What the heck was Donald Trump thinking when he did this?!?!?!

Oh my goodness…. 🙄

The headlines speak for themselves:

You see, this stuff right here, is basically why I backed away from formally endorsing Trump. I think at this point, it is safe to assume Trump, at some point, is going to flame out. As for James Edwards, he is unapologetic.

How stupid. 🙄 As I said in my video; I will be voting for him in the primary. But, this was incredibly dumb.

 

 

Kudos to Paul Ryan

My comments on House Speaker Paul Ryan condemnation of Donald Trump’s reluctance to disavow support from extremist groups. But first, the video and story.

The Video:

The Story via Politico:

Speaker Paul Ryan offered a rebuke of Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying that any candidate hoping to be the GOP’s presidential nominee needs to “reject” bigotry.

The comments came after Trump failed to disavow the Ku Klux Klan and an endorsement by former KKK leader David Duke during a CNN interview this week. After answering a question on CNN about the white supremacist by saying he doesn’t “know anything about David Duke, OK?,” Trump later blamed a faulty earpiece for his remark.

The flap has created a major firestorm for the GOP as voters in 11 states prepare to cast primary ballots in Super Tuesday races.

Ryan, who didn’t mention Trump by name, told reporters that “no evasions and no games” could be used by anyone seeking the Republican nomination when it comes to hateful comments and racism.

“If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican Party, there can be no evasions and no games. They must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry. This party does not prey on people’s prejudices,” the former vice presidential candidate said.

He added, “We appeal to their highest ideals. This is the party of Lincoln. We believe that all people are created equal in the eyes of God and the government. This is fundamental.”

The remarks of the Republican Speaker of the House are an example to those wishing to enter Republican politics and everyone, Republican and Democrat alike should follow it. I only wish that there were others in the in the Republican Party who felt the same way.

Paul Ryan is correct in his assessment. The Republican Party is the party of Lincoln. The Republican Party was the party that debated Stephen A. Douglas, a Democrat, over the issue of slavery. Unfortunately, since that time, many things have happened: The New Deal, The Great Society, and The Civil Rights Act — all of which begat, The Southern Strategy.

These political policies and outright exploitation of these issues, have led to the pitting of classes and races of people against each other. Both of the political parties are guilty, they have done it and now; we have a Presidential candidate that finds himself being attacked, by the same people who created this entire culture and they want him to give obeisance.

The political chess game has started; I just hope that Trump has a better game than the accusers do.

More interesting reading about the neocon panic over @RealDonaldTrump

I wrote previously about the neocon, Trotskyite panic that is happening in the Republican Party.

Here is more about it, check out: Why Trump Is Panicking Robert Kagan | The National Interest

Needless to say, from now to the election in November is going to be very interesting. Not to mention from now till the end of the primaries.

 

 

The Neocon Trotskyist Attacks Start on Donald Trump

Just as I predicted last night, the neoconservative Trotskyist attacks have begun. They are of course, lead by a one William Kristol; who is the son of one of the men, who pressured George W. Bush to invade and occupy Iraq — Irving Kristol. These two are of the “Ethnicity that shall never be named“, of course. So, it is natural that they would be adverse to any sort of American Nationalism.

Kristol mocking a Christian pastor by the name of Pat Robertson writes:

‘You inspire us all.” With that fulsome greeting, Pat Robertson welcomed Donald Trump this week to the stage of Regent University. According to the school’s catalogue, the university’s name invokes the fact that “a regent is one who represents Christ, our Sovereign, in whatever sphere of life he or she may be called to serve Him.” We leave it to others to decide what sovereign Donald Trump has served in his life. We will simply note that Trump seems not merely an all-too-human example of one who has on occasion fallen into the grip of some of the seven deadly sins. He seems rather a veritable apostle of most of them. A proud defender of greed, an unabashed indulger in adultery, a wanton mocker of the meek (the “losers”) of this world, Donald Trump does not inspire us.

The Trotskyite goes to say that Donald Trump does not fit his Globalist, Wilsonian Agenda:

Fine sentiments. But here’s the reality: If we nominate Donald Trump, we’re choosing the nominee who is the least likely to defeat the Democratic candidate. If we were to elect him, we’d be placing our trust in a chief executive who’s shown zero interest during his long career in shaking up Washington. And if we swear him in, we’ll have a commander in chief who is seemingly more enamored of our enemies (Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad) than of a recent president of the United States, whom he accuses (falsely) of knowingly lying the country into war.

Oh man, we can hear Trump enablers say: You just don’t get it! You’re out of touch. Your points might once have been relevant. But we’ve moved on from the politics of the past. Trump is different. He’s broken all the old rules. We live in a new world. You’re making analog arguments in a digital age. You’re obsessing about evidence in an age of appearance. You’re worrying about character in a time of celebrity. Your concerns are anachronistic, your opposition futile. “You better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone / For the times they are a-changin’.”

So they say. But here’s our response: The times may be changing, but principles don’t. We choose not to dive into the infinity pool of Donald Trump’s Republican party. The water in the pool might seem refreshing, even cleansing, at first. But in truth, Trump’s waters are cold, shallow, and not fit to swim in. Rather than join the crowd and go with the flow, we choose to make our stand on dry land, with flags flying and guns blazing.

But let’s not jump the gun. So far, after the first four contests and before Super Tuesday on March 1, Donald Trump has won an impressive but not conclusive 32.7 percent of the 1.3 million or so votes cast. (Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have gotten about 20 percent each.) There has been almost no negative advertising from super-PACs and campaigns against Trump. The mainstream media have given Trump an amazingly easy ride. Weak-kneed conservatives, desperate to sidle up to the winner, have made extraordinary excuses for him. And he’s still beatable.

But he won’t be defeated if no one tries to defeat him. Surely it’s worth fighting to save a respectable political party, an admirable political movement, and a great country from a charlatan and a demagogue. There’s nothing inspiring about the appeasement of Donald Trump. It’s the fight to defeat Donald Trump that should now inspire us all.

Yes, Mr. Kristol it is a battle and it is one, that I will wage personally against you and your Trotskyite followers until the day of the general election. You and your late Father, along with Norman and John Podhoretz were one of the biggest reasons that the Republican Party turned into a Wilsonian cesspool that it is today.

You and your globalist friends have always been proponents of free trade — that has utterly decimated the Detroit area and surrounding communities here, where I live. Therefore, it is natural that you and your bankster and elitist friends in high places of power find Trump a threat to your trust funds and piles of money that you have obtained by ill-gotten gains. Ill-gotten gains provided to you, on the backs of 4,425 dead American Soldiers and 32,223 wounded, and counting.

You see, my friends, I was not always a conservative blogger. I was one of the many Americans, out of a job, feeling very frustrated with George W. Bush’s moving of the goal posts in Iraq and extremely ticked off, because of George W. Bush, and Donald Rumsfeld’s handling of the War in Iraq. Therefore in 2006, I started a blog. When I first started out, I made alliances with the Democratic Party left, something that I deeply regret today. As the Democratic Party, was no more interested in stopping that war, than the Neoconservative Republicans were — because it made for a good wedge issue for them.

It was sometime in 2007, when I discovered the writings of a true conservative — Mr. Patrick J. Buchanan and that was my “Ah-Ha!” moment. I knew that somewhere out there, was a true conservative, who agreed with me, on things like Immigration, Trade, the Iraq War, the Bush Administration and many other subjects and issues of importance.

It was from there, that I began to research the true roots of conservatism and as I learned, it was not the values shared by the likes Kristol and Podhoretz. Theirs were values that were trumpeted by the Democratic Party prior to the Vietnam War and the rise the values heralded by the 1960’s counter-culture. This being Wilsonian foreign policy, which was a staple of the Democratic Party until the big switch that took place around that era and onward into the Carter era.

This, my friends, is why I will be voting for Donald Trump in the primary and, God willing, in the general election — not because he is a perfect Republican, whatever that means anymore. I will vote for Donald Trump, because Donald Trump will stand up against these monsters in the ivory towers and inform them that America and its people are taking back control of their government from them and are going to fix the mess that they created. This mess was not just created by President Obama, this mess goes back to end of the Kennedy era and the creation of the “great society” championed by President Johnson. Little by little, brick by brick — these monsters destroyed our Nation —- Republicans and Democrats alike, did destroy the Nation — All in the name bipartisanship and for the so-called “greater good” of the nation.

Therefore, yes, I will vote for Donald Trump and I will write against any of those who engage in slanderous attacks against Donald Trump, for whatever reason — whether it is ethnic, political, or personal. I will defend him from those sorts of attacks. I am not a fanboy or paid propagandist and I do not wear rose-colored classes, when it comes to Trump. I am not bought by Trump; my political opinion is not for sale, at all. When Trump screws up and believe me, Trump has really blown it in some areas; I will write about it and express my displeasure with it.

However, when it comes to important issues that all Americans should be concerned about; Trade, Immigration, Our Vets, and all the rest of the issues that the Trump campaign is championing, consider me on the team that will defend America. I will defend America with every fiber of my being and with every bit of bandwidth of this blog, from now, until the end of the primary season and of God’s grace allows, until the general election.

With that, I am voting for Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America.

WND: ‘KKK’ Trump supporters were black

This is asinine:

Donald Trump’s critics tried to pass off fake Ku Klux Klan members as his supporters on social media Tuesday night. A closer look at the images reveal the so-called white supremacists were black.Almost 50 percent of Nevada caucus-goers gave the Republican hopeful an easy victory on Tuesday night, but not before a bizarre attempt at character assassination by black citizens in KKK garb. Not all of the photos shared on social media showed the color of their skin, which was taken advantage of by Trump’s detractors. – Source: Desperate hoax: ‘KKK’ Trump supporters were black – WND.COM

The proof:

I say that it is asinine for one reason: You know, it is bad enough we have idiots like this guy here, heaping praise on Trump and then have this — two asshole back guys masquerading as Klansman.

As for the idiot who brought this up to the media, who did not correct the story? He remains unapologetic:

Further to my post from yesterday about people observed donning KKK regalia at a caucus site, I offer these…

Posted by Aaron D. Ford on Wednesday, February 24, 2016

Translation? “Yeah, I lied about the Klan story and I also paid these people to do it. But, I am not going to apologize, because white people are evil racists.” What an a$$hole! 😡

Why David Duke’s praise could be bad for Donald Trump

This could be bad for Donald Trump. Donald Trump has somehow or another earned the praise by one of the most controversial figures in society. This guy here, the story via BuzzFeed: (H/T to Memeorandum)

The Audio:

The Story:

David Duke, a white nationalist and former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, is urging the listeners of his radio program to volunteer and vote for Donald Trump.

“Voting for these people, voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage,” Duke said on the David Duke Radio Program Wednesday, referring to Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. “I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump, in fact I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action. I hope he does everything we hope he will do.”

Duke then urged his followers to call Trump’s campaign headquarters to volunteer.

“And I am telling you that it is your job now to get active. Get off your duff. Get off your rear end that’s getting fatter and fatter for many of you everyday on your chairs. When this show’s over, go out, call the Republican Party, but call Donald Trump’s headquarters, volunteer. They’re screaming for volunteers. Go in there, you’re gonna meet people who are going to have the same kind of mindset that you have.”

Earlier in his broadcast, Duke called Trump’s victories in Nevada and South Carolina a “historic day.”

The American Spectator, who doesn’t seem to be a big fan of Trump says thus:

I would be shocked if Wolf Blitzer doesn’t bring this up in the debate and if he doesn’t then one of his opponents must.

If Trump disavows Duke unequivocally then he’s OK (unless he calls Duke a great guy a few days later). But if Trump dodges the question or hesitates then there’s an opening. The question is which Republican rival will take it.

But given that Trump has gotten away with accusing former President Bush of lying about WMDs and blaming him for 9/11, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility Trump could get away with having Duke’s support in the GOP primaries. So let’s assume Teflon Don survives the praise of David Duke and wins the Republican nomination. You can bet Hillary Clinton will be broadcasting David Duke’s voice to every African-American, Latino and other minority voter in the country from now until election day.

As much as I hate to admit it, that is painfully correct. If Trump does not say something that would disavow Duke’s praise; he could very well lose the general election. Because if there is one thing that the Democrats do well, and that is race issues. Where the Republicans and Conservatives, with the notable exception being the neoconservatives; are more tolerant of people like Duke — the Democrats are not at all. Which is quite ironic, considering the Democrats were the ones who tried to keep blacks from voting, many years ago.

However still, Donald Trump needs to take a firm stand on this and if he wants to be elected, publicly and forcefully reject any sort of endorsement, whether implied or direct, for any sort of group that is commonly associated with bigotry and hatred of any sort at all. If Mr. Trump wants to win the election, this is what he must do and I mean quickly.

Trump vies for the Evangelical Vote at Regent University

I think this *might* help him, Maybe.

The Video:

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.– Fresh off his Nevada caucus victory, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump set his sights on Super Tuesday, campaigning in Virginia Beach.Trump spoke before a packed theater at Regent University as part of the university’s Executive Leadership Presidential Candidate Forums series.”We owe $19 trillion — most people don’t even know what a trillion dollars is, how many hundreds of millions is in a trillion,” Trump said. “It’s such a number that, it’s a name that 10 years ago you never even heard the word trillion, but we owe $19 trillion.” – Source: Trump Courts Evangelical Vote at Regent University | CBN.com (beta)

I say maybe, because Evangelicals are a finicky group of people. I see them swinging towards Ted Cruz. But, so far, Cruz has only won one primary/caucus. So, it is anyone’s guess.

Here’s the entire event:

 

BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP WINS SOUTH CAROLINA!

This stuff is breaking quicker than I can shot videos and publish on the blog! Needless to say, my previous prediction on Trump’s winning was a bit off.

First my video:

https://youtu.be/1kU578BysV4?rel=0

and Fox News video:

Here’s The Don’s victory speech:

The Story via Fox News:

Donald Trump swept to victory in the South Carolina Republican primary on Saturday, putting him in a commanding position as the race shifts to a slew of delegate-rich contests.

Jeb Bush, though, abruptly suspended his campaign after a distant finish, leaving unclear to whom his supporters will gravitate.

But Trump, at his victory rally, seemed to dismiss the notion that other candidates would benefit from Bush’s exit.

“[The pundits] don’t understand that as people drop out, I’m going to get a lot of those votes,” Trump said.

He said the primary race lately has been “mean” and “vicious” but: “When you win, it’s beautiful.”

He closed by saying, “Let’s put this thing away, and let’s make America great again.”

Trump’s victory is not by the big double-digit margin that pre-election polls had suggested. Still, this makes back-to-back victories for Trump, who more than doubled the vote of his closest competitor in New Hampshire last week.

Pope smacks Trump, Trump Smacks Back

I have to admit, Trump’s comeback was nothing like I would have said!

The story via NYT:

Video:

The Story:

ABOARD THE PAPAL AIRLINER — Inserting himself into the Republican presidential race, Pope Francis on Wednesday suggested that Donald J. Trump “is not Christian” because of the harshness of his campaign promises to deport more immigrants and force Mexico to pay for a wall along the border.

“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” Francis said when a reporter asked him about Mr. Trump on the papal airliner as he returned to Rome after his six-day visit to Mexico.

The pope’s remarks came during a wide-ranging, midair news conference in which he also waded into the question of whether the Roman Catholic Church should grant an exception to its prohibitions on abortion and birth control in regions where the Zika virus is causing a public health emergency, including in much of Catholic-dominated Latin America.

Of course, Donald Trump was having none of this and of course, he replied. This is from Trump’s official campaign website:

If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President because this would not have happened. ISIS would have been eradicated unlike what is happening now with our all talk, no action politicians.

The Mexican government and its leadership has made many disparaging remarks about me to the Pope, because they want to continue to rip off the United States, both on trade and at the border, and they understand I am totally wise to them. The Pope only heard one side of the story – he didn’t see the crime, the drug trafficking and the negative economic impact the current policies have on the United States. He doesn’t see how Mexican leadership is outsmarting President Obama and our leadership in every aspect of negotiation.

For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful. I am proud to be a Christian and as President I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened, unlike what is happening now, with our current President. No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith. They are using the Pope as a pawn and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so, especially when so many lives are involved and when illegal immigration is so rampant.

A very classy and political response, and not nearly half of what I would have said to the so-called “Pope”! Because, you see, I would have brought up in the inquisitions; which resulted in the murdering of many of my Baptist forefathers.
