georgia and Serbia were disproportionately represented among the suspects.
Crime numbers of among Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis - the three biggest groups of asylum seekers in Germany - were also high but given the proportion of migrants that they account for, their involvement in crimes was “clearly disproportionately low”.
Sex crimes accounted for 1.1 per cent
The report showed that 29.2 percent of the crimes migrants committed or tried to commit in the first quarter were thefts, 28.3 per cent were property or forgery offences and 23 per cent offences such as bodily harm, robbery and unlawful detention.
Drug-related offences accounted for 6.6 percent and sex crimes accounted for 1.1 per cent.

FBI agents have confirmed that they recovered records from Hillary Clinton's private server and other electronic devices, but won't reveal any details about those records because that information is being treated as "evidence" in a "pending investigation."
The FBI said the disclosure of what it obtained off Clinton’s server, thumb drive or other obtained devices “could reasonably lead to the public identification and compromising of potential witnesses, as well as defensive actions to conceal activities, elude detection, and/or suppress or fabricate evidence.”
The filing makes it clear investigators have obtained additional materials off the Clinton server as noted in a footnote which reads, “All of the materials retrieved from any electronic equipment obtained from former Secretary Clinton for the investigation are evidence, potential evidence, or information that has not yet been assessed for evidentiary value.”
A plain reading of the filing implies the FBI is conducting a full investigation after counterintelligence issues were initially raised by the Inspector General.

Romney: “Every appearance that Hillary Clinton was bribed” on uranium deal
Mitt Romney made the argument around which everyone else danced yesterday after the New York Times exposed the UraniumOne deal and its principals’ big cash avalanche to the Clinton Foundation. The State Department’s approval of the deal under Hillary Clinton wasn’t just “undue influence,” and not “a poor choice of timing,” either. “It looks like bribery,” Romney told Hugh Hewitt last night:HH: Governor Romney, I know you’ve had a chance to read, I assume you’ve had a chance to read the Jo Becker/Mike McIntire New York Times piece today about the cash flowing into the Clinton Foundation from the Russians as they got control of Uranium One. What’s your reaction to this story?
MR: You know, I’ve got to tell you, I was stunned by it. I mean, it looks like bribery. I mean, there is every appearance that Hillary Clinton was bribed to grease the sale of, what, 20% of America’s uranium production to Russia, and then it was covered up by lying about a meeting at her home with the principals, and by erasing emails. And you know, I presume we might know for sure whether there was or was not bribery if she hadn’t wiped out thousands of emails. But this is a very, very serious series of facts, and it looks like bribery.
A few moments later, after the above excerpt, Romney argued that while some of the Clintons’ post-White House activities need scrutiny through the political process, this rises above that into something even more serious, emphasis mine:
HH: I just asked Senator Lindsey Graham last hour if they would hold hearings into the donors to the Clinton Family Foundation, because if the Russians can give them that much money, is it possible the Iranians have as well, Governor Romney?
MR: Well, we don’t know who gave money, and the IRS apparently is making it known that the filings of the Clinton Foundation did not include the fact that foreign governments were making contributions. And they had misstated their filings over the past several years. This is obviously a very troubling setting. But even what we do know, based on what was written by the New York Times, and is being reported by Fox and others, it has every earmark of bribery. And this is from the office of Secretary of State. This is a very troubling set of facts, and clearly, there’s got to be some kind of investigation to find out what the truth is here, because around the world, people are going to look at Hillary Clinton, a potential candidate for president, a former Secretary of State, and say gosh, is this a person who could be trusted? And I think the American people are asking that question as well.
HH: Now Governor Romney, Brian Fallon, a spokesperson for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, said, “No one has produced a shred of evidence supporting the theory that Hillary Clinton ever took action as Secretary of State to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation. To suggest the State Department under then-Secretary Clinton exerted undue influence in the U.S. government’s review of the sale of Uranium One is utterly baseless.” Is that a sufficient response?
MR: Well, it’s blah, blah, blah. The story that came from the New York Times is pretty straightforward, which is that millions upon millions of dollars were given to the Clinton Foundation at the same time by a group of people who had uranium assets, and shortly thereafter, these people came to the State Department for approval to be able to sell these assets to Russia for a huge price tag. And those are the facts. And if those things are connected, as they certainly seem to be, it’s a form of bribery. And that’s what it appears to be, and that is of course what’s going to have to be delved into, and I’m afraid this is a, this is bigger than just her presidential campaign. I mean, this is a question about whether or not the United States Secretary of State was bribed to grease the sale of strategic assets to Russia.
The response from the Clinton camp is that no one can show an explicit quid pro quo, so it’s all just … a coincidence!
