Jeb hit between eyes with sensational allegations

Just as the Bush family is about to put on a full-court press to save the failing presidential candidacy of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Nixon confidant Roger Stone and co-author Saint John Hunt, son of Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt, have published an exposé titled "Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family: The Inside Story of an American Dynasty."
"Virtually every one of Jeb's failed business enterprises is a carried interest in which he put up no cash but used his family name and connections to secure loans, financing, waivers, or other financially significant benefits," Stone and Hunt write. "No less than five of Bush's former partners in these endeavors are in jail."
With Jeb Bush recruiting his family's assistance in the South Carolina primary, Stone seeks to make his new book every bit as relevant as the one he published last October with Robert Morrow, "The Clintons' War on Women," which spotlighted Bill Clinton's history as a serial sexual predator and his wife's role in covering up for him and attacking the victims.
The new Bush family expose follows in the tradition of Kevin Phillips' 2004 bestseller, "American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush," and Russ Baker's 2009 book, "Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces that Put It in the What House, and What Their Influence Means for America."
Stone and Hunt trace the family history back to patriarch Prescott Bush, father of George H. W. Bush, presenting evidence of the role Prescott Bush played in financing the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

Roo! Nice to see you! No offense... maybe some mild shock seeing you back after an extended absence. I trust all is well in your life... as for the forum... the postings speak for themselves Hope you stick around for awhile, you've been missed.

BTW, feel free to give PP some grief! Lord knows he needs as much as he can get

[Roo]

I didn't mean to offend. Really. After all, Obama is a Muslim so what's the difference

[Roo]

Why America insists upon a leader who believes that a man who lived in present day Israel 2000 years ago was God himself is entirely beyond me. I'd like someone smarter than that personally.

New Cruz ad hits Trump's character, accuses him of 'sleaze'

(CNN)Ted Cruz will launch his most forceful attack yet against Donald Trump in a TV ad that accuses Trump of buying political influence "in a pattern of sleaze stretching back decades."
The 60-second spot, shared first with CNN, is part of a six-figure ad buy that will hit voters' TV screens across South Carolina starting as early as Thursday. It centers around Vera Coking, an elderly widow who faced the threat of losing her home in Atlantic City when the city tried to seize it through eminent domain — in order to allow Trump to build a casino parking lot.
"Vera Coking's home was all she had left but it stood in Donald Trump's way and the limousine parking lot he wanted for his casino," the narrator says. "To him, she was a nobody."

The ad flashes to an October 16 Washington Post article about Trump's ties to the mob in Atlantic City, and slams the real estate mogul for having "bankrolled politicians to steamroll the little guy -- a pattern of sleaze stretching back decades."

Who is Donald Trump [interesting read]
blogspot.com ^

"Who is Donald Trump?" The better question may be, "What is Donald Trump?" The answer? A giant middle finger from average Americans to the political and media establishment?
Some Trump supporters are like the 60s white girls who dated black guys just to annoy their parents. But most Trump supporters have simply had it with the Demo-socialists and the "Republicans In Name Only." They know there isn't a dime's worth of difference between Hillary Rodham and Jeb Bush, and only a few cents worth between Rodham and the other GOP candidates.
Ben Carson is not an "establishment" candidate, but the Clinton machine would pulverize Carson; and the somewhat rebellious Ted Cruz will (justifiably so) be tied up with natural born citizen lawsuits (as might Marco Rubio). The Trump supporters figure they may as well have some fun tossing Molotov cocktails at Wall Street and Georgetown while they watch the nation collapse. Besides - lightning might strike, Trump might get elected, and he might actually fix a few things. Stranger things have happened (the nation elected an[islamo-]Marxist in 2008 and Bruce Jenner now wears designer dresses.)
Millions of conservatives are justifiably furious. They gave the Republicans control of the House in 2010 and control of the Senate in 2014, and have seI'ven them govern no differently than Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Yet those same voters are supposed to trust the GOP in 2016? Why?
Trump did not come from out of nowhere. His candidacy was created by the last six years of Republican failures.
No reasonable person can believe that any of the establishment candidates [dems or reps] will slash federal spending, rein in the Federal Reserve, cut burdensome business regulations, reform the tax code, or eliminate useless federal departments (the Departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development, Energy, etc.). Even Ronald Reagan was unable to eliminate the Department of Education. (Of course, getting shot at tends to make a person less of a risk-taker.) No reasonable person can believe that any of the nation's major problems will be solved by Rodham, Bush, and the other dishers of donkey fazoo now eagerly eating corn in Iowa and pancakes in New Hampshire. [Article is dated 1/31/16.]
Many Americans, and especially Trump supporters, have had it with:
- Anyone named Bush
- Anyone named Clinton
- Anyone who's held political office
- Political correctness
- Illegal immigration
- Massive unemployment
- Phony "official" unemployment and inflation figures
- Welfare waste and fraud
- People faking disabilities to go on the dole
- VA waiting lists
- TSA airport groping
- ObamaCare
- The Federal Reserve's money-printing schemes
- Wall Street crooks like Jon Corzine
- Michelle Obama's vacations
- Michelle Obama's food police
- Barack Obama's golf
- Barack Obama's arrogant and condescending lectures
- Barack Obama's criticism/hatred of America
- Valerie Jarrett
- "Holiday trees"
- Hollywood hypocrites
- Global warming nonsense
- Cop killers
- Gun confiscation threats
- Stagnant wages
- Boys in girls' bathrooms
- Whiny, spoiled college students who can't even place the Civil War in the correct century...
and that's just the short list.
Trump supporters believe that no Democrat wants to address these issues, and that few Republicans have the courage to address these issues. They certainly know that none of the establishment candidates are better than barely listening to them, and Trump is their way of saying, "Screw you, Hillary Rodham Rove Bush!" The more the talking head political pundits insult the Trump supporters, the more supporters he gains. (The only pundits who seem to understand what is going on are Democrats Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell and Republican John LeBoutillier. All the others argue that the voters will eventually "come to their senses" and support an establishment candidate.)
But America does not need a tune-up at the same old garage. It needs a new engine installed by experts - and neither Rodham nor Bush are mechanics with the skills or experience to install it. Hillary Rodham is not a mechanic; she merely manages a garage her philandering husband abandoned. Jeb Bush is not a mechanic; he merely inherited a garage. Granted, Trump is also not a mechanic, but he knows where to find the best ones to work in his garage. He won't hire his brother-in-law or someone to whom he owes a favor; he will hire someone who lives and breathes cars.
"How dare they revolt!" the "elites" are bellowing. Well, the citizens are daring to revolt, and the RINOs had better get used to it. "But Trump will hand the election to Clinton!" That is what the Karl Rove-types want people to believe, just as the leftist media eagerly shoved "Maverick" McCain down GOP throats in 2008 - knowing he would lose to Obama. But even if Trump loses and Rodham wins, she would not be dramatically different than Bush or most of his fellow candidates. They would be nothing more than caretakers, not working to restore America's greatness but merely presiding over the collapse of a massively in-debt nation. A nation can perhaps survive open borders; a nation can perhaps survive a generous welfare system. But no nation can survive both - and there is little evidence that the establishment candidates of either party understand that. The United States cannot forever continue on the path it is on. At some point it will be destroyed by its debt.
Yes, Trump speaks like a bull wander[ing] through a china shop, but the truth is that the borders do need to be sealed; we cannot afford to feed, house, and clothe 200,000 Syrian immigrants for decades (even if we get inordinately lucky and none of them are ISIS infiltrators or Syed Farook wannabes); the world is at war with radical Islamists; all the world's glaciers are not melting; and Rosie O'Donnell is a fat pig.
Is Trump the perfect candidate? Of course not. Neither was Ronald Reagan. But unless we close our borders and restrict immigration, all the other issues are irrelevant. One terrorist blowing up a bridge or a tunnel could kill thousands. One jihadist poisoning a city's water supply could kill tens of thousands. One electromagnetic pulse attack from a single Iranian nuclear device could kill tens of millions. Faced with those possibilities, most Americans probably don't care that Trump relied on eminent domain to grab up a final quarter acre of property for a hotel, or that he boils the blood of the Muslim Brotherhood thugs running the Council on American-Islamic Relations. While Attorney General Loretta Lynch's greatest fear is someone giving a Muslim a dirty look, most Americans are more worried about being gunned down at a shopping mall by a crazed [islamic] lunatic who treats his prayer mat better than his three wives and who thinks 72 virgins are waiting for him in paradise.
The establishment is frightened to death that Trump will win, but not because they believe he will harm the nation. They are afraid he will upset their taxpayer-subsidized apple carts. While Obama threatens to veto legislation that spends too little, they worry that Trump will veto legislation that spends too much.
You can be certain that if an establishment candidate wins in November 2016, ... [their] cabinet positions will be filled with the same people we've seen before. The washed-up has-beens of the Clinton and Bush administrations will be back in charge. The hacks from Goldman Sachs will continue to call the shots. Whether it is Bush's Karl Rove or Clinton's John Podesta, who makes the decisions in the White House will matter little. If the establishment wins, America loses.

Promoting the faith of the Bill and Hillary is perhaps the most ludicrous thing I've read in quite some time. Perhaps Bill shouldn't have been a lying, philandering piece of garbage, and Hillary shouldn't be a lying, cheating, and more, piece of trash, if they don't want people questioning their religious beliefs.

Chelsea Clinton: It's 'insulting' when people question my family's faith

Chelsea Clinton said God and religion guides so much of her mother's "moral compass" that she can't help but feel insulted when people question her family's faith.
"My mother is very deeply a person of faith," Ms. Clinton, the only child of former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, said at a recent fundraiser, the New York Post reported.
"It is deeply authentic and real for my mother, and it guides so much of her moral compass, but also her life's work," the 35-year-old added.
Hillary was raised as a Methodist, Bill grew up as a Baptist, and Chelsea's husband, Marc Mezvinsky, is Jewish. Chelsea explained that her family's religious diversity doesn't diminish their commitment to God, the New York Post reported.
"I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad or me … that they question our faith," she said. "I was raised in a Methodist church and I left the Baptist church before my dad did, because I didn't know why they were talking to me about abortion when I was 6 in Sunday school - that's a true story."
"I recognized that there were many expressions of faith that I don't agree with and feel [are] quite antithetical to how I read the Bible," she said. "But I find it really challenging when people who are self-professed liberals kind of look askance at my family's history."

I simply can't fathom Hillary having support. If I were liberal minded, I'd be all in on Sanders.
