5 Reasons Hillary Clinton Will Run for President... and Lose

5 Reasons Hillary Clinton Will Run for President... and Lose

Hillary Clinton could become the first female President of the United States. That reality alone has been the primary driver of Hillary’s political existence. She rode her husbands coattails all the way to the US Senate. She ran in New York, of course, because the long-time Arkansan would be given a clear path to victory there.

This would then set the stage for the obvious plan that the Clinton’s had to continue the dynasty and return to the White House. In 2008, Hillary was the inevitable Democratic candidate. She lost, of course, but she is once again the inevitable candidate heading into 2016. Many think she will coast to victory as the chance for yet another new “first” will over-ride all other concerns. Sadly, they might be right. But here are five reasons why they are probably, or at least hopefully, wrong.

Multiple States Launch Plan to Legally Stop Obama… Without Congress




The federal government has grown in leaps and bounds over the course of American history, far beyond the original intentions of size and scope that the Framers had in mind.

The government has routinely ignored the Constitutional constraints that are supposed to limit it, and instead have encroached upon the rights and sovereignty of the states and the people, using their vast bureaucracies and agencies to interfere in virtually all aspects of life with taxes, legislation and regulations.

In response, numerous states are fighting back against President Obama and the federal government that he leads, using the Tenth Amendment and federalism as their main weapon.

The two predominate methods for states to fight back against the federal government is through the nullification of certain laws within a state’s borders, and by an Article V Convention of the States to propose amendments to the Constitution.

Nullification

Perhaps the best and most effective way to combat the overreach and tyranny of Obama and the federal government is through nullification.

One of the “powers” that is not enumerated in the Constitution, and therefore reserved to the states, is that of nullification, in which states can stop the overreach of the federal government by determining for themselves if a federal law is compatible with their state’s and the US Constitution.  If not, the state can declare the federal law to be null and void, and of no effect, within the borders of their state.
The Supreme Court has ruled that states are under no obligations to enforce federal laws, and can’t be compelled to assist the feds in the enforcement of federal law with any of the state’s resources like money or manpower.  Basically, if a state nullifies a federal law, it falls entirely upon the feds to enforce that law by themselves, something that the federal government certainly does not have the resources to do.

Nullification can be used in regards to certain specific laws, for example Obamacare and gun control, or for governmental regulations, like Idaho is doing with the EPA.  States can even nullify entire agencies, like California is attempting to do with the NSA.

Convention of States

Another method for stopping Obama and the federal government is through a Constitutional Article V Convention of the States for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution designed to rein in their overspending and overreaching.

A Convention of States is based upon a provision within Article V of the Constitution, which deals with the amendment process.  If 2/3 of states submit special applications, they can call for a convention that will propose new amendments to the Constitution through state delegates.  If 3/4 of the state legislatures agree on the proposed amendments, they will become part of the Constitution, bypassing both Congress and the President.
At this moment, a number of states are working through the process of officially applying for a Convention.  Such a Convention of States would likely propose amendments that would deal with things such as a mandatory balanced budget, caps on taxes, term limits, and additional oversight and veto power over agencies and bureaucracies, among other ideas.

A number of popular voices on the conservative front have come out in support of a convention, including people like radio host Mark Levin, former Governor and VP candidate Sarah Palin, columnist George Will, and former Congressman Allen West, among others.

These are the main ways that states can legally stop Obama and the government, with or without Congress.  Individuals can also do their part to stop the federal government, mainly through noncompliance.  If people rebel against the many various and onerous rules and regulations set forth by the ever-growing bureaucracy, those rules and regulations begin to lose their effectiveness.  When a massive number of people refuse to comply with the tyranny of big government, that government loses it’s authority over the masses.

Michelle Malkin: Military Bases: Obama’s New Illegal Alien Dumping Grounds




 A source tipped me off last week to a curious occurrence: It seems that two planeloads of illegal aliens were recently shipped to Massachusetts. The first reportedly landed at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford. According to my tipster, approximately 160 illegal immigrants arrived on that flight and stayed nearly a week before being transferred to a Department of Homeland Security site and then released.

The second flight reportedly was diverted from Hanscom to Boston’s Logan Airport this past weekend. I am told that both Massachusetts and New Hampshire officials were on hand. I reached out to Hanscom AFB for confirmation, but did not receive a call back by my deadline.

Question: How many other military bases are stealthily being used to redistribute, house, process and release illegal border crossers?

What we do know for sure is that the Obama administration already has converted several other military bases across the country into outposts for tens of thousands of illegal aliens from Central and South America.

San Antonio’s Lackland Air Force Base opened its doors as an illegal immigrant camp last month. Port Hueneme Naval Base in Ventura County, Calif., will shelter nearly 600 illegal border-crossing children and teens. The Fort Sill Army post in Lawton, Okla., was ordered on Friday to take in 1,200 illegal aliens despite the objections of GOP Gov. Mary Fallin, who blasted the White House, saying, “The Obama administration continues to fail in its duty to protect our borders and continues to promote policies that encourage, rather than discourage, illegal immigration.”

A makeshift detention center in Nogales, Ariz., is being used as the central clearing station for the latest illegal alien surge. The deluge is a threat to national security, public safety and public health — not to mention a slap in the face to the law-abiding men and women in uniform on those bases and a kick in the teeth to law-abiding people around the world patiently waiting for approval of their visas.

Meanwhile, a law enforcement source in Texas tells me this week that countless illegal aliens are being released into the general public despite testing positive for tuberculosis. “The feds are putting them on public transportation to God knows where,” he said.

Another source, working in the border patrol in south Texas, tells me: “Our station, along with every other station, is flooded with women and small children. One lady yesterday had a baby as young as 8 months. And they’re coming over with pink eye and scabies. So getting them medically cleared becomes a priority. They’ll be here for almost a week, so we provide them with formula and diapers. We have a catering service contracted to feed them because it’s too many for us to feed on our own. And of course, they end up being released because every family housing facility is full. They’re supposed to show up for immigration court at a later date, but they don’t.”

Same old, same old. I’ve reported for years on the feds’ catch-and-release games and deportation Kabuki. The “notice to appear” letters — known as “run letters” — are a notorious joke in open-borders circles.

The latest “crisis” is a wholly manufactured byproduct of White House administrative amnesties, which are supported by a toxic alliance of ethnic-vote-seeking Democrats and cheap-labor-hungry Big Business Republicans. The flood comes just as Obama’s DHS announced a two-year extension for beneficiaries of the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) program. A whopping 560,000 illegal aliens have been granted amnesty under DACA and also have received employment authorization.
