Donald Trump Offers “Apology” for His Crude Statements About Women – Video

There’s an old Biblical proverb that proved to be true many, many times, and the unbelievable revelation from Donald Trump’s statements about women is no exception. That Biblical proverb says – for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks – Luke 6:45

Donald Trump has a storied history of womanizing and disrespecting members of the opposite sex. So this video of him talking about how he wanted to “fuck” a married woman and how he gets away with grabbing women “by the pussy” because of his fame, came as no surprise to many. But on Friday when the audio from his 2005 convo with Bill went public, there were a lot of shocked people out there, as if they thought better of Donald Trump!

Donald Trump felt the need to offer a statement, something his campaign called “an apology.”

“I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologize.

No Donald, you say what’s in your heart!

Amazingly, the people who are still pledging their support to Donald Trump are so-called, Christian “ministers.” Pastor Darrell Scott said he doesn’t condone Trump’s comments, but will not condemn Donald Trump for making those comments because he didn’t have the spiritual guidance back in 2005 when Trump made his statements.

Amazing!

Another Donald Trump Executive Arrested for Beating Up a Woman

The mother of two was on the receiving end of some unwelcome aggression from another Donald Trump executive.

The executive who helps run Donald Trump’s hotel chain was arrested for attacking a young mother outside his ritzy downtown Brooklyn condo.

Nathan Crisp was charged with misdemeanor assault for repeatedly slamming a 27-year-old mother of two against the sidewalk during a clash outside his doorman building on Gold St. on Easter Sunday.

Victim Sheneik McCallum claims she pulled over outside the Avalon Fort Greene condo tower to make sure one of her infants was secured into a baby seat when Crisp yelled at her to get off private property.

Yea, you’ve heard and seen the video of Trump’s campaign manager assaulting a reporter. This story isn’t about that situation, it’s about another one of Trump’s

After the two continued to quarrel, Crisp, 34, allegedly blocked the young mom’s car with his own vehicle and attacked her, according to community advocate Tony Herbert. He threw her to the ground twice, according to cops.

Crisp was taken into custody shortly after the attack and given a desk appearance ticket, according to police. He is due to answer the misdemeanor charges in court on May 2.

Michael Savage on Donald Trump – “he’s already made America greater.” – Audio

Michael Savage is so in love with Donald Trump, he’s even having dreams  about the 2016 Republican presidential  candidate.

While explain one of those dreams to his radio audience, Savage admitted that Trump is “getting into my subconscious.” He then said that Trump has made him more proud of himself, because now he can finally say “‘I worked hard, I achieved success, and I’m proud of it.’ I don’t have to hide it when he’s around in my mind. He’s already elevated the psyche of America, he’s already made America greater.”

Savage then gave Trump an assist in attacking Fox’s Megyn Kelly, calling her a “blondie” and “Marsha Washington,” saying that her debate questions helped Trump among women voters — “even black women” — because “they don’t like women putting men down. Most women in America are dying for a man, they are dying for a man to stand up, and I got to tell you something, he seems to be the only man in the campaign.”

Donald Trump – Megyn Kelly “should really be apologizing to me” – Video

You might have heard that Donald Trump was involved in a Republican debate last week. And yes, questions were asked at the debate as is normal. But the donald is trying to set a new standard. He wants to dictate what questions are asked and if the questions do not pass his smell test, then he wants an apology for wasting his time.

Megyn Kelly of Fox News has been on the receiving end of the donald and all the venom the donald is capable of spitting. Her apparent mistake was asking the donald about past sexist remarks he has made. You might have heard that donald is running for president of the United States and is presently leading in a crowded Republican field.

Well Megyn’s questions didn’t fall on Trump’s good side and he chastised her greatly for using the debate to question him. Even calling her a “bimbo” and suggesting that her menstrual cycle was responsible for her questions.

But Trump is not stopping there. He now wants Megyn Kelly to apologize to him for asking a “stupid” and “unfair” question.. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Trump had the nerve to not only appear on the show, but also to utter these words – “She should really be apologizing to me, you want to know the truth. And other candidates have said that.”

I think this is an experiment in politics, something no one has ever tried before. Donald Trump is trying to see just how far he can go before Republicans in his party revolt and kick him to the curb. The only problem is this Republican party has an unusual high tolerance for ignorance and bias, so instead of the revolt, Donald Trump might find himself gaining more favors among the Republican voters, as has been the case since he began his experiment months ago!

Caught In The Act – This Rapist is Beaten by The Victim’s Acquaintance – PIC

If I had to ask this sick nut a question, I would want to know if it was really worth it.

He looks like an extra on The Walking Dead!

A man accused of sexually assaulting a victim Thursday was beaten by an acquaintance of the victim before the police even arrived.

William Mattson’s mugshot clearly shows the result of what happened to him early Thursday morning before officers with the Conway Police Department came to the scene around 12:57 a.m.

Police found the mangled Mattson, 52, at the Highway 905 residence with the victim claiming the sexual assault.

Investigators stopped short of saying who exactly beat Mattson, but said the person was “acting in defense for the victim.”

Mattson was then arrested and taken to the J. Reuben Long Detention Center.

Scott Brown Now In Favor of Women’s Contraception

Scott Brown is just another Republican in the long list of Republicans going back on their former positions to win an election.

In a debate on Monday, the former Massachusetts senator said that he always supported a woman’s choice and access to contraception. This is a new position of course, because Scott Brown is one of the co-sponsors of a legislation that blocks women’s access to the same thing he now says he always supported.

“To think that I don’t support women’s rights and ability to get contraception is just a false premise,” Brown said during the debate against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). “I have since I was 18 years old.”

Talking Points Memo points out that the legislation Scott Walker previously sponsored, gave employers the right to take away contraception access from employees based on that employer’s belief.

But that was then and this is now. And according to Scott Walker’s new position, that legislation he recently co-sponsored happened before he turned 18.

A Republican Poll Found Republicans are “Intolerant” To Women

They really needed a poll to figure this out? Anyone following the news lately can see all the special accommodations Republicans are making to ensure that women be subjected to men, in the kitchen, barefoot and unrelentingly pregnant… all the time.

But, a Republican poll was conducted and this is what it found.

A detailed report commissioned by two major Republican groups — including one backed by Karl Rove — paints a dismal picture for Republicans, concluding female voters view the party as “intolerant,” “lacking in compassion” and “stuck in the past.”

Women are “barely receptive” to Republicans’ policies, and the party does “especially poorly” with women in the Northeast and Midwest, according to an internal Crossroads GPS and American Action Network report obtained by POLITICO. It was presented to a small number of senior aides this month on Capitol Hill, according to multiple sources involved.

The report — “Republicans and Women Voters: Huge Challenges, Real Opportunities” — was the product of eight focus groups across the country and a poll of 800 registered female voters this summer. The large-scale project was a major undertaking for the GOP groups.

“The gender gap is hardly a new phenomenon, but nevertheless it’s important for conservatives to identify what policies best engage women, and our project found multiple opportunities,” said Dan Conston, a spokesman for the American Action Network. “It’s no surprise that conservatives have more work to do with women.”

The War in Women is Real – Senate Republicans Uphold Hobby Lobby Decision – Video

Did you know? Tuesday, Republicans shot down a Senate effort to reverse the effects of the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision, the decision that gave religious rights to corporations, allowing them to deny contraception coverage to women.

Like most news in Washington these days, this Senate Republican blockage went practically unnoticed. Our news media is more interested in covering the dumbest factions of the Republican Party, then they are covering actual news. Like when Elizabeth Warren stood up and slammed the Republicans for continuing their war on women, that is something that should be talked about.

“I’ll be honest,” Warren said on the Senate floor. “I cannot believe we are even having a debate about whether employers can deny women access to birth control. Guys, this is 2014, not 1914. Most Americans thought this was settled long, long ago. But for some reason, Republicans keep dragging us back here over and over and over again.”

Warren called the Hobby Lobby case “just the most recent battle in an all-out Republican assault on women’s access to basic health care” and said while she found the Supreme Court ruling “stunning,” it was not entirely “surprising.”

“Giant corporations and their right-wing allies fight every day in Congress to protect their own privileges and to bend the laws to benefit themselves. They devote enormous resources to the task,” Warren said. “Sometimes, we beat them anyway.”

But while the Senate voted 56 to 43 to continue debate on the proposed bill — with three Republicans joining Democrats on the majority side — it did not reach the 60 vote threshold never to move forward.

We Need A War On War

If the Greatest Generation fought and won World War II and created a new world where a war like that one was far less thinkable, then the Baby Boomers must be the Double Secret Greatest Generation for fighting multiple wars on multiple fronts.

We fought the War on Poverty. Haven’t won that one yet. We’re currently fighting the War on Terrorism, the War on Women, the Climate War, the War on Christmas (how will we know if we’ve won that one?) and other, lesser wars on education, entitlements, health care, obesity (seem to be winning this one), the minimum wage, voter ID laws, sabermetrics and a few others that I’m sure others believe us to be waging.

What we really need, though, is a War on War. That one would be worth fighting, albeit delicately. Because obviously we couldn’t’ be fighting an actual war while fighting a war to end wars. So don’t look for the United States to enter Syria, Iran, North Korea or even Nigeria with a force ready to end hostilities or to slap some people in the face, grab them by the shoulders and yell, “What the heck are you thinking?” (I would volunteer for this kind of duty. I do outrage really well.)

The War on War has to start with every individual and every media outlet in the country. It requires a sustained effort on the part of every citizen and we need to teach it to our youth. It would be an idealistic campaign, but sometimes those are the most successful ones. Besides, we can’t afford to lose this one.

This Republican Representative Wants Rape to be Legal

Another head scratcher. These are the people in today’s Republican party.

So if rapers are the ones Representative Lawrence and advocates for, why would non rapers vote for this man. Why would anyone vote Republican anyway?

Democrats called for state Rep. Lawrence Lockman’s resignation after blogger Mike Tipping chronicled Lockman’s public stateme resignation nts since the 1980s in a blog post Tuesday.

Among other declarations and protestations concerning the IRS, HIV/AIDS and homosexuality, Lockman, then president of the Pro-Life Education Association, said in a letter sent in 1990 that he didn’t see why rape shouldn’t be acceptable if abortion is legal.

“If a woman has [the right to an abortion], why shouldn’t a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman?” Lockman wrote. “At least the rapist’s pursuit of sexual freedom doesn’t [in most cases] result in anyone’s death.”

Lockman released a statement Wednesday in which he said he regrets his comments.

This GOP Hypocrite is Against Contraception – Made It Mandatory For Women in His State

I cannot figure out why this blowhard would thrust himself even more into the spotlight when he knows his closet is filled with skeletons.

Yes, I could be talking about any Republican official in this post. Go ahead, name one of them and I will tell you about their particular closet. This post however, is dedicated to none other than blowhard Mike Huckabee.

We all remember about a week ago when Huckabee felt the need, no, the urge to make a speech about the Republicans’ war on women, including his explanation of “Uncle Sugar”, women’s libido and of course, contraception? His entire speech was quite controversial, I’m sure you remembered it. Well as fate would have it, this same Huckabee guy – an outspoken opponent of women’s health especially where providing contraception is concerned – provided mandatory contraception to the women of Arkansas when he was governor.

Huffington Post described Huckabee’s change in position as an “epic flip-flop,” noting that Huckabee defended his view at the time, saying that “Religious employers are not required to comply with this policy. My position is, and always has been, that religious entities shouldn’t be forced to pay for contraception.”

Abortifacients were exempted in the Arkansas legislation, the Arkansas Times noted, but the law appears even more comprehensive than the ACA, mandating coverage under health policies issued by institutions with religious affiliations if they don’t exist primarily for that purpose and don’t primarily employ people of that religion, a standard most religiously-affiliated hospitals and schools do not meet.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Smacks Down Newt Gingrich on War On Women

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s (R) awkward attempt to link Vice President Joe Biden to the GOP’s policies against womens’ reproductive health was smacked down hard by Democratic National Committee chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) on Tuesday.

“Democrats like to complain about a Republican ‘war on women,’” Gingrich said on Crossfire, before mentioning Biden’s visit to a Japanese e-commerce company, DeNA, in which Biden asked a group of women working there if their husbands “like them working full-time,” if they were married, and if they were allowed to work from home.

“How do you explain Biden’s inability to stay in touch with reality?” Gingrich asked Wasserman Schultz, who expressed amazement that Gingrich would link the “war on women” term with Biden, the author of the Violence Against Women Act, which was been staunchly opposed by Republicans even after passing in the House in February 2013.

“Your party spent two years holding back on bringing the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act to the floor,” Wasserman Schultz responded. “Your party has nominated, consistently, the likes of [Pennsylvania Gov. Tom] Corbett in Pennsylvania, who famously said, ‘Well, if women don’t want to have an ultrasound when they have an abortion, they can just close their eyes.’”

Schultz also pointed out that another Republican, Virginia Attorney General nominee Mark Obenshain, introduced legislation four years ago that would have required pregnant women to report a miscarriage to authorities.

“If you want to talk about the war on women — and that’s just a couple of examples –” Schultz said, before getting cut off by Gingrich.

“I understand your version of reality,” Gingrich shot back, before being interrupted himself by co-host Stephanie Cutter.

“That’s not a version of reality, Newt,” Cutter chimed in. “Those are facts.”
