“The Democrats have become too extreme,” Mr. Trump said at a rally on Tuesday in Council Bluffs, Iowa. “And they’ve become, frankly, too dangerous to govern. They’ve gone wacko.” Democrats, he added, are practicing the “politics of anger, division and destruction.” In Erie on Wednesday night, he again warned about the “radical Democrat mob.”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s security clearance has been revoked at her request, the State Department told lawmakers, according to a letter made public Friday.
Clinton’s clearance was withdrawn on Aug. 30, according to a letter from the State Department to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), which he released.
Five others associated with Clinton, including longtime aide Cheryl Mills, also had their clearances revoked on Sept. 20, according to the letter. The aides were known as “research assistants,” which allowed them to keep their clearances after their time at the department concluded.
The move comes almost a year after Grassley asked the department to investigate and review whether Clinton’s aides still had security clearance.

new York times: Republican Candidate in Pennsylvania Threatens to ‘Stomp All Over’ Opponent’s Face
Standing by the side of the road three weeks before Election Day, Scott Wagner, the Republican candidate for governor in Pennsylvania, wanted to send a message to the incumbent, Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat. It said, in part: “I’m going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes.”
That violent imagery was perhaps the most jarring of several verbal bombs thrown by Mr. Wagner in a video posted to Facebook on Friday, as the country approaches the homestretch of a tense campaign season. By Friday afternoon the video had been viewed over 28,000 times.
“Well, Governor Wolf, let me tell you what, between now and Nov. 6, you better put a catcher’s mask on your face, because I’m going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes,” Mr. Wagner roared, as the sound of cars whizzing past could be heard nearby. “Because I’m going to win this for the state of Pennsylvania. And we’re throwing you out of office. Because I’m sick and tired of your negative ads.”
The ad came as both parties have sparred over the level of civility in politics, with Republicans recently likening Democratic protesters during the confirmation hearings for Brett M. Kavanaugh to a mob and criticizing remarks about Justice Kavanaugh by various Democrats.
Unsurprisingly, Mr. Wolf’s campaign condemned Mr. Wagner’s remarks.
“Scott Wagner’s latest rant shows he is unhinged and unfit for office,” Beth Melena, a spokeswoman, said in a statement. “Threats of violence have no place in society, especially from someone running for public office.”

Yeah, Dems are the angry mob. Like in Pennsylvania. Ummm, mr. dotard sir, projection much? The irony that IMPOTUS ‘ comments about Dems practicing politics of hate and division were made in PA is too rich for words.
He’s practiced at the art of projection.
He’s completely off the rails now.
I don’t think Faux stopped showing him because the ratings are down I think they did so he wouldn’t appear as crazy as he actually is.
C S Lewis
KC, good chance you are right about that.
Sturg, great pick and mod.
Btw, I think maybe that was Mrs. P parking. You sure it wasn’t a skinny redhead driving?
I guess the guy thought if he was sitting in the car he wasn’t really parked.Go figure.
On second thought, he was just prepared for a fast get away.
Or:
When Democrats are energized it is mistaken for extremism. The Trump White House must be trying to prepare for a real ass kicking at the polls come Election Day.
My neck of the woods will vote blue regardless I wish I was more confident in the rest of the country. When all is said and done Democrats will have more total votes nation wide than Republicans,just not sure those votes will come from the right places. Taking both the house and the senate appears to be a long shot but Democrats really need to take one or the other.
What am I missing?
As their small corner of the great melting pot shrinks their only path to winning is to lie, cheat, connive, and steal. They even have a god who directs them to do so. It’s good for business to have a compliant god.
The great god, Necessity.
People with big piles of money always have to be afraid of somebody trying to take it…….they get like Smaug.

“I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency,” McRaven wrote in an editorial with the headline “Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President.”
On Aug. 30, Clinton’s representative wrote a letter to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security at the U.S. State Department asking for a withdraw of her clearance “immediately.”
“[Clinton] has no desire to have her clearance become part of an unprecedented partisan controversy over the clearance process, for the reason eloquently stated by Admiral William McRaven,” Clinton’s attorney wrote.
The late August letter was meant to be received quietly because the former secretary of state didn’t want her decision to make headlines and be used for “partisan purposes,” according to Merrill.
“Secretary Clinton has great respect for Admiral McRaven,” Merrill wrote in a tweet on Friday. “She read this message & decided to take the step of voluntarily withdrawing her security clearance, which she maintained after leaving her post as Secretary of State to write her book, customary for former Secretaries.”

They know that Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant of Ohio, right?
General Lee surrendered to General Grant. Grant could have confiscated all the confederate firearms and sold them to his business connections in Mexico. He missed a great chance to recoup some of the costs of the war.
sigh.
Grant wasn’t known as a businessman that I’m aware of. Apparently not.
Parking………Master Round
They should have a back-window sticker that says MAGA Hat on Board
He had to literally back over the NO PARKING sign to park there.
He was there when I went in (grocery), He was there when I came out. Idling. Patiently waiting for someone.
the white part is sidewalk. No hard curb so you can roll your cart out into the parking lot.
Rules are for suckers.
When he saw me take the picture, as I’m walking away, he gets out, looks, and then gets in and pulls up two feet, off the sign.
lol
Sturg, an argument for driverless cars.

nbc news clarifying the clearance withdrawal:
[…]
Clinton’s decision comes after Admiral William McRaven penned an op-ed in the Washington Post rebuking President Donald Trump’s decision to revoke former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance in mid-August, according to her spokesperson Nick Merrill.
“I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency,” McRaven wrote in an editorial with the headline “Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President.”
