Michael Savage: Obama Should Face ‘Nuremberg Trial’ For ‘Crimes Against America’ (VIDEO)
Michael Savage, host of the Savage Nation, author of “Government Zero” and best-selling author, joined Steve Malzberg on Newsmax TV to discuss his latest book.
Michael Savage weighed in on Barack Obama’s lawlessness and proposed a Nuremberg-style trial against this president.
Wherever you go the political calls, the .0001%ers who answer only to Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, you name it, George Soros, they run the show. There is no democracy. You know it. Sure we had big victories yesterday. Every election: down on marijuana, down on this absurdity of having men walk around women’s locker rooms under the guise that they feel like a woman. All of this insanity was thrown out in Houston. Pot was thrown out. You name it, big turnout. Big conservative wins. Just like in 2014, remember what happened? This thing in the White House who says it’s a small minority of people. Said to the people, “Go to hell, your vote doesn’t count. I’ll do what I want anyway.” We’re living in a dictatorship. We need an impeachment right now. And more than that Steven, I’ve been calling on my show in the last few days, I’m so pissed off, for more than impeachment because I know that can’t happen. Remember the Nuremburg trials in World War II for what the Nazis had done to the world? It sounds extremist but it really isn’t. We need a Wichita People’s Trial in America, conducted by the people online: prosecution, defense, jury. Is Obama guilty of crimes against America? How about listing 15 of them including violating the Constitution every which way but Sunday.

Thank you so much for this Post! Sometimes, in all candor, Michael Savage can be pretty scary; not this time -- he's right on the money.
Crimes committed by Traitor Obama against "We The People" are too numerous to begin to list; I'd have to start looking them up! Of course,Crimes committed against Our Allies, the whole Western World, and even people throughout The Whole Earth, plus all living creatures, flora and fawna, aquatic life.....it just goes on and on
Barack Hussein Obama creates nothing and tries desperately and Unconstitutionally to destroy everything in his path!
May God Help Us All! God Bless America!!!
"...with Liberty and Justice for All",

Carson trips over US-Cuba policies
By Mark Hensch
Getty ImagesNew GOP presidential front-runner Ben Carson had trouble Wednesday answering questions about U.S.-Cuba policies, a report Wednesday says.
Carson admitted during an interview that he was in the dark on policies toward those coming to the U.S. from the island nation, according to The Miami Herald.
“You’re going to have to explain to me exactly what you mean by that,” he said when quizzed by the Herald on the so-called wet-foot, dry-foot policy.
“I have to admit I don’t know a great deal about that, and I don’t really like to comment until I’ve had a chance to study the issue from both sides,” Carson said of the rule letting Cubans who reach U.S. soil stay here.
He then stumbled over the Cuban Adjustment Act, which permits Cubans to apply for legal residency after 366 days in the U.S.
“Again, I’ve not been briefed fully on what that is,” the retired neurosurgeon said.
“It sounds perfectly reasonable,” he added upon learning the act’s details.
The Miami Herald next questioned Carson about the possibility that some Cubans obtain residency and then abuse federal government benefits by frequently returning to Cuba.
“I think the way to fix that is not so much to abolish the act, but dealing with the specific area where the abuse is,” the White House hopeful responded, noting similar problems with Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
Carson additionally described the Obama administration’s diplomatic thaw with Havana earlier this year as a missed opportunity for improving human rights.
“I would certainly like to bring Cuba along, in terms of understanding how to treat people fairly,” he said.
“I think we’ve lost our leverage in doing so, because [Cuban leader] Raúl Castro’s 83 years old,” Carson said.
Castro is 84.
“He can’t be there much longer [and] they’re going to have a change in regime,” he added. "That would be the time to normalize relations.”
Carson’s remarks follow his debut atop the RealClearPolitics polling average earlier Wednesday. He is now the leader for next year’s GOP presidential nomination, having surpassed previous front-runner Donald Trump.
Florida, particularly the Miami area, has a significant Cuban-American population given its close proximity with the communist nation.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who hails from Miami, has said he think the Cuban Adjustment Act should be reconsidered.

Trump pokes fun at Carson's pyramid theory
By Jesse Byrnes
Donald Trump on Thursday poked fun at Ben Carson for his GOP presidential rival's theory that the Egyptian pyramids were used to store grain, not serve as tombs for pharaohs.
"I think I'll have to put that into my repertoire when I talk about Ben," the real estate tycoon said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"That was a strange ... that was a strange deal," Trump added.
BuzzFeed on Wednesday published a video of Carson’s 1998 commencement address at Andrews University, which was founded by Sevenths-day Adventists, during which he said he believed the biblical figure Joseph built the pyramids.
"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids in order to store grain," Carson said during the speech.
"Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs' graves. But you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don't think it'd just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain," he said.
Asked by CBS News on Wednesday, Carson, who is neck and neck with Trump in national polls for the Republican presidential nomination, said, "It's still my belief, yes."
"The pyramids were made in a way where they had hermetically sealed compartments," Carson said. "You would need that if you were trying to preserve grain over a long period of time."
CBS noted that Carson had in mind the seven years of plenty in Egypt referenced in the Bible, when "Joseph stored up grain in great abundance" and fed Egyptians and others during famine.

Right-wing media aims at Rubio
Getty ImagesSen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has a conservative media problem.
Rubio’s past support for immigration reform infuriated some of the big-name conservative media personalities who backed his upstart Tea Party bid in 2010, and they’re taking retribution now that he’s rising in the presidential polls.
Immigration hawks such as Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter appear unlikely to ever give Rubio a second chance.
Others, such as Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and Glenn Beck, appear enthused by Rubio’s political skills and ready to reconsider him.ADVERTISEMENT
It makes for a complicated media landscape for Rubio in the highly influential land of conservative talk radio and TV as he seeks to capitalize on momentum from his strong debate performances and subsequent rise in the polls.
“So many of these guys were on his side until he made that one big error in their eyes,” said Rich Noyes, a research director at the conservative Media Research Center. “Republican primary voters are conservative talk radio listeners, and what they hear has a reinforcing affect. It helps immensely to have them on your side, and immigration is his biggest problem with that.”
There are some influential conservative pundits with whom Rubio’s relationship appears beyond repair.
Ingraham, Malkin and Coulter consistently hammer Rubio for his past support for immigration reform and warn their audiences regularly that if elected president, he’ll fold on the issue.
They got more ammunition on that front when billionaire Republican Paul Singer, who supports immigration reform, announced last week he’d throw his financial support behind Rubio in the primary.
“What worries me really about Marco Rubio is Paul Singer, his big benefactor, who is [for] open borders, [is] terrible on social issues and, as far as I can tell, is more concerned about the globalism agenda than the issues that are the best for the American people,” Ingraham said on her Wednesday show. “That’s my concern.”
A day earlier, Ingraham played a sound bite from a Rubio interview on Univision in which he said one of President Obama’s executive actions on immigration could not be immediately repealed.
She teed up New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, one of Rubio’s rivals for the GOP nomination, by asking if that position should disqualify Rubio from the nomination.
“I don’t know why anyone would want to have someone who is not going to enforce the law as the chief law enforcement officer of the United States,” Christie responded.
Malkin has accused Rubio of being in the pocket of “his amnesty-peddling campaign donors,” while Coulter consistently rails against Rubio as a liar and traitor on the issue.
“Marco Rubio devoted his entire Senate career to pushing amnesty,” Coulter declared in a column on Townhall.com late last month.
Meanwhile, the conservative news website Breitbart has been hammering Rubio on a host of issues related to Singer.
“Pro-amnesty pundits pine for Ryan, Rubio moment,” said one recent headline, referring to new Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who has also been hit on this issue.
“Marco Rubio’s Wall Street sponsor Paul Singer dumped hundreds of thousands into Common Core,” said another.
Rubio’s transformation from a Tea Party conservative to a candidate with establishment appeal could be hurting him in the conservative media sphere, which caters to those with strong anti-establishment streaks.
For instance, two influential conservative media figures — Iowa radio host Steve Deace and Media Research Center President Brent Bozell — have already thrown their support behind White House hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
Meanwhile, Rubio has begun to scoop up endorsements from his Senate colleagues, landing big-money donors and earning rave reviews from Beltway conservative pundits, which could contribute to the skepticism.
“Some of these guys are just trying to crush him because he’s the biggest threat to the outsider threats they love,” said one Republican.
Still, it’s not all bad news for Rubio.
“A lot of these folks are predisposed to liking him,” said Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “A lot of conservative thought leaders really want to like him, but they still feel burned. He needs to make clear in unambiguous statements where he stands on immigration if he’s going to convince some of these opinion leaders to forgive him.”
Rubio has made considerable inroads among some of the biggest names in talk radio and TV, including Beck, Limbaugh, Levin and Hannity.
In 2013, at the height of the Gang of Eight immigration reform push, Beck tore into Rubio, calling him “a piece of garbage.”
But Rubio has continued to appear on Beck’s show, and Beck earlier this year acknowledged that “he may have been a little too harsh.” By September, Beck was so impressed by Rubio he declared a ticket of Rubio and businesswoman Carly Fiorina would be “gangbusters.”
Rubio has similarly improved relations with Hannity after admitting to him onstage at the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this year that he’d learned his lesson and would not seek comprehensive immigration reform without first focusing on securing the border.
“I’m over the issue with Rubio and immigration,” Hannity said on his radio show in September.
“It was part of a learning curve as a new senator, and I’m over it,” he said. “I think he’s very likely at some point in the future to be president of the United States. I really believe that. He’s got all of the great qualities that could be a great president.”
Levin has called Rubio “very engaging,” and Limbaugh has called him “instantly likeable,” “motivational” and “inspirational in a Reagan-esque way.”
Still, as Noyes pointed out, “They don’t forget.”
Late last month, Limbaugh was back to tying Rubio to “the donor-class agenda” of “amnesty.”
“The House leadership thinks it’s gonna be Jeb [Bush] or Rubio,” he said. “The dream: Jeb or Rubio in the White House; Ryan Speaker of the House. Then in the first 12 months of the Rubio or Jeb administration, first 12 to 18 months, the donor-class agenda is implemented, including amnesty and whatever else they want. That is the objective here. That’s what I think all this adds up to.”
Rubio’s campaign declined to comment.

Donald Trump's campaign released the first ads of his 2016 White House campaign Thursday, opting for radio instead of television.
The two ads, each a minute long, are a collection of the campaign promises made by the celebrity real estate tycoon.
"Donald Trump is running for president because politicians are all talk and no action. They will never make our country great again," a female voice says in the first ad.
That ad mentions stopping illegal immigration, building a wall on the southern border and forcing Mexico to pay for it, pushing for trade deals, building a military so strong that "no country will ever mess with us" and saying Trump will "brutally and quickly cut the head off of ISIS."
"It's time to make America great again. Maybe greater than ever before," the narrator says.
Trump reiterates many of the points in the second ad, which also mentions caring for veterans, saying, "My opponents have no experience in creating jobs or making deals"
The radio ads, which are significantly less expensive than TV spots, will air in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Many campaigns and their allied groups have spent millions securing ads in the early voting states, but Trump has touted his success so far getting free media attention for his campaign.
"Despite this great success, I am now going to start advertising," Trump said in announcing his radio ad buys, which the campaign said are "valued at $300,000" and would go until the end of November.
Trump first aired the ads on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Jindal’s struggle to stand out
By Ben Kamisar
Greg NashLouisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal may be miles away from the GOP presidential nomination, but he’s the only undercard candidate making a play in an early-nominating state.
A new Iowa survey from Public Policy Polling (PPP) puts Jindal in the top five, ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and businesswoman Carly Fiorina.
He has held more events in the Hawkeye State than all but former Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.), the 2012 Iowa caucus winner who has also been trapped in the undercard debates but hasn’t gained traction.ADVERTISEMENT
With limited funding and a crowded lane for the evangelical vote, Jindal faces an almost insurmountable hole in other primaries. But he has put virtually all his chips down in Iowa as he adheres to the playbook that has, in the past, rewarded the long shot.
“Where he is spending his time speaks volumes as to where he thinks his best opportunities exist. He’s been a constant presence around the state this entire year,” said former Iowa Republican Party Chairman Matthew Strawn, who is not affiliated with any candidate.
“I joked to somebody [this week] that when I sat down to dinner with my family over the weekend, I half expected Gov. Jindal to be at the table as well.”
Jindal’s campaign has held 122 events in Iowa over 70 days, according to The Des Moines Register, and his 70 days spent on the ground are more than any other candidate on either side of the aisle. An aide told The Hill he has four paid staffers in the state, compared to 10 for Jeb Bush.
“You hunt where the ducks are. The first votes are going to be cast in Iowa, so that’s where we are focusing our time,” Kyle Plotkin, Jindal’s communications director, told The Hill.
“If there was a national primary, we would sit in green rooms in New York and in D.C. and focus on that. … Our play is to hustle on the ground in Iowa, meet as many people as possible, make our case, and we’ve seen that start to pay dividends in the polls.”
It’s the only play for a candidate with limited resources. Jindal’s campaign raised less than $600,000 for the third fundraising quarter, less than the $830,000 it spent, with only $260,000 on hand.
His allied super-PAC, with $2.5 million reported on hand as of the last reporting period in July, has helped to buoy his bid in Iowa. It has held at least 30 different town halls inviting Jindal to speak with Iowans since he launched his bid, according to the group’s online events listing.
“That’s the purpose of Iowa. It allows people without
extraordinary PAC, super-PAC or own personal resources to potentially break through,” said Doug Gross, former chief of staff to Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad (R).“It’s a caucus state, so it has a relatively few number of participants, and you can do a lot of face time with those people to effectively shrink the electorate,” said Gross, who is not connected to a campaign.
Plotkin said the strategy is to use the momentum from a strong showing at the Iowa caucuses to ramp up support in the Southern belt of states, nicknamed the “SEC primary” after the collegiate athletic conference in the region.
“When you really think about it, SEC states make total sense. He’s a Southerner. South Carolina, similar values to Bobby,” he said.
“Compared to folks who have just bet it all on Iowa in the past, they have had trouble with the rest of the primary map.”
Jindal is still a far cry from the top echelon in the Hawkeye State, with GOP candidates Donald Trump and Ben Carson continuing to dominate, and his polling is still inconsistent. The RealClearPolitics average of recent polling shows him tied with former Gov. Mike Huckabee (Ark.), the 2008 caucus winner, in seventh place with about 3 percent.
Even if Trump and Carson’s campaigns collapse, it’s still not likely that voters break for Jindal in droves instead of candidates such as Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), who is in third place in recent Iowa polls. There is a wealth of Republican candidates fighting for an evangelical vote that made up almost 60 percent of 2012 caucus-goers.
But the Jindal camp is encouraged by the recent uptick in support in Iowa, a marked improvement from his national appeal.
The PPP poll showed him tied with Huckabee for fifth place at 6 percent, and a Loras College poll from last week showed him ahead of Huckabee and Fiorina with 5 percent compared to their 1 and 2 percent, respectively. That put Jindal just 1 point behind Cruz for fifth place.
And most recent polls, even those where he doesn’t perform as well show him toward the top of the field in favorability.
Jindal has been a permanent fixture of the undercard debates, never scoring above 2 percent in a major national poll since he started his presidential bid and frequently failing to garner even a percent.
His campaign’s pleas to include early-state polling in debate rankings — he’s the only undercard candidate who has any momentum in an early-nominating state — have fallen on deaf ears.
Strategists agree that his bid has been severely hampered by his absence on the main stage. But since there’s no sign that networks will give in, the Jindal campaign has to just keep on trucking.
“Even though we’ve been in the first debate, or whatever you want to call it, our message and our work in Iowa is still resonating,” Plotkin said.
“Every inch matters for us, and that’s how we are approaching it.”
