But rather than litigate what Khan is or isn't, Paladino and Trump can get past this by pointing out that the "gold star" remark was conditional, and viewed that way, perhaps even the reporters will agree with it.
And if the press wants to litigate what Khan is, all Paladino has to do is pull a reporter trick, "people say Khan is a member of the MB."
So is Harpy going to stand with BLM and burning Milwaukie? She has to or lose the black vote. How is WI going to like that?
I hope for nothing more to be wrong.
And part of me agrees, goodness....but Hillary’s going to win this thing.....she’s spent her whole life awaiting this, she’s been screwed out of it every time.
People will die maybe, but Hillary is going to win this thing.
May I be wrong when I shall dance naked which might be a punishment unto itself.
God a place as any to post the Clinton kill list video: (long)

Great analysis,week after week wall-ass shows who and what he is a card carrying DBM shill.
Yeah its an hour long,got a summary for us on the Clinton hit list?I think it was near 100 on the list by now.?
Fish-remember the Clinton machine are master propagandists.All of the media elites are coordinating their attacks on Trump. It is something to watch isn’t it?
I don’t read Peppy Noonan much anymore, but she did write a column a few weeks ago about when “them”decided Trump was crazy. You can see how the attacks have escalated in that fashion against him.It is non stop 24/7.
Don’t let them get to you and dispirit you. That’s what they want.
All of us need to do our part. Volunteer, send money,help Trump campaign, in any way you can. I am walking our neighbourhood, knocking on doors and engaging anyone I can.
Talk back to the naysayers. Challenge them on social media. I have been able to turn several Never-Trumpers in the past few weeks.
Trump may lose, but I will be dammed if I am going to see him go down, without a fight.
Thanks to all for your insightful comments.
PRAY for Trump and Pence’s safety and for the welfare of this country.
“Chris thinks Pence should quit the ticket since Trump is just not a serious candidate like Hillary Clinton”
-—Did he really say Pence should quit the ticket? Those exact words? I don’t watch Sunday programs anymore so I didn’t see
That is an excellent observation. Where is the media on this? Are they just socialist first and journalists 10th?
Panetta just on with Martha Raddddiiisssshhh sitting in for steffy.Panetta always comes off as holier than though but he needs to be investigated in the opinion of many.A few blurbs on him fror the wiki stuff:
Leon Panetta was the CIA Director when Operation Zero Footprint was authorized and began, but he left the CIA about 4 months later (June 30th, 2011) and was replaced by General David Petraeus (August/Sept 2011).
[*Note* it is important to remember when the 2nd authorized CIA program began in 2012 for Syria Petraeus would have been included]
Under this principle you can see that General Petraeus had ZERO liability for the origin of the Benghazi weapons deals – it was a joint State Dept/CIA program already being conducted when Petraeus arrived. If it blew up, it was not his political problem – THIS MADE PETRAEUS A RISK.
We know that during the summer of 2012 “a whistleblower” popped up and gave House Republican Leader Eric Cantor a tip about CIA Director General Petraeus being in an extramarital affair with a reporter named Paula Broadwell; along with rumors Petraeus may have shared classified information with Broadwell during pillow talk etc.
We also know that Eric Cantor told AG Eric Holder and FBI director Robert Mueller about the claim and Mueller began an investigation of Petraeus in the Summer of 2012 before the Benghazi attack in September.
However, we also know that neither Holder nor Mueller (nor Cantor) informed anyone in congress this investigation of Petraeus was taking place. That investigation included Broadwell turning over her computer to the FBI in the same summer, and later a search of her home which did reveal confidential information supposedly leaked from Petraeus.
Sometime in October of 2012 Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had a conversation with Petraeus urging him to leave.
Immediately after the election of 2012 CIA Director David Petraeus resigned (Nov 9th) and interim CIA Director Mike Morrel took over. This is why Petraeus never testified to the Senate, and Morrel took his place.
General David Petraeus and Paula BroadwellLeon-Panetta-and-Michael-Morell-via-the-Secretary-of-Defense-Public-Domain
We also know this timely switch was beneficial to both the Clinton and Obama camps because Morrel was more politically connected to them than Petraeus.
Given the risks of exposure to both “Operation Zero Footprint”, and worse, the buy-back/redirection to Syria, it’s understandable the risk to Clinton that Petraeus carried. However, Petraeus was not of any risk himself; maybe Leon Panetta would be, but not Petraeus – who, it’s important to add, came from the Defense Department to the office of CIA.
Petraeus’s replacement, interim CIA Director Mike Morrel, and White House Communications Director Ben Rhodes, were the two men who constructed the infamous “Susan Rice” talking points.
After Morrel testified to congress about the CIA involvement around Benghazi, and the issues of terrorism vs. Islamic movie (happy squirrel chase) etc. Morrel was replaced at the CIA by John Brennan.
We know that both Hillary Clinton and CBS immediately hired Mike Morrel. CBS News President David Rhodes -who hired Morrel- is the brother of the White House’s Ben Rhodes; who Morrel coordinated the Clinton friendly, albeit controversial, talking points with.
While it may seem suspect to jump to conclusions, the fact that Eric Holder did not inform either Intelligence Committee of the FBI Petraeus investigation -which is generally standard procedure- lends plausible suspicion to an outline that the events were used as leverage to remove Petraeus; and all of the subsequent risk he represented.
If you accept that Petraeus’s knowledge of, but non-involvement in, “Operation Zero Footprint” represented a potential risk to Hillary and Obama; you’d have to admit that Mike Morrel was by far the more White House friendly person talking about the CIA involvement around the joint State Dept/CIA Benghazi objectives.
Also, it would be disingenuous to ignore the fact Morrel’s loyalty therein was rewarded financially.
Lastly, one of the more slippery people to pin down on the Benghazi attack, and subsequent issues, has been Leon Panetta. If you think about Panetta’s role in the origin of Operation Zero Footprint his comment avoidance makes perfect sense.
Trey Gowdy needs to subpoena Panetta for the Special Committee.
Too many, and counting, to list. It’s a lot!!!
Here is a possible answer to a lingering question how did Isis become viable or get its start:
Here is one take.

The Syrian opposition had three al-Qaida arms operating within it. Including one that also operated in Libya:
Jund al-Sham, which is made up of al-Qaida militants who are Syrian, Palestinian and Lebanese;
Jund al-Islam, which in recent years merged with Ansar al-Islam, an extremist group of Sunni Iraqis operating under the al-Qaida banner and operating in Yemen and Libya;
Jund Ansar al-Allah, an al-Qaida group based in Gaza linked to Palestinian camps in Lebanon and Syria.
It would be into this eclectic mix of Jihadist ideologues, which later became ISIL, that any diverted U.S. arms would flow.
It’s no wonder that Senator John McCain was so confused when he was calling them “moderates” in 2012/2013. Almost no-one knew the severe elements in Syria would rise to the surface and become the modern ISIS now capturing all of the global attention.
And…. If you just realized…. Yes, ISIS or ISIL currently on the march in Iraq, came from Syria, fought in Syria and more than likely was armed by the U.S. inside Syria and Turkey.
They were more likely trained, in Adana, a city in southern Turkey about 60 miles (100 km) from the Syrian border, which is also home to Incirlik, a U.S. air base where U.S. military and intelligence agencies maintain a substantial presence; by the same CIA operatives used by the State Dept to send Syria weapons from Benghazi and Darnah back in Libya.
If Operation Zero Footprint in Libya was stupid, arming the Syrian branches of al-Qaeda two years after the FSA was thoroughly corrupted by al-Qaeda, is infinite degrees beyond stupid.
But that’s hindsight for ya….. or as Secretary Clinton would say “Whether they were, … at this point, what difference does it make?”
........................
Beginnings of Isis?
Bump!
So you're going back to the inevitable argument?
It's plain as day. Trump is running her billion dollar campaign into the ground and as long as he can keep the physical and mental pressure on her and her handlers, they will break. Unless he ends up like Huey Long, he's going to win.
Hadn’t thought of this, but it certainly is a possibility.
Thanks for watching. I can’t anymore. It is unforgivable that a news anchor is so ignorant of economics and Trump’s tax plan. It is infuriating.
I will never. Ever watch FNC.
Trump doesn’t need to say anything yet about WI. What’s happening in WI speaks for itself.
Sure he can revisit it at the tail end of the the news cycle but why should he go throw gasoline on a barnfire.
Truth is they have a candidate who lies so much not even their side believes anything she says which may play into some stuff coming up later on.
In addition, if it ever gets talked about the country is a disaster with sociaslists in power.
We have:
1. Open borders with no solutions in site.
2. A president who has lied about everything that has ever happened and continues to lie.
3. An economy that has had 100 million workers stop looking for work.
4.Many people working part time with full time now considered 32 hours,no job security, no hope for a raise and falling wages.
5. Millions on welfare with the roles still growing
6. Losses in the Middle East continue to grow:Iraq,soon Afghanistan,Libya,Syria,Turkey in turmoil,Israel now turning to Russia,No one we can call an ally.
7.Disasterous Iranian policies creating a new Iran now flush with 150 billion bucks and 400 million in cash for terrorist traveling money. Iran creating terror throughout the region.
8. Our former allies now in question none of them taking zero seriously.
9. Our military in shambles. Planes flying on spare parts hijacked form other planes,navy the smallest ever,army in disarry. Many higher-ups fired in all services. Our readiness in question in a word:disaster.
10.Importing terrorsits from all parts of the world in the name of compassion.
I could go on but the prudent reader gets it for now.
If our side will put these issues out and show that hillary will be worse than what we have now we should get some traction.
Good post I think you are right as well.
