Since the DNC, one of the hottest topics remains Captain Humayan Khan’s father, Khizr, and his controversial comments about Trump.

Trump is being accused of disrespecting a fallen war hero. In contrast, Khan is getting accused of using his son’s death for a political agenda.

This letter cries out to be read. Please do so.

It’s a very good letter. I hope Khan reads it.

Wow. Pence is a star!

[Chgogal]

Marine Chris Mark is much more civilized than I am. Thank you for posting. His letter is very much worth reading.

BUMP!

Did you roll the video?

Democrat plant by the name of Catherine Byrne (Google, please take note) sprung a 'Rat talking point, to boos from the crowd. Pence's answer is an exercise in poise.

OH I heard about what happened at Pence rally...So if I was to draw the connection between the 2 things, I missed it.

But, if there was a video on this article’s webpage, I did not see it...no video on my webpage of this article...

Was there a video? Sometimes my Firefox omits them if they require Flash.

There is a video, and it doesn't use Flash.

Here is a direct link: http://videos.tout.com/dry/mp4/310c91f4d4e390d2.mp4

For some reason, it just works in Chrome, but needs Flash in Firefox. (I have Flash blocked in Chrome and Firefox.) Mozilla has declined since Brendan Eich's forced departure.

You can resort to the command line, and just play the download with whatever you've got:

The download plays just fine in VLC or QuickTime, no Flash needed.

The odd thing is, if I try to play the direct URL in Firefox, it fails. But if I play the download of the direct URL, it works just fine.

Chalk it up to webmaster incompetence. Probably a wrong Content-Type header.

Bottom line: If you don’t want to do any work, play it in Google Chrome. Else, join the debugging team!

and I would ask that Khan stopping insulting our Constitution by waving a copy of our Constitution around like clock boy waved his phony clock.

Especially if it is true as I suspect that in Kahn's sick mind sharia law is more important to him.

I would have liked to have been a fly o the wall when the son came to the dad to tell him he was joining the military.

I’m sure honor killing crossed the dad’s mind.
