Two things: Trump never used the word "ISIL," and, yes, he blames Obama/Hillary for ISIS. How could that be wrong?

Tyler Pager / Politico:

Trump: Obama ‘is the founder of ISIS’  —  Republican nominee Donald Trump said Wednesday night that President Barack Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, founded ISIL.  —  At a rally in Sunrise, Florida, Trump once again attacked the foreign policy of Obama and Clinton, saying their policies resulted in the creation of ISIL.

 

Editor's note:   Two things:  Trump never used the word "ISIL," and, yes, he blames Obama/Hillary for ISIS.  How could that be wrong?  

In December of 2011,  Obama with Hillary's support,  pulled out of Iraq,  leaving millions of dollars of military equipment behind,  a departure opposed by all of our in-theater military leadership at the time.  ISIS immediately seized the opportunity given it by our wannabee Muslim president,   and, wala,  we have the birth of ISIS, fully equipped and ready for action.   So,  yes,  Donald Trump is correct and needs to pound this point home,  over and over again.  

Understand that virtually all of the terror attacks in Europe and in this country have been at the hands of ISIS supporters/members.  All of them.  Thank you very much,  Barack Hussein Obama.

Can you believe this: Democrats and their National Media want you to think a disgraced congressman is as bad as an active supporter of Al Qaeda? Good grief.

Former Florida Rep. Mark Foley sits behind Trump at rally … Former Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) on Wednesday sat behind Donald Trump  —  at the GOP nominee's rally in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.  —  Foley resigned from his position in 2006 amid allegations that he had sent sexual emails and messages …

Editor's note:  If you believe there is a moral equivalency here,  you are either a thinking impaired Democrat (aren't they all?) or a member of the Taliban   . . . . .    seriously.  

Truns out, this headline is another CNN lie.

CNN:

Secret Service spoke to Trump campaign about 2nd Amendment comment  —  (CNN)A US Secret Service official confirms to CNN that the USSS has spoken to the Trump campaign regarding his Second Amendment comments.  —  “There has been more than one conversation” on the topic, the official told CNN.

 

Editor's note:  No such discussion took place per the Service and the Trump campaign.  But,  expect the major/Marxist media to continue this story.  If true,  it would indicate tthat the Service considered Trump an existential threat to Clinton.  The Service does not see such a threat. 

So, her father was an admitted crack head.

Malika caught on camera smoking pot.  Whatever.  

 

If Trump is so damn unpopular, why small donations totally 80 mil in July and 56 mil in June?

If Trump is so damn unpopular,  why small donations totally $80 mil in July and $56 mil in June?   He is still getting a lot of free coverage,  owns 75% of the commentary on social media, and is using press conferences to his benefits, and is just 7 points behind Hillary on the Real Clear Politics polling averages.   Now,  if he can just stop talking with his mouth full (foot-in-mouth disease). 

Democrats, once again, prove their inclination for back stabbing their own. The DNC will not even support Wasserman Shurltz's re-election campaign.

Roll Call:   House Democratic campaign chief Ben Ray Luján confirmed Monday that providing funding for outgoing Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz in her looming Florida primary won’t be a priority.

Big difference between Hannity and Sharpton: one believes violence and threats are useful tools; the other does not.

Bret Stephens / Wall Street Journal:

Sean Hannity's Veneration of Ignorance  —  The right's political huckster gives Al Sharpton a run for his money.  —  It was probably inevitable that Donald Trump and his media munchkins would alight on the stab-in-the-back theory to explain his probable defeat in November.

 

Editor's notes:  Absolutely no one with a sense of fairness,  can make this comparison.  Besides being one of the most "ignet" (Sharpton's way of pronouncing "ignorant") of pundits, Sharpton is an anarchist who does not believe in the greatness of this nation nor the value of non-violent debate and sheer civility.  

The Bush/Romney Cartel can't get more partisan nor more lethal than this:

David E. Sanger / New York Times:

50 G.O.P. Officials Warn Donald Trump Would Put Nation's Security ‘at Risk’  —  Fifty of the nation's most senior Republican national security officials, many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush, have signed a letter declaring that Donald J. Trump … 

 

Editor's notes:  You can't be more of a danger to national security than Hillary  (i.e.,  her unprotected and private server),  yet,  The Cartel is silent on this matter.  

Finally, the truth comes out about Andrea Tantaros' suspension.

I believe there are two issues involved here:  the Tantaros' bookcover (seriously,  Ailes had a problem with it ??!!!) and the harassment charge,   which many believe is the primary issue.  While several of the Fox faithful supporte Ailes  (Kimberly Guilfoyle, Dana Perino, along with others), Tantaros' demotion came the day after the book was released.  Coupled with the fact that Tantaros is still being paid,  and we have reason to believe that Tantaros has a serious complaint or she would have been terminated without pay,  immediately,  as was Gretchen Carlson  ~  editor.

Fox News’ senior executives have said they were unaware of sexual-harassment allegations against Roger Ailes before former anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit against him in July. But those claims are now being challenged by Fox host Andrea Tantaros, who says that she complained multiple times to senior Fox executives in 2015 about Ailes’s inappropriate sexual behavior toward her. Tantaros says that, after she came forward, she was first demoted and eventually taken off the air in April 2016. Fox continues to pay her.

Through her lawyer, Judd Burstein, Tantaros says that both she and her agent told Fox executive vice-president Bill Shine, senior vice-president Suzanne Scott, and general counsel Dianne Brandi about episodes of Ailes’s alleged harassment. “She made multiple harassment and hostile-workplace complaints,” Burstein says. As far as Tantaros knows, Fox executives never investigated her complaints, Burstein says; instead, they claim, Fox sidelined her. “I believe it’s retaliatory,” says Burstein.

Fox’s attorneys dispute this. The network says Tantaros was suspended with pay because she violated company policy by not allowing Fox to vet her 2016 book, Tied Up in Knots: How Getting What They Wanted Has Made Women Miserable. Fox attorneys told Burstein the network was embarrassed by her book’s cover, which depicts Tantaros bound by ropes.  (Read the full story, here).
