LONDON -- Facing all-but guaranteed defeat in their last urban stronghold, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) extremists seem to be relying more heavily on the youngest of their recruits to carryout both attacks, and deliver their propaganda.

For the first time, a child of purported U.S. origin has been put in front of ISIS cameras as a mouthpiece for the terror group.

MESA, AZ (KPHO/KTVK) -
The son of Donald Trump showed his compassionate side and helped out a driver in need while campaigning in the Valley.

A Twitter video shows Donald Trump Jr. helping a family push their broken-down car in the area of McLellan and Alma School roads in Mesa Thursday afternoon.

According to Maricopa County GOP Chairman Tyler Bowyer, Trump was on his way from the rally at Arizona State University in Tempe to another event when he hopped out of his vehicle to help push the woman's car off the road.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are leading their competitors by double digits in Michigan's March 8 primary, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.

In the Republican race, Trump gets support from 41 percent of likely primary voters — followed by Ted Cruz at 22 percent, Marco Rubio at 17 percent and John Kasich at 13 percent.

The poll was partially conducted before Ben Carson announced that he did not see a path forward in the GOP contest. With Carson in the race and before his second-choice support was reallocated, the race was Trump 40 percent, Cruz 19 percent, Rubio 15 percent, Kasich 11 percent and Carson 9 percent.)

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) sparred in an early presidential-debate exchange during which Trump confronted the audience multiple times.

Bush brought up Trump's name unprompted in order to question the real-estate developer's plans to combat the Islamic State in the Middle East. Bush said it was "ludicrous" to support Russia helping the US out in Syria, as Trump has done.

"Let me just tell you this: Jeb is so wrong. Jeb is absolutely so — ah," Trump began.

A chorus of booed in the audience interrupted Trump, who then suggested that the crowd was stacked with pro-Bush elites in the GOP establishment.

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump confronted a Republican debate audience that repeatedly booed him during an exchange with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R).

Their sparring come over eminent domain — the power of the government to force people to sell their private property — which many conservatives have long criticized.

After Trump defended the general concept of eminent domain as a "necessity" for government, Bush jumped in with a specific critique of the developer's record on the topic.

By Alex Pappas, Oct 02, 2015 Daily Caller

Donald Trump and Ben Carson — the two Republican frontrunners — support the Republican National Committee’s move to “suspend” its relationship with NBC News for a GOP presidential debate in February because of frustration with how CNBC handled this week’s debate.

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks provided a statement to The Daily Caller: “The campaign supports the RNC’s decision to suspend the debate on February 26th due to the total lack of substance and respect exhibited during Wednesday night’s debate. We look forward to pursuing alternatives along with the RNC to ensure candidates are given ample opportunity to outline their vision for the future of our country.”

By Dana Bash, Sep 09, 2015 CNN

Washington (CNN)Presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Ted Cruz took to the steps of Capitol Hill on Wednesday, each using their trademark fiery rhetoric to slam President Barack Obama's proposed Iran nuclear deal.

Taking the podium with R.E.M.'s "The End of the World" blaring, the real estate mogul used a brief speech to say that if elected, four Americans being held in Iran will return to the U.S. before he takes office.

"I've never seen something so incompetently negotiated -- and I mean never," Trump said.

Trump followed Cruz, who said that if Congress approves the current deal, Iran could end up developing a weapon that could kill millions along the Atlantic seaboard.

"If Senate Democrats decide that party loyalty matters more than national security and if Republican leadership decides that showboating is more important than stopping this deal, then the single most important issue in 2016 will be stopping Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon," he said.

By Larry Elder, Aug 20 2015 World Net Daily

Donald Trump stands accused of “trashing the GOP brand” by many of the same GOP politicians and pundits who have no reluctance in “trashing” the most consequential recent decision made by a Republican president – the decision to go to war in Iraq.

When asked a few months ago whether he would have authorized the 2003 war in Iraq, as his brother President George W. Bush did, Republican candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush first said yes, “I would have.” Then, when criticized days later, the younger Bush did a 180: “So here’s the deal. If we’re all supposed to answer hypothetical questions, knowing what we know now, I would not have engaged. I would not have gone into Iraq.” Other Republican candidates – with the exception of Sen. Lindsey Graham – quickly jumped on board the “I wouldn’t have gone into Iraq” bus.

Commentator George Will, who calls Donald Trump “vulgar,” once robustly supported the Iraq War. He later called it “the worst foreign policy decision in U.S. history.”

And Trump is hurting the Republican brand? Let’s revisit.

After 9/11, 90 percent of Americans expected an Islamic terror strike again within six months to a year. Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, against whom we had previously gone to war in 1991, was shooting at the British and American planes patrolling the “no-fly zones.” He was sending $25,000 to families of homicide bombers who struck in Israel. He was stealing from the so-called Oil-for-Food Program, doing who knows what with the money. He had attempted to assassinate President George Herbert Walker Bush, and he had used chemical weapons on the Iranians and his own people on Iraqi soil.

George W. Bush sought and obtained a resolution from the House and from the Senate, and got a unanimous resolution from the United Nations that told the dictator to fully and thoroughly declare what he did with his chemical and biological weapons – or face consequences. At that time over 70 percent of Americans supported going to war in Iraq. Two months after the invasion, a Gallup poll found 79 percent of Americans thought the war was justified – whether or not there was evidence of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons – while only 19 percent believed weapons were necessary to justify the war.

Bush retained the same CIA director, George Tenet, who served under Bill Clinton. Tenet assured Bush that this assertion that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction was a “slam dunk.” All 16 of our intelligence agencies told Bush – at the highest level of probability – that Saddam possessed WMD. The only dissent was over how far along he was in his nuclear weapons program.

After the invasion, Bush sent in weapons hunter David Kay, and later Charles Duelfer, to locate the expected stockpiles. They did not find stockpiles, but both said that Saddam retained the intent and the capacity – waiting only for the expected lifting of sanctions to restart his chemical and biological programs.

Our current director of national intelligence, James Clapper, said that he believes Saddam did possess the stockpiles but “unquestionably” got rid of them during this run-up in an effort to “destroy and disperse” evidence just before the war began. Top Iraqi general Georges Sada says that he helped send the WMD out of Iraq and into Syria via planes and trucks.

The New York Times reported last year that American soldiers were getting sick because of the chemical and biological material they were encountering: “Jarrod L. Taylor, a former Army sergeant on hand for the destruction of mustard shells that burned two soldiers in his infantry company, joked of ‘wounds that never happened’ from ‘that stuff that didn’t exist.’ The public, he said, was misled for a decade. ‘I love it when I hear, oh there weren’t any chemical weapons in Iraq,’ he said. ‘There were plenty.’”

But the New York Times said the chemical and biological materials encountered by the soldiers were not evidence of an “active” chemical and biological weapons program. Active? Who said anything about “active”? The war resolution simply asserted that Iraq possessed these weapons, demanded their dismantling and an accounting of this dismantling.

No WMD?

Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno, who just retired, only days ago said: “I talked to all the Iraqi generals. They’ll tell you there were nuclear weapons. They believed there were. The bottom line is they absolutely believe there were nuclear weapons on the ground. To say we shouldn’t have went in there now because we know there wasn’t any or we didn’t find any, I think is a little bit of hindsight.”

In December 2011, President Barack Obama, who had called Iraq a “dumb war” designed to divert attention from George W. Bush’s “failing economy,” pulled out. He did so after calling Iraq “sovereign, stable and self-reliant,” leaving no stay-behind force.

Our American military did its job. Rather than remind the American people of why we went to war – the near-unanimous intelligence and the very real evidence that the stockpiles were there – the Republican presidential candidates run from the war like scalded chickens.

But it’s Donald Trump who has “hurt the Republican brand”?

Last night in Cleveland, the 17 declared Republican presidential candidates participated in the first official debates of the 2016 election season. Health care policy was a bone of contention. “How can you run for the Republican nomination and be for single-payer health care?” asked former Texas Gov. Rick Perry of Trump. When Fox anchor Bret Baier later asked Trump to defend his position, Trump responded: “As far as single payer, it works in Canada, it works incredibly well in Scotland.” Here’s why Trump is wrong.

Trump’s Haters Need To Man Up And Deal 


By  Andrea Peyser, Aug 10, 2015 NY Post

It’s an unwritten commandment of politics: Thou shalt make no mention — ever — of a woman’s menstrual cycle.

Bringing up women’s biological differences from males seems as mean-spirited as talking about the state of Donald Trump’s hairdo. There, I put it out there. Again.

But you won’t hear me called a sexist pig waging a War on Men. Because making fun of The Donald on a superficial level is not just de rigueur in this Republican primary season. For a columnist, it represents a virtually required sexist double-standard.

Where is the outrage?

The billionaire real estate developer was swiftboated Thursday night. He was effectively tried and convicted of displaying grotesque sexism by Megyn Kelly, co-moderator of the first prime-time debate for the 2016 GOP presidential candidates.

Trump:  'I've Been Viciously Attacked' By Women




By Mark Hensch, Aug 09, 2015 Washington Post

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Sunday that he will strongly defend himself from critics regardless of their gender.

Trump rejected claims that he treats women who disagree with him unfairly.
“When I’m attacked, I fight back,” Trump told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“I was attacked very viciously by those women,” he said of female opponents whom his detractors say he demeaned.

“What they said about me is far worse than what I said about them,” Trump added. “Am I allowed to defend myself? I want to get back to the country. We have such problems.”

VIDEO: Donald Trump Turns Black Women Into Republicans




By Kyle Olson, Aug 07, 2015 The American Mirror

Suffice it to say there are at least two women who support Donald Trump for president.

A duo of black women — hosting a YouTube “show” called “The Viewers View” — eviscerated Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly for her questions related to Trump’s statements on Twitter concerning women.

Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson produced, “Megyn Kelly and that Damn Debate,” today:

Graham Says Trump's Inflicting Permanent Damage On GOP 


By Philip Rucker, Aug 08, 2015 Washington Post

Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that fellow presidential candidate Donald Trump's derogatory commentary has begun inflicting permanent and possibly fatal damage to the Republican Party brand and urged GOP leaders to stop "tiptoeing" around the billionaire businessman and to confront him directly and unequivocally.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Graham said Trump's personal attacks on Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly after she questioned him in Thursday night's primary debate were "an affront to all women" and undermine the Republican Party's urgent mission to appeal to more women voters.

Trumps History Of Flippant Misogyny


By Karen Tumulty, Aug 08, 2015 Washington Post

For decades, Donald Trump has made flippant misogyny as much a part of his trademark as his ostentatious lifestyle.

Now, the former reality-television host and current front-runner in the polls for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination may be paying a price for a boorish barb that also renewed his party’s internal consternation over its recent history of alienating women voters.

What did it was not what he said — which was in keeping with his earlier comments — but directing it at a highly regarded
Fox News Channel anchor who is popular with the Republican faithful.

GOP Leaders Say Erratic Attacks Hurt Trump But He Vows To Flight And Win


By Philip Rucker and Robert Costa, Aug 08, 2015 Washington Post

Republican leaders who have watched Donald Trump’s summer surge with alarm now believe that his presidential candidacy has been contained and may begin to collapse because of his repeated attacks on a Fox News Channel star and his refusal to pledge his loyalty to the eventual GOP nominee.

Fearful that the billionaire’s inflammatory rhetoric has inflicted serious damage to the GOP brand, party leaders hope to pivot away from the Trump sideshow and toward a more serious discussion among a deep field of governors, senators and other candidates.

Trump Disinvited At Redstate Event




By Robert Costa, Aug 08, 2015 Washington Post

ATLANTA — Conservative commentator Erick Erickson on Friday night disinvited GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump from speaking at an activist conference he is hosting here this weekend, citing disparaging remarks Trump made hours earlier on CNN about Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Erickson said Trump had been scheduled to speak at his RedState gathering on Saturday at the College Football Hall of Fame, but he told Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s campaign manager, about an hour before midnight that Trump was no longer welcome.

Trump’s campaign said in a statement that Erickson’s decision was “another example of weakness through being politically correct. For all the people who were looking forward to Mr. Trump coming, we will miss you. Blame Erick Erickson, your weak and pathetic leader. We’ll now be doing another campaign stop at another location.”

Trump Slams Fox News




By Elliot Smilowitz, Aug 07, 2015 The Hill
Donald Trump thinks reader polls on Drudge Report and Time Magazine should carry more weight in judging public reaction to Thursday’s GOP presidential debate than a Fox News panel that ran immediately after the debate.

Speaking with Don Lemon live on CNN on Friday night, Trump lauded his winning performance in reader polls asking who won the debate, particularly the poll run by Drudge Report.

By Just Jared, Aug 06, 2015

Donald Trump stands between Scott Walker and Jeb Bush while on stage at the first prime-time presidential debate hosted by Fox News and Facebook on Thursday (August 6) at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

One of the first controversial moments of the night was when host Megyn Kelly asked Trump about his “disparaging comments about women’s looks.”

After insulting Rosie O’Donnell, he said, “I don’t have time for total political correctness. What I say is what I say… I’ve been very nice to you, although I could maybe not be based on the way you’ve treated me.”

Donald Trump Fires Angry Tweets At Foxes Megyn Kelly And Frank Luntz




By Jason Molinet, Aug 07, 2015 NT Daily News

Someone needs a Twitter time out.

Donald Trump was still on the offensive in every sense of the word, hours after the GOP debate ended.

First he elbowed his way through the crowded field of Republican presidential hopefuls on stage in Cleveland. Then he lambasted Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly and analyst Frank Luntz, saving his most pointed attacks of the night for the media personalities.
