When I hear Trump comment on the media I think, sure, we know that, a presidential candidate needs to be talking. And it’s all true

They think that’s thermonuclear?

Well the truth, to liars, they say burns very badly. I guess that’s what they’re saying

Pray for Trump and our country

Congress Shall Make No Law: Protecting the First Amendment from Attack
The Heritage Foundation held an event on today to address the “All-Out Assault on the First Amendment.” Hosted by Hans von Spakovsky, the panel was comprised of distinguished public policy and research professionals like Christina Hoff Sommers, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute; RNLA Advisory Council Member Robert Alt, President, Buckeye Institute; John C. Eastman, Henry Salvatori Professor of Law & Community Service, Chapman University Fowler School of Law, and Senior Fellow, The Claremont Institute; and RNLA Advisory Council Member Cleta Mitchell, Partner, Foley & Lardner LLP.

The discussion started with a profound statement from Ms. Mitchell, that the 5 most beautiful words in the English language are: “Congress shall make no law… “

Ms. Mitchell further stated that the left is turning that phrase on its head, and the First Amendment is being used to protect the government from the people and not vice versa. This is the exact opposite of the Founders’ purpose for including that clause. She uses the composition of the Federal Election Commission to discuss a troubling example. The Commission is supposed to be a bipartisan group of individuals, yet prior to Hans von Spakovsky, Brad Smith, and Don McGahn becoming Commissioners, there regularly was one Republican who seemed to be conservative in name only and continuously voted with the Democrats. This issue compromised the integrity of the Commission. Additionally, she added comments about the recent scandal with the IRS targeting of conservatives, noting Commissioner Koskinen’s long history of solely supporting liberal candidates and the implicit bias that comes along with that support; the John Doe investigation in Wisconsin; and the enforcement of political speech codes in Montana....

We should be thanking Hellary for showing the world how Trump doesn’t take guff off anyone. He doesn’t back down. He holds strong.

And Soviet citixens were fond of saying “there is no truth in pravda”.

Same sh*t, different country.

MSN has a banner headline this morning: `Trump Calls `Little John’ Uncle Tom.’
The MSM is in loon territory with their candidate now.

podestaatsmear.com: `Sally, how about saying Trump called one of those rappers a derogatory name?’

sallyatMSN.net: “You got it!”

Speaking of data, try this on for size:

...The newest batch of WikiLeaks revelations was covered for a combined 57 SECONDS out of 66 minutes of total air time on ABC, NBC and CBS. (include derogatory comments about Catholics by senior Clinton campaign officials and...collusion between the media and her campaign It's newsworthy stuff)

On the other hand, allegations from four women of unwanted sexual advances by Trump were covered a combined 23 MINUTES (!!)

Add it all up, and one presidential candidate's negative news of the day was somehow covered more than 23 times more than another candidate's negative news of the day.

How's THAT for "journalistic" collusion??

While Hillary rests up and appears on "puff" shows like 'Ellen', Michelle 0bama campaigns and viciously lies on behalf of Hillary Clinton. Joining Michelle as Hillary's surrogates, are active President Barack Hussein 0bama (who is clearly working at NOT representing ALL the people), Al Gore, Joe Biden, and a cabal of fawning, lying media machination like the The Washington Post and New York Times.

FOR THE RECORD: The Debate Moderators (chosen by a "bi-partisan" panel) since 2008 have been obvious DEMOCRAT SURROGATES, clearly having violated journalistic ethics by colluding, aiding and abetting the DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES.

FOR THE RECORD: The Republican National Committee and its chairman, Reince Priebus have NEVER launched any formal complaint. This despite the obviously favoritism from Debate Moderators in tone and subject toward 0bama and Clinton, and obvious antagonistic tone and subject matter TARGETING Donald Trump.

A MATTER OF RECORD: "CAN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ASSURE US THAT YET ANOTHER ELECTION WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY RAMPANT FRAUD? CAN REINCE PRIEBUS TELL US EXACTLY WHO IS COUNTING THE VOTES?" (and whether the Democrat Machination has any part in it? Or will he and the RNC-GOP allow Election Fraud as usual?)

FOR THE RECORD: The vast majority of MSM WORKED exclusively for Barack Hussein 0bama in both 2008 and 2012. They now WORK EXCLUSIVELY FOR HITLERY CLINTON.

FOR THE RECORD: There ARE NO RNC/Republican Party surrogates for Donald Trump in defense of the libel and slander.

FOR THE RECORD: The vast majority of Fox News Channel reporting joins the other Clinton/Democrat-run networks as surrogates in negatively slanted Trump stories based on hearsay, over-exaggeration, lies, and unproven claims.

FOR THE RECORD: There is a coup in progress to hijack the will of the People and press to elect Hillary Clinton via a heavily biased Mainstream Media, TV outlets, Hollywood, AND the anti-Constitution Establishment Bush-Ryan wing of the Republican Party.

Clinton's opponent, DONALD TRUMP, is dependent on the loyalty of freedom-loving conservative radio and websites like Free Republic, Breitbart, The Gateway Pundit, and (thankfully) DRUDGE REPORT -- as well as most importantly, freedom-loving, loyal American citizens who've pledged allegiance to our Republic, the Constitution, and...to God.

As to the feckless, treasonous Bush-Ryan Globalist Wing of the Republican Party, it supports Hillary Clinton (D) and the destruction of the USA as we know it. In the immortal words of William Wallace: "BURN IT!"

A friend was telling me that Amy Stoddard said on Fox News today that the Trump campaign was imploding. Really?

Donald Trump just needs to make one of those GEICO type commercials:

When you are a young, handsome millionaire, you act like a playboy.
That’s what you do.

When you are an older, more mature billionaire who sees how corrupt politicians have run your country into the ground, you run for President.
That’s what you do.
