How Could Hillary Be so Stupid?

I didn't really think too much about how Hillary Clinton was dressed for the debate until a couple of hours ago.  Like most bachelors I don't think much about the significance of  women's clothing unless it's kind of revealing.

I thought Hillary's old lady type pantsuit looked vaguely inappropriate,  but didn't recognize that red is not a good color for the wife of a sexual  predator to wear to what is essentially a job interview.   Red is a color long associated with prostitution dating back at least to the fall of Jericho when the prostitute Rahab hung a red cord on her house to let the Israelis know not to harm her or her family.    Areas where prostitutes are sometimes called "red light districts"  because railroad workers would leave their red lanterns outside while taking a break.

Many women, especially those of Hillary's age,  seem to use the type of pantsuit Hillary wore like men use a t-shirt and jeans. I sometimes see women wearing such attire at Walmart.   I call her a attire a "pantsuit" because that is how it was described by one of the women helping with the broadcast    My first thought when I saw it was "why was Hillary wearing pajamas?" At the very least it looked like "comfort clothing" rather than something that indicated the person wearing it was serious about wanting a job.

Her clothing may be one reason I got the impression she was just there to have fun.  The happy expression she showed when she got recite one of her favorite catch phrases was almost childlike.  I previously published a post wondering if Hillary had Alzheimer's.  This type of inappropriate behavior would be consistent with that hypothesis. 

Is Hillary Taking "Happy Pills"?

The biggest difference  between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the first presidential debate  is that Trump took the debate seriously and Clinton was on a lark.  I vaguely remember her having an occasional serious expression on her face,  but my primary impression was of someone having a fun time at a party.  I have tried to convince myself that  she was overjoyed at being able to repeat one of her favorite cliches,  but at times it seemed like she was almost about  to giggle

I'm not a party animal, so the closest thing I have to observing someone who is "having a good time" is watching characters on television.  If I saw a tv character behaving like Hillary it would be because she was high on something.

How Severe Is Hillary's Health Problem?

The request from New York Times technology columnist Farhad Manjoo that Google censor searches for information about Hillary Clinton's health strongly implies  that Manjoo knows she suffers from some type of severe health problem.   So does the Huffington Post's banning of David Seaman because of an article about Clinton's health. 

There would be no reason to censor health related searches about Clinton if her problem is something like Parkinson's as rumors attributed to Secret Service agents suggest.   Rev. Billy Graham has Parkinson's as did Pope John Paul II and various American political leaders and other celebrities.  Medication allows people with Parkinson's to continue to function.

There would be no reason to censor health searches if Clinton has heart trouble.  President Dwight Eisenhower was reelected in 1956 even though he had had a heart attack in 1955.

Censorship would make sense if Hillary is in the early stages of Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia.  Alzheimer's can be difficult to diagnose because the individual symptoms can also occur normally.   Hillary's desire to spend a large sum on Alzheimer's research could be for personal reasons.

For example,  Alzheimer's could have played a role in some of Hillary's controversies.  Some of her actions such as the ones listed below,  are consistent with symptoms of Alheimer's.

Poor judgement:  Her decision to leave American diplomats in Benghazi after an attack on the British ambassador's motorcade involved poor judgement.   Alzheimer's could also explain the poor judgeent shown in using a private email server.

Memory loss is the symptom most of us think of as being associated with Alzheimer's:  Thus, Hillary's inability to remember important facts about Benghazi and other events could be a symptom of Alzheimer's.

Misplacing things:   Those lost emails could indicate Alzheimer's.

Withdrawal from social situations: Hillary's unwillingness to hold press conferences could indicate Alzheimer's.

Alzheimer's can be difficult to diagnose in its early stages.   The above examples of Hillary's behavior could indicate Alzheimer's or could indicate normal conditions.   For example, her poor decisions could just indicate limited intelligence.

Russia Isn't America's Enemy

Hillery Clinton claims that Donald Trump cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons.   Actually, it's Hillary Clinton and her supporters I don't trust with nuclear weapons.   Based on comments made at the Democratic convention they still think Russia is our enemy.

Hillary's preoccupation with nuclear weapons implies she thinks there is a possibility of a new cold war with Russia even though there would be  no reason for such a war.unless she created one

We need a president who recognizes that Russia is not our enemy.  The Cold War ended decades ago.

Russia is not our enemy.  Neither is the Democratic Republic of Vietnam or the People's Republic of China.   There is no international communist conspiracy to take over the world.  The United States is even normalizing relations with Cuba.

Anti-Russian groups  misrepresent Russia as the villain in the Ukraine civil war  instead of recognizing that the real villain  is the  European Union and/or President Barack Obama.

The fact is that when Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych rejected a demand to turn control of Ukraine over to the European Union, a Nazi Germany like "fifth column" overthrew the legitimate government and replaced it with an EU puppet government.  There is disagreement about whether the EU or President Barack Obama directed the coup.  The West Europeans and the United States both have a history of such behavior.   The quick recognition of the rebel's control by the EU means the EU was aware of the plot even if it didn't order it.

The illegal change in government broke any contract between Ukraine and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.   The people of Crimea were free to become independent or seek an association with Russia.  Thus there is nothing wrong with Russia working with Crimea.

 The anti-Russian attitudes expressed by some of the rebels created an understandable fear of  a Balkan type "ethnic cleansing" campaign against ethnic Russians.   Ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine recognized they were not wanted  and sought to separate from Ukraine.  Russia has been far more restrained in responding to this situation then the United States has been in the past.  

The United States has invaded other countries for far less significant reasons.  The U.S. invasion of Libya could be used as justification for Russian intervention in eastern Ukraine.

Reactionary Justices Resurrect Plessy v. Ferguson Attitude

On June 27, in the worst ruling since Plessy v. Ferguson five white Supreme Court Justices told the State of Texas it had to ignore the 14th Amendment requirement to provide "equal  protection of the laws".

The ruling was even worse than   Plessy.  Plessy  merely allowed states to enact  Jim Crow segregation laws.   Justice  Stephen Breyer's opinion in  Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt  requires the state of Texas  to allow continued operation of Jane Crow health facilities.   A  Jane Crow facility provides health care to black women but doesn't have to meet the same high standards as facilities that treat white men.

Abortion surgery involves the removal of a significant sized biomass from deep inside a woman's body much like cancer surgery does.  The Texas  law requires facilities performing abortion surgery on women to meet standards for surgical facilities that treat white men.   Women occasionally die from carelessly performed abortion surgery including Tanya Reaves who bled to death after an abortion at an unlicensed Jane Crow facility in Chicago or Cree Erwin who recently died in Battle Creek, Michigan, after an abortion at an as yet unidentified facility.     
 
Justice Breyer's reasoning is consistent with the type of reasoning used by justices in the late 19th Century.  He falsely claims that the law places a burden on those seeking abortions. The law doesn't restrict patients from seeking abortions.  The law merely forces those organizations that want to get money from performing abortions to spend enough money to maximize patient safety. The law requires abortion facilities to function like 21st Century medical facilities instead of mid-20th Century abortion mills.   The law doesn't restrict anyone's "right" to an abortion.   The law merely forces organizations performing abortions to spend more money on patient safety even if that reduces the amount of money available for the salaries of doctors and patients.

Breyer's reasoning is comparable to late 19th Century Court rulings that prevented states from protecting workers from predatory employers.  The Court claimed that such laws interfered with workers' freedom of contract.

The justices who agreed with Breyer are similar to the justices who allowed Jim Crow segregation laws to remain in effect for 60 years.  The justices during the Jim Crow era simply ignored the fact that the facilities provided for blacks were inferior.  I don't know whether they intended to be racists, but for all practical purposes they were.   I don't know if the justices who overturned the Texas law which would have eliminated substandard Jane Crow facilities intend to be racists, but they are. 

Slick Willie Spins Princess Hillary Fairy Tale

Liars characteristically become so overconfident that they try to get away with obvious lies.

Former President Bill Clinton's fairy tale like biography of Hillary's life omitted some significant facts and ended with a blatant lie.  Slick Willie  implied Hillary's early career was about charity type work.  He omitted the fact she had a  high prestige job with the Senate Watergate Committee perhaps because he didn't want to remind  people Hillary  and President Richard Nixon both avoided prosecution for their questionable actions.

Slick Willie mentioned that Hillary got a job with the "oldest law firm west of the Mississippi" without mentioning that the Rose Law Firm would become  a symbol of corruption after Hillary's association with it.  He didn't mention the fact that a firm whose clients could have problems with the state might have hired the Arkansas Attorney General's wife to gain leverage with state agencies.  .

Slick Willie ended his discussion with a blatant lie about Hillary helping resolve conflicts in other countries.  .I doubt that the residents of Libya and other Middle Eastern countries she helped wreck would agree with him.   The families of the men she allowed to die in Benghazi have already said they don't trust her. 

The British government pulled its diplomats out of Benghazi after at attempt to kill its ambassador.  Why did Hillary leave our ambassador there to die? 

Wolves in Women's Clothing

A recent "Charlotte Observer" editorial repeats  common ignorance about efforts to protect the sexual privacy of women.    "Yes, the thought of male genitalia in girls’ locker rooms – and vice versa – might be distressing to some. But the battle for equality has always been in part about overcoming discomfort – with blacks sharing facilities, with gays sharing marriage – then realizing that it was not nearly so awful as some people imagined."

The "Observer's" editorial board apparently views the facts of life as they might be resented on  the "Brady Bunch" instead of on a cop show.   A woman has as much a right to be distressed if a male stranger exposes his genitals to her as a black man would if a white man showed him a hangman's noose.  

We human males are sexual predators by our animal nature.  Most of us learn when we are young that females have the right to decide if they want a physical relationship.  A man cannot knock a woman in the head with a club and drag her into his cave.  If he wants a physical relationship with a woman he must woo her with words, candy, flowers, etc.. Or, he can purchase a temporary relationship with a member of the world's "oldest profession".

Unfortunately, some men never learn this.   Like wolves they think any female is a potential sexual conquest.   These animals use their "junk" [to borrow David Letterman's term] as a sexual assault weapon much like  others use a knife or a gun.  Doctors can sometimes  heal the physical scars caused by a knife or gun, but the psychological scars caused by a sexual assault can last a lifetime.    A man who shows his junk to a woman who hasn't agreed to a physical relationship is threatening her well being  just like someone who threatens her with a knife or gun. 

Women  cannot read men's minds.  A woman in a restroom has no way of knowing in  advance if a man dressed as a woman is a harmless transsexual or a vicious wolf in women's clothing.

Contrary to the opinion   to the opinion of the "Observer" editorial, differences in skin color are not the same as sexual differences.   A white person cannot get black skin by touching a black person, but a man can force his DNA into a woman and possibly get her  pregnant.
