Trump Simply Won’t Stop Telling The Truth
Fix This Nation - Aug 25, 2016
By now, you’ve probably seen the clip a dozen times. A woman sitting behind Donald Trump at a Jackson, Mississippi rally, reacting in confused shock as the Republican nominee launched a new line of attack on his Democratic opponent. Her eyes go wide and she makes an expression that seems to say: “Really? You’re going there? Good luck, dude.”
If Hillary herself had been in the audience, she might have had an identical reaction.
“Hillary Clinton is a bigot,” Trump said at the rally on Wednesday night, “who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future. She’s going to do nothing for African-Americans. She’s going to do nothing for the Hispanics. She’s only going to take care of herself, her husband, her consultants, her donors…these are the people she cares about. She doesn’t care what her policies have done to your communities. She doesn’t care.”
So continues Trump’s new message, meant to reach out to minority voters who have been brainwashed into seeing the billionaire as Hitler reincarnated. Over the past two weeks, Trump made several explicit overtures to black voters while reporters snarked about the number of white faces in his crowds. He’s also “softening” his stance on immigration, telling Fox News’s Sean Hannity that while a path to citizenship was not on the table, he would “work with” illegal immigrants already in the country instead of automatically deporting them.
In conjunction with this new strategy, Trump has been on what the media calls “good behavior” lately, playing it straight and avoiding controversy. He’s been faithfully reading off the teleprompter, staying out of feuds with peripheral personalities, and, overall, acting more “presidential” than he’s been since entering the race. That’s why everyone was so eager to jump on his “Hillary is a bigot” comment. It was the best bone he’d thrown to the media in days.
But you’ll notice that they aren’t spending much time on the actual truth behind the statement. Why bother, when it can be dismissed so easily?
“Trump calls Clinton a bigot bc he (like many conservatives) thinks ‘bigot’ is a term liberals deploy arbitrarily to damage conservatives,” said Business Insider’s Josh Barro.
Liberals do indeed use that word to arbitrarily attack conservatives; their coverage of Donald Trump is the only evidence you need to make that case.
But Trump’s comment would have the ring of truth even if liberals had never accused a single Republican of racism. Democrat bigotry is subtle – no one’s waving WHITE POWER posters around or anything – but it is much more dangerous than anything that comes out of the actual white supremacist movement. The party has given lower-income blacks and Hispanics a mirage to believe in – a better future, made possible by an increasingly generous government. And yet, so many decades after LBJ’s War on Poverty, minority-dominated cities are still waiting for that mirage to become a reality.
It won’t happen. The mirage doesn’t exist and it never did. It’s a scam, and it’s one that is turning our country into a violent maelstrom of mediocrity.
Trump’s new message may or may not be a winning one, but it’s one that desperately needs to be heard.

FTN - Aug 24, 2016
Barack Obama kept company with a wide selection of thugs throughout the years, but not even Obama could be lumped in with the likes of Islamic terrorists. According to at least one U.S. Army unit, the same cannot be said of Hillary Clinton.
On a Facebook page called U.S. Army WTF Moments, there appeared Sunday a training slide used in a presentation on homeland security. On the slide were listed six “Insider Threats” including Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter; Aaron Alexis, the Navy Yard shooter; Edward Snowden, David Petraeus, and Chelsea “Don’t Call Me Bradley” Manning. And, last but not least, the former secretary of state herself.
A U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command spokesman confirmed that the training slide was the real thing.
“As is common with Army training requirements, the local unit was given latitude to develop their own training products to accomplish the overall training objective,” said Maj. Thomas Campbell. “This particular presentation had not been reviewed or approved by the unit’s leadership, and does not reflect the position of the Army.”
So, just to clarify: It is not the Army’s position that Hillary Clinton endangered American security in much the same way as Snowden, Manning, and the military base Islamists. That is not the official U.S. Army stance on the issue.
They had to come out and say that.
About a woman who stands a very good chance of being the next president of the United States.
And mind you, this isn’t like a rogue A/V tech was trying to throw in a cheeky political jab at Clinton to get some laughs. She was added to the mix because her carelessness was, indeed, a threat to national security. We can argue about where it fell on the scale when compared to the other five people featured on the slide, but there’s no question that she earned her spot. The politics of this election made the slide controversial; if Hillary wasn’t running for president, this wouldn’t even be a story. When you’re reckless with classified information, you deserve to be labeled an insider threat.
But yeah, by all means, lets put her in the White House. If she doesn’t work out, this slide gives us a few options for 2020.

From Tim Kaine’s Private Journal:
Entry: 8/22/2016
Progress on Trump impersonation is slow. I must stop mimicking Darrell Hammond and start channeling the man himself. The gestures are on point. It’s the voice! The damned voice!
I do have cause to be joyful, though. HRC put on a masterful performance for Kimmel. Watching our campaign collude with the media to squash those health rumors has been a delight (although also a little troubling). God knows we wouldn’t stand a chance if the voters really knew the situation…
But we know, don’t we, diary? Muhuahuahua…oh, we know.
– (President?) Tim Kaine
Whether or not that’s an accurate insight into the mind of Hillary Clinton’s running mate, there’s no denying the fact that those health “rumors” have the campaign on defense for the first time in weeks. Clinton appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show Monday night to laugh off the concerns.
“This has become one of their themes,” Clinton said of the Trump campaign. “You take my pulse while I’m talking to you. Make sure I’m alive.”
Clinton then opened a pickle jar to prove that her strength was beyond doubt.
But then, Clinton isn’t running for jar-opener-in-chief or comedian-in-chief, she’s running for president. And she can dismiss the growing body of evidence surrounding her poor health all day long, but the pictures and videos that show her stumbling, spasming, and stuck for words are not being manufactured by the Trump campaign. They exist. They’re out there. All you have to do is listen to Uncle Rudy and Google it.
Apparently, Hillary’s cohorts in the media just realized that anyone in America can do that at any time. On Tuesday, New York Times writer Farhad Manjoo suggested that someone should repair that pesky leak.
“Google should fix this,” Manjoo tweeted, referring to the search results. “It shouldn’t give quarter to conspiracy theorists.”
You have to love it when liberals fight “conspiracy theories” by calling for an actual conspiracy against internet users.
In any case, we’ve seen over the years that when it comes to the Clintons, the left has a very broad sense of the term “conspiracy theory.” Are there accusations floating around about these two that are less than credible? Of course; that’s true of every politician in living memory.
But let’s draw a clear line of distinction between “ridiculous” and “unproven.” Once upon a time, news outlets like the New York Times thought there was much less to Hillary’s email scandal than turned out to be the case. Last month, FBI Director James Comey confirmed many details that, days earlier, mainstream liberal news pundits would have dismissed as conspiracy theories.
Trump, unlike most of his Republican predecessors, isn’t afraid to allude to stories outside the mainstream press. The networks treat him like a moron for repeating information found inside the pages of the National Enquirer, but Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He knows – perhaps better than most – that while these stories may not always be dead-on accurate, they often get closer to a disguised truth than you might suspect. Reporters do a little digging…and well, who knows what they might turn up?
Is it dirty politics? Sure. But when you’re running against not only Hillary Clinton, but NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and all of Hollywood, you can’t win by playing nice.
