Let’s go to what he is reported to have said: Trump: Maybe ‘Second Amendment People’ Could Stop Clinton From Picking Judges.

Trump said at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Tuesday that if Clinton gets to pick federal judges as president, there is nothing that can be done to protect the right to bear arms.

But then he adds without elaboration that maybe supporters of the Second Amendment could figure out a way. . . .

My first reaction on hearing that he had said this was to think that it was the first time I had heard him utter a defeatist word, hypothesising that Hillary might win in November. But then I have watched the reaction across the media, and even among the supposed conservative media, accepting the left-media’s interpretation of what Trump had said, that he had been advocating some kind of violence against Hillary. There are political morons everywhere, I’m afraid, but the left-media must be amazed at how stupid the conservative side of politics is. I will go to the logic of what Trump is supposed to have said, which is that:

• if Hillary is elected
• and she gets to choose the next Supreme Court justices
• and she chooses nominees who are opposed to the second amendment
• then, what?

It ought to be obvious that if she is already president, her death would have no effect on who is chosen for the Supreme Court. Suppose she nominates Judges X and Y and then another blood clot to the brain carries her off. The same nominees will go forward under President Kaine.

The thing that makes Trump so different from all of the other Republicans is that he is not gun shy of a serious fight. He must be no little dismayed and quite a lot disgusted by the Republican first eleven who are weak beyond measure and who have no fight in them. The way the story continues is how it looked to me even as I read his words:

Trump himself seemed unaware of the controversy in an interview shortly after the rally, but he repeated that his point was that Second Amendment advocates are a powerful lobby. Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani also came to Trump’s defense.

“I think you are talking about — I’m not sure because I haven’t’ heard this question — but I think you’re talking about the power of people that are in favor of the Second Amendment, and they have tremendous political power,” he said.

When asked about Democrats’ statements equating the remark to condoning violence, Trump said: Oh no, no. This is political power.”

Giuliani added, “I mean, this is the Clinton trick book that you fall for all the time.”

Trump senior communications adviser Jason Miller told CBS News’ Major Garrett the accusations the GOP nominee was calling for violence are “completely ridiculous.”

“Donald Trump was obviously talking about American voters who are passionate about their Second Amendment rights and advocating they use that power at the ballot box,” Miller told CBS News. “The Clinton campaign is desperate and is obviously throwing all sorts of outrageous charges. I am surprised so many reporters are falling hook-line-and-sinker for what is obviously a ridiculous charge.”

I’m not surprised, of course, and I would be surprised if he really were surprised. The media are Trump’s most relentless enemies.

What I like about Trump is that he brings a gun to a knife fight. He does not back down. He’s new at this political game, but what he is not new at is fighting to win. You want to win yourself, you want to get your policies up even with the gale force media winds in front. It disgusts me to see how weak his support is. Here it is, you dummkopfs. We are down to the last two, and if it’s not Trump then its Hillary. Don’t tell me about all of your concerns with this and that. If you are not all in for Trump, then do me a favour and just shut up.

Donald Trump suggests that political pressure could be applied to a President Clinton on the selection of supreme court justices in relation to the 2nd amendment and every unhinged journalist goes off the deep end accusing him of advocating violence. The story: Trump: Maybe ‘Second Amendment People’ Could Stop Clinton From Picking Judges.

But then he adds without elaboration that maybe supporters of the Second Amendment could figure out a way. . . .

Like, say, through the Senate rejecting a nominee, maybe. Anyway, here he is:

I’m not surprised, of course, but who can be so disciplined in everything they say so that nothing cannot be twisted to make it seem anything you like.

Then there is this story which, as always, shows up in The Daily Mail and thus will have virtually no impact in the United States: Child rape victim comes forward for the first time in 40 years to call Hillary Clinton a ‘liar’ who defended her rapist by smearing her, blocking evidence and callously laughing that she knew he was guilty. The story is an old one but not the statement of the 12-year old victim of a rapist who was defended by Hillary Clinton. The victim is now 54.

• ‘Hillary Clinton is not for women and children,’ says Kathy Shelton, 54, who was 12 years old when she was raped by Thomas Alfred Taylor in Arkansas
• Clinton was the rapist’s defense lawyer, pleading him down to ‘unlawful fondling of a minor’
• The 41-year-old drifter served less than a year in prison
• The plea came after Clinton was able to block the admission of forensic evidence that linked her client to the crime
• Shelton says she’s furious that Clinton has been portraying herself as a lifelong advocate of women and girls on the campaign trail
• Clinton accused Shelton of ‘seeking out older men’ in the case and demanded that she undergo a grueling court-ordered psychiatric examination
• The presidential candidate later laughed while discussing aspects of the case in a recently-unearthed audiotaped interview from the 1980s

Obama on Iran payment: ‘We do not pay ransom’.

Freed Iranian Hostage: Iranians Told Me They Were Waiting For Another Plane To Arrive Before Letting Us Go.

I wonder who is telling the truth.

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “The Intelligence Report with Trish Regan,” Saeed Abedini, one of the four hostages released from Iran back in January, stated that on the night he was freed, his captors told him they were waiting on another plane to arrive before letting him go.

Abedini said, “I just remember the night that we’d been in a[n] airport, just take hours and hours there. And I asked one of the…police that was with us, that, why are you not letting us to go to the…plane? And he told me we are waiting for another plane, and if that plane take off, then we’re going to let you go.”

He added, “[T]hey told us you’re going to be there for 20 minutes. But it took like hours and hours. We slept at the airport, and when I asked them why you don’t let us go, because the plane was there, pilot was there, everyone was ready that we leave the country, they said we are waiting for another plane, and until that plane doesn’t come, we never let you go.”

Abedini was then asked, “Were they effectively waiting for the money to come in before they then let you take off?” He answered, “Yeah. They didn’t talk about money. They just told us about the — they told me about the plane. … So, the reason that they said you’re here in the airport is — was just because we are waiting for another plane.”

Abedini was also asked if he believed a ransom was paid, to which he stated he was grateful for his freedom, but there are others still left behind in Iran.

AND A BIT MORE ON OBAMA’S CHOSEN SUCCESSOR: From a quite compelling article by Darly McCann at Quadrant Online: The Audacity of Crooked Hillary. From which, but you owe it to yourself to read the whole thing:

The corrupt cabal that currently rules – and betrays – America and the entire West is not going anywhere. Hillary Clinton magnanimously invited the supporters of Sanders to put aside their acrimony and get with the strength. Bernie, who had always been too gentlemanly – or should we say too PC? – to confront Clinton on the meaning of the private server and the deleted 30,000 emails, now meekly submitted. Hillary Clinton has not participated in a proper news conference for over nine months and yet over and over again, during the televised Democratic debates, Bernie Sanders passed up the opportunity to address the record of the woman in the spotlight immediately adjacent to him. His faint-heartedness, we could conclude, amounts to a form of complicity.
