I don't know if the "Russians" had any influence on the election or not. But IF they did, we all owe then a great deal of gratitude for the outcome.
Seriously, Lefties, ask yourself this question, why would Russia prefer Trump over Clinton? Clinton would be a much easier push over to deal with than a strong leader like Donald Trump.
Can you please answer that question with some clarity? I'd love to hear it.

Send the bill to Soros. He funds every other left wing pinko-commie organization.

With great wealth, power and success comes great responsibility. Not everyone who came from a humble background can handle it well and not succumb to temptation.
Do I believe Mr O'Reilly did some of the things he is accused of? Yes I do. I also believe that there was an orchestrated plan by the Soros supported Media Matters and specifically David Brock, to destroy him.
All prominent conservative voices are in danger from this organization.
I would love to see O'Reilly fight back, but why would he bother? He has plenty of money and could just keep all the following proceeds from book sales instead of donating the profits to the various charities like Wounded Warriors. He mentioned several years ago that he was ready to retire but decided to stay on rather than have to put all his staff out of work.
If I was involved in the Wounded Warriors project, I would be highly incensed at the current state of affairs. And I would not want to be in David Brock's (or Mr Soros) shoes.

Read again. I said North VIETNAM was out of air defense missiles.

I agree with your premise. However, it is MacArthur, not McCarthur. The good General was prepared to use nuclear weapons to kill the hordes of North Korean and Red Chinese armies.
Truman had a hard time unleashing those weapons after seeing what they were capable of.
We did not "lose" the Vietnam War. It was frittered away in a "peace accord" that wasn't worth the paper it was written on. And the signatures were signed within a week of unconditional surrender after the North Vietnamese had run out of ground to air SAM missiles to shoot down our bombers with. Henry Kissinger still thinks he is some kind of genius for that peace pact.
I disagree with him on that.
I was a participant in that war and have accumulated over 60 books on the subject. One was written by former South Vietnamese communist who found out too late what communism was all about. He was a spy who furnished intel to the North and figured he would have a place in the government after the fall of Saigon. He was quite wrong about that as the North took over and ran the entire government. There is a lesson for those who support communists in this country. If you betray your country and it is taken over by communists, you will be of little use to them as your own loyalty would forever be in question. In other words, useful idiot.

After the action last night, I'll bet Trump isn't on Putin's BFF list anymore.

"The Democrats loudly claim that the Susan Rice story is “fake news” to distract from the real story about Russian intervention in the election. "
Exactly how did Russia intervene? Did they expose the corruption of the DNC and Hillary though Wikileaks release of emails? If so, I think they helped America make the right choice.
Anyway, Hillary still got more total votes didn't she? So tell me again how they influenced the election.

Since when did this become "One Religious Plaza?"
No offense, but.....

Anyone pushing (man caused) climate change ought to put up or shut up. Live like the Amish and ride around in a horse drawn buggy and do without electricity. Do I have to tell you where to plug your computer in?

Trump: We need your help with the miserable dictator Kim Jung Un." "What can you do about him?
Xi Jinping: "We can eliminate the problem, but we need some compensation for our inscrutable efforts."
Trump: "What would you want in exchange?"
Xi Jinping: "Taiwan."

There are posters, posing as people, that irritate others as a sporting event. They contribute nothing to a discussion but consternation and deserve no more respect than a pesky mosquito.
The blocking or ignore feature is the online equivalent of a can of Raid or a fly swatter. Use it liberally. It will make the world a better place, eventually, when the classless miscreants realize their efforts are futile.

Send Hillary. She already knows how to dodge sniper fire. Do you know anyone with a higher body count than her?
She can take Dennis Rodman along too.

Yes President Trump has many flaws. But, does anyone think Hillary would have been a better president? Seriously? What exactly were her noteworthy accomplishments? When she was asked that question she stammered around and gave an incomprehensible, nonsensical response. Trump is working for $1 a year. Sounds to me like his heart is in the right place and his hand is not in our pocket. There hasn't been a president since Ronald Reagan that I thought would improve our lot. I voted for a different republican in the primary but after seeing the crowds Trump drew at the rallies I became a supporter.

Since military records are mentioned here I will state mine. I finished technical school and took the tests to become a licensed aircraft mechanic in 1967. In 1968 I got a job in that profession working on Army aircraft engines. That qualified me for a military deferment. I could have used that deferment to avoid the service but I enlisted for three years in the Army. I tried for the Air Force but they were full up. I got trained as an aircraft turbine engine repairman and landed at Cam Ranh Bay on October 29th, 1968. First impressions after stepping out of the air conditioned 707 cabin; Wow, it's warm at night, what is that smell, and why is there mesh over these bus windows? C-130 took me south to Bien Hoa, truck ride to Long Binh, Huey ride to Di An. Finally, I'm at my duty station after how many days without a good nights sleep? Two months there and we convoy south to the Mekong Delta. Interesting trip. Don't miss the Cho Lon fish market area of Saigon. It's a hoot. If you're a cat! Arrived at Vinh Long, set up camp, built two 30,000 sand bag bunkers. Those mosquitoes had to have somewhere to hang out during the day. Lost all respect for drunks and druggies. Got shot at and missed~by an idiot G.I. with a 12 ga coming off guard duty. 122mm rockets arrived at night once in a while. But generally had an excellent adventure aside from losing weight and coming home emaciated at 115 pounds. I still miss the rush of low level flying. Rode front seat in the Cobra a couple times, flew one at night with the pilot asleep.
Did my 12 months and returned to do 1 1/2 years at Ft. Knox. Signed out April 29th 1971, the happiest day of my life. First stop, the nearest dumpster to dispose of all the O.D green clothes~good riddance.
Started looking for a suitable job. None available in my line. They wanted to sign me up for unemployment. I told them I didn't want it. Lady was astonished. She said, "Nobody ever turned it down before." I turned around and walked out. I went to work at a construction company where my high school buddy was a son of one of the owners. Daddy got him into the guard and he never left the country. What a country.

Look it up, how much farther ahead would one be at retirement time if the money taken out of our wages, and our employers contributions for social security was instead invested in the stock market over a 40 to 45 year working career?
How many liberal programs would have been possible without capitalism supplying the resources (taxes) to pay for them?
It may take a generation to unwind all the damage done to the country in your progressive quest for Utopia but at least we have started with new leadership.
Inequality and prejudice founded on deception? The fellow Americans I went to school with had the same teachers and books that I did. Did we all succeed equally and prosper at the same rates? No we did not. It is just human nature that some will rise to the top and others will fail. That is the beauty of our system. You succeed according to how hard you work for success. A lot of that depends on your parents. If they didn't instill in you the values you need to get ahead, you will be left behind.
Way back in the 1960s Timothy Leary said, "Turn on, tune in and drop out." He was advocating the use of LSD to get high. Rock and rollers promoted marijuana and other drugs. We are seeing the results of that bad experiment and those of you who believe liberalism is the answer are perfect examples of diminished reasoning capability.

"That is the mission of the liberals today. We are pro democracy, pro capitalism, anti racism and for the protection of the American dream of working people to own a home, educate their children and have enough for a comfortable retirement. If the billionaires have their way, there would be no real democracy, just a government that protects the billionaires and their power! America is for every citizen, not just the Kochs and Trumps of the world!"

That is enough horseshit to fertilize a good sized garden.
Liberals mission is to destroy capitalism, which made the US the greatest country in the world, and replace it with European style socialism, which would fail.
We are not a "democracy" which is mob rule. We are a republic, a representative republic, which we are in the process of restoring, and we aim to keep it.
You liberals have destroyed the American dream with help from RINOs and your former leader did more to kill the "American Dream" than any other US president in history.
Home ownership has been declining, jobs lost along with the hope of ever finding another one. The numbers receiving government assistance at an all time high and still you want us over run with illegal aliens who only exacerbate the problems.
The education system is a joke and our world standing has suffered as a result. I used to shake my head back when Jay Leno was doing his "Jaywalks" and now Jesse Watters is showing us the level of knowledge endemic in our populace. It is embarrassing. Most people don't know Jack Schitt beyond their own little social network world, and they could care less.
As to your last point about the most successful Americans, take a look at Discoverthenetworks.org. You will see where the real money used for subversive purposes comes from.
You can't put a shine on the turd of liberalism. So don't bother trying to get away with it here.

" what does you being a vietnam vet have to do with this conversation? Were you sprayed with agent orange? "
Nothing I guess. I was called a "blithering idiot" and am offended by that description. I was sprayed with Agent Orange and I have a painful condition called peripheral neuropathy which causes my feet to hurt continuously. I was told by my Doctor that this is one of the most common problems/symptom associated with agent orange exposure. I have photos taken from a Huey over the Rung Sat special operations zone where C-123 aircraft were spraying the chemical. I could not see a blade of green anything as far as I could see from 2500-3000 feet, and wondered why they were spraying over an area that was obviously dead of any living plants.
As far as chemtrails are concerned, let's see the accumulated evidence piled up, a law firm hired, and proper charges drawn up in a class action lawsuit charging harm and naming all firms concerned with production or the materials used, the installation and operation of dispersal equipment, the lease holders of the aircraft used in the application, and the pilots and crews hired to disperse it.
I urge all the whistle blowers (and anyone else who is concerned) to unite, pool their resources and go for it. Get a "go fund me" site set up and maybe I'll even throw in a few bucks.
Failing to do that will allow this to just be another "wacky conspiracy theory" that we have been hearing about for decades.
Now if you want to discuss a real cover up, look into TWA Flight 800. I knew two people on that 747.
