Donald Trump might have written The Art of the Deal, but the title he should peruse today is Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. His more vocal supporters, and by that I mean those who act out on the internet precisely as Donald does on the stump, should pick up a copy as well. Both the candidate and his hard-core supporters have missed the idea that it is the job of the winner to unite a party. Oddly the Trumpists defend their offensive and insulting demeanor by saying that neither John McCain nor Mitt Romney reached out...

In 2008, the trial and conviction of five leaders of an Islamic charity for funding the terrorist group Hamas exposed the vast Muslim Brotherhood network in the U.S. and its stated aim, according to FBI evidence, to “destroy Western Civilization from within.” Along with the convictions, the Department of Justice named 300 unindicted co-conspirators in the plot, which included many of the nation’s most prominent Muslim Brotherhood-related organizations. Among them were the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust. Nevertheless, just one year later, Department of Homeland Security officer Philip B....

Donald J. Trump plans to throw Bill Clinton’s infidelities in Hillary Clinton’s face on live television during the presidential debates this fall, questioning whether she enabled his behavior and sought to discredit the women involved. Mr. Trump will try to hold her accountable for security lapses at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and for the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens there. And he intends to portray Mrs. Clinton as fundamentally corrupt, invoking everything from her cattle futures trades in the late 1970s to the federal investigation into her email practices as secretary of state. Drawing on psychological warfare...

Following the Islamic jihadist terrorist attacks in Brussels last week that killed 35 and wounded over 300, the Arab press reacted with blame for the West and certain countries in the region for supporting terrorism. A columnist for the Palestinian Authority (PA) daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, for instance, wrote recently that ISIS lacks the power and ability to carry out massive attacks like those in Paris and Brussels, and that they were actually orchestrated by Israel, using ISIS as a tool. Now, however, MEMRI – the Middle East Media Research, based in Washington, D.C. – reports on several noteworthy and self-critical...

Five days after 28 victims died in the Brussels terror attacks four people remained unidentified — an agonizing delay for families waiting on news about their loved ones. Among the dead are American couple Justin and Stephanie Shults, who were confirmed killed on Saturday, and New-York based siblings Sascha and Alexander Pinczowski, who were confirmed killed on Friday. Former Belgium diplomat Andre Adam, who served as an ambassador to the United States in the 1990s, has also been confirmed dead. He was en route to the U.S. when he was killed at Brussels airport, the New York Times reported. The...

Somali 'refugee' influx continues unabated Obama sending 700 per month to U.S. cities despite admitted 'terror-recruitment problem' The Islamic State’s Cyber Army used an online cellphone app to post a “kill list” of names, addresses, phone numbers and other personal information on 36 police officers in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. The FBI said this week it is investigating the case but analysts say it’s obvious why ISIS chose to target the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The area is home to America’s largest Somali refugee community and has been a hotbed of Islamic terrorist recruitment dating back to at least...

A conversation about Donald Trump on Mornings with Maria Monday nearly went off the rails as Trump supporter and reality TV star Omarosa Manigault offered a retort to Fox contributor Tamara Holder by invoking her “big boobs.” The panel discussion, led by host Maria Bartiromo, turned on Trump’s criticism of George W. Bush‘s handling of the 9/11 attacks and the Iraq War. It all began when one panelist accused Trump of mentioning 9/11 a lot with the aim of politicizing it. Rather than give due consideration to this absolutely unheard-of tactic, the former Apprentice star brought a heavy dose of...

Unbelievable how lame some of this stuff is...  seems infatuated people will believe anything. And the instant mob lynching of whomever  Trump tells them to is a bit scary, even Orwellian: Nice Photoshop uglifying... and psychopath now too? Goebbels -surely an inspiration- would have loved this one- just add greedy Jew nose Funny because Trump has such great hair, never any infantile tantrums More at Reaganite Republican

We have never had total war against a candidate like we're seeing with Donald Trump. All elements of national media are uniting to stop him. Look for a fake Trump scandal to break -- probably from a conservative news outlet -- right before the Iowa caucus. A few months ago, an alleged Trump quote from a 1998 People magazine interview was circulating on the Internet, claiming Trump said that if he ever ran for president, he'd run as a Republican because Republican voters are "the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could...

He stressed that Donald Trump was never to be trusted,  for the man operates utterly devoid of principle What happened is the NY attorney I know -and his lawyer sister- had done business with Trump, and in fact had all but won a case for him that resulted in a substantial cash settlement, to which the attorneys where contractually entitled to their % cut once the lawsuit was done. In this particular circumstance, the fee was to be over a million dollars, and it wasn't the first time they had worked with The Donald. So when it all fell...

Zur Frage der Herkunft der Männer vor dem Hauptbahnhof berichtet der Beamte der Zeitung, durch seine Gruppe habe es in der Nacht 15 vorläufige Festnahmen gegeben. Diese Personen seien „definitiv erst wenige Tage oder Wochen“ in Deutschland gewesen: „Von diesen Personen waren 14 aus Syrien und eine aus Afghanistan. Das ist die Wahrheit. Auch wenn sie schmerzt.“ My translation of above: A law enforcement official answered the question of where the men [attackers] originated and told the paper his squad arrested 15 that night. These people were definitely only a few weeks or days in the country. "Of these men,...

In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, GOP national front-runner Donald Trump continued the attack on current Iowa front-runner Ted Cruz. When asked by Wolf Blitzer who was tougher on illegal immigration, Trump accused Cruz of flip-flopping on amnesty. Watch:Full Donald Trump and Wolf Blitzer Interview: Part 1 (Video)Trump also said Cruz co-opted his position on building a wall across the southern border. “I was watching Ted the other day and it was very interesting. He said, ‘And we must build a wall.’ OK? And my wife said, ‘Darling, he just said build a wall.’ That’s the first person that said...

After breezily dispatching (Walker, Perry) and/or permanently crippling (Bush, Rand Paul) a number of weaker GOP challengers who dared to get-up-in-his-grill, Donald Trump is now making noises about going after Ted Cruz... but if he does, this time it's likely to be different. First off, he looks like a disingenuous hypocrite to attack Ted Cruz after allying himself with him so closely to this point, saying nice things repeatedly, and claiming they think almost identically. He's clearly taking a huge risk in alienating the Republican base. Trump has claimed he's only going to get into tangles with Cruz 'if he comes after...

U.S. investigators are increasingly convinced the California shooters planned multiple attacks, given their stockpile of weapons, and are looking at whether the Pakistani woman involved radicalized her American husband, officials said on Sunday. Investigators believe the weapons cache collected by Tashfeen Malik, 29, and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, points to more attacks but they do not have evidence on other possible targets, a senior U.S. government source told Reuters. The couple stormed a gathering of his work colleagues in San Bernardino, California, on Wednesday, opening fire with assault-style rifles and killing 14 people. The pair were killed a...

http://www.allenbwest.com/2015/11/folks-we-have-two-options-in-the-fight-against-islamic-jihadism/ Article by Allen West: "...I think its time we get the language correct: theres nothing radical about this, its just plain Islamic terrorism and jihadism. We need leaders who are students of history and comprehend the various phases of Islam: First Mecca, Medina, Second Mecca and the global jihad. Those who continue to drone on about the peaceful Islam must come to realize that period is whats called the First Mecca phase (peaceful phase) and lasted just over 10 years, 610-622 AD...."

Skip to 2:15 to watch Rhodes, responding to the news that one of the Paris bombers washed up onshore in Greece just six weeks ago, claim that it’s full speed ahead on the U.S. accepting 10,000 Syrian refugees of its own. The Democratic nominee-in-waiting said on Saturday night that she wants 65,000(!) refugees here, albeit “only if we have as careful a screening and vetting process as we can imagine.” That’s a mighty bold move by Democrats given that a majority of Americans already opposed admitting refugees back in September, with that number sure to rise now in the wake...

Donald Trump suggested Monday that U.S. counterterrorism officials should shut down certain mosques in response to the horrific terrorist attacks in Paris last week. “I would hate to do it but it’s something you’re going to have to strongly consider,” the 2016 Republican frontrunner said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” when asked if he would recommend taking the measure. “Some of the absolute hatred is coming from those areas,” he said.

WARSAW - Poland cannot accept migrants under European Union (EU) quotas after Friday's attacks in Paris, Poland's European affairs minister designate Konrad Szymanski said on Saturday. In a commentary published in the right-leaning news portal wPolityce.pl, Szymanski said his incoming government did not agree with Poland's commitment to accept its share of an EU-wide relocation of immigrants, and now, "in the face of the tragic acts in Paris, we do not see the political possibilities to implement (this)." Szymanski will take up his position on Monday as part of a government formed by the last month's election winner, the conservative...
