CNN analysts critize U.S. troops for asking Trump to sign MAGA hats

Wait a minute! Is that Barry with pen in hand? Is he signing magazine covers of himself or giving out his phone number?

Here he is again.

Michelle doing the same as Barry.

Do you remember all the commotion brought about by CNN over the Obama's signing autographs? Evidently, its OK to sign a magazine cover but a hat is a no-no.

I Haven't seen CNN that upset since this Obama mural appeared at a Philadelphia polling place!

---------------------------------

CNN analysts cast a disapproving eye Wednesday on U.S. soldiers in Iraq who asked President Trump to sign their red “Make America Great Again” hats at his surprise Christmas appearance.

“Troops bringing Trump hats to sign may violate military rule,” said the Wednesday night headline on the CNN website.

On CNN’s “The Situation Room” with Jim Acosta, former Obama administration official and retired Rear Admiral John Kirby called it “completely inappropriate” for troops to seek autographs on the hats popularized in the 2016 Trump presidential campaign.

Tell me Admiral... which was worse? Trump signing MAGA hats or Barry signing the Iran Nuke Deal?

“It is, in fact, a campaign slogan, that is a campaign item, and it’s completely inappropriate for the troops to do this,” Mr. Kirby said. “Not supposed to do this. And I’m sure their boss is seeing that. They’re not going to be happy about it.”

CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr called it “very much against military policy and regulation.”

“The pool reporters traveling said that the troops brought the hats with them, including one hat that said ‘Trump 2020,’” said Ms. Starr. “We will have to see if that actually proves to be the case. The question is, if they brought them or if the President brought them: What commander allowed that to really happen?”

She added that, “Troops are not supposed to be involved in political activities. The U.S. military is not a political force.”

The conservative Media Research Center accused CNN of a double-standard, arguing that the network would have reacted differently if the president had been Barack Obama.

“If it were troops handing ‘Yes We Can’ items to Obama for him to sign, CNN would either be touting it or not talking about it because it would be fine and a given that the President had their support,” said MRC’s Nicholas Fondacaro. “But not for this President. This is CNN.”

Mr. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump made an unannounced visit late Tuesday to Al Asad Airbase in Iraq to thank the troops for their sacrifice and help them celebrate the holidays.

Suspect in police officer's killing in U.S. illegally, authorities say: 'He doesn't belong here'

This undated photo provided by the Newman Police Department shows officer Ronil Singh of Newman Police Department who was killed by an unidentified suspect. The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department said Singh was conducting a traffic stop early Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2018, in the town of Newman, Calif. when he called out "shots fired" over his radio.

Officer Ronil Singh, of the Newman Police Department, is survived by his wife, Anamika, and a five-month-old son, who are pictured next to him on Christmas Day

Authorities released surveillance images of the suspected illegal dog sought in the shooting death of Singh

The government is closed down now because Democrats don't want a wall. It's immoral they say. Try telling that to Singh's wife. But they are advocates of sanctuary cities and giving illegals a drivers license and totally against voter ID.

Anyone see a common theme here?

Do you honestly believe they give a shit about the everyday American?

 Cpl. Ronil Singh...another one to be added on a long list.

SAN FRANCISCO — A gunman suspected of killing a Northern California police officer who pulled him over to investigate if he was driving drunk is in the country illegally, authorities said Thursday.

Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said detectives identified the suspect in the slaying of Cpl. Ronil Singh of the small-town Newman Police Department but didn’t release his name. The attacker is still on the loose, and he said authorities searching for a second day believe he’s still in the area and is armed and dangerous.

“This suspect … is in our country illegally. He doesn’t belong here. He is a criminal,” Christianson said at a news conference.

Authorities are looking for a man seen in surveillance photos at a convenience store shortly before Singh was killed Wednesday. Officials pleaded for help from the public and said they were following up on several leads.

“The sheriff’s office will spare no expense in hunting down this criminal,” said Christianson, whose department is leading the investigation.

Christianson said Singh, a 33-year-old native of Fiji with an infant son, stopped the attacker as part of a DUI investigation and that the officer fired back to try to defend himself.

Singh was shot a few minutes after radioing that he was pulling over a gray pickup truck that had no license plate in Newman, a town of about 10,000 people some 100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of San Francisco. Singh died at a hospital.

A ground and air search began for the heavyset man pictured at the store with short, dark hair and wearing a silver chain, jeans, dark T-shirt and a dark jacket with white Ecko brand patches on the shoulders.

A truck believed to have been the one stopped by Singh was later found in a garage in a mobile home park about 4 miles (6 kilometers) from the shooting, where law enforcement officers were serving a search warrant, The Modesto Bee reported. Investigators were examining the vehicle, police said.

Singh joined the Newman police force in 2011. Earlier in his career, Ronil Singhworked as a deputy with the Merced County Sheriff’s Department.

“He was living the American dream,” said Stanislaus County sheriff’s Deputy Royjinder Singh, who is not related to the slain officer but knew him. “He loved camping, loved hunting, loved fishing, loved his family.”

On his Facebook page, Ronil Singh posted pictures on Christmas Eve from a deep-sea fishing trip that produced a big haul of crabs and fish. His profile picture shows him smiling as he stands at a patrol car with a dog - the same photograph of the officer released by the Sheriff’s Department.

Ronil Singh is survived by his wife, Anamika, and a 5-month-old son, authorities said.

Daughters of late podiatrist say he diagnosed Donald Trump with bone spurs during Vietnam War as a 'favor'

In every newsroom across the country, there's a section called 'The Get Trump Division'. It's their only objective.

 They'll look under every rock. Check every nook and cranny to get dirt on Trump. Yet they didn't show the slightest bit of curiosity as to what was actually inside Barry's college transcripts. What was so important that it had to be kept secret to this day?

I'm sure if Trump would have said this bone spur incident was a 'simple mistake' the MSM would have given him the benefit of the doubt just like Barry. 

They're fair that way.

---------------------------------

President Donald Trump may have been able to avoid military service in Vietnam because a podiatrist in Queens, New York, did a “favor” for his father and diagnosed 22-year-old Trump with bone spurs in his heels.

The podiatrist, Larry Braunstein, died in 2007, but his daughters recently told The New York Times that their father frequently recalled coming to the aid of the Trump family during the Vietnam War in the late 1960s.

“I know it was a favor,” said Elysa Braunstein, along with her sister, Sharon Kessel, in a report published on Wednesday. The two said that their father’s account implied that Trump did not have the foot ailment that kept him out of the war.

“But did he examine him? I don’t know,” Elysa Braunstein added. Two years before he was diagnosed with bone spurs, Trump had been deemed eligible for conscription by the Selective Service System.

Larry Braunstein ran his practice for decades out of a building in Jamaica, Queens, that was owned and operated by the president’s father, Fred Trump. The Trump family sold the building that housed Braunstein’s practice in 2004.

“What he got was access to Fred Trump,” Elysa Braunstein told The Times. “If there was anything wrong in the building, my dad would call and Trump would take care of it immediately. That was the small favor that he got.”

The Times did not find any paper evidence to corroborate the account of Larry Braunstein’s daughters.

The daughters also mentioned another doctor, Manny Weinstein, who they say was involved in Trump's bone spur diagnosis. Weinstein died in 1995, but records show he lived in two apartments owned by Fred Trump and moved into the first in 1968, the same year Trump received his diagnosis and became exempt from serving in the war.

The bone spurs diagnosis afforded Trump a one-year medical deferment. He also had four educational deferments that helped him avoid military service.

When asked about the ailment that kept him out of Vietnam, Trump has said that he did not remember the doctor who diagnosed the bone spurs and never mentioned any potential link between the doctor and his father.

Years after avoiding the draft, the president joked that avoiding sexually transmitted diseases was as difficult as serving in Vietnam, during a 1998 interview with Howard Stern. In the exchange Trump said that he was going to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for his ability to stay alive while “screwing a lot of women.”

"It's Vietnam," Trump told Stern. "It is very dangerous. So I'm very, very careful.”

Trump also drew fire for his attacks against the late Senator John McCain, who was held prisoner for more than five years during the Vietnam War. During his presidential campaign, Trump said that McCain was not a “hero” because he was captured.

"He is not a war hero," Trump said. "He is a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured, OK? I hate to tell you. He is a war hero because he was captured."

McCain was a prisoner at the Hỏa Lò Prison in Hanoi, Vietnam. The decorated veteran was offered early release from the camp because his father was a high-ranking official in the U.S. Navy, but McCain repeatedly declined the offer, because he did not want to leave his fellow prisoners behind.

Trump has drawn continued criticism for his handling of issues surrounding the military. Earlier this year, the president was mocked for skipping a visit to a cemetery for fallen American soldiers in France, citing the rain. Trump was also slammed for being the first U.S. president in 15 years not to visit troops during the Christmas holiday. 

Speaking via video conference to U.S. troops at home and abroad on Christmas Day, Trump said, “I want you to know that every American family is eternally grateful to you.”
