No, The Terrorist Attacks In Belgium Don't Mean Donald Trump Will Be President (NPR Alert)
National Public Radio ^ | March 22, 2016 | Domenico Montanaro

Posted on 03/22/2016 4:01:48 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In the immediate aftermath of the Brussels bombings, Donald Trump mentioned something he likes to talk about -- polls.

"Well first of all, this is a subject that is very near and dear to my heart, because I've been talking about it, certainly much more than anybody else, and it's why I'm probably No. 1 in the polls, because of the fact that I say we have to have strong borders," Trump said Tuesday morning on NBC's Today show.

That was hours after it had become clear that at least a dozen people were killed in the attack on the Belgian capital's transit system and airport. When pressed on what he would do as president in response to such an attack, Trump said he would not allow "certain people to come into this country without absolute perfect documentation."

It was Trump once again turning to protectionism as a way of dealing with the world. Back in December -- following the Paris terrorist attacks and the shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., by a husband-and-wife team sympathetic to ISIS -- Trump proposed a controversial ban on Muslims entering the United States.

Trump has said he would "bomb the s***" out of ISIS, but he also flirted with isolationism Monday in a trip to Washington, D.C. In an editorial board meeting with the Washington Post, he questioned whether the U.S. should continue to be involved with NATO, the military alliance formed almost 70 years ago as a way to respond to the potential threat posed by the former Soviet Union. NATO is headquartered in Brussels.

Though Trump has a selective reading of polls -- ones he likes, he trumpets, ones he doesn't, he ignores -- he's certainly No. 1 in the GOP primary....

But it adds to his credibility on this issue

Another reason this rabid left wing excuse for an entity should not be given any federal funding.

NPR has to put out material like this to prevent their financial supporters from committing suicide.

...because it's been clear for a while that he will be our next President -- the latest mass-murder by jihadists, this time in Brussels, just helped bring that fact into sharp focus.

Donald Trump Finds New City to Insult: Brussels
By DAN BILEFSKY and CLAIRE BARTHELEMYJAN. 27, 2016

LONDON — He incensed Paris and London by saying that some of their neighborhoods were so overrun with radicals that the police were too scared to enter.

He raised Scottish tempers by threatening to pull the plug on his investments there, including his luxury golf courses, if British politicians barred him from entering Britain.

Now, Donald J. Trump has upset the already beleaguered people of Belgium, calling its capital, Brussels, “a hellhole.”

Asked by the Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo about the feasibility of his proposal to bar foreign Muslims from entering the United States, Mr. Trump argued that Belgium and France had been blighted by the failure of Muslims in these countries to integrate.

“There is something going on, Maria,” he said. “Go to Brussels. Go to Paris. Go to different places. There is something going on and it’s not good, where they want Shariah law, where they want this, where they want things that — you know, there has to be some assimilation. There is no assimilation. There is something bad going on.”

Warming to his theme, he added that Brussels was in a particularly dire state. “You go to Brussels — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful — it’s like living in a hellhole right now,” Mr. Trump continued.

When the stars were all aligned, George Bush was in the WH, Congress was GOP, and there was a conservative Supreme Court.
That would have been the time to deep-six CPB. But we know what happened. Nothing. Fedguv continued to grow. There are reasons for the Tea Party and Trump’s rise.

PJ Media ^ | March 22, 2016 | Bridget Johnson

Posted on 03/22/2016 4:05:34 PM PDT by Kaslin

The Islamic State released photos of jihadists handing out candy in occupied Syria to celebrate the terrorist attacks in Brussels.

ISIS claimed responsibility earlier in the day for twin morning blasts that hit Zaventem airport and a later explosion at Maelbeek metro station.

The official statement on ISIS letterhead in French and Arabic noted "a secret cell of the soldiers of the Caliphate" targeted "places chosen with precision" in Brussels.

ISIS promised the "Crusader states" even more "dark days in response to their aggression against our state. And what awaits you will be harder and more bitter, with the permission of Allah."

Similarly, ISIS distributed photos after the November Paris attacks of jihadists handing out candy in Sirte, Libya, the occupied hometown of late dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
