Donald Trump has stated that he does not intend to go after Hillary Clinton because of her e-mail server, but that does not mean he is done punishing her yet.

Courtesy of the New York Post:  

Foreign governments will be encouraged to investigate the Clinton Foundation’s finances, as many are already turning off money spigots to the scandal-scarred group, The Post has learned. 

A source close to President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team told The Post that the new administration plans to pressure the US ambassadors it will name to bring up the foundation with foreign governments — and suggest they probe its ­financial dealings. 

Trump said last week that he would not order an investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server or her role in the foundation. 

But Trump’s statement didn’t preclude the backroom moves to investigate the group. 

“Haiti and Colombia will be key diplomatic posts for this ­because of all the money ­involved,” said the source.

So I guess when Donald Trump said, “I don’t want to hurt them. They’re good people,” that was just one more lie to add to the pile?

I think just like the Benghazi investigation and the e-mail kerfuffle this will turn out to be a great big nothing burger.

But once again it adds stress to the lives of the Clinton family, and very likely endangers the survival of the Clinton Foundation.

Wasn't it Omarosa who said that Trump was keeping a list of his enemies?

Why yes it was.

Sarah Palin suddenly and inexplicably becomes outraged again over being blamed for the shooting of Gabby Giffords.

I just remembered something else I've been pissed off about for years.

Courtesy of the Queen of Denial's Facebook page:

Another epitome in media double standards, in my opinion: A schizophrenic shoots an Arizona representative and the media goes berserk blaming me for the crime. That year's SarahPAC electoral map had included a "target" icon, and media erroneously claimed it somehow spurred on the criminal. https://www.facebook.com/notes/sarah-palin/dont-get-demoralized-get-organized-take-back-the-20/373854973434/  (This links to the 2010 Facebook post that preceded Gabby Giffords being shot.)

The attack on the Arizona politician and innocent bystanders was beyond horrific, and many of us continue to lift up in prayer those who are affected by any unwarranted violence, as the nation witnessed that day in Tucson. Also unwarranted is the blame game liberals capitalized on then, as they continue to do today. 

Back then, unable to defend myself with the obvious message that I had nothing to do with the shooting, and wanting to remind the media that using target icons in graphics is used universally by democrats and liberal media (including the liberal "Crossfire" news program), I finally disobeyed my employer's directive (FOX News) to stay silent about the false accusations. Days after the tragedy I made my own video to post a defense, hoping to help exonerate ALL who are falsely accused. http://abcnews.go.com/…/sarah-palin-gabrielle-giffor…/story… (This links to the jaw dropping "Blood Libel" video that essentially destroyed all of Palin's future political aspirations. For some reason she wants you to watch it again.)

The apoplectic media pinning me for the crime caused turmoil and threats that are inexplicable, stretching still to this day. I say this not to claim any sort of victimization, but to point out the power the media has to try to destroy someone's career, reputation and spirit, by employing its common double standards. http://www.breitbart.com/…/remember-when-the-gabrielle-gif…/  (This links to a Breitbart article that is almost four years old. I swear I'm getting whiplash here.)

This morning on MSNBC the liberal media once again features their "target" icon in their political graphics. And all is well in the lamestream media. Let's hear it for consistency... http://conservatives4palin.com/…/cnn-puts-sarah-palin-cross… 

- Sarah Palin

Okay the link at the end of her rant goes, not to a recent example of CNN using a target icon, but to a 2014 Sea O'Pee post falsely accusing CNN of using a "target" icon.

This is what they use to support that claim.

 As you probably know CNN has a wall filled with screens that often show a number of breaking stories.

 When they need to make an image larger they expand it over more than one screen which provides an image like this.

Apparently in the minds of the 2014 Palin sycophants this exonerated Palin's use of this image.

It didn't.

Now I have to admit that I was racking my brain to figure out what could have triggered this outburst from Palin.

And then I remembered this story from last week.

It featured this image that Arizona Republicans used against the Democrat challenging John McCain for his Senate seat.

Now for some reason Palin herself does not mention this poster, but since it caused news agencies all over the internet to reference her target icons it was most likely what triggered this latest psychotic break.

You know, a week later.

Boy it must be a real joy to live in the same house with this lunatic.

Sarah Palin gives passive aggressive endorsement to a Peggy Noonan column.

This from the "Queen of Holding Grudges" Facebook page:  

Great article, Peggy, but where the heck were you when I and other commonsense conservatives were sounding the warning bell in '08? You joined the "cool kids" in mocking and condescendingly criticizing -- ultimately demanding that we "sit down and shut up." Better late than never, though, Peggy and your ilk, because, meanwhile back in America... 

Oooh, snippy!

I don't have an account with the Wall Street Journal so I can't see the article she is alluding to, but here is how Politico described it:  

Palin was presumably referring to Noonan's remarks in a series of interviews last fall, during which she accused tea party conservatives of trying to "topple" the GOP and said they needed to stop name-calling and work out their differences with establishment Republicans. 

In Friday's column, titled "Meanwhile, Back in America...", Noonan called President Obama's State of the Union address "a spectacle of delusion and self-congratulation" that failed to address the true concerns of most Americans. According to Noonan, those concerns include the fate of the school voucher program, the IRS's targeting of conservatives and the plight of nuns who "have, quite cruelly, been told they must comply with the ObamaCare mandate that all insurance coverage include contraceptives, sterilization procedures, morning-after pills."

Of course Noonan is a well known Right Wing hack so I do not give her article much credibility, and if Palin kinda sorta endorsed it then it deserves even less as far as I am concerned.

However I DO remember a time when Noonan was right on the money back in 2009:

In television interviews she was out of her depth in a shallow pool. She was limited in her ability to explain and defend her positions, and sometimes in knowing them. She couldn't say what she read because she didn't read anything. She was utterly unconcerned by all this and seemed in fact rather proud of it: It was evidence of her authenticity. She experienced criticism as both partisan and cruel because she could see no truth in any of it. She wasn't thoughtful enough to know she wasn't thoughtful enough. Her presentation up to the end has been scattered, illogical, manipulative and self-referential to the point of self-reverence. "I'm not wired that way," "I'm not a quitter," "I'm standing up for our values." I'm, I'm, I'm. 

In another age it might not have been terrible, but here and now it was actually rather horrifying.

Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

And then there was this moment caught on an NBC open mic back in September 2008, right after McCain picked Palin: 

After a segment with NBC's Chuck Todd ended today, Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan were caught on a live mike ridiculing the choice of Sarah Palin. 

"It's over," said Noonan, who then responded to a question of whether Palin is the most qualified Republican woman McCain could have chosen. 

"The most qualified? No. I think they went for this — excuse me — political bullshit about narratives," she said. "Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it." 

Murphy chimed in: 

"The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical."

You know it must have really burned Palin's ass to give Noonan even that bitchy hat tip today, because as we know a Palin never forgives.

Unless of course it was the work of a soon to be kicked to the curb ghostwriter.
