Watch Trump dominate the news cycle

When Donald Trump calls for the “complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the country, his detractors claim, “He’s appealing our fears.”  Uh, no, he’s appealing to our common sense.  Trump’s plan for restricting Muslims entering the US is appealing not because we are afraid of the Islamo-Terror-Fascists excrement heads but rather because WE KNOW Islam is populated with a high percentage of murderous azzbags and/or those compliant with or in support of their murderous mission.

This is once again the Donald being the Donald.  He says something so obvious - as illegal as it may be – that the masses say, “HELL YES.”  His detractors take the bait and condemn him.  He dominates the news cycle for a week or two on something that appears common sense to most people.  Today or tomorrow Trump will pivot to the second part of his statement – until we can “figure out what’s going on.”

So a reporter will say, “You have called for a complete shutdown of Muslims entering the country.”  Trump interrupts, “No I said we need to know what the hell is going on with people coming into this country.”  “No you said you wanted a ‘complete shutdown of Muslims’ entering the country.”  The Donald, “What you want people coming into this country intent on blowing us up?  We have to know who is coming into the country.”   He will have a long list of vetting foul ups and then say he will do a fantastic job of vetting all immigrants.   The tag line will be something as common sense as, “we have to know who is coming into the country.”  By the end of the interview the story will be “The Donald will find out what the hell is going on.”

My advice is to ignore the bait and take the pivot point.  Ted Cruz, when asked about the Donald’s “complete shutdown” comment, should ignore the bait and go straight to, “The Donald is right we need to know who is coming into the country.  If we don’t know who you are, irrespective of religion, you cannot come in.”  You then have co-opted the issue with none of the outwardly racist tone.  Ted, call me.  I’ll get you on track with this.

No word yet from Lo Lynch if Trump’s First Amendment rights have been trumped by Lo’s law against anti-Muslim rhetoric or if those comments have been determined by Lo to be “edging toward violence.”

Fox News contributor tells truth is suspended
Fox News contributor Ralph Peters is sure to be added to a no fly list or two and his chances of being audited by the IRS just went up 10,000%.   Why?  Well he told the brutal truth about the know nothing, do nothing, be nothing, sail eared, affirmative action pass through POS known on this page as The Empty Suit:

“Mr. President, we’re not afraid. We’re angry. We’re pissed off. We’re furious. We want you to react. We want you to do something. You’re afraid. I mean, this guy is such a total pussy, it’s stunning. We, the American people, who he does not know in any intimate sort of manner, we want action. We want action against Islamic State.”

Mr. Peters was suspended as a Fox News contributor for two weeks for his truism.  As regular readers of this page know, in many cases, the truth is no defense.
