Hey, cold iron - There's no room left under your cap for the feather you thought you may have relinquished. Under that cap lies too much intelligence, common sense, integrity and, most of all, truth. What a great post!!! It's such a joy to read about the goodness of a person rather than fabricated distortions and defamation. BRAVO!!!

________________________________________________________________________________________________

That conservative tribune article was sensational! It just confirms the heinous assault the left is making on the President. The silence from the MSM about the real history of Jason Keller is actually scandalous. What I am sure of, Rainrider, is that there is subterfuge being conducted behind the scenes to destroy Trump. When I think of all the anti-American comments and actions committed by the Obama Administration, i.e.: Benghazi; Fast and Furious gunrunning; the Executive Privilege granted buddy, Eric Holder; Solyndra and green energy subsidies for campaign donors; cash for Iranian hostages; IRS targeting of conservative groups; spying on journalists; Hillary Clinton's private email server; the Veterans Administration disaster; trading deserter Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban leaders held in Guantánamo, despite losing six of our own best and bravest who tried to rescue him; droning American citizens without due process; threatening red-line consequences without implementing them; and firing inspector general Gerald Walpin for investigating an Obama crony who was abusing federal programs (AND THAT'S JUST FOR STARTERS!!!) it's LUDICROUS!!

And after all these Obamanations, it seems impossible that he had the temerity to actually state - “I'm extremely proud of the fact that over eight years we have not had the kinds of scandals that have plagued other administrations!" INCREDIBLE!!!

Just proves that his predilection to distort and pervert facts, as he did in the quotes in my previous post, (with regard to Islam's mores), extends into his own critique of his job performance as the U.S. president. He tries to justify and rationalize his feckless, deceptive policies, however, it would be difficult for Barry to indict himself when so many of his cohorts and cronies have evaded and/or been relieved from accountability for their corruption and misdeeds.

So with that history of fraudulence, manufacturing scandals against Trump has now become a necessary exercise to retain and/or promote the progressiveness of liberal lunacy and we should always recognize that as such.

Yes, the race card is bound to be brought up intermittently. But now we also have a card to brandish - the TRUMP CARD!!

The bias within the Obama White House was made blatantly obvious when asked to comment on the case of Kate Steinle, a 32 year old woman, simply walking with her father on Pier 14 in San Francisco, who was shot to death by an illegal alien. Then Press Secretary Josh Earnest said comment on "this specific case" could not be issued and that reporters should refer to DHS for information. Incredibly, It turns out the guy who led DHS had NO CLUE about who Kate Steinle was.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson had been testifying on Capitol Hill about a series of ongoing immigration, illegal immigration and security issues. When asked by Rep. Steve Chabot about whether the Obama administration had reached out to the family of Kate Steinle, JOHNSON HAD NO IDEA WHO SHE WAS!!

"Has the administration reached out to the Steinle family, to your knowledge?" Rep. Chabot asked Johnson. - "To who?" Johnson replied. - "To the family of the woman who was brutally murdered by this FIVE-TIMES-DEPORTED ILLEGAL ALIEN who had committed SEVEN DIFFERENT FELONIES IN FOUR DIFFERENT STATES." Has the administration reached out to that family?" Chabot asked again. - Johnson responded: "I'm sorry, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, SIR!!"

The answer is NO!!! Not a single person in the Obama administration reached out to the Steinle family!! IT WAS A DISGRACE!! Perhaps the fact that Ms. Steinle was white, and that the incredibly stupid, irresponsible and reckless policy of "Sanctuary Cities," endorsed by the Obama Administration, could and SHOULD have been held directly culpable in Kate's death, is the actual reason for the Obama Administration's overt indifference. The killer, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez admitted that he went to San Francisco because he knew, San Francisco, a Sanctuary City would not hand him over to immigration officials. It makes me wonder - Where should law-abiding American citizens go for sanctuary from released felons?

All this hatred toward Trump is so hypocritical. What about Black Lives Matter? The fact that humanity has to clarify that ANY lives matter should be concern enough. But Obama went much further. Remember all those times Obama condemned black lives matter for violence, rioting and the killing of innocent people, especially the police? Oh wait!! That’s right!! HE NEVER DID!!! In fact, Obama continued to praise black lives matter radicals and even INVITED THEM TO THE WHITE HOUSE. The liberals and media drooled and loved it.

Accusations of White Privilege was just part and parcel of Obama's biased approach - and so was his attitude toward America. Remember all the praise he heaped upon the USA? Oh wait!!! That's right!! It wasn't appreciation - it was DEPRECIATION.

Some of these quotes are so contradictory to the truth that, if they weren't so sobering, they'd be laughable {see *}. And we know about Obama and his nescience with the truth:

“As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”*

“Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”*

“Islam has always been part of America.”*

“We will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities.”

“These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”*****

“America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”****

“I made clear that America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam.”* (Somebody ought to tell them!)

“Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace.”***** (LOL)

“In ancient times and in our times, Muslim communities have been at the forefront of innovation and education.”****

“Throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”*****

“Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality.”*

“The Holy Koran tells us, ‘O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.’”

“I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House.”

“We’ve seen those results in generations of Muslim immigrants – farmers and factory workers, helping to lay the railroads and build our cities, the Muslim innovators who helped build some of our highest skyscrapers and who helped unlock the secrets of our universe.”*

“That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it PART OF MY RESPONSIBILITY AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.* (And where was that written?)

“I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”*****

So crucify President Trump, but dismiss the rhetoric of Barry's obvious allegiance to Islam, while he apologized for the USA. No need to look anywhere else to recognize where and when the division in our country started - and it wasn't with President Trump!!!!

During the Civil War era, the "Radical Republicans" were given that name because they wanted to not only END SLAVERY but also to endow the freed slaves with FULL CITIZENSHIP, EQUALITY, AND RIGHTS.

The 14th Amendment, giving full citizenship to freed slaves, passed in 1868 with 94% Republican support and 0% Democrat support in congress. The 15th Amendment, giving freed slaves the right to vote, passed in 1870 with 100% Republican support and 0% Democrat. The Ku Klux Klan was originally and primarily an arm of the Southern Democratic Party. Its mission was to terrorize freed slaves and "ni**er-loving" (their words) Republicans who sympathized with them.

The historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 was supported by a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats in both houses of Congress. In the House, 80 percent of the Republicans and 63 percent of the Democrats voted in favor. In the Senate, 82 percent of the Republicans and 69 percent of the Democrats voted for it. Contrary to popular erroneousness, the parties never "switched" on racism. The Democrats just switched from overt racism to a subversive strategy of getting blacks as dependent as possible on government to secure their votes. At the same time, they began a cynical smear campaign to label anyone who opposes their devious strategy as greedy racists.

A strong argument could also be made that Democratic support for perpetual affirmative action is racist. It is, after all, the antithesis of Martin Luther King's dream of a color-blind society. Not only is it "reverse racism," but it is based on the premise that African Americans are incapable of competing in the free market on a level playing field. In other words, it is based on the notion of white supremacy, albeit "benevolent" white supremacy rather than the openly hostile white supremacy of the pre-1960s Democratic Party.

The 2008 Presidential Election revealed that a stunning 54 percent of young WHITE voters supported Obama, compared with 44 percent who went for McCain, the senator from Arizona. In the past three decades, no Democratic presidential nominee has won more than 45 percent of young whites.

Fully 96 PERCENT OF BLACK VOTERS supported Obama and constituted 13 percent of the electorate.

The 2012 Presidential Election revealed that non-whites made up 28 percent of the electorate, up a bit from 27 percent in 2008. This group largely backed Obama: 71 percent of Hispanics (it was 67 percent last time), and 93 PERCENT OF BLACKS (down a touch from 95 percent) - despite unemployment near 8 percent, debt topping $16 trillion and mounting questions over the Benghazi terror attack!!

Amazing, isn't it? All this hatred and all these protests and so much of it based on misconceptions. Just think of what we have been fed - in our universities, by the media, by our politicians - all the lies heaped upon us by corruption, greed, deceit, and political correctness. We have been played by personal partisan agendas, instead of being told the unvarnished truth. There is real danger in revisionist history - in removing the symbols of our past. If we turn a blind eye to what is wrong, evil, or tragic, we are welcoming ignorance and naivete. These crises are what subsequently become our learning tools.

"Those who do not remember the past, are condemned to repeat it!!" George Santayana

Sounds good to me, Steve - and all in CAPS too!!

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is one of the smartest people around. She grew up surrounded by racism in the segregated South, but went on to become the first woman and first African-American to serve as provost of Stanford University. In 2001, Rice was appointed national security adviser by President George W. Bush, becoming the first black woman (and second woman) to hold the post, and went on to become the first black woman to serve as U.S. Secretary of State. (She was the nation's 66th Secretary of State, serving from January 2005 to 2009.)

I'll never forget the interview she had when asked why she was a Republican. Years ago, back in Alabama, Rice's father went to the Democrat elections office and tried to register to vote. No dice - if you were black in Alabama, you had to guess the number of beans in a jar at the counter. A white friend of the family heard the story and told him to head back down to the office and look up a certain clerk who was looking to register only Republicans. So that's what he did. He was promptly registered, and that's how the Democratic Party lost out on his vastly talented daughter.

How talented? You might know that Rice, in addition to her political and diplomatic smarts, is a superb classical pianist.

Amazing, isn't it Steve? Makes you wonder why Blacks gravitate to the Democrat Party when history has recorded that the Democrats are not exactly loyal to their interests. Let's face it - Democrats may be more entitlement-receptive, but that is not the path that will encourage minority ambition or success. The Democrats cannot prevail unless the majority of their constituency is dependent, and that is what they intend to promote.

Hate is such a destructive emotion. It helps no one. It destroys the hater and serves the victim of the hatred with justification for vengeance and retaliation. It is an extremely dangerous emotion and deserves careful consideration - yet, it is unrealistic to believe that, if a loved one is harmed, retribution does not become a sudden priority.

Love should always transcend hate, but there are too many atrocities, too much perversion, corruption, vulgarity and downright evil in the world, so love has been inundated by a swamp of malice. We are asked to be tolerant of others, yet Black Pride is OK, Mexican Pride is OK, Asian Pride is OK, Muslim Pride is OK - BUT White Pride is RACIST!! There is something really INTOLERANT about that.

[quote=Steve700]Of course Obama and his largely communist and Muslim administration (As well as his supporting news outlets), is primarily responsible. Disparaging the police in favor of black racist criminal types has infuriated a lot of decent Americans. If Obama had been a decent person rather than a subversive Muslim Communist Revolutionary that needs social chaos in order to advance his agenda, he would have said something like this about Michael Brown who got himself shot: "There seems to be a problem with excessive criminality and lack of respect for working in certain segments of the black community. If Michael Brown and other black folks who get themselves shot by the police would only have been cooperative and follow the police directives rather than becoming obstinate and even combative. They would've gone home, or perhaps to jail in good health".Then he should have said something about the difficult job pulling is doing for our benefit and that they deserve our respect. (And have good reason to be a little paranoid) So have wisdom and be courteous. ----- But you know as any communist activists and revolutionary would want, he would like to have seen sufficient social chaos to be enabled to declare martial law so that you could complete his promised "Fundamental Transformation' of America.

He had all this social chaos started and all those Sorros funded radical groups will carry on the fight to turn this into a communist country so that we can be acclimated into the coming Luciferian communist one world government.

In 1860, the year of the Civil War - NO REPUBLICAN OWNED A SLAVE - ZERO!!! All of the slaves in the United States were owned by DEMOCRATS!!

Meanwhile, over 620,000 White People died to free Black Slaves - more Americans than in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War COMBINED. If the names of the Civil War dead were arranged like the names on the Vietnam Memorial, it would stretch over 10 times the wall’s length. The Civil War ended June 2, 1865 - OVER 150 YEARS AGO. There is no American alive from that era, which means, no one living today ever owned slaves.

Now to the Constitution - which Obama defined as a "deeply flawed document."

13th AMENDMENT: Abolished Slavery - 100% Republican Support - 23% Democrat Support

14th AMENDMENT: Gave Citizenship to Freed Slaves - 94% Republican Support - 0% Democrat Support

15th AMENDMENT: RIGHT TO VOTE FOR ALL - 100% Republican Support - 0% Democrat Support

You see, the Democrat Party MUST perpetuate racism, sexism, poverty and class warfare TO SURVIVE!!

Is it any wonder then, that LESS THAN ONE-THIRD of the top schools in the United States require history majors to take a class in AMERICAN history, according to a study by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a non-profit academic watchdog. The Council surveyed each undergraduate program in U.S. News & World Report’s lists of the top 25 national universities, public institutions and liberal arts colleges. At 53 of the 76 schools, history majors can get a degree WITHOUT TAKING A SINGLE U.S. HISTORY COURSE.

BTW - Trump has been excoriated by some because his language was not comprehensive enough to call out the White Supremacist attacks in Charlottesville by name. His most recent narrative, however, did explain, in no uncertain terms, who he considered responsible:

"Racism is evil -- and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."

Conversely, Obama refused, during his entire tenure as President, up to and including the day he left office, to mention the words "Radical Islamist Terrorism." He said that he wanted to make sure the word "terrorism" was disconnected from the word "Islam" - but it WAS DISCONNECTED - by use of the word "radical."

Ironically, Obama certainly didn't concern himself with the rhetoric used in reference to Christianity (his supposed religion):

"...remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ." Obama did have to go back to the year 1095 to make his allegations and, at that, it was "fake news." The Crusades were not the brainchild of an ambitious pope or rapacious knights, but a response to more than four centuries of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world. At some point, Christianity as a faith and a culture, had to defend itself OR BE CONSUMED BY ISLAM. The Crusades were that DEFENSE!!

For now, Trumpcare is a hypothetical.

Obamacare is, and always has been, hypocritical.

[quote=no propaganda please]This morning it was NPP's turn to make breakfast (Spanish omlette applewood bacon, blueberry muffins) so I fed the dogs and then got out the bird seed and hummingbird food and started to make the rounds. Only one hummingbird feeder was empty, out of 9, but as soon as I approached it I was attacked by hummingbirds at least 20 of them all demanding food, screaming and flying around in circles around me, as if each was so important and deserving and I had let them all down. As soon as the last one was full, they all flew to it and fought over it before turning away and going to the other feeders without even a look back to thank me for providing their sustenance.
I started laughing at them but then realized they were just like people. All the great gifts that the Creator has provided and we push and shove each other , demanding more and not giving thanks for all the things He has given us. How very selfish we are, and undeserving of all we have. The hummingbirds know no better but we do-don't we?
Oh Lord we thank thee for the gifts of life that You have provided. Teach us to be greatful and share with others that which has been given to us. We are not deserving of these wonderful things and it is only through the Love that You, the Creator have for us that we have them. Remind us that we must be humble and grateful for the unending love that You have given to us on a daily basis.
AMEN AMEN AMEN

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I have also noticed the ascent in ingratitude, however, my revelation did not come from hummingbirds - on the contrary - it came from soldiers. I have become addicted to the you-tube videos which show the surprise homecomings from soldiers to their families. It is so heartwarming to watch the relief and joy which accompany the families' response to their loved ones unexpected return.

It is so counter to what I felt when I learned about Hillary and Barry's rejection of our four brave Americans in Benghazi while they were being massacred. There were reinforcements an hour away - why weren't they sent? Oh yeah - I know!! It's old news!! But I'll never forget. Nor will I forget Brian Terry's death as a result of the Fast and Furious debacle. Brian was in the military and a Police Officer, as well as being a Border Patrol Officer.

Hillary compromised National Security by transferring intel on her UNSECURED SERVER from Classified and Confidential Documents. Who knows how many of our military were injured or paid the ultimate price as a result of her "recklessness." The VA scandal was an another disgrace and Crooked Hillary even diminished THAT, saying it wasn't "as widespread as it was made out to be." Meanwhile, the VA employees were being protected, even though they falsified wait-times documentation, and our veterans were dying while waiting, or committing suicide.

Barry apologized for our country several times on foreign lands, effectively debasing the sacrifices of our military. He also changed the Rules of Engagement which placed our military at further risk. And it was no surprise that Barry would consider Nidal Hasan's execution of our soldiers "workplace violence."

And so I learned about real ingratitude. My life was blessed with a husband and two sons who never made me feel expendable. These Democrats and Liberals, however, only seem to care about the people who grovel and promote them. It is understandable of course, in that the loathsome actions of their leaders never seem to be accompanied by commensurate consequences. The Clintons' history is also filled with associates who, suspiciously, never seem to die from natural causes.

Your prayer was beautiful. I'm sure the Good Lord read it with a smile and a sigh.

Jonathan Gruber, professor at MIT, and architect of Obamacare, received remuneration of an estimated $5.2 MILLION by the Obama Administration, in addition to 12 state governments, for consulting services, to assist in the design and implementation of the Affordable Care Act (AFFORDABLE?? LOL!!) Gruber ADMITTED, ON VIDEO, that the Obama administration went through "tortuous" measures TO KEEP THE FACTS ABOUT THE LEGISLATION FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, including covering up the redistribution of wealth from the healthy to the sick and to avoid the revelation that OBAMACARE IS, IN ACTUALITY, A TAX!!!(SURPRISE!!! SURPRISE!!)"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber said. "And basically, call it the STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN VOTER or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass."

Pelosi, possessing the same mindset, urged we "stupid Americans" to “pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what’s in it, away from the fog of controversy."

NOW GET THIS: Pelosi had the temerity to send a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan demanding to know the contents of his American Health Care Act, before it passes the House. “The American people and Members have a RIGHT TO KNOW the full impact of this legislation BEFORE any vote in Committee or by the whole House,” she wrote. “These are critical questions and I hope that Republicans will "honor their responsibility to the American people" both before the Committees vote and before the final bill goes to the House floor.”

Really!! You Can't Make This Stuff Up!!! - According to sources in Congress, Obamacare's stack of rules, regulations, and proposed regulations initially amounted to about 3,000 pages, but ultimately, it increased to about 20,000 pages!!!! Whatever the number, PELOSI NEVER READ IT!! In fact, NO ONE read the bill before it was passed. It was too long for the time between release of the final draft and the floor vote. And even if someone had scanned the bill, there was no time allowed for evaluation or discussion.

Pelosi's Obamacare remark concluded with the words - "away from the fog of the controversy." By “controversy”, she meant the Republicans, who had been completely shut out of drafting the bill, were denied any opportunity to amend, and had objected to a rushed vote on a bill they hadn’t had time to evaluate. Her letter actually admonished the Republicans to "honor their responsibilities to the American people" after SHE neglected to even read the Obamacare bill - yet she advised that it be passed, based on (now, what was that?? - Oh, yeah!!) her IGNORANCE of what's in it!! Is it really possible that she couldn't put 2 and 2 together and see what a ludicrous, hypocritical statement that was considering her Obamacare "pass the bill" remark? Is she really THAT CLUELESS?? - THAT ARROGANT?? THAT ADDLED??!

So, I must ask: Who are the fools who would defend a bill which concedes absolutely no respect for the American people - and, in fact, regards us as STUPID?

Perhaps they are the same fools who would accept that a Sec. of State would allow four brave Americans to be massacred on foreign land when there was AVAILABLE REINFORCEMENTS a mere hour away; or the same fools who would accept that this same woman would claim poverty when she was leaving the White House with her pervert of a husband, but TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE MOVE, buy a $2.8 MILLION home; perhaps they would believe that she had to dodge sniper fire when she landed in Bosnia, in spite of a video which proved she was greeted by a little girl who gave her flowers; certainly they couldn't believe Hillary's assertion that the VA Scandal was "not as "as widespread as it has been made out to be," when employees from the VA hospitals were being protected from prosecution as they falsified waiting times that our veterans had to withstand. Sadly, some of them died while waiting - others committed suicide. We should also never forget that, because she was too weak (poor baby) to carry two phones, she opted instead, to compromise our National Security by transferring intel from Classified and Confidential documents on her UNSECURED SERVER. God only knows how many more of our soldiers on deployment were also endangered. Comey called that "reckless." I call it traitorous, selfish, betrayal, and treasonous. She really is some mother.

The Democrats want to be portrayed as the good guys - but they're not. What they need are a refresher on the definitions of: loyalty, gratitude, compassion, allegiance, morality, patriotism. Without these intangibiles, they don't deserve the honor of being identified as an American.

What is so damn extraordinary about Obamacare?

(SURPRISE!!! SURPRISE!!)

Gruber Speaks: You can't do it political, you just literally cannot do it. Transparent financing and also transparent spending. I mean, this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay? So it’s written to do that," Gruber said. "In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in, you made explicit healthy people PAY IN in and sick people GET MONEY, it would not have passed. LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IS A HUGE POLITICAL ADVANTAGE. And basically, call it the STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN VOTER or whatever, but basically that was REALLY, REALLY, CRITICAL TO GET for the thing to pass." (Gee, No apology, Barry? - What about your promise to have the MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION EVER?)

Now I'm thinking about that "You can keep your doctor and your insurance" Obama promise and I'm really getting angry. When Obama was President, HE PURPOSEFULLY LIED TO ME!!

I'd better try to calm myself, make myself a nice cup of tea, and wait for the mailman. Maybe my $2,500 refund check has finally arrived!

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Radiance,

I just can't get over the arrogance of these two. How do they get away with murder? You mean they even have a different set of rules for that as well? How do you face the public when you are aware of what you husband did, and admitted, in the White House, as President of the U.S.. How power-hungry do you have to be to not only ignore, but lie to, the families of military victims that were massacred due to your dereliction and indifference?? Every time I see one of our soldiers being treated with anything less than the respect they so rightly deserve, I want the Clintons to feel the pain of consequence. They have evaded reckoning for far too long.

Hillary called herself a champion of women, but accepted millions from misogynistic governments; she said she was broke when she left the White House, but bought a multi-million dollar house two weeks before; she said she was under attack when she landed in Bosnia, but photos showed the only thing Hillary got at the airport was flowers from a little girl. Of course, we all know about the "inflammatory" video and "spontaneous protest" at Benghazi which got as much air time as the "you can have your doctor and insurance" Lie Of The Year.

She had the temerity to go on national television and insist that wait times at VA hospitals are not as “widespread as they are made out to be”. By doing so, she dismissed the fears and frustrations of veterans across the country who could not get medical care and could not be seen by a doctor. Hillary lied to these people. During her tenure as Secretary of State, wait times INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY and deaths due to veterans waiting for care were widespread and systemic. In a recent study, including more than 50 Million Veterans' records, from 1979 to 2014, VA officials mentioned that the information will allow them to “inform our suicide prevention programs and policies, especially for groups at elevated risk for suicide, including older and female veterans.”

Researchers found that the risk of suicide for veterans is 21 percent higher when compared to civilian adults. From 2001 to 2014, as the civilian suicide rate rose about 23.3 percent, the rate of suicide among veterans jumped more than 32 percent.

The problem is particularly worrisome among female veterans, who saw their suicide rates rise more than 85 percent over that time, compared to about 40 percent for civilian women. I guess that's not "widespread" enough for Hillary to believe that our veterans need help. The scandal reared its ugly head in 2014. Why wasn't something done about it then? Trump has been in office for six months and he already signed a bill into law that will make it easier for the Department of Veterans Affairs to fire employees, part of a push to overhaul an agency that is struggling to serve millions of military vets. Trump repeatedly promised during the election campaign to dismiss VA workers “who let our veterans down,” and he characterized the bill signing as fulfillment of that promise. You see, when what you promise is not just lip service, progress can be made.

“What happened was a national disgrace and yet some of the employees involved in these scandals remained on the payrolls,” Trump said. “Outdated laws kept the government from holding those who failed our veterans accountable. Today we are finally changing those laws.”

These are our family members we are talking about. It's unconscionable - but narcissists will typically do that - they try to destroy your life with lies because theirs can be destroyed with the truth.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I totally agree. Doesn't anyone involved with Clinton connivance die of natural causes? It is actually grotesque. It would seem improbable, but not when I consider what happened to Joan Rivers, Ron Brown, Seth Rich, John Ashe, Gareth Williams, Lt. Gen. David McCloud, James McDougal, Ron Miller, etc., etc., etc.. Just think about the chances - How many people do you know died under suspicious circumstances - 1, 2, 3 - or over 90? Videos that validated the very REAL possibility that there ACTUALLY ARE people who are as cruel, callous, and deceitful as the Clintons are noted below. They are all short, but enlightening!!!

Don't forget there was Whitewater, Chinagate, Travelgate, Monica-‘gate’, and the Clinton Foundation’s “pay-to-play.” Add to that the Hillary Select Committee investigation of Benghazi and the deaths of four of our brave Americans; her ruthless comment - "What Difference at this point Does It Make? - and the indivisible heartlessness in the way she treated the victims' families. Hillary’s misconduct and malfeasance in using an UNSECURED email server to send and receive highly sensitive and classified U.S. Government communications, in effect, compromised National Security. The State Department redacted information in her emails from her private server, and have learned many emails DO indeed contain classified information. The redactions include numerous NAMES CITED in Hillary’s emails which violate the Central Intelligence Act of 1949 by CITING NAMES OF CIA PERSONNEL. Not only is this a violation of national security, it puts military lives at risk.

So we know Hillary was grossly negligent in protecting our brave soldiers and representatives in Benghazi, and also for placing the lives of CIA agents and our soldiers on deployment in further peril. NICE, RIGHT? And there were people who actually cried because she lost the election!!!

(BTW) Hillary mentions that the perpetrators should be found and prosecuted. Guess What?

Obama, June 2014: “It’s important for us to send a message to the world: that when Americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and we will bring them to justice.”

Ansar al-Sharia commander Ahmed Abu Khattala, accused of being one of the masterminds of the attacks is THE ONLY FIGURE ARRESTED or killed in response to the attacks; THERE WERE ABOUT 150 TERRORISTS!!

Hillary Clinton admitted, in 2014, that when she was secretary of state she could not use computers and personal communications devices — such as BlackBerries — while visiting countries like China and Russia because they were vulnerable to being hacked. But her emails, released by the State Department, show that she sent DOZENS OF MESSAGES while visiting China and Russia.

“Every time I went to countries like China or Russia we couldn’t take our computers, we couldn’t take our personal devices, we couldn’t take anything off the plane because they’re so good,” Clinton said at an event held on Nov. 9, 2014, several months before news of her personal email use broke. "They would penetrate them in a minute, less, a nanosecond,” Clinton said of Russian and Chinese intelligence agencies. “So we would take the batteries out, we would leave them on the plane.”
And they're criticizing Trump for ALLEGED contact with the Russians. Here is proof that she allowed the transfer of intel on her personal server, endangering our military and she's walking free!! She was even permitted to run for President! It's ludicrous!! And Comey agreed she was reckless with classified/confidential documents, but DIDN'T INDICT HER because, he concluded, it wasn't INTENTIONAL!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE? NOT INTENTIONAL?? She ADMITTED she knew about Russian and Chinese hacking capabilities in 2014, and when she got home, she continued to use her personal server. HOW IS THAT NOT INTENTIONAL?? And what about Barry? He KNEW AS WELL - IN 2014!!! WHAT DID HE DO ABOUT IT? And they're trying to hang Trump. BTW - There was a satire expressed on a few sites that the real reason why Comey let Hillary free was because, in his investigations of her emails, he found HIS suicide note. (Amusing? Maybe - but it sure has a ring of truth to it!!)

Let's not forget how Obama cupped his hands at his crotch when the National Anthem played - understandable of course, considering his vote for the most beautiful sound on earth was "the Muslim Call To Prayer."

He prayed in Rev. Wrongs church for twenty years - thus being subjected to, or rather, agreeing with, "damning America." He bowed down to foreign leaders on foreign lands. He apologized, and apologized, and apologized for America. He launched his first Presidential Campaign in the home of Bill Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist who was seen on the cover of "Chicago" magazine stomping on our beautiful flag.

Barry's US government increased military pay just 1 percent in 2014, the smallest hike in 41 years and down from a 3.9 percent raise in 2009 and a 6.9 percent jump in 2002, according to the Military Times. The Pentagon said it would shrink the U.S. Army to pre-World War Two levels, eliminate the popular A-10 aircraft and reduce military.

While America’s naval fleet has been declining in size, depending on fewer large vessels, China has been producing larger numbers of smaller, more agile naval weapons and missile systems. According to one report, “Once again we confront the dilemmas of asymmetric warfare. Missiles of all kinds are far cheaper and easier to build than large surface warships.
There is probably no air defense system that can reliably fight off a saturation attack launched at a target as large as a CVN [nuclear-powered aircraft carrier].”

Concerns are growing that it will not be long before China’s navy is larger than the American navy, which will be unable to defend itself. An expert puts it succinctly: “The heart of our
navy today is the aircraft carrier, an effective weapon. Almost all of our other surface ships exists to serve it. That works well against third rate navies, but in a fight against a modern naval power, our carrier fleets could not leave port.”

It is clear that the Obama Administration's rules of engagement, which restrain troops from firing in order to spare civilian casualties, cut back on airstrikes and artillery strikes — the types of support that PROTECT TROOPS during raids and ambushes.

“In Afghanistan, the [rules of engagement] that were put in place in 2009 and 2010 created hesitation and confusion for our war fighters,” said Wayne Simmons, a retired U.S. intelligence officer who worked in NATO headquarters in Kabul as the rules took effect, first under Army Gen. Stanley M. McChrystal, then Army Gen. David H. Petraeus.

Obama couldn't find the money to increase our defenses or give our military a raise - however, Obama spent enough to leave our children and grandchildren with a $20 TRILLION debt to pay, and the promise of a welcome for thousands more illegals who can't even be vetted. Add them to the millions of illegals already here and the the tens of thousands of felons Obama has released from prison - murderers, rapists, kidnappers, assaulters - and he definitely left our country "fundamentally transformed"!!! Immigrants are one thing - unvetted illegals are not only strangers but dangerous - something else entirely.
