Seems to be quite popular with those larger ammo clips with the people wanting large kill ratios in any case.

I missed Trump saying explicitly that Obama was on the side of terrorists, if he did he's stooping even lower than the old born in Kenya jazz at a pretty bad time. I'd love to see the clip from the NRA rally thing again where he said his sons had so many guns it "scared even him." Hysterical!
Will pres is on their side with wide open borders here and not checking them as they freely cross in here The previous admin and earlier did the same.I do agree with him on banning these automatic rifles and machine guns.The average Joe should not own them.Why do they need them.They not going to shoot down a complete herd of animals in seconds while hunting.

Default Trump demands Clinton Foundation return $25 million from Saudis

Donald Trump on Monday demanded that Hillary Clinton return $25 million the Clinton Foundation reportedly received from Saudi Arabia.

“Crooked Hillary says we must call on Saudi Arabia and other countries to stop funding hate,” Trump posted to Facebook. “I am calling on her to immediately return the $25 million plus she got from them for the Clinton Foundation!”

The Wall Street Journal reported last year that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had donated between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation since it was created in 1999. Other donors included the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Australia and Germany.

“Saudi Arabia and many of the countries that gave vast amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation want women as slaves and to kill gays,” Trump wrote in a separate post. “Hillary must return all money from such countries!”

In a national security speech she delivered Monday, the former secretary of state highlighted the disruption of radicalization and countering the Islamic State and other terrorist networks’ recruiting efforts in the U.S. and Europe as an “area that demands attention.”

“For starters, it is long past time for the Saudis, the Qataris and the Kuwaitis and others to stop their citizens from funding extremist organizations,” Clinton said. “And they should stop supporting radical schools and mosques around the world that have sent too many young people on a path toward extremism.”

Trump last week accused Clinton of turning the State Department “into her private hedge fund.” “The Russians, the Saudis, the Chinese all gave money to Bill and Hillary and got favorable treatment in return,” he said then. “It's a sad day in America when foreign governments with deep pockets have more influence in our own country than our great citizens.”

In the same remarks, Trump had teased a “major speech” in which he would discuss “all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons.” The speech, originally scheduled for Monday, was canceled in the wake of the Sunday’s deadly shooting in Orlando, Florida.

Clinton acknowledged last week that some donations may have "slipped through the cracks" on "one or two instances" but insisted that the nonprofit had "overwhelming disclosure."

The Clinton Foundation didn't immediately respond to a request for comment...Copied from Politico

I'm not going to post it here (it's quite disturbing) but Google "LGBT rights in Saudi Arabia"...The Saudi government punishes gay people very harshly for simply being themselves...

If this is true then how can Hillary say she supports the gay community when her "Clinton Foundation" accepts millions from countries that have serious human rights issues...

You can like Trump or not but I think he is right this time...

OK .When the first time I seen this guys YT page.I thought the same and thought it was a Saturday Nigh Live news spoof .After watching it and realizing this guy is true and for real on stuff and have legit guests on his show.This guy reminds me of Rush Limbaugh on steroids LOL....... Hahahaha.I love to hear Alex's thoughts about Area 51 and UFOs.

To all of you . It looks like I support DT on here but I will make my decision in November .I could go with DT or indie 3rd party/lib but not Mrs C. .So far I like what he is saying and trust him then anybody else is running for the presidency.

Having two extremes hollering/blaming/heckling as it were is not my idea of balance, nor is say giving equal time to one scientist of thousands saying there is a climate change and one out of one saying there is no such thing, and if you're lucky maybe one out of twenty saying there is but is not human effected enough to count. To get real information, full information, seems to be a large problem in these times.

Sorry, to be clear, I meant television news. Generally BBC, ITN and Sky News each remain largely impartial. In fact BBC news is required to be politically neutral by law. Printed news is a whole different thing- I can't think of any newspapers that are genuinely impartial, though Financial Times and the Independent come pretty close.

Very interesting.



I was talking to my friend the other day which was a ww2 veteran and seen it all then and said that the current admin screwed up big time pulling our troops out too fast in Iraq and other surrounding countries .To come think about it that my late father which was a Korean war veteran said the same years ago.So how come the current admin dont come out and say that they effed up and cause this terrorist problem that we have.

Let's see...
Sold weapons to Saddam Hussein... (R)
Sold weapons to Bin Laden and the Taliban... (R)
Allowed flight of Bin Laden family members from U.S. when all other flights grounded post 9/11... (R)
Sold weapons to Iran... (R)
Invaded Iraq on bogus WMD intel... (R)
Tortured POWs in Iraq... (R)
Allowed weapons to be left behind to be captured by ISIL... (R)

To blame for everything... those weak (D) who actually found and eliminated Bin Laden.

Priceless.

I really don't know where some people in the U.S. are getting their news from, I see completely made up stuff accepted by them, this is a pretty serious problem, People outside of the U.S. are getting much better information the last two dozen years. NPR may be 'boring' minus the semi-hysterical trying to appear tough infotainment, but I can tell you (and you're paying for it and PBS anyway), you could do much better if you stuck to them for information. For example i can't believe how many times I've had people in the U.S. tell me I'm lying when I tell them Ronald Reagan more than tripled the U.S. national debt. Not to be cliched but there were dozens of mostly skewed and partisan newspapers in Weimar Germany in the 1920s-1933! You might think Big Bird is a soft liberal plot like Planned Parenthood or whatever but it's only yourselves you would be hurting if you leave everything to private motivated fanatics. It's hard to believe people actually put any kind of weight on things off extremist websites with silly names even. Do you want someone to blame as a pack for things, or do you want to face reality and make sensible changes based on full information? Does it mean nothing that Trump continued to rant about Obama being a Kenyan Muslim? Giving equal time to b.s. as to truth is a huge mistake and totally unbalanced.

News sources suck in the states because they are corrupt and too far left and right like the elite politicians and they only care about getting the mighty dollar from their adverts.You dont know if you are coming or going with these idiots.They fabricate stories on crap which is all BS .At this point screw Trump,Clinton and the indie party candidates and I might just skip this election because of all the BS the news people dish in my face everyday about everybody.Alot of voters might just skip out because they are fed up with this crap.Plus all the social media outlets are just as bad.
