How does Hillary show she's healthy?

We all remember seeing films of Ronald Reagan on his ranch.
Riding horses and chopping wood.
Things that showed a man in his 70s was still physically healthy.
When can Hillary Clinton do to give us similar visuals?
Does she do anything athletic besides the yoga she talked about in her emails?
Where are the pictures?
Would they help?
You can say you're healthy.
We want to see.
No hiding behind your staff and ducking for a break.
Can she do it?

Dying to be president

If you're not healthy, why would you run for president?
Especially if you've had your fame and made your fortune.
It's a head-scratcher.
Hillary Clinton could be enjoying her two grandchildren, instead of exposing them to pneumonia.
It would be a much better life for her.
And the country.

Hard to swallow

Powerline gives space to a doctor trying to figure out the puzzle of Hillary Clinton's health.
I consider aspiration pneumonia to be the more likely cause because it unifies all the pieces of disparate information that are available on Hillary’s medical condition. A diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia raises profoundly troubling implications for her possible election as president.
Why the speculation?
It's all we have right now.
Besides trusting Hillary's team to release potentially bad news.

Sept. 11 is Hillary's bad day

Four years ago, the Benghazi attack happened on Sept. 11.
Four Americans died and opened up the investigation on what Hillary Clinton did while the attack was ongoing.
This Sept. 11, she struggles with her health in New York.
And it's caught on tape.
Good thing for her this is the last Sept. 11 where she will be a major political figure.

Today's big question

Hillary Clinton felt overheated at the 9-11 ceremony Sunday.
The big question.
Did anyone else there need medical attention?
There were thousands of people there.
If it was so hot and humid that a normal person would feel overheated, there should be others.
Find them, media.

Have you forgotten

In case you've forgotten, Darryl Worley will remind you about 9-11.


Whose government has let them down

Slate tries to defend Hillary Clinton.
It's a tough go.
The "basket of deplorables" comment is a look into the soul of Clinton and her supporters.
Now, some of those folks—they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket—and I know this because I see friends from all over America here—I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas—as well as, you know, New York and California—but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change.
The "deplorables" find common cause with those let down by the government.
Who has led the government for the past eight years?
President Obama.
If people feel they aren't being listened to - and they support Trump - it's because they are disappointed in what Obama has done.
Not Democratic talking points about "Republican obstruction."
It's not Trump who's elevated those Clinton calls deplorables.
It's Obama and his team.
And she's part of that team.

Illary

A simple picture sums up the current campaign.

It's Axis of Fedorables against you

Poor Hillary can't even read her lines right.
It's not Basket of Deplorables.
It's Axis of Fedorables who are against her.

Reading the zeitgeist

Scott Adams has a feeling - the Trump landslide will happen.

Hillary lost the election in January 2009

I want to get ahead of the curve.
Sure, Hillary appears to have a lead now.
But it's fading.
A few more debates and then the Trump landslide?
Why?
Hillary's email decision in January 2009.
Simple and easy to understand.
Everybody who votes uses email.
They have rules for email at their work.
They know they have to follow those rules.
Hillary bent the State Department rules to set up her own system.
She wanted to keep her private stuff out of the State Department email.
But when you're Secretary of State, everything you do is part of your official job.
Her work bled over into the private system.
If, after years in the public eye in Arkansas and Washington, she could choose this email path, it makes you wonder.
What other rules would she bend as president?
You can fear Trump for not acting like you think a president should.
You fear Hillary that she'll act like she always has as president.

Money can't buy her love

Remember the August talk of how Hillary Clinton was winning the ad wars.
There were Clinton ads on every Olympics telecast.
What did it get her?
Democrats hoped the stomp Trump in August and coast to Election Day.
They shot at Trump, but didn't take him down.

Who else coughs like this?

Is Hillary Clinton coughing during speeches a big deal?
Who else do you hear doing that?
Rarely.
Because if a politician was coughing during speeches over a short period of time, the networks would run the video.
Since it is different than the usual speech.

Coughing corner

Hillary Clinton spoke Monday.
Hillary Clinton coughed Monday.
The former secretary of state has suffered from coughing fits at times throughout the Democratic presidential primary, but has not had a public coughing fit recently. However the frog in Clinton's throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she's had during her 2016 run and left her almost unable to finish her remarks.

Laboring to the new next

Mark Steyn uses this Labor Day to wonder what happens to the laborers when there's no work for them to do.
Manufacturing produces the same amount with about a third of the labor that it took in 1950. By 2010, the US economy had restored pre-recession levels of output but without restoring pre-recession levels of employment: It turned out there was no reason to hire back laid off workers, and a lot of reasons not to, once you factor in the taxes, insurance and the other burdens the state imposes on you for putting even modest sums in the pocket of employees you don't really need.

Don't make me talk to people

Good thing Ann Althouse watches the Sunday shows.
We need to be ready for how Hillary Clinton deals with people.
No press conferences.
No big speeches in front of people.
She'll talk to her friends and they'll tell us what's going on.
Forget the State of the Union speech.
She'll send us an email.
Sorry Hillary, but that's not the way to become president of all the people.

Wasted endorsement

The Richmond Times-Dispatch has come out with an early endorsement - Gary Johnson for president.
The endorsement ends with some wishful thinking.
These are unsettling times. Americans across the political spectrum worry that our once-great institutions no longer work in the interests of the people — and sometimes don’t work at all. Why not take this chance to reject the binary choice between Clinton and Trump that was created by our two-party system? We strongly urge the debate commission to invite Johnson onto the stage to give voters an opportunity to hear his positions, to evaluate his temperament, and, perhaps most important, to compare him with the candidates nominated by the two traditional parties.
Sorry, but most voters look at just the two major parties.
When Johnson doesn't make the debates in three weeks, his door slams shut.
It's either Trump or Hillary, like it or not.

Candidate of the ultrarich

Would you like to ask Hillary Clinton a question?
How much money do you have?
She's been hanging out with rich people the last two weeks, so she can run TV ads showing how she cares for all people.

I forgot

Evil Blogger Lady remembers, even if Hilary Clinton doesn't.
Paul Shanklin's Rush Limbaugh's Hillary "I don't remember" parody was way closer to the truth than people realized at the time. Hillary Clinton is either a completely corrupt criminal or her brain really is jello.  Actually it is probably both.The more we find out about Hillary Clinton's email debacle, the worst it gets.

Making poop not stink

Via Powerline, California's plans to reduce emissions from cows - both flatulence and manure.
The legislation seeks to reduce methane emissions associated with manure to 40 percent below their 2013 levels by 2030. Methane is one of several gases known as short-lived climate pollutants that don’t persist for long in the atmosphere but have a huge influence on the climate.
Who's in charge of getting cows to poop out cleaner waste?

Warming up for Colin Kaepernick's visit to San Diego Thursday.
Before protesting, you need to look at the calendar.

Postseason in their future?

College football gets going this weekend.
The University of Virginia has a new coach, and maybe hope of playing a game in December.
My prediction is Virginia will finish somewhere between worst-case scenario 5-7 to best-case scenario 7-5. I’m thinking 6-6, but wouldn’t be surprised if this team finds its way to seven wins under Coach Bronco Mendenhall.
There are a few swing games -- Pitt, Louisville, Miami, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech -- that will likely determine the finish, but I believe the biggest swing game of the season is at UConn on Sept. 17. Win that one over former UVa defensive coordinator Bob Diaco (under Al Groh), and there’s a good chance that the Cavaliers will go 3-1 nonconference, meaning they have to win only three of eight ACC games to become bowl-eligible.
