Trump’s Dirty Words versus Clinton’s Deadly Actions
What A LOAD of Pious BS Outrage: Let He Without Sin Cast The First Stone!
Yes, this leaked audio may be a huge discounter for dumping #Trump; that is, to any and all who are LOOKING for ANYTHING to NOT vote for him in the first place.
I mean, how dare he be an overly braggagocious alpha-male, showing off, making himself out to be the biggest fish; talking, PRIVATELY, with another male, WHO was laughing along and actively participating in the conversation.
Yeah, because real men DON’T talk sex, quite explicitly as that, right? Bragging they can “hit” it and how, with how many and whom; and with who they’d like to “bag” next, along with BS techniques and those big, BAD, dirty #words when they’re being just males, alone, talking locker room jive, just being “guys”. Yeah, that NEVER happens! π
I KNOW regular guys DO talk smack like that (π²) with THOSE words… and, guess what? WOMEN DO TOO.
If people were HONEST, they’d admit that and this would be what it is… a non-issue, it’s not NEWS! It’s BS!
THIS is a diversion from the real NEWS: Hillary Clinton’s leaked Wall Street Speeches supporting NWO – no borders, no America, but a North American Union, like the failed EU, her open disdain for the every day man and woman! She’ll make the top 1% richer, RAISING taxes, on an already far too extended people.
And, if her failed tenures in the Senate and as Secretary of State, the murders in Benghazhi, the failed Russian reset, the Arab Spring, Libya, Syria, Iran and the FACT that the Middle East is on FIRE over this administration’s failed policies, doesn’t scare the shit out of you. I have no idea what will.
Our economy is in a complete fetal position begging for help, Our infrastructure is decaying, our government is bloated beyond belief, regulations are strangling small business and helping ONLY the very rich.
She’s going to RAISE taxes, think she’ll suffer? Our debt is insane, our Country is in complete chaos and this may all fall into Hillary’s bloody hands.
Hillary Clinton: the biggest liar, most corrupt establishment politician – with 30 years of pay-for-play, lobbyist, activists and the uber rich owning her – being PROTECTED by an equally corrupt DOJ, FBI, State Department and their accomplices!
THESE are far more harmful #ACTIONS to this country than crude words!

IMMIGRATION REFORM THAT WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
The three core principles of Donald J. Trump’s immigration plan
When politicians talk about βimmigration reformβ they mean: amnesty, cheap labor and open borders. The Schumer-Rubio immigration bill was nothing more than a giveaway to the corporate patrons who run both parties.
Real immigration reform puts the needs of working people first β not wealthy globetrotting donors. We are the only country in the world whose immigration system puts the needs of other nations ahead of our own. That must change.
Here are the three core principles of real immigration reform:
1. A nation without borders is not a nation.Β There must be a wall across the southern border.
2. A nation without laws is not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced.
3. A nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation.Β Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans.
Make Mexico Pay For The Wall
For many years, Mexicoβs leaders have been taking advantage of the United States by using illegal immigration to export the crime and poverty in their own country (as well as in other Latin American countries). They have evenΒ published pamphletsΒ on how to illegally immigrate to the United States.
The costs for the United States have been extraordinary: U.S. taxpayers have been asked to pick up hundreds of billions in healthcare costs, housing costs, education costs, welfare costs, etc. Indeed, the annual cost of free tax credits alone paid to illegal immigrants quadrupled to $4.2 billion in 2011. The effects on jobseekers have also been disastrous, and black Americans haveΒ been particularly harmed.
The impact in terms of crime has been tragic.
In recent weeks, the headlines have been covered with cases of criminals who crossed our border illegally only to go on to commit horrific crimes against Americans.
Most recently, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, with a long arrest record, is charged with breaking into a 64 year-old womanβs home, crushing her skull and eye sockets with a hammer, raping her, and murdering her.
The Police Chief in Santa Maria says theΒ βblood trailβΒ leads straight to Washington.
In 2011, the Government Accountability Office found that there were a shockingΒ 3 million arrests attached to the incarcerated alien population, including tens of thousands of violent beatings, rapes and murders.
Meanwhile, Mexico continues to make billions on not only our bad trade deals but also relies heavily on the billions of dollars in remittances sent from illegal immigrants in the United States back to Mexico ($22 billion inΒ 2013Β alone).
In short, the Mexican government has taken the United States to the cleaners. They are responsible for this problem, and they must help pay to clean it up.
The cost of building a permanent border wall pales mightily in comparison to what American taxpayers spend every single year on dealing with the fallout of illegal immigration on their communities, schools and unemployment offices.
Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards β of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]. We will not be taken advantage of anymore.
Defend The Laws And Constitution Of The United States
America will only be great as long as America remains a nation of laws that lives according to the Constitution. No one is above the law.
The following steps will return to the American people the safety of their laws, which politicians have stolen from them:
Triple the number of ICE officers. As the President of the ICE Officersβ Council explained in Congressional testimony:Β βOnly approximately 5,000 officers and agents within ICE perform the lionβs share of ICEβs immigration missionβ¦Compare that to the Los Angeles Police Department at approximately 10,000 officers. Approximately 5,000 officers in ICE cover 50 states, Puerto Rico and Guam, and are attempting to enforce immigration law against 11 million illegal aliens already in the interior of the United States.
Since 9-11, the U.S. Border Patrol has tripled in size, while ICEβs immigration enforcement arm, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), has remained at relatively the same size.β This will be funded by accepting theΒ recommendationof the Inspector General for Tax Administration and eliminating tax credit payments to illegal immigrants.
Nationwide e-verify. This simple measure will protect jobs for unemployed Americans.
Mandatory return of all criminal aliens.The Obama Administration has released 76,000 aliens from its custody with criminal convictions since 2013 alone. All criminal aliens must be returned to their home countries, a process which can be aided by canceling any visas to foreign countries which will not accept their own criminals, and making it a separate and additional crime to commit an offense while here illegally.
Detentionβnot catch-and-release.Β Illegal aliens apprehended crossing the border must be detained until they are sent home, no more catch-and-release.
Defund sanctuary cities.Β Cut-off federal grants to any city which refuses to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
Enhanced penalties for overstaying a visa.Β Millions of people come to the United States on temporary visas but refuse to leave, without consequence. This is a threat to national security. Individuals who refuse to leave at the time their visa expires should be subject to criminal penalties; this will also help give local jurisdictions the power to hold visa overstays until federal authorities arrive. Completion of a visa tracking system β required by law but blocked by lobbyists β will be necessary as well.
Cooperate with local gang task forces.Β ICE officers should accompany local police departments conducting raids of violent street gangs likeΒ MS-13Β and theΒ 18th street gang, which have terrorized the country.
All illegal aliens in gangs should be apprehended and deported. Again, quoting Chris Crane: βICE Officers and Agents are forced to apply the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Directive, not to children in schools, but to adult inmates in jails. If an illegal-alien inmate simply claims eligibility, ICE is forced to release the alien back into the community. This includes serious criminals who have committed felonies, who have assaulted officers, and who prey on childrenβ¦ICE officers should be required to place detainers on every illegal alien they encounter in jails and prisons, since these aliens not only violated immigration laws, but then went on to engage in activities that led to their arrest by police; ICE officers should be required to issue Notices to Appear to all illegal aliens with criminal convictions, DUI convictions, or a gang affiliation; ICE should be working with any state or local drug or gang task force that asks for such assistance.β
End birthright citizenship.Β This remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration.Β By a 2:1 margin, voters say itβs the wrong policy, including Harry Reid who said βno sane countryβ would give automatic citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants.
Put American Workers First
Decades of disastrous trade deals and immigration policies haveΒ destroyed our middle class. Today, nearly 40% of black teenagers are unemployed. Nearly 30% of Hispanic teenagers are unemployed. For black Americans without high school diplomas, the bottom has fallen out: more than 70% were employed in 1960, compared to less than 40% in 2000. Across the economy, the percentage of adults in the labor force has collapsed to a level not experienced in generations.
As CBS news wrote in a pieceΒ entitled βAmericaβs incredible shrinking middle classβ: βIf the middle-class is the economic backbone of America, then the country is developing osteoporosis.β
The influx of foreign workers holds down salaries, keeps unemployment high, and makes it difficult for poor and working class Americans β including immigrants themselves and their children β to earn a middle class wage.
Nearly half of all immigrants and their US-born children currentlyΒ live in or near poverty, including more than 60 percent of Hispanic immigrants. Every year, we voluntarily admit another 2 million new immigrants, guest workers, refugees, and dependents, growing our existing all-time historic record population of 42 million immigrants.
We need to control the admission of new low-earning workers in order to: help wages grow, get teenagers back to work, aid minoritiesβ rise into the middle class, help schools and communities falling behind, and to ensure our immigrant members of the national family become part of the American dream.
Additionally, we need to stop giving legal immigrant visas to people bent on causing us harm.
From the 9/11 hijackers, to the Boston Bombers, and many others, our immigration system is being used to attack us. The President of the immigration caseworkers union declaredΒ in a statement on ISIS: βWe’ve become the visa clearinghouse for the world.β
Here are some additional specific policy proposals for long-term reform:
Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs.
We graduateΒ two times more Americans with STEM degreesΒ each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program’s lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two.
Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrantΒ workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon ValleyΒ who have been passed overΒ in favor of the H-1B program.
Mark Zuckerbergβs personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Requirement to hire American workers first.
Too many visas,Β like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce andΒ incomes collapsing, we needΒ companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.
End welfare abuse.
Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S.
Jobs program for inner city youth.
The J-1 visaΒ jobs program for foreign youthΒ will be terminated and replaced with a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers to the J-1 visa program.
Refugee program for American children.
Increase standards for the admission of refugees and asylum-seekers toΒ crack down on abuses. Use the monies saved onΒ expensive refugee programsΒ to help place American children without parents in safer homes and communities, and to improve community safety inΒ high crime neighborhoodsΒ in the United States.
Immigration moderation.
Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers abroad, there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers. This will help reverse women’s plummetingΒ workplace participation rate, grow wages, and allow record immigration levels to subside toΒ more moderate historical averages.

PROTECTING OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Donald J. Trump on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.
The Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that belongs to all law-abiding Americans. The Constitution doesnβt create that right β it ensures that the government canβt take it away.
Our Founding Fathers knew, and our Supreme Court has upheld, that the Second Amendmentβs purpose is to guarantee our right to defend ourselves and our families. This is about self-defense, plain and simple.
Itβs been said that the Second Amendment is Americaβs first freedom. Thatβs because the Right to Keep and Bear Arms protects all our other rights. We are the only country in the world that has a Second Amendment. Protecting that freedom is imperative. Hereβs how we will do that:
Enforce The Laws On The Books
We need to get serious about prosecuting violent criminals. The Obama administrationβs record on that is abysmal. Violent crime in cities like Baltimore, Chicago and many others is out of control. Drug dealers and gang members are given a slap on the wrist and turned loose on the street. This needs to stop.
Several years ago there was a tremendous program in Richmond, Virginia called Project Exile. It said that if a violent felon uses a gun to commit a crime, you will be prosecuted in federal court and go to prison for five years β no parole or early release. Obamaβs former Attorney General, Eric Holder, called that a βcookie cutterβ program. Thatβs ridiculous. I call that program a success.
Murders committed with guns in Richmond decreased by over 60% when Project Exile was in place β in the first two years of the program alone, 350 armed felons were taken off the street.
Why does that matter to law-abiding gun owners?
Because theyβre the ones who anti-gun politicians and the media blame when criminals misuse guns. We need to bring back and expand programs like Project Exile and get gang members and drug dealers off the street. When we do, crime will go down and our cities and communities will be safer places to live.
Hereβs another important way to fight crime β empower law-abiding gun owners to defend themselves.
Law enforcement is great, they do a tremendous job, but they canβt be everywhere all of the time. Our personal protection is ultimately up to us. Thatβs why Iβm a gun owner, thatβs why I have a concealed carry permit, and thatβs why tens of millions of Americans have concealed carry permits as well. Itβs just common sense.
To make America great again, weβre going to go after criminals and put the law back on the side of the law-abiding.
Fix Our Broken Mental Health System
Letβs be clear about this. Our mental health system is broken. It needs to be fixed. Too many politicians have ignored this problem for too long.
All of the tragic mass murders that occurred in the past several years have something in common β there were red flags that were ignored. We canβt allow that to continue. We need to expand treatment programs, because most people with mental health problems arenβt violent, they just need help.
But for those who are violent, a danger to themselves or others, we need to get them off the street before they can terrorize our communities. This is just common sense.
And why does this matter to law-abiding gun owners?
Once again, because they get blamed by anti-gun politicians, gun control groups and the media for the acts of deranged madmen. When one of these tragedies occurs, we can count on two things: one, that opponents of gun rights will immediately exploit it to push their political agenda; and two, that none of their so-called βsolutionsβ would have prevented the tragedy in the first place. Theyβve even admitted it.
We need real solutions to address real problems. Not grandstanding or political agendas.
Defend The Rights of Law-Abiding Gun Owners
GUN AND MAGAZINE BANS.
Gun and magazine bans are a total failure. Thatβs been proven every time itβs been tried. Opponents of gun rights try to come up with scary sounding phrases like βassault weaponsβ, βmilitary-style weaponsβ and βhigh capacity magazinesβ to confuse people.
What theyβre really talking about are popular semi-automatic rifles and standard magazines that are owned by tens of millions of Americans. Law-abiding people should be allowed to own the firearm of their choice. The government has no business dictating what types of firearms good, honest people are allowed to own.
BACKGROUND CHECKS.
There has been a national background check system in place since 1998. Every time a person buys a gun from a federally licensed gun dealer β which is the overwhelming majority of all gun purchases β they go through a federal background check. Study after study has shown that very few criminals are stupid enough to try and pass a background check β they get their guns from friends/family members or by stealing them. So the overwhelming majority of people who go through background checks are law-abiding gun owners. When the system was created, gun owners were promised that it would be instant, accurate and fair. Unfortunately, that isnβt the case today.
Too many states are failing to put criminal and mental health records into the system β and it should go without saying that a systemβs only going to be as effective as the records that are put into it. What we need to do is fix the system we have and make it work as intended. What we donβt need to do is expand a broken system.
NATIONAL RIGHT TO CARRY.
The right of self-defense doesnβt stop at the end of your driveway. Thatβs why I have a concealed carry permit and why tens of millions of Americans do too. That permit should be valid in all 50 states. A driverβs license works in every state, so itβs common sense that a concealed carry permit should work in every state. If we can do that for driving β which is a privilege, not a right β then surely we can do that for concealed carry, which is a right, not a privilege.
MILITARY BASES AND RECRUITING CENTERS.
Banning our military from carrying firearms on bases and at recruiting centers is ridiculous. We train our military how to safely and responsibly use firearms, but our current policies leave them defenseless.
To make America great again, we need a strong military. To have a strong military, we need to allow them to defend themselves.
