    CNN just quoted Trump as saying that "racial profiling was necessary" in order to combat terror, when what he actually said was that "profiling was necessary." They added the word "racial."

    There will always be someone wanting to control others. It's nice to think about world peace, but not everyone wants to live in peace. If armies didn't show up to a war, unofficial armies such as ISIS would, and we'd have to deal with them or be overrun.

    @Diane Lane " unofficial armies such as ISIS would"

    Which was "unofficially" created by funding and weaponry by U.S. Government, ostensibly to oust Bashar Assad from power, but instead, it now issues forth to attempt poisoning OUR existence, while Assad remains.

    It seems that's often the case. We and others set plans in motion to one end, and end up with something totally different. If only we were as effective as Obama in carrying out his plan to fundamentally transform America.

    Yesterday I wanted to see Benjamin Natanyahu make his speech at the UN. It was on FOX news. After all Israel is about our only Allie in the Middle East. I seen half of it and a Breaking Alert came across the screen. Cameras were switched over to lady Lynch, and the protests, riots in Charlotte, NC. I had a chance to see BiBi and hear his speech in it's entirety on the Internet. Guess you pick and choose what news you want to see and here on the Internet.:)

    Netanyahu is intensely disliked by the Democratic Machine, mainly, I think, because he is a man who speaks what he believes freely and openly, no mealy-mouthed responses or impressions given. I have been in hot water more than once for making it clear how much I respect this man. I'll say it again: If only he could run our country.

    What puzzled me was I was watching FOX news not CNN the Clinton News Network. Yes I've heard and read many negative things about him too. I also have great respect and admiration for him. Maybe some didn't like Golda Maier When she was prime minster, and even less that she chained smoked through the whole Yom Kipper War. She was a real image of my grandmother dad's mom, only grams didn't smoke.lol Getting back to BiBi his speech I found in it's entirety on Youtube, but have to look closely because they have more then one of his speeches. People don't even know about Yoni Netanyahu BiBi's brother who was second in command "Operation Thunderbolt" where he lost his life. It became a movie, "Victory at Entebbe." :)

    I watched a PBS Frontline episode about Netanyahu, and I was surprised how evenhanded it was. I had expected them to really slam him, but at least if they were, I respected the issues they brought up. You have to remember that Fox is owned in part by Saudis, and they are also funding Killary, and I'm sure they're no fans of his, so they would be fine with having his speech off the air.

    I suspect that deep down, among Israel's enemies, there exists a strong degree of fear, which might explain certain moderations expressed by those enemies. In short, I wouldn't mess with Netanyahu too deeply!

    Didn't know that about FOX news. They seem to give fair accounts on Trump. In fact change over from CNN because of their bias opinions. I really didn't care about opinions but wanted to see him make his speech at the UN. Will go on Youtube for Netanyahu speeches. Either that or Haaritz news on line, Jerusalem Post on line. :)

    Well gosh I wonder why nobody believes media anymore. When Shepard Smith does his spiel on nobody survives a CAT-5 hurricane, and everybody is dead, they need a miracle. Kind of hard to do when everybody is dead. Me and Pip at the time 11 yrs.old survived Hurricane Andrew CAT-5 with the eye of it right over us. We were laughing at Smith, Pip saying this was cartoon time, Funny Ha Ha. I'm tired of the debates, and political scene.:rolleyes:

    Be cautious about saying "nobody believes media anymore, Marilyn. Though it was long ago, after the various Clinton revelations involving the Whitewater Property being used as a drop-off point for South American drug shipments, two teen-aged boys who witnessed planes dropping something to the ground there, they being found dead after "falling asleep on the RR tracks, the number of people associated with the Clinton's political residency in Arkansas who died under dubious circumstances, the number of others closely associated with the Clintons who "turned up dead, ......I swore that no way in hell could the man be re-elected. Yet, amazingly, he was. Fishy? God-damned right, it was. To this day, I still don't believe it. Those events forever swayed my lifelong belief in the "American Way" as having been fictitious.

    He WAS re-elected.

    I'm laughing but I honestly believe that there are so many people that have chosen to believe in false idols and even literally worship them I believe this is at the root of the insanity.

    I think people only listen half and maybe believe in a fourth of this media tripe and drama dives reporters that do such stupid spiels. I've heard this more then once, "The blame of all that's wrong is with Trump, "during his presidency." He is only a candidate and to my knowledge hasn't become president YET. Do they even listen to themselves? And I'm still upset of what happen to Victor Thorn that wasn't mention on the big 3 or 5 news stations. I found that out reading the Daily Beast. He was murdered because of his books about the Clintons especially his book the "Clinton Trilogy. (Very good read and explains what you have in your post). " Victor went out and committed suicide when his new book was coming out. He was murdered:)
