Rush Limbaugh: Bush, Kasich “Running as Democrats” – Jeb Bush Is in Denial
Radio talk show host and author Rush Limbaugh weighed in on the FOX Business Republican on Wednesday’s show. Rush told his audience Jeb is only still in the race because of denial.
Rush also accused Jeb Bush and John Kasich of “running as Democrats.”
Rush Limbaugh reported:
RUSH: Here’s another thing about Jeb. They have to know at the Jeb campaign why Trump is leading, and in the national polls Trump still is leading. They have to know it’s immigration. They have to know that they, the Bush campaign and the candidate himself, Jeb, they have to know that they’re on the wrong side of that issue when it comes to Republican primary voters. They have to know that, do they not?
Now, I know that Jeb and his team have said that their goal was to win the nomination without the base, to win the nomination and not win the primaries or some such thing. The way you do that is with money. You just get all the money from all the donors. You deny money to everybody else and you just outlast ’em. You get all the conservatives running against each other, divy up the support to each and money to each and you get rid of ’em that way. But by this time Jeb’s sitting there three, four points, and he’s not moving. Anybody else at three, four points this long would be gone. But they’re still hanging in there because they’re in a state of denial.
I still think at the Bush campaign they don’t think Trump’s real. I don’t think they believe any of this is really meaningful. This is all something weird and odd. It isn’t gonna be Carson. It isn’t gonna be Trump. I think that’s what they’re telling themselves in the bowels of the Bush campaign. It’s not gonna be those two guys. This is unreal. This is sick. These guys are not professional politicians, not establishment types, donors don’t like ’em, this isn’t gonna work. So they think they’re gonna bomb out, go away, something’s gonna happen.
Even so, why in the world would you, knowing full well that you’re sitting where you’re sitting in large part because of your immigration position, it’s a Republican primary, why would you say something like Jeb said? “They’re having high fives in the Clinton campaign right now when they hear this.” What were they hearing? The Republicans were having a discussion about stopping illegal immigration. The Republicans were having a debate about the economics of illegal immigration. Not the civil rights aspect of it, and not the compassion for the poor, unless you want to talk about compassion for the America worker who gets screwed because of all these newly arriving unskilled, low educated workers that will work for dirt cheap. In that sense you could say it’s a compassion issue, but for the American worker.
Cruz made it clear here that this is not a civil rights issue and people are not anti-immigrant. It’s an economics issue and it’s a legal issue. We’re a nation of laws. We got immigration laws and Jeb’s openly talking about how over on the Democrat side, when the Republicans talk about enforcing the law and protecting American jobs and raising American wages, the Democrats and Hillary are applauding? Somehow the Republicans were killing themselves? The Republicans, in Jeb’s eyes, were hurting themselves standing up for the American worker, standing up for the rule of law. Does Jeb really think these laws just should be ignored?
Does Jeb think we ought to get rid of these laws? Does he think enforcing them is a terrible thing? You know, that’s what the liberals think, like these clowns at the University of Missouri. What they really don’t want is laws enforced, laws that they don’t like equal prison or injustice or lack of justice, lack of freedom or what have you. And then Kasich got in on it at the same time. Kasich starts talking about (imitating Kasich), “Think about the families, come on, folks, come on! Who are we? Come on, think about the families, we’re not gonna send 11, 12 million people home, coooomeee on! Come on, this isn’t real, what am I doing here? You people are all idiots. I’m the only guy that’s conservative as a candidate and liberal as a governor. I’m the only guy here that has a heart. I’m the only guy here that has feelings. I’m the only guy here who knows the pain and suffering of mailmen and coal miners, my God, what am I doing here? You people don’t know a thing, ah, it’s embarrassing, what happened to our party? What happened to our movement? Oh, my God, oh, my God.”
He and Jeb, I just don’t get it.

CNN’s Marc Lamont Hill Insults Vets on Veterans Day with Photo of Cuban Revolutionary Soldiers
Leftist CNN commentator and college professor Marc Lamont Hill posted a photo to Twitter and Instagram on Wednesday of marching female Cuban revolutionaries with the message, “Happy Veterans Day.”
Hill deleted the photo on Twitter, responding to someone pointing out the photo was of Cuban soldiers by saying, “I just realized that. And deleted.”
@nharmon I just realized that. And deleted.
— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) November 11, 2015
Hill’s posting of the photo to Instagram was pointed out by @AndreGoLow on Twitter as not having been deleted.
The photo was soon taken down by Hill, but not before a screen grab was made by The Gateway Pundit.
Hill’s Twitter bio reads: “Morehouse College Professor. CNN Commentator. Host of BET News. co-CEO of Elite Voices. Exec Producer of For Colored Boys. Sixers Fanatic. Philly Born. ΚΑΨ MADE.”
Marc Lamont Hill, image via Twitter.Hill also co-authored a book with convicted cop killer Wesley Cook, aka Mumia Abu Jamal.
The photo used by Hill on Veteran’s Day was posted May 15, 2014 on a blog by Black Panther member Timothy Hayes with the description, “This picture is of Female Cuban soldiers marching in a May Day parade. I like to think that Antonia’s spirit and the spirits of other freedom fighting women live on in women like this,” in tribute to a female Cuban soldier he fought alongside with in Angola who was killed.

Trump blasts Wall Street Journal over 'third-rate' editorial
By Jesse Byrnes
Getty ImagesRepublican presidential candidate Donald Trump went after The Wall Street Journal Thursday morning over an editorial critical of his comments on a major trade deal.
"There's so much misinformation, but you would think that a paper like The Wall Street Journal would call for clarification," Trump said on "Fox and Friends."ADVERTISEMENT
"But they don't do that, they just write. That's why they're not a respected paper too much anymore," Trump added.
The newspaper said in its editorial that, based on Trump's comments in the fourth GOP debate Tuesday night about the trade pact, "it wasn’t obvious that he has any idea what’s in it."
"I know it intimately, although it is 6,000 pages," Trump responded on Fox News.
The newspaper also noted that Trump discussed Chinese currency manipulation, which he often does on the campaign trail.
"But it took Rand Paul to point out that China isn’t part of the deal and would be happy if the agreement collapsed so the U.S. would have less economic influence in Asia," the Journal said.
"I know that China's not in the deal," Trump shot back in another interview Thursday morning on Fox Business with Maria Bartiromo. "I talk about it all the time."
"The Wall Street Journal editorial board doesn't know what they're talking about. They're third-rate," Trump said, suggesting the head of the board "ought to resign."
Trump also sent a series of tweets on Thursday morning before his television appearances blasting the newspaper for its editorial, which was published the same day.
Today's @WSJ Editorial is WRONG again. I know that China is not in the new T.P.P. trade deal but would come in latter through a back door.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2015.@WSJ Editorial Board should review my debate statement re China and T.P.P. and apologize. China not part but will get their way in later.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2015The @WSJ Editorial Board is so wrong, so often. They got info from an incorrect story in another pub. Why not watch and listen to debate.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2015When and how are the dummies at the @WSJ going to apologize to me for their totally incorrect Editorial on me. I want "smart" trade deals.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2015Why wouldn't the @WSJ call for comment or clarification before writing an editorial which is so totally wrong. No wonder it is doing poorly!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2015Trump has had a series of media flaps over the course of his campaign, including with personalities and networks including Fox News, CNN and several conservative commentators.

Wonder why no one is talking about Singapore. Seems to me that China took over Singapore from the British a few years ago. So China is involved.

Jeb: ‘I’m a better bet’ than Rubio
By Elliot Smilowitz
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Wednesday continued his campaign against Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), saying his own experience makes him a stronger general election candidate than the senator."I'm a better bet," Bush said at an Iowa town hall when he was asked about Rubio’s chances against Democrat Hillary Clinton, CNN reported."I got a proven record and I campaign in a way that's based on that record and based on ideas that I've had. I've been vetted. I've been tested. I'm an open book."ADVERTISEMENTBush has repeatedly made his case against Rubio as the 44-year-old senator has surged in the Republican presidential primary.Rubio sits in third place in the national race, according to a RealClearPolitics polling average, with Bush in fifth.The Hill reported earlier this week that Republican senators are coming around to the view that Rubio is a more viable prospect for the general election than Bush.Bush attacked Rubio at an October presidential debate for missing Senate votes to campaign for president, but Rubio was able to counter the attack.At the most recent GOP debate Tuesday, the former governor largely steered clear of slamming Rubio. -

Snowden 'overwhelmed' by public response
By Harper Neidig - 11/11/15 10:33 AM EST
Edward Snowden says he is “overwhelmed” by the public reaction to his disclosures about the government's mass surveillance programs.
“I was really worried ... that this would be a two day story, then everybody would forget about it and we’d move on.” he said during a video question and answer session hosted by the PEN American Center on Tuesday.
Snowden spoke to the event from Moscow, where he has been since fleeing the U.S. in 2013 after leaking classified information about the National Security Agency (NSA) collecting information on millions of Americans' phone calls.
His disclosures led to a public outcry, which Snowden hailed, and Congress passing broad reforms to the NSA.ADVERTISEMENT
But he said that there was still need for vigilance and further reforms. He also warned against secrecy in national security programs, noting that the surveillance programs "were passed without meaningful debate at all."
The NSA program collected data on the phone numbers involved in calls and their duration but not the actual content of conversations. It is set to expire at the end of the month.
Under the reforms, the government must now obtain a warrant to access phone data that will be stored by private companies.
Critics say that Snowden endangered national security, but his supporters say he acted as a whistleblower and drew appropriate scrutiny to the government's programs.
Activists such as Snowden and PEN America Center have championed reforms and sought to increase protections for whistleblowers.
The event took place on the same day the group released a report outlining the risks that government contractors face when leaking classified information.

Yes, it took a lot of soul searching and bravery to stand up against the Government. I pray that he will be given peace and return to America when the new President is elected.
