I will be one of the first to say I would vote for Trump. I'm tired of politicians. He says it the way it is and has the balls to stick by his opinion. He could have said the exact same thing differently but then again, he would sound like a politician. He doesn't need money, power, fame, or recognition. I think he feels as most do here about our economy, the military, the police, handouts, savages, immigration, the border, America, and obeying the law. His voice is heard because he has the money to make people hear it. IMO if he targets his campaign on the issues and goes after Hillary and calls her out on all her sh#t like a bulldog, he will get the backing of the GOP and the other candidates and as the true politicians they are, they will fall behind lock step and support him. My Trump Rant Enjoy your weekend. Think!

PROBLEM SOLVING 101 TRUMP: A PRAGMATIST, NOT A CONSERVATIVEExclusive: Mychal Massie on why American cannot abide another ideologue as president
Published: 01/18/2016 at 7:23 PM MYCHAL MASSIE We recently enjoyed a belated holiday dinner at the home of friends. The dinner conversation was jocund, ranging from discussions about antique glass and china to theology and politics. At one point reference was made to Donald Trump being a conservative, to which I responded that Trump is not a conservative. I said that neither does Trump view himself as a conservative. I stated it was my opinion that Trump is a pragmatist. He sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He then sets about fixing it. He doesn’t see the problem as liberal or conservative; he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality that should be admired and applauded, not condemned. But I get ahead of myself. Viewing problems from a liberal perspective has resulted in the creation of more problems, more entitlement programs, more victims, more government, more political correctness and more attacks on the working class in all economic strata. Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative perspective has brought continued spending, globalism to the detriment of American interests and well-being, denial of what the real problems are and weak, ineffective, milquetoast leadership that amounts to Barney Fife, deputy sheriff – appeasement-oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In brief, it has brought liberal ideology with a pachyderm as a mascot juxtaposed to the ass of the Democrat Party. Immigration isn’t a Republican problem; it isn’t a liberal problem – it is a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure of America. It demands a pragmatic approach, not an approach that is intended to appease one group or another. The impending collapse of the economy isn’t a liberal or conservative problem; it is an American problem. That said, until it is viewed as a problem that demands a common-sense approach to resolution, it will never be fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix things, and their impracticality has proven to have no lasting effect. Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things work. They do not promise to accommodate. Trump uniquely understands that China’s manipulation of currency is not a Republican problem or a Democratic problem. It is a problem that threatens our financial stability, and he understands the proper balance needed to fix it. Here again, successful businessmen like Trump who have weathered the changing tides of economic reality understand what is necessary to make business work, and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know that if something doesn’t work you don’t continue trying to make it work, hoping that at some point it will. As a pragmatist, Donald Trump hasn’t made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of a cellphone in every pocket, free college tuition and a $15-an-hour minimum wage for working the drive-through a Carl’s Jr. I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see problems and find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound it by creating more problems. You may not like Donald Trump. I suspect that the reason people do not like him is because: 1) he is antithetical to the “good old boy” method of brokering backroom deals that fatten the coffers of politicians; 2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a candidate speak who is unencumbered by the financial shackles of those who own him vis-a-vis donations; 3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology; and 4) he is someone who understands that it takes more than hollow promises and political correctness to make America great again. Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America is like listening to two lunatics trying to “out crazy” one another. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are owned lock, stock and barrel by the bankers, corporations and big-dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush can deny it, but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts that people don’t give tens of millions without expecting something in return. We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues – and what has it brought us? Are we better off today or worst off? Has it happened overnight or has it been a steady decline brought on by both parties? I submit that a pragmatist might be just what America needs right now. And as I said earlier, a pragmatist sees a problem and understands that the solution to fix same is not about a party, but a willingness and boldness to get it done. People are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance, but that is common amongst those who have never accomplished anything in their lives and who have always played it safe not willing to risk failure. www.wnd.com/2016/01/trump-a-pragmatist-not-a-conservative/

The man created the CCRB so that a bunch of college hippies that never worked a day in their life could tell us we are doing our job wrong. He also tuned comstat into the monster it is today.

Good Cop, Bad Cop ? V.P. ?
Ben Carson officially endorsed Republican frontrunner Donald Trump Friday morning in an appearance with Trump in Palm Beach, Fla.
“I’ve come to know Donald Trump over the last few years. He is actually a very intelligent man who cares deeply about America,” he said. “There are two different Donald Trumps. There’s the one you see on the stage and there’s the one who’s very cerebral.”
While introducing Carson, Trump said that having his support lends credence to what he’s trying to do.
“Everybody wanted his endorsement and everybody loves him and truly, truly admires what he’s done,” he said.
Carson said that he never intended to get involved in the political process but heeded the call of the American people. He accused political “operatives” and parties have been trying to thwart the will of the people.
“I want the political process to play out in the way that it should play out and I think the Republican Party particularly would be very wise not to adopt a ‘let’s stop this guy and let’s promote this guy’ policy,” he continued. “But rather start thinking about what are the things that are going to be helpful for America.”
The retired neurosurgeon expressed concern about the fiscal cliff and said the country is destroying itself with hate, quoting Abraham Lincoln: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.“
“We’re failing to take a leadership position on the world stage,” he said. image

Carson, a Seventh-day Adventist, is a deeply religious man who believes that God has guided some of his life’s most important decisions. When asked if a higher power inspired him to endorse Trump, the former doctor said that the power of prayer and messages from his acquaintances’ dreams played a role.
“I prayed about it a lot. I got a lot of indications — people calling me that I hadn’t talked to in a long time saying, ‘I had this dream about you and Donald Trump.’”
The endorsement may come as a surprise to many of Carson’s supporters, since the mild-mannered, deeply religious Carson is a vivid contrast to Trump in terms of style and values.
But a Carson adviser told Yahoo News Thursday that the retired neurosurgeon — who for a short time last fall led the field of Republican presidential candidates — sees Trump as the only candidate remaining who is not part of what he often called “the political class.”
Carson believes that the political establishment has ruined the country, and is throwing his support to Trump because the businessman and reality TV personality is best able to disrupt the status quo.
Carson was also angered by some of the tactics employed by Sen. Ted Cruz. For example, a number of Cruz’s supporters tried to undermine Carson on the night of the Iowa caucuses Feb. 1 by telling them that Carson was pulling out of the race.

Don't know if this is for real. Did anyone hear anything about this from mainstream news media?BREAKING: Black Trump supporter shot and killed by Chicago protestersBy admin1 - March 12, 2016 Christian Times Newspaper has learned that an African-American supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has died after allegedly sustaining gunshot wounds in the aftermath of Friday night’s chaos in Chicago. Robert King Bullock, aged 37, was a resident of Chicago’s Evanston suburb. According to Bullock’s friend, who also attended the Trump rally, Robert was an avid chef, and he recently obtained his Masters of Business Administration and planned to open a local restaurant. This source spoke with CTN on the condition of anonymity, and asked to be referred to as “Terry.” He called for Bullock’s death to serve as a reminder to anti-Trump groups and the mainstream media. “Rob was a black man, but he supported Trump because he got tired of Democrats saying his race was the thing holding him back,” Bullock’s friend told CTN. “[Rob] lost his job because of Obamacare. He lost his brother to black-on-black gang violence. Now he lost his life because he believed in a white man. His race didn’t have a damn thing to do with what held him back.” Bullock and Terry were separated in the chaos that followed the protesters’ interruption of the planned Trump rally, which led to widespread violent scuffles and the event’s cancellation. It is believed that he attempted to make his way to a nearby bar to charge his dead cell-phone and reconnect with Terry. Multiple sources have confirmed that protesters and Trump supporters continued to clash as they moved from the UIC Pavillion to their vehicles and nearby locations. It is believed that Bullock, at some point after leaving the event center, was confronted by protesters, beaten, then allegedly shot two times in the abdomen and left shoulder by a small to medium-size handgun. Terry says that the circumstances surrounding the events are still unclear, and he only learned of Bullock’s death when his business card was found in the victim’s pocket. Terry says that Bullock asked for his contact information when the chaos erupted and he realized that his phone battery was dead. Bullock’s body was discovered in the early hours of the morning by two homeless gentlemen. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Terry says that two signs were also found next to Bullock’s body. One read, “Stop The Racist Trump.” The other was marked with, “Donald Trump = KKK.” This is a developing story, and CTN will bring you updated news as we gather more information. christiantimesnewspaper.com/breaking-black-trump-supporter-shot-and-killed-by-chicago-protesters/

I was there too, You're 100% Wrong... Giuliani never paid us what we deserved but he did at least allow us to do our jobs, that's why the mass reduction in crime occurred...NOBODY Forced the members to accept that garbage contract... they offered the glock/smith/sig for free if they ratified the contract & guys jumped all over it. The only reason we were still able to do our job under Rudy was because it was the 90's it was a different time. Put him in office today and we will see how tough he talks. The man created the CCRB so that a bunch of college hippies that never worked a day in their life could tell us we are doing our job wrong. He also tuned comstat into the monster it is today. You're WRONG... AGAIN (just read below)... Anyway... at first you stated and I quote "fvck Rudy he didn't become a tough talker until he was out of politics"... now you state that he did talk tough but it was because it was a different time & today he wouldn't be that way... Do you even read what you have written before you respond???... Like I said before you may not have liked him but I would prefer him in the position of US Attorney General... if you don't that's fine but don't make crap up just to support your feelings. ps- compstat was & is what it's supposed to be... unfortunately, like anything else, when you have people who are vindictive and hold grudges in charge & responsible (see NYPD Chiefs) they will manipulate, abuse & deteriorate it. In 1987, in accordance with legislation passed in 1986 by the city council, the board was restructured as one where private citizens served alongside non-uniformed police officers; the mayor (with the advice and consent of city council) appointed six members and the police commissioner appointed six. At this time, the Civilian Complaint Investigations Bureau began to hire civilians to investigate complaints, though these civilians served alongside police department investigators and were supervised by department employees. Tompkins Square Park Incident In 1988, an event helped sway public opinion in favor of more civilian control over the investigation of complaints made against NYPD officers. In response to complaints of drug trafficking and disorderly groups in Tompkins Square Park, the department chose to enforce an existing 1:00 a.m. curfew that had previously not been enforced. A rally protesting the curfew on July 31 turned into a confrontation with police in which four people were arrested and four officers were injured. On August 6, demonstrators were forced from the park in a series of violent incidents between the police, demonstrators, and bystanders. Video footage showed police officers striking people with nightsticks, kicking people who were on the ground, and covering their shields to hide their identity. The CCRB commissioned a special report on the incident, concluding that “there is no evidence that any effort was made to limit the use of force . . . Force was used for its own sake.” Even though the report was extremely critical of the NYPD, the event itself galvanized support for an all-civilian review board.** All Civilian Agency In 1993, after extensive debate and public comment, Mayor David Dinkins and the New York City Council created the Civilian Complaint Review Board in its current, all-civilian form. The agency was granted subpoena power (one issue cited in the Tompkins Square Park report by the police department’s CCRB was that without subpoena power, it could not obtain filmed footage from local media outlets) and authority to recommend discipline in cases that the board substantiated. However, the agency was underfunded at its inception, leaving it unable to cope with the large number of complaints it received. After the Abner Louima incident in 1997, the CCRB’s budget was steadily increased, allowing the agency to hire dozens more investigators and experienced managers who oversee investigations. This has led to dramatic improvement in the agency performance.
