Pressed on an Abortion Ban, Donald Trump Sees a Penalty for Women

Donald J. Trump, pressed Wednesday on his support for a ban on abortion and what it would mean in practice, said that “there has to be some form of punishment” for women who have abortions.

The remark, which set off an immediate firestorm of bipartisan criticism, was the latest in a series that could be highly damaging to Mr. Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, in a general election. His approval ratings among women are already low nationally.

Mr. Trump made the comments in a town-hall-style forum with Chris Matthews of MSNBC, which was prerecorded for broadcast Wednesday night. Mr. Matthews pressed Mr. Trump on his support for a ban on abortion, asking him how he would enforce such a ban.

WHOOPS! Marco Rubio’s spelling error sends ‘UnTIED’ States trending

Unfortunately for Marco Rubio, the little red squiggly line won’t show up if a word is spelled correctly. It’s “United,” of course, not “UnTIED” … but “untied”  — as in chaotic — certainly fits this letter where Rubio tells the head of the Alaska Republican Party that he won’t release any of his bound delegates:

“Untied States” was briefly trending this morning, thanks to the Marco-mocking:

The post WHOOPS! Marco Rubio’s spelling error sends ‘UnTIED’ States trending appeared first on twitchy.com.

The National Border Patrol Council is the official organization representing our nation’s Border Patrol Agents. We represent 16,500 agents who selflessly serve this country in an environment where our own political leaders try to keep us from doing our jobs.

The NBPC has had a longstanding practice of not endorsing presidential candidates in the primaries. We will not, however, shy away from voicing our opinions as it pertains to border security and the men and women of the United States Border Patrol. As such, we are breaking with our past practice and giving our first-ever endorsement in a presidential primary. We think it is that important: if we do not secure our borders, American communities will continue to suffer at the hands of gangs, cartels and violent criminals preying on the innocent. The lives and security of the American people are at stake, and the National Border Patrol Council will not sit on the sidelines.

As an organization we expect our elected officials to aggressively pursue the interests of the country. America has already tried a young, articulate freshman senator who never created a job as an attorney and under whose watch criminal cartels have been given the freest border reign ever known.

Unlike his opponents, Donald Trump is not a career politician, he is an outsider who has created thousands of jobs, pledged to bring about aggressive pro-American change, and who is completely independent of special interests. We don't need a person who has the perfect Washington-approved tone, and certainly NOT another establishment politician in the W.H. Indeed, the fact that people are more upset about Mr. Trump’s tone than about the destruction wrought by open borders tells us everything we need to know about the corruption in Washington.

We need a person in the White House who doesn't fear the media, who doesn't embrace political correctness, who doesn't need the money, who is familiar with success, who won't bow to foreign dictators, who is pro-military and values law enforcement, and who is angry for America and NOT subservient to the interests of other nations. Donald Trump is such a man.

Mr. Trump is as bold and outspoken as other world leaders who put their country's interests ahead of all else. Americans deserve to benefit for once instead of always paying and apologizing. Our current political establishment has bled this country dry, sees their power evaporating, and isn't listening to voters who do all the heavy lifting. Trump is opposed by the established powers specifically because they know he is the only candidate who actually threatens the established powers that have betrayed this country.

You can judge a man by his opponents: all the people responsible for the problems plaguing America today are opposing Mr. Trump. It is those without political power – the workers, the law enforcement officers, the everyday families and community members – who are supporting Mr. Trump.

Mr. Trump will take on special interests and embrace the ideas of rank-and-file Border Patrol agents rather than listening to the management yes-men who say whatever they are programmed to say. This is a refreshing change that we have not seen before – and may never see again.

Mr. Trump is correct when he says immigration wouldn’t be at the forefront of this presidential campaign if months ago he hadn’t made some bold and necessary statements. And when the withering media storm ensued he did not back down one iota. That tells you the measure of a man. When the so-called experts said he was too brash and outspoken, and that he would fade away, they were proven wrong. We are confident they will be proven wrong again in November when he becomes President of the United States.

There is no greater physical or economic threat to Americans today than our open border. And there is no greater political threat than the control of Washington by special interests. In view of these threats, the National Border Patrol Council endorses Donald J. Trump for President – and asks the American people to support Mr. Trump in his mission to finally secure the border of the United States of America, before it is too late.

Flashback:

http://www.thenewamerican.com/economy/economics/item/14238-obama%E2%80%99s-trillion-dollar-coin-exposes-federal-reserve-scam

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-03-13/the-trillion-dollar-platinum-coin-is-back

Such a thing seems mathematically and logical inevitable no matter who or what is in charge.  It's just a matter of timing, setup, and implementation.

I think that such a re-set will happen before Trump becomes president if there is not a fairly good chance that he can be stopped.  The simple reason is that for TPTB it needs to happen at a time when there are 'friendlies' at the levers of power in order to achieve the best outcome for said powers, and nobody is more friendly than Obama.  He is clearly a willing tool of the financial sector class.

If Trump becomes the next president would you think he should abolish the federal reserve.
Then print good old Amercian money instead.
You could erase the debt immediately.
Seems like a good idea to me especially as the the fed are ignoring congress.

Trump's re-tweet of the Trump-Cruz wife comparison seemed tacky even by my standards, and I initially considered it a mistake.  In thinking about it more, I'm not so sure.

Taking advantage of an opportunity to get Heidi's name and face burnt into the public's consciousness sets up two potentially devastating body-blows. 

  1) if Ted's infidelity issues have some basis in reality and I suspect they do, it can be milked as needed.

  2) if/when Trump stops beating around the bush and goes full 'anti-globalist', Heidi working as a special adviser to Robert Zoellick on trade deals, actually herself sitting on the CFR, working at high levels in the banking system, etc, could become a real weapon for Trump and a very legitimate one.

Every time Trump get's tagged for 'beating up on woman' he can counter-punch on these two issues.  Especially 2).

Union Bosses In This State Just Made A HUGE Endorsement White House Announcement!



One assumes that when it comes to worker unions, they will support the leading Democrat Party candidates. That’s because every election cycle, unions spend millions of dollars in each state to support Democrats.

But not anymore!

Union bosses in Wisconsin are refusing to endorse Hillary Clinton, especially while she’s under FBI investigation. This decision has been made because too many of the Teamsters in Wisconsin support conservative businessman Donald J. Trump for president.

This is clear evidence that Trump is expanding the Republican Party tent, and attracting voters that never support the party otherwise.

Here is a transcript from the incredible interview of a union worker explaining on NPR why Teamsters are supporting Trump:

    STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
    Let’s hear now from a Donald Trump fan. He is a member of a union whose leaders are not such fans. Trump himself has claimed support from union members as he did over a faulty microphone just before the New Hampshire primary.
    (SOUNDBITE OF SPEECH)

    DONALD TRUMP: They’re having a revolution within the Teamsters because the men and people of the Teamsters want to vote for me. The leadership is always stuck with the Democrats. But the workers want to vote for Trump.

    INSKEEP: That’s what Trump says. Now let’s explore that with Antonio Caracciolo, who is a member of Teamsters Local 282 and a founding member of a Facebook page that is called Teamsters United For Donald J. Trump. Welcome to the program, sir.

    ANTONIO CARACCIOLO: Yeah, well, thank you, Steve.

    INSKEEP: What makes you think that Donald Trump, given the widespread revulsion at him despite his victories and his many fans in Republican primaries, is acceptable to the country at large?

    CARACCIOLO: Because he’s putting skin in the game, as the old saying is. He is writing the check. If someone crashes your truck or something and you own the business, you have to pay the bills. Well, he is – right now, he’s paying the bills for himself. None of the other candidates can say that. Except close to him is Bernie Sanders. But Bernie’s traction is losing.

    INSKEEP: I could see why union members would be particularly concerned about illegal immigration because you can go to a construction site and see lots of people who are clearly immigrants and some of them may well not be here legally.

    CARACCIOLO: Well, you know, in the Home Depots in Long Island and New York City, the immigrants hang out there for day labor. And when they – they chased them out of Alabama. They don’t hang out there as much anymore. And know the state of Arizona and Alabama, where they were challenging people for citizenship, the illegal immigrants left the states. The jobs become more available. When there’s less people, there’s other jobs available. The employers who were employing those illegal immigrants, they have to turn to more-skilled workers. As less people are available for the workforce, the individuals who are hiring have to pay more.

    INSKEEP: You think wages would go up if – now, that’s another part of Trump’s promise, to begin deporting 11 million people who are in the country without…

    CARACCIOLO: I don’t think he has to deport as many as we think he has to. When Arizona started acting tough on illegal immigrants, we saw Arizona license plates in New York and Long Island because they left that area.

    INSKEEP: And you think came to your area is what…

    CARACCIOLO: Yeah, came to New York, where was more welcoming to them.

    INSKEEP: So are there a lot of debates, political arguments going on among Teamsters who support…

    CARACCIOLO: Well, the president of our local, which has about 4,800 people, I don’t think he’d want to tell at a union meeting, ask how many guys want Donald Trump, stand up. They’re shying away from that.

    INSKEEP: Because there’d be a lot of them, you think?

    CARACCIOLO: Absolutely.

    INSKEEP: But it sounds like there’d also be some for Bernie Sanders.

    CARACCIOLO: There are some for Bernie Sanders – not for Hillary, very little.

Of course, this won’t stop the Republican establishment from spending millions of dollars to defeat Trump before the April 5 primary. Supporters of Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and associated Super PACS are ready to blanket every Wisconsin network with as many negative ads as possible, as Wisconsin’s 42 delegates are now critically important to both candidates before the RNC convention in Cleveland, Ohio. Governor Scott Walker (WI), who dropped out of the Presidential race months ago, is yet to make an official endorsement.

There are a lot of these kinds of people.

Often they voted for Obama, and reset the lies they were suckered into.

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan."

The most dangerous thing about Trump is that he's really NOT A REPUBLICAN!   So none of the anti-Republican scare stories work.  Those are what Democrats rely on.  "He's anti-abortion!  Anti-Women!  Anti-EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR!"

Does not work with Trump.

TRUMP BECOMES GRANDFATHER AGAIN, LAMESTREAM MEDIA REMAIN MUM ABOUT THIS HAPPY EVENT

Funny how you never see pictures of a likeable Trump like this one in the major media. I've just checked the top 20 headline stories on Trump, and NOT A SINGLE ONE carries the news of his becoming a grandfather again. Instead, all of them allege how his opponents - Cruz and even Hillary - are allegedly gaining momentum on him.
I know it's all wishful thinking by the powers that be, but it is still amusing to see them squirming like that. Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words. As in this case.
This baby boy is Trump's 8th grandchild. He was born to his daughter Ivanka on this Easter Sunday. What a gift to the Trump family!

It will be interesting to see how the supporters of Bernie Sanders, which have been at times passionately and violently (!) opposed to Trump's candidacy, react to this "sign from the Divine."
Many of them ascribed the landing of a little bird on his speaking lectern in Portland, Oregon on Good Friday as "a sign of God." Implication: God is now supposedly endorsing this non-practicing Jew (meaning an atheist) for the presidency of the United States.

Interesting times we live in. Which, in case you're not aware, is a Chinese CURSE! ---Mr. Sixpack

Bikers for Trump riding into Wisconsin to stop Anti-Trump protests in Janesville















Donald Trump is ending his vacation with a rally in the Critical state of Wisconsin, tomorrow at 11AM. His event has already sold out, and a violent protest has been organized to cause mayhem and havoc as they did in Arizona and Illinois.

Enter the Bikers:

Patriotic Bikers, from all across the United States are planning to show up at ALL future TRUMP rallies to make sure that any paid agitator protesters don’t take away Mr. Trump’s right to speak. Or interfere with the rights of Trump supporters to safely attend. WE SHALL NOT BE SILENCED!


Nichole Mittness thought about 100 people would respond to a Facebook page inviting a protest of Donald Trump’s Janesville appearance.

As of midday Saturday, 1,200 had pledged to be there, and Mittness figured that meant 1,000 or so would show up on Tuesday.

“It’s really overwhelming. I was not anticipating this kind of response,” Mittness said.

While Mittness is working to have a peaceful protest that doesn’t interfere with the Trump event, Janesville police are preparing for any possibility.

Janesville Police Chief Dave Moore said Friday he didn’t yet know how many officers would be assisgned, but his department reached out to police agencies in Rock County, including the sheriff’s office, as well as the State Patrol, DNR and Dane County Sheriff’s Office.

The joint Beloit-Janesville-Rock County sheriff’s “mobile field force,” which specializes in crowd control, will be there, Moore said.

Moore noted the Janesville Conference Center holds 1,000 and said he expects “a substantial number of people” outside.

Trump’s event is scheduled for 3 p.m. The local protest is slated to begin at 11 a.m.

Police respect the constitutional right to freedom of speech, “and to the degree possible, we intend to allow all citizens to voice their opinions, but we will require that it be done in a peaceful and safe manner,” Moore said.

Inside the Janesville Conference Center—a part of the Holiday Inn Express—is a different story, Moore said.

If the Holiday Inn, Trump’s people or the U.S. Secret Service want disrupters removed, “It is private property, and that’s their right,” Moore said.

How the G.O.P. Elite Lost Its Voters to Donald Trump

The manufacturing executives had gathered in an Atlanta conference room last year to honor their senior United States senator, Johnny Isakson, for his tireless efforts on their behalf in Washington. But as the luncheon wound down, Mr. Isakson found himself facing a man from Coweta County. The man, Burl Finkelstein, said trade policies with Mexico and China were strangling the family-owned kitchen-parts company he helped manage, and imperiling the jobs it provided. Mr. Isakson politely brushed him off, Mr. Finkelstein recalled, as he had many times before.

So when the Georgia primary rolled around this month, Mr. Finkelstein, along with many others in his town, pulled the lever for Donald J. Trump, who made him feel that someone had finally started listening. “He gets it,” Mr. Finkelstein said in a recent interview. “We’ve sold ourselves out.”

As the Republican Party collapses on itself, conservative leaders struggling to explain Mr. Trump’s appeal have largely seized on his unique qualities as a candidate: his larger-than-life persona, his ability to dominate the airwaves, his tough-sounding if unrealistic policy proposals. Others ascribe Mr. Trump’s rise to the xenophobia and racism of Americans angry over their declining power.

Senior GOP official Curly Haugland "We choose the nominee, not the voters"

Political parties, not voters, choose their presidential nominees, a Republican convention rules member told CNBC, a day after GOP front-runner Donald Trump rolled up more big primary victories.

"The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nomination. That's the conflict here," Curly Haugland, an unbound GOP delegate from North Dakota, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. He even questioned why primaries and caucuses are held.

Haugland is one of 112 Republican delegates who are not required to cast their support for any one candidate because their states and territories don't hold primaries or caucuses.

Even with Trump's huge projected delegate haul in four state primaries Tuesday, the odds are increasing the billionaire businessman may not ultimately get the 1,237 delegates needed to claim the GOP nomination before the convention.

This could lead to a brokered convention, in which unbound delegates, like Haugland, could play a significant swing role on the first ballot to choose a nominee.

Most delegates bound by their state's primary or caucus results are only committed on the first ballot. If subsequent ballots are needed, virtually all of the delegates can vote any way they want, said Gary Emineth, another unbound delegate from North Dakota.

"It could introduce Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, or it could be the other candidates that have already been in the race and are now out of the race [such as] Mike Huckabee [or] Rick Santorum. All those people could eventually become candidates on the floor," Emineth said.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, who decided not to run for the White House this year, said in a CNBC interview Tuesday he won't categorically rule out accepting the GOP nomination if a deadlocked convention were to turn to him. But on Wednesday, a Ryan spokeswoman said the speaker would not accept a Republican nomination for president at a divided convention.

Democrats experienced the last true brokered presidential convention to go beyond the first ballot in 1952. Republicans came close at their 1976 convention.

"The rules haven't kept up," Haugland said. "The rules are still designed to have a political party choose its nominee at a convention. That's just the way it is. I can't help it. Don't hate me because I love the rules."

Haugland said he sent a letter to each campaign alerting them to a rule change he's proposing, which would allow any candidate who earns at least one delegate during the nominating process to submit his or her name to be nominated at this summer's convention.

If the GOP race continues at the same pace, Trump would likely have a plurality of delegates. So far, he's more than halfway to the 1,237 magic number.

Trump split Tuesday's winner-take-all primaries in Florida and Ohio.

The real estate mogul dominated in Florida over Sen. Marco Rubio, who dropped out of the race after losing his home state.

But Trump lost Ohio to the state's governor, John Kasich. Trump also won Illinois and North Carolina. He held a slim lead over Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in Missouri early Wednesday.

Emineth, also a former chairman of the North Dakota Republican Party, told "Squawk Box" in the same interview that he's concerned about party officials pulling "some shenanigan."

"You have groups of people who are going to try to take over the rules committee," he warned. "[That] could totally change everything, and mess things up with the delegates. And people across the country will be very frustrated."

"It's important that the Republican National Committee has transparency on what they're doing [on the rules] going into the convention and what happens in the convention," he continued. That's because of "all the votes that have been cast in caucuses and primaries. Don't disenfranchise those voters. Because at the end of the day, our goal is to beat Hillary Clinton or whoever their [Democratic] nominee is in November."

Emineth said he's worried that frustration would discourage Americans in the general election from voting Republican.

Yep.
