Folks, here’s what I have to say about Trump’s ‘hot mic’ comments…
Allen B. West ^ | 10/8/16 | Allen West

Posted on 10/09/2016 2:42:45 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

Hey, can y’all keep a secret? Well, I’m writing this missive from the historic Olympic Club, nation’s oldest athletic club founded in 1860, located in San Francisco. Boy howdy, I was a bit nervous that as soon as I landed, ol’ Nancy Pelosi would have Obama’s secret police there to put me in shackles.

Friday evening I spoke to the San Francisco GOP Club, and yes, there is such a thing and a great group of folks led by Christine Hughes. It was great to see my dear friend Marie Stroughter of African-American Conservatives and her family. Today, I’m in Bakersfield, California to speak at the Bakersfield Business Conference. Why be in California? Because we have to fight and make a stand for constitutional conservatism everywhere, and I love going in behind “enemy lines” and causing disruption. As well, it’s important to encourage our conservative and Republican brothers and sisters everywhere; that’s why I love going on college campuses and to places like Rhode Island.

Now, I do have one regret, I will not be able to sit before a TV and watch my #9 ranked Tennessee Volunteers take on the #8 ranked Texas A&M Aggies down in College Station, Texas. The Vols pulled another one out last week against Georgia — only time I cheer against my home State, mind you — but I just dunno if their “lucky charm” can go much further. I can bet all those Aggie faithful friends I’ve made since moving to Texas will be hogging up my cell phone.

Yes, I will get to my thoughts about the Trump tape below — but allow me to set some context for them first.

As reported by The Hill, Defense officials on Thursday reacted coolly to the Russians’ warning not to strike Syrian regime targets, saying U.S. air forces would continue to conduct its current operations in Syria against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

We’ll continue to conduct our operations as we have for months now over Syria, and we’ll continue to do so taking every possible step we need to to ensure the safety of our air crews,” Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook told reporters.

Earlier in the day, a Russian military spokesman warned the U.S. against striking Syrian regime military targets, noting that its air defense systems in Syria could fend off any attack.

“I would recommend our colleagues in Washington to carefully weigh possible consequences of the fulfillment of such plans,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Thursday, according to the Associated Press.

Russia announced Tuesday that it had moved the S-300 surface-to-air missile system to its naval base in Tartus, Syria, to defend the base and its ships. It would be capable of shooting down aircraft and ballistic missiles.

The announcement came amid renewed talk in Washington of pursuing military options to end the civil war in Syria, after negotiations between the U.S. and Russia to end the civil war were formally suspended Monday.

Currently, U.S. forces are only targeting ISIS and other terrorist groups in Syria, but the White House is discussing options to pressure Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to negotiate an end to the civil war, which is estimated to have killed more than 400,000.

Military options reportedly include striking targets associated with Assad’s air force, establishing safe zones inside Syria and supplying anti-regime rebels with anti-aircraft systems.

I know, I know, doggone me for bringing up this “other stuff,” when all the liberal progressive media wants to talk about is some audio of Donald Trump from 11 years ago. This whole threat from Russia, or even the abysmal jobs report of September, that evidences the failure of the Obama economy — which Hillary Clinton wants to continue — that’s not what the leftists want to discuss. Why talk about the things that are happening now — well, nothing good is happening now for the liberal progressives of the new American socialist party — so get the complicit liberal left media to deflect.

Now, ask yourself, does Hillary Clinton REALLY want to make this election about Donald Trump and women? Needless to say, her house has been on fire, some say still is, and she wants to complain about the grass being too high at someone else’s house. And let’s not bring up the 12-year-old girl, a rape victim, that Mrs. Clinton assailed, enabling a rapist to go free — anyone heard the audio of Hillary laughing about how he denigrated that little girl?

The true fact is that Hillary Clinton and her campaign does not want to talk about how we now know what Barack Obama meant when he confided to Dmitry Medvedev that he’d have more flexibility after his reelection. So Vladmir Putin has sent a message to Obama and Hillary about “red lines” and the empty rhetoric about Assad must go — don’t try it.

The disaffected and disinterested boy king Obama has been played, and I mean just frankly pinked-out like a wimp at the beach by the world’s tough guys — Putin, Xi Jinping, Rouhani, and Kim Jung-Un. Obama and Hillary have decimated our military capability and evidenced such a weakness in our foreign policy that we have everyone out there telling the United States what we had best not do! We no longer command respect or have a venerable and feared military deterrent force — nah, we’re too busy developing transgender handbooks for our military and promising sex change operations for individuals suffering from the mental condition called gender dysphoria.

But hey, don’t let me get in the way of the Clinton News Network breaking news coverage of the Donald Trump audio tape from 11 years ago. That is REALLY what’s important. And what does that have to do with Americans getting back to work in a Country that only produced 156K jobs in the entire month of September — and that number could be revised when we’re not watching, like next month. We have more than 90 million Americans out of work, and not even part of the active workforce seeking employment. They are just that discouraged. We have a workforce participation rate that remains the lowest in nearly 40 years. We have a Russian dictator, who was emboldened by the weakness of Obama and Hillary Clinton — who gives a former KGB Colonel a damn yellow toy? And all the leftist media wants to talk about is some freaking Miss Universe from 20 years ago and audio from 11 years ago?

This represents the desperation of the leftists and their need to deploy their all hands on deck accomplices of the Orwellian media establishment elites to provide cover. See, there is a whole portion of this Country who have not a clue about what’s happening. If Hillary Clinton wants to talk about Trump’s taxes, well, let’s talk about her Clinton Foundation. If Hillary Clinton wants to talk about Trump’s business, let’s talk about her losing $6B while head of the State Department. If Hillary Clinton wants to talk about character, let’s talk about abandoning Americans to die for 13 hours and lying about the combat engagement, as you had a live feed from an unarmed drone.

I’ve had it with this crappy liberal progressive media. And here’s a warning, since you don’t want to report what’s actually happening in the world, there will be a consequence. Many across this great Nation know of your blatant and obvious collusion with the Obama administration and the Hillary Clinton campaign, like CNN’s Wolf Blitzer dancing and singing at the DNC convention. A solid contingent of folks are going to ensure you are not dancing and singing the evening of November 8th.

As for Donald Trump and this audio tape from 11 years ago, “what difference at this point does it make”…seems that rant worked for a corrupt liar who did not answer the 3am call and had an Ambassador and three other Americans killed on her watch.

A long read, and he seems to be rambling on in this commentary, but there's a method to his madness. As usual more very thoughtful insight from Col.West

Good post. Good man. He focuses on what’s at stake. We’ve already lost so much under Obama. We cannot continue with at least four years of the Clintons back at it for their round II.

I actually don’t care about two grown men talking about chasing tail. It’s not even slightly problematic for me. of course, I came from an infantry unit that didn’t walk around in red high heel shoes, so....

It pays to remember that the left had to have been sitting on this three minute tape for some time.And,they were probably plotting with Ryan, Priebus and bush along with the DNC.So we have traitors within our party at high levels who will be asking for our support in 2020 to anoint Paul Ryan.Well they can kiss that idea good bye.

Undoubtedly, the Bushes,who hate Trump and are actively working for Hillary now that i think about it, could easily have been the providers of the three minute tape since one of their kin is in it and may have even given it to the other side.

Since we know the dnc told Ryan/Priebus weeks before they let the tape out it was going to happen.Seems Ryan/Priebus/Bush failed to tell the Donald the tape would be released in a few weeks.

That alone tells you that aside from Ryan's aspirations for 2020 (which he can kiss bye bye) he and others had been plotting with the dnc to sabotage our candidate.

Let that sink in a while.

The first time Hillary was cheated on by Bill she was a victim, the second time an enabler, after that a co-conspirator. Now she and the entire Democratic party are just hypocritical, two faced manipulative liars and practice the worst brand of misogyny - they glorify and condone the sexual predator in their midst while vilifying and excoriating others. Our ex president stuck a cigar in a barely out of teenage girls pussy in the White House! After leaving the White House he has visited ‘Lolita Island’ on the Pussy Galore Express multiple times. And to the Democrats he was and is a hero. Can’t have it both ways.

“what difference at this point does it make”

excellent response. Trump should use this when it is brought up in the debate (because it will be)

he would then need to pivot onto the more pressing matters or at least hillary’s motivations for bringing such stuff up at this time...

could it be... she was trying to deflect attention away from the wikileaks dump of 1700+ emails showing her involvement in arming AQ and isis?

after all... arming America’s enemies is a direct act of TREASON. ESPECIALLY when those actions result in the deaths of Americans

Most wives know their sweet, wonderful, devoted husbands talk like truck drivers when they're with the boys....and that their children use 4 letter words when mom and dad are not around. And women...they can be colorful, too.

Stop being stunned and outraged...it's ridiculous ands phoney.

That was a private conversation...released to damage Trump...and for no other reason. Would like to hear conversations between Bubba and Monica....not really. No one can be more disgusting than Bubba.

Personally i don’t care. If i saw a hornets nest i would knock it down.

I’m smart enough to realize we are all human, you can change the future but not the past unless you are a democrat as they have it backwards.

I also know its just like a bunch of monkey’s in a cage throwing feces at the visitors.

There’s a Yuuuge difference between 10 year old locker room talk and a 30+ year streak of criminal activity. Hillary for prison!

Vote Trump

Most husbands know that their sweet little wives talk worse than truck drivers when they attend a Chippendale’s show. I mean WAY WORSE than men at a ‘gentleman’s club’.

This is pretty much what I said in my first response to this. People, there is stuff blowing up around the world (i.e. things may go nuclear in Syria), and this is what we’re talking about?

No wonder countries around the world are laughing at us.

If my wife ever goes to a chippendale show she’s immediately single. I’m outta there. Somebody else can have her.

When Trump wins, there is going to be hell to pay. I expect Hillary and Bills crimes to come to light, the Clinton Foundation thrown into the light, a lot of GOPe losing a lot of influence, and top dems going to prison. Including Obama.

Don’t care. Post at will.

Few of us have the luxury of following FR 24/7. I would have missed this if the OP had been scared off by the posting police.
