Good afternoon, I’m still reporting on politics. Six weeks ago, when President Obama was traveling in Ethiopia, he told the press: "I actually think I'm a pretty good president. I think if I ran, I could win.” This set off a mini firestorm of paranoia in certain far right circles that Obama might be thinking about ways to make that happen – a la President Nixon in 1973-74. Not surprisingly, a subsequent survey by McLaughlin & Associates found that voters have soundly rejected any such option. The survey question was: "Do you want to see the Constitution amended so that Barack Obama could run for a third term as president?" Those polled overwhelmingly said “No” by an overall 77-17% margin. Democrats said no by 59 to 32%. Even African Americas, rejected the idea by a 43 to 42 margin. Among women, 73% voted No. Among men, 82% No. Among Hispanics, 67% voted No. Even among under 40s, 69% No. This, despite the latest Gallup Poll which still has Obama polling with a 46% favorable rating. According to poll analyst Rob Schmidt, as quoted in the Washington Examiner: "It is quite apparent that voters do not want to give Obama a third term. [He] is beloved by his base, but most seem ready to move on," I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day.
The left is doing its best to convince America that Trump is not making America great again, but the numbers don’t lie.

But in addition, last night a new Washington Post Poll came out that showed that if the election were re-done today, Trump would end up beating Hillary Clinton by on even bigger margin, not only in the Electoral College, but in the popular vote by a surprising margin of 43 to 40. And this from the newspaper that has consistently bashed Trump the most in the past year.

According to a new Gravis Marketing poll taken for the One America News Network – Donald Trump is now favored by 40.1% of the voting public.
It’s the first time that any candidate has exceeded the 30% mark in the huge poll.
According to Robert Herring, Sr. CEO of One America News Network:
“Claims by media that Trump peaked in July have proven to be false.”
The poll was taken on August 21-22. It surveyed over 3,500 voters across the nation with a margin of error of only 2%.
Dr. Ben Carson came in second with 13%.
Jeb Bush got 10%, and Ted Cruz 7%.
Trump jumped up an astonishing 9.3% in a single month. Dr. Ben Carson jumped up 6.9% to take second place from Jeb Bush.

Good morning, I’m still reporting on Texas School Board Votes 6-1 to Remove Charlie Brown Bible Verses
Good morning, I’m still reporting on the supreme authority of the 1st Amendment.
Could all this just be some sort of bad dream? A single Bible verse – not only the most-cited verse as the root of our Christmas celebration – but recited in the Charlie Brown Christmas Special by the cartoon character Linus – is now too politically incorrect to be displayed on the door of a middle school clinic during Christmas time?
Well, if you were in attendance at the Killeen Independent School District Board meeting last night you would have seen 6 of the 7 School Board members vote to support the actions of the school principal who ordered clinic aide, Dedra Shannon to either remove the Bible verse, or the entire door wrapper would have to be removed.
This vote came in spite of a letter yesterday from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton urging the district to:
“… rescind this unlawful policy, apologize to Ms. Shannon and move back into compliance with state and federal laws.”
Only one member of the School Board voted to restore the door wrapper display of Ms. Shannon’s, the President of the School Board, Terry Delano.
“I believe that we have come to a place in our nation where we’re taking Christ out of everything, in this case, the very word Christmas, Christ-mas, and it concerns me that someday we won’t even be able to say that,” said Delano after the meeting.
Attorney General Paxton says that this is exactly the type of situation that the 2013 “Merry Christmas” law was intended to protect.
The law was intended to stop the growing mis-interpretations of the wall of separation between church and state concept.
Many now believe that it means that government can regulate how citizens can show support for their various religious beliefs.
But such is not the case.
The concept, according to President Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Danbury Baptists on Jan. 1, 1802, falls under the protections of the 1st Amendment which guarantees “the free exercise of religion.” Here’s the exact wording:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Freedom of religion was considered the most important right because it was the first one mentioned! What part of “Congress shall make no law….” is difficult to understood here?
In other words, it is not a 2-way street. When the people are given absolute authority, any law can only strip away at that supreme authority. The 1st Amendment is all the protection needed.
Ms. Shannon’s attorney, Jonathan Saenz with Texas Values, said he will continue to pursue the matter:
“The Killeen … School Board is on an island of their own, and they’re … legally in a very dangerous place, and we are going to continue to look at all our legal options….”

Donald Trump has closed to within one percentage point of Canadian migrant, Ted Cruz, in the Texas primary.
The Emerson College survey found Cruz 29%, Trump 28%, Rubio 25, Kasich 9, and Carson 4%.
The Emerson survey was done Sunday through Tuesday and consisted of polling 446 likely primary voters with a 4.6% margin of error.
A poll released yesterday by the Univ. of Texas and the Texas Tribuse showed Cruz ahead of Trump by 8 points.
Cruz 37%, Trump 29%, Rubio 15%, Bush 6%, Kasich 5% and Carson 4%. The poll was conducted the day before the South Carolina primary and had a margin of error of 3.5%.
The difference in these polls is critical. Only the latest one had any chance of measuring the quickly-building bandwagon effect that Trump’s win in South Carolina has had.

Yesterday, Turkish President Erdogan said unless the European Union pays Turkey $3.3 billion dollars to help pay for the surge of migrants from Syria, he will bus millions of them to northwestern Turkey and open the floodgates to allow them to wash over all of Europe.
A little history is necessary here to explain what’s going on. Turkey claims it has already taken in 2.5 million refugees fleeing the Syrian war at a cost of 8.7 billion dollars – about $3500 per person. But the latest wave of Russian bombing is sending millions more to Turkey’s southern border.
Turkey has been battling with the EU over their refusal to allow them admission into the European Union, for many years.
The last position of the EU was that full membership for Turkey will take until at least 2021. Why the stall?
Can you imagine in today’s conditions, what would happen if Turkey became a member of Schengen Group. That is the group of EU nations that all have a common EU-wide passport. Then, nothing could stop millions more to flood into Western Europe at will.
On top of that, Turkey’s relatively new president Ergodan is a hard-core Islamist. Erdogan has been involved in Islamist political movements since his student days. In 1998, as Mayor of Istanbul, he was thrown into prison for 10 months for religious intolerance.
In Aug. 2014, he won a squeaker election of 51% against the more secular elements that had ruled Turkey for decades. The result: Turkey has taken a hard turn towards an Islamic dictatorship. President Erdogan built a new 1,000-room palace for himself called Ak Saray - which means white palace.
He has cracked down on the press and social media, blocking on occasions, all of the big 3 – YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. Opposition journalists and politicians now brand him a dictator.
Last October, U.S. VP Joe Biden accused Turkey of funding ISIS.
But when Turkey shot down a Russian fighter last Nov. 24, it tangled with the Bear.
Russian President Putin decided to punish Turkey in a slow, but clever way. He constructed a giant airfield in Northern Syria, and began a relentless bombing campaign that he claims is designed to maintain Syrian President Assad in power. However, US military experts say that Putin’s bombing campaign is also designed to maximize damage to civilian areas and cause an even bigger wave of refugees into Turkey.
According to Col. Oliver North, speaking on Fox News last night. 400,000 people have died in the war in Syria, now creating a flood of as many as 14 million refugees headed north into Turkey.
Turkey has about the same population as Germany – about 80 million. We can now see the long-term cultural damage 1.1 million migrants have already done to Germany in just one year. Imagine the damage an additional 14 million would do?
So, although totally inhumane, the Russian scorched-earth plan is absolutely brilliant on Russia’s part. They increase their new foothold in the Middle East, and if the refugee flood destroys Western Europe, so what? For all practical purposes, that only weakens NATO and leaves Eastern Europe less able to resist Putin into the future. Putin, on the other hand, is smart enough to keep Muslim migrants to a minimum.
What happens if Trump comes into the picture? Trump is wisely not showing his hand, but at least we can hope for some significant relief on the major driver behind the migrant invasion of Europe.

The police chief of Cologne, Germany has been suspended for failing to control the crowd as hundreds of women were raped, robbed and sexually molested on New Year’s Eve.
Wolfgang Albers, aged 60, was put into “temporary retirement” according to Ralf Jaeger, the Interior Minister for North Rhine-Westphalia state.
Jaeger admitted that the suspension was an attempt to calm the public’s fears with Winter Carnival celebrations starting next month.
The attacks were carried out when over 1,000 immigrant men descended on the festivities in front of Cologne’s train station.
Women were surrounded by gangs of young Muslims and attacked. If boyfriends were present they were beaten and robbed by others as the attacks went on.
Some terrified women were forced to run gauntlets through the crowd and at least two were raped.
Similar mass molestations occurred across Germany, however German media has done their best to downplay the reports.
Chief Albers was only suspended after Germany’s journalists’ union issued a statement this morning accusing his department of sending out inaccurate information about the mass molestations.
Chief Albers and Mayor Henriette Reker had said that there was no reason to believe those behind the sex attacks were refugees.
However individual officers have come forward and told Cologne’s Express newspaper:
“We arrested 15 people. These people have been in Germany only a few days or weeks.
“Of these 15 people, 14 are from Syria and one from Afghanistan. This is the truth even if it hurts.”

Good afternoon, I’m still reporting on the Clintons.
Well, it looks like the FBI’s interview with Hillary Clinton did happen this morning. Here is video of her returning to her home in FBI vehicles.
But despite my interpretation of former Attorney General Mukasey’s statement the night before where it looked like he was implying that Clinton would be at least recommended for indictment, Judge Jeanine sees it otherwise.
Friday morning she made an appearance on Fox and Friends to discuss whether Attorney General Loretta Lynch was stepping aside from the Clinton investigation:

Just 2 weeks before the premier of the new Star Wars movie, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, said that star wars weaponry will be coming to Air Force Special Operations aircraft by 2020.
According to Kelly Hammett, chief engineer for the lab’s Directed Energy Directorate:
"We see the technology evolving and maturing to the stage where it really can be used."
For many years, the Air Force has had a giant 747 for a laser testbed, but arming fighter jets will be much more difficult because of the vibration, g-forces and much smaller size that must be involved. But, Hammet thinks most of, if not all those hurdles can be overcome within 5 years.
Air Force Special Operations is already planning to install offensive laser weapons on 4 or 5 of its C-130 gunships used for special operations missions.
Recently, Lt. General Bradley Heithold, commander of AFSOC told the New York Post that laser weapons would allow special operators to take the opposition by surprise in missions such as hostage rescue:
“What it really boils down to is a silent weapon that nobody sees or hears.”
But also, the Air Force Research Lab is also working on a defensive laser shield – a 360-degree bubble that would surround a U.S. warplane.
The U.S. Navy has already deployed test lasers on the USS Ponce. The laser destroyed small metal targets and blew up a target airborne drone. It worked so well that the Navy has left the test laser aboard as an authorized working defensive weapon.
China has already deployed laser weapons – illegal ones.
According to the most respected military writer, Bill Gertz, writing in the Washington Free Beacon, China’s military has equipped its forces with blinding laser weapons in violation of an international agreement signed by Beijing.
