Trump and Carson want a war on US soil

Their plans for dealing with The Mexican Problem make that abundantly clear.

Trump wants the Mexican government to pay for a Berlin wall to prevent his rich friends from hiring illegals. The Mexicans will not pay for a Berlin wall on our territory unless forced at gunpoint. If Trump builds it on Mexican soil...well, invading another country has started a lot of wars. (There was one foot between the West Berlin city limits and the baseplate of the Berlin Wall for this reason - Walter Ulbricht didn't want to give the Allies justification to either start a war over the Wall or, more likely, to just tear it down.)

And is Carson really suggesting airstrikes as a way to solve the problem?

The Donald's slogan is "Make America Great Again"...hmm...

Y'know guys, the quickest way to "make America great again" would be to load all the oligarchs like Donald Trump on a cargo ship with a quarter-tank of gas, aim it at the open sea, start the engine, and weld the door to the bridge shut.

Not Florida: Man arrested for sex with dogs, horse

http://www.khq.com/story/29780855/deputies-arrest-spokane-county-man-who-admitted-to-having-sexual-contact-with-dogs-and-a-horse

SPOKANE, Wash. - The Spokane County Sheriff's Office says they have arrested a man accused of filming himself having sexual contact with several animals, and then threatening to kill people he thought turned the videos over to (Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service).

Deputy Mark Gregory told KHQ the videos show 45-year-old Travis Joy having sexual relations with three dogs and a horse. Gregory says the videos were turned over to SCRAPS, and Joy then threatened to kill the people responsible for turning it in. After watching the videos, deputies were able to determine where the videos were shot and who was in it. Deputies determined the incidents took place in the Hillyard and Elk area. Deputies were able to identify Joy in the videos based on distinct tattoos and physical characteristics.

Regarding the Carnival Cruz quote in EarlG's graphic

Rafael Cruz, the Canadian-born Cuban, says his first act as president will be to repeal all President Obama's unconstitutional and illegal executive orders. Since he believes Obama is an illegitimate president (because only Republicans get to be president), that means all his EOs will be gone.

Since Congress will be too busy writing tax cuts and Obamacare repeals, he will have to do it himself...so his intention is to use an "unconstitutional and illegal" Rafael Cruz EO to repeal Barack Obama's EOs. Nice!

'A new set of wings' Dr. Forrest Bird * 1921-2015

Source: Coeur d'Alene Press

At 8, he met Henry Ford at a party hosted by his father; as a teen, he visited with Orville Wright at the 1937 Cleveland Air Show.
And before his passing early Sunday morning at age 94 at his home in Sagle, Forrest Morton Bird would become a renowned pilot and a legendary inventor, and earn his medical degree. He also was a veteran, serving in World War II; a philanthropist and an author, becoming a sought-after lecturer.
"Forrest received a new set of wings in the early morning hours of Sunday, Aug. 2, 2015, as he passed away at home peacefully," said Pamela Riddle Bird, announcing her husband's passing in an email to friends and supporters. "God has a new angel and his name is Forrest Morton Bird."

Dr. Bird invented, among other things, hospital respirators like these ones.



One of these is the Bird Mark 7 - introduced in 1955 and manufactured to this day.

He also created the "Baby Bird" infant respirator, which reduced breathing-related infant mortality rates from 70 percent to 10. A very incredible man.
