OMG Murdered spy claimed Putin was caught on film having sex with boys

snip

Litvinenko made the accusation after the president was pictured kissing the stomach of a five-year-old boy during a walkabout in the Kremlin in June 2006, left. He went on to connect Putin's alleged paedophile past to the case of Yuri Skuratov a senior politician in Russia who was caught on camera having sex with two prostitutes, left.


snip


When the future Russian president was a student, he was filmed abusing children in a flat where another top politician had a threesome with prostitutes, Litvinenko wrote in a sensational web post.

The wild claim is recorded in Sir Robert Owen's inquiry report as part of a long list of allegations made by the assassinated spy against Mr Putin after he fled Russia and settled in Britain.

Hillary can't stop fibbing. Senate record fails to support her bipartisanship claim

Spot check of Hillary Clinton's Senate record fails to support bipartisanship claim By C. Eugene Emery Jr. on Wednesday, January 20th, 2016 at 12:10 p.m.

So on the campaign trail in Iowa, Democrat Hillary Clinton said she could work with Republicans because that's what she did when she served in the U.S. Senate from 2001 to 2009.

"When I was in the Senate, of course I had to work with Republicans. I think every piece of legislation, just about, that I ever introduced had a Republican co-sponsor," she said at a campaign organizing event in Toledo, a small town between Des Moines and Cedar Rapids.

PolitiFact, which is in Iowa this week covering the caucuses, wanted to see if Clinton had that right.

snip


Our ruling: We rate this claim False.

By our review of legislation introduced by Clinton, she isn't even close.

Her campaign says she meant to cast the statement differently, but we cannot rule based on what candidates intended to say. Clinton introduced a significant amount of legislation without Republican co-sponsors.

BINGO! The Curious Myth of Hillary Clinton's Senate Effectiveness

Note that this article is from 2008 and outlines HRC's "track record of failure and futility"

snip

Frankly, I'm tired of listening to Senator Clinton portray herself as being in the solutions business -- as boasting a nice, fat resume of accomplishments -- while mocking Barack Obama for being a rhetorical empty suit.

snip

...an inability to get legislation passed is just the beginning of Senator Clinton's shallow record. For many of the bills she introduced, she couldn't even get a cosponsor in her own party!


snip

Below are some perfectly fine, liberal, progressive bills that she introduced, but was unable to attract a cosponsor of any party, according to the Library of Congress.


snip

So Senator Clinton is right when she claims to be the experienced candidate, although it's not the experience she would like us to believe. It's a track record of legislative failure and futility.

Who is a real leader? What do leaders do that sets them apart from mere managers?



“It takes a leader to create the momentum, it takes a vision to direct the momentum, it takes a massive action to build on the momentum, and it takes self-discipline to sustain the momentum. Momentum is the bridge between a vision and its results”
― F. Asl


Who has the momentum? Not Hillary!

Who has the vision? Not Hillary as her surrogates have been pointing out!

Hillary's inability to create momentum, her inability to fashion a vision that inspires young and old, across party lines reveal a person who may be a competent manager but not a leader.

BERNIE HAS THE MOMENTUM. BERNIE HAS THE VISION. BERNIE HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO MAINTAIN THE MOMENTUM.


Bernie is a proven leader.






GO BERNIE GO
