SummerSnow's JournalRupert Murdoch: Carson could be ‘a real black president’
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch on Wednesday said Republican Ben Carson would be “a real black president,” implying doubts about President Obama’s connection to minorities.
The chairman and CEO of News Corporation tweeted Wednesday night: “Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.”
As though anticipating questions about Obama, Murdoch tweeted moments later with a call to read a New York Magazine article titled “The Paradox of the First Black President.”

Murdoch has made a habit of tweeting positive things about Carson. He wrote last week: “Everywhere pundits keep underestimating Ben Carson. But public understand humility as admirable, listen to the multi-faceted strong message.”
He also touted a poll that had Carson ahead of Donald Trump, who has been leading most GOP presidential primary polls in recent months.
In September, Murdoch said Carson was “maybe the one to beat” and “irreproachable on background, achievements, character, vision.”
He also compared Carson favorably to Obama on race, writing: “2 stories. Carson, Detroit ghetto to brilliant neurosurgeon. Obama white upbringing to community organizer. Sincere men, different values.”

** So only black Presidents are required to address the racial divide?** STFU
Trump says in his 60 Minutes interview ...
that he will make 'China behave'. But never said how this would be done. Wonder how he plans to do that? 
If ever you thought that Donald Trump isn't qualified to be POTUS...
watch his disastrous interview on 60 minutes right now. Unfreaking believeable.
Cop Threatens To Send Latino Family 'Back To The F**king Border'

Footage in which a police officer in Passaic, New Jersey can be heard threatening a Latino couple has incited hundreds of community members to demand his dismissal from the force.
Sgt. Roy Bordamonte's voice was caught on cell phone video cursing and shouting at Jazmin Vidal and her boyfriend while they sat on their porch, The Record reports.
Vidal told NBC New York that the officer drove up and started talking to them, and became incensed after they asked him to get out of his vehicle.
In the footage, which started gaining attention online this month, the cell phone camera is trained on Vidal and her boyfriend, and the police officer’s voice and radio can be heard in the background.
“You go to school?” Bordamonte says. “What school? What are you, fucking special ed? You fucking idiot. You might be an idiot because you mouthed off. That’s why you’re going to get this ticket.”
He then starts threatening to have the man's family deported:
I’m going to knock on your door and I’m going to check your mom and dad’s ID, and all your fucking cousins, and when they give me that bullshit fucking name, I’m gonna have immigration pick everybody up so they can go back to the fucking border in Puebla or where the fuck they came from and all that work … they came to America, you fucked it up.
The video prompted a rally of hundreds of people outside the Passaic City Hall Tuesday night, demanding the officer be fired. NBC New York notes that 70 percent of the residents of Passaic identify as Hispanic or Latino.
Thursday saw a crowd of about 150, still pushing for the department to either fire Bordamonte or force him to resign. Organizer Diomedes Minaya told The Record that Bordamonte is known for giving out meaningless citations.
“People get stopped on the street for nothing,” Minaya said. “The police are abusing their power.”
The Passaic police department has not replied to a request for comment by The Huffington Post, but Passaic Mayor Alex Blanco released a statement urging residents to stay calm while the city investigates the matter.
Bordamonte was the head of the department’s bias crimes unit, which investigates racially motivated crimes, though Police Chief Rosario Capuana removed Bordamonte from the unit after becoming aware of the video. Bordamonte remains in charge of the “Quality of Life” unit, though he’s placed on desk duty for the time being, according to a memo obtained by The Record.
An online petition to remove Bordamonte from the department has more than 2,000 signatures.
** This is going to start being a common thing I believe**

The media is fixed on Trumps answer to the guy who called for ethnic cleansing in America.
Trump: "There's alot of bad things, were looking at them. Things are going to change"
I would love to see Jeb on Bill Maher show.
Maher: " So Jeb didn't 9/11 happen under your brothers watch, then how did he keep us safe?"
Jeb!: " Um, *screams fire!!*"

Trump is right about North Korea, why the silence on North Korea's nuclear direct threat?
They spent so much time threatening Iran.
North Korea warns U.S. it's ready to use nuclear weapons 'any time'
http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/15/asia/north-korea-nuclear-program/
(CNN)In its latest bout of saber rattling, North Korea says it is ready to use nuclear weapons against the United States and other foes if they pursue "their reckless hostile policy" toward Kim Jong Un's regime.
In a statement carried by the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency on Tuesday, an atomic energy official said Pyongyang is improving its nuclear weapons arsenal "in quality and quantity."
"If the U.S. and other hostile forces persistently seek their reckless hostile policy towards the DPRK and behave mischievously, the DPRK is fully ready to cope with them with nuclear weapons any time," the director of the North Korean Atomic Energy Institute said, using an abbreviation of the country's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
North Korea's main nuclear complex at Yongbyon, which includes a uranium enrichment plant and a plutonium production reactor, is operating normally, the official told the news agency.
** No inspections for NK ?**
Do you think Donald Trump can brag his way to become Commander in Chief?
I'm going to call his demise the Sarah Palin effect. If he does win the primaries, how will he fair in a one on one debate , a town hall meeting, serious questions about foreign and domestic policy. Healthcare,the military, education, infrastructure, employment and unemployment, etc. Could you imagine him doing a state of the union address?
