Donald Trump: Politicians Who Push Gun Control Don’t Understand the...

Politicians who push gun control are usually communists. I think they understand exactly what they are trying to do!

VIDEO=> Thousands Cheer As Bernie Sanders Calls For “Transforming America” And A “Political Revolution”
If you’ve ever wondered if it was possible if an openly Socialist leader could attract thousands of Americans who would willingly cheer for the destruction of their own liberty, you now have your answer.
Democratic Socialist presidential candidate, Bernice Sanders is not shy about his beliefs. As a matter of fact he is very honest about his dreams to transform America by throwing a political revolution. But what should concern every real American, every person who values liberty and private property, is the disturbing trend of Sander’s ability to attract thousands of people who cheer at his every word.
During a campaign stop in Springfield, Massachusetts on Saturday, Bernie Sanders drew 6,000 people to the city’s MassMutual Center. Reminiscent of Socialist leaders of the past, thousands cheered as Sanders promised if he’s elected he, and they, will transform the United States:
Comment begins at 1:26:
“Some of the beltway establishment types were saying, “Who in America is prepared to stand up to the billionaire class and transform America?” (Crowd Cheers) Turns out there is a lot of people in Springfield, Massachusetts and across this country who are prepared to do exactly that.” (Crowd Cheers)
But some of the loudest cheering erupted from the crowd as Sanders repeated one of his campaign tag lines by calling for a “political revolution”:
Comment begins at 4:33:
“Let me tell you something else no other presidential candidate will tell you. It’s a simple truth. It’s a painful truth. That truth is no President of the United States, not Bernie Sanders or anyone else, can do what has to be done to rebuild the crumbling middle class in this country unless we have a political revolution.”
If the comments on the uploaded video are any indication, America is rife with the lovers of Socialism who’ve obviously flunked World History and are either ignorant of the tyrannical history of collectivism, or are naive enough to buy into the failed belief that this time Bernie will do Socialism “right”.

Chaffetz: 'I want a Speaker who speaks'
By Jesse Byrnes
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) on Monday argued that he was best suited to become the next Speaker, highlighting his speaking ability over favorite Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)."I'm arguing that one of my strong suits is actually going on camera and going before the media and making the case to the American people," Chaffetz said during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe.""I want a speaker who speaks," Chaffetz said. "I think that's what our conference wants."

This week: House GOP chooses new leadership
By Cristina Marcos and Jordain Carney
For the second time in less than a year, House Republicans will select a new leadership hierarchy this week.
House GOP Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) has indicated that closed-door elections will be held at noon Thursday for Speaker and “any other vacancies that may occur.”
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is the frontrunner to win his party’s nomination to succeed retiring John Boehner (R-Ohio) as Speaker. He faces long-shot challenges from House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.).
Republicans will only have to vote for a new majority leader if McCarthy wins the Speaker race. And a whip race would occur if House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) is chosen to replace McCarthy as leader over Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-Ga.).
Thursday’s election will be the easy part for McCarthy if he wins the nomination. The full House must vote to elect a new Speaker, which requires 218 votes. That floor vote isn’t expected until the end of October, around the time Boehner steps down from Congress.
House GOP leaders also plan to host a “listening session” on Tuesday to discuss possible conference rule changes, such as requiring anyone running for a new leadership post to resign their current slot. Possible votes on changing rules could come Wednesday.
The process may feel familiar to House Republicans, who voted to select a new majority leader last June after Eric Cantor (R-Va.) lost his primary election.
Defense bill
The Senate is turning to an annual defense bill this week, despite a looming veto threat.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) teed up a procedural vote on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Tuesday after the House-Senate conference committee released its final proposal last week.
Democrats have vowed to block any spending bills, and the Republican leader told reporters that he hopes "we're not going to see this stunt" on the defense bill.
While the NDAA doesn't appropriate any money, Democrats oppose it because of an extra $38 billion included in war funding.
Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, called the additional money a "gimmick" meant to let the Defense Department leapfrog over congressionally-mandated spending caps.
But it's unclear if Senate Democrats will try to filibuster the bill. The Senate's version of the NDAA passed earlier this year by a 71-25 vote, meaning they would need to flip more than a dozen Democrats to oppose the bill.
A Senate aide suggested that the bigger focus was on keeping the legislation from getting 67 votes—the amount needed to override a potential veto.
If the legislation makes it to Obama's desk, the White House has pledged that he would veto the bill.
While the president has threatened to veto the legislation every year he's never sent the bill back to Congress. If he does it will be the fifth veto he's used during his time in office.
Senators aren’t expected to take a procedural vote on the NDAA until Tuesday. The Senate will convene at 4 p.m. Monday, with a vote on Dale Drozd's nomination to be a U.S. district judge for the Eastern District of California expected at 5:30 p.m.
Crude oil export ban
The House will vote Friday on legislation to allow crude oil exports from the United States and lift the decades-old ban.
Republicans argue repealing the ban would benefit the economy and national security, while Democrats warn it could interfere with energy prices.
President Obama will likely threaten to veto the bill. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said earlier this month that the administration supports the current export restrictions.
Lawmakers will also consider a bill authored by Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) on Thursday to streamline the process for obtaining appraisals and permits on Native American and Alaska Native lands.

Report: Koch brothers taking 'serious look' at Fiorina
By Jesse Byrnes
Billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch are taking a "serious look" at GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, Reuters reports, citing unidentified sources close to the megadonors.
The brothers are eyeing the former chief executive at Hewlett-Packard following her high-profile performance in the second GOP debate last month, according to the news service.
Fiorina, along with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), are reportedly among those on a short list of potential candidates the Kochs may support. Rubio has also risen in polls in recent weeks.
Reuters noted that a Koch Industries PAC helped sponsor a fundraiser for Fiorina's 2010 Senate run in California and donated $10,000 to her campaign against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.).
Spokespeople for the Kochs and Fiorina declined to comment for the report.
The former HP executive is second only to Donald Trump in the early voting state of New Hampshire, trailing the businessman by 5 points there in a poll released Sunday.
Fiorina also comes in third in the crowded GOP field in Iowa, the NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll found, following Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

Arizona sheriff launches bid for Congress
By Scott Wong
Courtesy Paul BabeuAfter months of flirting with another congressional bid, Arizona sheriff Paul Babeu tells The Hill he’s officially jumping in the race to replace outgoing Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.).
“I spent a number of years fighting Washington’s inaction. Now it’s time to bring that fight directly to our nation’s capital,” Babeu, the Republican two-term Pinal County sheriff and border-security hawk, said in a phone interview.
“People are pissed off about what’s going on in America and they are tired of electing politicians who break their promises and their oath,” he continued. “I’m one who raised my right hand, swore my oath countless times to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. And I’ve done that.”
An Iraq War veteran and former police officer, Babeu is the third Republican to join the race for Arizona's 1st Congressional District, one of the largest and most competitive districts in the country. Former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett and wealthy rancher Gary Kiehne are already running.
Arizona state House Speaker David Gowan is taking a look at the race as well.
Former state lawmaker Tom O’Halleran is the only declared candidate on the Democratic side. He served in the statehouse as a Republican and later registered as an independent before announcing this year he was running for Congress as a Democrat.
Kirkpatrick, a centrist Democrat, is leaving the House to challenge longtime GOP Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the chairman of the powerful Armed Services Committee.
Babeu, 46, is well known throughout the state. A staunch McCain ally, Babeu helped author the senator’s 10-point border security plan and appeared in McCain’s famous “Complete the Danged Fence” campaign ad in 2010. Cable news outlets frequently turn to him to discuss immigration issues.
But Babeu also carries enormous political baggage into the campaign. During his 2012 bid for Congress, a Mexican immigrant, Jose Orozco, accused the sheriff of threatening to deport him if he revealed their romantic relationship. Orozco also released compromising photos of the conservative sheriff, as well as text messages between them.
Babeu, who came out as gay, was exonerated of any wrongdoing by the state attorney general. He easily won a second term as sheriff in 2012.
In the interview, Babeu called that period a “very difficult time,” but he maintained he told the truth through it all.
“At the end of the day, I want to be judged on my merit, my performance, like every other American. The voters of my county reelected me amidst all that controversy and false allegations,” said Babeu, who pointed out he is the only lawman and military veteran in the race.
“The people here know me,” he added. “Our country, the people and Republicans are far more accepting, and they are not narrow-focused and -minded as people portray them to be.”
Arizona is a key border state that's seen its share of high-profile immigration battles, and Babeu believes he’d bring an important voice and perspective to Congress.
“This is why you don’t need just another politician to go to Washington,” he said. “We need a sheriff in Washington that understands these issues, that can articulate what’s really happening, and formulate a plan … to secure that border.”
Babeu said he’ll also fight against overreach by the Environmental Protection Agency, and stress that it’s harmed jobs and the Arizona economy. And, given the congressional district’s vast forests, he’s concerned about managing forests and protecting against wildfires.

Clinton lashes out at Republicans for seeking to ‘exploit’ Benghazi
By Jonathan Easley
Getty ImagesHillary Clinton on Monday accused Republicans of exploiting the deaths of four Americans in the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack to score political points against her.
Clinton pivoted from a question about whether she would have investigated a GOP administration if Dick Cheney or Karl Rove had used a private email account and server to blast Republicans.
“I would never have done that,” said an animated Clinton in an interview with NBC’s Samantha Guthrie in an interview on “The Today Show.”
“Look at the situation they chose to exploit to go after me for political reasons, the death of four Americans in Benghazi. I knew the ambassador [Chris Stevens]. I identified him. I asked him to go there. I asked the president to nominate him.
“There have been seven investigations, led mostly by Republicans in the Congress,” Clinton continued. “They were nonpartisan and they reached conclusions that, first of all, I and nobody did anything wrong, but there were changes we could make. This committee was set up, as they have admitted, for the purpose of making a partisan political issue out of the deaths of four Americans. I would never have done that. If I were president and there were Republicans or Democrats thinking about that, I would have done everything to shut it down.”
Clinton’s comments about GOP admissions that the House Select Committee on Benghazi had a political purpose was a reference to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who last week linked the committee with her falling poll numbers as GOP accomplishment.Democrats pounced on the remarks, saying Republicans had finally revealed that the panel’s true purpose is to damage Clinton politically, not investigate the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya.
Clinton will testify in front of the committee later this month, in what will be a critical moment for her presidential hopes.
On Monday, Clinton declined to follow the lead of some Democrats, like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who have called for the committee to be shut down in the wake of McCarthy’s remarks.
“I have to say that now that they’ve admitted it’s a political partisan committee for the sole purpose of going after me, not trying to make our diplomats who serve in dangerous areas safer, that’s up to the Congress,” Clinton said. “If they’re going to have it still running, I’ll be there, and I’m looking forward to answering questions about real things when I’m there.”
The Benghazi Select Committee is credited with revealing that Clinton used a private email account and server. The revelation has badly damaged Clinton, and contributed to her falling polling numbers, as an increasing number of people now say she’s not honest or trustworthy.http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/255894-clint...
