Mark Steyn was on Greta Van Sustern last night and delivered one of the more resoundingly common sense recaps of the entire days’ media and political insanity:
Mark Steyn website here – The last segment where Steyn points out the nonsense from the Obama administration is 100% spot on. Unfortunately, almost every GOP candidate pounced into the furor surrounding Trump’s profoundly reasonable proposition.
Wow – Now we know why the GOPe is in full blown panic mode. The results from the latest WMUR/CNN Poll in New Hampshire (full pdf below) shows support for Ben Carson has fully collapsed, and Ted Cruz drops below John Kasich…. But it gets much, much worse for the establishment candidates.
The GOPe road map has totally collapsed in New Hampshire. All of the GOPe splitters are now left picking leftover scraps from those voters who are in the undecideds:
Trump has forced upon the GOPe the absolute nightmare scenario – “the splitters are splitting upon themselves”. Rubio, Bush and Christie combined cannot beat Donald Trump’s current level of support.
The millions spent by Team Kasich have garnered him a grand total of 7%; and the tens of millions spent by Jeb Bush only get him to 8%. The granite state electorate are fully engaged and they are seeing through the GOPe establishment schemes.
The New Hampshire voters are also seeing through the convenient flip-flops of Cruz and have identified the reality of Carson’s inability. (more…)
Too funny. Every channel, every broadcast, every station, every radio air wave: “Trump said”…. “Trump ban”… “Trump said”… “Trump ban”… wall-to-wall, everywhere, e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e ! ‘Splodey’s, ‘Splodey’s, ‘Splodey’s !
BRILLIANT !!!
Folks – enjoy this, we are watching a masters’ hand play the insufferable media like a gifted prodigy plays a Stradivarius. It is a thing of beauty.
In response to Donald Trump’s lawful, constitutional, and prudent proposal to halt Muslim immigration the media are actually saying:
…”if you aren’t nice to moderate Muslims they’ll stop being moderate and murder you”..
After decades of culturally-dominating politically correct drum-beating that numbs the average psyche (from accepting common sense), it might take a few minutes for the prudent position of Donald Trump to sink-in.
However, once you get beyond the trained instinct of hysteria, and focus on the substantive request, to: “shutdown Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on” – it actually makes a great deal of sense.
Such a position is really not the least bit controversial, and that’s exactly what makes it so brilliant on many levels.
Of course, if you are not willing to accept the concept of Islamic Jihad – and/or if you are unwilling to accept that Islamic Terrorists have been targeting us for the past decade – well, in that instance Trump’s position might seem controversial. However, for the rest of us, it makes a great deal of sense. (more…)
The FBI said earlier Monday it believes both suspects in last week’s attack in San Bernardino, were radicalized before carrying out the mass shooting. “We have learned and believe that both subjects were radicalized and have been for quite some time,” said David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI’s field office in Los Angeles:
In addition, information has surfaced about a significant amount of money being deposited into their bank account:
A $28,500 DEPOSIT was made to Syed Farook’s bank account from WebBank.com on or about Nov.18, some two weeks before he and his wife Tashfeen Malik carried out the San Bernardino massacre, a source close to the investigation tells Fox News.
[…] On or about Nov.20, Fox News is told Farook converted $10,000 to cash, and withdrew the money at a Union Bank branch in San Bernardino. Afterwards, in the days before the shooting, there were at least three transfers of $5,000 that appear to be to Farook’s mother.
The loan and large cash withdrawal were described to Fox News by the source as “significant evidence of pre-meditation,” and further undercut the premise that an argument at the Christmas party on Dec. 2 led to the shooting (read more)
Earlier today Presidential Candidate Donald Trump proposed a “freeze” on Muslim Immigration entry while national security and lawmakers evaluate current terrorist threats. The crowd in South Carolina approves:
Fox News Stephen Hayes calls the massive South Carolina crowd a bunch of “bigots”(more…)
(New York, NY) December 7th, 2015, — Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population.
Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing “25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad” and 51% of those polled, “agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah.” Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won’t convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.

It is being reported that Enrique Marquez purchased the rifles in 2011 and 2012. The relationship is not very well identified. Marquez checked himself into a mental hospital a few hours after the attack. This story gets more weird as each day passes…..
CALIFORNIA – Eyewitness News obtained a photo of San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook’s former neighbor, Enrique Marquez, who allegedly bought two of the four weapons used in Wednesday’s massacre.
Marquez allegedly purchased the two “assault-style” rifles over three years ago. Authorities haven’t been able to talk to him because he checked himself into a mental hospital after the attack, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. (more…)
When someone can encapsulate the insufferable stupidity of a political presentation, and simultaneously eviscerate political parseltongue it deserves to be watched.
Michael Weiss watched President Obama’s oval office speech and then in two and a half minutes thoroughly obliterates it. This is not just deconstructing a position – this is epic obliteration of a opponent’s argument. This is simply must see TV:
Trump is not just taking on the construct of progressive ideology that has undermined the essence of American exceptionalism, he’s taking on the very selfish foundation they’ve used to sell out our country. Hell, he’s taking on all the “Decepticons” simultaneously.
