No Common Ground

There is no longer any common ground between the two political parties in our country.
There was a time when our leaders could sit down and discuss  the problems which needed attention and work out a solution. The solution wasn't exactly what, for the most part, either party hoped for but it was a step in the right direction..

Today that is no longer possible. There is no Common Ground upon which we can meet.

The day Donald Trump stepped off the escalator, in Trump Tower, and announced he would run for president, the progressives laughed, the rino republicans, who would become known as the Never Trumpers laughed, but the people who were true conservatives applauded. Finally someone with balls would be running for president on the Republican ticket. Such a novel idea..

As Trump began his campaign, as he began talking about the things which concerned the average voter some of the aforementioned groups began to be concerned. Although the polls showed HIllary would win by a big margin, worry began to creep into those who live in the Washington Swamp. The politicians on both sides of the isle, many of whom have never had a job outside of politics, who know practically nothing of business or how to run one and are totally removed from day to day life of the average American were beginning to hear Trump's promise to "drain the swamp", to make changes which could change their very way of life. They began to take him seriously, They began to worry.

The date most often used, as the date when the plan to stop Trump was first implemented was around July of 2015. Those involved in stopping him was FBI director James Colmey and several associates directly under his control, members of the Justice Department, top members of the intelligence community and Obama and Biden along with top members of his Administration.
Documents have finally been released which prove all of this. When the first spying began, using false information to obtain FISA warrants to spy on General Michael Flynn and Carter Page they had no crime, no legal  reason for the application. We now know that they lied and used false information. We know that, it has been in the Inspector General's report more than one and the documents which prove it is available online. The proof is there.
    
So while we were not aware of the falsely acquired FISA warrants they began  an investigation charging the President with colluding with the Russians to win the election. They began this investigation with no  evidence of this charge. Muller was put in charge of the investigation, and he accepted the job knowing full well that he had no legal precedent for the investigation. If he had been honest he would have refused the appointment. He didn't. (For those who remember or wish to research Muller's top dog (pit bull as they called him) he was the same man who was in charge of the Enron task Force and destroyed Arther Anderson Accounting which put 85000 people out of work. He tried to completely take down Merrill Lynch and he was in charge of the Senator Steven investigation when they took down a Senator using false information and withholding exculpatory evidence. Almost every conviction in these cases was overturned by the Supreme Court . I recommend Sidney Powell's book "License to Lie". It will scare you to death. I remember these events when they happened and I find her book a "can't put down" read. 


If you follow the news at all you know the story. The Mullier investigation which found nothing. The impeachment by the democrat run congress which failed in the Senate. We now know that every witness who  was called to testify in the secret basement hearings called by Schifft, and who we  were told, had evidence against the President, later said  when specifically asked if they had or knew of any evidence against the president, said they did not.

Close on the heels of the impeachment, came the virus. Considering all the wrong information we have been given, .the incorrect data and the date that just doesn't compute,  it is easy to see that the virus is being used to keep our country from regaining the financial position we had prior to the virus. It is being politicized against Trump. The progressives have done nothing except try to "get Trump" since before the 2016 election.

And finally we have the "peaceful" protesters who are now being used to try to make President look bad. If they can somehow convince people that all the chaos, transpiring in long time controlled Democrat cities, is somehow the fault of President Trump, then somehow people can be convinced to vote for Joe Biden.

 Seriously, I am scratching my head over that one. Really, Joe Biden, a man who has been wrong all his life. Every stand he has ever taken has put him in the wrong. Then you have his liking for touching and feeling little girls and women. Then there is his families wealth, made at the expense of our country and  using his position in the government to grant favors to those in other countries in exchange for money to his family. It's not just his son. And then there is his gaffs, laughed at for years as just being funny. They weren't. And now you have an old man who doesn't know who he is, what he is running for or where he is most of the time.

The time is here when we need to be scared about losing our country. . Don't think for one minute that any of this is about race. It is not. Don't think that BLM is about race. It is not. Now is the time to stand up for what you believe in and for the love you have for your country.

 There are thousands of people who are discouraged and will believe what they see on television. They will believe that there is no hope and our country will become what we see in places like Minneapolis and New York. They will not vote because they think it is hopeless. Think about this...if instead of just hitting the LIKE button on facebook what if you just take a minute to comment or share and say you believe in America. You support America and what it stands for. You never know what just a few words of encouragement will do for a discouraged person. They will know they are not alone in their feelings.

Something as small as just a word of support for our country might be the straw that breaks the camels back (so to speak) and might encourage just one person to dig a little deeper into history and really find out that our country is the most wonderful place in the world, with the most opportunities possible for everyone.

 If you vote for Biden, or fail to vote because you don't like the way Trump speaks remember this. Joe Biden is incapable of being president. If elected the country will be run by Pelosi, AOC, Shumer and the rest of the progressives in Washington. Do you believe in higher taxes, no police, no free speach or liberty, no gun rights, limited freedom? This is what progressives offer. Do you want to see the country look like Minneapolis? Would you like to live there?

Please speak up, encourage others to speak up....Stand UP America.


 

You Really Need to Consider the Facts

We're coming down to the wire for this election and people make their minds up based on sound bites, mostly which have little or no basis in fact.

If our education system was doing the job it was set up to do all the lies and innuendos could not work. Here are a few points which I would bet most people don't know or understand.

Regarding our almost 20 Trillion dollar debt. To think about a number so big is in itself mind-boggling. Now to put this into context. The Fed has held down the interest rate for all these many months. How does that enter into the economy, into your life? Well just think about this. At the beginning of Obama's term in office, many retirees or soon to be retirees had their retirement savings in bonds, in CD's, in Treasury bills. Their plan was that the interest from these investments would be their retirement income. Holding the interest rate to almost zero has demolished these plans. Consider a person with $300,000 in his/her retirement plan. When the interest rate was 6% that meant a yearly income of $18,000. That plus social security meant an income that could support a modest lifestyle while maintaining their capital.  When the interest rate fell to and settled on less than 1% it devastated their retirement and many of these people are now forced to continue working well into their 70s and 80s.
 401's. Most young workers probably think that the 401 retirement plans have always been there. Actually the programs was first established in 1978 and since that date has had many tax isssues. In the beginning it was strictly for executives and high earners. By 1983 nearly half of large employers either were offering or planned to offer the plan and by 1996 there were over 30 million participants.It wasn't until 2006 that automatic enrollment took effect so many current retirees did not have the 401 as an option. The only vehicle left for investment for many is the stock market which has been artificially inflated because of all the money printed by the Treasury and for which there is no place for it to go other than the stock market or overseas.  

It is only because the Fed has held the interest rate down that Obama has even had a chance to brag about his economic success. Looking again at the national debt of almost  $20 Trillion dollars. Think what would or will happen when the interest rate on that debt rises. If it goes up by even 1% that would be an additional $200 billion dollars per year, if it increased by 3% that would be $600 billion dollars per year. According to budget information from the www.insidegov.com we are currently taking in $3.34 Trillion and spending $$3.95 Trillion for an annual deficit of -$616 Billion. When the interest rate goes up by even 1% that would mean a deficit of -$816 Billion which will further bring down our economy.

Remember when Obama took office the national debt was about $10.7 Trillion which was the accumulation of all the Presidents from Washington throught GW Bush.

Now to current promises and plans within the campaign. When Hillary says she will tax the wealthy everyone on the left cheers. Remember this, when a politicial talks about the tax rate they are talking primarily about the rate on "earned income". That is on wages and salaries, it is NOT on investment income which is where the wealthy earn their money. When she talks about taxing the rich by raising the income tax rate she is really not talking about all her rich cronies.
When she talks about raising the estate tax rate again she is not talking about the rich because the rich have their own tax attorneys who set them up with foundations and every other conceivable loophole that is in the tax-code and they therefore do not pay any estate tax when they die. The current federal estate tax exemption is $5.43 million which lets most American taxpayers off the hook.
The point I am making is that all these "big Deal" promises or charges are false.

The biggie this morning is that Donald Trump has not paid taxes in years. First, of course, as an employer he pays a great amount of tax as an employer, he pays the employer share of FICA, workers comp, unemployment tax, and on and on. He pays for all the regulations which the Federal Government imposes on business and which Obama has created in abundance. He pays huge amounts in Real Estate tax throughout the country on property he owns. I think most of us would love to have, as our income,  just what Trump pays in taxes.
Trump had some tremendous  business losses in 1995 and which in turn created carry back or carry forward losses for Federal Income tax purposes. The tax law gives the taxpayer the choice of carrying back 3 years or carrying forward 15 years. This is law, perfectly legal and used everyday.
It is perfectly fair but most people will never know or understand this when a soundbite is running across the headlines saying Trump has not paid taxes in years.

Trump says dumb things sometimes and he is without a doubt very very interested in telling us about his successes but let me ask you to do this. Compare what Donald Trump has accomplished to what Hillary Clinton has accomplished. Trump has earned what he has in the Capitalistic Market Place. He has been out there winning by using his intellect and his ability to do deals and by keeping his eyes on the bottom line. He has earned it. Hillary on the other hand has lived her entire adult on the back of taxpayers, she has never contributed to the economy in any way shape or form. And now since she and Bill left the Whitehouse broke (in her words)  they have managed to accumulate billions of dollars on speech making and writing books that don't sell. Can you really believe that? If so I would love to hear your explanation.

I hope this will give some people food for thought or ammo for arguing their point. Remember when you don't know something...look it up. Just ask Seri...she may not know everything but she knows a lot.

Soros' "Islamophobia" Plot Against David Horowitz Revealed

The DCLeaks document dump exposes the pro-Islamist Left's sinister attempt to slime truth-tellers about Jihad.

August 19, 2016
Matthew Vadum

Radical left-wing billionaire George Soros developed a strategy five years ago to publicly disparage, delegitimize, and marginalize conservatives like David Horowitz who go to great pains to warn Americans about the threat posed by political Islam and the ongoing Islamization of the U.S.

It is part of the Left's push to create an alternate reality in which world temperatures claimed to be rising at an imperceptibly slow rate pose more of a threat to mankind than militants flying commercial jetliners into skyscrapers.

Soros is a foreign-born atheist who as a 14-year-old collaborated with the Nazis in occupied Hungary, describing that time as "probably the happiest year of my life" and "a very positive experience." He has described himself as "some kind of god, the creator of everything," and has said his "goal" was "to become the conscience of the world."

He is an enabler of Islam which has been expanding by conquest and deception for 1,400 years. To put things in Islamic terms, Soros's proposed mass importation of Muslims would expand the ummah, or community of Muslims, by means of what Muslims call hijrah, or jihad through emigration, from the Islamic world, the Dar al-Islam (house of peace), to the Dar al-Harb (house of war).

Soros's affinity for Islam makes perfect sense. Nazi sympathizers and Islamists have much in common. It is fair to say that Islamic terrorists are the last of Adolf Hitler's World War Two coalition partners that have yet to be vanquished.

The Islamic world aligned with the Third Reich, and this alliance "has largely been whitewashed from the pages of history," Pamela Geller reminds us:

Many Muslims fought on the German side during World War II. The Wehrmacht had six legions with a Muslim majority and the SS had three Muslim divisions, a brigade and a Waffenbrigade. Each Muslim unit got a mullah as an adviser. In November 1944, an SS mullah school was established in Dresden, founded by Himmler.

The end goal for Soros, long the preeminent funder of the Left, is to weaken America by making the country safe for Islam, a fascistic, religion-like ideology founded by Muhammad in the seventh century after the birth of Christ. Soros urges the dissolution of borders and demands that the U.S. accept unlimited immigration, including from regions that produce people who hate America and its values and founding principles.

A constellation of well-heeled funders are part of a long-term campaign aimed at making the tenets of Islam acceptable in American society and glossing over the problems associated with importing terrorism-prone Muslims. The 86-year-old Soros, whose estimated net worth is now at a record $24.9 billion, is by far the wealthiest of these funders.

Secret internal documents from Soros's primary philanthropic vehicle, Open Society Foundations (OSF), were hacked by DCLeaks and published on the group's website this past weekend.

One memorandum dated Jan. 12, 2011, bears the subject line "U.S. Models for Combating Xenophobia and Intolerance." It is included in the document bundle labeled "Extreme Polarization and Breakdown in Civic Discourse."

The memo identifies a plan that calls upon the Center for American Progress (CAP), founded by Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, to combat a phantom the Left calls "Islamophobia." This neologism is wielded as a cudgel against those who dislike Islam and those who are merely skeptical of it. Leftists are determined to stamp out criticism of Islam, and they have an army of nonprofit organizations, foundations, academics, media outlets, and name-calling activists to help them.

The 57-member state Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is onboard with attacking Islamophobia. It wants to outlaw all criticism of Islam in every country on planet Earth. Such criticism is not only blasphemous but also defamatory, according to Islamic thinking.

The memo states:

We need a clearer understanding of what by all indications is a well-orchestrated and well financed system by which right-wing think tanks, pundits, and politicians are able to introduce false narratives and flawed research into the media cycle and use their misinformation to manipulate public opinion and thwart progressive counterterrorism policies.

It describes the "Examining Anti-Muslim Bigotry Project" espoused by the Center for American Progress. The project would:

(1) study anti-Muslim bigotry in the public discourse and respond on a rapid response basis throughout the 10-month grant period using CAP's state of the art communications platform; (2) conduct investigative research on the Islamophobia movement and issue a major report on its findings in the first quarter of 2011; and (3) convene in the first quarter of 2011 two dozen experts, including representatives of progressive organizations and the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian-American (AMEMSA) community, to formulate strategies for combating anti-Muslim xenophobia.

It also indicates that CAP "will research and track the activities of the most prominent drivers of Islamophobia," including "David Horowitz's Freedom Center," Stop Islamization of America led by Pamela Geller, Foundation for Defense of Democracies led by Cliff May, and Liz Cheney's group Keep America Safe. CAP will also examine "the role played by right-wing media, the Tea Party movement, prominent politicians, pundits, and conservative donors in spreading anti-Muslim hysteria."

CAP took Soros's money and did his bidding. Even today CAP is working hard to convince Americans that this make-believe mental illness of Islamophobia is a threat to American democracy and pluralism. CAP claims a $57 million network "is fueling Islamophobia in the United States." The group created a sophisticated, flashy website (Islamophobianetwork.com) that identifies leading alleged Islamophobes. The site draws upon "Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America," a 2011 CAP report, and "Fear, Inc. 2.0: The Islamophobia Network's Efforts to Manufacture Hate in America," a CAP report from 2015.

CAP warns that there is "a small, tightly networked group of misinformation experts guiding an effort that reaches millions of Americans through effective advocates, media partners, and grassroots organizing." These people, particularly a handful of key individuals and their organizations, spread "hate and misinformation."

The Podesta-founded Center's top six targets for vilification are: David Horowitz, founder and CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center (DHFC); Robert Spencer, co-founder of Stop Islamization of America, director of the DHFC-affiliated Jihad Watch, and vice president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative; Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy (CSP); Steven Emerson, founder and executive director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT); Daniel Pipes, founder and president of the Middle East Forum (MEF); and David Yerushalmi, founder of the Society of Americans for National Existence (SANE), and general counsel for CSP and Stop Islamization of America.

The site also directs fire at author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born ex-Muslim who is a fierce critic of Islam.

Although political correctness dictates that Hirsi Ali's opinions should be given greater weight because she is female, black, an immigrant, and a victim of violence (female genital mutilation), she is too important a target to ignore. The CAP-created website notes disapprovingly that she calls Islam "a destructive, nihilistic cult of death" and says we will lose the fight against terrorism "unless we realize that it's not just with extremist elements within Islam, but the ideology of Islam itself."

The website tries to discredit its targets by stating or implying, often without offering any proof, that they are "radical right-wing," ignorant, misinformed, paranoid, or bigoted. It smears CSP's Gaffney, for example, claiming he "makes unsubstantiated claims," and publishes commissioned papers whose authors knowingly arrive at "exaggerated and incorrect conclusions."

The site claims Robert Spencer "is the primary driver in promoting the myth that peaceful Islam is nonexistent and that violent extremism is inherent within traditional Islam." It quotes Spencer saying Islam "is the only major world religion with a developed doctrine and tradition of warfare against unbelievers."

The site attacks David Horowitz, approvingly quoting the Southern Poverty Law Center which has dubbed him "the godfather of the anti-Muslim movement." The site also pillories Horowitz for saying that "virtually every major Muslim organization in America is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, the fountainhead of Islamic terror," and for amplifying the voices of "fellow anti-Muslim bigots and their schemes of conspiracies and threats."

And it claims the DHFC, which publishes FrontPage, "promoted the myth that Muslim extremists infiltrated an array of political organizations on both the left and the right."

Soros's "U.S. Models for Combating Xenophobia and Intolerance" memo is both an important leftist document and a window into the thinking of Soros operatives. It shows their preference for far-left talking points over the dispassionate analysis of facts. It also ought to disabuse any readers of the notion that OSF, formerly known as the Open Society Institute, is bursting with good people with good intentions. Many of these people viscerally hate those who disagree with them, viewing them not merely as ignorant or misguided, but as evil.

The memo is also a character assassination roadmap that enlists the assistance of disreputable left-wing groups including Media Matters for America, Muslim Public Affairs Council, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Addressed to OSF president (now president emeritus) Aryeh Neier, the memo is from OSF staffers Ann Beeson, Nancy Chang, and Raquiba LaBrie – all lawyers and veteran social justice warriors – plotting to smear those who dare to tell the truth about Islam. It lays out a plan "to counter xenophobia and intolerance in the U.S."

ACLU alumna Beeson replaced current Democracy Alliance president Gara LaMarche in 2007 as U.S. Programs director at OSF. She now runs of the Center for Public Policy Priorities in Austin, Texas. Chang managed OSF's National Security and Human Rights Campaign but it wasn't clear at time of writing if she still worked at OSF. She was previously senior litigation attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, a virulently anti-American public interest law firm. Harvard-trained LaBrie is director of philanthropy at L+M Development Partners in New York City and a board member of the Urban Justice Center.

The 2011 strategy memo is a template for a well-funded smear campaign against critics of Islam, associating them with the shooting that January of then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). The attack "provides a grim backdrop to U.S. Programs' consideration of rising xenophobia and intolerance." The shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, turned out to be a paranoid left-winger.

The memo sets the stage by repeating the long ago debunked Daily Kos-originated smear that Sarah Palin, "the most visible Tea Party leader," somehow caused the mass shooting in which Giffords was severely wounded because she supposedly contributed to the "extreme and violent rhetoric [that] pervades our political discourse."

It regurgitates the leftist article of faith that "prejudice against Muslims, Latinos, African Americans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, and other minorities is growing in a climate of fear, anger, and economic uncertainty." It blames "anti-Muslim bigotry" for opposition to the construction of an "Islamic community center" at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan. It claims that "[c]able television channels, talk radio and political blogs pander to people's fears and privilege expression of extreme views."

America is a fetid hellhole of racial and religious hatred, the memo continues.

There is "growing intolerance and fragmentation in U.S. society" and it is important to examine the "full range of actions from rhetoric to harassment to violence perpetrated by government officials and private individuals, or embodied in laws or policies." More money "should be devoted to uncovering the connections between individual actors, hate groups and extremist ideologies."

The memo authors recommend that Open Society Foundations contribute $200,000 of the project's $225,000 budget. It states that as of that point in time OSF had given a total of $6,759,991 to CAP. However, IRS filings show that if OSF grants and grants from Soros's other philanthropy, the Foundation to Promote Open Society, are combined, the total amount given to CAP rises to $10,541,376.

The OSF grant to CAP does not appear in philanthropy databases. Three separate $200,000 grants – two in 2011 and one in 2013 – to CAP for an "anti-Muslim bigotry" project do appear but they come from the Foundation to Promote Open Society.

Another OSF memo from April 26, 2010 ("Strategic Opportunities Fund – May 3, 2010 Docket Recommendation") urges funding for the absurdly named Free Exchange on Campus Coalition which it states was created three and a half years earlier "to counter vigorous assaults on freedom of expression."

OSF acknowledges it approved a $150,000 grant for FECC in 2009 and planned to give an additional $110,500 to its apparent fiscal sponsor, the American Federation of Teachers Educational Foundation. "Because FECC does not have its own 501c3 status, the coalition members decided to house the staff coordinator position at the American Federation of Teachers Educational Foundation," the planning document states.

FECC was founded after an OSF-hosted meeting in 2006 "following which leading faculty, student and civil liberties organizations launched Free Exchange on Campus Coalition (FECC) as a joint effort to counter conservative activists and their allies' ideological assault on higher education."

At that time "assaults on free exchange on campuses ... included public relations efforts to undermine popular support for the academy, on-campus student campaigns, and efforts to pass state and federal legislation, based upon the David Horowitz Freedom Center's 'Academic Bill of Rights' (ABOR) proposal, to place restrictions on higher education."

FECC began to organize students and faculty in key states to roll out a public communications strategy" and "played a major role in organizing students and faculty to oppose proposals to restrict the free exchange of ideas in Pennsylvania, Montana, Missouri, Virginia, Iowa, Arizona, Georgia and Texas."

In fact the Academic Bill of Rights was drafted to protect students from abusive, indoctrination-oriented professors with the goal of returning the academy to traditional principles of open inquiry and true academic freedom that puts students and teachers on an equal footing.

Horowitz is also mentioned in an article from the OSF document dump called "9/11 at 10: Lessons Learned from Anti-Muslim Haters," by Faiz Shakir, at the time vice president of CAP. According to his LinkedIn profile he left CAP in June 2012 to become "New Media Director & Senior Adviser" to House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, and In March 2013 he became "Senior Adviser" to "U.S. Senate Majority [sic] Leader Harry Reid[.]" (The article is one of several in a PDF file called "tab-7-usp-board-articles-oct-2011[.]")

Shakir describes Horowitz as one of "a host of grassroots organizers and activists" who disseminates the work of "anti-Muslim experts." After that, "[m]edia voices on the right-Fox News, National Review, and hate radio hosts like Michael Savage-then amplify the Islamophobic rhetoric. Ultimately, right-wing political actors like Newt Gingrich and Rep. Allen West (R-FL) help mainstream the ugly prejudice."

Shakir adds:

The lesson is simple: We need to isolate the Islamophobia network. That means demanding the media not give a platform to this small cadre of voices. That also means demanding that politicians divorce themselves from the network's propaganda. It's possible.

Shakir's right. It is possible to smear and intimidate people who want to speak the truth.

The Left, surfing on a tidal wave of Soros money, does it every day.

US Code Title 18, Section 2017

 I would like to share with you the following US Code as it relates to Hillary Clinton and her handling of emails on her private server.

She has lied again and again and then lied yet again to cover up the first set of lies. 

Do you really feel that she is qualified to serve as president if elected?

U.S. Code Title 18, Section 2017
Word for word from the Cornell Law Library

Former United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey tells MSNBC that not only is Hillary Clinton's private email server illegal,

it "disqualifies" her from holding any federal office.

Such as, say, President of the United States. Very specifically points to one federal law, Title 18. Section 2071.

For those of us who do not have United States Code committed to memory, here's what it says:
(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term"office" does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

Yes, it explicitly states "shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States."
Shouldn't voters know that? The media won't tell them. So it's up to us. Can you help hold Hillary accountable? Pass this on, please.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MR KAHN

The following are not my words, they are words that no one could better use to express the feelings of Americans who understand what the reality of life is and who understand that Evil is alive and well and walking the earth. I hope you will read and share:

This is copied from Fox News who got it from the author’s website.  I just wish Trump could put his sentiments in words anywhere close to this gentleman.  I’d feel a LOT better about voting  for him as the lesser of two evils. 

It is a little long but you will never see or hear about it on any of the mainstream media.  It doesn’t fit their “picture” of the world.  If you agree, please feel free to forward to your friends with the caveat that I did indeed copy it from Fox News.  Some folks break out in hives when they hear that term. 

Editor's note: The following column originally appeared on the website US Defense Watch. It is reprinted with permission. 

Dear Mr. Khan,

I, like millions of Americans saw your speech at the DNC on Thursday night.

I wish to offer my sympathy for the death of your son, Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in action in Iraq.

As a former US Army officer, and a veteran of the Gulf War, I can certainly understand the pain and anguish that you and your wife endure every day.

Your son died saving the lives of his fellow soldiers. As Jesus told his disciples, according to the Gospel of John, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Captain Khan is a hero. I am sure the soldiers he served with regard him as one. I know you and your wife do. Rest assured that millions of veterans regard your son as a hero as well.

To paraphrase from the Book of Ecclesiasticus, your son’s name liveth for evermore.

Your son made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, a country that was new to you and your family and one which you openly embraced and certainly love.

When you and your family arrived to America from Pakistan, you assimilated into our country. You adopted American ways, learned our history and apparently you even acquired a pocket Constitution along the way. Good for you sir.

But, there are many Muslims in America who not only have no desire to assimilate, but wish to live under Sharia Law.  That is unacceptable to Americans. There is only one law of the land. That is the U.S. Constitution.

As you well know, Mr. Khan, we live in violent times, dangerous times. Muslim madmen from ISIS and other radical Jihadi groups are on a murder and terror spree across the globe.  Your religion of peace, Islam, is anything but that in 2016. That is a fact that is confirmed every time a Muslim shoots, bombs, beheads and tortures innocent men, women and children. This does not mean that every Muslim is a terrorist, but most terrorists, sir, are indeed Muslims.

A Muslim terrorist attack has become the sign of the times.

Regardless of what the feckless, naïve, leftist ideologue Barack Obama and his dimwitted colleagues John Kerry, Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel state, the United States and the West are at war with Radical Islam. It is the job of the president of the United States to protect his nation from all enemies; foreign and domestic. Unfortunately, Mr. Obama romanticizes Islam and refuses to accept reality, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent people across the world.

Groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda have one goal, the complete destruction of the Judeo-Christian culture, our religions and our way of life.

Many Americans have families that have been here for decades, even centuries. Many families like mine have relatives who fought in the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. Some families have relatives who fought in the American Revolution.

We don’t plan on letting our country be devoured by Muslim maniacs. We are Americans sir, and not unarmed, socialist European zombies. We will do what is necessary to protect the United States. While many Democrats and liberals see the world through rose colored glasses, conservatives understand that there is good and evil in this world. Evil must be destroyed before it destroys us.  Strong measures, wartime measures, must be taken to protect this country from those that wish to annihilate us and our way of life.

Mr. Trump’s plan to temporarily halt immigration from Muslim countries that are known to either support terrorism or harbor terrorist groups is not only pragmatic, but indeed it is constitutional. It is the constitutional duty of the president of the United States to protect this nation.

There is simply no way to vet hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees from war zones like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Europe is being destroyed because reckless leaders like Angela Merkel have opened the continent’s doors to a flood of over one million undocumented Muslims arriving with nothing more than a bad attitude and a haversack of Jihad.

Do you think Americans are stupid? While the left lives in a dream world, the right does not. Mr. Trump understands the threat to his nation and the threat, sir, is not from Swedish Lutherans named Anna and Lars. The threat, sir, is from radical Islam.

How in God’s name are U.S. immigration authorities supposed to know the true intentions of a 22-year-old Syrian man? It is impossible. You know it is impossible.

How in God’s name are U.S. immigration authorities supposed to know the true intentions of hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and thousands of other sundry Muslims who wish to arrive on our shores?

It is impossible. You know it is impossible.

Whether you, your wife, the Muslim world and millions of Democrats are offended by Mr. Trump’s realistic view of the world is irrelevant.

Whether you, your wife and son would have been prohibited from emigrating from Pakistan to America under Mr. Trump’s wartime plan is irrelevant. The security of this great land supersedes your desires and the desires of others who wish to come here now. The United States of America has no obligation to open its doors in order to placate foreigners and liberals in our government.

To adopt any other course but Mr. Trump’s would be a cause for further endangering the lives of Americans every day. That, sir, is unacceptable.

You attacked Mr. Trump in front of a worldwide audience, yet you can’t understand the fact that he defends himself against attacks from you, Hillary Clinton and the left. What else is one to do sir?

We must live in a world of reality, not a world of denial, delusion and fantasy the Democrats inhabit every waking day of their lives.

Radical Islam is the enemy of everyone on this planet who believes in freedom and justice. Until it is destroyed, this nation must protect itself from enemies both foreign and domestic.

The Clintons and the Kahns

Most everyone who keeps up with politics is very much aware of the political trick which the DNC (Hillary) pulled on Trump at their convention when they introduced the Kahns to talk about the loss of their son in a military attack while in service our country.

While no one can help but feel the pain of any parents who loses  a son or daughter to war it is sad when those very parents use their child's death for political purposes.
When Mr. Kahn turned his  full attack on Donald Trump because he (Trump) believes we should not continue to accept immigrants from an Isis area where they cannot be background checked it could pretty well be expected that Trump would fight back and Hillary's media was waiting with their charges that he was attacking a poor grieving family.

Well it would seem that the relationship between Mr Kahn and the Clintons runs deep. Also his connections  with Saudi Arabia, who The Clintons have received millions of dollars from, is well documented.
I found an article this morning relating to the subject and then there is an email which I received this morning. I hope you will follow up on this. There is a serious attack being waged against Donald Trump both by Hillary Clinton and her minions and the majority of the media.
In case you don't believe the media is totally for Hillary, did you know that 90% of journalist donate to the democrat party and are admitted liberals.

And the email:

"Does this surprise anyone??????

Just thought everyone should know...because our news media will NEVER tell you.

A friend did research on the Muslim father (that Trump spoke of in a negative light), Mr Kahn, and here's what was found...

"The law firm for which Kahn worked just COINCIDENTALLY (yeah, right) is also the law firm for the Royal Court of Saudi Arabia, the tax lawyers for Bill & Hillary Clinton (and the Clinton Foundation) and also where Loretta Lynch worked. Oh yeah, they also represent a small tech firm in Denver, CO. (yes, the same little firm that "managed" Hillary's private server)"

The COLLUSION AND CORRUPTION RUNS DEEPER THAN IMAGINABLE my friends!!! ...no wonder the media is falling all over itself to defend this man."

I hope you will read and share.

Thanks you
