Donald Trump is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of 20 people, and to ask that each of those do likewise.
In three days, most people in the United States will have the message. This is clearly an amazing idea that must be passed around. Stand by for the push back from THE SWAMP
THE TRUMP RULE:
Let's see if congress understands what people pressure is all about.
Salary of retired US Presidents .. . . . . $180,000 FOR LIFE.
Salary of House/Senate members .. . . $174,000 FOR LIFE
This is stupid
Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE.
This is really stupid
Salary of Majority / Minority Leaders . . $193,400 FOR LIFE.
Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .$40,065
Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000
Here's where the cuts should be made!
Congressional Reform Act of 2017
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.
2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 3/1/17. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work.
TRUMP, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: "I could end the deficit in five minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election".
The 26th Amendment ( granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds ) took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.
Trump is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will only take three days for most people in the U.S. to receive the message. It's time!
The Real Donald Trump by Dana Loesch
How I Came To My Opinion On Donald Trump
I receive this question almost more than any other: Why don't you support Donald Trump? I've met the man, his camp asked me to introduce him at CPAC in 2015, he was perfectly amiable. He's been on my radio and TV programs more than any other primary candidate. I just can't get on board with his lack of consistency or his policies. So, to answer the question: A bulleted list of items that helped shape my opinion on the Republican primary candidate. All information is public domain as reported in the press, easily found everywhere online. You're certainly welcome to your own opinion, but this is what contributed to mine. As I give courtesy to diverse opinion on the topic, so do I expect it in return. Trump says he will "hire the best minds" as president but according to the news items below, apparently did not vet his own business partners.
Trump and Felix Sater:
Though he touts his outstanding memory, when Donald Trump was asked under oath about his dealings with a twice-convicted Russian émigré who served prison time and had documented mafia connections, the real estate mogul was at a loss.
Even though the man, Felix Sater, had played a role in a number of high-profile Trump-branded projects across the country.
Donald Trump has also been seeking to minimize his past business ties with Sater, the Russian émigré who appeared in photos with Trump, and carried a Trump Organization business card with the title “Senior Advisor to Donald Trump.”
After Sater's criminal history and past ties to organized crime came to light in 2007, Trump distanced himself from Sater.
Less than three years later, however, Trump tapped Sater for a business development role that came with the title of senior adviser to Donald Trump. Sater received Trump Organization business cards and was given an office within the Trump Organization's headquarters, on the same floor as Trump's own.
**Interestingly, Sater has a connection to Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Lynch aided Sater:
Lynch’s office appeared to have let self-professed criminals walk free in exchange for their cooperation, watched impassively as they committed further crimes, and intentionally kept the victims of those crimes in the dark — denying them their legal right to seek restitution.
In 2013, former federal judge Paul Cassell testified before the House Judiciary Committee, and encouraged them to look at how Lynch’s office had handled a stock fraud case. That case involved Felix Sater, a convicted fraudster with ties to the mafia. Utah senator Orrin Hatch, a Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked Lynch to respond to Cassell’s testimony. He also asked whether Lynch had complied with federal laws that ensure restitution is provided to crime victims.
More on Trump's deals from Wayne Barrett:
One associate who was an "unindicted co-conspirator" in a massive 2000 stock swindle—and escaped prison only by helping to convict 19 others, including six members of New York crime families
• Two associates who served prison time on cocaine charges
• Another partner prosecuted for trafficking underage girls after a dramatic helicopter raid on a yacht off the Turkish coast
• A pending lawsuit against Trump Soho that alleges daughter Ivanka, among others, made fraudulent misrepresentations
Barrett's experience with writing about Trump?
"While I was reporting that book in 1990, I was muscled out of Trump Castle and handcuffed overnight to a wall at the Atlantic City jail. I haven’t done much reporting about him since the book, but when his numbers shot to the top in recent presidential polls, I took another look and asked his office for an interview. His response was a letter threatening a libel suit. Trump did sue Tim O’Brien, who was a research assistant on my Trump book, when Tim wrote a sequel in 2005. Now the national editor of the Huffington Post, O’Brien finally prevailed after years of litigation. I obtained—and not from O’Brien—a copy of the two-day deposition Trump gave in that lawsuit. The December 2007 transcript is a road map of the dark paths Trump’s business career has taken in recent years."
Trump Soho, Trump Fort Lauderdale, Trump Las Olas, summary: Trump’s business partner on these projects is Bayrock Group, which is headquartered in Trump Tower. The partnership dates back to 2005. Felix Sater, whose father is a reputed Russian mob boss, is a top Bayrock executive. As the Daily Beast reported, in 2000 Felix was named an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a massive stock swindle “which resulted in19 guilty pleas and the conviction of six mobsters – including the nephew of Carmine “the Snake” Persico and the brother-in-law of Sammy “the Bull” Gravano.” The founding chairman of Bayrock is Tevfik Arif, who has reputed Russian organized crime ties. In 2010 he was charged in Turkey for smuggling underage girls into the country for prostitution. Another principal in the deal is Russian émigré Tamir Sapir, who also lives in Trump Tower. Sapir’s executive vice president and top aide, Fred Contini, pled guilty in 2004 to “participating in a racketeering conspiracy with the Gambino crime family for 13 years.”
As for the charges against Arif:
At an April hearing, a judge dismissed the charges against Arif, though four lesser-known businessmen directly implicated in bringing the girls aboard were convicted. A final report on the reasons for the dismissal has yet to be issued, though the fact that the women refused to testify, denied they were prostitutes, and immediately left Turkey did weaken the prosecution.
Info on Goldberg here (bold my emphasis):
What he would not say was how he knows Donald Trump, who his investors are, or who his family—whom he credits for getting him into the real estate business—is. This is probably because his family was named “Goldberger,” not Goldberg. Until 2003, when he still went by the name Raoul Goldberger, he was primarily known as an up-and-coming drug trafficker who had been busted after a yearlong federal investigation for attempting to ship tens of thousands of ecstasy pills from Belgium.
NY Post has an additional write-up.
Trump Tower Toronto, summary: Trump partner is Alex Shnaider, who heads up the Midland Group. Shnaider, a well-connected Russian with deep ties in Ukraine, is the son-in-law of Boris Birshtein, a business partner with Sergei Mikhailov, reputed leader of the notorious Solnsteva gang, a Russia-based crime syndicate.
Sergei Mikhailov, widely believed to be a leader of the powerful Solntsevo organized crime group, boasts on his website that Putin awarded him the prestigious timepiece on May 14.
As evidence of the accolade, Mikhailov has posted photographs of the watch, which is embossed with Russia's double-headed eagle and Putin's signature, with an accompanying certificate purportedly signed by the Russian president.
The Federalist has more on Trump's mob connections here:
Trump’s association and business dealings with known mafia figures was not limited to his Atlantic City projects. In New York City, several of his buildings were built by S&A Concrete Co., a concern partly owned by Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno, the boss of the Genovese crime family. In addition to this business relationship, Trump and Salerno were both represented by high-power attorney Roy Cohn. In his book, Barrett cites an anonymous source who confirms that on at least one occasion Trump and Salerno had a sit-down in Cohn’s apartment. Trump has denied this claim in the past.
Is it reasonable to assume that Trump had no idea that S&A was run by Salerno’s Genovese borgata when Trump’s own attorney was so closely linked to that organization? After all, if Trump (who likes to point out that he has “one of the highest IQs”) is as smart as he would have everyone believe, how could he have been so naive?
Additionally:
Another issue that needs to be addressed in Trump’s New York operations is the use of undocumented Polish workers to demolish the Bonwit Teller building, which made way for the Trump Tower. Only a handful of union workers from Housewreckers Local 95 were employed on the site, the vast majority were illegal Polish alien workers, toiling under inhumane conditions, and wildly underpaid. Trump and his associates were found guilty in 1991 of conspiring to avoid paying pension and welfare fund contributions.
Trump donated six figures to the Clinton Foundation.
While the tea party fought McConnell in Kentucky and tried to rally for Matt Bevin, Trump backed McConnell and every establishment GOP organization that sought to stamp out the conservative movement.
Trump donated more to Democrats than Republicans in the 2006 election cycle. More:
Overall in the 2006 election cycle, Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., donated $77,200 to Democrats versus only $24,250 on Republicans. Looking back to the 2004 cycle, the pair donated $40,500 to Democrats and only $17,250 to the GOP.
A large share of Trump’s donations to Democrats were given to congressional committees dedicated specifically to gaining majority control of Congress. And that they did. Democrats took control of both houses of Congress for the first time since 1994 by gaining 31 seats in the House and increasing the Democratic caucus in the Senate by six.
Records show that in June 2006, Trump donated $20,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. That was in addition to the $5,000 he sent in April 2005 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. At the same time, Trump Jr. gave the two Democratic committees a total of $22,500.
While the Trumps spent nearly $50,000 to elect congressional Democrats, they donated only $1,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRSC).
But perhaps the worst outcome that election for Republicans was that Pelosi and Reid became Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader, respectively. The pair made a formidable team and did heavy lifting to ensure that Obama was elected in 2008 and that much of his agenda — including Obamacare — was put in place.
Trump helped to pass Obamacare by donations.
Of Obamacare, Trump told Anderson Cooper (and has referenced this in previous debates): "I like the mandate." (VIDEO)
Trump donated heavily to the DCCC, DSCC, and Democrat heavyweights who brought us open borders, Obamacare, and tried to erode 2A rights. The DCCC is known for running Democrats in Republican primaries. Trump donated heavily to Chuck Schumer, Rahm Emanuel, Terry MacAuliffe, Dick Durbin, and Harry Reid
Trump advocated for amnesty during Gang of Eight while conservatives fought against it.
In 2013 he met with "DREAMer" activists, listened to their stories concerning illegal alien status and told them "You've convinced me." (More) He also reportedly told them:
“You know, the truth is I have a lot of illegals working for me in Miami,” he told them, using the term for undocumented immigrants those in the meeting found offensive. “You know in Miami, my golf course is tended by all these Hispanics — if it wasn’t for them my lawn wouldn’t be the lawn it is; it’s the best lawn,” Pacheco recalled Trump saying."
Trump is accused of financially threatening a woman during a secret deposition over his controversial and legally-mired Trump University, which has been called a "worthless scam."
Trump University collapsed in a blizzard of lawsuits in 2010, and in 2013 the New York attorney general sued Trump University for $40 million for allegedly defrauding students.
Trump lied about opposing the Iraq war during his truther-esque rant against Bush at the South Carolina primary debate. (AUDIO) (VIDEO) (MORE) (STILL MORE)
Trump said he doesn't agree with NRA on everything during an interview with Larry King:
KING: You agree with the NRA?
TRUMP: I don't agree entirely, but I do agree that you should have the power to have a weapon, because other people do and other people are not necessarily...
Trump not entirely consistent on 2A rights. I want to believe his evolution is sincere, but it's difficult as some of his remarks to the contrary are recent.
Trump came out weak this week on privacy rights. Many have said that the FBI's request would render everyone's iPhones vulnerable.
While Cruz took out a relatively modest loan against his assets in comparison to Trump, Trump is "owned by every bank on Wall Street." Note: Donald Trump is a Goldman Sachs shareholder:
As for Goldman Sachs, Trump is himself a shareholder in Goldman Sachs, which means he has a direct financial interest in its success. One would think that would make Trump even less enthusiastic about protecting me from Goldman Sachs (whatever that means) than Cruz would.
Trump is accused of "draft dodging." "Questions linger," says The Washington Post, about his deferments reportedly due to bone spurs in his heel, which, says NY Daily News, could have been treated.
Trump repeatedly defends Planned Parenthood and its public funding.
Circulated fake Coburn quote; camp continued even after Coburn condemned.
Tried to float conspiracy theory about a Saudi Prince and Fox; said Prince reminded Trump how he bailed him out.
Trump wants to be "neutral" on Israel and Palestine.
Supportive of eminent domain abuse.
Trump threatens frivilous, progressive lawfare over videos featuring his past remarks.
Trump expressed support for the health care mandate: "I like the mandate" at the CNN South Carolina candidate townhall. Trump's own health care proposal, says Washington Examiner, requires more government than Obamacare requires.
I just don't believe that the guy is a consistent conservative. And it's OK for me to believe that.
Now can we get back to fighting the left?

Donald Trump On The Cover Hustler July issue 2016... Buy Your Copy At Any 7/11 Store
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks with members of the media during a news conference Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2016, in Milford, N.H.
GOP 2016 Trump
The United States would have better relations with Russia and other nations — and that the country needed to stop "playing games."
With Russia, "We can use them to knock out ISIS with us so that maybe we don’t always have to pay for it," Trump said.
"Knock the hell out of them, but let them drop some of their bombs that cost $1 million apiece," he said, the Hill reports. Let them use some of their weapons that cost billions of dollars.
Evangelicals shouldn't buy Trump's clumsy Christianity
The ideal presidential candidate has God at the core of their
life and the Constitution at the center of their philosophy of
government.
That candidate is not Donald Trump.
Many conservatives, even some evangelical Christians, may not get it. That includes those at Liberty University on Jan. 18 who rocked the arena with applause when Trump spoke.
It's good that Liberty is inviting presidential candidates so that its predominately Christian voters can get to know them. Trump came happily to work his shtick on the "nice religious people" — as he put it — packing the Liberty University arena. Sadly, he gave an incoherent speech consisting mostly of tweets and seven-second sound bites that pandered to his audience while garbling true conservative principles — and perhaps even Christianity.
1 Timothy 3:6 gives solid advice about choosing leadership — the context refers to leaders in the church, but the principle is a good one for leadership at large: the candidate should be "Not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil."
Questions therefore arise: Is Donald Trump a "novice" Christian and a "novice" conservative? "Know those who labor among you," says 1 Thessalonians 5:12. Do evangelical and Catholic Christians, along with conservatives in general, really know Donald Trump?
When it comes to speaking the language of evangelical Christianity, Trump is like a first-semester foreign language student who tries to sound like he's spoken the new lingo all his life. Native speakers understand right away that such a person is a beginner and try not to laugh in his face.
Trump would do well to learn from Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and other candidates who speak evangelical Christianity with fluent ease because they really do have God deep in their lives, not just as a political facade.
In an attempt to patronize the religious crowd, Trump cited a scripture containing the word "liberty." There was a smattering of laughter when he cited "Two Corinthians 3:17" at the Bible-based school where most pronounce it "Second Corinthians."
"I believe that," Trump said of St. Paul's words in the text. Really? Was Trump saying he believed that Christ had come to free people from the enslavement to the law to try to please God by giving grace to all who would receive it? That's the meaning of the reference. But what did Trump mean? He didn't say. Whatever it is to him, "it's the whole ballgame."
Trump soared on to the heights of pandering. "If I'm president, you're going to see 'Merry Christmas' in department stores, believe me," he promised. How will he do that? Executive order?
What the audience at Liberty and American Christians everywhere need to hear from Trump is what God means in his own life. Cruz, Carson, Fiorina and Rubio have all done this in some of their appearances. Evangelicals call this a "testimony." It's a report of how a relationship with Jesus Christ has transformed the person's life.
I hope Donald Trump is a truly born-again, regenerate follower of Christ. However, the electorate — especially evangelicals — must decide if Trump is a preacher who has just found his political voice or a politician trying to sound like a preacher.
Christians and other conservatives flocking to Trump are like people with their eyes wide open but who see nothing. He constantly proclaims that, as president, "I will" do this or that. His adoring followers don't perceive that all those claims mean the enlargement — not the reduction — of government.
Trump is a populist progressive, like Teddy Roosevelt and Barack Obama. In the spirit of those two chief executives, Trump is running for dictator, not president. Some conservatives assert that they are constitutionalists but are weary of not getting results. However, many people who voted for Teddy Roosevelt because he could deliver found they didn't like what he delivered. Surely we have learned that in the Obama era.
The Roosevelt-Obama style of presidency eats the Constitution for breakfast, devours the Congress for lunch, and dines in the evening on the Judiciary. Energized, this Godzilla mauls Washington, smashing the walls that separate the Oval Office from the rest of government until the presidency is the whole, and the rest nothing more than an aggravating case of indigestion.
America does need the outcomes of a president who has God in their heart and the Constitution in their head. Trump may seem to be "saying it like it is," but there's too much unsaid or muddled to make him the ideal candidate for the presidency of the United States.
That candidate is not Donald Trump.

The performance was insulting to Christians everywhere. I wonder if the majority of the Liberty audience grasped that fact.1 Timothy 3:6 gives solid advice about choosing leadership — the context refers to leaders in the church, but the principle is a good one for leadership at large: the candidate should be "Not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil."

Trump is not running to be God, but the president of

Trump needs to first humble himself before God if he hasn't already.

The Latest Salvos in Cruz vs. Trump
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
I can't tell you how plainly (and multiple times) I made the point yesterday. It's silly to expect that Trump and Cruz aren't gonna be critical of each other. There's no bromance going on here. There's no united front where these two are not gonna criticize each other. That's not how this works, 'cause only one of them's gonna win. They both want to win. Criticism. Attacks. All of this is tactical and strategic. You plan it, you come out with the way -- or up with the ways -- you think will be most effective, and you target what you want to go after.
It's like I say, I think Cruz first started out by saying that Trump's not a genuine conservative, not a real conservative. And I think he's gonna give that up. My guess. I'm wild guessing. I haven't talked to anybody about it. I just think he's gonna end up going after Trump's populism. That's Trump's hook. That is Trump's appeal. This is what confounds the GOP. You know, they're sitting there thinking that conservatives in the Republican Party have all abandoned the party and have gone on over to Trump. That he isn't it. How many times do we have to say this?
The Trump coalition's made up a whole lot of people, not just conservatives. Twenty percent of it may be Democrat, and an increasing number just beyond that 20% may be Reagan blue-collar Democrat. Then you've got some Hispanics (unbelievably to people) and women. The demographics are all covered. The Republican Party's sitting there thinking that Trump's support base is all conservative, and it isn't. So that's why going after Trump as a legitimate conservative? I don't think that's gonna work because that's not his appeal.
Trump's not out there campaigning as a conservative. He's campaigning out there as a populist. He's campaigning out there as a guy who's fed up with whoever it is that's doing bad and making mistakes and ruining the country, whoever they happen to be and wherever they are. And his support base is made up of people who think, "Damn right! That's exactly what's happening." It's why I said yesterday, "You can have a lot of people who are not conservative supporting Trump's position on immigration and so forth. It's not uniquely a conservative position, opposition to amnesty."
So I think Cruz recognizes this. Even if he doesn't, even if he continues the attack on Trump is not a real conservative, that's what they decide to do. But the point is these things are gonna happen. There are going to be serious efforts to take the other guy out. It's politics. This is what happens. And the expectation these guys are joined at the hip here and united in purpose is a big mistake to make. That's not how this works. There was an indication that that was the way they were behaving, up until Trump lost the lead in Iowa to Cruz.
That just changed everything about how both decided to conduct their campaigns.
Trump is focusing on the fact that everybody hates Cruz. So people came out and said, "You're gonna lose some of the conservatives in your base if you go after Cruz that way, because they love Cruz." What does Trump do? He doubles down on how much nastier Cruz has become and how many, many more hate Cruz. He's not backing off from it at all, which ought to illustrate something else. And that's for all of you people out there waiting for somebody either in the media or in talk radio or somewhere to take Trump out or to take Cruz out or whatever.
You've gotta get off this idea that people out there -- voters -- are unable to think for themselves. Most people are not sitting around waiting for marching orders. Some, yeah. But most people, at least in this audience, they're intelligent. They are informed. They know what they think before they turn the radio on. They're not turning the radio on here to find out what to think. They have their opinion of Trump. They have their opinion of Cruz. If they get mad at me, it's may be I don't agree with them. It's not that I am somehow not being true to myself or whatever.
It's personal. I've always respected the audience, you in this audience as intelligent and informed. I certainly don't hold you in contempt. I certainly don't look down on you like the Democrat Party does, or like most of the Washington establishment. So, you know, I'm not under the illusion here that any candidate wins or loses based on me telling you he should win or lose. Now, admittedly there are some people influenced. I'm not gonna deny that, but it's by no means a majority. And the proof here is Trump. So Trump gets warned by powerful voices in the media.
What does he do?
He doubles down on it.
He doesn't back off.
Although the media thinks he has. I read a couple stories: "Trump stopped mentioned Cruz's name here ever since Limbaugh piped up!" Well, I don't know. Washington Times: "Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is stepping up his attacks on [Ted Cruz] declaring on Monday: 'Everybody hates Ted.' 'He's very unpopular in Washington,' Mr. Trump said on 'Fox and Friends. When you have somebody that can’t get along with anybody in Washington, you’re not going to get deals done,' Mr. Trump said. 'I mean, you have to get deals done -- we can't always keep invoking executive orders like Obama does, [because] he can't get deals.'"
No, that's not why he does it. That's not why Obama does executive orders. Well, he would love for the Congress to go along, but that's not why he does it. He does it because he's an Alinskyite. He's an authoritarian who has been on a mission to transform this country for seven years. He's got one year left. He's not doing this 'cause he can't make deals with anybody. He's not doing it because people won't cooperate. He's doing it because this is what he wants to see happen in and to the country. And to hell if people don't agree with him, even more so he's gonna do it on his own or find a way.
I was reading my tech blogs last night. I always do this as an escape. It's my hobby. I ran across a story that Trump is gonna make Apple stop making iPhones and iPads in China. "Yeah, we're gonna make Apple make their damn computers in America." And it was fascinating reading these little tech bloggers react to that. Most of them hate Trump because they think they should. Most of them chime in. I mean, you talk about a monolithic group of people. They're all journalists, for one thing. They all think Trump's a buffoon. They all think he's insane, a lunatic. They can't tell you why. They just think that he is.
So when Trump comes along and says he would make Apple manufacture products in the US, it totally escapes these guys that presidents don't have that kind of power. It totally escapes them that that's impossible. Trump cannot tell a company, he can't tell Nabisco where to make Oreos. He can't tell Ford where to make cars. He can't tell Apple where to make computers or phones.
Now, he can come up with tax proposals, tariffs, any kind of incentive he might want, but he can't order it like a king of America could. These guys actually started debating whether or not it'd be a good thing. (laughing) Maybe it would change their minds on supporting Trump 'cause wouldn't it be great if Apple were indeed making phones in America. Just totally escapes them. This is the danger. I mean, with Obama doing what he's doing, all these young acolytes of Obama think authoritarianism is great. Oh, yeah. If Obama was ordering Apple to make phones in America then they'd probably support that, too, but they don't get that these things are not -- And Trump knows it, too, if you read further in his comments, he lets it be known that he knows. It's the way he communicates. It's the way he sends the signal of what he thinks. He's decisive and he's not gonna take any guff.
Washington Post: "Why So Many Evangelicals Have Faith in Donald Trump." Meanwhile, everybody in the media is trying to make fun of Trump 'cause they think he botched the biblical scripture yesterday at Liberty University.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Ted Cruz, for his part, punching back at Donald Trump.
"Ted Cruz is continuing to throw punches at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, telling reporters in New Hampshire on Monday that Trump is different than President Ronald Reagan, but also adding that he won’t engage in attacks on the campaign trail. 'Donald did an interview where he described that he thinks that he’s bigger than Ronald Reagan -- I think the American people will make that determination,' Cruz reportedly told reporters while campaigning in New Hampshire on Monday.
"Cruz challenged: I would note that Ronald Reagan spent decades as a principled conservative, spent decades traveling the country sharing his conservative, free-market views [and] defending the Constitution. Ronald Reagan did not spend the first 60 years of his life supporting Democratic politicians, advocating for big government politics, supporting things like the big bank bailouts, supporting things like expanding Obamacare to turn it into socialized medicine.
'That’s not what Ronald Reagan did,' Cruz stated. 'Ronald Reagan was a voice of consistency, and I’m pretty sure that Ronald Reagan didn’t write checks and support Democratic politicians like Andrew Cuomo, like Anthony Weiner, like Hillary Clinton. I’m pretty sure Ronald Reagan didn’t write a huge check to Rahm Emanuel in December of 2010 after the big Tea Party wave.'" Which is all true. But the point that Cruz goes on to make is he says he thinks that Trump is rattled for the first time. He thinks that that Trump is very, very dismayed.
This is the message that Cruz is putting out, that Trump has had an unsurmountable lead for 95% of this campaign, that the presumed front-runner, Jeb Bush, hasn't been able to get higher than 6%. Trump's always been, depending on the poll, 28 to 35, 38, maybe 40 in one poll, until Ted Cruz came along and started getting serious, creeping up on the Iowa caucuses. And then all of a sudden Cruz's point is Trump does not know how to deal with this adversity. He's dismayed, he is rattled, and it's forcing him to say some dumb and crazy, stupid things. This is the attack mode of Ted Cruz.
I mean, he mowed him down, or tried to, or immigration. Cruz going after the issue that put Trump on the map. He says, "I like Donald Trump. I respect him personally. And in this campaign he's talked a lot about illegal immigration and amnesty." Cruz goes on to describe how he was fighting this fight in the recent past, last two, three, four years, whenever the votes came up, it was Ted Cruz and some allies that were at war every day succeeding in stopping the Barack Obama and Republican-Democrat coalition and implementing amnesty. He goes on to talk about how many years, how hard everybody fought, how he was leading the fight, and then he wraps it by saying, "And during all this time, Donald Trump was nowhere to be found."
So his contrast is himself, a guy who's put everything on the line, who has been in the ring, gloves on and off, trying to stop amnesty. Trump comes along, announces his campaign, says that he's gonna build a wall, immigration is it, and Cruz's point is, yeah, okay, fine, I welcome him to the fight, but the fight's three or four years old here in the modern era, and he wasn't there during any of that.
So that's the way Cruz is going after this. You can see here it's getting, some might call it brutal. I just think it's politics. You people have forgotten -- and it's understandable -- South Carolina in 2000. McCain is still fuming over some of the things, some of the innuendo that he thinks the Bush camp put out there about illegitimate kids and affairs. He's still fuming about it. I mean, this is the way it happens. And to expect -- I don't know if it's part of the way education has been going the last 10, 15 years, and those kids get out of school, they become young adults now, conflict resolution 101 or whatever, and they, "Don't criticize people like this. This makes me nervous. I don't like the shouting, oh no!"
And for those of you who are reacting this, this is nothing. This campaign hasn't even gotten up to medium heat yet, compared to where this is headed. You just have to sit back and listen.

TRUMP IS NOT A FLIP FLOPPER AND NEVER HAS BEEN! He Is A Real Commander In Chief!
There is a difference between gaining new information and making a better decision versus changing your mind on stances. Trump is a key player on a world scale because he accesses new information daily and can promptly access and adjust his position to best achieve the goal.
Imagine if you will … a military general who has a strategic battle plan set forth by his commander in chief. Imagine that invading forces just doubled their troops and went toward one of your chief strongholds. The general advises the commander in chief of the new circumstances. Do you want a commander in chief who will stick to a now failed plan because after all, he just announced that is what he planned to do? Or do you want a commander in chief who (although just announced they were doing plan A) has the wisdom to move to plan B?
Moving to plan B is actually staying on course to win. Not going to plan B is losing big. Watching Obama continue to try and arm moderate ISIS to kill terrorist ISIS and topple Assad in Syria while Russia, China, Iraq, Iran and France move in to support Assad in Syria and destroy all the terrorists (for there are no such thing as moderate jihadists) is one good example of sticking with plan A and losing big time. But, if plan A is to topple nations and create strife and chaos to usher in a new world order of governance, sticking to it is the only way it makes sense. It is what it is.
I want a commander in chief that is for America and respects other nations. I want a commander that does not manufacture a crisis, nor lies that false events have taken place in order to create more crisis. I want a commander in chief that can not be bought nor enter into establishment wars. I want a commander in chief with a strategy that conquers the real enemy and is smart enough to do so. That is why my vote is for Trump.
Aren’t you all tired of the lies? Aren’t you tired of being told we are fighting ISIS, by the same regime creating the entire mess? The regime that is training, financing, supplying and orchestrating gun running, and terrorism on your tax dollar and lying about what they are doing and have done? Why do you think they had to lie to the public? It is because they knew the public would never approve of regime toppling and mass murder to any segment of humanity, especially sovereign nations.
So as more is revealed as to the true nature of what has been done, it is important to have a commander in chief who can act soundly and make the right decisions to end the war strategies that have created world chaos. The last thing the world needs are more puppets who work the bidding of great merchants of the earth.
There is only one who is not bought and paid for…that one is Trump.

Megyn Kelly Sick and Tired of Media Endless Donald Trump Coverage The Kelly File - Megyn Kelly On Donald Trump's comments On Facebook
Megyn Kelly leaving Fox News for NBC
The New York Times broke the story Tuesday, reporting Kelly will take on "a broad new role at NBC News for an undisclosed amount."
Kelly joined Fox News 12 years ago.
In a press release sent by Andrew Lack, Chairman of the NBCUniversal News Group, Kelly signed a multi-year agreement with the network.
“Megyn is an exceptional journalist and news anchor, who has had an extraordinary career” Lack said.
“She’s demonstrated tremendous skill and poise, and we’re lucky to have her.”The NY Times reports Kelly will host her own daytime news show, anchor an in-depth Sunday night show, and assist in "big-event" coverage including political programming.
Her contract with Fox News ends this summer.
The press release praised Kelly for her work delivering top ratings, "while maintaining a uniquely strong connection with her viewers and an important voice on social media."
"Since 2013, Kelly has anchored FOX News Channel's (FNC) The Kelly File, which she helped to create. The Kelly File is consistently the number one news program in overall viewers on cable news and first among the critical 25-54 demo audience. It is also the number two show in all of cable news. She joined FNC in 2004 as a Washington-based correspondent."
Reports stated Kelly was offered more than $20 million to stay with Fox News.
She is among the highest paid TV journalists.
Trump Should Apologize to Megyn Kelly
(AP)
Tuesday, 25 Aug 2015 02:06 PM
A peace recently brokered between Fox News Channel and Donald Trump has been shattered.
The network's chief executive is taking umbrage with a new volley of
insults hurled by the Republican presidential candidate at its star
anchor, Megyn Kelly, after the two sides had agreed to maintain a
respectful relationship.
Kelly returned to the air last night after taking a scheduled summer vacation. Trump used the occasion to critique her performance.
Fox News is not letting it stand.
"Donald Trump's surprise and unprovoked attack on Megyn Kelly during her show last night is as unacceptable as it is disturbing. Megyn Kelly represents the very best of American journalism and all of us at Fox News Channel reject the crude and irresponsible attempts to suggest otherwise," said Roger Ailes, chairman and chief executive of Fox News, in a statement released Tuesday.
"I could not be more proud of Megyn for her professionalism and class in the face of all of Mr. Trump's verbal assaults. Her questioning of Mr. Trump at the debate was tough but fair, and I fully support her as she continues to ask the probing and challenging questions that all presidential candidates may find difficult to answer.
"Donald Trump rarely apologizes, although in this case, he should. We have never been deterred by politicians or anyone else attacking us for doing our job, much less allowed ourselves to be bullied by anyone and we're certainly not going to start now. All of our journalists will continue to report in the fair and balanced way that has made Fox News Channel the number one news network in the industry."
In a statement to Newsmax, Trump responded: "I totally disagree with the Fox statement.
"I do not think Megyn Kelly is a quality journalist," he said. "I think her questioning of me, despite all of the polls saying I won the debate, was very unfair.
"Hopefully in the future, I will be proven wrong and she will be able to elevate her standards to a level of professionalism that a network such as Fox deserves.
"More importantly, I am very pleased to see the latest polls from Public Policy Polling showing me at a strong number one with 35 percent in New Hampshire, the Monmouth University poll showing me, again at number one, with 30 percent in South Carolina and the latest national poll from Gravis, where I am again the clear front runner with 40 percent, " Trump continued. "It was also just announced that I won the prestigious corn kernel poll at the Iowa State Fair by a landslide."
Trump also noted that he would speaking Tuesday night in Iowa, "with my speech being broadcast live on CNN and other networks.
"My sole focus in running for the presidency is to make America great again!"
The two sides had been at odds in the wake of Fox News' broadcast of an Aug. 6 debate among Republican candidates for U.S. President.
During the debate, Megyn Kelly asked Trump if some of the remarks he has made about women in the past might dampen his appeal. Afterwards, Trump made no secret of his dissatisfaction with the line of questioning, proceeding to make some remarks about Kelly that many found offensive.
But Ailes and Trump came to a truce, and Kelly went on a vacation and the matter seemed largely resolved. Trump's remarks today suggest that is no longer the case.
The war of words takes place as Rupert Murdoch, who oversees 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News, recently took to Twitter to suggest Michael Bloomberg, the former Mayor of New York and another billionaire, run for president.
At least 10 fellow Fox News hosts have fired back on social media, including Bret Baier, who co-moderated the first GOP debate with Kelly and Chris Wallace.

Donald Trump's lying and cheating about immigration
Donald Trump is simply not a serious candidate for president.
This is manifested by his parroting Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions on the vaunted Trump immigration plan Trump recently released. Sessions comes from Alabama, and he reflects the long-standing low information view of the modern integrated world best represented by former Gov. George Wallace, the racist official who stood at the door of the University of Alabama 50 years ago chanting, “Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” Then he stood aside while U.S. Army troops integrated the university.
On the subject of Mexicans, Sessions is today’s George Wallace.
Trump played the hate-Mexicans plank of his campaign in his original announcement on June 16. Without mentioning “illegal aliens” he declared that Mexico was sending its worst people here illegally to avoid paying for them and their transgressions. He stated simply “Mexicans” with the qualification that “some Mexicans” were “nice people.”
Trump has tried to mollify his hate-Mexicans words with declarations that he loves the Mexican people and Mexico. Rumors abound that his 30-year-old daughter, Ivanka, tried to counsel him to lay off, but he continues and stamps his campaign with a 1,900-word position paper that smacks of Alabama’s historical Ku Klux Klan.
Some Americans agree with him; some don’t.
Here's a simple-minded statement from Trump's proposal: “U.S. taxpayers have been asked to pick up hundreds of billions in health-care costs, housing costs, education costs, welfare costs, etc. Indeed, the annual cost of free tax credits alone paid to illegal immigrants quadrupled to $4.2 billion in 2011. The effects on job-seekers have also been disastrous, and black Americans have been particularly harmed.”
Now the facts: "Illegals" are not eligible for any of the programs he claims drain the U.S. Treasury. As for tax fraud, far more is committed by U.S. citizens than ever imagined by people in the country illegally. Blacks have been unemployed in far greater numbers than whites since 1865 – not because of Mexicans coming to work in the U.S.
Trump: “The impact in terms of crime has been tragic. In recent weeks, the headlines have been covered with cases of criminals who crossed our border illegally only to go on to commit horrific crimes against Americans. Most recently, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, with a long arrest record, is charged with breaking into a 64 year-old women’s home, crushing her skull and eye sockets with a hammer, raping her and murdering her. The police chief in Santa Maria says the 'blood trail' leads straight to Washington.”
Partially true, but did the crime occur because the perpetrator was here illegally? Are the thousands of black murder victims killed by fellow blacks, being that they are black, victim or perpetrator? That is Trump logic.
Trump: “In 2011, the Government Accountability Office found that there were a shocking 3 million arrests attached to the incarcerated alien population, including tens of thousands of violent beatings, rapes and murders.”
Partially true but hiding a horrific lie: Many of these arrestees were charged with multiple counts, like spitting on the street, driving without a license or being intoxicated. And how many of those arrested were actually convicted of the crimes they were charged with?
If there had been three million “convictions,” more than the 6 percent – the actual figure – of all "illegals" would be in prison. And most of them (85 percent) because of crimes having to do with property, drug offenses and immigration violations, not crimes of violence that Trump lies about.
Trump: “Meanwhile, Mexico continues to make billions on not only our bad trade deals but also relies heavily on the billions of dollars in remittances sent from illegal immigrants in the United States back to Mexico ($22 billion in 2013 alone).”
False and foolish. There are no bad trade deals with Mexico. There is the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that in 21 years has produced millions of jobs in the U.S., while there might be a loss of a fraction of those millions of jobs over the same 21 years.
The Wilson Center says 6 million Americans work in trade with Mexico. Mexico is the largest trading partner with Texas (400,000 jobs) as it is with California (690,000 jobs). The U.S. Chamber of Commerce's estimate is even higher: They say there are 14 million Americans working in trade with Mexico.
As far as remittances, aren’t they dollars earned in the marketplace, and after taxes and Social Security have been deducted? We know that Trump favors confiscation of private property (he supports the Supreme Court's controversial decision about the eminent domain Kelo v. City of New London case), but now he hints that he would confiscate money earned on the job by Mexicans. Theft, thievery – is that what Trump lives by?
In this first analysis installment of the Trump immigration plan we find that he lies about crime, states that he would steal millions of dollars from working people, violate the rights of “persons” that the Supreme Court has said are entitled to the same rights as Americans – “equal protection” and “due process.”

Trumpy Slams Evangelical Christians in Playboy
Christians Cringe at Donald Trump’s Sexy Past
Trump’s numbers with Evangelicals are up—but not all of them are singing his praises
Trumpy interview By Playboy WOW
Evangelical Christians, at the moment, are totally enamored with a
candidate who has profited off strip clubs, cheated on his wife, and
appeared on the cover of the nation’s pre-eminent porn magazine.
And to top it off, Jerry Falwell Jr.—the heir of the Moral Majority mantle—just endorsed him.
There’s plenty of explanations for conservative Christians’ Trump-lovin’ ways, and recent polling shows he’s these voters’ favorite (a new NBC poll shows him with the most support of white Evangelical Republican voters, 37 percent).
But this trend has many Evangelical leaders irate, perplexed, and hankering for some below-the-belt attacks on Trump. The time for policy analysis is over, they say—now it’s about to get Biblical, Falwell be damned.
Minutes after The Washington Post broke news of the Liberty University president’s endorsement, Russell Moore, a powerful Southern Baptist leader, subtweeted Falwell with a link to the Southern Baptist Convention’s 1998 “Resolution on Moral Character of Public Officials.”
“[W]e urge all Americans to embrace and act on the conviction that character does count in public office, and to elect those officials and candidates who, although imperfect, demonstrate consistent honesty, moral purity and the highest character,” the statement reads.
Some Evangelical leaders hope Trump’s moral character will get a little more attention in the coming days. When it comes to the mogul, there’s a ton of material to work with—and attacks like these have worked before. Allegations of sexual harassment tanked Herman Cain’s insurgent-style campaign, and a scurrilous (and untrue) whisper campaign about an affair likely played a role in John McCain’s loss to George W. Bush in 2000. The fact that Ronald Reagan got divorced even once gave many conservative primary voters pause when he first telegraphed his presidential ambitions. And to this day, most Republican presidential contenders act like caucus-goers are voting for the winner of a Bible verse memorization contest.
So far, Trump’s top foes have largely steered clear of attacking him based on his sexcapades and scandals. Even while he and Rubio lob birther-esque attacks at Ted Cruz for being born in Canada, Trump has evaded any hard-hitting criticism for his multiple marriages, casino ownership, and appearance on the cover of Playboy magazine.
A series of tweets from Sen. Ben Sasse, a freshman Republican from Nebraska, may suggest that the days of giving Trump a pass over his New York-values personal life are over.
And to top it off, Jerry Falwell Jr.—the heir of the Moral Majority mantle—just endorsed him.
There’s plenty of explanations for conservative Christians’ Trump-lovin’ ways, and recent polling shows he’s these voters’ favorite (a new NBC poll shows him with the most support of white Evangelical Republican voters, 37 percent).
But this trend has many Evangelical leaders irate, perplexed, and hankering for some below-the-belt attacks on Trump. The time for policy analysis is over, they say—now it’s about to get Biblical, Falwell be damned.
Minutes after The Washington Post broke news of the Liberty University president’s endorsement, Russell Moore, a powerful Southern Baptist leader, subtweeted Falwell with a link to the Southern Baptist Convention’s 1998 “Resolution on Moral Character of Public Officials.”
“[W]e urge all Americans to embrace and act on the conviction that character does count in public office, and to elect those officials and candidates who, although imperfect, demonstrate consistent honesty, moral purity and the highest character,” the statement reads.
Some Evangelical leaders hope Trump’s moral character will get a little more attention in the coming days. When it comes to the mogul, there’s a ton of material to work with—and attacks like these have worked before. Allegations of sexual harassment tanked Herman Cain’s insurgent-style campaign, and a scurrilous (and untrue) whisper campaign about an affair likely played a role in John McCain’s loss to George W. Bush in 2000. The fact that Ronald Reagan got divorced even once gave many conservative primary voters pause when he first telegraphed his presidential ambitions. And to this day, most Republican presidential contenders act like caucus-goers are voting for the winner of a Bible verse memorization contest.

Donald Trump Charged with Racketeering in “University” Two class action racketeering lawsuits and a lawsuit by the New York Attorney General have been filed against Donald Trump for swindling student-victims out of upwards of $35,000 each through their enrollment in his fictitious institution, Trump University.
The supreme court of New York ruled earlier that Trump University, now renamed Trump Entrepreneur Initiative, LLC, is liable for its violation of state education laws in its illegally calling the program a “university” without the appropriate licensure or accreditation and for allegedly defrauding students of $40 million.
“University” was “ivy league quality”
The two pending class action lawsuits make the same allegations against Trump. The first case is Makaeff v. Trump University, LLC in which the plaintiff representing the class charged that Trump University engaged in racketeering activity causing her to hand over thousands of dollars for enrollment in Trump University.
A parallel class action, Cohen v. Trump, was filed by another former “student-victim,” Art Cohen, who, according to his complaint, paid more than $35,000 after receiving a “special invitation to Trump University from Donald Trump” to attend a three-day event to learn Donald Trump’s “real estate secrets.”
Using a $6 million advertising campaign, Trump University was marketed to a database of more than one million potential students, including many senior citizens, as an “ivy league quality” university. The sales pitch claimed that Donald Trump was so “integrally involved” that student-victims would have an opportunity similar to his TV show “The Apprentice,” effectively gaining real estate secrets from Trump and his handpicked “faculty of professors and adjunct professors.”
However, Trump has already admitted in court that:
His involvement was “completely absent.”
He did not participate in events, teaching, content of the program.
He did “not even know if students received a degree.”
Playbook Detailing Scheme
Donald Trump created his University as a scheme to make millions of dollars by promoting the misconception that it was a “real university with a real admissions process” that would not accept everyone who applies, according to the complaints. In marketing materials for Trump University, Trump claims to have “hand-picked” instructors — but they were actually “independently contracted high-pressure salesmen” paid on commission.
The plaintiffs charge that after being lured to a Trump University free event, students continued to be upsold various packages and products, all promising to give access to Trump’s real estate secrets. The packages started $495 and were constantly upsold with other products and packages to more than $70,000.
According to the plaintiff’s claim, the “instructors” were provided marketing guidelines, a “Playbook” script and standardized slides depicting an upsell scheme that the salesmen were contractually bound to follow.
The Playbook “armed [salesman] with objections and rebuttals” for hesitant student-victims and were also taught to “work the room with special attention to team members in possession of a credit card that needs to be run.” At the live events put on by Trump University, student-victims would fill out detailed financial goal statements for their personal goals, yet Trump University used the statements to decide who had liquid assets they could pursue.
Racketeering
Although Trump did not select the “faculty” or the “curriculum,” according to the complaint, he started Trump University and provided the initial operating capital, keeping a 93 percent ownership stake.
Trump University violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) by conducting “an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity” through acts of mail and wire fraud, according to the plaintiff’s class certification motion.
According to the class actions, Trump and his University met the elements required under RICO of his “(1) conduct (2) of an enterprise (3) through a pattern (4) of racketeering activity” causing harm to the plaintiff’s business or property.
Mail and wire fraud are the racketeering activity referenced in the class action suit. The elements required to be proven by the plaintiff are as follows:
That Trump had a scheme to defraud.
That Trump acted with the intent to defraud.
That the statements or facts made or omitted were material misrepresentations capable of influencing the plaintiffs to part with their money or property.
That Trump used mails or wires in furtherance of the scheme.
Interstate Mail and Wire Fraud
When the New York State Education Department (NYSED) informed Trump in 2005 that it was illegal to use the name “university” without a license, Trump did not change the name, but instead opened a sham office in Delaware, which was used as the address on all marketing material, but maintained his main place of operation at the original New York location.
The use of mail or wires in furthering the scheme was done through a $6 million annual “highly orchestrated” national advertising campaign. The promotional materials contained Trumps image, quotes, and signature in online videos, mass mailings of letters and personal invitations to free events.
Email blasts were consistently sent to over one million current and prospective students. The marketing campaign was used, misrepresenting Trump’s “integral involvement” to lure student-victims to the Free events, where they would be upsold enrollment products with the potential of costing $70,000, according to the complaint.
Trump attempts at procedural defenses
Trump admitted in court that his involvement in Trump University was “completely absent” other than his marketing and scheme involvement. His defense in fraudulently taking “tens of millions” of dollars in this scheme is to blame the actual student-victims. In the class action lawsuit, Trump’s defense rested on the following arguments:
Cohen and the class failed to prove his mail and wire fraud acts caused the alleged injury,
Cohen failed to provide any evidence of actual harm.
That there were a “number of intervening circumstances” severing the direct link between the alleged racketeering acts and the claim of injury.
The claims are barred by the statute of limitations.
