In another sign of GOP support for Trump’s strict immigration policies, more poll respondents reacted favorably
to a comment by the real-estate mogul.
Sixty-five percent of Republicans and the independents who lean that way agreed with this statement: “When Mexico
sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems. They’re bringing drugs.
They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” Trump said that in June, but poll respondents weren’t told who said it.
By contrast, 77 percent of Republicans disagree with this comment: “Yes, illegal immigrants broke the law, but it’s not a
felony. It’s an act of love; it’s an act of commitment to your family.” Poll respondents weren’t told that Bush said the comment in April.
A wide-range of Republicans, including 2008 presidential nominee John McCain, have said the party could be in danger
of losing the 2016 White House race if the GOP doesn’t make gains with Hispanic voters. Non sense as usual from McCain!
Early Saturday, Donald Trump took to Twitter to give his condolences to Paris and to criticize the president as "just so bad":
President Obama said "ISIL continues to shrink" in an interview just hours before the horrible attack in Paris. He is just so bad! CHANGE.

Later, at a rally in Texas, Trump took aim at President Obama's policy to increase the number of Syrian refugees the United States takes in.
"It was just reported, one [attacker was] from Syria," Trump said. "Our president wants to take in 250,000 from Syria. I mean, think of it. 250,000 people. And we all have heart. And we all want people taken care of and all of that. But with the Problems our country has, to take in 250.000 people -- some of whom are going to have problems, big problems."

Trump also attributed the mass loss of life in Paris to the city's restrictive gun control rules.
"When you look at Paris, you know the toughest gun laws in the world, Paris. Nobody had guns but the bad guys. Nobody," he said. "Nobody had guns. And they were just shooting them one by one, and then they broke in, and had a big shootout, and ultimately killed terrorists."
"I'll tell you what - you can say what you want -- if they had guns, if our people had guns, if they were allowed to carry, it would've been a much different situation," Trump said.

At the Sunshine Summit in Florida, former tech executive Carly Fiorina placed the responsibility for the Paris deaths at the feet of the Obama administration.
"I am outraged because the murder, the mayhem, the danger, the tragedy we see unfolding in Paris, throughout the Middle East, around the world, and too often in our own homeland are the direct consequence of this administration's policies," Fiorina said Saturday. "You cannot lead from behind."
The former Hewlett-Packard CEO also weighed in on Syrian refugees, saying she was "angry that President Obama unilaterally decides that we will accept in this nation a 100,000 Syrian refugees while his administration admits we cannot determine their ties to terrorism."
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum joined in the criticism of the White House -- firing simultaneously at some Republicans -- backing the U.S. Syrian refugee plan.
"Do you know whose passport was found in France this morning?" Santorum asked the crowd Saturday. "A Syrian passport."
Mike Huckabee agreed with the call to close off America's borders to refugees from Syria.
"During the debate last week, I stated that we should not admit those claiming to be Syrian refugees and was condemned by the left for that position. I was right, and the events in Paris affirm that," Huckabee said in a statement. "Even the far-left and politically-correct government of France has closed its borders. It's time for a President who will act to protect Americans, not just talk and protect the image of Islam."
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, while speaking at Bob Jones University in South Carolina, also called for swift legislative action on a bill that would allow government officials to strip American citizenship from any alleged supporters of terrorist groups.
"I call on Congress to pass the Expatriate Terrorist Act," Cruz said Saturday of the legislation that he sponsored in the Senate last September. "We should not allow jihadists to come back to America using U.S. passports to murder innocent men and women. We are at war."

Ben Carson called for more U.S. intervention abroad, promoting the use of "covert resources, overt resources, military resources... in an attempt not to contain them but to eliminate them before they eliminate us."
"I think America's involvement should be trying to eliminate them, completely, destroy them," Carson said at a Friday press conference. "Boots on the ground would probably be important."
Jeb Bush said he was "not surprised" about the terrorist attacks.
In a radio interview with conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt, Bush said, "This is a war being created by Islamic terrorists. It's not a law enforcement operation. And the mindset that, in our country, at least, needs to change to recognize it for what it is. This is an organized effort to destroy Western civilization."
The former Florida governor also called for America to lead in the counterterrorism fight -- what he called "the war of our time" -- pushing to "re-garner the alliances, fortify those alliances, reconnect with our counterintelligence and intelligence capabilities with our European allies, and engage in the Middle East to take out ISIS."
Another Florida Republican, Sen. Marco Rubio, called for more assistance to the French government in tracking down those responsible for the attacks.
"As we learn more about the attacks and who is behind them, the United States should assist the French government in finding those who are accountable and bringing them to justice," Rubio said in a statement. "We cannot let those who seek to disrupt our way of life succeed. We must increase our efforts at home and abroad to improve our defenses, destroy terrorist networks, and deprive them of the space from which to operate."
Ohio Gov. John Kasich led an impromptu prayer for the Paris victims during a campaign stop in New Hampshire.
"Dear Lord, we keep the families in Paris in our prayers, the children who've been frightened to learn of the death of their mom or their dad or their brother or their sister," he said Friday. "We know this evil can be all around us, but we know in the end it's the strength that you provide, the hope ultimately that you provide, that can help these folks deal with this terrible tragedy and recover. And we'll stand with them, Lord, here across the ocean and the United States. We'll do the best to hold them in our arms, to be with them in this time of terrible grief and terrible tragedy."
The next day, speaking at the Sunshine Summit, Kasich called for timely action in the wake of the attacks in France.
"You know, our thoughts and our prayers go to the people of France but that's not enough. Action is required. Time is of the essence. Negotiation, ambivalence, or delay, are not acceptable," he said in a speech that focused entirely on the terror attacks.
Later, he told reporters that when it comes to the "way we should treat Syrian refugees, it ought to be an affirmation where we are clear we're not bringing ISIS into this country."

Trump: “Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent,” he said when asked about his vice presidential pick, according to Lifezette. “Well, I like him,” Trump told radio host Laura Ingraham during her broadcast. “He’s backed everything I’ve said.”
Unlike most of the Republican presidential hopefuls, Cruz has mostly refrained from attacking Trump, even appearing alongside him at a rally in September against the Iran nuclear deal. #CitizensForTrump#CoalitionForTrump#VoteTrump2016#MakeAmericaGreatAgain

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/260574-trump-absolutely-no-choice-but-to-close-mosques
GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump says the United States has “absolutely no choice” but to close down mosques where “some bad things are happening.”
“Nobody wants to say this and nobody wants to shut down religious institutions or anything, but you know, you understand it,” Trump said on Fox News’s “Hannity” on Tuesday. “A lot of people understand it. We’re going to have no choice.”
This will probably surprise some of you, but I'm not 100% in agreement with this. Even though I think Islam is more of a psycho cult than a religion, once the government takes it upon themselves to start shutting down religious institutions...that's an extremely dangerous zone to wander into. Essentially the beginnings of tyranny and the end of individual freedoms. Yes, I support using the Constitution as a decision making guide even when I don't like the outcome.
I don't think a lot of this activity originates in mosques, but I obviously can't say for sure. If the government wants to infiltrate mosques and try to root out any nefarious activity, or if they want to shut down a mosque where they can prove some kind of jihadist act originated, I'm 100% behind that. Could not give less of a fuck if anyone whines about profiling...that falls under probable cause.

When asked whether Muslims would be legally obligated to sign into the database, Trump responded, “They have to be — they have to be.” Later, Trump was repeatedly asked to explain the difference between requiring Muslims to enter their information into a database and making Jewish people register in Nazi Germany. He responded four times by saying, “You tell me.”

Rabbi Jack Moline, executive director of the nonprofit Interfaith Alliance, drew the same comparison Thursday night.
“My father was in World War II, and he fought to preserve America against what the Nazis were doing,” Moline told NBC News.
“This is exactly why there is an America, to not be like that,” he said.

“As a lawyer, I’d suggest that among other reasons it is a bad idea is that it violates the freedom of religion clause of the 1st Amendment,” Hutson said. “Victory for the bad guys is to cause us to change what we stand for in fundamental ways. This would do that.”

Charles Dunlap, a retired Air Force major general and now a law professor at Duke, expressed puzzlement as to how registration of anyone by religion would add to national security in any way.
“Focusing on religion can be, from a military perspective, counterproductive, as it could serve to incite opposition where they may be none,” he said.
..........................
Chris Inglis, a retired Air National Guard brigadier general and former deputy director of the National Security Agency, seemed at a loss with Trump’s latest salvo.
“I have no particular insights on what Mr. Trump might have meant by his remarks but the law is clear,” he said. “Persons residing in the U.S. are afforded the same protection under the law as U.S. citizens, to include freedom from arbitrary interference with their privacy, freedoms of expression, association, and peaceful assembly, and the requirement of a court’s probable cause finding to conduct non-consensual government surveillance of the content of a given person's communications.”

September 25
When Trump purchased and rebuilt Mar-A-Lago the Grand mansion and estate In Palm beach, Florida he got into a dispute with the city, who are well known for being strict on zoning regulations. Trump put up a 50 foot flag pole even though 30 foot is the maximum allowed. The city imposed a 1,000 dollar fine per day. While Trump and the city argued back and forth, finally when the fine had reached 120,000 dollars Trump proposed a solution. He would donate that amount to veterans organizations, would move the flag and pole to a different location in front of the mansion and would only use a 30 foot flag pole.
The city agreed. So Trump brought in the company who does Golf course construction had them build a 20 foot high grassy hill and put a 30 foot flag pole on top of that.....
Thank you Mr. TRUMP FOR flying our flag high and donating to our veterans your a TRUE AMERICAN...
