Trump Levels “National-Security Flamethrower” at Hillary

Trump Levels “National-Security Flamethrower” at Hillary

“Ignorance is not bliss. It’s deadly. Totally deadly.”

In the wake of the Orlando terror attack, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, delivering a stinging assessment of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on their handling of national security.

Donald Trump leveled a national-security flamethrower at Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, blaming her for embracing an immigration policy that would drive more Islamic radicals to stage terror attacks like the one from which Orlando, Florida is only beginning to recover.

Clinton, he said, would negligently implement a ‘catastrophic immigration plan’ that would ‘bring vastly more radical Islamic immigrants into this country, threatening not only our society but our entire way of life.’

‘Ignorance is not bliss,’ he said in a half-hour speech at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.

‘It’s deadly. Totally deadly.’

In remarks to Fox News the day before this address, Trump took on President Obama:

“Look, we’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind,” Mr. Trump said on Fox. “And the something else in mind — you know, people can’t believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can’t even mention the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ There’s something going on. It’s inconceivable. There’s something going on.”

Mr. Trump, who in a statement Sunday called for Mr. Obama to resign his office over the shooting, then added: “He doesn’t get it or he gets it better than anybody understands. It’s one or the other and neither one is acceptable.”

Interestingly, a report has just surfaced that indicates the FBI was told to downplay terrorism by the Obama White House, as it related to the San Berndardino mass shooting in December 2015.

A source told Jack Murphy of SOFREP that the FBI instantly believed the shooting, which left 14 dead, to be a clear act of terrorism. The White House, however, didn’t feel the same way and quickly moved in to squash the terror classification.

This source added that as soon as the shooting took place, Obama convened a meeting with the National Security Council and the heads of other federal enforcement agencies to discuss a public relations strategy.

Part of the reason for trying to avoid the designation of the shootings as terrorism is because it threatens to upset the Obama administration’s strategy in Syria. A case of Islamic terrorism in the U.S. would put additional pressure on the administration to play a much more active role in the conflict.

Trumps foresight and strong rhetoric against Islamic terrorists a welcome change from the saccharine inanity offered by Obama. At least Hillary Clinton now seems open to citing radical Islam as a problem.

American pastor John Calvin Maxwell once wrote, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” I think the evidence is clear as to which one of these three is a leader.

#Walker2016, a leader and not the sound and fury of a Cheetos Commercial.

    And yet Donald Trump is the actual nominee, and Walker was one of the early casualties of the primary season! #NeverHillary yesterday, #NeverHillary today, #NeverHillary tomorrow…#NeverHillary forever.

      Walker was (is) never a casualty. He is one of the best Governors in the country. And Walker didn’t Twitter boo-hoo all the way home like little yellow piggy did. He didn’t cry “Unfair!” He didn’t call names and brag about utter nonsense.

      I’ll take an honest man over a pompous ass any day.

      Trump is one of the best blowhards in the country. He’s got that going for him.

      America will be the casualty of a Trump reign.

        Great! The moment he becomes the 2016 nominee, let me know. 😉

        JJ, it’s time to let it go. There were so many more qualified candidates running but that is the way elections go. All we can hope for is that hillary gets indicted or has medical problems that take her out of the race. Trump continues to stumble from one gaffe to another but he is all we have.

          The new GOP slogan: “Trump continues to stumble from one gaffe to another but he is all we have.”

          BTW: I will continue to think outside the box. I would never vote for Trump so he’s your bag of Cheetos now.

          Best case scenario, barring a delegate insurgency: Hillary wins with under 50%, no mandate, out in 4 years, replaced by a conservative.
          Worst case scenario: Trump tarnishes Republican brand completely.
          What to do: don’t fall in line.

          Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife’s husband won TWICE with under 50% of the vote. Only had 43% the first time. Democrats vote for the party not for the country.

      Yeah, I was #NeverHillary. And then Donald Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee and I realized that I’m fighting yesterday’s battle.

      Are there any premiums if I sign up new recruits for your #NeverHillary #ToolsForTrump movement? Maybe a hymnal so we can all sing the same songs of #NeverHillary? An all expenses paid stay at a #NeverHillary reeducation camp? C’mon, work with us here!

    You’ve got to get your mind right, JJ. You know you can’t blaspheme the yellow demigod at LI anymore. Just sit down, shut up, and enjoy the all-Trump-all-the-time circle jerk. You don’t have to participate, but criticism simply won’t be tolerated. Maybe the whole hope and change thingy didn’t work out for you, but #NeverHillary is now the answer to everything and anything that might trouble you about Donald Trump. Get with the program.

So when are Kemberlee and Neo going to capitulate? (evil grin)

Doesn’t matter what Trump says or does anymore, the nevertrump ninnies will always stick to the script.

Why not flood the country with Jihadi warriors while disarming Americans by neutralizing the Second Amendment? Because #NeverTrump.

Or we could act like actual Americans and start fighting back.

The choice has never been so obvious.

Excellent work, Leslie.

You are giving me a reason not to delete LI from my blogroll.

The contrast between #NeverTrump and reality becomes clearer with time.

Trump whipped their butts during the primaries and they are still too sore to sit down. While their political ADD kept them from uniting around a conservative candidate, Trump stole a march on them. The climate hasn’t been better for a conservative candidate since Carter and those fools blew it. Now they’ve replaced their ADD with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) and we are expected to ignore their proven incompetence and follow them in political suicide. Their credibility is gone. Their pettyness is on display. Having lost, they have to destroy their nemesis at all costs. Any argument they present against Trump applies to Hillary 10x over. The ‘Evil Trump’ Venn circle is much smaller than the ‘Evil Hillary’ circle. ‘Good Hillary’ is an oxymoron, the ‘Good Trump’ circle exists by itself.

These are the same fools who gave us Obama 2 by staying home because Romney wasn’t pure enough, who voted for Perot and gave us Clinton 1, who voted Libertarian in VA and gave us Gov McAwful, etc. If you liked the results of those elections, you’ll love a Hillary presidency.

Where’s Teddy C in all this?
Oh, that’s right ; he was noted for his absent votes in the senate. Teddy no show.
The template for “principled Conservatives.”
Yet another good read Leslie. I agree with Wyntre.

“Ignorance is not bliss. It’s deadly. Totally deadly.”

Yep, it’s right up there with the self-reinforcing folly of Trumpism.

Jack over at SOFREP is a smart and connected cat and when he reports- it’s done well.

If you can get past all the “ra-ra-I’m an SEAL Operator” non-quiet professional antics from Brandon/Ian who bring very little to the show- the podcast is worth listening to. You bet I’m catching the episode where Jack reviews this event.

Thanks Leslie!
It’s nice to read some sanity occasionally.

Thanks Leslie. It’s a dirty job but someone has to do it.

Actually, on this one I agree with President Obama that it was not ‘radical Islamic terrorism’.
This one was ‘radical Islamic vigilantism.’

And I greatly fear that this is a new front opening in this war; not so much ‘lone-wolf’ terrorists, as Islamic vigilantes in a bloody enforcement of sharia law. They will not have ties to foreign organizations; they will not show email links to ISIS. No, they will act on their own. They see a license to kill, and will use it.

    This kind of warfare is here to stay, and there is nothing much we can do about it other than purchase a weapon for self-defense and carry it around.

      Edge ;
      We could suspend muslin immigration until we get it sorted out. If only someone would propose that.

        Zachary in reply to secondwind. | June 14, 2016 at 1:04 pm

        Great but that won’t do a thing about the ones already here. So it’s just another policy for show.

          DaMav in reply to Zachary. | June 14, 2016 at 1:18 pm

          Denying the ‘already here’ enemy a continual stream of reinforcements is not just a policy for show.

          If flies got into your house because you left the window open, the first step in removing the infestation is to close the window. That’s where you start. Not closing the window makes anything else you do useless.

          It would limit the damage to the problem at hand ;
          Of course I realize that’s not as brilliant as both of your suggestion, throwing up your hands & saying there’s nothing that can be done.
          Do you people think thru anything you spew out? Or is it all spit out anything that comes to mind & proclaim it the final word?

        I am all for it. I am all for building the wall. However, with Trump as Republican standard-bearer those things are less likely than ever. Trump will discredit a lot of good conservative ideas. Already doing it.

          I repeat, edge spits it out, that makes it the final word.
          Your logic isn’t even consistent within the structure of this, your particular response.
          Trump proposed this months ago. All any of you have done is trash it along with anything else he’s said.
          That’s not consistent thinking, that’s opposition just so you can be on the record as One of Ragspierres bobbleheads.
          I guess it gives you some sort of notoriety as one of Rags renegade’s ; tho what the hell that’s good for is beyond me.
          But you & Jenny J. apparently get something out of it.

          headinthesandbox has declared for Hillary, and thinks “Trump will discredit a lot of good conservative ideas”.

          LOL, you really can’t make this stuff up.

          The idea for border wall, for instance, is not Trump’s. It’s something that was discussed for decades and is long overdue. Trump said a lot of sloppy, outrageous things about it that made him a darling of some individuals but the idea itself became unpopular with the voting public. See here:
          http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2016/04/01/surprise-support-for-border-wall-with-mexico-falls-18-points-since-september-n2141742
          Building he wall was a tall order to begin with, and with Trump championing it the wall becomes impossible.
          Similarly, the idea of curbing Muslim immigration is not new. Trump claimed it as his and will make it unpopular.
          And note, I didn’t trush this as well as many other things that Trump said. I trushed Trump, the crony capitalist who has no clue about the Constitution and has a soft spot for dictators. I trusted him because I don’t trust a word coming out of his mouth and because he will make good ideas unattainable. I think he will be worse than Hillary.
          ….
          And Barry, silence is golden.

          “And Barry, silence is golden.”

          typical left wing commie kook, wants to silence the opposition.

          A true Hillary supporter.

          I think you may be the most ignorant commenter on LI. It’s close, I’ll admit.

          Your strawman argument fools no one. Since no Trump supporter is making the claim Trump thought of it first, it just points out how shallow and vapid your thought process.

      VaGentleman in reply to edgeofthesandbox. | June 14, 2016 at 9:42 pm

      And how will we buy a weapon to defend ourselves after President Hillary appoints judges who reinterpret the 2A out of existence? The fallacy of #NeverTrump becomes clearer over time.

This Lawless Hillary, Who obeys no Law, must be called out for breaking any law she doesn’t like. Obama has been doing the same thing. The latest is taking Foreign Money for election funds. Is everyone asleep in this country ? Why can some Politicians not follow the ” Rule of Law ?” Oblamo & HRC, are the most notable. We must save our country from the Globalist & open border people, who actually want to LOOT AMERICA

Obama: That’s not the America we want. We want an America of tolerance and inclusion.

Which is why we insist on allowing unlimited immigration of millions of Muslims who oppress women, despise Jews, murder gays, and want a society in which all non-Muslims (i.e. infidels) are subjugated.

Because nothing is more likely to advance the goals of tolerance and inclusion than importing a large population of people dedicated to intolerance and exclusion!

(And psssssst, remember Trump is the crazy, irrational one!)

BTW Happy Birthday Donald Trump.
