Donald Trump
by Karla Burland
Whatever you may think of Donald Trump, he is here to stay as a Presidential candidate. When he said that Mexico was not sending their best people here, that they were sending criminals and rapists, everyone knew he was talking about illegals. The media made a huge deal about how he was insulting all Mexicans plus the entire country of Mexico. Even our own Rick Perry, commented on what a despicable thing it was for Mr. Trump to say. Mr. Perry obviously did not listen to the speech like some of the rest of us did, and went by what was quoted in the media. I was a strong supporter of Rick Perry, but once he decided it was more important to impress the GOP by agreeing with their rebuff of Trump, he lost my support completely. Donald Trump’s supporters knew what he said, knew what he meant and so it made no difference to them.
In Iowa, Mr. Trump was quoted as saying Senator John McCain was not a hero. “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” Once again this was to be the end of Donald Trump. How dare he?? I myself am a veteran, I respect anyone who decides to join the military, but not everyone is a hero. Was John McCain? Look up all there is to be found out about him and decide for yourself. Once again supporters of Mr. Trump heard what he said and it made no difference to them.
By this time the GOP is beside itself! They have no idea how to get rid of this person who is so immensely popular with people who are tired of hearing nothing by lies and political correctness. So since they can’t just tell him he can’t be in the debate since he was number one in the polls by that time, they have to come up with something. As you all may remember from the Obama/Romney debate in 2012, the moderator was Candy Crowley, CNN news anchor. She was praised and criticized for interjecting that she backed Obama on his claim of what happened in the attack at Benghazi. So I was holding my breath wondering who they would have as a moderator for these Republican candidates. Wow! Three political commentators from Fox News. Not bad…
But, rumor has it that Rupert Murdoch (owner of FOX) wanted to see Mr. Trump lose and be gone once and for all, and set up these three people from FOX to try and make him look bad. Conflicting stories are everywhere. Look it up and see for yourself. However, if anyone actually watched the debates, it was pretty obvious that Trump was NOT treated the same as the other candidates. Especially by Megyn Kelly. I could not understand why she was so outright mean sounding when she addressed him and kept badgering him. I figured they really would get him to lose his temper and he would do himself in, but he conducted himself pretty well, under the circumstances. And… no matter what he said, or what the media reported that he said, the polls all show HE won the debate. By quite a large margin.
Now, we have the whole ‘next day’ typical response by people who were not successful in making him withdraw as a candidate. So they make up something ridiculous that he was supposed to have meant, to make him look like a male chauvinist pig. On CNN on Friday, Trump supposedly said about being attacked by Ms. Kelly and her being so mad, “that blood was shooting out of her eyes and her wherever…..” This was supposed to be a disgusting jab to her female hormones and her monthly cycles. (Say what??) How stupid, when we hear all the time anymore, that someone was so mad “they had blood shooting out of their eyeballs” or “their head exploded”! Good grief…. all the GOP and the so-called Conservative media is doing is proving to all of Trump supporters and the rest of the world, that they are just as stupid, hypocritical, and biased as the Democrat progressives and MSNBC! We who actually watched heard what he said, we know what he meant, and it made no difference in how we feel about him.
What Donald Trump said to Megyn Kelly when she badgered him about being disrespectful to women, about not having time to be politically correct and frankly, he said, neither does the country, made a lot of sense to a lot of people. He knows what is wrong and probably does know how to fix it. He owes nothing to anyone, which scares the pants off of the Republican Party (they can’t control him) and he seems to really care about the United States of America. That in itself is soooo refreshing, after 6 years of having a Commander in Chief who runs around all over the world apologizing for everything we stand for.
Trump vs Murdoch and The Washington Cartel
by Bill Brayshaw
Our Senator Ted Cruz came up with the name “The Washington Cartel”. These are the establishment ‘Politicos’ that stand for Big Govt, Internationalism, UN, The New World Order but mostly for staying in power and the ‘Status Quo’ of constantly expanding Federalism.
Rupert Murdoch is definitely one of them. He was an Australian Media Mogul that expanded to Britain and the USA, making a huge fortune. Fox News is one of his creations and has positioned itself as the primary “Conservative News” source. Rupert Murdoch is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR was co-founded in 1921 with the British (now Royal) Institute for International Affairs, both were elitist, internationalist, and “progressive” dedicated to ‘Big Govt’, free trade, fiat money, and a One World Govt run by their followers. The CFR has about 4,900 members from both “Parties”: bankers, politicians, businessmen, bureaucrats, and educators. They fear and despise Trump now because they can’t control him, he is telling the truth, is gaining popularity, can’t be bought, and really believes in American Exceptionalism. That can not be allowed.
I believe that Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace, and Bret Baier were given their ‘marching orders’ from Murdoch to embarrass and destroy Trump. They were somewhat tough on a few others, but very gentle with Jeb Bush (the RINO’s choice) and Marco Rubio. Trump would not fold or lie on the question of supporting whoever was the GOP Party candidate, and defended himself and his positions well. His disdain for “Political Correctness” is appreciated by most conservatives. So after the debate he was ambushed in an interview and made an unfortunate comment. Megyn was obviously in Full Attack Mode so the “bleeding from her eyes” was appropriate and funny, but he kept babbling – mouth at high RPM but mind disengaged. However, I DO NOT believe that Trump meant his comments to be about her ovulation cycle, he is blunt and straight forward, but never obscene. And contrary to some very misleading reports, it was at a later interview and NOT at the debate.
The Washington Cartel, the RINO GOP Establishment, Political Class of both Parties, and the CFR are out to destroy Trump because he is telling the truth and really wants to rebuild the American Dream of independence and prosperity. He is a huge threat to their ‘Status Quo’. Using the Media to spin anything a person says is Standard Operating Procedure for the Political Attack dogs. Look what they did to Sarah Palin. In the current political atmosphere, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. And not to be tolerated by these self-styled “leaders”. Fox News needs to remember that their popularity with Conservatives and Patriots is based upon trust; if they try to manipulate the ‘news’ like the other MSM, they will quickly lose readers to Breitbart, The Blaze, and the many blogs.
