Politico is firing back at Donald Trump, who called the publication “one of the most dishonest organizations I’ve ever dealt with.”
They are totally not and almost all of MSM is dishonest!
To gain more traction with conservative Republican voters, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) has challenged Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) to “a one-on-one debate next week in Milwaukee,” according to a Washington Post report.
Gov. Moonbeam sent state workers to his family ranch to look for oil
By Dan Calabrese Full Story
California Gov. Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown believes that everyone needs to start using wind, solar and other “renewable” energy sources as soon as possible because, you know, the earth, man. California doesn’t need to be burning all kinds of oil and making bank for rich capitalists who own gigantic ranches with oil underneath them, ‘amiright’?
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is out with its most recent figures on drug, car, and gun deaths, and the numbers show that drug-related deaths far exceed car deaths, while car deaths exceed gun-related fatalities.
Is this another indication of the continuing push by Obama, et al, to completely Nationalize All Law Enforcement in Republic USA?
"We The People" would be wiser to see to the Enforcement of all Our Existing laws regarding Immigration and Naturalization, trafficking in drugs, human beings, and human body parts; adherence to Our Republic's Constitution, the removal from Office of all elected 'Officials' who refuse to uphold their respective oaths-of-office, including Barack Hussein Obama,Traitor, who must be Charged, Arrested and Prosecuted for the most high Crime of Treason!
A Wholly Nationalized/Federalized 'Police Force' is exactly what The Facista in D.C. want and is further evidence of the ever-growing Police State in America! Wake Up America! When they come for you, who will be there to 'save' you -- "No One"-- if we don't all work together to end the real invasion, the Alinsky-style attempt to overthrow "We The People", and suspend The Constitution of Republic USA!

Donald Trump continued his attacks on Dr. Ben Carson tonight on The O’Reilly Factor.
Trump has tweeted this week about Dr. Carson’s violent episodes as a child.
Donald Trump told Bill Carson is pathological:
He hit his mother over the head with a hammer. He hit his friends with a lock. he tried to kill somebody with a knife… That’s pahological.
Carson now admits his friend named "Bob," who he tried to stab (Bob was saved by his belt buckle!), no longer exists as Bob. Wrong name!
With Ben Carson wanting to hit his mother on head with a hammer, stab a friend and Pyramids built for grain storage - don't people get it?

It makes sense that Marco Rubio, the Republican establishment’s candidate would support Obamatrade.
…But, why Ben Carson?
The Wall Street Journal reported:
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Friday that he supports the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement negotiated by the White House – aligning himself more with the GOP’s establishment wing than with the social conservatives who have powered his campaign.
Mr. Carson’s backing of the 12-nation Pacific trade deal places him at odds with Donald Trump, his chief rival for support among anti-establishment Republicans. Mr. Carson had expressed skepticism about the TPP, saying in a June interview with the Huffington Post that he would not give President Barack Obama “fast-track” authority to negotiate the deal.
Now, a day after the White House posted the text of the TPP deal online, Mr. Carson’s campaign said Friday that he supports the final product.
Mr. Carson, spokesman Doug Watts said, “believes the agreement does help to level the playing field in key markets and is important to improve our ties to trading partners in Asia as a counterbalance to China’s influence in the region.” Mr. Watts said Mr. Carson is “now inclined to support TPP, with reservations.”
The Obamatrade law is very unpopular with conservatives.
It was a gift to Obama by the Boehner-McConnell Congress.
Speaker John Boehner refused to allow conservative Republican amendments to the Obamatrade deal – But he allowed Democrats to amend the legislation.
The law includes several global warming provisions to punish US businesses.

How’s this for a media double standard?
Barack Obama was either born in Kenya or he lied about it for years.
Breitbart.com published a 1991 booklet by Barack Obama’s literary agent today that says Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”
Here’s a screengrab from the booklet:
The liberal media later blamed the publisher, not Obama for giving the publisher the information.
But that same liberal media is calling neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson a liar for his stories of struggling as a child in inner city Detroit.
What a bunch of hypocritical trash!
Progressive Double Standard: @RealBenCarson is a liar but @BarackObama isn't a Kenyan.

New Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday he is “disappointed” with President Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline but that the U.S-Canada relationship is “bigger” than one contentious pipeline controversy.
“We are disappointed by the decision but respect the right of the United States to make the decision,” Trudeau said in a statement. “The Canada-U.S. relationship is much bigger than any one project and I look forward to a fresh start with President Obama to strengthen our remarkable ties in a spirit of friendship and cooperation.”
Trudeau’s Liberal Party supports Keystone but made clear during the country’s recent campaign that it wouldn’t be an especially high priority for his government.
“We know that Canadians want a government that they can trust to protect the environment and grow the economy,” he said Friday. “The Government of Canada will work hand-in-hand with provinces, territories and like-minded countries to combat climate change, adapt to its impacts, and create the clean jobs of tomorrow.”
Canada’s relationship with the United States is especially important to Trudeau.
Stephane Dion, the country’s new foreign minister, told reporters this week that the new government didn’t want the Keystone issue to sour relations between the two countries.
"We don't want it to be an irritant,” he said, the Toronto Star reported Thursday. “We understand the Americans have to look at this very closely."
Obama said he informed Trudeau of his Keystone decision on Friday morning. He repeated Trudeau’s message about the importance of the U.S.-Canadian relationship during a press conference.
“We both agreed that our close friendship on a whole range of issues, including energy and climate change, should provide the basis for even closer coordination between our countries going forward,” Obama said Friday.
“And in the coming weeks, senior members of my team will be engaging with theirs in order to help deepen that cooperation.”

Ben Carson is seeking to weather a barrage of media scrutiny and attacks from fellow candidates that have intensified with his ascension to the top of GOP polls.
The soft-spoken, retired neurosurgeon is pushing back hard at accusations that he has exaggerated stories
Surrounded by a mob of reporters late Friday evening, Carson characterized the growing attention to his past as a “witch hunt” aimed at derailing his candidacy.
“Here’s my prediction: My prediction is that all of you guys piling on is actually going to help me, because when I go out to these book signings and I see these thousands of people, they say, ‘Don’t let the media get you down,’ ” Carson said.
“I do not remember this level of scrutiny for one President Barack Obama when he was running,” he added. “In fact, I remember just the opposite.”
Carson’s bid for the presidency, once considered a long shot, has steadily gained momentum throughout the fall. After a slow and steady rise, he this week eclipsed Donald Trump in a closely watched average of national polls for the first time.
With the front-runner status has come the most intense scrutiny of Carson’s political career.
On Wednesday, BuzzFeed published a video of a 1998 speech where Carson shared his belief that Egyptian pyramids were used to store grain, not serve as tombs for pharaohs.
On Thursday, he was hit with a story from CNN questioning whether his tales of a violent upbringing had been embellished.
And on Friday, Carson found himself in a firestorm when Politico reported that his campaign had admitted “fabricating” the offer of a full scholarship to West Point.
Carson’s team reacted with fury, calling the report untrue. Politico said it stood by the story, but dropped the "fabrication" claim and specified that Carson had never applied or been admitted to West Point.
Carson wrote in his 1990 book "Gifted Hands" that that he "was offered a full scholarship to West Point" after meeting with the Army Gen. William Westmoreland.
"I didn't refuse the scholarship outright, but I let them know that a military career wasn't where I saw myself going," he wrote.
Carson told reporters on Friday that the offer to attend West Point was “informal,” something his campaign said was consistent with his past statements.
With controversy swirling, Trump pounced, sensing an opportunity to weaken his rival for the nomination.
“WOW, one of many lies by Ben Carson! Big story,” Trump wrote in a tweet Friday.
Trump has also ripped Carson's "strange" and "ridiculous" pyramid theory, and said the West Point story was "one of many lies by Ben Carson."
"Well, I think it’s really the beginning of the end," Trump told The Washington Post.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a former Iowa caucus winner who has been struggling at the polls, piled on.
“Vote for me. I never said I went to West Point,” he said in a tweet.
It’s far too early to tell whether the stories will damage Carson, who is now a favorite to win the Iowa caucuses.
"Carson can certainly weather the storm, because the GOP electorate finds him so likable," said GOP strategist Ford O'Connell.
But, O'Connell added, "If Carson loses that likability factor, his bid for the nomination is toast."
Carson has made light of the media frenzy, joking Friday during an interview with The Brody File that reporters will be looking into his elementary school record next.
“They’ll ask my Kindergarten teacher if I wet my pants," Carson quipped.
While the stories about his past could take some of the shine off Carson’s “outsider candidacy,” it’s unlikely to alienate the Republican base, which is deeply mistrustful of the “mainstream media.”
That dynamic was on full display during the last Republican debate, when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), another top rival to Carson, received thunderous applause after assailing the CNBC moderators.
"This week's media hits on Carson seem trivial. They're more likely to rally his supporters than erode his standing in the polls," said Republican strategist David Payne.
"Don't forget how unflappable Carson is," Payne said. "He may not be animated on the debate stage. But he can calmly handle media critique."
Still, strategists say Carson and his campaign will need to figure out how to handle the enhanced scrutiny he’ll face as the front-runner.
GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak warned the stories about Carson’s background “will raise questions about his honesty."
"I think he's a little bit of a wounded animal," Mackowiak said. "He's either going to show he can handle a crisis situation ... or he's going to wilt."
"Do they have the wherewithal in the crisis communication situation they're going to be in for the next three or four days?"
And while Carson has taken a more freewheeling approach to interviews, O’Connell said his campaign would have to be more disciplined going forward.
"Presidential candidates only get so many verbal mulligans, and the Carson camp has literally used most of them up," O’Connell said.

IMO I do not know how Carson could think his past would not catch to him. When you run for president especially if you are conservative the MSM will find it and torture you with it. Only the leftist are protected from the skeletons in their closet for example Obama who most likely was born in Kenya because everything about his life was sealed and I am sure there is good reason for that.
