Actor Jon Voight Lashes Out At Media For Distorting Trump’s Words

Western Journalism   "He’s being attacked continuously."

"Actor Jon Voight spoke out Wednesday against the attempts by the media to distort Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s words into something he never meant.

“ 'People are trying to make him look foolish,” Voight said in an interview with TMZ. “He’s a terrific guy. I know him personally. He’s got a good sense of humor. He’s off the cuff. He’s a lot of fun.”

"Since Tuesday, the media and the campaign of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton have attacked Trump over a few words he said Tuesday during a campaign rally.

“ 'Hillary wants to abolish — essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Trump said. “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”

"Some said those words were an incitement of violence against Clinton.

"When a reporter asked about the contention that Trump was joking about an assassination, Voight sprung to Trump’s defense.

“ 'First of all nobody made…you’re using that word. He didn’t say that word,” Voight said.

"He then scolded the media.

“ 'Don’t do that, don’t distort what he said,” Voight said." . . .

Do NOT mess with Mr. Voight! 

GOP BLAMES VICTIM OF MEDIA RAPE

Ann Coulter "Even having predicted that the media's attacks on Trump would be unprecedented, I'm still amazed. Every single news outlet is dedicated to hysterically denouncing Trump, every minute of every day, while cooing at Hillary. 
"Everything Hillary has ever touched has failed, been engulfed in scandal, resulted in massive investigations, litigation, financial ruin, prison or death. The final stage of any Hillary enterprise is a grand announcement that Hillary did not technically break the law. Or no one can prove she did. Or, even if she did, no one ever gets prosecuted for it. 
"She's prone to coughing fits and lapses of memory in the middle of speeches, and falls down all the time. But that's not nearly as important as the media's manufactured story about Trump throwing a baby out of a rally! 
"Trump is supposed to be joined at the hip to David Duke based on not "disavowing" him with sufficient ferocity the 17th time he was asked about this person he's never met, never mentioned and didn't invite to speak at his convention
"Hillary invited the mother of violent cop-hating criminal Mike Brown to speak at her convention, and the Democratic platform expressly endorses the anti-police Black Lives Matter -- even as these celebrated cop haters inspire the mass slaughter of police officers across the country, in New York City, Dallas and Baton Rouge. 
"Now we find out that another honored guest at Hillary events is the father of Omar Mateen, the Muslim jihadist who murdered 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando a few months ago. On Monday night, he attended a Hillary rally where he sat cheering, right behind her on the stage. 
"Is David Duke's father given VIP seating at Trump events? (As long as you mention it, did David Duke gun down 49 people in June? Or ever? Or anyone?) " . . .

Newly released Clinton emails shed light on relationship between State Dept. and Clinton Foundation

CNN  . . . "Judicial Watch, a conservative* watchdog group, released 296 pages of emails from the Democratic presidential nominee, including 44 that Judicial Watch says were not previously handed over to the State Department by Clinton. The emails, many of which are heavily redacted, raise questions about the Clinton Foundation's influence on the State Department and its relations during her tenure.

"In one instance, top Clinton Foundation official Doug Band lobbied Clinton aides for a job for someone else in the State Department. In the email, Band tells Hillary Clinton's former aides at the department -- Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin -- that it is "important to take care of (redacted)." Band is reassured by Abedin that "Personnel has been sending him options.' " . . .

"Don’t believe the hype about Ibtihaj Muhammad, the US Olympic Team’s fencer, who is being hailed merely because she is Muslim and wears a hijab–the Muslim headscarf of oppression and misogyny. Muhammad is an America-hater, a Jew-hater, and a racist bigot who despises White people.

Barack and Michelle Hussein Obama hail her, merely because she is Muslim and wears a hijab. So does the rest of the media, including hypocritical “women’s” magazines (which teach women to act like sluts and whine about the Republican “war on women” but worship at the altar of the world’s most severely anti-female and subjugating religion). And when the morons who make up the U.S. Olympic Team voted on who would carry the American flag at the Zikalympics opening ceremonies in Rio, Muhammad came in second (which earned her a spot at the front of the pack). These idiots who are great at summer sports, are also great at buying into White guilt over Islam and lacking a critical mass of brain cells." . . .

Connect the dots? Murdered DNC staffer may have been Wikileaks source of emails

"Police said in a press release at the time that patrols heard gunshots around 4:20 a.m. and found Rich suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead later that morning."

Rick Moran  "Rich was murdered in early July, shot multiple times in the back as he was walking down the street. His wallet, watch, cell phone, and credit cards were not taken."
. . . "Taken together, the facts - all the facts - don't prove anything. Even if Rich was, indeed, the source of the email leak, his murder may still have been a robbery gone bad. With nothing taken from the victim, though, the idea that he was killed for some other reason cannot be entirely dismissed.

"At present, the dots simply aren't connecting. But the fact that there are dots to begin with is extremely troubling and those investigating the murder should follow the evidence wherever it leads."

WikiLeaks offers $20K for info on DNC staffer's killing

Gateway Pundit  . . . "Shortly after the killing, Redditors and social media users were pursuing a “lead” saying that Rich was en route to the FBI the morning of his murder, apparently intending to speak to special agents about an “ongoing court case” possibly involving the Clinton family." . . .

From the UK: Raped At 12, Woman Now Speaking Out Against Her Attacker’s Attorney, Hillary Clinton

"Kathy Shelton was 12 years old when she was violently raped by a 41-year-old drifter on the side of an Arkansas road in 1975. Shelton, now 54, sat down with the Daily Mail for an interview where she agreed for the first time to be photographed and officially recognized as the girl whose case has been getting attention during the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.

"Clinton served as defense attorney for Shelton’s accused rapist, Thomas Alfred Taylor, and was successful in plea-bargaining the rape to a lesser charge of “unlawful fondling of a minor.” Taylor spent less than a year in prison.

"Now, years later, seeing Clinton running for president is too much for Shelton to bear, and she’s speaking out." . . .

New Critics of Trump

"The strongest argument — indeed, the only argument — for voting for Trump is Hillary Clinton. For both candidates, the danger is not simply that we might have one bad administration to live through. The far greater danger is that either of them can create an irretrievable catastrophe."

Thomas Sowell  . . . "Now 50 prominent Republicans with foreign policy and national security experience have taken the unprecedented step of publicly and collectively announcing that they cannot vote for Donald Trump because they believe that he would be “the most reckless president in American history.”

"Why? Not only because he has “demonstrated repeatedly that “he has little understanding” of the nation’s “vital national interests” but because “Mr. Trump has shown no interest in educating himself.”

"Indeed, Donald Trump has shown little real interest in anything besides Donald Trump.

"His response to these criticisms has been completely predictable. Trump has not even tried to answer the charges or to assure the American people on something as important as their survival and the survival of this nation. Instead, there is the standard Trump tactic of launching unsubstantiated charges against his critics.

"Even if all his charges against his critics were 100 percent true, that is no assurance to the American people on the vital issues they raised— and for which there are innumerable examples of Trump’s own words and deeds to make people worry about what he would do in the White House." . . .

. . . 

"Republicans opened this game with the stronger hand. But they played that hand into what looks like a defeat at the polls in November — a defeat not only for Trump but for other Republican candidates tainted by the immature and repellent behavior of the man at the top of the ticket.

"One key misstep by the Republican establishment was agreeing, once again, to so-called “debates” in which a stage full of candidates had time for only short and superficial sound bites. Trump was, and is, the king of superficial sound bites."

Trump vs. Trump

"To negate Trump’s advantages, the Democrats had a simple strategy: bring out the demonic Trump. Hillary Clinton would simply lie about her e-mail records ad nauseam. In possum style, she would snore about the economy. She would avert her eyes from the world order’s breaking apart. She would ignore the populist furor with a corrupt Washington and media establishment.. Against this stultifying backdrop, the ego-driven Trump would be allowed to grab the headlines, and the headlines would be petty and embarrassing."

Victor Davis Hanson  . . . "The termed-out incumbent Democratic president can win approval ratings of 50 percent only by staying quiet, out of the public eye, and doing as little governing as possible. Whenever Obama emerges from his hip cocoon and talks off his teleprompter, he reminds us that he is typically petulant, untruthful, and rambling. Witness his latest pathetic assurances that sending cash on pallets at night to obtain simultaneous release of hostages was not ransom. Even the obsequious pajama-boy D.C. press corps did not quite buy that. As so often, Obama’s soft-spoken prevarication comes across as being as coarse as Trump’s crudity.

"Hillary Clinton is the weakest Democratic candidate since her moral superior Jimmy Carter in 1980. She reminds us of her liabilities daily, whether lying repeatedly that the FBI director had not systematically stated she had been untruthful about her unlawful e-mails, or, in a screeching voice, proclaiming her determination to raise taxes on the middle class — not to reduce the $600 billion deficit but to add more entitlements." . . .

The news cycle of the next 100 days also favors Trump: weekly more of the same of Islamic-inspired international terrorism, coupled with Chamberlain-like, politically correct Western appeasement. Black Lives Matter, with the sanction of the Democratic party, will only grow more brazen. (But how does one top disrupting a moment of silence for slain policemen or using a bullhorn to segregate journalists by race?)

Clinton Sought Support of Black Lives Matter, Spurned Law Enforcement Union

Hillary Clinton speaks to Lesley McSpadden, the mother
of Michael Brown

. . . "She's “a straight-up cop hater” who sympathizes with the “criminal element” of the Black Lives Matter movement, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke explained with characteristic bluntness on "Fox and Friends" Monday morning:

"Via The Washington Times:

“It’s a huge miscalculation, a huge political miscalculation on the part of Mrs. Bill Clinton,” the sheriff said. “Look, everyone running for public office, at any level, knows that you want and you have to have the support of not only law enforcement but other first responders. But she has made it clear from the convention that she is all in with the criminal element. She doesn’t care about victims of crime, she’s a straight-up cop hater, and so she is, like I said, rolling the dice on not having the support of law enforcement."

“The problem for her is that middle America, mainstream America, does not share her sentiment in having sympathy for criminals,” he said. “You’re talking a potential 3, 4, 5 million votes that she’s willing to risk just to get in bed with criminals." . . .
