It would appear that Stewart has come up with a variation of the old Democrat favorite of "walking around money" dispensed to voters to vote for a particular candidate.

He's dispensing "running away" money to voters to against a particular candidate.

Jesus, it's not like Stewart was walking around paying homeless people not to vote for Trump. Stewart is dead wrong, but that article is ridiculous in its insinuation. He simply gave a homeless man--one homeless man--five bucks because he liked his sign. The "homeless man" is obviously just playing to a particular market...stupid liberals.

That's like saying I'm paying homeless people to get drunk if I give money to one who has a stupid sign that says "Who am I kidding? Need money for beer."

Well you are.

Get on board the Trump Train. Make America Sober Again!

What a cheap bastard. He should of given the guy a $100.00. $5.00 isn't going to cut it.

Reminds of the panhandler with a sign that read, "I only need 50 dollars to take my family and me back to Mexico."

Now that Trump is the presumptive nominee, the media will shift to attack pieces to do their best to make sure the Democratic nominee wins in November.

Here's an example:

This type of journalistic trash will be front and center each and every day until November 8th.

Washington Post says Bill Kristol and Mitt Romney are still trying to get Senator Ben Sasse or John Kasich to run as an independent.

Lot of reputations and careers going to get ruined this election.

While it may not be salvageable anyway, such a 3rd party candidate will guarantee the end of the Republican Party as we've known it in our lifetime. I guess either way, by 2020, we're going to be witness to quite a change in American politics. We live in interesting times.

Well what do you expect? The other side has what appears to be a pedophile connection... In their minds they must get out in front of this with equally sordid material to deflect.

Donald Trump: Obama’s Government Should Get Out of Kids’ Bathrooms, Locker Rooms

The federal government should leave sexual regulation of the nation’s K-12 bathrooms and locker rooms to state and local governments, Donald Trump said in multiple interviews Friday.

“I believe it should be states’ rights and I think the states should make the decision, they’re more capable of making the decision,” Trump told the audience for ABC’s Good Morning America. When pressed, he repeated his pro-federalism policy: “I just think it should be states’ rights. I think many things actually should be states’ rights, but this is a perfect example of it.”

The candidate was asked about bathrooms because of President Barack Obama’s Friday decree that the nation’s 100,000 public schools open their bathrooms and locker rooms to kids of both sexes whenever even a single child or teenager announces he or she has the “gender identity” of the opposite sex. The new rule — which is not law but is backed by federal threats to sue or slash funding — would impact roughly 55 million children.

Trump followed the same pro-federalism script when asked about Obama’s bathroom policy on NBC’s Today show. “I think this should be a states’ issue. It’s become a huge story and yet it affects — and everybody has to be protected, if it’s one person — but it’s a tiny, tiny portion of the population, and it’s become a massive story,” Trump said.

Trump declined to get into the justice of Obama’s support for transgender claims and the “gender identity’ ideology.

Many school officials welcome the new federal ideology of fluid “gender identity,” and many are reluctant to spend the money needed to fight federal or progressive lawyers.

Obama’s imposition of the new “gender identity” policy is likely to be hated by many parents, partly because it tries to exclude them from their children’s sexual development. In general, progressives argue that men and women, young boys and girls, should be free to adopt, create, and discard multiple varieties of temporary “gender identities” as they please, with or without the support of their parents and communities. That gender-fluid society, they insist, would be better than the civic rules which Americans have gradually developed to maximize benefits from the two distinct sexes’ different average capabilities and preferences.

Already, in multiple districts, parents are suing and protesting education boards to exclude the “gender identity” regime from their kids’ school lives.

Trump has tried to avoid the issue. In April, he downplayed the issue, saying transgender star Bruce Jenner could use the women’s bathrooms at his hotels. He lamented the cost to businesses caused by political disputes, such as the gender dispute in North Carolina, before he publicly endorsed the federalist argument that the dispute should be delegated to states and cities.

“There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble,” Trump said. “North Carolina, what they’re going through with all the business that is leaving and strife — and it’s on both sides — you leave it the way it is,” he said when asked about North Carolina’s law, which protects the sexual privacy of Americans and also allows transgender people to use the other sex’s bathrooms once they go through a medical procedure to change the sex on their birth-certificate.

Shortly afterwards, on Sean Hannity’s radio show, Trump began arguing that the federal government should stay out of bathroom disputes, according to CBS.

“I love North Carolina, and they have a law, and it’s a law that, you know, unfortunately is causing them some problems,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview Thursday night. “And I fully understand that they want to go through, but they are losing business, and they are having people come out against.”

“I think that local communities and states should make the decision,”Trump went on to say. “And I feel very strongly about that. The federal government should not be involved.”

“In other words, let the state decide,” Hannity responded. “Kind of like your positions on education, give it back to the states.”

“Yeah, let them decide,” Trump said. “Absolutely.”

Public opinion has shifted rapidly on the issue as voters realize the threat posed by “gender identity” to sexual privacy and to civic rules about the two sexes. For example, Target stores have been hit by a damaging consumer boycott after they imposed a pro-transgender policy that opened single-sex changing rooms to both sexes.

Only about one in every 2,400 Americans have changed their name from one sex to another, according to a recent study of the 2010 census. Even pro-transgender advocates say that only one in 300 Americans are transgender.

They are self-serving "facts" presented by someone with an obvious agenda. There aren't 5000 of these nuts in the entire country and they are all mentally ill....not "transgender." The "pro-trangender advocates" have a cause to grow and tax dollars to scam from the federal government; they need as many nuts as possible.

I graduated in 1994 and had one in my class. There were approximately 800 students in the school. I wouldn't say he flat out dressed like a female, but was pretty darn close.

He wanted to be a cheerleader, and at the time, all of our cheerleaders were limited to being female. He threatened to sue, and after some discussions, they allowed him to join the team. When they presented him with a male cheerleader outfit, he protested. That's where the school drew the line. They weren't going to let him wear a skirt.

Nice enough person otherwise. He used the mens room, and locker room during gym class. I don't recall him assaulting anybody, nor do I even recall any accusations of him looking at anybody in any way that made them uncomfortable.

Through my time in the nightclub business, I have met weirdos of all persuasions including people who believed they were of a sex other than what they were. I even ran into two while doing safe work. One a man who thought he was a woman, and one a woman who thought she was a man.

Our state wide newspaper, The Star and Tribune, the pure definition of a progressive Rag, has at least one article and sometimes up to three, disparaging Trump and discussing the unhappiness of the main stream conservative with him.
The fact that they use Mitt Romney as an example of a main stream conservative is inane. But, in this state of 4.5 million people and 5,2 million liberal democrat voters, the anti Trump drumbeat will never cease.

According to what I read, only about 00.03 % claim to be transgender.

Also heard on the car radio yesterday, some expert who had done a long study, said that upwards of 90% of youth who feel at some point that they are the opposite sex, "grow out of it" when a little older.

This whole topic is nothing more than one more assault on our nation's fundamentals.

The Conservative Case for Trump

quote:

As a longstanding Reagan conservative, my initial preference was Ted Cruz; yet I would have voted for any of the candidates over Hillary. I held my nose for McCain and Romney, and hope some at least hold their noses and vote for Trump. However, I’d rather you do more than that, I’d rather you consider actually voting FOR Donald Trump. The case for Trump is a good one.

Elk, I agree on all points. I remember being shot down (in flames) quite a few times with the opposite sex when young...it messes with your head at a time that youre head is already messed up. I never had thoughts of being a cheerleader however.

Working in the airline biz, I have exposure to probably more of the "questioning crowd" than most. I work with straight folks, gay folks and yes...a few that have done the swap. (We have 2 that have gone from standing to required sitting. I'm talking flight attendants by the way and not pilots.) I have serious reservations about the transgenders to do their job in case of an emergency. "Something" is missing in their personalities that comes out under stress. Ive seen it. I just cant do anything about it as I would be fired if I pursued it. I just hope I dont need thier assistance one day.

Straight and gay folks...theres good and bad with them too.

I guess it comes down to being comfortable with who you are. If you are comfortable with yourself, than I am too. If youre not...it shows up in any number of ways usually not good.
