Pat.
Boomer Esiason ( former Jet / Bengals QB ) on last night pointing out that Hernandez may have killed himself to protect his estate for his heirs, and even part of his unpaid Patriots contract.
He was in jail for life anyway convicted of one murder, while exonerated from 2 others.
Boomer also very emphatic in his commentary that we are all better off that Hernandez is gone...
Surprised a sports commentator from a major network would be this direct...
Most of what you have said vis-a-vis O’Reilly is BS. You don’t like him I get it. He was still one of the top shows, his books weren’t ghostwritten and no, American wasn’t tuning out O’Reilly.
Sad day for the country. Once again its leadership.Ryan is cabal and most likely so is McConnell,they have different agendas than our President,its sad but if anyone can get stuff done it's President Trump.
If we at least stay behind him 100% it will help.
Term limits bump!
One of the most important items on the to do list. But probably won’t happen.
The Turtle said earlier this year, paraphrased, “Term limits will not come before the Senate this year.” Or something like that.
Term limits. A necessary thing. No more lifetime politicians.
Excellent analysis and where I live its even worse.
Pat.
Enjoy listening to Rush, but also realize that 9/10 ths of what he covers I have already read, and had the benefit of commentary and analysis from fellow Freepers.
His stack is just Snerdly et al sifting through what we have seen already.
If you say so.
Bump for sendingoutbin email.... thx
Her father is the President and makes those decisions. He was elected by the people. I realize that you were never really a Trump supporter. The bashing of Ivanka and her husband is now the meme of the Left, the MSM, and the #neverTrumpers.
Have you looked to see how many hillary supporters were at that secret dinner at Dengs house after the election??
Trump is not a conservative. We knew that before he was elected. That said, he has made more conservative appointments and taken more conservative actions than many so called self-proclaimed conservatives. He is enforcing our immigration laws something Bush 43 did not do; he got rid of the TPP; he has eviscerated the power of the EPA getting rid of all kind of regulations, including those on coal production; he has appointed a Conservative SCOTUS; he has produced a budget that rebuilds the military; he has authorized the Dakota and Keystone pipelines; he has reset our foreign policy; etc. The list goes on and on.
Enough of the conspiracy theories. I will pay attention to what Trump does and judge him on that. Your hatred of Trump is showing.
Great catch heres a clip from your link:
The mission
August 6, 2011: Retired Air Force Capt. Joni Marquez and her crew were working the dark morning hours aboard an AC-130 gunship after being summoned to a mission she describes “as almost like a 9-1-1 type of a situation.”
The gunship was ordered to fly close-in air support above Afghanistan’s dangerous Tangi Valley, in Wardak Province, assisting troops with the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment who were being fired on by eight heavily armed Taliban insurgents.

The Rangers had called in for assault helicopters to engage the enemy hiding among the rocky valley. The air weapons team fired on the Taliban fighters, but not all of the insurgents were killed as originally believed.

“I had the sensor operators immediately shift to the eight insurgents the helicopters had taken out,” Marquez told Circa, in her first interview about the incident. “Two were still alive.”
Marquez was the fire control officer aboard the AC-130 gunship, making sure that the sensors and weapons were aligned and allowing the crew hone in on targets.

Permission denied
That night it didn’t matter, because the gunship was not given permission to fire. “We had seen two of them (insurgents) moving, crawling away from the area, as to not really make a whole lot of scene,” she recalled.
Monitoring the scene from above, she relayed the scene to the ground force commander. “You have two enemy forces that are still alive,” she said. “Permission to engage.”
They were denied.

Marquez told Circa the ground commander’s decision to not allow her crew to engage the two enemy fighters sealed the fate of those involved in Extortion 17.

38 dead
There was little left to do for Marquez and her team but simply track the two enemy insurgents with the surveillance equipment. She watched as the two moved tactically through the open field, making their way to a village where they began to rally more fighters.
Meanwhile, a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, with the call sign Extortion 17, was called into the hours-long firefight.

U.S. Central Command’s official investigation concluded that a rocket-launched grenade from a Taliban fighter hit the Chinook and sent the helicopter into a downward spin. The crash killed all 38, including thirty Americans and eight Afghans. Seventeen of the U.S. servicemen were Navy SEALs. Months before, SEALs were made famous for the killing of Osama bin Laden.
If we would’ve been allowed to engage that night, we would’ve taken out those two men immediately.

Deaths prevented?
Marquez believes that had her team been allowed to fire, those deaths could have been prevented.
“They continued to essentially gain more and more force behind them because they just kept knocking on doors,” she said. “And the two personnel that initially fled ended up becoming a group of 12 people.”
He even NAMES his ghost writer!!!!!! Right on his book.
Says it right on the book cover, Martin DeGard.
And how are you related to Bill O’Reilly? Cause you’ve already stated a lie that a google search would have proven.
Tucker Carlson, Watters World
youth and tenacity.... what we need more of.
Watters should be replacing O Reilly, but he will need to do his apprenticeship on the 5 enduring Dana PeRino......
Seal Team Six may have a little discussion with fat fattie Kim III,the guy is actually crazier than either glen beck or Nancy Piglosi and that’s saying a lot.
:):):) Saw a piece on a guy who lived in North Korea . Very interesting. All books are written about the family/leaders. Many live without electricity. They only have internet within the country.
Fake as fake can be.
Maybe Bill /Hilly/ Chelsea can move there and become the Royalty they think they are....
Catch a big one :):):)
Other than support for Kate Steinle I can't think of many great accomplishments other than self enrichment.
He was a terrible interviewer,couldn't make it on talk radio where you have to do your own research or get busted by callers really quick. Interrupted every guest he ever had and quite frankly FNC didn't pay 13 million in hush money to a bunch of FNC gals just for the heck of it.
He needed to go,an arrogant SOB, IMHO.
DACA...were you not for repeal during the election??? So now it is okay?
Exactly as we both know Chuck the Founders never envisioned a political class and we sure as heck don’t need one.
THanks bud,there are sat photos of Norkland at night,totally dark,says a lot.
It might be hard to believe but this poster just makes up stuff.
He-or she-has no idea about O’Reilly’s ratings but hey, just type and boom, it becomes the truth.
RG you nailed O’Reilly. And since I watch Fox cable damn near 24 hours a day, not that I’m big and real proud of that but I do.....I know them all.
O’Reilly was a loser. His books, his stupid tours, his guests.....his sale of junk....all helped keep him but I NEVER watched his show, turned it off as soon as it came on.
I am glad he’s gone and he did have some kind of thing a couple years back with a woman and I distinctly remember him apologizing for it.
So I type it and boom, it becomes true!
Reading all the bitching and griping about Trump on this thread today, I might just as well watch the Sunday Morning shows. Don’t see any difference.
Sessions did a great job with Georgie’s “gotcha” questions.
