"BUSTED: New York Times Caught Lying About @RealDonaldTrump’s Draft Record To Slime Him Post #KhizrKhan"
The New York Times Carlos Slim’s blog got caught in a lie today about Donald Trump’s military service.

Bingo! Correct. Pinch and his NY Slime cannot die fast enough. Who will miss the “Old Commie Gray Lady?”
I hit the jackpot. My number was 61. Walter Cronkite said that night,”If you’re 50 or below, you’re going. Anything above 50, you have a chance.” I got my welcome letter the following Tuesday. Old Walt had it in for me. I’m sure of it.
