So proud of Sarah Palin this morning on Good Morning America, where the media (Mat Lauer) tried to corner her on her son, the issue of PTSD and his behaviour. She rightly called him out on TV saying that she was told this was about the Iowa caucus and her support for Donald Trump. Lauer tried several times to steer her towards his aganda, and she called him out, and admonished him that this was not what she was promised by the producers would be the topic of conversation. Rather she commented on the military being allowed to do what they were trained to do, and not become political fodder...Good for you Sarah Palin!!!
thanks
Very true...It is funny to hear the candidates tear each other down in the primaries...They say their opponents could be the worst possible thing for our country...
Then, when the candidate is chosen, suddenly, they are great...a fantastic candidate and the other party has the worst thing that could happen to our country...
Palin ROCKED. When will they learn.....don’t mess with Mama Bear. She DEFENDS her cubs!
Matt Lauer is a sick freak who wore ladie’s high heels on the recent Ellen episode that Hillary was on.
I don’t watch the crap, but I saw it on the commercial advertising that show.
In that case, Mr. Smarty-Pants, you are a poopeyhead!
Like all of us, Sarah has made some mistakes in her life. That said, she has taken enormous personal risk trying to push and expand CONSERVATISM in this land.
Some “freepers” should “try” to bear that in mind BEFORE grabbing their keyboard and making snarky, superficial comments.
Exactly right along with a lot of help from the MSM. This time around, it's going to be different. Charge!
She brought up PTSD at the endorsement rally.
“My son, like so many others, they come back a bit different,” Palin said. “They come back hardened. They come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airmen and every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country. And that starts from the top.”
The former vice-presidential candidate continued: “It’s a shame that our military personnel even have to wonder, if they have to question if they’re respected anymore. It starts from the top. The question, though, it comes from our own president, when they have to look at him and wonder, ‘Do you know what we go through? Do you know what we’re trying to do to secure America and to secure the freedoms that have been bequeathed us?’”
Trump said he approved of her bringing it up. But since she did, during the endorsement and made it related to the incumbents policies, the topic is now on the table and fair game.
You mean like when it was ok to be a Birther when Obama was found to be unconstitutional and not now when Cruz may not be.
You mean when Goldman Sachs was a NWO bank and now it is not? You mean those conservative values or are you just talking about bashing Trump values?
Pray America wakes
It might have been better for her particular cubs if they hadn't been quite so assiduously shielded from reality.
I support Trump.
I support Palin.
I support America.
She should have simply said that her son had a legal situation back home and as we find out more about it and it proceeds through the legal process, more will become publicly known.
She made the PTSD a part of her speech and linked it to the incumbents policies toward soldiers. She put that part of it on the table announcing her support and endorsement of Trump.
She opened the door to the questioning.
I support America.
Using your own argument, accepting for this instance only its accuracy, Those indian Americans in 1928 would be naturalized, their children, if born in the US, to both naturalized parents would be Natural Born. So your statement that none of them are natural born, would only be for those who became naturalized in 1928.
However, you are aware of the Indian Nation. They have a different government on lands designated as Indian Nation Lands. No Non-Indian can own lands in these areas, but can rather lease property in these lands. I lived in these areas, and they have their own police forces, their own Fire Departments, and their place on adjoining lands policy boards. They have indian tax free liquour stores, gaming areas not legal elsewhere, and they have a type of profit sharing for indian families in those lands. Not to mention paid health care, emergency care, dental, vision, and welfare and food provisions, their own fishing areas not available to non-Indians, and are not subject to US laws.
That proves squat. Still has nothing to do with the Lauer interview.
It’s actually more about disgust for Sarah Palin and others who are willing to dismiss and disregard virtually everything that Trump once stood for and, in many cases, still stands for and taking every single word that comes out of Trump’s mouth as if it came from a burning bush.
It’s also about vilifying Ted Cruz because his wife works for Goldman Sachs, because he took out a loan from Goldman (against his own investment account), but disregarding the fact that Trump has not only taken out multiple loans from Goldman, but owns Goldman stock and that he has taken out loans from virtually every other NY-based international investment bank.
It’s about stupid Trump comments like “Ted Cruz was a Canadian anchor baby” when Trump knows (or should know) that, using his originalist definition of natural born, an American Indian will never be eligible to run for the presidency.
And it’s about a “win at all costs” attitude, no matter what the long-term ramifications might be - even if it involves destroying a good man who is vilified by the establishment of both parties and has a very strong, anti-GOP establishment conservative record in the process.
She was spot on!
Go Sarah!!!
So you sent her the fish’s head in olive oil wrapped in newspaper eh!
