One of the brothers charged in the August shooting death of mother-of-four Nykea Aldridge in Chicago, which prompted a controversial tweet from Donald Trump appealing for black support (“VOTE TRUMP!”), was released only two weeks earlier on a firearms violation...
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson last month explained reality to the Chicago Tribune: Of the 1,400 people on the city’s “Strategic Subject List” of those believed responsible for its gun violence, most have been arrested and released multiple times on gun charges. By one count (that of the Chicago Sun-Times) 75% of those booked on gun violations in the first three months of 2016 were back on the streets by June...
In New York in the heyday of stop-and-frisk, these killers would not have been released...
To many liberal and African-American activists not living under immediate threat of gun violence, however, stop-and-frisk has become unacceptable. They reject the tactic because police, some of whom are white, would inevitably be stopping mostly black and Hispanic citizens on the street in search of illegal weapons...
At bottom, it’s this rottenness of American political culture that allows Mr. Trump, for all his flaws as a candidate and human being, to find traction with so many voters. Not because he’s a uniquely attractive individual, but because he’s uniquely willing to violate the political taboos and challenge the status quo...
Not every problem can be solved with a modest policy tweak. Sometimes a wrecking ball is needed. Pollsters, in a moment of insight, have lately taken to describing the Trump voter as a compos mentis risktaker open to a high-risk, high-reward gamble.
This seems to get it about right. What kind of president would Mr. Trump make? We have no idea and there may be only one way to find out...

Trump gives us a fighting chance. He will need our support.
The progressive left will try to destroy the country to stop him...
Expect massive riots in the inner city, federal government grinding to a halt as the marxist fifth column embedded in every agency take their masks off.
"The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution"
Unfortunately, to stop the progressive left, Trump will have to destroy part of the country in doing so...to restore law and order..
Some of the country needs to be destroyed, we can always rebuild...to be great again.
Cursed from the start by slavery, we sealed this nation's fate 50 years years ago when we allowed Democrats to import millions of new voters from the Third World.
Trump can't save us. He can only postpone the inevitable. Eventually, blood will spill.
He won’t be prez and neither will Hillary.

May God bless Israel and all those who protect and defend her.
As such, I think Trump is either the anti-Christ, himself, or he's this generation's "Reagan" sent by Grace to restore US.
He's either one or the other, not someone somewhere in between.
Looking at Trump's record so far, I tend to think he's the Reagan we've been looking for, hoping for and waiting for.
At bottom, it’s this rottenness of American political culture that allows Mr. Trump, for all his flaws as a candidate and human being, to find traction with so many voters. Not because he’s a uniquely attractive individual, but because he’s uniquely willing to violate the political taboos and challenge the status quo.
The big difference today is that "diversity" didn't have a price when we were mostly agrarian, and had a frontier where people could relocate when they felt like it was time to move on.
Several things changed this dynamic completely, and they aren't all recent developments. In rough chronological order, I'll list a few of them here:
1. industrialization
2. the admission of Arizona and New Mexico into the Union just before World War I, which completed the contiguous 48 states and put everyone in this land mass under the control of one government
3. urbanization, and continued densification of urban areas
4. advances in telecommunications and computer technology, which effectively shrank the world and added a gray area in the definition of a national border
The end result of all this is that not only do we have a nation of 310-320 million people -- but we are living increasingly in circumstances where we have no choice but to interact with other people in the course of our lives.
This is why I believe that the core of most political, economic and social ills we face is that we are forced to interact with people -- under something other than our own terms -- who have absolutely nothing in common with us. And I don't just mean that in racial/ethnic terms, either.
The story of the Tower of Babel is in God’s Word for a reason. The “powers” are trying to rebuild the tower after God said “you can’t build that”, and scattered them into diverse tribes and different languages. He knew we accomplished more and remained better people in small groups with a common culture.
Why is it that we can’t all just get along? The truth of the matter is that we (the human race) just aren't as civilized as we would like to think we are. Our species, Homo sapiens sapiens, isn’t that long “out of the trees” and the veneer of civilization is very thin, to non-existent, upon us all. We’re all carrying the genes that got us here and some of those genes carry a very basic survival instinct that has allowed us to survive thus far.
This most basic of all survival instincts is self preservation and it’s the one that warns us to be very wary of those who are different than us, our family, and our tribe. Those who possessed this survival instinct survived and reproduced, and those who had no fear/distrust of strangers didn’t survive. Over the years, this survival instinct has been referred to as tribalism, nationalism, nativism, ethnocentrism, racism, and various other isms, but it’s an inborn instinct carried in our genes whether we like it or not.
OK Jack, what are you going to say on October 3rd when nothing has happened on the 2nd? Sounds like wishful thinking by you expecting some miracle.
OK Jack, what are you going to say on October 3rd when nothing has happened on the 2nd? Sounds like wishful thinking by you expecting some miracle. I'll believe in on the 3rd.
It’s just the beginning. It’s not like everything will suddenly quit functioning.
Go back to the beginning of the lead up to the End Times back in the fall of 1966. More specifically the evening of 14SEP1966 (that was when Rosh HaShana took place that year). Did anyone notice the day after that the slide suddenly started? No.
It was just the beginning of the slide to the End Times. Look how that slide has occurred over the past 50 years.
If I could have told you back then before some time before that date that you would see a major slide in humanity over the course of the next 50 years starting on that date would you have scoffed then? Of course, you would have!
But then look at what has occurred over the last 50 years. Things shifted in a big way around that time going downhill and hasn’t stopped. Think of it like a parabola. We peaked out and just started going down. At a certain point on that parabola things go down hill pretty fast. Kinda like that roller coaster that goes over the first hill it climbs. It’s gonna be a wild ride! Yeehaw!
2OCT2016 is the begging of the end. Just the beginning.
You are going to be amazed at how fast the downward trend to the end picks up steam just like that parabola.
Also, don’t forget about the Lunar Tetrad we just had the past two years in 2014 and 2015. Major changes in history occur not long after those happen.
Horse manure. Is Donald Trump, for example, more or less flawed as a candidate and person than, say, Hillary? Or her sweet Babboo?
How does Trump's family compare to Jeb's? Or Cruz?
I thought Jenkins was better than that. There's no excuse for recycling this cr@p.
