Mossberg has long been known for providing value-priced firearms that get the job done. In fact, my first real gun was a Mossberg 20 gauge shotgun that has taken many birds and deer. It was a no-frills field gun, but it never let me down.
Mossberg starting selling their first AR-15 rifles in 2011. The original MMRs were true to the Mossberg roots—solid rifles at attractive price points. They included the MMR Hunter series and MMR Tactical series rifles. For 2016, Mossberg decided it was time to update the MMR and in doing so, they’ve taken it to a new level. The older versions of the MMRs are no longer available as Mossberg rolls out the updated models of the MMRs.

A 30-round metal magazine comes with the gun. This Magpul 10-rounder also worked well as did a Bushmaster mag.

The first new MMR is a basic model intended as an all-around carbine. Although basic, each component was carefully considered. The most obvious change is the slim new 13-inch aluminum handguard that wraps around the free-floating, A2-profile barrel. It’s also a good example of the thought process that went into building this gun.
The previous MMR wore a quad rail forend. Picatinny rails are great for mounting accessories, however, when you get a bunch of accessories attached to the handguard, it starts to get bulky. The sharp-edged rails can also be hard on the hands. In 2007 Magpul developed their first slot system to address this. They called it their MOE mounting system and it allowed attaching accessories directly to the handguard without the need for a rail. However, there was a drawback in that you needed to access the back of the handguard to install accessories.
Then in 2012, VLTOR and Noveske teamed up to develop Keymod. With the Keymod system, you could attach your accessories without the need to have access to the back of the handguard. Keymod use has been growing in popularity, but Magpul wasn’t about to leave it at that.
The new Magpul standard is called M-Lok, which stands for Modular Lock system. The slots are a little bigger than the MOE system and it’s no longer necessary to access the back of the handguard. The accessories are held in place by cammed T-nuts. This makes installation of M-Lok parts as easy as the Keymod system with added benefits. Due to the way Keymod functions, you can only install accessories one way. You have to go from the wide end of the slot to the narrow end. M-Lok accessories can be installed either way, giving you added positions for spacing. They also incorporate recoil lugs making the M-Lok mounts more resistant to shifting under recoil.

The slim new M-Lok handguard offers lots of locations to attach accessories.

Answering The Why

M-Lok accessories can be mounted facing in either direction and are held fast by a combination of cammed T-Nut and recoil lugs which extend into the slots. Image courtesy of manufacturer.

When I asked the folks at Mossberg about their thinking in going with the M-Lok system, this is what they told me:

• Magpul/M-Lok market share is stronger
• Direct attachment—Customer does not have to use aluminum rail mounts
• Direct mount capability—No access to back side of rail required
• Four-axis recoil-mitigation lugs—At every increment, accessories are supported by lugs on all four sides
• Adjusts evenly in 1/2 slot increments for precise accessory placement
• Multi-directional Mounting—Accessories can mount with either end facing forward
• #10 mounting screw—For greater strength and fewer stripped screw heads
• Optimized for both metal and polymer—Easy to manufacture, plus stronger and more secure
• Custom, self-aligning T-nut—Strong, inexpensive, and easy to use

So you can see they didn’t just stick it on because it looks good, although it does. They methodically identified what would be best for their customers in the long run. Which attachment system will have the most products, which system is superior in everyday use, which system is more versatile? That’s the philosophy I see reflected in the entire gun.

Intelligent Options

There’s a full-length rail mounted on top for sights. The supplied iron sights are target adjustable and the longer top of the handguard provides added sight radius.

The MMR sports a typical AR-pattern birdcage flash suppressor because it works.

The A2 profile barrel with mid-length gas tube is a good all-around barrel. It’s also ramped for more reliable feeding. The gas system is direct impingement for simplicity and reliability, and the barrel is free floated for accuracy. While the earlier MMR had 1:9 rifling, the updated MMR has 1:8 to stabilize the heavier bullets gaining popularity. In the range report you’ll see that this rifle really likes the Hornady 75-grain boat tail hollow points (BTHP).
The trigger has a typical mil-spec weight of 7 pounds, but is free of creep and is not at all gritty. That’s not typical. It provides a nice clean break with the reliability and safety factors afforded by a mil-spec trigger. I prefer a lighter trigger, but there are options available in the aftermarket if a little polishing doesn’t get you where you want to be.
The stock is a UTG Pro six-position adjustable unit that provides the best fit regardless of what you’re wearing, from a summer T-shirt to a winter parka. The Magpul trigger guard is curved to provide more room for gloved fingers.
All-in-all, the build quality is excellent. The upper and lower fit together as well as any mass-produced AR you’ll find. They’ll also interchange with other AR-pattern rifles. The steel surfaces are phosphate coated and the aluminum is anodized. If you’re not familiar with phosphate coating, commonly called Parkerizing (although that is actually a proprietary name which has come into common usage much like Kleenex), it’s a method for providing corrosion resistance that’s been in use by our military for decades. It provides more corrosion protection than bluing and also adds lubricity and anti-spalling properties.

The MMR is at its heart an improved AR. It takes all the strengths of the basic design and adds thoughtful upgrades and enhancements.

The bolt is made from Carpenter 158 steel, which is what Eugene Stoner specified in his original design to withstand the stresses on the locking lugs and the area of the bolt where the cam pin hole is found. Some other lower-price ARs use 8620 steel because it’s cheaper, although not as strong. Mossberg stayed with Stoner’s specs for longer bolt life. The bolt also gets phosphate coating.

Mossberg eliminated the forward assist and dustcover. It makes the MMR a little easier to maintain and less expensive to produce. Note the enlarged Magpul trigger guard.

ARs with 16-inch barrels generally utilize carbine length gas tubes or the newer mid-length tubes. The mid-length tubes run at lower pressures at the port which means less stress on internal parts and longer life/dependability. Mossberg went with the mid-length gas tube.
The included Magpul pistol grip is comfortable and well-positioned for extended shooting. It also doesn’t get sticky or oily in the heat like some rubber grips do. A storage compartment affords a handy place to keep backup batteries for your optic.
The birdcage flash suppressor is typical AR and, with slots only in the top, offers some compensation to offset muzzle rise. The most atypical features are the lack of a forward assist and dust cover. In both cases, I believe it’s a better gun without them. The forward assist is something that most people will never use in a sporting rifle. The dustcover is a maintenance item and is flimsy enough that it could easily be bent. They are both items I would gladly eliminate to get to the price point Mossberg has set for this gun.
MSRP is $910.00. That’s $10 less than the price of the gun it replaces, the old style MMR. You’ll find street prices to be significantly less.

Range Performance

The MMR is an easy gun to shoot, as are most ARs. It’s light with modest recoil and the top rail provides a sturdy mount for optics. For accuracy at 100 yards, I fired from a bench resting the gun on a wooden block. The first day at the range I used a Caldwell Lead Sled. The second day when I got to the range, 80 miles from my house, I realized the Lead Sled wasn’t in my truck.  Oops. So I fired anyway. I figured you won’t be shooting from a Lead sled when you’re drawing down on that trophy jackalope.
I’m just an average shot, so the figures listed here aren’t a thorough test of each brand of ammo. But it’s obvious that this is a better than 1 MOA gun. My three best groups were 0.935, 0.805 and 0.771 inches. It’s nice to see that Mossberg still delivers.

The ammo was graciously provided by Federal and Hornady. It worked great and is capable of much better groups than this average shooter can manage.

The Hornady .223 Rem 75-grain BTHP load performed extremely well in the MMR. This is a great round for reaching out.

The MMR is chambered for 5.56 NATO so it will shoot both 5.56 and .223 Remington ammo. The ammo used for evaluation ranged in price from less than fifty cents a round for the American Eagle to more than a dollar a round for the Hornady 75-grain load. Sighting-in was accomplished with the American Eagle 50-grain JHP Varmint and Predator ammunition from Federal. That was the lightest load tested. I then ran through the various cartridges increasing bullet weight till I got to the Hornady .223 Rem 75-grain BTHP.
Like most guns, the MMR showed a preference for some loads. My best groups were with the Hornady .223 Rem 55-grain V-Max, the Hornady .223 Rem 75-grain BTHP Match and a .223 handload using a 60-grain Nosler Varmint over 25 grains of Hodgdon Varget. However, all brands grouped into 1½ inch or less, which is excellent. We aren’t just in the golden age of guns today, we’re in the golden age of ammunition too. New shooters will take the consistency we’re seeing from the ammo manufacturers for granted, but if you’ve been around for a while, you know how much better ammo is today.

The UTG Pro six-position collapsible stock makes a lot of sense for a general use carbine.

As I said earlier, Mossberg has discontinued production of the earlier MMR models although you can still find some for sale. But when that inventory is gone, there won’t be anymore. Which is okay with me since the updated model provides even more value. Did I mention that it’s $10 less than the original MMR with iron sights!
Mossberg will continue to introduce more models and calibers of MMR through 2017. In the meantime, if you’re in the market for a solid performing basic AR-15 for hunting, competition or home defense, I highly recommend the new Mossberg MMR. It’s a quality gun at a great price point, and from an American company that’s been around since 1919.

A .50-Caliber Glock? Full Review: Conversion Kit & Complete Gun

“Why do I carry a .45? Because they don’t make a .46!” is one of the popular sayings among large caliber enthusiasts, almost right up there with, “…because shooting twice is just silly.” We’ve all seen and heard them – and some of us will even admit to haven said them. Well, folks they may still not make a .46 – but guess what? You can get a Glock in .50! Guncrafter Industries has been making the .50 GI round for over a decade, and first offered their own specially chambered M1911 pistol to shoot it with. For those who would love to have the bragging rights of shooting .50 caliber on a more modest budget, Guncrafter also makes a conversion kit for the Glock 20/21 and 40/41 pistols. Or, if you prefer you can buy the complete gun. The latter will cost you $975 with the stainless steel slide, or $1,035 for the Melonite-coated version. If you already own a Glock 20 or 21 and want just the upper for quick conversion, they can be had for $595 stainless steel and $660 Melonite. Gen4 kits are available but not compatible with pre-Gen4 pistols and vice versa. Our test gun was a pre-Gen4 Glock frame with both the stainless steel and Melonite uppers. It comes with a nine-round magazine of excellent quality. Extra mags will set you back $49.95 each. But that’s nothing compared to filling them – the ammo is not exactly cheap. More on that in a bit.

Seeing the Guncrafter .50 GI touch off a round is a thing of beauty.

CONSTRUCTION AND QUALITY

The first impression given by the Guncrafter Industries (GI) upper, or slide assembly, is that of high quality materials and workmanship. In an age seemingly dominated by knock-offs and quick-to-market parts, it is refreshing—almost surprising—to pick up and hold something of substance. As I turned the slide assembly over in my hand and viewed it from different angles, I could see that this is no mere copy of a Glock slide. There are subtle bevels and rounded edges, carefully milled gripping serrations, and tight tolerances that indicate that this is a carefully milled and fitted assembly—not a mass-produced part. If you are familiar with the components of a Glock then there is nothing new to see here—all the same parts in the same places, performing the same functions. Yet, you can tell that these parts fit just a little bit better and were given more attention to detail. This gave me high hopes, and frankly, high expectations.
Having only a Glock 21 Gen4 for comparison, I had to accept that there would be some inherent differences between the Gen3-ish .50 GI and my Glock. But those differences would be small and for the most part, obvious—like the dual recoil spring/guide rod assembly of the Gen4. Putting both on the scale, I was almost surprised to note only a 0.3-ounce difference. The G21 slide weighed 1 lb., 5.55 oz. and the .50 GI was 1 lb., 5.85 oz. Both the stainless and Melonite versions produced the exact same number. Not sure why I expected a bigger difference, but I suspect it is that sense of extra quality and tough construction. Of course, the parts are essentially the same size with the variation of a few thousandths of an inch here and there. Ballistically, the .50 GI operates at pressures not far above most .45 ACP loads, so it’s not as if a heavier slide is necessary.

Recoil of the .50 GI round is something be respected but is manageable.

The 185-grain JHP example on the left was provided by Guncrafter Industries and is the result ofit being fired into ballistic gelatin at 1,200 fps.

SHOOTING THE .50 GI

As I was loading the magazines, I mentally prepared myself for the experience of shooting the .50 GI for the first time. I try to “roll with it” when it comes to high-pressure loads, like magnums and +Ps. Rather than try to overcome the laws of physics and bend the gun to my stronger will – I have found it much more productive to allow the gun to recoil, using my elbows as shock absorbers. This is how I can spend a day shooting .44 magnum instead of shooting six rounds and going home. As a fictional character who was no stranger to shooting high-powered handguns famously said, “a man’s got to know his limitations.” Levity aside, that’s very true. If I cannot overcome physics and hold a heavy recoiling gun flat while shooting it – why try? Why force that energy into my joints and bones like I would with a competition 9mm load?

Side-by-side, the .50 GI (left) is slightly shorter but certainly more rotund than the .45 ACP (right). Pressures of the .50 GI are similar to a +P .45 ACP.

So, with that thought process in mind, I faced downrange at my target and raised the sights to eye level. Feels like a Glock 21… same sight picture… trigger feels the same… BANG! Hey, that wasn’t so bad. I’ve shot .45 loads that felt this hot. Okay, this is going to be fun!
One of the reasons the gun shoots as nicely as it does is due to the 24-lb. flat-wire recoil spring that Guncrafter uses. That soaks up a whole lot of energy as the slide starts to cycle, and unlike a traditional round-wire spring that has a resistance curve, a flat-wire spring has linear resistance. What this means is that it is applying its maximum strength against the force of recoil from the first instant and evenly through the stroke. Another reason is the Glock frame itself, and all the same benefits that it gives us generally. The polymer frame flexes to absorb some of the recoil. The width of the G21 frame spreads the energy out over a wider surface of your hand than something like a 1911 would. Have someone slowly swing a baseball bat to you and catch the thick end with one hand. Then reverse it, and using the same swing, catch the narrow handle. Feel the difference?

The .50 GI can be purchased as a conversion kit, or as the full pistol as seen here.

After spending part of the day shooting this pistol off-hand from about 12 yards, I was convinced of a few things. It’s fun to shoot. Not the “I’ll pretend it’s fun in front of my buddies” kind of fun, but I mean shooting a hundred rounds or more by yourself fun. It seems pretty accurate. Given that I am always the weakest link in the accuracy formula, the .50 GI puts ’em pretty much where you point it. It seemed to like a tight six o’clock hold and kept the hits within shooter error distance consistently. Perhaps most importantly, it just plain works. Not a single malfunction of any kind all day. The feel of the cycle is sound and deliberate. I’m betting the mean time between failures is very low for this gun.

Guncrafter Industries is the only known supplier of ammo, but they offer a nice variety.

AMMO & ACCURACY

Guncrafter Industries provided several variants of its ammo with the pistol – ranging from 185-grain hollow point to whopping 300-grain flat nose. All copper jacketed. All of the ammunition bore the Guncrafter Industries brand name. Some searching on the Interwebs indicates that your choice for ammunition would be to buy GI or roll your own. If you want to make your own handloads in .50 GI, Lee makes the dies, and GI will sell you the components.
Manufactured ammo runs from about $1.50/round to $2.50/round depending on bullet weight and configuration, with the hollow points being the most expensive. That’s understandable if you take a close look at them—they are meticulously manufactured. The cup of the hollow point bullets looks like it could serve as a candle holder during a power outage and the expansion pre-cuts travel below the case rim. This substantial cost, while certainly not prohibitive, would definitely keep this gun from becoming a plinker!

The components are basic and familiar. The spring is a 24-lb. flat-wire type for maximum recoil management.

The conversion kit includes the full slide assembly and one nine-round magazine.

From a rested position at 25 yards, the results were varied with the 275-grain and 185-grain loads performing the best. The 185-grain load produced a three-shot group that would make anyone proud, at just a hair over ½”! The available ammunition is diverse not only in weight and configuration but also in velocity. The 300-grain bullet walks down range at just 700 fps (though still producing enormous energy), while the lightest 185-grain load splits the air at 1,200 fps. That energy, combined with its accuracy and performance in ballistic gel, makes it a round to be taken seriously. Defending the homestead with this would make one sleep well.

The pistol the author tested did quite well with the 275-grain load.

It also shot well with the lightest 185-grain load.

CONCLUSION

Side by side with the Glock 21. Can you tell which is which?

The .50 GI is far more than a FrankenGlock. The quality of the slide and barrel are superb in both design and construction. The fit and function seem as flawless as the original Glock assembly they replace. I could not make this gun jam or misfeed. Accuracy of the .50 GI is very respectable, especially in the lighter and faster bullet, and the ballistic stats simply scream home-defense. I like that it is available as either a full pistol or as a conversion kit. The price is not out of line with custom work that is more common and less re-defining, such as simple coatings or engravings. With the .50 GI you are literally taking the Glock to the next level.
Down sides – there are a couple. First off, though the pricing is certainly justifiable and reasonable, it is an extravagance. Add in the cost to buy ammo or even the components to reload it, and it is an expensive gun to shoot no matter how you slice it. Lack of commercially available ammunition means that you are not only bound to using GI’s brand but if GI should cease to be, so will your ammo supply. Honestly, I think for the folks that would be interested in the .50 GI, this writer included, those down sides are obvious and insignificant. Whether you would want the Guncrafter .50 Glock pistol to defend hearth and home, or just to get your man card stamped at the range, it delivers. And whether you purchase the full pistol or conversion kit, you still have a Glock frame to which any number of available uppers can be mounted. It also accommodates the rich world of Glock parts and accessories. My Blade Tech holster and mag pouch for Glock 21 fit the gun and magazines just fine. Glock or aftermarket sights are interchangeable too, and even your custom back plate will slip right on. Whether your interest is in having the most stopping power you can get in a manageable and reliable handgun, or just another range toy with bragging rights, the .50 GI is legit and top quality. So, if you want a Glock pistol that will stand out from the crowd, definitely five this one a look.

FUCKING BEARS....... REALLY!!

Man interrupts bear sex, pays the price

Michael Harthorne, Newser staff 3:04 p.m. EDT October 13, 2016

(NEWSER) – Dan Richman must have missed the "do not disturb" sign. Officials believe the 54-year-old hiker interrupted a pair of bears that were trying to mate when he was attacked Monday in the Sierra Madre foothills of California, the Los Angeles Times reports.
According to KABC, Richman was going along a trail when he saw a bear on its hind legs 50 to 100 feet away. It was his first time seeing a bear in person. "I was pretty freaked out," he tells KTLA.
Richman turned around to leave and saw a second bear much closer. His attempt to scare it off by yelling failed, and it attacked when he tried to run by it. Richman played dead, letting the bear put its jaws around his neck, until it gave up.
Richman ran off, not realizing how injured he was until he reached safety. He had a head injury and multiple cuts to his head, legs, feet, and torso. He says he's "fortunate" to have survived, and a local police chief describes it as a "pretty good bear attack."
A spokesperson tells the Times a state game warden believes the bears "may have been a mating pair that was interrupted." “The hiker probably just surprised the bears and they reacted the way an animal with teeth and claws does, attack,” the spokesperson says.
Officials plan to euthanize the bear if it's caught. And Richman says he plans to bring a buddy next time he hits the trail.

17 Nasty Hillary Clinton Facts

17 Nasty Hillary Clinton Facts
If there is anyone with more backroom, ugly scandals than Hillary Clinton in politics or the
grand scope of life in general, you’d be lucky to search this entire planet and find anyone
remotely close. This woman can’t seem to file a document or speak a word without tripping up
a scandal or a controversy, and yet somehow she finds enough benefit of the doubt to spew
constant judgement and condescension at anyone who dares to question the Clinton dynasty.
It takes a snake to maneuver the waters with her level of skill, and it takes a charmer (or an
illusionist) to convince everyone to let her get away with it. Well, you know what? Here’s a nice
reminder of some of the facts, scandals, and carnage Clinton has left in her wake, the kind no
one should ever forget—especially now that this snake/charmer aspires to lead the country for
at least four years.
1 – She’s the first presidential spouse to ever be subpoenaed. This was specifically for her
involvement on the Whitewater controversy. If it doesn’t sound familiar, it’s because this
happened during husband Bill’s presidential campaign and first years in office. As the facts
stand: The New York Times printed an article alleging the Clintons invested and lost money in
the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed venture. From there, an investigation arose
with Bill and Hillary as the focus, and this led to a grand jury subpoena for both Clintons while
Bill was still in office to turn over all related documents. 15 people ended up convicted of
federal charges (though four of them got pardons from husband Bill right before he left office).
2 – She laughed while admitting she got child rapist off the hook. In 1975, Clinton, as an
attorney, represented a man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl whose family he lived with.
Having to defend her client to the best of her ability, she negotiated a plea deal that turned a
potential 30-year sentence into one year and four years’ probation. But the bad part doesn’t
involve the sentence—while being interviewed in the mid-1980s, Clinton acknowledged (but
did not explicitly state) her client lied about raping a child and still passed a polygraph. “I had
him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs
[laughter]!” Someone has poor taste in humor.
3 – She made cash off pollution. As an attorney, Clinton made serious cash through her law
firm and by being on corporate boards before she married husband Bill and took on her “good
wife” image. Some of that cash—roughly $31,000 per year—came from Lafarge, a company
later fined $1.8 million by the EPA for pollution in 1992 (a fine Clinton herself never had to pay
despite her making money off the company). Funny enough, the Clinton administration ending
up knocking that fine down to under $600,000. They do say it’s all about who you know.
4 – She and Bill are the first and only couple to be fingerprinted by the FBI. This was due to a
scandal during the Clinton administration: “Filegate.” In 1996, the Clintons were believed to
have improper access to FBI files. The White House’s personnel security director improperly
requested FBI reports including people who’d served in previous Republican administrations.
And it was there that concern of a “dirty tricks” operation was in place by the Clintons—
something Nixon had operated too. With that, Judiciary Committee chair, Orrin Hatch,
requested the FBI perform fingerprint analyses on both Clintons. However, the FBI confirmed
neither Clinton handled files personally—the beauty of having aides—though her fingerprints
were found on relevant requested documents…two years later, in her family quarters.
5 – She associated with donors who wound up in jail. When Clinton ran for president in 2008,
Norman Hsu, a big Democrat party contributor and fundraiser, was the man who collected
contributions for the party, with these coming from a variety of “sources.” He went long and far
to promote Clinton, but it turned out Hsu was a criminal and—believe it or not—a fugitive who
had been scamming people and businesses for years—$20 million worth. Also, years before
that in mid-90s, Jorge Cabrera was a Democratic supporter who even wrote a personal check of
$20,000 to the party. He was even seen in press pictures with Clinton as First Lady—a few
months later, Cabrera was arrested in a Miami drug bust and got 19 years in prison. Again, it’s
all about who you know.
6 – She and her State Department failed to label Boko Harem a terrorist outfit. Despite the
urging of many within Obama’s administration and hard evidence, Secretary of State Clinton
didn’t label this Nigerian-based Islamic terrorist group a terror threat. Evidence was presented
to the State Department in 2011, but Boko Haram remained off the terror list until 2013. One
government watchdog group found evidence of political conflicts of interest involving foreign
donations and the Clinton Foundation, but it is also interesting to note that Boko Haram didn’t
become a terrorist outfit until after Obama was reelected.
7 – She knew about Bill harassing Paula Jones and did nothing. Paula Jones was a government
worker in Arkansas while husband Bill was governor there, and she alleged she was sexually
harassed by Bill while he was there. She filed a suit in 1994, calling for just under $1 million in
damages, though the case was settled out of court. Years later in 2015, the same Paula Jones
told reporters she believed Hillary knew all about the harassment yet did nothing and simply
supported her husband. Such accusations had weight behind it because of Juanita Broaddrick, a
woman who claimed Bill raped her in 1978 and accused Hillary of “trying to silence her.”
8 – She and her State Department are the reason a US Ambassador was killed in Benghazi.
With the deaths of four Americans, including sitting US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens,
during the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, the State Department initially described this incident as a
spontaneous one when it was actually planned and premediated. Many suspect the State
Department’s desire for a low profile to be the reason why the compound’s security was below
standard—Clinton claimed responsibility for the lapses, but tried to abscond personal blame by
pointing to other professionals in her department who handled security directly.
9 – She was the central figure behind Travelgate, the Clinton administration’s first major
ethics controversy. In this scandal, seven White House employees were fired from its Travel
Office for “irregularities,” some saying so friends of the Clintons could get on staff. Further
evidence suggested Clinton orchestrated the firings and was believed to have lied under oath
years before when the investigations started, as newly discovered evidence contradicted her
statements that she’d had no involvement. Many, unsurprisingly, felt a cover-up was in place.
10 – She thinks women who accuse men of sexual harassment are “whiney.” It’s safe to say if
Clinton were Republican, everyone would’ve heard about her characterization of women who
dare to accuse men of sexually harassment, which anyone with sense would tell you is a
genuine problem, as the “whiney women,” aka victims, of former Senator Bob Packwood (ROR)
would likely agree. According to the notes of Clinton’s good friend, late Professor Diane
Blair, she was “tired of all those whiney women, and she needs [Bill] on health care.” Because
political priorities take precedence over sexual mistreatment and such—this coming from the
woman who invokes the “war on women” to regularly push her agenda.
11 – She took money from Wal-Mart and never acknowledged it afterward. Between 1986
and 1992, Clinton was on the Wal-Mart board, which has been repeatedly criticized for
supposed anti-union activity—Clinton, of course, did nothing about it on a board that included
John Tate, who famously said, “Labor unions are nothing but blood-sucking parasites living off
the productive labor of people who work for a living.” Clinton’s 2008 campaign biography made
absolutely no mention of Wal-Mart, and even further, Clinton was described as “loyal company
woman” by Tate himself Since, you know, a paycheck is a paycheck, even when supreme lack of
respect is running rampant.
12 – She called the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky affair a “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.” This
was her response to the rumors about husband Bill and then White House intern Monica
Lewinsky: “The great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it, is
this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he
announced for president.” One can get the whole woman scorned fact of the matter, but this of
course fell flat when Bill admitted to the affair after lying about it, becoming the second
President to be served the Articles of Impeachment. Since then, Clinton’s phrase has become
part of the Democrat’s toolkit, being used many times including to describe press attacks
against Pres. Obama.
13 – She claimed to have come under sniper fire in Bosnia before recanting. When Clinton was
First Lady in 1996, she made an official visit to Bosnia to meet with American troops stationed
there after the Bosnian War (started in response to the breakup of Yugoslavia) ended. After she
returned, she told the press she and her then 16-year-old daughter came under sniper fire and
could have been killed at the airport. One week later, Clinton took back her comments, claiming
to have “made a mistake” in recounting what happened—especially given that news footage
showed her calmly walking from her plane. She may have figured out claiming the First Lady
and Daughter were under fire in a war-torn, unstable country was a bad idea if completely
false.
14 – She and Bill took items from the White House that weren’t theirs. When the Clintons
moved out of White House at the start of the Bush administration, there were allegations of
“damage, theft, vandalism, and pranks” in abundance. From there, upon moving into their New
York home after the White House, they brought along a whopping $190,000 worth of items
that should have been left in their place, considering those items actually did not belong to
either Clinton. Clinton and husband Bill did ultimately return the items, but the fact that it
happened at all is interesting when considering Clinton’s own admission that she and her
husband were broke and in debt when they left the White House.
15 – She gave speeches for $225,000 a piece but banned the press from them. All three
Clintons—Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea—have earned income through speeches. One year, Clinton
made $11 million for 51 speeches, averaging around $225,000 each. With the level of leverage
that she has, Clinton could have even gotten away with a greater fee, especially given her
speeches were for Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street bigwigs. More than that, however,
Clinton clouds these speeches in complete privacy to the point no one really knows what she
talks about, promoting a secrecy akin to that of the Free Masons. No media, press, live
tweeting, or photos, leaving many suspicious of her coziness with big money, many like that guy
Bernie Sanders. One reporter claims to have never seen so much secrecy for such a big event—
because that’s just how she rolls apparently with her opaque self.
16 – She endangered national security to have a private email server. During Clinton’s time as
Secretary of State, she exclusively used a private email server rather than the official State
Department’s federal servers—the kind that are designed to the best of their ability to protect
classified information including the names of operatives overseas and in the US. By asserting
control of her server, Clinton and her sides could decide which emails to turn over to the State
Department when requested and which emails not to—as such, the State Department has
actually “lost” digital copies of many of the emails the FBI has requested, calling it a “clerical”
error. Given that “CIA names just fall off the page” of Clinton’s easily hackable emails, if she
doesn’t face indictment at the end of the FBI’s investigation, it will be a colossal joke. ***Many
of these emails are now coming out via Wikileaks.
17 – And finally: She claims to have communed with Eleanor Roosevelt. Bob Woodward
reported that while in the White House, Clinton used to have “chats” with long dead First Lady
Eleanor Roosevelt and even Gandhi (also long dead). Such conversations were facilitated by
Jean Houston, co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research, who actually moved into the
White House for a spell—when asked by Houston if she would ever want to address Jesus,
Clinton said it would be “too personal.” Admittedly, this is less a scandal and more just
something weird as hell, but this story alone represents the major power of left-wing media
bias. No one has heard of this, but everyone knew about Nancy Reagan and her love for
astrology to the point of ridiculous contention.
And how many scandals can be tied to Nancy Reagan? Probably not as many as Mrs. Hillary
Rodham Clinton, who may be the least charming charmer of the media this side of the 2000s. In
addition to being someone who should not be president just because she’s always been there
like a mole on your skin.

Arizona's Sheriff Joe Arpaio to face criminal charges over immigration patrols

•  

PHOENIX - Prosecutors said Tuesday they will charge Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio with criminal contempt of court over immigration patrols.
The announcement was made the day before early voting starts in Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s bid for a seventh term as metro Phoenix’s top law enforcer, his toughest fight yet after more than two decades in office. Arpaio, who calls himself “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” made a name for himself cracking down on illegal immigration and forcing jail inmates to wear pink underwear.
The charges were revealed at a hearing to discuss issues raised by another judge’s request that Arpaio face criminal contempt charges after refusing to stop targeting Latinos in patrols.
Prosecutor John Keller said in court that the government will bring charges, with the next step being a court filing that’s akin to a criminal complaint.

Arpaio could face up to six months in jail if convicted of misdemeanor contempt. Arpaio has already been found guilty of civil contempt of court in relation the the patrols.
Arpaio has acknowledged violating the order from U.S. District Judge Murray Snow but insists it wasn’t intentional. Snow disagreed, concluding Arpaio knowingly continued the patrols because he believed his immigration enforcement efforts would help his 2012 re-election campaign.
Chad Willems, Arpaio’s campaign manager, said the sheriff doesn’t have anything to worry about with the hearing occurring just before early voting begins.
“It’s more of a procedural matter at this point today. Our efforts and our internal numbers are showing the sheriff is in a very strong position going into early ballots,” Willems said.

Snow also requested criminal charges against Arpaio and his second in command, Jerry Sheridan, for withholding 50 hard drives in a secret investigation that critics say targeted Snow.
The racial profiling lawsuit that Arpaio lost more than three years ago morphed into a contempt case after the sheriff was accused of violating court orders. It revealed deep flaws in Arpaio’s internal investigations, which Snow said had been manipulated to shield sheriff’s officials from accountability.
County taxpayers have shelled out $48 million so far in the profiling case, and the costs are expected to reach $72 million by next summer. That includes $17 million in spending ordered by Snow to make changes to the agency.
Arpaio would face up to six months in jail if convicted of misdemeanor criminal contempt and an unspecified sentencing range if such a conviction is deemed a felony.
A felony contempt conviction would force Arpaio from office, while he could remain sheriff with a misdemeanor conviction. If prosecutors charge him, the case is not expected to be designated as a misdemeanor or felony until later.
Among his many exploits, Arpaio is known nationwide for forcing inmates to wear pink underwear and jailing them in canvas tents during Phoenix’s triple-degree summer heat. He has faced his most crushing legal defeats in the nearly 9-year-old racial profiling case, which focused on his immigration patrols.
