Annie Oakley, indeed.

The document shows Clinton approved a sale of over 4 million dollars ($4,195,110.40 by my count) by the Remington Arms Company of New York in 2012. This is particularly notable because Remington is the same gun maker that made the AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle (a Bushmaster XM15-E2S) used by Adam Lanza in the Sandy Hook massacre in December of 2012. Remington Arms is now the subject of the families’ lawsuit.

The only awkward thing about the NYDN interview was the ignorance of the interviewer.

This is another MEDIA SCANDAL, like the false assertion by AP that Al Gore said he invented the Internet. Just another day at the office, lying about Bernie Sanders. We must educate people about this Media Whore narrative. Thom Hartmann exposes the lying "journalists" for what they are: Shillaries.

Hillary backers, will you pledge to follow the 2008 Obama precedent?

In 2008, Obama won more pledged delegates than Hillary by the end of the primary. Consequently, Super Delegates switched from Hillary to Obama and he thus won the nomination. So will you now pledge that if Bernie ends up in June with more pledged delegates, you will encourage the Super Delegates to follow suit?

The revolution is happening in Kansas!

Today at 1pm CDT, I am guest hosting the radio podcast http://www.blogtalkradio.com/fightincockflyer "Sunday on Sanders," in order to interview Mike Pryor (Democratic candidate, Second Congressional District of Kansas) and Mike Caddell (Democratic candidate for State Representative, 47th District of Kansas) about the issues and their campaigns. Below I have included Mike Pryor's announcement about the show. You are invited to call in with questions and comments at 646-716-8652. To listen to the show, go to the link above and click on "Sunday on Sanders." Hope to hear from you!

N.B. If people feel this violates the statement of purpose, I will gladly remove it. I believe it is appropriate because a major part of the revolution is picking up Congressional seats and filling them with progressive Democrats!

My friend, Mike Caddell, who produces the show, is running for the Kansas State Legislature, 47th District will be my guest to be interviewed about his campaign, and I will turn over my chair to another friend, Steve Robinson, who will interview me about my plans to capture the Kansas Second Congressional District. I hope you folks will phone in with your comments and questions, particularly when I discuss my platform.

Is your state Democratic Party one of the 32 sellouts?

This is a follow-up to an OP cited at the very bottom. But to discover what the "Hillary Victory Fund" is and why it is so sleazy, you should read this WaPo article:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/democratic-party-fundraising-effort-helps-clinton-find-new-donors-too/2016/02/19/b8535cea-d68f-11e5-b195-2e29a4e13425_story.html

Bottom line: 32 states were persuaded/coerced into this infamous cabal last year. Here they are listed with the source being Hillary's website (see very bottom of linked page):

AK, AR, CO, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NV, NH, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WV, WI, and WY

Oh and by the way, DailyKos may have been sucked into the morass:

Trump attacks Pope, uses subjunctive mood, shocks linguists.

AP—

February 18, 2016. Las Vegas, Nevada.

In a surprise move, Donald Trump utilized the subjunctive mood in expressing himself regarding the Pope today. Linguists , who previously had analyzed his syntax, grammar and vocabulary in declaring he spoke like a fifth grader, had to frantically repeat their analyses in order to re-calculate, this time including his comments published today.

“We have to admit, he may be able to express himself like a high schooler,” said professor Balden Snooty, from the campus at the University of Las Vegas. “But our computer analysis has been upgraded to include emotional age as well. Emotionally, he’s still a fifth grader.”

Bookmarking to rebut more lies.

Because they tend to be recycled by the Clinton propaganda machine.
