far too many of them created this man. They let him skate through the primaries with 40 years of material available on the him, while they focused on "emails" and "Benghazi".

at one of his damn stir-up-the-hotheads rallies last year. He had the gall to point her out to an overheated crowd and Secret Service had to escort her out of the building for her own safety.

Don Harris and Bob Brown were NBC journalists killed in Guyana in 1978. Bob Flick and Steve Sung were injured.

On November 14, 1978, Harris accompanied California congressman Leo Ryan, NBC cameraman Bob Brown, NBC producer Bob Flick, NBC sound engineer Steve Sung and several other journalists to Georgetown, Guyana.[2] The group was investigating rumors of torture, kidnapping and other offenses by the Peoples Temple in an agricultural commune located 150 miles from Georgetown that the Temple called Jonestown.[2]

is to recognize that doing their job well might save us from losing our country. I blame them in part for creating this mess. They owe us an apology but I'll settle for them staying on point and working to take these monsters down.
