“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.”

Church Drummer Killed by Police as he Waited for Help on Highway

 

It was early Sunday morning when his car broke down at the side of the highway. As he waited for help to arrive, he was shot and killed by a police officer.

For this story let’s go back to Florida.

Just hours before the fateful encounter, 31 year old Corey Jones – a well known Church drummer in Florida – had just wrapped up a gig with his band, Future Prezidents, and was on l-95 heading home to Boynton Beach when his car broke down. Corey never made it home, as  his life was permanently interrupted by Palm Beach Gardens officer, Nouman Raja.

Raja claimed that he stopped to investigate the car at the side of the road when he was confronted by an “armed subject.” Of course, Corey’s side will never be told.

“As the officer exited his vehicle, he was suddenly confronted by an armed subject,” Officer Ellen Lovejoy wrote in the release on Monday. “As a result of the confrontation, the officer discharged his firearm,” resulting in Jones’ death.

Police haven’t specified what type of weapon Jones had. And additional details about what led to the shooting haven’t been disclosed, pending an investigation.

The whole incident has left Jones’ family demanding answers.

“He was sitting on the side of the road and got shot,” said Jones’ uncle, Sylvester Banks Jr., of Clearwater. “We didn’t find out about it until about 12 hours later.”

Raja has been placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy. He has been with the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department since April, after working with the Atlantis Police Department, state records show.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting

Obama Approval Numbers On Steady Rise Again

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.

Donald Trump Wants a Boycott of Megyn Kelly’s Show

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.

George Pataki – Donald Trump “like an 8th grade schoolyard bully spewing nonsense” – Video

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…

Gun Shoots Owner in Movie Theater

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.

Rudy Giuliani – “Hillary Clinton Got Away with Murder” – Audio

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!
