Sharyl Attkisson’s Full Measure Emotional Support Animals are everywhere...dogs, cats, even pigs?!?! So, what happened when we tried to register a stuffed dog as an official Support Animal?
Thanks very much.
Feel better you are an FR icon.
I wonder how much mileage they’ll get out of this.
So sick of their lies.
Checking it out now and thank you for the recommendation.
There is the Chicago Metropolitan area (6 counties including Cook Country; all of Chicago is inside Cook) and then there is Downstate Illinois (everything else). There is also a rough stretch near St. Louis in the southwest part of Illinois that is much like Chicago. Making the 6-county portion its own state would separate the 2 worlds. And Missouri could keep the bad ST. Louis suburbs.
The new state could be called Lincoln. The only remaining problem with Lincoln would be removing Dick the Turban Durbin. I would contribute to that noble cause.
What they are doing is the equivalent of putting sugar in their own gas tank.
Now Chris is playing gotcha on which Generals.
Trump is going back at Chris and is not going to take his garbage.
Now Trump University is a scam. Now Trump is fighting back and Chris continues to lie and support their dishonest reporting.
Chris has no idea what the movement is about. How stupid can he be?

Looks like its mustard gas and they are still doing it,I wonder if FNC is covering this?

MAKHMOUR, Iraq — Ahmad Rasool, 21, was drinking tea with 20 other Kurdish soldiers when Islamic State mortars began to hit. The Kurds were used to such attacks after battling the militants for more than a year, but this one was different: On impact, clouds of what turned out to be mustard gas filled the air.
“Suddenly, I had to really scratch my back,” Rasool told USA TODAY about the attack in August 2015. “Red spots then started to appear on my skin like boils. ... I saw that some of the other soldiers, their skin and hands were swelling up.”
Rasool’s position was hit by what has been confirmed to be the first chemical weapon attack on Iraqi soil since dictator Saddam Hussein unleashed chemical weapons against Kurds in 1988. Other Kurdish positions around Kirkuk and Gwer also were hit last summer.
Chemical attacks by the extremist group are becoming more frequent in Iraq, causing panic and disarray among soldiers and civilians alike, according to the Kurdish fighters, known as peshmerga.

Wednesday, the U.S. military revealed that it destroyed an Islamic State chemical weapons facility as a result of intelligence from a captured fighter who was a top chemical weapons official under Saddam.
USA TODAY
ISIL captive says group planned to use mustard gas against U.S.allies
Chemical weapons are banned under an international treaty signed in the wake of their lethal use during World War I.
Makhmour has been hit by four chemical attacks — chlorine and mustard gas — since the strike in August, the soldiers said. Mortars made of metal pipes and more sophisticated 122mm Grad rockets carry the potentially deadly chemicals.
“With the chemical attack, it isn’t clear what is going to happen, what the harm will be,” Rasool said. “For me, it is more dangerous than a normal attack.”
Kurdish Cmdr. Mahadi Younis said he believed the weapons were manufactured in nearby Mosul, the Islamic State’s stronghold in Iraq. Although they were crudely made and have caused no known fatalities, Younis said the militants probably will make them more lethal.
“They are experimenting with new tactics and new ways of fighting us,” Younis said. “They use anything they have to survive without even considering the lives of civilians.”
Malik Ellahi, a spokesman for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the international group that monitors illegal use of such weapons, told USA TODAY that the repeated reports of Islamic State attacks are a “serious concern.” Ellahi said the OPCW recently sent a team of experts to work with the Iraqi government to investigate the use of chemical weapons.
Though the group confirmed that mustard gas has been used, it has yet to confirm recent reports that the militants are using chlorine. The alleged chlorine attacks include:
• On Feb. 25, the Islamic State launched 19 rockets on Sinjar, a remote corner of northern Iraq where the militants had attempted to wipe out a community of the Yazidi religious sect. Nearly 200 people were treated for severe vomiting, nausea and headaches, according to local media reports and the Free Burma Rangers, a non-profit group of medics who work in the region.
• On March 2, the Tal Afar district near Sinjar was hit by at least six rockets that emitted a yellow smoke on impact. Three civilians, including two children, were hospitalized with nausea, vomiting and skin irritation, according to the International NGO Safety Organization, a British charity that supports the safety of aid workers. Taza, an Iraqi town near Kirkuk, experienced a similar attack on the same day, sending 40 people to Kirkuk General Hospital with similar conditions, the aid workers safety group said.
• On March 3, 20 rockets were fired at Keske Junction north of Mosul. Marwan Ahmad, 32, who lives in a small hamlet at the junction, described panicked scenes as the rockets rained down on the homes of civilians and the surrounding fields. He said only one rocket exploded, injuring a dozen people, while the other 19 were embedded in the ground.
Ahmad, who was in his house when the attack began, said one landed yards away. “I saw the smoke, and tears started running down my face. My skin was itchy. It started to go red and bubbled up,” he said. Ahmad said he had to be taken to a hospital, and a cousin remains very ill from the attack.
Kurdish Lt. Muhammed Sabri said he fears the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, is turning increasingly to easy-to-conceal chemical weapons as the militants lose ground to Kurdish fighters and Iraqi security forces aided by increased airstrikes conducted by a U.S.-led coalition.
Sabri said it is a sign of the militants’ desperation on the battlefield. “Now we expect them [chemical attacks],” he said. “They have been weakened recently, and this is their response.”
The long term implications is what makes me laugh. If healthcare can be a right for all human beings, how about education, or any other sacred cow item the left wants to name? (Well.... except for speech, guns, religion, or other PC items.)
Jake Tapper leads off with Trump by showing Trump a nasty ad wherein clips of Trump saying “I’d like to punch him” etc. are shown and then goes onto pound Trump about his Rallies with warnings that “something is bound to happen” if you don’t say something to your supporters, tone down your language and calm your supporters.
Trump didn’t give an inch.
Now Bernie is up and he’s mad and resents Trump calling him a Communist ...LOL. Bernie is really going off on Trump! Calling him a liar and very dangerous! WOW! He doesn’t dare say anything similar about Hillary!
Yeah they have had their way far too long,time for a little bit of free will and capitalism Donald style.
Yet somehow their little clown car just keeps right on going.
wow,awesome, how bout a blow by blow,I’m tv-less right now.
Tapper cut off the second part of that ad, where the Breitbart reporters criminal complaint is the subject.
-- Now Bernie is up and he's mad and resents Trump calling him a Communist ... --
He best get used to it.
Just watched a heated interview between Chris Wallace and Donald Trump. What a smirky little weasel Wallace is. Megyn Kelly would be applauding. I think Trump gets treated better on the leftist news channels than Fox. Back to my boycott.
Dr. Ben Carson was on Fox and Friends earlier. What a voice of reason he is.
Ironically,I think cruz has a losing game there. The more he goes after the Donald the higher Trumps’ numbers go.
Thanks,I have heard all the wealth is in Chicago but I find it hard to believe that a Southern Ill. could not prosper.
It’s how the drivebys roll. They always jump on, and like sharks smelling a drop of blood in the ocean, pile on into a feeding frenzy of bloody, boiling seas...
Add the fact that the GOPe will do just about ANYTHING to prevent Trump from winning, and in the middle of a campaign where obviously his opponents want to prevail over him, and you have a true, epic media meltdown.
Of course, this is NOT the first time this has happened with Trump’s run for the presidency.
Near I can recollect (and someone correct me if I’m wrong), the press and GOPe freaked out over:
-Mexican illegal aliens bring drugs, many are criminals, rapist etc. Need to build wall.
-John McCain, no hero.
-Muslims keep out.
-Hillary schlonged.
I really thought Trump had stuck his foot in it the first few times above. But he ROSE in the polls.
Can he survive THIS particular frenzy? Look at his track record.
Sydney. Cheers, B
I’m done with Tapper ... still recording on TIVO, so I’ll go watch Wallace & Trump, because Tapper is interviewing MicroRubio now and I have not yet eaten anything this morning!
I can’t stomach Micro-Rubio. I pray he loses in a landslide.
