Poll – Ben Carson Leads Donald Trump in Iowa

Donald Trump has been knocked off his pedestal in Iowa, as the crazy talk from Ben Carson is paying him huge benefits in the early voting state.

B

en Carson has knocked Donald Trump from his perch atop the field in Iowa, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll of Iowa Republicans.

Carson has opened up an 8 percentage point lead over Trump with the help of women and white evangelicals, who overwhelmingly favor the soft-spoken former neurosurgeon over the outspoken billionaire. About 28% of likely caucusgoers said they support Carson, 20% back Trump, 13% support Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and 10% are for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

The survey is the first major poll to find Trump trailing by a significant margin nationally or in the four early states since a CNN national poll taken June 26-28, which showed Trump behind Florida Gov. Jeb Bush 12% to 19%.

Report – The Average Gun Owner Owns 8 Guns

When the current leader in the Republican presidential nomination field campaigns and tells his audience that Obama is coming to get their guns, then naturally, those misguided folks run to the gun store to get more guns. So this new report stating that the average gun owner has 8 guns, is not surprising.

There are nearly twice as many guns in the average gun-owning household today as there were 20 years ago, according to new Wonkblog estimates based data from surveys and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. In 2013, there were an estimated 8.1 firearms in the typical gun-owning household, according to these data. In 1994, the average gun-owning household owned 4.2 guns.

These numbers comport with what survey research has shown for several years now: the share of gun-owning households has been declining over the past 20 years and possibly more, according to numbers from Gallup and the General Social Survey. On the other hand, domestic firearm production and imports of firearms have risen sharply, particularly in recent years. If those numbers are correct, it follows that increasing gun purchases are being driven primarily by existing owners stocking up rather than first-time buyers.

Now gun owners stocking up on guns is nothing new, but campaign lies from the likes of Donald Trump that the government was on its way to take your gun plays on the emotions of the few, and gun stores stay happy.

Democrats to GOP – Reimburse All Tax Payer’s Dollars Spent on Benghazi Committee

I’ll second that notion. I want my money back! I did not sanction this and the politics behind this committee stink!

In a letter sent to the Republican National Committee (RNC), Democratic leaders are demanding a reimbursement for the over $4.7 million already spent on the political witch-hunt called The Benghazi Special Committee.

“We write today to demand that the Republican National Committee reimburse the federal taxpayer for the costs incurred by the Select Committee on Benghazi. Over the past several weeks, several House Republicans have made clear what many observers have suspected all along: that the Select Committee has conducted a political inquisition aimed at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.”

The letter continued;

“Due to the political nature of the committee, we believe it is inappropriate that a reported 4.7 million taxpayer dollars were used to finance its operations and that the RNC subsequently orchestrated numerous fundraising opportunities in its wake.”

Joe Biden Will Not Run for President in 2016

Why should you have known Biden would decide not to run for President? Well because just days ago, Ed Henry, a Fox News reporter said his sources have confirmed that Joe Biden will run. And as history has shown, Fox News employees are usually wrong on the issues.

Vice President Joe Biden ended months of intense speculation about his political future on Wednesday by announcing he wouldn’t bseek the presidency, abandoning a dream he’s harbored for decades and putting Hillary Clinton in a stronger position to capture the Democratic nomination.

With his wife, Jill, and President Barack Obama at his side in the White House Rose Garden, Biden said the period of grieving his family has endured after the death of his son Beau meant that the window for a successful campaign “has closed.”

Still, Biden positioned himself as a defender of the Obama legacy and made clear he views himself as the best possible successor to the President. In tone, the remarks sounded like the kind of speech defending staunch Democratic values that he might have given had he reached the opposite conclusion.

“While I will not be a candidate, I will not be silent,” he said in a speech that highlighted Democratic themes on income inequality along with a call for a national movement to cure cancer. “I intend to speak out clearly and forcefully, to influence as much as I can where we stand as a party and where we need to go as a nation

“47 Percent” of Republicans Say Trump will Win It All

Ask Donald Trump about his policy on any issue, be it foreign or domestic, and you’ll get the same answer – when I’m the president, everything will be great! Everyone will be rich!

Well that’s the only answer some Republicans need to stamp Trump their candidate in 2016. Details about his policies are apparently not that important for these voters.

A new poll finds thatTrump leads Carson and the rest of the field on key attributes in addition to being seen as the most likely to win it all.

Approximately 47 percent said he is the best leader, while a plurality of 32 percent gave him the upper hand on the issues over Carson, at 19 percent.

He is also seen as the strongest candidate on immigration, with 39 percent backing him in that regard, and 29 percent said he understands people like them, leading the field over Carson’s 19 percent.

Meanwhile, a larger share of voters saw Carson as honest (33 percent to Trump’s 21 percent) and having a better personality (24 percent to 19 percent). At the same time, Bush leads the field in terms of the candidate voters felt is most experienced for the job, with 31 percent to Trump’s 23 percent.

Trump Backtracks from ‘Obama Coming for Your Guns’ Claim

Most of what Trump says is completely nonsense. But it is his nature to double and triple down on said nonsense when someone points out how wrong he is.

Except in this case.

On Monday, speaking to a group of supporters looking for their daily dose of red meat, Donald Trump offered them this nugget to feast on – Trump told them that President Obama “is thinking” about signing and executive order to take away their guns.

“You know, the President is thinking about signing an executive order where he wants to take your guns away. You hear about this? Not gonna happen. That won’t happen. But that’s a tough one, I think that’s a tough one for him to do. There’s plenty of executive orders being signed, you know that. And we can’t let that go on.”

Besides the fact that Trump is not a mind reader, doesn’t have a crystal ball and thus, cannot know what the president is thinking, Trump’s followers got their red meat and went away happy, filled with even more reasons to hate the President.

But someone in the media asked Trump to explain his sources. How the heck would he know what the president is thinking?

Then it hit him. Trump realized he was caught and tried to weasel his way out of the issue, telling the media that he probably heard about Obama’s thinking from the media itself. And he even called the media “good sources,” something Republicans are trained not to do.

Speaking on CNN, Trump answered the question about his sources this way;

“No, no. I’ve heard that he wants to. And I heard it, I think, on your network. Somebody said that that’s what he’s thinking about. I didn’t say that he’s signing it. I said I think that would be a tough one to sign actually. I would say it would be impossible. But nevertheless he was thinking about it. And I’ve heard it from numerous networks. And I’ve read it in the papers. You know. My source is the papers. So, you know, they’re pretty good sources.”

Meanwhile, as the red meat festers in their stomach, his base is sure to stockpile their weapons, waiting for the eventual war with Obama when he comes knocking.

Paul Ryan Lays Out his Demands Before Accepting House Speaker Position – Video

All indications now point to Paul Ryan accepting the Republican hated job of Speaker of the House of Representatives. Earlier on Tuesday, Ryan held a meeting with the other Republican members of the House and laid out his demands – things he say must happen before he accepts the job.

The Demands

Ryan will run only if he’s supported by three groups inside the House Republican conference: the House Freedom Caucus, the Republican Study Committee and the moderate Tuesday Group, his spokesman, Brendan Buck, said.

Ryan also had a few more demands: He wants changes to House rules made as a team — a major demand of the House Freedom Caucus; he wants to make it harder to overthrow a sitting speaker; and he wants a better work-life balance than out-going House Speaker John Boehner had.

He also emphasized the importance of unified support for the next speaker.

Ryan told his colleagues he is willing to take “arrows in the chest but not in the back,” a GOP source inside the meeting told CNN.

Should the conference agree to his stipulations, “I am happy and willing to get to work.”

Larry Wilmore on Jeb! – “Your head can’t contain the bullsh*t your mouth is spewing”

Another Comedy Central original. This guy is starting to remind me of Jon Stewart.

On his Monday night show, Comedy Central’s Wilmore analyzed the body language of Jeb Bush, as he conducted his Sunday interview on CNN. In that interview, Jeb continued his insane claim that George Bush “kept us safe” when he occupied the White House.

Wilmore showed part of Jeb’s interview and picked up on something. As Jeb spoke, his head kept shaking as if his mouth was saying one thing, but his head was disagreeing with what he was saying. And Wilmore asked;

“Why are you shaking your head the entire time you answer this question? It’s almost like your head can’t contain the bullshit your mouth is spewing.

“I’m not saying Jeb Bush doesn’t believe what he’s saying. I’m saying his body doesn’t. That’s why his mouth can’t help but stammer when he says bullshit like this.”

“She was a precious little girl, she made everybody laugh — she was the kind of kid in class everybody loved,” said Ann Arnold, principal of Sara Ragsdale Elementary School in Georgia. “Our hearts are just broke. We’ve got a lot of tears going on, of course. We’re in shock right now.”

According to reports her mother was braiding the little girl’s hair when a gun fell on the floor and discharged, hitting the mother in the leg and shooting the little girl in the head. Little Sharia Lynch, 8 years old, died on the spot.

But I know, I know. “Guns don’t kill people, People kill people,” right?

Man Arrested – Charged with Having Sex with a Tractor

I’ll let that marinate for a second… You ready? Okay, let’s continue.

Ralph Bishop, 53, was found by police with his trousers around his ankles “interfering” with a tractor parked in a field outside Saxmundham.

He was arrested on suspicion of outraging public decency, and admitted to having had sex with around 450 tractors all over the Suffolk countryside.

When officers searched his terraced home they found a collection of more than 5,000 tractor images on his laptop.

The photos showed Bishop had a special desire for John Deere and Massey Ferguson tractors, particularly green ones.

A police insider said: “We couldn’t believe it when we found him in the field. He was wearing a white t-shirt and Wellington boots and very little else. He was clearly in state of high excitement at the rear of the machine.

“Thankfully nobody else was around, but the field is close to a village primary school so we had to arrest him and educate him about the error of his ways.

“He told us he was particularly ‘in to’ axle grease and the presence of this around the back of tractors was all too much for him.”

Bishop, twice divorced, was released without charge on condition he sought psychological help. He was put on the sex-offenders’ register.

“He is also banned from the countryside and is now not allowed to go within one mile of a farm,” the police insider added. “So he has to live and remain in the middle of Ipswich to comply with that.

“However, we are watching him because we are worried about the safety of several street-cleaning machines.”

Another policeman added: “He’ll also need to keep away from the town’s gardens – if he takes a fancy to a lawn mower he might find he loses more than just his liberty.”
