Something is off about this guy, Khizr Kahn, who spoke during the Democrat Convention, and who has been used in countless anti-Trump ads that are only thinly disguised as news articles. He was born in Pakistan, but raised in the United Arab Emirates. He attended Harvard Law School on a UAE student visa, and then worked on K Street in Washington, DC for several years, specializing in discovery law. He recently opened an office in New York City, near Hillary’s campaign office. In his speech and in interviews following, he keeps saying that his son had wanted to be a military lawyer. The proper term is JAG Officer but his son was a captain and not in the JAG Corps at the time of his death. His son died twelve years ago, but he doesn’t say anything about when his son died, nor does he make it clear that the people who killed his son were Islamic extremists. The actual cause of death isn’t mentioned, and that seems odd. He is attacking Trump, although his son was supposedly killed during the Bush administration, yet people are eating up his interviews and, after the attacks on Trump, the media is afraid or otherwise not inclined to ask any questions that might lead away from the narrative. It seems as if this is a lot like street theater, with the media playing a rehearsed role in it.
Soon enough, he may become the newest "Johhny Hwang", bringing cash into the White House for campaign purposes, illegal if the dough is of foreign origin. To bring this about, Presidential orders (in the case of Hwang, a Chinese National) were given personally to Secret Service by the Pres. himself. This activity so angered one of their ranks, he quit and spilled the news. I have actual names and documentation somewhere buried in the archives. Frank
Yes, but since it's a conservative news site, the info is meaningless and won't change the perception about the whole mess. I really wish Trump would be a little softer in his public appearances and comments. This is not helping him now. At least not in my opinion. Also, I wish he would not have an angry face in every single picture I see of him. I'm not voting for Hillary but Trump can really act like a jerk....time to do some homework and focus on his His campaign if he wants to win. Wether the Khan thing is true or not, I think it's too late no matter what dirt is found. Of course this is all just my opinion and how I feel but I am a voter that's kind of been on the fence about Trump. Some may like his style but it's not my style.... I don't like loudmouth, brash, in your face types. I'm looking past that and hoping he will be more professional and presidential in the future. He didn't need this whole Khan circus and it could have been avoided. Until a neutral source comes out with any negative info on Khan, you just hope it goes away eventually on its own.
Little about the man who attacked Trump on his policy for immigrants. This guy has deep connection to Muslim brotherhood Khizr Muazzam Khan graduated in Punjab University Law College, as the New York Times confirms. He specialized in International Trade Law in Saudi Arabia. An interest lawyer for Islamic oil companies Khan wrote a paper, called In Defense of OPEC to defend the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), an intergovernmental oil company consisting of mainly Islamic countries. But more than this, Khan is a promoter of Islamic Sharia Law in the U.S. He was a co-founder of the Journal of Contemporary Issues in Muslim Law (Islamic Sharia). Khan’s fascination with Islamic Sharia stems from his life in Saudi Arabia. During the eighties Khan wrote a paper titled Juristic Classification of Islamic [Sharia] Law. In it he elucidated on the system of Sharia law expressing his reverence for “The Sunnah [the works of Muhammad] — authentic tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).” A snapshot of his essay can be seen here: http://shoebat.com/2016/07/31/what-...law-and-bring-muslims-into-the-united-states/ http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...es-muslim-brotherhood-terrorist-organization/
If your sources are conservative outlets, it's pointless. The people that read those are voting for Trump anyway. Trump already has the vote of the people that like his style, it's moderates and on the fence voters and even Ted Cruz supporters he's got to sway.
If he couldn't stand criticism, then why did he get up at a political convention and criticize an opposing candidate? Once you put yourself in that position, you should know that you're opening yourself up for criticism. Because he's a Gold Star parent, he can say whatever he likes and no one can refute anything he says? Well, I'm a Gold Star parent too, but if I get behind a microphone at a political rally, I am inviting criticism from anyone who takes another side.
Trump is not going to get the liberal media sources to campaign for him as they do for Hillary, and there are no neutral sources.
Then I don't think it will affect anything. I'm a moderate and although I'm leaning toward Trump and won't vote for Hillary, I don't believe what are obvious conservative or liberal sites...I just don't. This info will have to at least show up on CNN. Also this whole incident really didn't change my mind one way or another except that I'm tiring of his stupid mistakes. He needs to stop tweeting idiotic things and focus on the issues, not all this stuff that just sidelines him and gives the other side more ammo. He needs to focus when he makes a speech not go off on the fire Marshall etc. he's all over the place.
Is it just me that thinks he's been acting like a jerk lately? True that I don't watch everything he says but what I've seen irritates me. He's not good with question/answer settings. I don't know who he's surrounding himself with but maybe he needs better people. Melania's speech mistake shouldn't have Happened, everything should have been cleaned up on her website, etc. This isn't high school, he has money for the best people....why aren't they doing a better job?
Hillary is going to control the media spin. Neither Trump or any other Republican will be treated fairly by the mainstream media, and that includes Fox this year. The mainstream media are liberal media sources, no more trustworthy than Breitbart.com. Whether Trump says or does anything stupid or not, he will be portrayed as having done so. Look at the furor over Trump asking the Russians to hack into Hillary's email. That's not what he said, and anyone listening to what he actually said would recognize it as an obvious joke, and not a bad one at that. Still, the news media, including Fox, ran the Hillary spin as the story, and they are still repeating it. They needed that, as well as the Khizr Kahn nonsense, to distract from the awful performance at the Democrat Convention, so the media obliged. This will happen repeatedly, and the media will have the NeverTrump Republicans like the Bushes, Romney, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, as well as hacks like Glenn Beck, who will allow them to continually report that Republicans are turning away from their candidate. That is the way that this election will go because it's that important to them. I am hoping, and believe that people are sick of the media spin on everything. Beginning even before this election season, people are turning away from the networks and the established news media. One poll showed that more people said that they got their news from Facebook and Twitter than from the news media, and when they do read a news report that has been posted on Facebook, they especially read the comments, and the comments don't look good for Hillary, even on rabidly liberal news sites like The Hill and Time.com. This is not going to be an easy election. Trump is running against a portion of the Republican leadership and the media, as well as against Hillary. In the past, I have often doubted him, and I have repeatedly been proven wrong, so I am going to always consider that he just might know what he is doing. As for sources, I'll read any source, including liberal ones, because I want to be able to give accurate information. Despite obvious liberal biases, the Huffington Post often posts accurate news. Breitbart.com is a conservative source but it has been a fairly reliable one, and the site gives references to its own sources. On the other hand, I have quit listening to Glenn Beck and Mark Levin because, although Levin has lightened up with the NeverTrump nonsense, he rarely offers any information that I don't already have and I don't respect his opinions. The importance of any sources of actual news is to keep ourselves informed so that the things we say in conversation, here, or on Facebook, is informed. Fortunately, I believe that there are fewer people today who depend on MSNBC or CNN for their news, and those who do are probably going to be voting Democrat anyhow.
What you say is all true, Ken. That's why Trump has to work extra hard and not make stupid mistakes. He's got the vote of the people that liked his brash style so now he needs to focus on the issues and take it down a notch.
