AND THE WINNER IS...................

You MAY know this already.... I didn't!

1 - Remember the time Donald Trump's son was arrested for mob violence?

Oh, wait!  That was VP candidate Tim Kaine's son...

The youngest son of U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 running mate, was one of six people arrested Saturday after counter-protesters disrupted a rally in support of President Donald Trump at the Minnesota State Capitol.
Linwood Michael Kaine, 24, and four others were arrested on suspicion of second-degree riot after the “March 4 Trump” rally in St. Paul; a sixth person was cited for disorderly conduct. Counter-protesters clashed with Trump supporters in the Capitol rotunda after they disrupted the proceedings with air horns, whistles and chants. At one point, someone set off a smoke bomb.
Linwood Kaine, a Minneapolis resident who attended Carleton College and goes by Woody, was released from the Ramsey County jail on Tuesday morning pending further investigation, law enforcement officials said.
2 -  Hey Remember when Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton used his political power to free a Muslim criminal and then that guy murdered a child?

OOPS - no!  That was Senator Chuck Schumer.

Tanveer Hussain was one of two men initially denied visas to travel to the United States in the chaotic days following the Trump administration’s travel ban. The reasons for the rejections remain unclear — India is not among the seven countries named in Trump’s executive order — but after the intervention of Saranac Lake’s mayor and the office of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi reversed its decision.

Hussain, 24, was arrested and charged with felony sexual abuse and child welfare endangerment of a 12-year-old, police said.
3 - Remember the time Donald Trump's son killed 21 dogs in a kennel because of his negligence and used his family's influence to have the charges dropped?

Oh wait - that was Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake's son

December, 2014
PHOENIX (Reuters) - Animal cruelty charges against the son and daughter-in-law of U.S. Senator Jeff Flake and two others will be dismissed after new information came to light about the deaths of 21 dogs at a suburban Phoenix kennel in June, prosecutors said on Monday.    Authorities said the dogs died from overheating and suffocation caused by sweltering conditions in a cramped room of the pet boarding facility while the owners were away in Florida, leaving the animals in the care of Austin and Logan Flake. 
4 - Hey Remember when Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump used money intended for the Haitian hurricane relief effort to pay for her extravagant wedding?

OH NO, sorry, that was Chelsea Clinton.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/06/clinton-aide-targets-chelsea-in-email-as-foundation-audit-shows-issues.html
November 6, 2016
Former President Bill Clinton’s top aide wrote in 2012 that Chelsea Clinton used Clinton Foundation resources “for her wedding and life for a decade” and a top Foundation donor was responsible for “killing” unfavorable press coverage – all as an internal Foundation audit uncovered numerous conflicts of interest and “quid pro quo benefits,” according to emails released Sunday by WikiLeaks.
Democrats and the liberal media would destroy anyone running in a campaign with this kind of scandal as baggage. And these incidents, just the tip of the nepotism/political iceberg, were barely even covered by the media.

Still think there's no liberal elite media bias? 

This is from an email, but I checked each of these events for validity and included the links.... Our government is a cesspool of this sort of shit and it will only get worse until America is no more.

THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES... [UPDATED 10/18/2017]

In June, 2015, before their summer recess, the Supreme Court ruled that 'states cannot ban gay marriage.'  This was hailed as a huge victory for the gay community.  President Obama lit the White House with the rainbow in celebration.


Fast-forward to 2017.

Rising healthcare costs, and the failure of Obamacare, are forcing employers to re-evaluate their healthcare coverage for their employees, and more and more of them are 'axing domestic partner benefits in favor of SPOUSAL BENEFITS.'  In other words, companies are requiring gay couples to MARRY before they will cover the non-employee's healthcare.

The unintended consequences of this, or I should say an 'side effect' will be that gays will be subjected to SANCTIONED DIVORCES, same as the straight community, and will involve things like alimony, child CUSTODY and support, division of property, etc.  It will also stop the practice, however small, of changing 'partners' in order to get an ill 'friend' medical coverage for any malady.  (Don't know if this IS an issue, but if it was, it's now OVER with many insurers.
So far, about 12% of companies, including Delta, IBM and Verizon, have nixed 'partner' benefits.***
Expect this practice to increase with insurers, as the cost of coverage grows.

*** From the Kiplinger Letter, 8/25/17

UPDATE:  10/18/2017


Unmarried gay and lesbian couples looking for domestic partner health care benefits may have a shock this open enrollment season, especially if they work for small- or medium-size employers. The 2018 Open Enrollment period runs from November 1, 2017 to December 15, 2017.

(GETTING TO KNOW) THE REAL JOHN MCCAIN

By Burma Davis Posey



This is John McCain's home in Arizona. Not bad for a man who worked in the military, left the military and then ran for Congress. He has been in Congress since 1983...for 34 years.

McCain graduated 894th in his class of 899 students from the Naval Academy. He was known for being wild and it usually revolved around women. He was a member of a group of students who called themselves "The Bad Bunch".

He married Carol Shepp who was a successful swimsuit model. She had been married to one of his classmates and had two children from her first marriage. She and McCain became parents for a daughter one year later. He had been quite a playboy and was already becoming bored with the domesticated life. He requested active duty in Vietnam. While he was there Carol faithfully stayed at home looking after the children and waiting anxiously for news about her husband. His plane was shot down in 1967 and he became a POW.

On Christmas Eve 1969 Carol and the children were spending the holiday with her parents. After dinner she was going to take gifts to some friends. The road was icy and she slid head-on into a telephone pole. She was thrown from the car through the front window. Her legs, spine and right
arm were crushed and she was in the hospital for 6 months. Ross Perot was an advocate of POW's and he paid her medical bills. She requested that John not be told because she felt he already had enough to deal with.

McCain was released in 1973 and returned home to much fanfare. Carol had several surgeries, lost 5 inches in height and gained some weight. McCain told reporters he was overjoyed to see Carol again. But friends say privately he was ‘appalled’ by the change in her appearance.

As a war hero, McCain was moving in ever-more elevated circles. "He started carousing and running around with women", reported Robert Timberg. Bob Timberg was a retired Marine, an American journalist, writer and author of four books, including THE NIGHTINGALE'S SONG and JOHN MCCAIN: AN AMERICAN ODYSSEY.

McCain admitted he started having many girlfriends and affairs during this time. On one trip to Hawaii he met an Anheuser Busch distributer heiress Cindy Hensley at a cocktail party. She was 17 years younger than McCain and worth $100 million dollars. He invited her to have drinks with him at the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel. He said by the end of the evening he was in love.

They had an affair for nine months while he was still married to and living with his wife Carol. McCain wanted to marry Cindy but needed first to get a divorce. He and Carol separated in January 1980. He requested a divorce in February, the divorce was sped along and granted in April. He and Cindy married 5 weeks after the divorce was final on May 17, 1980. Carol and their children were devastated. McCain callously left his first wife and children behind. He and Cindy moved to Arizona. Cindy's father was well-connected and helped McCain move smoothly into Congress representing Arizona in Washington DC.

McCain's new wife and her family were extravagantly wealthy. Her father was one of the largest distributors of Anheuser Busch in the country and she was an only child. The divorce settlement afforded Carol McCain full custody of their three children, alimony, child support, including college tuition, houses in Virginia and Florida and lifelong financial support for her continuing medical treatment from the car accident.

Carol said the reason for the divorce was John turned 40 and he wanted to be 25 again. Carol was extremely hurt. She went to work as the press assistant for soon-to-be First Lady Nancy Reagan. She became loved and respected in Washington. She kept a dignified silence about the horrendous way McCain had treated her.

Some of the McCain friends were less forgiving, however. They portray the politician as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons.

Despite his popularity as a politician there are those who have not forgotten his treatment of his first wife. Ted Sampley, who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnam is now a leading campaigner for veterans’ rights.

Ted said, "I have been following John McCain’s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally.  There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is...deceit."

"When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind he started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew it. Eventually he met Cindy and she was young, beautiful and very wealthy. McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better."

"This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. Yet he has no character. He is a fake."

Ross Perot, who paid Carol’s medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel, even by the standards of modern politics. Mr. Perot said, "McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory." After he came home Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.

A man who cannot be faithful to a loving, self-sacrificing wife cannot be trusted to be faithful to the American people.

Cindy has also had to learn the lessons about her husband the hard way. Even though she and McCain put on a perfect front for the public, especially when he is running for office, she really is an invisible wife to him.

Tom Gosinski, who served as director of Cindy McCain’s nonprofit American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT) wrote in his journal about the McCain marriage:

"During my short tenure at AVMT I have been surrounded by what on the surface appears to be the ultimate all-American family. In reality, I am working for a very sad, lonely woman. Her marriage of convenience to a
U.S. Senator has driven her to distance herself from friends, cover feelings of despair with drugs and replace lonely moments with self-indulgences. She became addicted to Percocet and had a doctor prescribing them for her illegally. When her parents learned she was taking them they helped her stop.

Washington rumors were saying McCain had an inappropriate relationship with the young and lovely lobbyist, Vicki Iseman. Ms. Iseman began visiting McCain's offices and campaign events so frequently in 2000 that his aides were "convinced the relationship had become romantic". One staff member supposedly asked, "Why is she always around?" His staff members began a campaign to "save McCain from himself" by restricting Iseman's access to McCain during the course of the 2000 presidential primary. According to
the Washington Post, McCain's political advisor John Weaver met with Iseman at Washington's Union Station to tell Iseman not to see McCain anymore.

It is not a real marriage between John and Cindy McCain. Real marriages usually involve living together. McCain and Cindy have not "lived" together for 20 years. To defend this, McCain brags the family takes two vacations together every year and Ms. McCain is the one who has always made that happen."

Two vacations per year?  What a farce and fake! Nothing about this man is real. He has no compassion or empathy for anyone except himself. The only real thing emotion he is capable of is anger. He is famous for his anger.

His father and grandfather were both decorated Navy Admirals. He was given special privileges and extreme preferential treatment while he served in the Navy. He was a pilot but according to his colleagues he was a very bad pilot. He actually crashed three planes. There was a horrendous incident that happened on his aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Forrestal, that killed 134 men. There has been a debate since the incident with some being convinced John McCain was responsible for this accident. Others are angry about anyone who would dare speak against a Naval officer and embarrass an entire branch of service.

Many witnesses have reported that McCain was guilty of a "wet start". When a pilot wants to be a show off, with a "wet start" his engine start creates a large startling flame and lots of surprise noise from the rear of a jet engine on start up. McCain did the "Wet Start". It was not an accident. The flames from the wet start torched off the launching of a powerful Zuni rocket on the plane behind him. The Zuni rockets were famous for having electrical problems. It shot across the carrier’s deck hitting other parked planes that were packing 1,000 high-explosive pound bombs. This caused the bombs to explode. The subsequent massive explosions, fire and destruction went several decks below and nearly sunk this major 82,000 ton U.S. aircraft carrier.

This stunt and aftermath caused the death of 134 sailors and blew off arms, legs and caused blindness and burns to another 161 sailors. McCain jumped from his plane, rolled across the flames and escaped. He watched the men dying and the burning from a closed circuit television on the ship. Sadly all of those lives were lost.

They had to take the ship off the battle line for 2 years when it had to be taken back to port for $76 million dollars of extensive repairs. That does not include the cost of replacing the airplanes or ammunition.

Other Navy pilots causing this type of death and destruction would have been arrested and would probably still be in prison. Why didn't this happened to John McCain?

McCain's grandfather was a famous FOUR STAR Navy admiral and his dad, at the time of the incident, was also a powerful illustrious FOUR STAR Navy admiral. McCain had graduated from the Naval Academy. Witnesses say the good ole boy Navy tradition went into high gear immediately. McCain was not even reprimanded. When there is a cover-up, the soldier is usually simply assigned to another ship. McCain was quietly assigned to another ship. There is an ongoing debate about the incident to this day.

John McCain's lack of character was further demonstrated when he voted not to repeal Obamacare. He had run his 2016 Senatorial race under the banner he would LEAD the fight to repeal Obamacare. He hates Donald Trump so very much he gleefully held his thumb down for his vote rather than a thumbs up. He laughed afterwards and said, "Let's see Donald Trump save America now!"

What a horrible man. He stabbed his constituents and the citizens of America in the back. Liberal socialists now call him their hero.

McCain has recently discovered he has a brain tumor. I am genuinely sorry for anyone who has to face a health issue especially when it involves cancer. The fact that he now has a brain tumor does not change the horrendous things he has done in his life because of his extremely low flawed character.

If Senator McCain's own health care was dependent on the Obamacare he has continued to saddle the American people with, I guarantee he would not have voted thumbs-down. But because he married a wealthy heiress and has plenty of money to take care of his own health needs, he does not care.

What a guy...what a guy!

INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY AND WHO CAN SERVE - PLEASE MAKE A NOTE

Best response I've seen in regards to the the negative feedback about transgenders being banned from the military...

On joining the military:

Nobody has a RIGHT to serve in the military.  Nobody!!!

What makes people think the military is an equal opportunity employer???  Very far from it!!!

The military uses prejudice regularly and consistently to deny citizens from joining for being too old or too young, too fat or too skinny, too tall or too short.

Citizens are denied for having flat feet, or for missing or additional fingers.  Poor eyesight will disqualify you, as well as bad teeth.  Malnourished?  Drug addiction?  Bad back?  Criminal history?  Low IQ?  Anxiety?  Phobias?  Hearing damage?  Six arms?  Hear voices in your head?  Self-identify as a Unicorn?  Need a special access ramp for your wheelchair?  Can't run the required course in the required time?  Can't do the required number of push-ups?

Not really a 'morning person' and refuse to get out of bed before 7:30 a.m.?

All can be reasons for denial.

The military has one job.  WAR (We break things and kill bad people) Anything else is a distraction and a liability.

Did someone just scream 'That isn't Fair'?  War is VERY unfair, there are no exceptions made for being special or challenged or socially wonderful.

YOU change yourself to meet military standards - not the other way around.

I say again:  You don't change the military... you must change yourself!!!

The military doesn't need to accommodate anyone with special issues.  The military needs to WIN WARS.

If any of your personal issues are a liability that detract from readiness or lethality, the military thanks you for applying and good luck in future endeavors.  Who's next in line???

Signed:

Sgt. Robert Brown, US Army
