Can't delete this
When Hillary collapsed this weekend so did her credibility. Her inability to just be straight with America is what's truly deplorable.
"I just didn't think it was going to be that big a deal"... Hillary's explanation as to why she kept secret her pneumonia.
You know, like her private server wasn't a big deal either and Comey approved!

Clinton health issue at 9/11 Event! Faints
They said she's suffering from pneumonia.
Video 280
Looks more like Johnnie Walker syndrome.
A witness told Fox News that Clinton stumbled off the curb, her "knees buckled" and she lost a shoe as she was helped into a van during her "unexpected early departure." The NYPD was sent to retrieve Clinton's shoe, but when they arrived they found it had been deleted.

NFL bracing for possible player National Anthem protests on 9/11
It is their right to protest. It is also the right of the owners to fire the bastards. What have we become? Can you imagine Vince Lombardi putting up with this crap? If it wasn't for football these overpaid opportunists would be going down the same path as the thugs their protesting about. They embrace "innocent" Martyrs like Saint Trayvon and this guy Saint Alton
with a criminal history as long as Interstate 77.
Check out his holiness... the rap sheet.
Meanwhile, in Chicago more blacks are shot by other blacks in a weekend then the cops shoot all year! Why are they not protesting that? The fact of the matter in this. Blacks are shot by the cops because they commit the vast majority of crimes. More crimes than whites and Hispanics combined! Don't know about you but I suspect the chances of being shot by the police are greater while committing a crime than not. If Laquan McDonald was sitting on a park bench reading the newspaper instead of walking down the middle of the road brandishing a knife you think he would have been shot?
Ever hear of cause-and-effect?

The National Football League is bracing for possible widespread player demonstrations during the national anthem at Sunday’s opening games, in what would mark a high-profile escalation of a protest movement over concerns of racial injustice in America.
The games fall on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, which the NFL plans to commemorate with appearances by military personnel, first responders and two U.S. presidents. That backdrop could further animate a fierce national debate set off last month by quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the anthem.
Officials with the NFL Players Association, who have been providing its union members with guidance on what protests are prohibited under the labor agreement, expect that players on several teams may pursue some form of protest.
An official with one team said his organization had prepared a “response plan” for possible protests and expected that most other teams had done the same.
NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said that players can’t violate the dress code—for example, by writing on their helmets—and they can’t interrupt the game. Apart from that, Mr. Atallah said, players can express themselves as they choose.
The league hasn't disciplined Mr. Kaepernick. NFL executive vice president of communications Joe Lockhart said the league has a “somewhat broader” view than the union of what players can and can’t do but explained the league would work together with the NFLPA to deal with the behavior on a case-by-case basis. He said drawing up an exhaustive list of prohibited behaviors wouldn't make sense.
Mr. Kaepernick, the backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, first sat out The Star-Spangled Banner at an August preseason game, saying afterward: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” Since then, several players have joined Mr. Kaepernick in taking one knee for the anthem, a gesture that has been met with sympathy, solidarity and outrage from fans, commentators and teammates.
The response to Mr. Kaepernick’s protest hasn't only highlighted national anxieties about policing in African-American communities, it has also put coaches and owners in the precarious position of trying to balance respect for players’ political expression against broader public sentiment about the military and police.

Chalk up another one for the presidential library
Newly discovered parasitic worm named after Barack Obama
Other presidents have mountains named after them. They're the namesakes for high schools, boulevards, space centers, libraries, airports, and elk. George Washington has the capital of our country named for him, for crying out loud.
But how many of them have the dubious honor of being the namesake for a parasitic worm?
World, meet Baracktrema obamai, a deadly turtle pathogen named in honor of our current president. Believe it or not, it's supposed to be a compliment.
The new genus and species of parasitic flatworm was introduced this week in an article in the Journal of Parasitology. The tiny creatures, which are the thickness of a human hair, invade the lungs of freshwater turtles in Malaysia, often with deadly consequences.
Thomas Platt, a turtle disease expert who discovered the new species shortly before his recent retirement from St. Mary's College, said that the name is meant to honor President Obama — not gross him out. Though most people (understandably) aren't big parasite fans, Platt has a deep respect for the resilient little creatures.
They “face incredible obstacles to complete their [life cycles] and must contend with the immune system of the host in order to mature and reproduce,” he said in a statement.
Platt's research also revealed that the worm is a relative of members of the genus Unicaecum, another turtle parasite. And both are more distant relatives of the worms that cause the disease schistosomiasis in humans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, schistosomiasis infects as many as 200 million people in the year, second only to malaria as the world's most devastating parasitic illness. The worms crawl into their hosts' blood vessels and lay eggs, which can become lodged in victims' organs and cause fever, muscle pain, liver problems, even seizures or cancer.
Understanding Baracktrema obamai's relationship to Unicaecum can help scientists understand the evolutionary history of these parasitic diseases, Platt and his colleagues write. In turn, that will help researchers figure out how to treat them.
As he was delving into the phylogenetic tree of parasites, Platt had been conducting research on his own family history. In the process, he discovered that he shares a not-so-distant common ancestor with the president.
“I have named a number of species after people I admire, from my father-in-law, my PhD adviser, and good friends who are academics and/or amateur naturalists,” Platt said. “Baracktrema obamai will endure as long as there are systematists studying these remarkable organisms.”
The turtle worm joins a long list of creatures named for Obama, which includes a lichen, an extinct lizard (the "obamadon"), a species of trapdoor spider and another parasite. At this rate, perhaps the president is looking forward to leaving office.
Correction: An earlier version of this post incorrectly characterized Barack Obama as The President of the United States. The reality is he's a community organizer with an inclination towards a parasitic society which takes from the working to give to the lazy.
