Hillary's lies: Today's news for August 25, 2016

While the Leftist Media covers for Hillary Clinton, the Right Media has no trouble disproving her lies as fast as they leave her mouth. Case in point:

CNN:

Clinton on foundation attacks: 'I know there's a lot of smoke, and there's no fire'

Hillary Clinton slammed Donald Trump and issued a strong defense of the Clinton Foundation Wednesday amid the Republican nominee's claims that she used public office for personal gain.

Speaking to CNN's Anderson Cooper in her first national news interview in nearly a month, Clinton pushed back against Trump's accusations and issued perhaps her most succinct answers on her use of a private email server during her time leading the State Department.

"What Trump has said is ridiculous," Clinton said. "My work as secretary of state was not influenced by any outside forces. I made policy decisions based on what I thought was right."

She added: "I know there's a lot of smoke, and there's no fire."

Trump has recently upped his attacks on Clinton and her family's namesake foundation, saying that foreign governments and business leaders gave primarily to get something in return.

"It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the State Department begins," Trump said Tuesday night at a rally in Austin, Texas. "The specific crimes committed to carry out that enterprise are too numerous to cover in this speech."

In the first place, it wasn't Trump who made up these allegations. It was the Associated Press. Trump merely echoed them.

The story later goes on to tell the truth, but it is showing far too much bias by burying the lede.

Memo undercuts Hillary story on controversial Russian uranium deal, Clinton foundation

I brought up Hillary's Russian deal before, but here is more evidence that she actually sold out American interests for a Russian donation to the Clinton Foundation:

When Hillary Clinton was questioned about a deal that gave Russia increased sway over uranium markets, the former secretary of state and now Democratic presidential nominee said she had no reason to intervene in the decision and didn't even know her husband's foundation was being enriched by its beneficiaries.

"I was not personally involved because that wasn't something the secretary of state did," Clinton told WMUR a New Hampshire TV station in June 2015, the lone time she has addressed the controversy that first surfaced a year ago.

In fact, there was a reason to be concerned, according to diplomatic dispatches left sitting in public on the WikiLeaks site that have not garnered much media attention.

State Department officials in fall 2009 -a year before the U.S. approved the deal- obtained an internal strategy document from Russia's nuclear energy firm, Rosatom, that provided a warning about Moscow's intentions as it "flexes muscles" in uranium markets.

In one cable sent to Clinton, U.S. officials in Brussels warned Russia was about to strong arm U.S. ally Ukraine into a deal for "long-term supply of nuclear fuel" that could "shut" the U.S. company Westinghouse out of the market and extend Moscow's influence over Europe.

Please read the entire article, because it paints a rather unflattering picture of how Clinton knowingly sold out America to Russia.

How about some good news?

'SECOND EARTH' DISCOVERED Planet orbiting Earth’s ‘closest neighbour’ Proxima Centauri could be home to ALIENS

Astronomers have discovered a “second Earth” orbiting our closest star and it could have exactly the right conditions to sustain alien lifeforms.

Stargazers from the European Southern Observatory spotted the mystery world circling Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf star that’s just four light years away.

The planet is orbiting in the “goldilocks zone” of Proxima Centauri, which means it’s close enough to the  star that water would not freeze but far away enough so that water wouldn’t boil.

This is important because the presence of liquid water is thought to be necessary for the development of life.

Now scientists are trying to figure out a way of getting a robotic probe to the planet to see if it is home to alien organisms, although this is not a mission many of us will live to see.

Using current rocket technology, it would take 76,000 years to get to our nearest star.

However, there is hope that “light sail” technology currently under development could allow us to send a robotic probe to the planet in about 25 years.

Proxima Centauri is about 4.24 light years from Earth. Conceivably, if you could come up with a rocket which could get closer to the speed of light, it might be possible to reach that solar system in about 4.5 years, with a round-trip taking 9 years.

While the planet itself is roughly a third larger than Earth, the star it is orbiting is only slightly larger than Jupiter. This is a rough correlation, but it does have potential. I would guess we are looking at something closer to Mars than Earth, but I would love to be wrong.
