Tim Kaine: Vegas Attacker Stopped 'Because He Didn't Have A Silencer'

Breitbart -- Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) claims the attacker who opened fire on Las Vegas concert goers was only stopped “because he didn’t have a silencer on his weapon.”

According to the Washington Post, Kaine asked, “Can you imagine what this would have been if he had silencers on those weapons?”

His use of the word “silencer” is an echo of other leftists like Rosanne Cash and Gabby Giffords, both of whom use the word “silencer” to describe suppressors. “Silencer” is misleading insomuch as it gives the impression that suppressors silence firearms in real life the way they do in movies. But they do not. Rather, they simply muffle the initial, ear-piercing sound wave created when the bullet is fired.

Kaine’s former running mate, Hillary Clinton, made a similar claim about suppressors on October 2. She tweeted:

Hillary Clinton "The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get. 10:03 AM - Oct 2, 2017

On October 3, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc) took a position closer to Kaine and Clinton than to the pro-Second Amendment community by shelving legislation containing suppressor deregulation.

The bill–the Hearing Protection Act–was expected to come up for a floor vote soon.

Blog Author's Comments: I was not aware that one could survive outside the womb without a brain, but there are many people in politics and the media who are examples of this. Tim Kaine could have been the Vice-President of the United States if it were not for Donald Trump. I truly want to break out laughing every time I see a photo of Kaine. In comparison to mental capability Kaine is on par with the Governor of Ohio, John Kasich.

So now some dangerous people, meaning politicians and most of the members of the media, are talking about 'silencers' (suppressors) and 'bump-stocks' and they had no idea they existed a week ago. I will be quite surprised if we do not see many members of the GOP Congress side with the Democrats in a push to ban both items. Will this have any impact upon the next person who wants to go out and kill a lot of people? The Las Vegas shooter has essentially given a prize to the Democratic Party, letting them again attempt to chip away, a small piece at a time, the items that make the Second Amendment what it now is. And, do not doubt me on this, the leftists would rewrite or totally abolish the amendment if given the chance.

What is wrong with the people of Virginia that they lack the mental caliber and vote to make Tim Kaine a Senator? And what bothers me is that if there are bills banning suppressors and bump-stocks that appear on President Trump's desk, would he sign them? If Trump did sign them into law, I would consider this a win for the Democrats in their continual effort to take away our Second Amendment rights. If the Democrat or Republican politicians - want to have a conversation about guns - fine, but make no mistake, you don't ever get to disarm us, not ever.

Lou Dobbs: If I Were Trump My Hands Would Have Been Around Paul Ryan’s Neck

GP -- Donald Trump flew to Washington DC on Thursday to meet with President Obama, Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Paul Ryan was a very vocal critic of Donald Trump for the past year. Ryan even pulled his endorsement of Donald Trump a month before the election. If Ryan was not on Hillary’s payroll he should have been.

Tonight Lou Dobbs remarked on Trump’s meeting with anti-Trump Speaker Paul Ryan.

Lou Dobbs: I’ve got to tell you I’m such a base and petty man that if Paul Ryan had done to me what he did to Donald Trump my hands would, without any power to resist it all, would be clutching at his throat. And, I have to say, Donald Trump was very presidential. He actually may be seeking to attain the level of saint here in what he has tolerated.

---

Blog Author's Comments -- Lou Dobbs has been one of the most pleasant, reassuring, patriotic and right on target people in the media through all of this. Paul Ryan is a traitor and should definitely step down. He deserves no place within the Trump government. But, many of his buddies in the House, which includes many Democrats, will vote him in again as the Speaker. Being appointed Speaker has gone to Ryan's head; he believes he is someone he is not.

Ryan did all that he could to wreck the Trump train to the White House. Those of us who follow the political culture in Washington know what Ryan is and that he cannot be trusted. As long as he is still Speaker of the House, the establishment still has some control over the legislative and political process. I do hope there is a plan in motion behind the scenes to unseat him as the speaker soon. I don't think Donald Trump has forgotten those who attempted to take him down and out of his race to the presidency.

Paul Ryan Will Trash Trump As Racist On "Face The Nation"

CBS News (Interview has already been recorded) -- "House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, has strongly disavowed comments made by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump less than a week after endorsing him. In a Face the Nation interview set to air this upcoming Sunday, host John Dickerson asked the Speaker how his endorsement is “sitting,” after Donald Trump’s allegation that a judge presiding over a lawsuit involving Trump University is biased due to the his Mexican heritage. Ryan responded with a laugh saying, “It could be better.”

“I do think that those comments are racist comments” Ryan said. “That’s why I’ve disavowed them completely. What bothers me about the comments is it doesn’t reflect who we are or what we think or how we think as Republicans.”

Speaker Ryan added that “the notion that someone’s ethnicity or race effects the way they do their job is completely the opposite of what we believe.” Ryan said.

“I don’t think that those are appropriate comments by any stretch of the mind” the Speaker stated and added, “Hopefully a lesson will be learned here and we can move forward with a better campaign.”

---

Blog Author's Comments -- Only 22% of Republicans believe Donald Trump’s comments on La Raza Judge Curiel were racist. And most of these people don't know the entire story concerning the judge. Donate to Paul Nehlen who is running in the primary against Ryan. He is the only hope to remove Ryan for good.

McConnell, Ryan and others in the GOP will continue everything they can think of to take Trump out. These people simply cannot be trusted; it is very clear they have zero intention of accepting him as POTUS and will do everything in their power to prevent it. Even the few that have said they realize and accept he is the candidate I don't trust, I think they are lying to try to fool everybody.

Ryan and his backstabbing GOPe weasels will give a pass to an activist judge with ties to racist La Raza over their own presidential nominee. They'd rather see Clinton win than have a President Trump who'd mess with their places on the gravy train. Ryan and the rest of the worthless bunch are traitors. This is no longer democrats versus republicans. This is Trump and the people versus the establishment. They are all in bed with each other and anyone who cares about this country can see that.

Our only hope is that Trump becomes president; otherwise we will become a third world country before you know it. It's pretty clear Paul Ryan sees himself as the Trojan horse to upset Trump's nomination. And to further deploy the Never Trump crowd strategy he's meeting with sabotage agent Mitt Romney this weekend. I can't believe Reince Priebus would find interest in being there but I guess this cabal is what it is.

Trump Campaign Says Ryan Plans To Endorse, Ryan SPOX Says Not Yet...

The Blaze -- House Speaker Paul Ryan plans to endorse presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, “senior-level Trump campaign sources” told ABC News.

A Ryan spokesperson, however, told The Blaze, “There’s no update and we’ve not told the Trump campaign to expect an endorsement.”

“He’s also not told anyone he regrets anything,” the spokesperson added.

It’s unclear if or when Ryan plans to announce his endorsement of Trump. Bloomberg has more on the potential endorsement:

Ryan aides say nothing has been decided about a possible Trump endorsement. But Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort, told a small group of Republican lawmakers Thursday that he expects Ryan to endorse the party’s nominee as early as this week, according to two people in the meeting.

If Ryan were to endorse Trump, the move would end a nearly unprecedented standoff between the House speaker and his party’s presumptive presidential nominee, and remove the biggest remaining obstacle to Trump’s efforts to unite Republicans around his campaign.

The House speaker created some GOP controversy when he told CNN earlier this month that he simply wasn’t ready to support the presumptive nominee.

Trump and Ryan ultimately met in Washington D.C. to discuss their differences. Though both men said the meeting was productive, Ryan still wasn’t prepared to support Trump’s candidacy after the sit-down.

Blog Author's Comments -- I don't see any advantage for Trump kneeling to Ryan. It's time for folks to start proving to Trump that they belong on his bandwagon. Ryan will be challenged in the primary and I am hoping he loses his seat, though doubtful, in the House. This is the guy who was made to look like a total fool during his VP debate in 2012 with now Vice President Joe Biden. Perhaps it is a good thing that Romney and Ryan did not win. We have now seen who they really are.

Donald Trump does not need Ryan, may he follow in Cantor's footsteps. I don't see that an endorsement from Ryan would help him. Ryan is just proving that he is a total ass and yet again, that the so-called leaders of the GOP are worthless. Both Ryan and McConnell are afraid that Trump will win the presidency. Things will definitely change within the Party when Donald Trump moves from 'Trump Tower' to the White House.

Donald J. Trump

Blog Author's Comments -- Paul Ryan didn’t want to be Speaker, so he claimed. He wanted to be sure his family time wasn’t reduced. It really is too bad that he took the job; he is as bad if not worse than John Boehner. I don't believe he fully understood what being the Speaker of the House entailed. His job now is to help unify the party and the presumptive nominee and other members of the party. He is doing just the opposite.

It is up to the GOP leaders to go to Cruz, Kasich and Rubio and ask them to endorse and turn over their delegates to Trump in a show of unity. I have heard that Cruz is contacting delegates, if he is doing this he undermines the good of the country. A so-called Godly man would stand by his suspended campaign decision, not hold grudges and seek to obstruct. Until he declares that he supports Trump and asks his delegates to do the same, he will remain known as 'Lyin’ Ted' because he may not have truly suspended, and if so he lied to everyone.

Hannity and Gingrich both took Ryan to task and he deserved it. Ryan said he wants to support Trump and thinks eventually he will which is code talk for the ‘Establishment’ intends to remake and mold Trump into what they want and he’ll change his ways, especially on amnesty and the Wall. This is total bullshit! Donald Trump is a deal maker and his own man, the GOP is not going to remake Trump. He is not going to be someone who does what the party tells him to do. His authenticity is what has gotten him this far and he should and will continue as he goes on to defeat Hillary Clinton.

Trump: 'Really Surprised' By Ryan Snub

Levin Slams Ryan For His Syrian Refugee Effort: 'They Don't Get It -- This Is World War III'

Breitbart -- On his Thursday radio show, conservative talker Mark Levin offered his reaction on House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) interview on Fox News Channel's "Hannity" the night before. During that appearance, Ryan laid out the components of his legislation that would deal with Syrian migrants seeking refuge in the United States.

Levin took issue with what Ryan was describing in that interview as “pause,” which he said includes a higher level of vetting of those refugees. Levin disputed Ryan’s definition of a “pause” and took aim at him the general mentality of the leadership Washington, D.C., which he argued failed to recognize the seriousness of the threat the country is facing.

“These people inside Washington – they don’t get it,” Levin said. “This is World War III. Could you imagine during World War II or World War I having these discussions? World War I, under a hideous president, Woodrow Wilson, World War II under an almost equally hideous president, FDR – did they worry about any of this stuff? Was this the national debate? The national debate was how to secure the nation and destroy the enemy and how to destroy the enemy as quickly as possible – victory, victory, victory. Do these guys even talk about victory? This entire debate is absurd.”

Levin also pointed out neither Ryan nor his U.S. Senate counterpart, Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), are doing anything to fulfill funding for the border control legislation passed during George W. Bush’s presidency, which he said calls into question the sincerity of the claim Ryan made that he wants to “secure the homeland.”

“You’re not securing the homeland, you’re pretending to secure the homeland,” Levin said. “And you should know that. You’re one of these amnesty guys. For instance, ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you a question: Has there been a renewed push by the House of Representatives led by this man to fund the 2006-2007 Border Security Act? No, there hasn’t. Has anybody seen Mitch McConnell the last three weeks? Has he been pushing that? No, he hasn’t. So let’s not pretend. Let’s not pretend the right debate is taking place and the right actions are taking place.”

---

Blog Author's Comments -- I agree with Mark Levin, a true patriot, talk show host, author, lawyer and very bright man. Nobody knows and defends the Constitution like he does. For years it has been obvious that we will not be able to act, really act, until we are hit some more. More small scale attacks. Maybe some bigger ones. It will take death and destruction to cut through the establishment narrative that current policy is effective.

While Ryan is very smart, he needs to be reminded that Obama is not a reasonable man and dealing with the Syrian refugees and the illegal Hispanics is not merely the stuff of charity. Indeed, it is the stuff of National Security. I don't believe that Obama cares if most of the people in our country do not want the illegals here but he continues his push for them. We already have laws in place if someone wants to come and live in the United States but Obama ignores them.

Mark Levin speaking about Paul Ryan, “you’re not securing the homeland, you’re pretending to secure the homeland,” Levin said. “And you should know that. You’re one of these amnesty guys. For instance, ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you a question: Has there been a renewed push by the House of Representatives led by this man to fund the 2006-2007 Border Security Act? No, there hasn’t. Has anybody seen Mitch McConnell the last three weeks? Has he been pushing that? No, he hasn’t. So let’s not pretend. Let’s not pretend the right debate is taking place and the right actions are taking place.”

Obama Shielding More Than 80% Of Illegals From Deportation

Paul Ryan Hopes To Find 'Common Ground' With Obama

Breitbart -- In an interview that aired on CBS’s “60 Minutes” Sunday, newly elected Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) said he hopes to lead a House of Representatives that is “functioning again.”

“I think wiping the slate clean was about wiping the slate clean in Congress and getting Congress, the House functioning again,” Ryan said.

However, part of that Ryan said will require finding “common ground” with the Obama White House.

“Look, if we can find common ground, we can on highways, we will on funding the government, hopefully we can on tax policy,” Ryan said. “Those are three things that will produce certainty in this economy in the next few months. Let’s go do that.”

Ryan also vowed that there would be no mass deportation of illegal immigrants while he was serving as House Speaker.

---

Blog Author's Comments -- Ryan actually expects to find 'common ground' with Obama and his administration? Is Paul Ryan another John Boehner? I was against Ryan as Speaker of the House when he was first being considered for the position. Obama is not interested in getting along or finding common ground. I don't think Ryan believes that we are at war with the Democrats. Obama is transforming the country into what he wants it to be and is not being stopped.

Another statement in the column that I can't agree with is 'Ryan also vowed that there would be no mass deportation of illegal immigrants while he was serving as House Speaker.' He can say that after what just happened in France? I am convinced something on the same scale or much larger will happen in the United States as more illegals are allowed into our country. Our only hope is to win the presidency in 2016 with a strong person and I can only think of two who fit that description that are running for the nomination.
As Governors Decry Migrants, Obama Holds Line

VP Debate - Video of All 85 Joe Biden Interruptions

---

Blog author's comments - Debate moderator Martha Raddatz should know that the primary task of a moderator is to maintain order in the debate by prohibiting constant interruptions, grimacing, laughing and generally allowing Biden to act like a complete ass. Biden was able to do what he did because she allowed him to do it. Did Joe Biden believe his actions were what anyone would expect from the vice-president of the United States?

Paul Ryan saw through it and didn't let them ruffle his feathers. As the entire charade is evaluated over the next week, it will become clear to most people who watched it - except of course the Democratic base - that Ryan won and Biden's performance did damage to the Obama administration and Democratic Party.

Debate moderator Martha Raddatz’s former husband, Julius Genachowski went to law school with Barack Obama. Obama was a guest at her wedding. Biden knew Raddatz was going to let him act belligerent and rude because of her affiliations with President Barack Obama.

MSNBC Caught Doctoring Clip From Romney/Ryan Rally

Townhall -- This breaking story comes straight from The Blaze

A clip from a recent Romney/Ryan rally has recently been played over and over at MSNBC highlighting what appears to be an embarrassing moment on the campaign trail for Governor Romney. Originally aired on Wednesday's "Morning Joe," the clip shows Paul Ryan introducing Romney as the MSNBC-added text appears on the screen proclaiming that the crowd is shouting "Ryan!" Romney gets the mic and asks the crowd to say "Romney/Ryan!" Joe Scarborough covers his face and grumbles out the words, "Sweet Jesus."[...]

During Thursday‘s edition of TheBlaze TV’s "Pat & Stu" one caller gives her account of the campaign rally.

“The crowd was yelling,” caller Sherry recounts, “the crowd was screaming ‘Romney! Romney!’ and Romney, being the gentleman [he is], we can‘t get in his head because he’s so stinking nice, he stopped us to add ‘Romney-Ryan.’”

I stitched together the MSNBC clip and the clip of The Blaze caller with Pat and Stu's reaction to her claim--and their reaction to the rally footage as they play it again without the MSNBC-added text. I also stitched together the original Romney/Ryan clip that I pulled from C-SPAN.

What appears to be an unpopular Romney seeking appreciation and attention from a Paul Ryan-infatuated audience is really a man who is generously deflecting attention away from himself onto his VP nominee.

---

Blog author's comments - This may be considered mild after we see what will come from both the White House and the liberal mainstream media in October. No low will be too low.

MSNBC and many other networks want the same thing, an Obama win no matter what has to be done to achieve it. And they refer to themselves as journalists.

We hear lies from Obama and his administration on a daily basis and the MSM covers for them to hide the truth from the voters.

I am hopeful that the majority of Americans have had enough of Obama and what he has done and will remove him from office. For the good of the country he and his administration have got to go.

Mitt Romney Picks Paul Ryan as VP Running Mate

Romney completes GOP ticket with Rep. Ryan
Fox News -- Mitt Romney announced Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate Saturday, selecting the Republican Party's go-to man on budget issues in a decision that signals the campaign will make the nation's spiraling debt a centerpiece of its attacks on President Obama.

Romney made the selection official during a campaign stop Saturday morning in Norfolk, Va., before launching a four-day bus tour.

The Republican presidential candidate called his new running mate a man of "steadiness" and "integrity." Speaking Saturday morning, Romney praised Ryan as an "intellectual leader" of the party, one who understands the toll the debt is taking on the country but is optimistic about the future.

"He doesn't demonize his opponents. He understands that honorable people can have honest differences and he appeals to the better angels of our nature," Romney said. "He's never been content to just curse the darkness. He'd rather light candles."

To the backdrop of retired battleship USS Wisconsin, an energized Ryan then riled up the crowd with a feisty speech that promoted Romney as the solution to the problems under President Obama. Ryan, met with chants of "USA, USA," gave a sweeping vision speech on free enterprise, one laced with attacks on the White House incumbent.

"No one disputes that President Obama inherited a difficult situation. And, in his first two years, with his party in complete control of Washington, he passed nearly every item on his agenda. But that didn't make things better," Ryan said. "In fact, we find ourselves in a nation facing debt, doubt and despair."

Paul Ryan's Full Speech At Vice Presidential Announcement

---

Blog author's comments - I am pleased with the choice of Paul Ryan. He should help to energize the Republican Party's campaign. The voters will ultimately choose between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama but, Ryan could possibly make a difference in the outcome of the election by helping to motivate the GOP base and win some independents.

We shall see what the voters want for their country. We will also find out what they feel the government should or should not do for them. Do they want to make their own life choices or do they want the government to care for them?

Of course the attack ads and lies against Romney and Ryan will now come raining down from the liberals at a non-stop pace. The Democrats have nothing else. They cannot run on Obama's record, in my opinion he has been a dismal failure.
