http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/nov/30/donald-trump-demands-5-million-cnn-participate-nex/Like a star football player holding out before training camp, Donald Trump said he may demand CNN pay him to be in next presidential debate.
At a campaign rally in Macon, Georgia, Mr. Trump said he pulls in such big ratings that he deserves $5 million from CNN.
“I won’t do the debate unless they pay me 5 million dollars,” said the real-estate tycoon worth billions.
Mr. Trump told his audience at the rally, according to CBS News, that the network was treating him unfairly, over its coverage of his meeting with black pastors earlier in the day. He then queried them whether the network should pay him because the ratings spikes, for which he has frequently taken credit, lets the networks charge more for advertising.
“You have to tell me because I know what they’re going to say,” Mr. Trump said. “‘Trump is a chicken’ … One thing I’m not is chicken, okay?”
Mr. Trump, who frequently speaks off the cuff, then said he didn’t know whether “I wanna take the chance.”
Mr. Trump said he would donate the $5 million to veterans.
The next debate, which CNN will sponsor and air live, is set for Dec. 15 in Las Vegas.
In a letter to CNN president Jeff Zucker before the first presidential debate in September, he spoke similarly, saying the network should donate its advertising profits to veterans groups.
“While I refuse to brag, and you know very well, this tremendous increase in viewer interest is due 100% to Donald J. Trump,” he wrote then.
Boy, 10, gets 2 deer with one bullet on first hunt
http://woodtv.com/2015/11/27/boy-10-gets-2-deer-with-one-bullet-on-first-hunt/WISCONSIN (WBAY) — Every hunter remembers their first buck and the story of how they got it. But a 10-year-old boy from Wisconsin had a rare experience that some may call beginner’s luck.
“I wanted to go hunting this year because I really wanted a deer,” said 10-year-old Kyler Verbeten.
Kyler went out hunting Sunday with his dad, with his gun for the first time.
“This squirrel kept distracting me, so I kept watching the squirrel,” said Kyler. “The squirrel was just jumping from tree to tree, everything. It was just doing weird stuff.”
Kyler and his dad eventually saw two deer in the woods.
“I said, shoot the big doe, because there was a smaller one,” said Matt Verbeten, Kyler’s dad. “He had the gun, and I’m kind of laughing, we’ll see how he does, he’s 10…”
Kyler’s first shot missed the target.
“I said, ‘Shoot again,’ he puts it back up, BOOM. They just fell right over,” said Matt.
Kyler’s second bullet hit and killed two deer, the shot going through both animals.
“I was so excited I almost jumped out of the stand,” said Kyler, “I just ran down the ladder and ran out there to look at them.”

Glad they caught them. They were so young and now have ruined their lives along with the victim and family. Just a horrible story all around.
New ISIS video threatens attack on White House
The Dijla branch of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) released a new video depicting unidentified jihadists celebrating the recent attacks on Paris and vowing the attacks would "conclude with the so-called White House."
In the video - titled "Paris Before Rome" -- militants warn French President Francois Hollande, U.S. President Barack Obama "and those who follow in his footsteps" to expect more strikes.
"We shall burn you with our suicide belts and our car bombs. We shall track you down wherever you go," a militant proclaims.
The jihadists warn that the attacks on France would expand to Washington, D.C.
"We began with you, and we shall conclude with the so-called White House. We shall turn it even blacker than our fire by the will of Allah," a militants says in the video. "Better still ... we shall blow it up just like we blew up the idols on this good land."

Well the debate tomorrow has just gone 180
I believe it was going to be more economy drive and now it will be foreign policy driven no doubt. Hope everyone is ready.
The movie "Truth"
Well I just got back from seeing the movie "Truth" about Dan Rather and CBS story about George Bush's National Guard time.
Ok first thing. The acting was great.
The story was unbelievable. Not sure what they were trying to do but what they showed was a complete incompetence of a group of reputable reporters who turned a story into a completely negligent mess. It is actually embarrassing how horrible they screwed up.
I would be interested in other reactions. I think I am going to see a lot of agreement in my assessment.
I wanted to cheer for this movie but instead was very disappointed in the reporters and the lost opportunity to really find the truth about President Bush. I doubt that President Bush even knew about this mess.
