Trump Keeps Attacking Gold Star Family

 photo 3398eca6-c402-40e8-999c-42045f9e7f67.jpg

Donald Trump thinks he has made more sacrifices than a Muslim soldier who gave his life for this country. And he doesn't mind attacking the man's Gold Star Family to gain support among his racist voters.

And this has been going on now for a week.



From USA Today
Khan spoke on the final night of the Democratic convention, giving a moving tribute to his son before bashing Trump.
"If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have even been in America," Khan said. "He vows to build walls and ban us from this country. Donald Trump, you're asking Americans to trust you with their future. Let me ask you, have you even read the United States Constitution?"
Khan held up a pocket Constitution and offered to lend it to Trump.
"You have have sacrificed nothing, and no one," he finished.
...In an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, Trump fought back against the idea that he hadn’t made any sacrifices.
"Who wrote that? Did Hillary's script writers write it?" Trump said. Khan declined the use of a speechwriter, according to Politico
"I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard,” Trump said.
Trump also went after Ghazala Khan, who stood beside her husband during his speech but did not speak. Trump implied that she may not have been allowed to speak because of her religion.
























Tonight Trump's spokeswoman went on CNN and blamed Obama for the soldier's death in 2004. The only problem is that Obama wasn't President in 2004 - he didn't get elected until 2008! Idiot!

Trump Attacks McCain's Military Record

 photo Trump-McCain_1.png

So Donald Trump is mouthing off now at people who aren't even running against him! He decided to attack ex-GOP nominee John McCain who last ran for the presidency in 2008 and lost to Barack Obama, saying that McCain wasn't a war hero because he was captured. 

This kooky statement might hurt Trump to an extent, considering the outpouring of support for Chattanooga after the murder of five military men. The other GOP candidates now have to decide whether to let it go or stand up for McCain, who is unpopular with the Tea Party and considered an establishment RINO (Republican in Name Only). But of course Jeb and the gang are a bunch of hypocrites no matter what they say because they loved it when John Kerry was attacked by the Swiftboaters back in the day.

Oh how sad, the GOP is in a sticky situation. Make more popcorn!

From Politico
“He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
The remarks, which came after days of back-and-forth between McCain and Trump, were met with scattered boos.
McCain, a former Navy pilot, spent roughly five-and-half years in a notorious North Vietnamese prison known as the “Hanoi Hilton,” where he was repeatedly tortured. He spent two of those years in solitary confinement.
. . . He also continued his attacks on the Arizona senator, saying, “I think John McCain’s done very little for the veterans. I’m very disappointed in John McCain.”

John McCain had this reply:
“It’s very bad,” the Republican senator said. “This performance with our friend out in Phoenix is very hurtful to me,” McCain said. “Because what he did was he fired up the crazies.”




Doubling down, Trump refused to apologize for his remarks.

Tripling down, Trump then called McCain a Dummy - you can't make this stuff up!

Chattanooga Mourns Military Deaths

 photo ChattanoogaSTrong.jpg

On Thursday, July 16, 2015, a lone shooter went on a rampage in Chattanooga, Tennessee, targeting Military Recruitment offices. When it was over half the city and state was suddenly on lockdown, and the entire world was watching.

Four Marines died that day, while a wounded Navy Reservist succumbed to his wounds a few days later. A total of six people died, including the shooter, who was killed by police on the scene.

Chattanooga is my hometown, and it is no exaggeration that this crime put all Tennesseans in a state of shock. I had just been at Erlanger hospital that morning for short procedure. After that my husband and I drove home past the Lee Highway recruitment center, just remarking on what a pretty day it was and how green the trees were, and chatting about what to have for breakfast. After a leisurely meal we went home and five minutes later discovered that the shootings had occurred, the hospital was on lockdown, and police were in a manhunt for the killer on Amnicola Highway near our son's college, Chattanooga State. And people were possibly dead.















Later I would find out that the shooter, Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, attended my alma mater, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, just a few miles from where the four Marines were shot, and where my youngest is working towards a similar Engineering degree. He attended high school with my future son-in-law, who owns a copy of the Yearbook in which he wrote “My name causes national security alerts. What does yours do? -Hijabman.”

If this shooter had wanted just to kill citizens, he could have shot at cars on the highway, or shot at students and families on the Riverwalk, or shot through the windows of any restaurant. But he clearly targeted the military and the police. He had a plan - we could all see that. This wasn't a random crime, but an act of terrorism.

We still don't know everything about him, but we know that he lived among us as a Chattanoogan all his life and then one day, for whatever twisted reason, he woke up and decided to kill regular folks only because they wore military uniforms. For someone who didn't want to be judged by his own name, it is the ultimate act of selfish hypocrisy.

 photo Chattanooga-Marines-ChattTimes.jpg





From CNN
People who knew Abdulazeez were stunned to hear he was the man who sprayed a military recruiting center at a strip mall with bullets, then drove seven miles to assault Navy Operational Support Center Chattanooga. He killed a sailor and four Marines, and wounded two more people, before being killed by police.
Friends described Abdulazeez as a once-devoted, disciplined mixed-martial-arts fighter; a top student known for smarts, charm and humor; and a devout Muslim who kept in touch with his roots in the Middle East.
The FBI hasn't released much information on Abdulazeez, saying it doesn't yet know what motivated the bloodshed but it is working on an assumption. "We will treat this as a terrorism investigation until it can be determined that it is not," FBI Special Agent Edward Reinhold said.

#JadeHelm ~ Russians, Anthrax and a Doomsday Plane - Update: Bluebell Ice Cream Trucks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And so it begins . . . #JadeHelm15, the military operation that is making heads explode all over the Southwest. I believe the Military may be doing a psy-op on people like Alex Jones and his listeners to bring the real loonies out into the open. It's working!

The Jade Helm 16 Information Facebook has 25,000 followers.
Operation Jade Helm and Beyond has 60,000 followers
Jade Helm 15 Martial Law has 12,000 followers.

And that's only a fraction of the crazy out there.







According to one Facebook, Russia wants to save Texans from the Evil Obama Invasion, and they are working with China to mount their own invasion from the south. No, really! I saw it on the Internet!

More news folks- This is not disinformation.. A portion of the Black Sea fleet is in the Atlantic a couple miles from us waters..the rest is refueling and taking on drinking water near Spain and headed this way.. The Russian "carrier killer" loaded with nuclear weapons is leading the pack with 10 subs and a sub wreckage recovery vessel. And unknown to the main of US citizens, Russian aircraft have been doing recon on the West Coast and Alaska.
This is in direct response to the US/NATO occupation of the Black Sea during Russia's problems with Crimea. Russia is not 100% for the people but it has stated it will back and protect any states deciding to leave the US Obama regime... That is why the Armed Forces haven't been prepping 100% for overtaking US citizens for it's under the idea of Russian naval and China/Mexico coming up from the south to help Texas and move north..
~ Jade Helm 15 Information Facebook

As an American how do we know the people controlling this site are American, and have the best interest of Americans. Are you just Russians and Chinness playing war of the world's on Facebook? If we can't trust our own troops how can we trust a random Facebook page who has all this proof with no proof?
~ Hillbilly B. on Jade Helm 15 Information Facebook

There's also the scary "Doomsday Plane" flying around - that must mean it's Doomsday, right?





Wake Up 'Merica!!!!!!

New World Order! I try to educate people on this all the time but they think I'm crazy. Keep living in your bubbles people. The government tries to dumb us down by feeding the media with focus on racial wars, confederate flag drama, same sex marriage and the obvious technology, new cell phones and "pretty" new electronics you can have. If everyone focuses on all that nonsense, then they are not paying attention to the shady things the government is really up to!! WAKE UP AMERICA!
~ Angie on Jade Helm 15 Information Facebook

It could be the Anthrax spread by spread by evil (Bluebell) Ice Cream Trucks or something. Get dibs on a plastic coffin now!

The Lord gave me a vision of Jade Helm and I saw military vehicles blocking the streets in major cities so that no one can come in or go out. I was wondering why they were blocking the streets and it came in my spirit that it was a quarantine. And that would be caused by some sort of disease outbreak, then I heard the word "Anthrax". So I looked it up and found out it is the best choice for biological warfare because its easy to produce and the spores can survive just about anything. It can survive extreme cold, extreme heat. It can be spread through the air, like from an airplane, through the water and can grow in the dirt on land. Just a small amount can kill thousands of people.
Then I thought about the plastic coffins they are stockpiling in which I heard would most likely be used in the case of disease and pestilence. It explains the ice cream trucks and the incinerator trucks and may even explain why there is no water in my dream and why so many people are saying the water will be poisoned because It will become contaminated. I have read that even boiling the water will not kill the spores. Jade Helm starts July 15th and runs through september 15th so it could be anytime when it is done, however there are some indications that the time for the rapture must be now.
~ Visionary Carole S. on Operation Jade Helm and Beyond

Update: Apparently Evil Forces put the Texas-based Bluebell Ice Cream company out of business to steal their trucks for #JadeHelm.







Or it's just about putting Americans in Concentration Camps - haven't we been saying that for nearly 8 years? It has to come true someday or else . . . we might be . . . you know . . . CRAZY!

The ultimate goal of Jade Helm is to train troops to control American citizens: Rounding them up, putting them in camps, isolating troublemakers, etc.
In this exercise, Americans are the enemy.
Are there still folks who do not see this?
~ T-Bone Texan on Free Republic

It's sad when your called a nut or a conspiracy loony just for demanding transparency from the worst government this country has ever seen.
~ Joel G. on Jade Helm 15 Martial Law Facebook

I have absolutely no trust for our current government....I have wondered if all of this talk about flags, etc. (i.e. Confederate Flag, Confederate Monuments) is just a diversion to keep Jade Helm out of the news.
~ William M. on Operation Jade Helm and Beyond Facebook

Body bags, mobile morgues, concrete tombs, body disposal units, CDC warning of epidemic, mass supplies of ammuntion, missiles, missile launchers, military tanks, foreign soldiers. Nah nothing going on here go drink your koolaid.
~ Norma B. on Operation Jade Helm and Beyond Facebook







Above all, Keep Obama Off Mah Land!!!

My only real concern is that if they are traveling through, 'both public and private land,' are they going to do so by cutting the fence on my property? Yes, I realize this article only says public land, but what the govt. has said is both public and private... There just isn't THAT much public land in Texas. Is an Abrams going to roll through my ranch/let all of my exotics out? Who'll pay for the tens of thousands of dollars that they're worth? I know my ranch house gets used as a waypoint (or target maybe) for T-38 training jets, so it's 100% conceivable that it'd be included in this.
~ comment by JWP on the Houston Chronicle

If they maneuver through my private property, you will read about me in the papers the next day.
~ jy8z on Free Republic

Oh, it's just generally due to Obama. Just everything!

So much for the First Amendment under imam Barack Hussein Obama!
. . . cutting off the press seems to me to be a smoke screen for what is really going on behind the scenes. And make no mistake, Barack Hussein Obama knows exactly what he's doing, but like his birth certificate, Social Security number and Selective Service form, he will not allow the truth to come to light. He is, therefore, guilty of hypocrisy when he tells others, "The only people that don't want to disclose the truth, are people with something to hide."
~ Tim Brown on EagleRising.com

Under normal circumstances this would be just another summer military exercise, granted much larger than normal. But these are not normal times with the current occupant of the White House and with the current government we have in Washington D.C. Obama hates America and is doing everything in his power and many things illegally and outside his power to destroy her (see "fundamentally transform"). And unfortunately he is succeeding. So real Americans don't trust Obama any further than they can throw an Army tank. They have a right to be suspicious of this guy and his motives. So the lefties out their can make fun of real Americans all they want, makes no difference to me. But Americans better watch out for this guy. He's not done yet.

The Summer of #JadeHelm15 Begins

Texans Fear #JadeHelm15 Invasion

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am looking forward to the Jade Helm 15 invasion of the Southwest by the U.S. Military - the lights, the sounds, the smell of Tea Party sweat, the sounds of responsible gun owners shooting themselves in the feet, the twitter meltdowns and shrieks about impending doom and total batsh*t freakouts and Obama insults. I honestly cannot wait - I need more popcorn!

It's supposed to start July 15 in some of the southwestern states.

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas had a nice idea back in April 2015: he's going to call out the National Guard to keep an eye on the U.S. Military as they start their military operations in Texas .... What's that you say? The National Guard IS part of the U.S. Military? Oh pish-tosh, that means nothing in Texas when faced with an outside invasion from 'Merica.... What's that? Texas IS America? What???

Holy Chinooks! Texans Fear #JadeHelm15 Takeover

 photo chinook_50yrs.jpg

In the scary world of right-wing Obama-hating "alternative news" anything can become a conspiracy theory. But when there's a hint of the federal military being involved, then the Bizarro World of Alex Jones goes into full gimble-lock and they spin away into outer space like Apollo 13.

A bunch of loonies in Texas fear that Evil Emperor Obama has finally decided to "invade Texas" and start locking people into concentration camps so he can have a third term. Of course, they've been predicting this since 2008 when Obama was elected President, because what else would a Muslin Bolshevik Facist Socialist BLACK Kenyan Dictator do but herd white people around like a bunch of Cliven Bundy's cows? Git along little dogies!

From Alex Jones Info Wars
“Jade Helm is a challenging eight-week joint military and Interagency (IA) Unconventional Warfare (UW) exercise conducted throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado,” according to an unclassified military document announcing the training drill, which runs from July 15 through September 15.

Multiple branches of the US military, including Green Berets, Navy Seals, and the 82nd Airborne Division, will participate in the 8-week long exercise, which may result in “increased aircraft in the area at night.”

Troops will be tasked with honing advanced skills in “large areas of undeveloped land with low population densities,” and will work alongside “civilians to gain their trust and an understanding of the issues.”

The exercise, in which some participants will be “wearing civilian clothes and driving civilian vehicles,” lists Texas and Utah as “hostile” territory.


I have no problem with Utah and Texas being listed as "hostile." After all, the "Sovereign Citizens" in those states constantly threaten to secede or disobey the government. In fact, Jade Helm 15 could simply be an experiment to see just how much these nutjobs hate their country and want to shoot at our own military. What better way to teach Texas a lesson than to send in the troops for "exercises" with black helicopters just to drive them out of their minds and show them who is in control.

Now I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but seriously folks, the real pro is Greg Abbott, Governor and Top Clown of Texas. Now maybe he was just pandering to the Tea Party Libertarians, or maybe he is just crazy, but this looks really bad for Texas. Stop doing this stuff!

From the Austin-American Stateman:
Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday directed the Texas State Guard to monitor Operation Jade Helm 15 to make sure that Texans’ “safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed.”
. . . it came amid concerns fueled by Texas talk radio host Alex Jones and his website, Infowars.com, that the military exercise might actually be a precursor to martial law.
“BREAKING! Texas Gov. To Send State Guard To Monitor #JadeHelm Exercise,” Jones tweeted on the governor’s announcement.
Concerns about Jade Helm 15 spilled over Monday night at packed special meeting of the Bastrop County Commissioners Court, where commissioners found themselves facing hostile questions for agreeing to let U.S. military forces train on private property in rural areas of the county this summer as part of the exercise.

After the Military calmly explained that is was just a military exercise, he rolled back the cray-cray:

From Statesmen:
"We are playing a pivotal role of government and that is to provide information for people who have questions,” Abbott said. “It is clear that people in Bastrop had questions, it’s clear from the questions I have received in my office that people have questions about it, and as governor and as government, I think we have an obligation to answer questions of citizens. And, by us working with the Special Operations Forces, we are able to provide information to citizens who were concerned about it.”

Rick Perry also put in his 2 cents worth, sounding less crazy than Abbott at least: "Trust the Military."
I think if you're one of these guys it’s okay to question your government — I do it on a pretty regular basis. The military's something else. "You know, I think our military is quite trustworthy. Civilian leadership – you can always question that, but not the men and women in uniform.




Then of course there is Louie Gohmert, another Texas Rodeo Clown. He just doesn't like that whole "hostile" label on Texas. Even if they sound hostile every day. And stupid. And hostile.

Gohmert via Vox
Once I observed the map depicting ‘hostile,' ‘permissive,' and ‘uncertain' states and locations, I was rather appalled that the hostile areas amazingly have a Republican majority, ‘cling to their guns and religion,' and believe in the sanctity of the United States Constitution. When the federal government begins, even in practice, games or exercises, to consider any U.S. city or state in 'hostile' control and trying to retake it, the message becomes extremely calloused and suspicious.


The Jade Helm operation could really "heat-up" the Southwest this summer as Alex Jones has meltdowns and Rick Perry probably goes back to the border and Greg Abbott hides in the Gov's mansion shaking in his boots and Gohmert remains Gohmert. So make some popcorn while you wait for the black helicopters:

OMG, Chinook Helicopters in Texas and Kansas!
(Well, guess what, I've seen these in TN also.
It's the National Guard having weekend maneuvers. Doh.)

Governor Nixon of Missouri Declares State of Emergency over Ferguson

Missouri is under a state of emergency tonight, and Governor Jay Nixon is supposed to make a statement at 6 p.m. Central Time. He has called out the National Guard (again) and the FBI has also issued a statement. Something's coming down.



Update: Not a speech, a conference call with media. Scroll down for quotes from reporters. It seems that Governor Nixon was mainly reading from his own press release.
