{Daily Caller} One of the workers Disney laid off and forced to train his foreign replacement endorsed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Friday, and bashed his rival Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, saying he “betrayed American workers.”
“No American citizen should ever have to suffer this indignity,” Leo Perrero said in a statement Friday, referring to being laid off and forced to train a foreign replacement. He and one of the other workers Disney laid off will officially endorse Trump at a rally in Alabama Sunday, reported the Tampa Bay Times.
MADISON, Alabama — 2016 GOP presidential frontrunner billionaire Donald Trump picked up the most significant endorsement any presidential candidate in the GOP can get here on Sunday: Sen. Jeff Sessions.
{Breitbart} Mark “OZ” Geist and John “TIG” Tiegen, two members of the security team that helped rescue dozens of Americans during the Benghazi terror attacks, have endorsed Donald Trump for president.
According to a statement released Sunday:
{Breitbart} TEL AVIV – 1,500 pages of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails provide insight into the level of support the U.S. was considering in 2012 for Egypt’s newly elected Muslim Brotherhood government.
On August 30, 2012, Robert D. Hormats, the under-secretary of state for economic affairs, wrote to Clinton’s then-Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan to update him on a meeting he held with Muslim Brotherhood Deputy Supreme Adviser Khairat al-Shater.
Shater was later sentenced to life imprisonment and then to death for multiple alleged crimes, including inciting violence and financial improprieties.
American Bikers United Against Jihad (ABUAJ) are going to Islamberg, a jihadist compound in upstate New York and home/headquarters to the “Muslims of the Americas” (also known as the Soldiers of Allah)
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) grew angry Thursday when a reporter mentioned a double standard for Democrats using congressional rules to block Supreme Court nominations in the past, saying, “Your point isn’t well taken.”
Pelosi briefly eulogized the late Supreme Court justice and fellow Italian-American Antonin Scalia at the outset of her briefing, and she then castigated Republicans for saying they would not act on President Obama’s nomination for Scalia’s replacement.
A reporter then brought up prior instances of Democrats going full-tilt against Republican nominations in the past, such as the blocking of Robert Bork, who was strongly attacked by Democrats when nominated by Ronald Reagan in 1987.
Secretary of State John Kerry lamented Wednesday that a terrorist who the Obama administration released from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay subsequently returned to fight for al Qaeda, telling lawmakers “he’s not supposed to be doing that.”
Appearing before the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Kerry made the statement while testifying about the State Department’s budget request for the fiscal year 2017.
During the hearing, Sen. Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) asked Kerry for his thoughts on Ibrahim al Qosi, the former Guantanamo detainee who is now a prominent al Qaeda leader, and had staffers hold up a picture of the terrorist for Kerry to see.
(The Hill) Black lawmakers in Congress are urging President Obama to make history by nominating Attorney General Loretta Lynch to the Supreme Court.
Lynch, if confirmed, would become the first African-American woman to serve as a justice. She would also be the first African-American appointed by a Democratic president since Thurgood Marshall, an influential liberal who retired in 1991.
Liberals love to whine about the “war on women,” but the REAL war on women is being perpetrated by Muslims… A Staten Island man is in custody after allegedly molesting a woman on board a flight from Dubai to New York City, using hand lotion to cover the woman’s body while she was asleep.
Activist Megyn Kelly went after Donald Trump in the first FOX News debate.
Trust in the network has dropped nearly 50% since January.
Fox News Channel’s score dropped from 36 on January 18th to 14 on February 12th.
Conservatives are SICK AND TIRED of FOX News Channel’s constant attacks on Donald Trump.
Many who are reading this may be too young to remember the time that Dan Quayle, Vice-President under George H. W. Bush, spelled the word “potato” wrong. It was an embarrassing thing to watch.
Here’s how TIME magazine described the incident:
“While visiting a school in Trenton, NJ, a student was asked to write the word ‘potato’ on the blackboard and Quayle urged him to add an ‘e’ to the end. The entire nation held its belly in laughter.”
Knowing how to spell is not a qualification for political office. Knowing the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution should be.
(The Hill) Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer endorsed Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Saturday.
Brewer served as governor between 2009 and 2015 and was known for signing strict immigration laws partially struck down by the Supreme Court. She said Trump would “secure our borders, defend our workers and protect our sovereignty” in an annoucement distributed by the campaign.

(Allen West)Despite her “victorious” 11 hours of testimony last fall, very few Americans who are awake feel anything at all has been cleared up on the tragedy that was Benghazi. Except perhaps that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is, quite literally, getting away with murder.
So it’s not really surprising that Americans — and members of our military especially — would continue to demand answers from the Clinton’s. The answers that, somehow, our government’s “due process” failed to deliver.
(Breitbart) On February 26, President Obama cited the Kansas shootings during a speech in Jacksonville, Florida, and pledged to keep pushing Congress to pass more gun control.
He did not mention that alleged Kansas gunman Cedric Ford was a felon who was completely barred from purchasing guns or possessing them. Ford faced 100 percent gun control.
(Free Beacon) The State Department turned over 1,600 pages of previously undisclosed documents related to Hillary Clinton and Libya to the House Benghazi committee on Friday, a month after it revealed the existence of the documents in an unrelated court case.
The House Select Committee on Benghazi announced it received the records on Friday, adding that the State Department has yet to fully comply with document requests the committee made nearly a year ago.
(CNS News) A 10-year-old girl was fatally struck by a runaway vehicle near Lakeside, California while pushing two children out of harms way.
Family members identified the girl as Kiera Larsen.
A group of armed protesters peacefully demonstrated outside of the Islamic Center of Irving, Texas, on Sat., Feb. 20, contending the welfare and well-being of U.S. military veterans should come before the relocation of Syrian refugees into Texas communities.
The group, called the Bureau of American Islamic Relations (BAIR), rallied for “Veterans Before Refugees.” The Facebook event page stated their objections as: “We will not allow Syrian refugees to come here from a war zone while thousands of veterans are sleeping on the streets and dying waiting for the VA healthcare they were promised when they took the oath.”

Greta Van Susteren told her audience this week that it was true that Donald Trump helped out Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi after his release from a Mexican jail. Greta also said Obama wouldn’t even pick up a phone to help the Marine.
“In all seriousness, Donald did help out Sgt. Tahmooressi. He sent him some money to help him jump start his life. Sgt. Tahmooressi rotted in a Mexican prison for 214 days. President Obama wouldn’t even pick up the phone to help.”
Last Thursday the Town
Council held a joint workshop with the Lisbon School Board to discuss the
2014-2015 Annual Audits.The normal
audit review is done in December but since the town changed auditing firms it
took longer to prepare the report.In
order to show a comparison, the firm had to collect data for several years past
which took some time.
The new firm is RHR Smith
& Company and a Mr. Greg Chabot went over the audits.It was an intense review and showed, in my
eyes, what I already knew.Former Town
Manager Stephen Eldridge and Former Finance Director Jessica Malloy really did
a number on this town.The significant
findings were only two which can be found in the actual report on pages 78
& 79, which the audience could not keep.According to the Town Manager, it will be posted on the town web site
but it is not there now.
Mr. Chabot also provides the
audience with an eight page “Management Letter” which outlined twelve (12)
minor deficiencies.This new firm did a
thorough audit and the results were clearly stated.The Town Manager, Diane Barnes and the
Finance Director, Edward Karass did not dispute any of the findings.The majority of these finds date back for
year’s prior Mrs. Barnes and Mr. Karass arrival.
It is going to take a long
period of time to correct the mess created by Mr. Eldridge and Mrs.
Malloy.The Town Manager and the Finance
Director have been working on these areas for some time now and will continue to
eliminate these deficiencies as quickly as possible.
I believe that both the Town
Council and the Lisbon School Board thought the audits were done fairly because
there were few, if any, questions.I
believe Mr. Chabot did an outstanding job explaining the audits.
(CNS News) U.S. Senate, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) implied during an exchange with Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday that Iran was justified in detaining ten U.S. sailors who entered Iranian waters last month.
The incident came up during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing on the administration’s State and foreign operations budget request, after Kerry argued that the nuclear deal and his relationship with his Iranian counterpart had been responsible for the quick resolution of what he said could have turned into a hostage situation.

( Breitbart) Sen. Johnson introduced the Terrorist Release Transparency Act on Thursday. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) 58%, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, also submitted a companion bill in the House.
At a fundraising event for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton – where attendees had to pay $500 to get in – a couple activists with Black Lives Matter interrupted the candidate during her speech and demanded apologies for her past comments about black people.
The two activists paid $500 to attend the Charleston, South Carolina fundraising event. One activist Ashley Williams held a sign that had a quote from Hillary Clinton written on it, while the other unidentified activist recorded the confrontation. Secret Service eventually escorted out the activist with the sign. Following the encounter, a visibly flustered Hillary Clinton continued, “Okay, back to the issues, the issues that I think are important.”

Such is the warning to a disobedient people, and America is seeing it come to pass before our eyes as foreigners are now being exalted higher than our founders' posterity, including those who should not even be here in the first place! In Communist run New York, the State's Department of Education has said that they will allow illegal aliens to obtain teaching certifications.
The Press & Sun Bulletin reports:
So, we all know Hillary Clinton is horrible on gun rights, but she’s also bad at history. While appearing on The Steve Harvey Show, Clinton was pushing her gun control agenda. If there’s any silver lining* in this exchange, it’s that she acknowledges we have a right to own firearms, but also said there’s a constitutional right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Daily Caller China’s foreign minister and the U.S. commander of the Pacific both spoke Thursday on military expansion in the South China Sea, yet their statements made it clear the two nations continue to be at odds over China’s military build-up in the area.
While speaking at an event at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi downplayed China’s military build up in the Pacific, emphasizing the idea that expansionism is contradictory to Chinese identity.
CNS News Answering questions from the press after his meeting with King Abdullah of Jordan today, President Barack Obama explained why he believes the Republican-controlled Senate should consider the nomination he intends to make to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court.
Free Beacon China warned the United States on Wednesday not to adopt punitive currency policies that could disrupt U.S.-China relations after Donald Trump’s win in the Nevada caucus.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters in Beijing that “we are following with interest the U.S. presidential election.”
WFB One of Donald Trump’s best-known campaign promises is building a wall at the southern border and getting Mexico to pay for it. It’s such a favorite with his supporters that he’s even started chants about it at his rallies.
Former Mexican president Vicente Fox isn’t having it. He has repeatedly slammed Trump as being dangerous and foolish, and in an interview posted Thursday with journalist Jorge Ramos, he got vulgar while talking about it.
On Wednesday, The Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act cleared the House Judiciary Committee’s markup process by a party-line vote of 17-10.
“The Muslim Brotherhood’s embrace of terrorism and the very real threat it poses to American lives and the national security of the United States make it long overdue for designation,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) said in a statement.
