Jeff Sessions on Fox News Sunday, asked first if EgyptAir was an act of terrorism. Yes. Asked what if it was not, how do you walk that back?> If it's not, that's good news, but it probably is, and we need to talk openly about the threat of terrorism.

Trump is meeting with foreign policy guys - is this just a "box check" on the way to presidency? Trump is enjoying the meetings, his approach is more like Kissinger's, he is not inclined to interfere where US interests aren't at stake, need to be more cautious about foreign involvement.

Does Trump have more to learn? Yes, says Sessions, we all do. Good intelligence is most important. Even committing a small number of special forces is a big deal.

Does Trump know what he does not know (does he know the limits of his knowledge). Yes.

James Baker criticizing Trump over nukes, NATO, Sec. Def. Gates is not comfortable with Trump. Sessions grins. He says as time goes on, Gates and Trump will probably find they have very similar views.

On to the NRA. Sessions says that Hillary is the most anti-2nd amendment candidate. She says the Heller decision was wrong. If Heller was reversed, it would not be unconstitutional to ban firearms.

Does Trump have so much trouble with conservative Senators that he has to produce a list of SCOTUS candidates this early? 9What a flawed premise - the press is the most dishonest people in the world). Sessions says that the list was produced for whatever reasons Trump had, probably to respond to claims that Trump would nominate liberal judges.

I thought Senator Sessions was good on FNS. I think he is going to be Trump’s VP pick.

Hillary wants to control populations of all sorts especially NRA types who own guns. Its hard to do with the second amendment so she fights it whenever and wherever she can. She is the ultimate communist,even worse that Bernie.

Britt Hume says GOP is uniting out of opposition to Hillary. Those who are conservatives before being Republicans, he says, will not get behind Trump.

Massively intelligent (smart-glasses equipped) Kirsten Powers, says there will always be some who won't get behind Trump - won't matter.

Hillary running to the left of Bernie on guns.

Is Trump dead in the water because he polls poorly with Latinos? Juan Williams says yes. Hurts him in PA, Ohio, Virginia. Juan says, "you'll notice Mitt Romney isn't behind Trump, and he (Romney) is still asking for the release of Trump's taxes."

Fox seems obsessed with Trump's 100% assertion that the Egypt Air tragedy was a terrorist incident. Greg Palkot breathless reported yesterday that it could have been a mechanical/electrical problem thus disproving Trump's assertion.

The McCaul interview was interesting in that he said that among other things, one of the cockpit windows was blown out--the first time I have ever heard that mentioned. I suspect that the government already knows it is a terrorist incident. The Egyptian and French governments already have said as much.

Behind the scenes, officials are working frantically on airport security. If there are people employed by the airports or airlines who have been comprised, there is little technology can do prevent an inside job. This is what has them in such a panic.

Baker works for the Saudis. He has always worked for the Saudis.

Gates was “comfortable” enough with Obama to wait until he quit working for him to weakly criticize the worst President in American history.

Gates also presided over the gutting of the US military forces and is a prime example of the career Washington bureaucrat that has brought this country to its knees.

The anti-Trumpers( as in Fox, Wallace etc) are hoping the Egypt air tragedy was not terrorist action so they can then say Trump is unfit to be President because he jumped the gun and said it was. I thought Sessions really handled himself well today.
I have been hearing radio segments from Michael Medved saying that Trump is now going to accept donations for the general election and voters should be aware of this “change”. Trump never said he was going to self fund the general election. Medved, Hewitt, Levin etc need to pack it up and leave talk radio. They are all lying about Trump.

nice summary on sessions.

The MSM does realize that there are some rational people who watch them to learn what deceit they plan to use to confuse people.

Having a guy like sessions get the point serves to offset their attempt.
