Introduction

n January 20, 2017, at
precisely noon, our worst nightmare may, unfortunately, come true. Because at that moment, as the president-elect places a hand on the Bible to swear the oath of office before the chief justice, a smiling Hillary Clinton may be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

President Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Think about it. She could be our commander-in-chief in less than a year. We cannot let that happen. We've got to stop her. And Donald Trump, more than anyone else, can do that. He can win in November and save America from a Hillary presidency, save us from the ruination of America as we know it. Because we know all too well what a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like: four long years of another bizarre Clinton administration, featuring the Clintons' signature style of endless drama, interminable scandals, constant lies, blatant cronyism and corruption, incessant conflicts of interest,
nepotism, pathological secrecy, hatred of the press, his and her enemies lists, misuse of government power, inherent paranoia, macho stubbornness, arrogant contempt for the rule of law, nutty gurus, and thirst for war. Those will be the disastrous and unavoidable hallmarks of a Hillary regime.

But there's even more to brace ourselves for: The inmates will be running the asylum. Just imagine Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, Tony Rodham, Roger Clinton, Hillary guru Sidney Blumenthal (along with input from his anti-Semitic son, Max), the wacky David Brock, Huma Abedin, Terry McAuliffe, and all of Hillary's favorite Wall Street hedge fund guys crawling around the White House and determining our national policies. That's what we'll be seeing: Hillary's unqualified and greedy cronies and her money-grubbing family members running our country, ruining our country, as they frantically pad their pockets.

And coupled with that, there will be a resumption and expansion of the corrupt institutional intertwining of the Clinton Foundation and its donors with every government policy imaginable. Hillary did an outstanding job in rewarding the foundation's foreign and corporate donors with State Department largesse. But there's so much more to grab.

Think about the billions in energy contracts, grants from the Commerce Department or the Agriculture Department, and the myriad stores of other government money just waiting for the Clinton pirates. They've been thinking about it and undoubtedly have a long list and will be ready to pounce on day one.

For years, journalists have been discussing “Clinton fatigue.” Nowhere is that exhaustion more evident than in the past year. After revelation after revelation about the corruption at the Clinton Foundation and the cozy relationship between its corporate and foreign government donors and the Clinton State Department, we're drained. The corruption is so vast, so pervasive, so complicated that we can't keep up with it. But remember, Bill and Hillary had no problem keeping track of the complexities of their vast unscrupulous activities.

After 55,000 Clinton e-mails were released and we've listened to her endless implausible explanations, we're worn out. We're suffering from advanced Clinton fatigue. We're becoming immune to the Clintons' conduct. It's too overwhelming. That's understandable, but that's exactly what they want us to do—just forget about it. After Hillary's negative publicity after her “dead broke” comment, Bill Clinton commented that it was lucky to be happening so far ahead of the election. He was counting on the memory fading. But we can't afford to do that. If we do, it will simply enable them to continue their corrupt conduct and embolden them to go even further.

That's why Donald Trump is the perfect opponent for Hillary. He's tough, he's audacious, and he's focused. He's not at all intimidated by the Clintons or their slimy investigators. In fact, it's just the opposite: the Clintons fear Trump's attacks and know that he won't hesitate to bring up anything—from corruption issues to Bill Clinton's women. Look at how effortlessly Trump injected the issue of Bill Clinton's womanizing into the campaign. The media had been silent on Bill's women for more than a decade. All that changed when Hillary accused Trump of being a sexist. The move backfired and gave Hillary a very clear idea of how Trump would unhesitatingly—and effectively—use her vulnerabilities against her. Within minutes of her comments, Trump countered by claiming Hillary was married to a sex abuser: “She's got one of the great women abusers of all time sitting in her house, waiting for her to come home for dinner.”

Suddenly the mainstream media was loudly discussing Bill's dalliances. At the same time, a number of the women who had accused Bill of hitting on them came forward, including one who had made an accusation of rape. Even
The New York Times
and
The Washington Post
were suddenly covering Trump's comments about Bill Clinton's sordid history. How did Hillary react to Trump's dragging Bill's sex life into the campaign? Well, Bill and Hillary were suddenly very quiet about Donald Trump. No more barbs about Trump. So we know what to expect and so should Hillary: Donald Trump will never back away from a daily barrage of statements aimed at exposing Hillary's
history or corruption and incompetence and Bill's history of sexual abuse and misconduct. Stay tuned.

Trump understands what's at stake if she wins.

If Hillary makes it to the White House, her misuse of government agencies to achieve her goals will be widespread. For those who were incensed by the illegal targeting of conservative groups by Obama's IRS, expect more of the same, just on a much larger scale. Hillary Clinton will heartily embrace any scheme that targets her enemies and weakens the Citizens United decision. The Clintons love to zero in on their enemies: investigating and targeting those who cause personal and political problems for them. They take no prisoners. Over the years, they've created their own private FBI, the detectives who find dirt on their political opponents, personal critics, and, especially, on Bill's women. We named them the Clinton's “Secret Police” in our columns in 1997. And they've been successful. Consider this: Every one of the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual abuse while he was in the White House was eventually audited by the IRS. What a coincidence!

It seems that someone was watching out for Bill. Taylor Branch's audio diaries of his contemporaneous interviews of Bill Clinton in the White House revealed that Bill offered information about Paula Jones on October 2, 1997, just two weeks after Paula Jones and her husband received the audit notice. According to Branch, “Clinton said ‘I didn't have anything to do with it, and I know nobody around here had to do with her getting audited by the IRS.'” (Of course not!) “‘But,' he said, ‘independently, it stands to some reason, she doesn't have any visible means of support and is always traveling around and driving a new car, no job, so forth.'”

It stand to reason? Hmmm. Wonder where Bill got that information about someone he claimed to know nothing about? From his private investigators, maybe? Yes, definitely. Terry Lenzner, head of the IGI Group recalled in his memoir that he “was hired by Clinton's defense lawyers to look into Mrs. Jones background . . .” using public documents, especially as it
related to her “economic situation and sources of income.”
3
So what public documents would tell them what Paula Jones's income was? Tax records and employee records are not public documents. Bank records are certainly not public documents. So how did they find out that Paula Jones was not regularly employed? (and how did they miss that her husband was employed and making $37,000 a year?) Did the IRS help out? And, speaking of the IRS, was it really ever the practice of the IRS to audit people because they get new cars? That's definitely a new criteria for an audit—undoubtedly a special one for women who cause trouble for a president. It's obvious that two things were going on here: first, someone was trying to dig up dirt on Paula Jones and, second, someone then got that information to the right folks at the IRS and an audit was initiated. How convenient that it was right in the middle of litigation by Jones against the President. In fact, Jones received notice of the audit several days after she refused a settlement offer from Clinton. But how would the sitting President know what was going on inside the IRS? Maybe he had a friend there. The IRS Commissioner at the time is still in the Clinton circle. Margaret Richardson, now sits on the Board of Directors of the front company headed by Hillary's conniving brother, Tony Rodham, Gulf Coast Funds Management, LLC, which tries to get visas for wealthy Chinese after they “invest” in their firm. And, no surprise, Gulf Coast was alleged to have tried to use political power to get the visas. (See more about this in
Chapter 1, Section on Nepotism
.)

So look for more of the same. The only thing that will be different in
this
Clinton White House is that all of Hillary's notorious personality traits and appalling instincts—the very ones we've seen on display all too often as First Lady, senator, and secretary of state—will intensify as she is emboldened by the unfathomable hubris that will animate her as soon as she assumes her status as president of the United States and leader of the free world: arguably, the most powerful and important person in the world. Nothing will stop her.

And she will definitely feel that power in every bone of her body and exercise it effortlessly and ruthlessly. Her audacity will know no
boundaries. Watch. Because once Hillary is safely ensconced on her Oval Office throne—the one that she believes she was destined to occupy—all bets are off. The real Hillary will suddenly reemerge. And that is not a pretty picture.

But it gets even worse. Combine her unmistakable character flaws with her zealous commitment to four more years of Obama's unconstitutional, overreaching, anti-American, prointernational, socialist policies that will annihilate the core of America, and you get a feel for exactly what a Hillary administration would be like. It would be one we might never recover from.

Hillary's first act would be to throw open our borders and change America's demographics so drastically that we become a welfare-dependent third-world country, and she would be guaranteed a second term with the help of the new citizens. The federal tax balance would tip even further, permanently decreasing the number of people paying income taxes while permanently increasing the number of people dependent on government entitlements—the tax eaters. It's inevitable. If elected, Hillary Clinton will sink us further into the same death spiral of soaring taxes and expanding welfare that has doomed welfare states from Greece to Detroit. And President Hillary would flex her muscles to show the world just how tough she is, and start a war to prove it.

The prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency is bad enough. But to confront it after eight years of steady erosion of our freedoms, economic liberty, incomes, national prestige, rule of law, and fiscal integrity, would be cataclysmic. We can't let it happen. That's why the 2016 presidential election is truly America's Armageddon—the ultimate and decisive battle between us and those who have no regard for our Constitution and who are determined to deform our system of checks and balances. These are the same forces that want to institutionalize the excesses of the Obama administration and grant him the equivalent of a third term. But we've had enough of him in his two destructive terms, haven't we?

Here's the problem: He won't really go away if Hillary is elected because his harebrained policies will happily live on in Hillary's priorities. In a few short months, Hillary Clinton could be sitting in the Oval Office following the Obama playbook he will carefully leave behind for her. That's one big reason why the thought of a Hillary presidency is a frightening one—so frightening, in fact, that it becomes nothing less than a virtual call to arms, a summons to join the ultimate crusade to save America and stop Hillary Clinton.

This is a contest with one overarching goal: to defeat Hillary Clinton and send her back to Chappaqua on a one-way train, once and for all. We can do it. We have to act. We have a candidate who can win and who can expose her for what she is. This battle is truly our last chance to save the America we love.

The battle lines are clearly drawn. On the one side are those who want to see America flourish as a free market economy that minimizes government intrusion in our lives and our economy. On the other side, the Hillary side, are the forces that embrace Obama's ideal of a huge, expensive federal government that becomes more and more involved in every aspect of our private lives and our businesses and intrusively regulates everything from what we say to what we eat to how we make a living and run our businesses. The ultimate nanny state with Nanny Hillary in charge.

The stakes couldn't be higher; the choices couldn't be more stark. Those of us who value our liberty and our history understand that Hillary Clinton must be stopped from using the Oval Office and the power of the presidency to systematically destroy the very essence of our culture, our values, and our way of life. Because that's what she intends to do.

Make no mistake about it: if Hillary Clinton is elected president, she will embrace and advance the Obama worldview, which means the end of the America we know and love, the end of our sovereign democracy, and the transformation of our political system to a European modal of social welfare. Look at Europe to see how Obama's
social model of welfare dependency doesn't work. Look at Greece. Look at Detroit. That's where Hillary is headed.

A Hillary presidency would be a triumphant and audacious expansion of Obama's destructive economic and social programs, his failed foreign policies, his unconstitutional power grabs, and his divisive leadership. That's what we have to look forward to. And it would be an expansion from which we might never recover. Once our borders are open and our demographics are changed, there's no going back. A vote for Hillary Clinton will be a vote for more of Obama and a vote for a very different America—an ultimately unrecognizable America. An America we don't want, can't afford, and must defeat. We can do that. We still have a chance to defeat Hillary, to close the door on Obama. But time is running out.
