Clinton World ‘Stunned’ by ‘Non-reaction’ to Trump’s ‘Vulgarity’

The following appeared in The Hill:

Donald Trump’s public mocking of Hillary Clinton has renewed criticisms of crass, sexist comments by the Republican presidential front-runner.

Clinton’s campaign on Tuesday decided against a frontal attack, with communications director Jennifer Palmieri offering inviting others on Twitter to repudiate Trump’s comments.

But behind the scenes, Team Clinton saw the remarks at a Monday rally as a new low, and some allies predicted they would lead to his demise.

“We are watching the Donald melt down,” predicted Ellen Tauscher, the former congresswoman who served as undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security Affairs under Clinton.

“His racist, sexist, xenophobic rants are now wearing on people generally,” she said.

“Even the folks caught up in the celebrity culture that thought these performances were funny initially, which is stunning, now realize these comments seem predictable and pathetic,” Tauscher added. “What the Donald seems to miss, as he claims he loves women, is that this is a historic election for women and they are done with the juvenile, prurient, potty talk behavior.”

Other political observers contacted by The Hill weren’t so sure.

Trump has a history of attacks on both men and women — notably GOP presidential rival Carly Fiorina and Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly.

Rubio: I Missed Omnibus Bill Because I Was Running to Ensure We Don’t Have Bills Like It In the Future

by IAN HANCHETT22 Dec 2015160

Florida Senator and Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) stated that he missed the vote on the omnibus bill because “I was doing something, and that is running for president so we don’t have to keep doing this in the future” on Tuesday’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” on the Fox News Channel.

Rubio said the outcome was “predetermined.” He added, “we are going to win this election, so the American people are no longer subjected to these kind of votes where the outcome is already predetermined, and at the end of the day, it’s an issue there was no transparency on.”

When pressed on why he didn’t show up, Rubio responded, “I was doing something, and that is running for president so we don’t have to keep doing this in the future. I want to win this race so that we have a president that doesn’t force us to take the garbage that was in that omnibus that was passed last week. A lot of those things that are in that bill are because we have a president that will not sign it unless it has his pet projects, and the things that it had in there like, for example, no changes whatsoever to the Syrian refugee process, which poses a danger to the United States. I’m running to win, so that we have a president that no longer forces upon us votes of this kind, and that’s what I was out there doing, and I’m going to continue to do, because I want to win this race so we no longer are faced with these…choices when it comes to the future of our country.”

RUSH: Coining the Term "Undocumented Democrats"

I've Been Properly Credited for Coining the Term "Undocumented Democrats"

December 22, 2015

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The Weekly Standard has a piece in it that, very, very rarely has this ever happened to me.  In fact, I can't ever remember it happening.  I'm sure it has, 'cause it's been 27 years I've been doing this.  The headline of this -- and it's not a hit piece.  It's not a criticism.  The headline's gonna mislead you.  The headline is:  "No, Ted Cruz Did Not Invent the Term 'Undocumented Democrat.'"

Apparently Senator Cruz has been running around, after this spat with Marco Rubio on immigration and amnesty and legalization, Cruz has been using the term "undocumented Democrat" instead of "illegal alien" as a means of demonstrating what the Democrats' interest in this whole thing is.  So, now that you know that, here's the Weekly Standard story. 

"Consider: In his current quest to out-Trump Trump, Ted Cruz has begun referring to illegal immigrants as 'undocumented Democrats.' This is hardly an original epithet; the phrase has been a staple of the Rush Limbaugh program for at least five years. (The joke migrated to a Jay Leno monologue in 2013 as well.) If there's any story here, it's that Cruz is making a strategic decision to appeal to dittoheads by lifting Rush's language. That is significant insofar as while Limbaugh has not endorsed Trump, he has tended to be very, very friendly towards the real estate mogul on his radio show."

"OK, so perhaps it's too much to ask for Times and NPR reporters to listen to Rush regularly, though given that he remains a singular figure on the right, it would certainly bolster their reporting if they tuned in every now and again. But this is a revealing episode, in that it shows how little many in the mainstream media understand about the American right. This isn't an example of journalists consciously skewing a story; rather, these two reporters at two of the most prestigious news organizations in the United States were simply unaware of the term, because they know nothing of Limbaugh."

Well, here's what's happening is that Cruz is being crucified.  The media can't believe that Cruz would actually call 'em undocumented Democrats.  That's not what they are. They're illegal aliens, they're brilliant people, they're acts of love or whatever they are.  And the Weekly Standard guy's point is, wait a minute, you idiot reporters, do you not know that this term has been floating around for five years and that Cruz is lifting it?  And that's not a criticism.  This guy's criticism is of the reporters upset at Cruz because they are blind.  They willingly ignore the news and the happenings, the thoughts, the fears, all of that of over half the people in this country, i.e., the American right. 

So, again, Weekly Standard story: "This isn't an example of journalists consciously skewing a story; rather, these two reporters at two of the most prestigious news organizations in the United States were simply unaware of the term, because they know nothing of Limbaugh, a massive success whose ratings are roughly on-par with Morning Edition. (Nor, apparently, do they know much about googling; had either reporter simply searched the term 'undocumented Democrat,' they would have seen that Cruz hardly invented it. Indeed, Iowa congressman Steve King, who has endorsed Cruz, used the term in an interview this spring.) And by the way, when Cruz perhaps takes it a step further and starts referring to 'Anchor Democrats,' know that he didn't invent that term either."

I mention this to you because I'm not aware of having been credited. You know, Gorbasm, invented that word, feminazi, invented that word, now part of the American lexicon. (interruption) Well, yes, yes, yes, in some corners and in some bedrooms I do get credit for the term "feminazi," you're right.  But I wouldn't say credit, Mr. Snerdley.  It's more like blame.  I mean, they don't say that happily.  They don't like the term.  But Gorbasm, that was one of the early inventions or creations here.  And of course it corrects the Drive-Bys before I even have the chance to or even the inclination to. 

But I'll tell you what it is.  It's a subtle move by Cruz because it's the only reason that the Democrats support this.  It's not compassion.  It's not humanitarianism.  It's none of that.  I'll say it again.  The Democrat Party requires a dependent and permanent underclass. Now, people in that underclass can improve and move out of it, but they need to be replaced.  The Democrat Party cannot survive if the population as a whole improves itself economically to the point of not being dependent on government.  If that were to ever happen, it'd be the end of the Democrat Party as we know it today.  So they need a permanent underclass.  They need permanent poor people, uneducated people.  And the greater challenge speaking English, the better.  The more dependent, the less educated, the less worldly, the better.  It doesn't matter what the impact on the country is.  All that matters is keeping Democrats in power.  'Cause the Democrats know they're never gonna live where these people live.  So they're never gonna be affected by this, in their own thinking, in their own minds. 

They're never gonna live in barrios. They're never gonna live in ghettos. They're never gonna live in inner cities. They're not gonna live where these people that they bring in the country are gonna end up being.  And they're not gonna hire them, not gonna be around 'em at all.  That's for the rest of us to deal with.  They're gonna be insulated, but they need that permanent underclass.  That's why I proposed, "Hey, look, I would support amnesty, I will join the Democrats, I will join, I will change. In fact I promised to do this, I promised to guarantee a shift in support among my listeners, sizable number, if amnesty had a lasting provision in it that no recipient of amnesty could vote for 25 years."  Call it a poison pill, I wasn't doing anything other than illustrating the truth. 

You put in a provision that the newly amnetized, for lack all of better term, can't vote for 25 years, and, bingo, Democrats stop caring about them.  There's no compassion.  There's no humanitarianism.  Not one person, Republican or Democrat, ever called me on that.  And let me tell you something.  If I were at any day in the future to announce that I've changed my mind and now support comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship with no provisos, they'll be all over me.  They'll call, they'll ask me to join them doing things here, they will celebrate, all of a sudden I become one of the greatest guys in the country.  But when I threw in the requirement they can't vote for 25 years, I was universally, totally ignored by everybody, Democrat, Republican, independent, communist, fascist, socialist, you name it, I didn't hear from one.

Busloads of migrant children fleeing Central America continue arriving at Texas shelters

Texas shelters prepare for another border surge

A recent influx of migrant children—10,000 just within the last two months, compared to the 34,000 children who arrived the last fiscal year—has made temporary placement a priority.

ROCKWALL COUNTY, TEXAS –  Some 170 plus undocumented children from Central America will spend the holidays at Sabine Creek Ranch in Rockwall County, the second facility in north Texas to provide temporary shelter to the now hundreds of children in federal custody.

The 300-bed church camp located 30 miles east of downtown Dallas typically hosts sets of smiling youth groups. But for the next few weeks, the camp will house mostly boys and some girls, ages 12 to 17, primarily from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, as well as a team of support care workers including nursing staff, clinicians and security.

“We needed to bring additional facilities online,” said Andrea Helling, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The federal government works with temporary shelters in multiple states within 250 miles of the border. But a recent influx of migrant children—10,000 just within the last two months, compared to the 34,000 children who arrived the last fiscal year—has made temporary placement a priority.

“It’s a complex, crazy issue,” said Rockwall County Judge David Sweet, who emphasized that county resources were not being used to house the children.

Sweet and other local and federal officials toured the facility, including the on-site command center which has five large TV monitors that track movement into and out of the camps. It also logs all kinds of data, from who is suffering from headaches to who has head lice.

Sweet said county officials asked “a ton and ton of questions” of the BCFS Health and Human Services’ Emergency Management Division, the San Antonio-based nonprofit contracted to handle the migrant children.  

There’s no clear answer as to why so many children are suddenly arriving at the border, though a BCFS official implied that drug cartels are using the children to distract U.S. Border Patrol officers. BCFS has budgeted care costs at $428 per day, per child — though the official said the amount spent so far is under cost.

For the migrant children – many of whom trekked to the U.S./Mexico border within the last few couple of weeks – the bus ride down the two-lane highway in rural Texas is just another part of their long journey. Most will be placed with a relative within the next 21 days, an HHS official said, and will then proceed through the immigration process.

Those not placed will move to another camp. A campsite in Ellis County, 45 minutes south of Dallas, received about 500 kids in early December and a third campsite is expected to open in Somervell County later this month.

In Rockwall County, camp staff welcomes children who arrive in buses by clapping and saying “bienvenidos.”

During a media tour this week, media was prohibited from talking to the children. Groups of children could be seen playing basketball. They were watched over closely by camp counselors and security. Inside, a row of Disney princesses decorated one wall of the girls’ dormitory lined with bunkbeds. A brightly-lit cross anchored a section of a worship building-turned-medical facility.

In another building, a handful of children watched the Disney cartoon “Tangled.” The activities and special meals, including Christmas tamales, are ways camp directors Ed and Sarah Walker hope to provide an active and safe experience for the children, many of whom escaped gang violence and economic hardships.

But not everyone has welcomed them with open arms. Though the community has been largely supportive, according to the Walkers, there have been small protests.

U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, a Republican who represents the area, said he was taken aback that no one was notified in advance that immigrant children would be housed in the temporary shelters near them.

“There was no public meeting organized in advance locally, and no ability to protest the decision,” he said in a statement. “My office was notified two days ago and, at my insistence, local officials were subsequently notified.”

But that’s a stark contrast from places like Murrieta, California, a town that became so angry that immigrant children were being housed there that protesters stopped buses carrying migrants and chanted “Go back home!”

Most in Rockwall County are nonchalant about the immigrants arriving there. Local churches have even donated gifts for the children.

Victor Trevizo, who owns a car dealership about a mile from the church camp, said there’s no need for extra caution.

“I’m fine with it,” said Trevizo, a Mexican immigrant from Chihuahua who came to the U.S. when he was a teenager.

The camp doesn’t get many visitors in December and is often dependent on donations through the down season. But the arrival of the children – at $60 a day per kid to pay for housing and food – has helped pay for a much-needed roof for the dining hall.

“This was very unexpected,” said Walker, who is also the director of the Camp/Sport Leadership Degree program at Dallas Baptist University. “But if you get a call, and you can help, you do that.”

The Walkers purchased the 330 acres now home to Sabine Creek Ranch in 2003 and held a press conference at the gates of the ranch Monday while a herd of cattle looked on.

“These kids are in a completely difficult life situation,” said Sarah Walker, who feels a deep sense of compassion for children navigating a new country alone. “We know that what we’re doing is what’s right.”

Trump Calls Hillary’s Bathroom Break ‘Disgusting,’ Says She ‘Got Schlonged’ by Obama in ’08

by Elizabeth Preza | 11:04 pm, December 21st, 2015

At a Michigan rally Monday, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump said it was “too disgusting” to talk about why Hillary Clinton vanished during Saturday’s Democratic Debate, and later said the Democratic frontrunner was “schlonged” by President Barack Obama in 2008.

“What happened to her? I’m watching the debate and she disappeared. Where did she go?” Trump asked, later adding he thought “she quit.”

Clinton was a minute or so late returning to the main stage during the debate in New Hampshire, reportedly due to a bathroom break. She walked to the podium with a simple “sorry,” garnering applause and laughter from the audience.

“I thought she gave up,” Trump restated. “They had to start the debate without her.”

“I know where she went, It’s disgusting,” Trump continued while the rally audience cheered. “I don’t want to talk about it. It’s too disgusting.”

Later, Trump expanded on his attack, launching into a vulgar retelling of Clinton’s 2008 defeat by Obama. “She was going to beat [Obama,] she was favored to win, and she got schlonged,” Trump said. “She lost, I mean she lost.’

Donald Trump Demands Hillary Apology For Video Lies

by CHARLIE SPIERING21 Dec 20150

Billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump is demanding an apology from Hillary Clinton for claiming that the Islamic State is using videos of his comments about Muslims to recruit fighters.

“You can be the messenger, I will demand an apology from Hillary,” Trump said in an interview with Today show host Matt Lauer this morning.

Trump pointed to Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri’s admission on Sunday that Clinton did not have a specific video in mind.

Trump says he’s not surprised Hillary lied about him.

“She should apologize. She lies about emails. She lies about Whitewater. she lies about everything,” Trump said. “She will be a disaster as president of the United States.”

Report: CBS News, Frank Luntz Cut Muslim-Americans’ U.S. Criticism From Focus Group

by JOHN NOLTE21 Dec 20150

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump hasalready exposed a 14 year-old DC Media  cover up involving numerous Muslim-American celebrations of the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11. Now, according to a new report, in their never-ending quest to disqualify Trump and make serial-liar Hillary Clinton president, CBS News has apparently been caught red-handed cutting footage from a focus group mediated by Establishment Republican Frank Luntz that shows American Muslims criticizing the United States:

The Intercept:

[I]n interviews with The Intercept, two Muslim Americans who took part in the group complained that CBS edited out parts of the discussion where they raised their own concerns — including critiques of U.S. militarism, surveillance, and entrapment.

They also said that Frank Luntz, the right-wing pollster who led the focus group, silenced members of the group when they criticized discriminatory U.S. government policies.

One  woman claimed that she brought up Luntz’s Jewishness:

For example, [Sarah] Harvard wrote that after Luntz asked the group whether they were Americans or Muslims first, she chose to demonstrate the offensive nature of the question by asking, “Well, are you an American or Jewish first?”

From the sound of it, Luntz was far from objective. One participant said:

He kept saying how he felt bad that no one listens to Muslims and how he wanted to give us an opportunity to talk to the general population. But how can that happen when we’re manipulatively edited to have us fit their own narrative and agenda?

According to Ms. Harvard’s own Facebook post, Luntz did not just edit out the inconvenient moments that didn’t fit his desired narrative, he went so far as to silence her when she tore into the American government as a racist institution that has “killed many Muslims.”

He also had silenced me and other participants who have routinely brought up the fact the government has enacted in state violence against the Muslim community — whether that may be through entrapment cases and surveillance programs — and our concerns about institutional racism. He shut me down when I said that President Obama and Hillary Clinton has killed many Muslims under the administration when we were discussing Trump, and ironically for a GOP strategist, he shut me down when I talked about how Democrats have enacted some of the most deadliest and discriminatory policies against Muslims. He also decided to stop letting me speak when I started talking about how Muslims should start focusing on combatting government policies rather than rushing to condemn terrorism or Islamophobia exclusively. They also cut out portions of where participants talked about media accountability when discussing Islam.

As you watch the segment below, it is painfully obvious that Luntz and CBS News had an agenda to show this group as one-dimensional patriots who are victims of discrimination, which is in and of itself a bigoted portrayal.

These are real people with real beliefs. Like all people, the American Muslim community is made up of complicated individuals with their own complicated view of the body politic. From the looks of it, rather than treat people like people, Luntz and CBS News instead chose to treat them as politically correct playthings that could be manipulated into political weapons against Donald Trump.

—

Note how at the end of the segment Luntz  closes by bashing Trump and talks at length about how he didn’t want to manipulate the group. And yet, by removing their criticism of America and the reference about his own Jewishness, that is exactly what he did.

There are few things more racist than patronizing condescension.
