BREAKING: Insiders say Huckabee to endorse Trump shortly in Arkansas
Prntly ^ | February 27, 2016 | Dmitri Salnikov

Insiders have broken the news, Trump will be getting the endorsement from governor Mike Huckabee in Arkansas Shortly before the Arkansas Caucus.

This comes after Huck's daughter endorsed Trump

Donald Trump announced Thursday that Mike Huckabee's daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is joining his campaign.

"I have great respect for Governor Mike Huckabee and we have a mutual admiration for our wonderful families. It is great to have his daughter, Sarah, join the campaign," Trump said in a statement.

"What makes Mr. Trump my choice for president is he will break the grip of the donor class on our government and make it accountable to working families again," said Sanders, who is joining Trump's team as a senior advisor.

Sanders' father, the former Arkansas Governor, was previously Trump's rival for the Republican nomination and dropped out of the raceimmediately after the Iowa caucus results rolled in. Huckabee, who ran for president in 2008 as well and won the Iowa caucus that year, has yet to endorse someone in the race. The announcement could be a hint that he'll throw his weight behind Trump.

ENTONVILLE (KFSM) -- The Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport outlined some guidelines ahead of Donald Trump's airport rally on Saturday (Feb. 27).

Airport officials are anticipating nearly 8,500 will be heading to hear the presidential hopeful speak at XNA. Although the event is free, people will still need tickets to attend the event, which can be found here.

With such a large crowd expected, airport officials said the rally will be held at the Regional Jet Center Hanger, instead of the terminal.

People will be standing on concrete outside, so XNA director Kelly Johnson is encouraging visitors to come prepared.

"There's not going to be any seating, so think about that when you dress to come out to the event," she said.

Everyone will need to pass through security before the event. Screening will begin at 9 a.m.

"There will be seven stations set up and you'll go through a metal detector," Johnson said. "Don't bring bottles of water, don't bring your pocket knife don't bring a lawn chair. That's not going to be allowed."

Limited parking will be available, so carpooling is encouraged. Parking will be directed to Lot 1 first, followed by Lot 2. After both of those are filled, drivers will be directed to Overflow Lot 3.

"We've got three fields set up there so you will be parking in the field," Johnson said. "It's not a great place to try to park thousands of people. Carpool if you can because once the parking is gone, it is gone."

All passengers with Saturday morning flights are encouraged to arrive two hours before their flights are scheduled to depart.

"There are only about 700 people traveling until noon, so we encourage those folks to please look at your travel plans and adjust your drive time in the event that we do have a back up," Johnson said. "We saw that happen the last time we did one of these, with Bush."

The rally is expected to last an hour.

I forgot that Cruz kicked himself that HE didn’t think of a rally and tried to hog the stage from Huck. He looked pathetic.

What is interesting about Cruznadians and Rubots is that they will trash Trump for calling people names and berating them but the Cruznadians and Rubots will think nothing of doing what Trump does when attacking Trump supporters.

What an amazing double standard but I forgot they are all principled conservatives.

TRUMP [on the Larry King Show (April 15, 2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president (Obama)]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."

Fred Dicker: What is it going to mean for Donald Trump to have Bill de Blasio as [New York City] Mayor? "

Donald Trump: "He's a smart guy that knows what's going on really big league and I think he is not going to want to destroy New York."

(Voice Over: That was Donald Trump a little over two years ago, endorsing [Marxist] Bill de Blasio for New York Mayor)

Donald Trump: "I think pretty strongly that he'll end up being a good mayor, maybe a very good mayor."

(Voice Over: De Blasio ran on class warfare, sanctuary cities and ending stop and frisk. De Blasio's sided with looters and cop killers against the police, with teachers unions against schoolchildren and with PC liberals to let the homeless run wild on city streets)

Donald Trump: "I think he is going to want to make New York great. ..."

He explained, "I've lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, okay? So my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa."

When Russert asked Trump about abortion, he said he's "pro-choice in every respect" and again cited his New York background, which he said has a "different attitude" from most of the country

How Russia arms America's southern neighbors

Ioan Grillo
May 9, 2014

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.

Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.

Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.

In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia Boosts Arms, Training for Leftist Latin Militaries

Moscow defense minister inks deals with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua for joint exercises

BY: Bill Gertz
February 20, 2015

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.

Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

"50 years is enough , " Trump said in an interview with the Daily Caller published Tuesday, referring to Obama's decision to re-establish U.S. ties with Cuba.

"I think it's fine. I think it's fine, but we should have made a better deal," Trump added. " The concept of opening with Cuba is fine."

What an amazing double standard but I forgot they are all principled conservatives.

And how is it that this doesn't work in both directions? ie, for Trump supporters who complain about nasty insults from Cruz or Rubio supporters when Trump is one of the meanest, nastiest people ever to run for president, at least on the republican side. Trump actually seems to get off on insulting and belittling people, particularly legit conservatives (unlike him). The only people it seems he's nice to are enemies of America such as KGB Putin, and a bunch of hardcore lefties/outright communists like Bill De Blasio and Obama.

You are making my point for me.

Cruznadians and Rubots complain about what a meanie Trump is but they also claim the right to do the same as Trump while telling everyone they are principled conservatives and it is different when they do it.

If Cruznadians and Rubots claim Trump to be a sleaze bag they are no less sleazy especially when their candidates snuck around voting for TPP/TPA!

"You can lead a Trump supporter to critical facts & info, but you can't make him/her think"

Happy to take you on any time.

"These Trump supporting clowns"

Looks like you've started with the very typical and dime a dozen name-calling. That's a not a very strong opening argument.

Absent Trump, what is your scenario for an extant America in 8 years, one that still stands a chance of ever coming back from the dead? You would remain right, correct, in good form ... but with no country to govern or take back. Signing your own death warrant, but with good hand writing.

What you miss is that it's not enough to be right. If no one followed Washington across the Delaware, you could call him a great thinker and patriot, but not a great leader. And you could also call him dead.

Perhaps the conservatives haven't left FR, perhaps you are merely imaging clown costumes wherever you look.

The thing about the name calling, though, is it's cowardice. Would you talk that way if I/they were standing in front of you? I doubt it. So you do it to feel like a tough guy, smart guy. You're probably not mature enough to be aware of that, so you'll flat out deny it.

That's not true of all those against Trump, so I'm not going generalize that past you in particular.
