Israel

I am really starting to not like this country. They seem like the real bullies. And they know they can do whatever they want because America has their back.

Not a good sign for Dems in Ohio primary

Looks like Dewine received just as much votes in the Republican primary than the Democrats combined in their primary. And Taylor received almost as much as the Democratic winner.

Our turnout sucks!!

Uranium one deal

Remember when Trump and his Deplorables were saying that the Uranium One deal was pay to play because the company bought a Canadian company in 2007. The Canadian company was once lead by a guy no longer at the company who donated to the Clinton Foundation (before Clinton was even Sec of State).

Then in 2010 the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a committee of nine government cabinet Departments unanimously approved the deal. And Clinton wasn’t even part of decision.

I see like 5 degrees of separation, but somehow that was pay to play. But Donald Trump’s lawyer receiving money from ATT isn’t?

So we put sanctions on Iran, so what if other countries don’t?

CSU police release video, audio of alleged racial profiling incident on campus

Do you believe this is racial profiling or someone being vigilant? I know that when I am out in public I am very cautious of my surroundings and people (I think my military training did that to me). I don’t care what color a person is when it comes to suspicious behavior. Because with all the mass shootings and attacks going on, I think we all should be cautious. I would rather that mom call the police, than for A) something does happen or worse B) A “good” guy with a gun takes things into his own hands and confronts the teens.

Trump responds to McCain's funeral diss

Lying dying John McCain says that he doesn’t want me at his funeral. Wrong! He begged me to attend, but I told him I only like going to funerals of people who aren’t dead. He knows that if I showed up the tv ratings for his funeral would be massive. Sorry John, I will be at the Southern Whitehouse making America great again. You will just have to settle for Obama. Sad!

How The ACORN Scandal Seeded Today's Nightmare Politics

Good read. ACORN’s demise along with discriminatory voter ID laws was the main reason Trump won. This was the Republican plan when Obama won the election in 2008 by wide margins. They knew that the only way for them to win was to play the voter fraud card.

Liberty University

I am in the military and a lot of other military members I know are enrolled in Liberty. Me being politically astute, I am aware of this fake Christian school and it’s self righteous leader.

What pisses me off is that this “college” is treated as nonprofit and benefits from taxpayer money via the GI Bill, military Tuition Assistance, and US Dept of Education programs. The latter being hypocritical seeing that conservatives are constantly against those programs.

This school has become an online behemoth that rivals Phoenix University. The first three classes required before getting into your real classes are religious classes. These credits do not transfer which means that a student is essentially stuck.

3 American prisoners in North Korea being released

Of course trump is going to milk this, but why aren’t more people pointing out his tweet last night on this. Two of these prisoners were captured in May 2017 when Obama was not even in office.
