Since 2001, many of the fears that the conspiracy theorists warned us of have proved real.<br /><br />In truth, any democracy (or republic if you like) fears the abuse of power by those they elect. During the Republican period in Rome the one mortal sin for a Roman General (Consul) would be to enter Rome at the head of an army.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-44870822784567583062015-06-17T23:39:51.943-04:002015-06-17T23:39:51.943-04:00However if Quirk tried to pull the same stunt........However if Quirk tried to pull the same stunt.............Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-38284924391652982422015-06-17T23:37:36.069-04:002015-06-17T23:37:36.069-04:00June 17, 2015

There’s been no biological proof that Larry and Ruthanne are my biological parents.”<br /><br /> Guthrie noted that Dolezal’s birth certificate includes both her parents’ names.<br /><br /> “I’m not necessarily saying that I can prove they’re not,” Dolezal responded. “But I don’t know that I can actually prove they are. I mean, the birth certificate is issued a month and a half after I’m born. And certainly there were no medical witnesses to my birth.”<br /><br /> “Have you ever lied about your race?,” Gutherie asked.<br /><br /> “No, ‘cause never have I been asked, ‘Are you human or not human,” Dolezal said.<br /><br /> “You know when someone asks you, ‘Are you black, are you African-American,’ you know exactly what they’re asking you. And for you to say yes, is that an honest answer?” Guthrie clarified.<br /><br /> Dolezal said she had not been asked that question very much before the past few days and reiterated, “Yeah, I do — yeah, I am black.”<br /><br />By all means, let's get that DNA test done pronto. She's going to need it if she ever goes on trial for fraud............<br /><br />Read more: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/06/rachel_dolezal_hits_bottom_keeps_digging.html#ixzz3dNhkXaGY<br />Follow us: @AmericanThinker on Twitter | AmericanThinker on Facebook<br /><br /><br /><br />She won't be tried for fraud, but if she were, I'd like to be on that Jury.<br /><br />I like Rachel, and would find her not guilty, and I hope she gets filthy rich out of all this non sense.<br /><br />!<br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-60459617619804687362015-06-17T23:33:47.783-04:002015-06-17T23:33:47.783-04:00Rachel Dolezal: There’s no proof those two white p... <br />Rachel Dolezal: There’s no proof those two white people are my biological parents<br />Jun 17, 2015 11:21 AM by Allahpundit<br />258 Comments »<br /><br />“I haven’t had a DNA test.”<br /><br />http://hotair.com/archives/2015/06/17/rachel-dolezal-theres-no-proof-those-two-white-people-are-my-biological-parents/<br /><br /><br />But momma has the Birth Certificate and is handing copies out to any reporter that asks.<br /><br />I kinda like Rachel, she is well spoken, even if a little 'daft'.<br /><br /><br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-64991345741058656402015-06-17T23:31:41.572-04:002015-06-17T23:31:41.572-04:00.

For instance, if Trump did manage to build a 'very high wall' along the Mexican border, I can imagine the Mexican government laughing their asses off when he delivered them a bill for it.<br /><br />After the first post you put up on this stream I mentioned that it showed a glimmer of wit. That would indicate to me that you are not completely witless as I had assumed; however, you will have a long difficult road ahead of you if you ever hope to reach even the half-wit category. Given your age I am not optimistic. Likely , the only thing you could hope for would be the satisfaction of the struggle.<br /><br />.<br /><br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-36067841861373664582015-06-17T23:24:55.898-04:002015-06-17T23:24:55.898-04:00Rachel has been saying there were no witnesses to ...Rachel has been saying there were no witnesses to her birth.....Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-27379168769337405712015-06-17T23:23:03.426-04:002015-06-17T23:23:03.426-04:00I was reading on Drudge that a number of these fin...I was reading on Drudge that a number of these fine fellows with felonies on their records that were released by some Obama amnesty plan are now thought to be responsible for over a hundred new murders, with many back in the slammer.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-43048016746697515732015-06-17T23:16:45.651-04:002015-06-17T23:16:45.651-04:00But no, you'd rather they just be allowed to w...But no, you'd rather they just be allowed to walk right on in here, squat, and begin demanding welfare payments, and voting rights.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-13460650863805375532015-06-17T23:14:33.097-04:002015-06-17T23:14:33.097-04:00If you want to live with Mexicans why don't yo...If you want to live with Mexicans why don't you just move to Mexico ?Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-61112673187786682062015-06-17T23:13:04.155-04:002015-06-17T23:13:04.155-04:00Why should it surprise ?

According to the email, Extra Mile was reaching out to potential extras in partnership with Gotham Government Relations and Communications, a New York-Based political consulting group that has worked with Trump in the past. Gotham GR had no comment.<br /><br />Suspicions that the event had hired extras came to light Wednesday when anti-Trump activist Angelo Carusone came across an Instagram photo, showing a man he recognized as a background actor posing at the Trump event. Carusone screengrabbed the photo of the actor, Domenico Del Giacco, and published it in a blog post. Del Giacco has since deleted the account. The photo shows him with a woman, identified in the now-deleted Instagram post as actress Courtney Klotz.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/donald-trump-campaign-offered-actors-803161" rel="nofollow">Just a Gig and a Party</a>Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-69328593604048651012015-06-17T19:55:09.053-04:002015-06-17T19:55:09.053-04:00Donald Trump's big presidential announcement T...Donald Trump's big presidential announcement Tuesday was made a little bigger with help from paid actors — at $50 a pop.<br /><br />New York-based Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to its client list of background actors, seeking extras to beef up attendance at Trump's event.<br /><br />"We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement," reads the June 12 email, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

All of these guys have something good to say. ....<br /><br />All of these guys have something good to say. Trump, for instance, has called out all his potential rivals as nitwits. He gets down and dirty and people, including me, like the way he exposes the bullshit we have been seeing from these guys. It's like a running Don Rickles skit only funnier and more pointed. For instance, pointing out the hypocrisy, he says of Bush, 'what's with this guy walking around in shirt sleeves. Put on a tie and coat, for god's sake, your running for president of the United States.'.<br /><br />That's pretty much the limit of the good stuff though so far. Well, with the exception of his kinda statement that he wouldn't be accepting corporate funds for his campaign. Unlikely, but if true, a big selling point with the public who are sick of having to vote for candidates who are already bought and paid for. <br /><br />Then when it comes to policy, he negates any good he does with statements like how he will build a huge wall at the southern border and 'make Mexico pay for it.' Unfortunately, there are a lot of Americans who could buy into his nationalistic/jingoistic/populist (though ridiculous) spiel.<br /><br />Another example. Saw an interview with Lindsay Graham today. He actually made some sense up to a point. He stated that the current strategy against ISIS is failing. He suggested everyone responsible for creating it should be fired. He suggested that if we are going to continue along the current course, we should just pack up and leave. When asked about the suggestion that Iran is gaining influence in Iraq because of Baghdad's dependence and deference to Tehran, he suggested that, given the current situation, it only makes sense. He would do the same thing if he were them. All thoughts I could agree with.<br /><br />However, when he suggests that sending 10,000 US troops there, even as advisers, will make the difference and allow us to 'degrade and <b>destroy</b> ISIS in Iraq, I have to disagree with him. The first thing that would have to be overcome would be al-Abadi's objections to a major increase US troops. The second would be the attitude of the Iraqi troops. The US recently recruited 24,000 Iraqi troops for special training by the current US troops there. Of the 24,000, only 7,000 showed up for the training. It is still unknown how many of that 7,000 will simply bug out after the training. Finally, there is no way the proposed actions will ever<b>destroy</b> ISIS in Iraq. For instance, when asked how we can destroy ISIS in Iraq when they still hold large swaths of Syria, Graham suggested we needed to increase support for the moderate militants in Syria. Moderate Syrian militants?<br /><br />At any rate, I initially thought the GOP was nutz with all the various candidates they had running; however, now though it is still a running gag line, we can still get a bit of enlightened thought mixed with the laughs, though to date I am still waiting for some actual solutions mixed in with the unspecific generalizations and pablum we are being fed.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-48201318430200198462015-06-17T17:29:41.284-04:002015-06-17T17:29:41.284-04:00It's gonna be better this year, though; we go...It's gonna be better this year, though; we got de Donald. :) :) :)Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-80196368453507462972015-06-17T17:26:18.699-04:002015-06-17T17:26:18.699-04:00The national presidential election is a farce, mea...The national presidential election is a farce, meaningless and cynical theater.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.com
