If You Only News has the article Hillary Clinton’s Answer On Abortion Leaves ‘Pro-Life’ Senator Speechless (VIDEO).

In 2009, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked in Congress about abortion rights in other countries and whether the administration had any plans to further restrict abortions throughout the developing world.

I don’t know why they chose now to publicize these remarks from 2009, but I applaud them for doing so. Hillary Clinton can speak with passion and authority when she chooses to.

I only hope that she will choose to speak with such passion in proposing to prosecute the criminal bank executives that are still violating the law. It was one thing for Obama to have refused to prosecute them in some misplaced worry about the impact on the economy of prosecuting them. It is quite another for him to refuse to prosecute even while they continue to break the law after they promised not to do it anymore.

If You Only News has the article WATCH: Jon Stewart DESTROYS Dick Cheney In The Hilarious ‘Case Of The Iranian Agent’ (VIDEO).

Some nights Jon Stewart and company go above and beyond. Thursday night was one of those nights. Stewart took on Cheney and his recent claims from the Hugh Hewitt show where Cheney makes some outlandish comments about Barack Obama and essentially calls him a traitor.

Cheney must figure that the best way to avoid being identified as the traitor is to call someone else a traitor. I think most traitors would much prefer anonymity than bringing up the topic themselves. At least you can’t fault Cheney for not thinking outside the box.

New economic Perspectives has the article Lanny Breuer’s Defense of Not Prosecuting HSBC and its Officers by William K. Black.

I have been researching the HSBC frauds for a column I am doing about Loretta Lynch, the U.S. Attorney who refused to prosecute HSBC or any of its officers for the largest and most destructive money laundering and anti-terror finance sanctions-busting in history and continues to fail to do so even though her own appointed monitor at HSBC reports that HSBC is not complying with the sweetheart deal Lynch gifted them and even though she is now aware (of something she should have been well aware of for years) that senior HSBC officials continued to violate the laws to aid the wealthy and criminal evade taxes while HSBC’s lawyers were negotiating the sweetheart deal with Lynch about other mass felonies.

See the CNN article and video Obama rips Senate over Lynch nomination: ‘This is embarrassing’.  Speaking about Loretta Lynch, he describes her as

A woman who everybody agrees is qualified

So who is William K. Black, chopped liver? (As we used to say in my family.)  What’s with CNN not making any comment about this statement?  It looks like Obama is taking a page from the Koch brothers book, repeat the big lie loudly and often and who is going to question you?  He even has people like Bernie Sanders promoting the lie.  Rachel Maddow is promoting the lie.  And here I am (along with William K. Black) shouting “The emperor has no clothes”  Is anybody going to notice?  Have you taken notice?  Has Elizabeth Warren taken notice?
