Trump Mystery Challenger May Emerge This Week: Condi, Martinez or Even Romney?

This Memorial Day weekend may mark a turning point in what one pundit called the "weirdest" election ever as news that a third party candidacy became real.

Bill Kristol, one of the nation's leading conservatives and editor of the influential Weekly Standard, tweeted on Saturday: "Just a heads up over this holiday weekend: There will be an independent candidate – an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance."

This triggered a barrage of tweets from GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump, who dissed Kristol as a "dummy" and an "embarrassed loser."

But if the news is true, it could be bad news for Trump, who himself had threatened a third party bid during the early stages of the GOP primary.

On Monday, NBC News listed potential independent candidates Kristol may have in mind.

The network identified Mitt Romney, but said sources close to the former Massachusetts governor saw his entrance into the race as "unlikely."

They also discounted Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, a strong critic of Trump, signing on.

But the network identified potential wildcard choices, including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and current New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.

But the Kristol news indicates Trump appears to have failed in winning over key conservative base support as he prepares for the RNC's July convention in Cleveland, usually a unifying event for the party.

Two leading conservative thought publications – Kristol's Weekly Standard and National Review, remain staunchly opposed to his candidacy, even with Trump close to holding the official Republican imprimatur.

Trump has won over a number of establishment endorsements, but still, many have remained on the sidelines, including current House Speaker Paul Ryan.

On Sunday, the Washington Post headlined, "Even in victory, Donald Trump can't stop airing his grievances." The accompanying article detailed Trump's attacks last week on a slew of personalities that may be giving pause to GOP party leaders.

Trump's targets included the Hispanic judge overseeing the civil suit he faces over Trump University, Gov. Martinez, and Mitt Romney, among others. Trump said Romney "walks like a penguin."

Romney, like Kristol, has been a leader in efforts to recruit a third-party candidate who could not only stop Trump, but perhaps win a three-way race.

Backers of the third party bid think that both Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton have extremely high negatives among voters.

This, coupled with the fact that Trump may cut into union, blue collar and some ethnic voters that traditionally vote Democratic, may open the door for a conservative third party candidate becoming viable – and even winning in once die-hard Blue States.

Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday that Romney's efforts to stop Trump were motivated by "jealousy."

In a Saturday Wall Street Journal story, Romney explained his own reason for taking on Trump.

"I wanted my grandkids to see that I simply couldn't ignore what Mr. Trump was saying and doing, which revealed a character and temperament unfit for the leader of the free world," Romney said.

He added: "Friends warned me, ‘Don't speak out, stay out of the fray,' because criticizing Mr. Trump will only help him by giving him someone else to attack," Romney said. "They were right. I became his next target, and the incoming attacks have been constant and brutal."

A recent Washinton Post-ABC News poll found that in a three-way race, Romney would draw 22 percent of the vote against both Clinton and Trump. This makes him not only a strong contender, but he could qualify for presidential debates, which require a 15 percent threshold in national polls.

The Journal quoted a Romney confidant as saying his friend is determined: "He feels like the last lion."

Trump adviser Ben Carson suggested an independent bid would hand the White House to Hillary.

And Trump, in his twitter storm against Kristol, wrote that if he "actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court!"

But Kristol and anti-Trump conservatives like Erick Erickson, founder of Red State, believe Trump will lose decisively to Hillary Clinton come November. The loss will not only dash GOP hopes of winning the White House, but end Republican control of the Senate as the party faces more than a half dozen toss-up races across the country.

"If that happens, the Republicans can kiss more than the Supreme Court good-bye, but perhaps the whole federal judiciary," a Republican congressman who opposes Trump told Newsmax.

NBC, citing sources, said the Trump challenger may come forward as early as this week.

Urgent: Rate Obama on His Job Performance. Vote Here Now!

Wyoming Right! ACLU out! Go Marines! ... Thx Sarah R and Keith B!

The ACLU recently closed it's only office here in Wyoming (Cheyenne) in recognition of the fact that they are not welcome here; no kidding, this was in the Laramie newspaper a couple days ago.

          USMC vs. the ACLU

                              OOH RAH !!! - "SEMPER FI"

        THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE USA MANY TIMES SO KEEP IT GOING!

If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying. This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. "These are federal employees," says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, "on federal property and on federal time... For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately."

When asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said,
"Screw the ACLU, GOD Bless Our Warriors. Send the ACLU to Afghanistan and then watch those SONS OF BITCHES pray   .   "

Please send this to people you know so everyone will know how stupid the ACLU is getting in trying to remove GOD from everything and every place in America .

May God Bless America , One Nation Under GOD!
What's wrong with the picture?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!

I can't agree with the Colonel's strong language for the ACLU but we have mammy-pampied that group to power in the past! SamKat

SamKat has a very good friend who rarely agrees with his political views. However my friend has the right idea about the political service. Many of these politicians get caught up with their early popularity or successes and decide they can be elected so they enter the political "game".

In our once great country it was not meant to be a game but a service. Whoever said a democracy or a republic game is over when the elected start serving themselves rather than those they "serve", or about two centuries. The game is over was right and the USA is there at our age of 240 years. Years of service is a farce when they can go into the game as paupers and most often very quickly lose out or stay in the game as millionaires or perhaps even billionaires.

My friend's idea is simply to limit all political offices to six year time limits. Sure it would foul up seniority rules in our government but they have fouled up most of the representation rules anyway.

Serve us, the public, and get out and do your own in the private enterprise system would truly serve all of us better. I have had it with self-serving long time 'servants'!

One of the greatest, Winston Churchill famously said: "Democracy is the worst form of government in the world ... except for any other kind. Socialism or communism have never worked for the common citizens!

Wake up Amurica!

The Last Flight



"The American flag does not fly because the wind moves past it.....

The American flag flies from the last breath of each military member who has died serving it."

AIRLINE CAPTAIN- You will not regret reading this one. I Promise

My lead flight attendant came to me and said, "We have an H.R. on this flight." (H.R. stands for human remains.)

"Are they military?" I asked.

'Yes', she said.

'Is there an escort?' I asked.

'Yes, I've already assigned him a seat'.

'Would you please tell him to come to the Flight Deck. You can board him early," I said...

A short while later a young army sergeant entered the flight deck. He was the image of the perfectly dressed soldier. He introduced himself and I asked him about his soldier.

The escorts of these fallen soldiers talk about them as if they are still alive and still with us. 'My soldier is on his way back to Virginia,' he said. He proceeded to answer my questions, but offered no words.

I asked him if there was anything I could do for him and he said no.  I told him that he had the toughest job in the military, and that I appreciated the work that he does for the families of our fallen soldiers. The first officer and I got up out of our seats to shake his hand. He left the Flight Deck to find his seat.

We completed our preflight checks, pushed back and performed an uneventful departure. About 30 minutes into our flight, I received a call from the lead flight attendant in the cabin.

'I just found out the family of the soldier we are carrying, is also on board', she said. She then proceeded to tell me that the father, mother, wife and 2-year old daughter were escorting their son, husband, and father home. The family was upset because they were unable to see the container that the soldier was in before we left.

We were on our way to a major hub at which the family was going to wait four hours for the connecting flight home to Virginia . The father of the soldier told the flight attendant that knowing his son was below him in the cargo compartment and being unable to see him was too much for him and the family to bear. He had asked the flight attendant if there was anything that could be done to allow them to see him upon our arrival. The family wanted to be outside by the cargo door to watch the soldier being taken off the airplane.

I could hear the desperation in the flight attendants voice when she asked me if there was anything I could do. 'I'm on it', I said. I told her that I would get back to her.

Airborne communication with my company normally occurs in the form of e-mail like messages. I decided to bypass this system and contact my flight dispatcher directly on a secondary radio. There is a radio operator in the operations control center who connects you to the telephone of the dispatcher. I was in direct contact with the dispatcher. I explained the situation I had on board with the family and what it was the family wanted. He said he understood and that he would get back to me.

Two hours went by and I had not heard from the dispatcher. We were going to get busy soon and I needed to know what to tell the family. I sent a text message asking for an update. I saved the return message from the dispatcher and the following is the text:

'Captain, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. There is policy on this now, and I had to check on a few things. Upon your arrival a dedicated escort team will meet the aircraft. The team will escort the family to the ramp and plane side. A van will be used to load the remains with a secondary van for the family.

The family will be taken to their departure area and escorted into the terminal, where the remains can be seen on the ramp. It is a private area for the family only. When the connecting aircraft arrives, the family will be escorted onto the ramp and plane side to watch the remains being loaded for the final leg home.

Captain, most of us here in flight control are veterans. Please pass our condolences on to the family. Thanks.

I sent a message back, telling flight control thanks for a good job. I printed out the message and gave it to the lead flight attendant to pass on to the father. The lead flight attendant was very thankful and told me, 'You have no idea how much this will mean to them.'

Things started getting busy for the descent, approach and landing.   After landing, we cleared the runway and taxied to the ramp area. The ramp is huge with 15 gates on either side of the alleyway. It is always a busy area with aircraft maneuvering every which way to enter and exit. When we entered the ramp and checked in with the ramp controller, we were told that all traffic was being held for us.

'There is a team in place to meet the aircraft', we were told. It looked like it was all coming together, then I realized that once we turned the seat belt sign off, everyone would stand up at once and delay the family from getting off the airplane. As we approached our gate, I asked the copilot to tell the ramp controller, we were going to stop short of the gate to make an announcement to the passengers. He did that and the ramp controller said, 'Take your time.'

I stopped the aircraft and set the parking brake. I pushed the public address button and said: 'Ladies and gentleman, this is your Captain speaking: I have stopped short of our gate to make a special announcement. We have a passenger on board who deserves our honor and respect. His name is Private XXXXXX, a soldier who recently lost his life. Private XXXXXX s under your feet in the cargo hold. Escorting him today is Army Sergeant XXXXXX. Also, on board are his father, mother, wife, and daughter. Your entire flight crew is asking for all passengers to remain in their seats to allow the family to exit the aircraft first. Thank you.'
We continued the turn to the gate, came to a stop and started our shutdown procedures. A couple of minutes later I opened the cockpit door. I found the two forward flight attendants crying, something you just do not see. I was told that after we came to a stop, every passenger on the aircraft stayed in their seats, waiting for the family to exit the aircraft.

When the family got up and gathered their things, a passenger slowly started to clap his hands. Moments later, more passengers joined in and soon the entire aircraft was clapping. Words of 'God Bless You', I'm sorry, thank you, be proud, and other kind words were uttered to the family as they made their way down the aisle and out of the airplane. They were escorted down to the ramp to finally be with their loved one.

Many of the passengers disembarking thanked me for the announcement I had made. They were just words, I told them, I could say them over and over again, but nothing I say will bring back that brave soldier.

I respectfully ask that all of you reflect on this event and the sacrifices that millions of our men and women have made to ensure our freedom andsafety in these United States of AMERICA.
