HILLARY’S HEALTH STATUS IS IFFY: Drudge is on it, too. Check out the photos and her difficult trip up the stairs. When will the media question Hillary’s health status? Hey, back off, man. She has Media Privilege. (And this is an example of it.)

THE END OF GLOBALIZATION? International Security Implications.
Well, (almost) nobody wants autarky. But with fracking bringing us plenty of oil and gas, while robots reduce the value of cheap foreign labor, the United States probably will need international trade less than it has since World War II.
IS THERE A LIST SOMEWHERE OF NICE THINGS CELEBRITIES SAID ABOUT HUGO CHAVEZ? A Socialist Les Miserables in Venezuela.
A mob of starving people advanced on the presidential palace chanting, “We want food”. They were met by soldiers and police dispatched by the tyrant from his lavish palace decorated opulently with a golden sun, giant rock crystal mirrors, sparkling chandeliers and towering oil portraits.
The scene wasn’t 19th century France, but 21st century Venezuela.
And if you are wondering why you haven’t seen it on the news, it’s because Venezuela is a Socialist disaster area that was once being used as a model by the left. Now it’s a place where the vast majority of people can’t afford basic food staples and a third are down to two or fewer meals a day.
Obama laughed and joked with deceased monster Hugo Chavez, who handed him a copy of the anti-American tract, “Open Veins of Latin America” that had even been disavowed by its own author. Obama called the book a “nice gesture”, but Eduardo Galeano, its author, had told an audience that the left “commits grave errors” when in power.
Venezuela, once a wealthy oil state, where the doctors offering “universal health care” have no medicine and starving people loot government stores looking for food, is yet another example. 50 people are dead in the latest food riots. Their graves are yet another “grave error” of the left.
Obama has not appeared too concerned at the meltdown in Venezuela. Unlike Syria, there are no threats of intervention to remove Maduro, Chavez’s successor, and the rest of the leftist regime illegally clinging to power while slaughtering Venezuelans, smuggling drugs and aiding terrorists.
When Hugo Chavez was killed by the wonders of Cuban medicine, a remedy that American leftists recommend to others while they obtain the best private health care for their own ailments, Obama offered a vague statement of support calling Chavez’s passing, “challenging”.
It was certainly that.

THE NEW YORK TIMES GETS SOMETHING RIGHT: The Times notes Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been jealous of Kemal Ataturk for a long time. I’d say 25 years, at least. Here’s some documentation for my assertion. As for the July 15, 2016 coup? Erdogan’s smashed it. It appears Erdogan’s story of barely escaping assassination was a lie. Hmmm. Now he’s solidifying personal power.

ANDREW KLAVAN: Hannity vs Stephens: The GOP in a Nutshell.
I’ve always found a lot to admire in both Hannity and Stephens. Sean’s just the kind of top-notch broadcaster the right needs to get its message across. Stephens is an excellent and moral observer of foreign affairs. I agree with Hannity that the elites and the elected did not do enough to stop the Obama agenda. I agree with Stephens that Trump is a serious bad news dude. (Though I think Hillary is at least as bad, a discussion for another day).
But as these two men do seem to represent two warring sides of the Republican Party, I’d like to point out, with respect, where I think both of them have gone wrong along the way.
