If Hillary is really suffering from a hydrocephalus resulting from a subarachnoid hemorrhage she has a very serious disease. She is very sick and should be operated at once and a shunt has to be put in the brain with a micro-valve and a cannula until to the stomach for the drainage. After the operation she can be again normal as before. Without operation the patient is doomed to a terrible life and she will turn into a wreck of her former self. Something unimaginable. Sharon Stone suffered from the same disease two years ago. She was operated and she is now more beautiful ans smarter than before. Hillary's relatives (Bill and daughter) cannot be so irresponsible to do nothing. I wonder what they are waiting for.

At the following Web link

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/hillary-clinton-health-trump-228008

is a report about a health incident that occurred today (September 11). Specifically, Hillary Clinton nearly fainted during her attendance at a ceremony for remembering the Americans who died in the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. A video of the incident shows her leaving the ceremony and limping into a van. Secret-Service agents helped her to enter the van.

Today, She received more help (from the Secret Service, doctors, etc.) than she offered to Christopher Stevens. Stevens was the ambassador to Libya. Her callous indifference to "unimportant people" like him resulted in his death.

Read a recent blog at http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2016/06/bitter-end , written by "The Economist" and presenting the facts surrounding Benghazi. Then, ask yourself, "If Chelsea Clinton (who is the daughter of Hillary Clinton) instead of Christopher Stevens had been the ambassador to Libya, would Hillary Clinton have acted differently and would she have run the Department of State differently in order to ensure that the ambassador is safe from harm?"

The answer is "Yes".

Hillary has pneumonia, a serious infectious disease. The treatment involves extensive rest, anti-biotic medications and respiratory therapy. Should we postpone the election campaign until she feels well enough to continue? Or maybe she should just drop out.

A. Andros in reply to Sempervirens

I have had pneumonia several times and in each instance an antibiotic knocked it out of my system. If pneumonia is, indeed, what afflicts Mrs. Clinton at present then I would not be concerned. But:

1. I think we need more than a statement from her MD. An independent examination would be more convincing.

2. Why did Mrs. Clinton conceal her illness? This would just seem to validate accusations that she is duplicitous.

Her disease is easy to treat. Her reputation might be a bit more dicey to restore to heath.

Sempervirens in reply to A. Andros

Congratulations on your recovery. Our fount of wisdom is safe for now.

Now, after you recovered from pneumonia, did you feel energetic enough to conduct a full blown political campaign 7 days a week? Would you feel like taking on the most stressful position on earth for four years straight?

Spoiler (I'd probably vote for you anyway) Cheers!

A. Andros

One does not have to be an Olympic level marathoner to be the POTUS. FDR was crippled and suffered from heart failure but was our greatest president. George W. Bush was in excellent health and, also, our worst president ever.

Regardless, Hillary's health is now a legitimate issue.

Chris Cillizza's column last weekend in the WAPO dismissed comments ab out her heath as simply insidious suggestions out of a right-wing conspiracy. His column this morning after Mrs. Clinton's episode of whatever-the-hell-it-was in NYC this morning, is a banquet of crows.

A "conspiracy," a favorite word on the Left, can't gain much traction when the truth says otherwise. And, in the instance of Hillary's health, "Truth" seems to have been duct-taped across the mouth.

Her concussion . . . subsequent blood-clot . . . mispronounced words . . . disturbing videos . . . and today's physical collapse at the 9/11 ceremonies make the conspiracy accusation less creditable.

I am older than Mrs. Clinton and am still, I hope, in possession of all my marbles. But, I am increasingly shaky on my pins. As an oldster, I can easily believe that Mrs. Clinton actually was overcome by heat or had too much medication in her. The sad fact is that right around age seventy, the rivets begin to pop. One is nowhere as physically capable as before. But . . . that does not mean one is incompetent to be president.

The damage in Mrs. Clinton's case is not that she is senescent or otherwise incompetent but that she gives off occasional symptoms of someone who is hiding something.

Earlier in this campaign, when her behavior first created health questions in the minds of many people, her staff explained away her wobbliness by citing her dependence on antihistomins during hay fever season. Anyone who has to rely on that medication may well tell you that, yes, it can make you light-headed.

Still, while a temporary disorientation from the use of medications is anything but rare (I have medications that temporarily mess me up), her staff's account has not been verified. Democratic shills like the NYT have proffered this excuse (as in today's NYT) without an once of independent evidence -- thus modern journalism.

Mrs. Clinton might make a perfectly fine president (personally, I'd prefer a mildly handicapped Hillary to a Tarzan-like Donald Trump.) But, if the cat was in the bag, it is sure as hell out of it now! She will simply have to come clean.

And, it may be that she will. A release of medical records combined with an independent examination (e.g. the Mayo Clinic) can only confirm or deny three possible explanations:

1. Mrs. Clinton enjoys sufficiently robust health as to physically up to being president.

2. Mrs. Clinton's health problems are sufficiently serious to create legitimate doubt about her fitness to be chief executive.

3. Mrs. Clinton has some middling health issues and has lied about these but is physically able to sit in the Oval Office.

Two of the three above alternatives reflect ill on Hillary's presidency. That is her fault.

To younger readers. old age does not make one stupid. If anything, it means experience and freedom from self-deception. But, be assured, old age takes an inevitable toll -- in energy, in feeling of well-being and, of course, in increased likelihood of imminent death.

Jack Kennedy lied like hell about his health and his dependence on controlled substances (but, legally obtained via his Dr. Feelgood, a long-dead woman doctor.) He was incapacitated -- but not sufficiently so as to unable to cope with is position.

If Hillary has the usual aches and pains of old age then not only does she have my sympathy, she still has my vote As president, she is not going to have to run the 880.

But, the politics of the situation are now plain rotten for her. To stay competitive with Trump she must now be open with the electorate about her health.

And, "journalists" like the above-mentioned columnist ought to stop covering for her.

Could a President suffering from dementia rule a country? I don't think so. Hillary must be operated as soon as possible because she is in a state of advanced subarachnoid hemorrhage. The next step is the Dementia. Coming soon. Her husband is an irresponsable guy. He should intervene and have her recovered.

A. Andros in reply to longman333

How on earth, absent an independent medical examination of Mrs. Clinton, can anyone -- even an MD-- proffer a competent diagnosis?

We have a few seconds of suggestive videotape that can legitimately create a bit of worry about her health. That is about all.

It may well be that a clinical examination in an institution like the Mayo Clinic will put "paid" to rampant speculation about her healthy.

If she refuses such a thing then she is fair game for every quack with access to the Internet.

I hope she will, via such an examination, put all speculation to rest.

Eusebius Pamphili in reply to A. Andros

"I hope she will, via such an examination, put all speculation to rest."

~We're currently enjoying a period of history where conspiracy theory enjoys a place of scientific fact and laws of physics have taken the place of 3rd person hearsay, "Gravity need no longer apply".

Hoping to put speculation to rest is like wishing on a star to inherit Bill Gates fortune and be the Queen of England. God save the queen!

I've been a bad boy,TE has taken down 3 of my remarks,including"cute","especially me"& calling Hitlery a "devil woman"
What could be wrong with any of these things?

CHBlackman

Just we were expecting an October surprise now this.

Yesterday she called 1/4 of US electorate as "deplorable", just like "please elect me"- Mitt.

Today she just passed out, leaving her shoe on the curbside, she has serious health issues..

She blew it big time. It will be a miracle if she is still standing by Nov, 8th.

Sempervirens

She's going to need the help of the almighty if she's even going to make it to election day. She passed out before noon today at the 9/11 ceremony and had to be carried into a van.

This candidate clearly does not have the physical stamina for the rigorous position of POTUS. She has hypo-thyroidism, which is characterized by low energy. Do we want a president who does not have the energy to make it past noon without faiting?

Read up on the effects of hypo-thyroidism before you automatic ally vote for this non-trump candidate.

Our countries future depends on it.

The American Taliban absolutely demands that *any* presidential candidate pledge allegiance to the Christian God...
:
Despite the fact that
1 - The concept of religion is utterly ridiculous
&
2 - Our country (theoretically) has a clear separation between church and state

Joe Marlowe in reply to guest-ajalease

You are simple wrong. The US Constitution very clearly establishes "freedom from religion", under (a) the establishment clause; (b) under freedom of religion itself (which has no meaning if it does not include the right to have no religion at all); and under freedom of association.

Historically, "Freedom from religion" was far more important to the founders than "freedom of religion".

The United States could not have been formed without a right to freedom from religion.

The nicest thing we can say about Hillary is that she is unbearable, insufferable, deplorable, ignoble and disgraceful. She is one of the most sinister figures that have ever flitted bat-like across the vision of the American people.

MrR.Fox

Trump - "Make America Great Again"
.
Clinton - "Make America Mexican Again"
.
Clinton - "Half of Trump supporters are a 'Basket of Deplorables'"

Trump - "Half of Clinton supporters are a 'Basket of Deportables'"

See, public figures like Fred Star at U.S. Centcom in 2010-11 timeframe came up with Silk Road Initiative. State Dept. bought it up to compete w/ China, while everyone knew China, via SCO, was rebuilding the ancient silk road as part of its plan to create interconnectedness from Western Asia to the Far East. Seem the U.S. version still remains in design phase the State Dept.

Evil Overlord

I continue to be angry that the Democratic party put us in this place to begin with. If they had allowed a truly open primary, rather than ceding the top spot to Clinton because it's 'her turn', the election would have been over months ago, and Trump would a funny memory, rather than an unpredictable threat to world peace.

Joe Marlowe

Dear Hillary:

How could you?

I can forgive your e-mails, I can even forgive your lies.

But pandering to the religious right?

Disgusting.

How could you?

A. Andros

Some comments on Hillary astound me. Her public persona is that of a very cold fish.

So, sue her.

She is not an evil woman, she is not a harlot, she is not the whore of Babylon. She is a politician who is well past her "best by" date and is on the oily side.

Most politicians are!

She may or may not be a Christian. Well, being one is NOT a qualification for becoming president. And, regardless, the Lord knows His own -- and He isn't talking.

Turn down the volume, everyone. I detest modern liberalism but that is a contest of ideas. Nothing personal.

Sheeesh!

guest-ajalease in reply to A. Andros

Sheeesh?

The future of our nation is at risk if Hillary wins. It is time for everyone to get serious and give her a hard look. She is dangerous and will probably incite WWIII. In many ways this anarchist is evil incarnate.

So, turn up the volume and let it fly. I detest modern liberalism and want it pushed out of power. It is very personal, very personal, indeed, when they start taking away our rights, starting with the First and Second Amendments.

Can you imagine telling our founding fathers to turn down the volume, right before the American Revolution?

Joe Marlowe in reply to guest-ajalease

"In many ways this anarchist is evil incarnate."

Gosh, no overwrought hyperbole there at al.

Hillary Clinton is a very ordinary politician.

The future of America is at risk in every election, no matter who is elected.

But if you are going to begin to suggest that Hillary Clinton is remotely close to the risk posed by Donald Trump ...

What planet are you living on?

Why do you think the stock market took a big fall on Friday? Every time it looks like Trump might win, the markets drop.

Donald Trump is manifestly not a suitable candidate for public office, under any circumstances.

Hillary Clinton is not a great choice for President, and remains a poor candidate. She is, however, fully qualified for the job - indeed, considerably better qualified than a fair number of previous Presidents.

Effectively she is the only possible candidate left in the race.

At least she won't be burdened with high expectations.

ShrNfr in reply to guest-ajalease

The Jefferson vs. Adams race was notable for its acrimony. Further, it was a contributing factor to the death of Hamilton. Burr never forgave him for leading the effort to install Jefferson as president and Burr as vice president. Due to the electoral college rules at the time, they both received an equal number of electors. They had been on a ticket together and so received equal votes. Things were a bit different back then.

guest-ajalease in reply to Joe Marlowe

The stock market took a hit because the progressive, globalist Federal Reserve threatened to increase the interest rates. Nice try.

Hillary may be an ordinary, average political imbecile, but what makes her extraordinary is the cadre of elite who pull her strings. These people are evil and will destroy our nation. They clearly want to take the west down so they can install their Fascist socialist empire. Just ask George Soros and other dictators who fund Hillary's efforts and their foundation.

Donald Trump is the only candidate who has been willing to take on the globalist issues: "free" trade, out of control illegal and legal immigration, exporting jobs, etc.

Notably, Hillary is NOT qualified for the job. Just spending time in a position does not mean that you have gained any experience. Hillary spent time, she did not fully engage so as to use her time well. She is a bumbling fool who risked very sensitive national security secrets.

This is why I believe that Liberalism is a mental disorder. But, don't just listen to me, listen to Dr. Lyle Rossiter, a noted psychiatrist and author of the new book, “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.”

“Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded,”

“Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”

This supports what I have been saying for years that liberals are like humans, except they lack reason and accountability.

Do a PCL-R on Hillary. Hare's test is somewhat focused on the prison population, but here is a stand-in for his "Snakes In Suits" psychopaths from the book of the same name. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/fulfillment-any-age/201509/20-signs...

From what we know of her from the writings of the Secret Service Folks way prior to her announcement for president plus the contemporaneous accounts during Slick Willy's presidency, she comes in a solid "be afraid, be very afraid" psychopath. Nixon was paranoid, Obama is a narcissist, Trump probably is likewise. Not my favorite idea of a president, but not fatal to the country. A psychopath is an entirely different matter.

guest-ajalease in reply to ShrNfr

Acrimony, what a wonderful word, indeed. I love that word. Good job.

Acrimony: Bitter, sharp animosity, especially as exhibited in speech or behavior. Yes, it almost brings tears to my eyes just languishing in its sound. And meaning! Yes, yes, yes, I have those feelings of bitter sharp animosity, particularly for Hillary.

I do believe that I come by this feeling legitimately though. After her risking the lives of our foreign agents by exposing them in her emails - acrimony. After looking at the list of dead people who have surrounded her life - acrimony. After watching her flip political positions to influence voters - acrimony. After watching her lie, without remorse to veterans, widows, mothers, citizens - acrimony.

Yes, indeed, it is a great word that captures my many feelings about her.

Anna Nelson, spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, declined to comment on individuals, but told FoxNews.com that the ICRC visits the detainees on regular basis – four routine visits annually, each lasting two to three weeks, plus ad-hoc visits as necessary.

“During the visits, we are able to meet with the detainees on an individual basis and in-private. Each individual is free to agree or decline to meet with us,” Nelson said. “We facilitate contact between the detainees and their relatives through written messages as well as phone calls and Skype-like video calls. Communications between the detainees and their relatives are monitored and censored by authorities. Our role is strictly to facilitate the contact.”

And while the Gitmo detention facility has repeatedly come under the scrutiny of defense lawyers, human rights groups and much of the mainstream media, retired Army Colonel Gordon Cucullu argues that the likes of Mohammed and Shibh – who are held at the ever secretive Camp 7 – are treated not only humanely but with an almost groveling “understanding of their culture.”

“’Infidel’ Americans were not allowed to touch the Koran, for example. By giving in to this we simply validated the concept that we are lesser people and not good enough to meet their standards,” he told FoxNews.com. “We went to extremes to furnish them halal food. Detainee meals were prepared with far more expensive and nutritious ingredients than the food provided to the Americans stationed at Gitmo and their meals varied more than the U.S menus.”

Cucullu also observed that at the outset, there were probably detainees transported there who didn’t need to be there and were sufficiently weeded out – but those remaining like Mohammed and Shibh – are all hardcore, committed terrorists.

“They will not change,” he said.

Also known as the “20th Hijacker,” French-born Zacarias Moussaoui, 48, is the only 9/11 suspected terrorist to have been tried in the United States. He took flying lessons at the same Oklahoma school hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi attended, but his odd behavior prompted his flight instructor to notify the FBI. Moussaoui was arrested a month before the 9/11 attacks for an immigration violation, and months later, a slew of other charges including conspiracy to commit terrorism and to use weapons of mass destructions were added.

Having pled guilty, Moussaoui is currently serving six life sentences without parole at the Federal ADX Supermax Prison in Florence, Colo. The facility is home to the male inmates characterized as the most dangerous and in need of the tightest security. Moussaoui, along with other high-risk inmates, is said to be locked in his cell for 23 hours a day – one hour spared for recreational activity in an outdoor enclosure while flanked by armed guards and donning handcuffs, stomach chains and leg irons.

Sempervirens in reply to A. Andros

Hyperbole is part of the political process, like it or not. But the facts about Hill's physical weakness can no longer be swept under the rug. Today's debacle at the 9/11 ceremony clearly show she is unfit for office.

guest-ajalease in reply to ShrNfr

Interesting comment. I looked up the PCR-R test and found a site where you can take it just for fun.

Of course, only a trained professional can make a final judgement about one's degree of psychopathy, but it is an interesting exercise because of the questions. It is revealing.

Notably, I agree with your assessment. Something is seriously amiss with Hillary. Trump is not my idea of a truly lucid or smooth candidate, but, to me, he clearly falls within the range of normal, particularly for a New Yorker (That's a joke New Yorkers - New Yorkers, as compared with Iowans, tend to be a bit brash, but that's fine with me).

Yes, I think Trump will do just fine. Hillary, I worry about her. She could be very dangerous, indeed.
