In a new Washington ABC Poll, President Obama’s approval has risen to an impressive 51%. Impressive, considering the nature of his opposition – people who have no problem making up stuff about him and his policies just to keep his numbers down.
The movement in his ratings — which we would emphasize has not yet been verified in other public polls — has been slight on a month-to-month basis. But his ratings have moved in a positive direction in two consecutive Post-ABC surveys. In May and July, Obama’s ratings were more negative than positive, with 45 percent to 46 percent approving and 50 percent disapproving of his performance. That tipped the other way in September, to 49 percent approval and 46 percent disapproval. And that slight shift has continued in the latest survey.
They say the boy who fights the girl the most is the one head over heels in love with you. If that is true, Donald Trump is in deep for Megyn Kelly.
Since the first Republican debate where Kelly asked some very appropriate questions about previous Trump statements about other women, Trump has made it his personal duty to attack the Fox News host every chance he gets, with everything he has. At one point, his attacks became so intense, Kelly was forced to take an unscheduled vacation.
Trump’s most recent attack came today, telling his followers to boycott Kelly’s show.
Donald Trump is currently leading in all the Republican polls and any other presidential candidate that attacks him get their 15 minutes in the spotlight. George Pataki – another Republican running for president although you probably didn’t know it – is looking for his 15 minutes, so here we go with his attack!
In an interview on MSNBC, the former Republican governor of New York was asked about Donald Trump’s attacks on George Bush. Pataki, on three different occasions call Trump’s attacks “nonsense,” and added that Trump “is not fit to be president of the United States”
Donald Trump is like an 8th grade schoolyard bully spewing nonsense. ‘I would have stopped September 11th if I was president. I’ll beat China. I’ll make Mexico build and pay for a wall.’ This is all complete nonsense. And more than that, you wonder why all of a sudden he’s going after Bush when it was Clinton, the Clintons who have been in power for 8 years before September 11th.
Expect Pataki to get hit by Trump’s Twitter account in 3,2,1…
Yes, I know what the usual argument is – guns don’t shoot or kill people, people shoot and kill other people. But in this situation the gun owner was simply sitting in the movie theater watching a movie when all of a sudden, BANG! He got shot with his own gun.
“It took a while after the bang, but this guy started shouting ‘Oh my God, I just shot myself! I just got my concealed and carry,’” Myers said, “and then everybody jumped up and that’s when we heard, ‘Call 9-11!’”
“You could feel the concussion of the shot,” said witness Domenic Rabone. “I mean you know being in a movie theatre it’s a surreal situation, and I don’t believe anybody really expects it to be a gunshot.”
“As soon as it registered and I realized it was a gun, it scared me,” said Myers.
Police treated the situation as a medical emergency as opposed to a live shooter scenario. No one else in the theater was hurt.
Former NYC Mayor and staunch Republican Rudy Giuliani, attacked Hillary Clinton in a radio interview with John Catsimatidis (AM 970) today, saying that the former Secretary of State “got away with murder” in the Democratic Debate and further saying that the debate “was like a love-fest.”
Giuliani claimed that “Bernie Sanders virtually applauded Hillary for destroying her emails,” and stated that he has “a list of 13 criminal statutes that Hillary allegedly violated with her conduct,” referencing Hillary’s decision to use a personal server for her emails when she was Secretary of State. Maybe he couldn’t get that list to Anderson Cooper in time for the debate.
Did you know that Republicans are fixated Hillary’s emails… and Benghazi!?!
Must use taxpayer’s dollars to conduct phony investigations into Clinton. Must.Pull.Her.Poll.Numbers.Down!
The 3-year-old was pronounced dead at the hospital.
According to CBS News, the older boy retrieved the gun from atop the refrigerator Saturday night and a game of “Cops and Robbers” began with his 3-year-old brother and the loaded gun. Shortly after, the bullet struck the infant in the face, killing him.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says their father Michael Santiago told investigators that he was a former gang member and felt he needed the gun to protect his family.
Santiago is now facing felony charges for the death of his 3-year-old son.
I’ll start this post off saying, guns do kill people!
This incident happened in Illinois last Monday. A knife wielding maniac burst into a room where a 76-year-old was teaching about 20 kids the art of playing Chess.
“I’m going to kill some people” the man, 19-year-old Dustin Brown screamed. In his hands, he brandished two hunting knives.
The 76-year-old Chess teacher, identified as Army Vet James Vernon of Morton, calmed the situation enough to get the children out of the classroom and subdued the 19-year-old until police arrived.
“Settle down a little, relax a little bit,” Vernon said. “I’ll listen to you while these people, these kids get out of the room.”
Recalling the incident, Vernon said that things escalated when the kids had left the room.
“Realized his targets where gone and he came without warning,” said Vernon.
Vernon says Brown lunged at him with the knives, cutting his left hand.
“I didn’t have any weapons except these, so I grabbed him and threw a knee at him and my weight pushed him back,” said Vernon.
Vernon says he was able to take down and disarm his attacker just minutes before Morton police arrived.
Yes, blood was shed that day. Vernon was attacked and cut by the 19-year-old, but no one died thanks to the fact that guns were not a part of the equation.
I’ll end this post by saying, guns do kill people! The NRA and Republicans say otherwise.
In his Sunday interview with Jeb Bush, CNN’s Jake Tapper asked the questions every sensible American wonders about. In other words, Jake Tapper acted like a real reporter and asked real questions of Jeb, who is consistent about one thing – the false claim that his brother kept us safe on September 11th.
In the lead up to Jeb’s introduction to the program, Tapper mentioned the criticisms Donald Trump has hauled against George Bush in reference to his failure on September 11th. Tapper asked Jeb to respond to Trump’s accusations.
“My brother responded to a crisis and united the country, he organized our country and he kept us safe. And there’s no denying that. And the great majority of Americans believe that. And I don’t know why he keeps bringing this up.”
Maybe because September 11th happened on your brother’s watch. But back to the interview.
Tapper then asked Jeb if he is being bias on the issue because George Bush is his brother.
“Does anybody actually blame my brother for the attacks on 9/11? If they do, they’re totally marginalized in our society. It’s what he did afterwards that mattered, and I’m proud of him. And so are a bunch of other people.”
“Obviously al Qaeda was responsible for the terrorist attacks of 9/11,” the CNN host pressed. “But how do you respond to critics who ask if your brother and his administration bear no responsibility at all, how do you then make the jump that President Obama and Secretary Clinton are responsible for what happened at Benghazi?”
Bush stammered in response: “Well, I — the question on Benghazi, which we will now finally get the truth to, is was the place secure? They had a responsibility at the Department of State to have proper security.”
“And how was the response in the aftermath of the attack?” he continued. “Was there a chance that these four American lives could have been saved? That’s what the investigation is about, it’s not a political issue… Were we doing the job of protecting our embassies and our consulates, and during the period, those hours after the attacks started, could they have been saved?”
“That’s kind of proving the point of the critics,” Tapper noted. “You don’t want you brother to bear responsibility for 9/11 — and I understand that argument and al Qaeda is responsible — but why are the terrorists not the ones that are responsible for these attacks in Libya?”
“They are!” Bush replied. “But if the ambassador was asking for additional security and they didn’t get it, that’s a proper point. And if it’s proven that the security was adequate compared to other embassies, then fine, we’ll move on.”
So Mittens decided to go on CNN and had some choice words to say about the batch of misfits running for the Republican nomination. Romney also gleefully conveyed the message that he is “glad” he is not a part of the 2016 Republican crowd.
And when asked if he would vote for Donald Trump, Romney replied, “I would vote for the nominee of the Republican party and I don’t believe that’s going to be Donald Trump.”
Naturally, Donald Trump took offence and he has a Twitter account with some followers capable of retweeting everything the donald says. Trump took to twitter and blasted Mitt Romney for his CNN remarks.
Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders Fundraiser Rally at The Avalon, Los Angeles, America - 14 Oct 2015

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday that he thought Larry David, who impersonated him on “Saturday Night Live” Oct. 17, did better than he does.
David appeared on NBC’s late night comedy show and performed in a sketch that mocked the Democratic debate.
Sanders commented on the performance Sunday at the end of his appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”
“I think we’ll use Larry on our next rally,” Sanders said. “He does better than I do.”
Larry David was classic as Bernie Sanders. I couldn’t ask for anyone better. I pretty sure there is no one better. The hand movements, the mannerisms, the voice, Larry David had it. And being the man behind Seinfeld’s success, David followed that same Seinfeld method and talked about things that made no sense whatsoever, like when he explained why he should be president.
“Who do you want as president? One of these Washington insiders or a guy who has one pair of clean underwear that he dries on a radiator?”
