Trump: I should have Secret Service protection

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/256850-trump-i-should-have-secret-service-protection


NEW YORK — Donald Trump on Tuesday said the Secret Service should be giving him protection — and he suggested partisan politics might be why the agency isn’t providing it.

In a 90-minute interview with The Hill, the Republican presidential front-runner pointed out that he has attracted large crowds just like Barack Obama did eight years ago as a White House candidate and that by this point in the 2008 cycle, the Illinois senator had Secret Service protection.

Trump doesn’t, and he’s not happy about it.
“I want to put them on notice because they should have a liability,” he said. “Personally, I think if Obama were doing as well as me he would’ve had Secret Service [earlier]. I have by far the biggest crowds.”

Obama was given Secret Service protection on May 3, 2007. At the time, law enforcement officials acknowledged it was unusually early in the presidential cycle to grant a presidential candidate protection, but also said it was not based on specific threats.

Pressed on details, Trump asked one of his private security officers to describe the discussions the Secret Service has had with his campaign. The talks were described as preliminary, and the Trump camp says the Secret Service had not provided a definitive answer on when — or if — the billionaire businessman will receive government protection.

“They’re in no rush because I’m a Republican. They don’t give a shit,” Trump said jokingly.

It was an off-the-cuff remark he later clarified.


**No Donny, remember your'e rich as you remind us all the time. You said you even turn down money etc. So why don't you just hire some "people that you know" to protect you.

" 'I've talked to some folks who work there and it's very difficult, especially when you have all the hit pieces that are done on Obama,' Butler said.

"His comments come as Rupert Murdoch continues to face criticism over a controversial tweet on Wednesday that insinuated President Obama isn't 'a real black president.' Murdoch apologized on Thursday.

"But those disillusioned staffers also told Butler, 'Look, this is a job, I have to do it, and sometimes you have to just hold your nose and do what you have to do to collect a paycheck.' Butler, who served as president of the NABJ from 2013-2015, said those employees are good producers who pride themselves on covering news.

"Regarding Murdoch's comments suggesting the president isn't an authentic black president, a dumbfounded Butler wondered 'what does that even mean?'

"He's not surprised Murdoch isn't a fan of Obama judging by the editorial policies of his properties, but wouldn't call him a racist.

" 'I always stop short of saying someone is being blatantly racist,' Butler continued before saying it's troubling for Murdoch, who isn't black, to be deciding who is 'black enough. '. . ."

Gingrich open to return to Speakership

By Bradford Richardson

Newt Gingrich said he would consider taking up the Speaker’s gavel again if called upon to by House Republicans.

The former Speaker initially denied any interest in a return to Congress, but when pressed in an interview with radio show host Sean Hannity on Thursday, admitted he would consider it if he had the votes.

“If you were to say to me 218 have called you up and given you their pledge, obviously no citizen could ever turn down that kind of challenge,” Gingrich said, as first reported by the Washington Free Beacon.


He compared the scenario to George Washington coming out of retirement to become America’s first president.
“This is why George Washington came out of retirement — because there are moments you can’t avoid,” Gingrich said.

Despite his willingness to take the House’s top job, Gingrich downplayed his chances, saying he would face many of the same obstacles as House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who abruptly dropped out of the race for Speaker on Thursday.

Anyone watch Bill Maher last night on Real Time?

Do you think he was mean when he told conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan, " enough about your mother."

They were talking about big pharmaceutical companies and he went to say his mother suffers from depression and uses anti depressants, then Maher said, "ok enough about your mother"

Rep. Paul Ryan on House speaker's job: Thanks, but no thanks

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/10/08/rep-paul-ryan-wisconsin-house-speakers-job-thanks-but-no-thanks/73588750/


WASHINGTON — When Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., announced he was withdrawing his candidacy for House speaker Thursday, eyes quickly turned to the next logical candidate, Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, a former GOP vice presidential nominee who has earned respect among the mainstream and conservative wings of the party.

Even McCarthy told National Review on Thursday, “I personally want Paul Ryan.”

But almost as quickly — within the hour — Ryan’s office blasted out a statement saying thanks, but no thanks.

"While I am grateful for the encouragement I’ve received, I will not be a candidate,” he said.

Since he was the vice presidential nominee in 2012, Ryan has consistently been cited as a possible candidate for higher office, including for president earlier this year. Each time, he has passed, saying he wants to stay put. He reiterated that stance Thursday.

“I continue to believe I can best serve the country and this conference as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee,” Ryan said.

The new stupid.....

Ben Carson Blames Holocaust On Gun Control


The Anti-Defamation League says these sorts of comments are "historically inaccurate and offensive."

Ben Carson, a candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, blamed the Holocaust on Nazi gun control in an interview on CNN Thursday.

Host Wolf Blitzer read a section from Carson's book, A More Perfect Union, in which Carson writes:

German citizens were disarmed by their government in the late 1930s, and by the mid-1940s Hitler's regime had mercilessly slaughtered six million Jews and numerous others whom they considered inferior ... Through a combination of removing guns and disseminating deceitful propaganda, the Nazis were able to carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance.
"I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed," Carson elaborated in the interview. "There's a reason these dictatorial people take the guns first."

The Anti-Defamation League, which monitors and responds to anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry, has long opposed the use of Nazi comparisons in the U.S. gun control debate. "The idea that supporters of gun control are doing something akin to what Hitler’s Germany did to strip citizens of guns in the run-up to the Second World War is historically inaccurate and offensive, especially to Holocaust survivors and their families," Abraham Foxman, the ADL's national director at the time, said in 2013.

The 1938 law did ban Jews from owning guns. But as the ADL explained in 2013, "the small number of personal firearms in the hands of the small number of Germany’s Jews (about 214,000) remaining in Germany in 1938 could in no way have stopped the totalitarian power of the Nazi German state," which eventually conquered most of Europe.
